Chapter 3: Mysterious Savior

IT HAD BEEN A LONG TRIP and Sakura was extremely exhausted. The trip to Suna was good. They discussed that they should put a mental/disability hospital in each village and of course that she would own specifically since she was the head of it all. While there, she made various remedies and got herbs that she needed that could only be found in Suna. She also gave a hand in the Suna hospital and gave other nurses strategy and tips on how to deal with various types of patients.

All three villages agreed to help with the project and put money in. Each village has different strengths and weaknesses people wise and sakura would have to figure out how to mend each one accordingly to that type of village. But she had a lot of time until then and was glad it was requested that she stayed and save her strength since she was tired and out of chakra from making remedies among other things.

Yes it drained her and was risky for her to go out in such conditions, but she really wanted to go home, in the comforts of her bed, in a familiar habitat.

So she declined.

Gaara was reluctant to let her go and was even going to send Suna Anbu to escort her back. She was thankful for his kindness and concern but declined that as well. "I'm a big girl Gaara, I'll be alright. Besides, your looking at a kunoichi that killed Sasori and kicks major ass, have faith in me now" was what she told him. Man was she regretting that a bit.

She settled down in a little clearing by a river. "Think I'll take a short nap for now" She said to herself and snuggled in her sleeping bag by the fire she had just made. It was gonna be dark soon and she willed herself go to bed.

It wasn't until sometime later that she heard rustling in the bushes and her eyes immediately snapped open in alert. She had started resting around sunset. It was dark now, but seeing as her body screamed at her to go back to sleep and her chakra replenished only a little she could tell it was a short time after she decided to lay down. 'Maybe an hour or so' she concluded to herself and grabbed her kunai but not attempting to get up yet. She heard more rustling and saw shadows jumping around in the bushes. All at once they jumped into the air and descended above her.

'An ambush? really? Amateurs' she frowned and swiftly did a back flip out of the way.

"For kami's sake! can't a girl rest in peace?" She hissed at them.

"Your the best medical ninja around, come with us and we wont have to use force" One of them said. They didn't have on their headbands so she couldn't tell which village they were from.

"Oh yeah?" She crossed her arms and her long hair blew in the wind. "I am. But am I gonna come with you? No, but nice try. There are other medical ninja's around, go pester them. I cant be of much help right now anyway"

She really shouldn't have said that, she realized. She basically just told them she was vulnerable.

They looked at one another and like some unspoken communication preformed the shadow cloned jutsu. Suddenly there was 100 of them in the least. Either these guys were desperate or really wanted to look for trouble. Sakura sent chakra to her fist.

"CHAA!" and punched the ground, wiping out majority of their clones.

"You forget that I'm one of the legendary sanin's student. Don't underestimate me" She seethed then sent chakra to her feet and ran towards the lot of them. She punched, kicked, uppercutted, blocked and dodged through a few of them when she started feeling dizzy.

Seeing her weakened state as a chance to strike, one of them took it as a chance to grab the leg she kicked toward him and used brute force to throw her into a tree. She let out a strangled cry as her back hit the tree and fell to ground on all fours. The collision just made her dizziness worse and she knew that most of it was because of her chakra being nearly depleted. Internally she sent the last remaining chakra was able to without being in the absolute risk of dying to heal herself.

"Not so much as tough as you say you are now huh?" One of them said and headed toward her as black spots danced in her eyes.

She was so much stronger than this and she -as well as them- most likely knew. She was fatigued and nearly out of chakra, it was stupid and a risk to leave Suna in the first place in this condition but she underestimated the circumstances.

'Who could want to try and attack me?' She thought.

'There'd be no reason for someone to target me' She thought.

Damn was she never doing this again.

"Dammit" She muttered and tried to get up only to fall back down. Her hair slid in front of her face and the man kept walking towards her. She was gonna faint soon, she had to do something but her consciousness was waning fast and the she last thing she saw was a fast figure appear in front of her protectively and knocked the man out before everything else went black...
