recap
The ninja let go of her head and saw as the rivers current carried Sakura off. He smirked and watched as the pink haired kunoichi was brought closer towards the edge of the waterfall...

The young Uchiha finished off the Sound ninja and found that Naruto and Takumi had done the same. He smirked at the two before walking over to them.
"Hey Sasuke Teme I killed 4 ninjas!" Cheered the Kyuubi holder.
"Whatever loser..." Sasuke retorted.
Takumi put on an annoyed expression, but it soon disappeared and his eyes widened. Sasuke stared at the transfer ninja and gave him a questioning look.
Naruto stopped cheering and glanced over at Sasuke and then at Takumi. He scratched his head and gave them a sheepish grin.
"Whats wrong?"
Takumi looked at Naruto and then pointed at the pile of ninjas that the blonde haired ninja had defeated. Naruto gave him a confused look before saying...
"What the hell is your problem?"
"Spit whatever you have to say out!"
Takumi gulped and then slowly closed his brown eyes. He opened his mouth and began to speak...
"You said that you got 4 ninjas..."
Naruto nodded his head and said. "Yes."
"Then why are there only 3?" Asked the transfer.
The Kyuubi holder nearly pulled out his hair for not noticing before. Sasuke sighed and took out a kunai just in case the ninja was still here.
Then something hit the young Uchiha that nearly made him shout at his two teamates... 'Sakura!'
"Where is Sakura!" Demanded the raven haired boy.
Takumi and Naruto looked around and began to call out her name... no response... The young Uchiha stared at the two in disbelief that they had lost Sakura.
"Shes gone!" Shouted Naruto.
"Dammit!" Sasuke cursed, gripping tighter onto the kunai.
'That Sound ninja must have her...'
Before anyone could say a thing Sasuke had taken off where he could feel the Sound nin's chakra. Naruto and Takumi followed behind the raven haired boy.
Sasuke knew that they were getting closer to the ninja and the closer he got the more pissed he became. The sound of rushing water filled Sasuke's ears and he stopped dead in his tracks.
There slowly walking away from a river, Sasuke could make out a Sound ninja. He threw the kunai in the direction of the ninja and hit!
The Sound nin never saw it coming. It happened all so fast for him to dodge the soaring weapon... The kunai struck him directly in the chest.
This made him caugh up blood before falling to the ground, panting for as much oxygen as possible. He wouldn't make it... The Sound ninja knew it but decided to tell Sasuke the bad news.
The young Uchiha ran up the the enemy and held him up by the collar of his shirt. He shook the Sound nin until he was satisfied and began to speak...
"Where is Sakura!"
The ninja smirked and parted his lips to talk but instead he chocked on his blood. Sasuke threw him to the ground and like answering his own question...
The young Uchiha caught sight of pink in the corner of his onyx eyes and turned in the direction. He saw the river's vicious waves crashing onto large rocks and looked to where the edge of the waterfall was.
As if in slow motion Sasuke witnessed the pink haired kunoichi's body inch towards the edge and then fall... Vanishing infront of Sasuke's eyes.
The raven haired ninja ran towards the waterfall and looked down. All he saw was Sakura sink to the bottom of the lake, the power of the falls forcing her body under...
Sasuke had to fight back all the tears that were forming in his eyes. He quickly shut his onyx eyes began to shiver from the cold air that came rushing by.
The Uchiha punched the ground creating a small hole. He limply began to walk back and tell Naruto and Takumi, to his surprise they were standing behind him... staring.
"Any luck yet?" Naruto asked.
Again... Sasuke Uchiha had to fight back the tears from the loss of his female teamate. He clenched his fists and decided to just tell the two...
"Sakura... she fell down the waterfall..."
Naruto looked like he too would burst out crying and Takumi gave him a solomn look. Sasuke unclenched his fists and began to run down towards the lake.
It took Naruto awhile to process what Sasuke had just told him. The Kyuubi holder looked at Takumi and they followed once again behind the Uchiha.
While running Sasuke let a few of his tears slip from his eyes. Rolling down his cheeks as he ran to his destination.
The Uchiha ran as fast as his legs would let him go...
When the large lake came into view Sasuke took no hesitation in diving into the cold water. He swam towards the waterfalls end and dove under...
Sasuke looked around searching for his female friend. Lucky for him Sakura had bright pink hair that would stand out in the deep blue water.
He frantically searched the water and spotted something pink near the bottom of the lake. Sasuke swam deeper and deeper until he was an arms length away...
Sasuke took hold of Sakura's arm and descended to the surface. He felt his lungs burning for oxygen and swam faster until he reached the top and gasped for air.
The Uchiha had Sakura's head above the water as he began to swim to shore. He carried Sakura out and placed her body softly onto the ground.
Sasuke looked at her lifeless form and checked for a pulse. He placed two fingers on the inside of Sakura's wrist and waited to feel a pulse...
There was nothing... Sasuke placed her arm back down and looked at her face. It was fairly pale and her wet clothes clung to her body.
Naruto and Takumi appeared and ran to Sakura. The blonde haired ninja looked at Sasuke who was now looking down as for Takumi who had his face looking towards the ground...
The transfer looked at Sakura and lowered himself next to her. He slowly brought his lips down on hers and put his oxygen into her airway.
Takumi removed his lips and placed his hands in the middle of her chest. He pushed down 7 times before repeating the process earlier...
Takumi checked for a pulse and concentraited. He could feel one! Even if it was faint it was still there. Takumi began to blow into her mouth once again...
When he stopped and pushed down on her chest one last time. He could see water running down from her slightly open mouth.
Sasuke looked at the transfer ninja and then at Sakura. His hope lit up as he watched Takumi give Sakura cpr. Sasuke began to fall deep in thought...
'Damn I want to be the one to feel her lips against my own...'
'Wait! did I just...'
Sasuke was quickly snapped out of his thoughts as Takumi began to speak in a deep voice. The Uchiha looked at the Mist ninja who was now pushing harder on Sakura's chest.
"Come on Sakura!"
"You have to make it!"
Sasuke saw the female teamate begin to spit out tons of water all over the ground and herself. When she stopped Sakura could only see black and and hear familiar voices...
'Naruto... Takumi... Sasuke...'
