Chapter 4
FLASHBACK
As Sakura took one last glance at the head stone in front of her she let out a sigh and let one last tear fall. She then stood up and started heading back to the hotel room that her, Itachi, and Kisame were staying in for the time being.
END FLASHBACK
In a dimly lit hotel room, two male ninjas were currently sitting around awaiting the arrival of their other teammate and current team leader. When the sound of a door opening and closing reached the other side of the room, the two men looked in the direction of the door only to see their leader walking towards them.
"Sakura-san what took you so long?" A blue man, who resembled a shark, asked towards the pink haired ninja. "I got caught up. By the way someone knows we are here. What did you find out about the tower?" Said girl replied.
"Who knows we are here?" Itachi asked with a raised eyebrow. "The Uzamaki boy, do not worry though, he knows that if he tells anyone I will personally take joy in killing him." Sakura said with no emotion displayed what so ever. Amused by her answer, Itachi simply smirked in her direction.
"How the hell did that brat figure it out?" Kisame inquired. "It is not important. Just know that I told him we are not here to kill anyone so make sure you don't..." Sakura trailed off as she glared at both Kisame and Itachi.
"Now back to business, while Itachi and I were scoping out the tower, we found out that the guards switch every few hours. The first shift starts at 6 a.m. The next guards switch with them at noon then at 6 p.m. and the final shift begins at midnight." Kisame reported. "Also, the Hokage conveniently has a meeting at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning." Itachi added in.
"Good work boys. Well, tomorrow we will initiate the mission." Sakura stated as she walked over to her bed. Following suite, Kisame and Itachi walked over to their beds. Itachi turned out the light before all three ninjas fell into a very light sleep, still half aware of everything else going on.
The next morning close to 6 a.m., Haruno Sakura was crouching on a tree branch. She had the perfect view of the Hokage's office in the Hokage tower and was currently waiting patiently for Itachi and Kisame to return to her.
While waiting, Sakura heard some muffled screams and a few swipes of a sword, which she presumed was Itachi and Kisame making their moves. A few moments later Kisame was walking towards Sakura with Itachi not too far behind. Sakura looked at Kisame and gave him a smirk before she leaped into the air towards the tower.
With perfect aim, Sakura jumped through the window and landed right in the middle of the Hokage's office. She got right down to work by aiding her eyes with chakra. Before she looked for the scroll however, she looked at her arm and wasn't as surprised as before when she saw that her upper arm was now glowing silver.
Sakura then looked around the room, with the added help of the chakra she could see everything, she could see through the cabinets and even the walls when she looked at them if she wanted to. When she turned to a cabinet in the corner, she let a smug smile grace her face as she found what she was looking for.
Sakura walked over to the cabinet, picked the lock, and grabbed the scroll before she turned towards the window. Right as she was about to jump out the window the door barged open. A busty older woman ran through the door and grabbed the other female's arm.
Startled a bit, Sakura quickly looked at her arm and gave the intruder a hard glare for touching her. "I had a feeling that was your chakra I had been sensing lately." The women exclaimed. Out of instinct Sakura secretly placed the scroll in a pocket within her robe.
"Tsk, tsk, Tsunade. You should know better than to touch someone without permission." Sakura said with a sadistic smile as she hurled a chakra filled fist towards the other ninja. Tsunade flew a couple feet away and just stared at Sakura's arm. Once realising what she was staring at, Sakura simply chuckled a bit. "You like? It recently appeared on my arm." Sakura asked as she stared into Tsunade's eyes.
Tsunade averted her eyes away from Sakura's upper arm, when she came across what the younger woman was wearing her eyes immediately widen. "Sakura, why? Why would you ever wear the uniform for Konoha's number one enemy?" She asked.
"Simple, I am now a part of their organization. It is kind of interesting how I work along side of the man Sasuke hates, after all those years that I thought I loved him." Sakura replied.
"Why did you ever leave Konoha? I thought you had everything you wanted. I was training you to become stronger, you were the best medic nin in the town, and everyone absolutely adored you. So why would you leave all that behind? I expected Sasuke to leave but never did I think you would too." Tsunade asked the younger female she once thought of as a daughter.
"Well, if I had stayed here, I would not be nearly as strong as I am now. And all the bonds I created with everyone meant nothing to me. Bonds hold ninjas back from their true potential." Sakura said with out really thinking. "Now if we are done here, I'll be leaving no-" Sakura started but abruptly stopped when she felt a foot collide with her abdomen.
Sakura laughed out laud as she realised Tsunade had put a rather large amount of chakra into that kick. "Is that honestly the best you could do?" Sakura asked as she jumped backwards. As she was landing she performed some simple hand movements while whispering "Kaze no Yaiba." A blade of wind then shot out from Sakura and succeeded in giving Tsunade some brutal gashes, as she could not dodge the blade in time.
Tsunade stood up with green chakra surrounding her, healing some of her wounds. She then started performing hand signals that Sakura was easily able to read: dog, tiger, rat, ram. A ball of chakra suddenly was placed in Tsunade's hand as she ran towards Sakura and delivered a power packed punch to her stomach.
Sakura wiped some of the blood that was dripping from her mouth with one hand and with the other she forced Tsunade away from her. Upon impact, Lady Tsunade slammed into the ground.
Once the Hokage was down, Sakura quickly did another set of hand signals. "Shishi Rendan." She mumbled as she repeatedly punched and kicked Tsunade with extra force due to the jutsu. After seeing that Tsunade was in a fatal condition, she decided to end the little battle with another powerful jutsu.
"Kanashibari no Jutsu." Sakura loudly said. Tsunade's eyes widened as she realised the jutsu Sakura had put on her. Thanks to the jutsu Lady Tsunade instantly lost all sense of movement.
While Tsunade stood there, completely frozen, Sakura quickly leaped through the window. As Sakura was falling out the window she felt an odd tingly sensation. Passing it off as pure adrenaline, she pumped chakra through her legs as Itachi and Kisame appeared on either side of her.
"I'm assuming you got the scroll?" Kisame stated more than asked. After giving him a curt nod, Sakura turned her focus back to running. Sensing that she wanted him to just shut the hell up, Kisame remained quiet the rest of the trip.
When Kisame, Sakura, and Itachi returned. Itachi waited for Sakura to give them their last orders. "I will go take the scroll to Pein as well as give him our mission report." She said as she took off towards his office.
Upon reaching Pein's office Sakura opened the door without warning and stepped up to Pein's desk. Pein gave his little sister a slight glare for coming in without permission. "Is there anything I can do for you Imouto?" He asked as he crossed his arms across his chest while leaning back.
Sakura replied by focusing chakra into her arm. Once it glowed she stated, "Oniichan, I am pretty sure this is not normal." Normally she would not be as worried about the marking but it had expanded to cover her whole right arm.
During the voyage back to the Akatsuki base, Sakura had taken a glance towards her arm to see if her accusations were correct. On her right arm, the marking now reached all the way to her palm. The marking twisted all the way around her arm just like it did on her upper arm. Coming off the main line were smaller thinner stems that had cherry blossoms sprouting from them. The line ended in the center of her palm where it circled around a shape that resembled a gem.
The lines were still black, while the cherry blossoms were a very faint pink color, and the gem was an extremely light green. When chakra was added it all glowed to life. The lines turned bright silver with a hue of purple. The cherry blossoms glowed a radiant lavender color that matched her eyes when chakra was added to them. When they glowed they looked absolutely gorgeous, but the most breath taking part of the marking was the gem, it glowed a brilliant green that matched her normal eyes, it sparkled too.
"Well, as you know I possess the Rin'negan, but if I recall correctly, Kaa-san had a special bloodline trait that can combine with another trait to create an entirely new ability. Your eyes are similar to mine and Kaa-san had similar markings as those so I am assuming that you possess both of our abilities." Pein said as he took a closer look at his little sister's arm.
"What are you talking about with my eyes?" Sakura asked confused, she had not seen her eyes yet so she had no clue what he was talking about. "Foolish little imouto, when you use chakra to make your mark glow you are summoning your special gift. When your mark glows, your eyes turn a light purple with two silver rings." He responded.
In return, Sakura merely looked at her brother with a shocked expression. "Well, tomorrow I will start training you with the help of Itachi." Pein exclaimed. "Why do you need Itachi to train me as well Nii-san?" Sakura asked, not that she didn't want Itachi to help her, she just did not get how Itachi could help. "He possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan. With your ability you should be able to copy other kekkei genkais. So I want him to train you to use the Sharingan, as I will train you to use the Rin'negan." He started. "Now go get some rest it is getting late."
Deciding to take his advice, Sakura went back to her room. However, instead of going to bed right away she decided to look through a few of her books. After finding one she thought would be useful, she pulled it out, sat on her bed, and opened it to a random page. 'Well, that's rather convenient.' Sakura thought as she found exactly what she wanted.
'The Rin'negan is one of three doujutsu's, the other two being the Sharingan and the Byakugan. The legendary Sage of the Six Paths named Rokudou Sennin, the world's first ninja and the founder of the Ninja World originally possessed it. The Rin'negan allows the user to use six types of elemental chakra, an ability no ninja without it can possess. It is a unique eye technique characterized by a number of concentric circles around the pupil, which allows the wielder to utilize any ninja ability.'
'So basically we are like the strongest kunoichi ever! CHYAA!' Sakura's inner exclaimed. 'Well not yet, we do not know how to use the Rin'negan. And I have no clue how we are supposed to learn about Kaa-san's bloodline trait' Sakura replied with a bit of despair. 'Well I've got to get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be one long day.' Sakura thought as she turned out the light and fell into a deep slumber.

Until next time,
