Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

THANKS TO MIZUKI-CHAN UCHIHA FOR BIENG MY FIRST REVIEWER YOU GAVE ME MOTIVATION! And another thanks to the rest of my reviewers!

Sakuras POV.

I was on my way to see Ino at her family's flower shop.

I walked in and quickly hid behind some petunias because Lee was at the counter.

After he left I went up to the counter and started talking to Ino.

"Hey forehead"

"Shut up Ino pig"

"Somebody is in a bad mood today"

"It's just that I have a mission in the morning and I really don't feel like going"

"Why?"

"I might be there for a while with Naruto and Sasuke"

Ino leaned in close.

"Do you still like him?"

"Not that much barley at all I mean he did leave the village for a couple of years which broke my heart."

"Don't worry I'm sure things will be for the best between you two."

"Thanks Ino"

"So what's this mission about?"

"Orochimaru and perhaps my dad."

"Are you going to tell them who he is?"

"No it would probably make them distracted, if they don't need to know then I won't tell them."

"Good thinking"

I waved bye to Ino and left the shop I still had to pack.

I was turning the corner when I bumped into someone.

"Oh sorry"

I looked up to see who I had bumped into it was Sasuke.

"Sorry about that" I apologized.

"Sakura … are you mad at me?"

I was surprised at Sasukes question.

"Nah your too good of a friend to be mad at"

Before Sasuke had a chance to say anything Ten ten came running and grabbed my arm.

Sasukes POV.

I watched as Ten Ten grabbed Sakuras arm.

"Your needed at the hospital immediately."

"Why?"

"Neji didn't deflect one of my weapons and-"

Sakura didn't wait for her to finish she and Ten Ten ran off in the direction of the hospital.

I wondered if I should go check on Neji but I figured Sakura could bandage him up.

I hadn't been in the leaf village long only about a month and a half.

This was my first mission since I had returned.

For the rest of the day all I could think about was Sakura.

Her cute short pink hair, bright green eyes, perfect figure, and how she could kick Narutos butt.

I got home and started to pack.

I packed my bag and set it by the door.

I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling.

Finally sleep took over.

The next morning

I opened my eyes and looked at the clock.

It read 6:50 I needed to be at the gates by 7:00

I jumped out of bed and got dressed as fast as I could I ran down the hall to the kitchen and grabbed a tomato.

I sprinted to the gates and was surprisingly not the last one there.

Naruto was leaning against the wall still half asleep.

I started to get worried Sakura should have been here by now.

I punched Naruto in the arm.

"RAMEN DON'T GO!"

Everyone around us stared.

"Hey dobe where's Sakura?"

"Ha ha she's probably still doing her hair."

Just then there was a poof of smoke and Sakura and kakashi were next to us.

"What was that last comment Naruto?"

Naruto started to run but Sakura was to fast.

In the next second she was on his back and his arms were pinned down.

"Sorry Sakura"

"You better be"

I looked over at Kakashi who was leaning against the wall.

"Uh Kakashi why are you here?"

"Just saying good luck"

I didn't believe him.

I didn't miss the look he and Sakura exchanged almost as if they had just had a Silent conversation.

Kakashi waved to us before walking off.

"Sakura what was that look you and Kakashi exchanged?"

Sakura shrugged her shoulders as if she had no idea.

Just then a Kunai flew by I jumped on top of Sakura and we rolled to the side just in time to see a whole fleet land where we just were.

Naruto was in a tree grabbing his own weapons to throw back.

"Thanks Sasuke"

Sakura quickly stood up and pulled me up.

She ran to where Naruto was to check on him.

That made me kind of mad just because Naruto didn't like her didn't mean she didn't like him.

Suddenly we were surrounded by at least ninja.

"Naruto I have a plan!"

Naruto grabbed my arm and pulled me into a tree.

"What are you doing we got to help Sakura!"

Naruto didn't release his grip on me.

Sakura pulled on some gloves I had never seen before.

She punched the ground and it was like a massive earthquake rocks and trees were jumping all around.

If Naruto hadn't been holding onto my arm I probably would have fallen out of the tree.

19 of the ninja disappeared into smoke which meant they had been shadow clones.

Sakura tackled the ninja it turned into smoke which meant…

A ninja stabbed Sakura in her shoulder.

She kicked him in stomach and he crashed into a tree.

I jumped down from the tree and ran to where she was.

I tried to help her stop the bleeding but she only pushed me off.

Her hand was suddenly surrounded in green chakra.

She placed her hand on her wound and it started to fade.

"Wow Sakura you've really been training since I was gone."

She stood up dusted herself off and started walking like nothing had happened.

I was still in shock at how strong she had become since I had been gone.

I had a lot of catching up to do.
