chapter 3

one month has been since sakura addmitted to being sakura jurosaki.


on a high cliff outside the village sakura sat on a tree branch looking over at the veiw of the leaf village. she rested her back on the trunk of the tree and let her legs rest on the branch- one leg over the other. she had her hands behind her back. she wore a lilac strapped dress that complimented her waist while the skirt of the dress hanged loosly flowing with the wind. her hair was let loose so it was also flowing. the wind was moving to the direction of the leaf village.

...meanwhile in the leaf village...

"sakura! sakura!" called naruto wondering the streets of his village. "hey shikamaru, have you seen sakura!"

"why lady tsunade asked you to look for her too?" said shikamaru walking up to naruto.

"yep! she said it'll be quicker if i look for her too" said naruto

'yea right. you probely begged the day lights out of her to go looking for sakura.' thought shikamaru. "i've checked all the training grounds, the parks, her house, the library, the graveyard and any were else i've ever seen her. were have you checked?"

"oh i've checked ichiraku's because she loves that place and all the other resteraunts in the village." said naruto a bit cheery

'i think you like ichiraku's more than her' thought shikamaru "ok the only place we havn't checked is the forest." said shikamaru

"oh yea she loves the forest. her and the girls are always training there." said naruto

"hmh" said shikamaru lazily walking over to the forest

...

"sakura! sakura! there you are!" said naruto as he ran upto sakura who didn't bother to move or look in his direction instead she kept looking over her shoulder at the village. 'wow sakura looks really pritty with the wind floww through her hair' tought naruto. "hello sakura! man its just like trying to talk to sasuke all over again" said naruto who sat on the other branch infront of sakura. this made sakura look at him but she didn't show any emotion.

"lady tsunade wants to see you" said shikamaru sitting near her feet looking at the senery on the village.

"ok" she mumbled as she started to look back at the village.

"erm...guys...we going or not? what are you looking at" said naruto as he faced the same direstion as the others "wow! its beautiful!"

"do you always look at the scenery?" questioned shikamaru getting up

"most of the times. i love looking at scenerys... there beautiful." said sakura getting up with the help of shikamaru

"hmh. we getting up now?" asked naruto idioticly. instantly he gabbed sakura's hand and dragged her into the village running to the hokages office. "come on sakura. ganny tsunade's waiting for you.

...

naruto entered lady tsunade's office by flinging the door open, dragging sakura behind him and shikamaru walking behind.

the office was filled with ten ten, neji, lee, hinata, kiba, shino, choji, ino,temari, sai, kurrani sensi, guy sensi and kakshi sensi.

"well you two sure took your time in getting her" said kakashi sensi

"sakura. you've showed us your true identity for a month now, right?" said lady tsunade. sakura nodded "well its time we tell you what we know and you tell us anything we've missed out." sakura nodded again and said 'ok'

"ok take a seat at the front here." said tsunade. sakura did so. "guys whatever you think you know about sakura. feel free to say now."

"the only emotion you show is happyness and amusment. the rest of the time you're emotionless" said naruto who was now looking serious.

"your from the jurosaki clan" stated kiba to which everyone rolled their eyes except sakura who gave a small smile. this made kiba blush slightly- not really noticable.

"your an excelent opponent" said neji. that got a nod from sakura

"you've got wind and lightning stlye abilities and you use your sword to attack one with those ablities" said hinata with a smile to sakura and she smiled back. everyone else looked at hinata with amazment that she didn't stutter and that made her red as a tomatoe.

"you've got great sense in style" said temari and ten ten agreed

"you like nature" said shiro-darkly

"you train a lot!" said sai

"you're still very youthfull and even more georgous" said lee. this made sakura go back to emotionless. lee sweat dropped when he saw this.

"you're still a good medic" said kurani sensi

"you're a lot stronger than i thought you out to be" said kakashi sensi.

"your an excelent cook!" yelled naruto, choji, ino and sai at the same time

"your a lot nicer to me" said naruto scratching the back off his head

"the jurosaki clan abilities are to read someones mind with one touch and to show people their memories." said temari

"wow. someones been doing their homework" said sakura sarcasticly

"i try" said temari with a shrug

"you're a great actress" said shikamaru" and your oppinion on us is different to sakura haruno's"

"yea it is" replied sakura

"what's that mean to mean?" questioned lady tsunade

"you see, as you know sakura haruno did exist and when i took her place i had to be exactly like her and that means oppinion wise aswell."

"i see. so whats your oppinion on us?"said tsunade

"all of us!" said everyone else

"do you really whant to know?" sakura raised her eyebrows

everyone nodded and tsunade said "start with your oppinion of sasuke, then me, then the captains and then your friends"

"sasuke is...naive"said sakura not bothering to open her eyes.

"ok" said sakura as she got up and walked in front of everyone one by one."i think... lady tsunade, of you as my teacher. kakashi sensi you as my captain. kurrani sensi you as a sensi with great taste. guy sense..." sakura stopped as she saw guy sensi jumping up and down to know "as lee's sensi." he stopped when he realised what she had just said "lee...someone who is...strong and pritty funny. neji, strong and relaxed. ten ten a role model to any female hoping to be a ninja. kiba-" she went dow to stroke akamaru "someone who is great with animals. *kiba blushed* shino, someone who tries to scare the ones he care about away- and that to for their own good. *shino had amazement in his face and you could tell she was telling the truth by this* hinata someone who is too shy to reveal her true power. ino, someone who tries her best at all times and is soo wrong for still calling me big forehead."

"but you do have a big forehead" retorted ino

sakura shook her head "no sakura haruno had a big forehead not me" she put her fringe up and showed ino "see"

"huh. you don't have a big forehead." ino scratched the back of her head sheepishly "my bad. i wont do it again." sakura smirked

"ok, ok now thats over can you tell us what you think of us!" said an impatiant naruto

sakura nodded and said, " i think...choji your someone with a large appitiet and i quiet admire you for that." choji smiled "shikamaru...i think your really smart."

"whatever" said a smirking shikamaru

sakura continued " sai, do you want my honest oppinion" sai nodded. sakura had a serious face. "i think your a emotionless fool *sakura smirked when she saw sai go pale* thats a lot stronger and smarter than he puts himself out to be. naruto *naruto looked worried* i think you're really funny.

"all right sakura doesn't hate me but she thinks i'm funny!" yelled naruto. everyone laughed

"last but not least, temari- your strong and stylish" temari smiled and hugged sakura. sakura hugged her back. then everyone hugged the two including the captains and hokage.

the hug broke after a while with everyone laughing.

"alright back to bissuness. sakura i've been reading yours and numerous jurosaki's files and i want to make sure i understand yours and sasukes connection." everyone went quiet and looked at sakura who was in the middel of them all. sakura went emotionless "tell me if i'm mistaken. the jurosaki and uchia clan are connected from since the making of the leaf village and according to the files i have gone through for every uchia their is a jurosaki...your the jurosaki for sasuke." tsunade waited for sakura to respond. she nodded her head once. "so baisicly you've known were sasuke's been this whole time and you didn't tell us because you were in disgise." sakura nodded again "and not only do you know where he is, you know is state of condition and thought that go through his head."

"alright...so now what?!" said sakura "if you want to know about him i'll tell you"

"alright then speak" said tsunade

sakura narrowed her brows and then lifted them up. with a sigh she started to speak "he's 200 miles eastwest of the dark forest. he's living underground with madara uchia. he's lately had an eye opperation to madara's benifit. oh and he's been brain washed bay madara uchia i can get hold of him but only for breif seconds when madara's around but when he's not around the longest i can contact him is a couple of minutes."

"ok he's been brainwashed! but why did he have to be brainwashed?" said tsunade now sitting at her desk

"after killing orochimaru and making his own group sasuke had a thought of comeing back to the leaf village wich wont help madara at all. this is because madara wants to use sasuke to break down naruto and make him hand over the nine tails."

"ok"said tsunade concentrating hard "why did sasuke have an eye operation and how does this benifit madara?"

"he had it because madara wanted sasuke's sharingan. he is now telling in sasuke that having itachi's eyes will make him more powerfull. when infact it makes him weaker. there is another reason and that is that sasukes sharingan has a limmit and he has used it to the max. the only thing he doesn't realise is that if he takes back his eyes and goes to a ninja medic his eyes will become stronger aswell as he."

"ok. sakura i think we should leave this topic for a while. i have aranged for you and temari to leave the leaf tommorow. you will be going to the sand and you are going to appoligise for the inconvinience and you are going to tell the kizukage your true identity." said tsunade "understood"

"yes" said sakura

"good. you are leaving at noon" said tsunade.

everyone left the office and on one dared to ask sakura about her connection with sasuke.
