Without a warning, Sarada took off into the forest. The shinobi around her got ready to pursue her, but Naruto waved his hand to them. "Don't worry about her. Let her go." He turned to Shikamaru, who was now kneeling next to ChoCho's body. "How is she doing?"

"Bad. I'm not sure she'll make it Lord Hokage."

Naruto sighed. "Go call Sakura, but do not, in any circumstances, mention that Sarada was the cause."

"Yes sir!" Shikamaru jumped and vanished into thin air. The Hokage walked over and knelt down by the young kunoichi's dying body.

How am I going to tell Choji? Better yet, what am I going to tell Sasuke?

Sarada lept through the forest in a panic. Nothing but images of her dead friend, laying lifeless on the dirt, flooded her mind. She couldn't help but to sob. She was terrified, but most of all, she was mourning. Sarada had killed the person she cared for the most. The frightened Uchiha stopped by a nearby creek and knelt down beside the river bank. Her reflection shimmered onto the water's crystal clear surface. ChoCho's blood stained her cheeks, right arm, and her head band.

What happened to me…?!

Sarada stuck her stained arm into the water and quickly washed it off. She cupped her hands and brought some of it to her face. After she was done cleaning up, she got up and darted off.

My Mom's going to kill me. Everyone is going to kill me. My Dad…

Sarada's eyes swelled up with hot tears.

My Dad isn't going to love me…

Sarada arrived to her house. She quietly cracked it open. "Mom?" She cooed softly. No answer was heard. Sarada walked around her living space and noticed her Mother wasn't there. Today was her day off, but the girl assumed that she had errands to run. Sarada ran to her room. She immediately threw off her dirty clothes ad slipped into fresh ones. She walked over to her bed and laid across it. The Uchiha closed her eyes and relaxed. The last thing she remembered was spearing her best friend into her heart.

Sakura arrived on the scene. A couple of the medical shinobi spotted her and waved in her direction. The pink haired woman ran over, spotted the dying girl, and went straight to work. "We are going to have to take her to the hospital. She's lost almost all her blood." She pointed to two medics that knelt beside her. "You two, go get a room prepared with IV's and lots of blood packs. Sakura averted her eyes to the medics in front of her. "Help me seal these wounds in the meantime."

Naruto crept behind the woman. "How is she?"

Sakura shook her head in frustration. "IT's not good. You better pray to God for a miracle. Have you let her parents know?"

"Shikamaru is on his way as we speak. Say Sakura, when is Sasuke coming back?"

"He should be here in about a day or two. He was planning to surprise Sarada. Why do you ask?"

"No reason." Naruto paused. "I just wanted to catch up with him."

"I'll relay the message." Sakura picked up ChoCho. "I've got to run. We'll talk later Naruto." She darted off and vanished into the city.

I apologize Sakura, Naruto thought as we waved goodbye. I just couldn't tell you…

Shikamaru appeared next to Naruto. "I've informed Choji."

"Why didn't you stop her?" Naruto asked.

"Truthfully, it all happened too fast. One second she was throwing lightning speed punches and the next, she stabbed ChoCho in the heart. It wasn't until right then and there I realized what happened. I do sincerely apologize."

"It's fine, don't feel bad. I'm just curious as to why she would do that. Has Sarada ever showed signs of aggression towards anyone?"

"Besides the fact she goes off on Boruto, nothing sir. She has to be the most behaved in her class."

Naruto's eyes gazed off to the distance. "I may have an idea on what's going on. Shikamaru, inform the others to not release any information on what just happened. After you have done that, send the kids home."

"Right away Lord Hokage."

Naruto sprinted to his office. "Sasuke… Where are you?"
