Disclaimer:

I do not own Naruto, but I KNOW that it is the best anime of all time! Sasusaku has just got have to happen. I'm excited because I heard that Masashi Kishimoto was going to try to add some romance to Naruto and I can't wait!

Apology:

I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a long. The reason for that is that I just got home from vacation and I just started a new school so I'm trying my best to fit in. And also, I promise to update a lot of stuff in my YouTube accounts too. So I hope you guys will forgive me by continuing to read my story and by being very patient with me.

I would like to give special thanks for the people who reviewed my latest chapter:

XEmerald Goddess of The NightX

Mistress Of Dragons

Recap:

"What is it Hinata?!" Tsunade asked, fully aware of what she was doing.

"T-That's not Sakura's body. That's someone else's corpse," Hinata stuttered.

"WHAT!?!?!" Everyone yelled.

Tsunade did some hands signs and touched the body. Then the body turned into a completely different person. It turned into a woman with black hair and no face.

This was great news to them. This meant that Sakura was alive. But they still had a problem…

What really happened to Sakura?


Chapter 4:

One Year Later

It's been a year since they found the false body. Konoha's ninja have been searching endlessly for her. Many of them have given up due to the fact that they hadn't found any hint of Sakura anywhere. After all this time, the whole search seemed like a wild goose chase.

Tsunade was pissed about how almost every single Anbu Black Op has up on looking for her. Even though she was Hokage, she couldn't even force them to keep on since they continued to return empty handed.

Tsunade was drinking more than usually out of depression. After all, Sakura was like a daughter to her. She still couldn't believe that Sakura was gone. Even Team 7 was depressed. They hardly were ever at the village, because they didn't give up.

Sasuke was the one who struggled most. Naruto claimed that he must have at least seen Sakura at the Akatsuki Base, but he couldn't remember seeing her. In fact, he couldn't remember anything that happened since he killed Orochimaru. The only thing he could remember was forming a team and killing Itachi and that was all.

What happened to me?

That was the only question that Sasuke stumbled over while lying on his bed. Why couldn't he remember? Where did he go after killing Itachi? What was he doing in that Akatsuki Base? And most importantly…

What happened to Sakura?

When their search had started, he's been worried sick about Sakura, which surprised him. Years ago, before he left the village, Sakura had just been a teammate and a nuisance. She was some weak little girl that had a silly crush on him. Why should he be worried about her? It's not like he had any feeling for her. Or did he?

Whenever he thought about Sakura? He felt as if she had done something just for him, something that made him feel free.

Guilt panged in his chest, as well as loneliness. He smirked at himself and sat up. Who knew that the pink haired kunoichi could make him feel this way? Sasuke knew that there was only one way to get rid of this pain and finally gain some relief. He looked out the window and thought of one thing.

I have to find her no matter what.

It was unexpected, but finding his teammate was the only way to make things better. And when he finds her, then maybe she can be able to actually explain this feeling that has corrupted our chicken haired emo boy. (A/N: just kidding)


Darkness.

Hate.

Anger.

Isolation.

Pain.

This is what Sakura felt. She was alone in her blood cover bedroom that felt more like a cage. She stayed in there when she didn't have any orders to fulfill. It was dark and creepy. She spent most of the time by herself, but that was the way she wanted.

She had changed.

Her beautiful, sparkling emerald eyes were now dull and lifeless. Her soft, flowing pink hair was now dyed black and very damp. Scars covered her entire body. Her perfect and glowing smile was long gone.

Sakura was now a killing machine, a tool used when needed. Her purpose was to serve under Madara. Even her emotions had changed. She couldn't find true happiness anywhere. She moved on from her own life and that was that.

Sitting on the floor, Sakura looked up as her door creaked open. Three figures walked in. She would have attacked, but there was no need. The three people that had stood in front of her had been her team and only good thing in this hell hole.

On the left side was Ryo Atsuhiko. He had red spiky hair and black eyes. He was tough and rambunctious. He specialized in fire nature jutsus. He plays it cool but then he gets destructive.

On the right was Kanji Hokuba. He was the level headed one in the group. He specializes in earth nature jutsu, analysis, and tracking methods.

The one standing in the center was Rose Tenshi. She specialized in ice nature jutsu and was sometimes called the 'Ice Princess.' She was the only person she could talk to here. She had a huge temper and shouldn't be messed with. Sakura befriended her because she was the only other girl and for the fact that she was kind to the few people she liked. (A/N: Hey Chey! *hint* *hint)

"Sakura, c'mon. Madara has a new mission for us," Rose said.

Sakura nodded and followed ten out of her room. It didn't matter what she was forced to do. As long as she could forget him, she is all for it.


I hoped you liked it!

I know that it's short, but I'm kind of busy with a bunch of other uploads on YouTube.

Don't just sit there!
