Sakura walked side to side in her bedroom. Something wasn't right, something wasn't right at all. Her kidnapping, Kabotu suddenly didn't have her life on his hands and wasn't doing anything about it neither, Madara was training her and Sasuke began to help her with missions and training. All this happen within a month and during that time the dilate of the Konoha attack had happen twice. Something was missing, of that she was sure.
She smacked herself in the head. "Baka!" She hit her head a few other times. Could she be this stupid? She sat down on the bed and began to organise her thought.
First. Kabotu wanted her to keep Sasuke's body well conserved and 100% healthy. For this to work, Kabotu sealed her charka within her heart.
Second. Madara needs Sasuke's eyes to revive his dead little brother, but Sasuke has a grave vision condition. In exchange, he will train Sakura so she is strong enough to cure Sasuke and kill him so Madara can take his eyes.
Third. With this training, Sakura can protect Naruto and the town she loves.
Forth...
Why did Kabotu suddenly disappear? Did he lose interest in Sasuke's body? Did he die? Did he forgot about her? Why doesn't Madara just backstab Sasuke and kill him and extract his eyes? Why does he need her? Why is Sasuke suddenly like he use to be?
Something was missing. Sakura could feel it. Something dark was to happen. She had always felt like this.
"Sakura-chan?" Sui walked in puffing. "We need you, quick."
"What's the situation?" Sakura followed.
"Well Sakura-chan, you see, apparently Sasuke found out your position in the plan and what Madara was dcoing behind his back. He is furious!" Sui hurried into the main room. Dust covered the place, but the familiar sound of Chidori and the lighting was the only thing that highlighted Sasuke's presence. Suddenly Blood spat all over the room and things went silent.
"Sasuke?" Sui called out, stepping forward. The sound of steps coming towards the pink haired girl and the ninja where herd. Both went into defence mode awaiting the worse but all they saw was Sasuke appear trough the dust clouds and then fall to his feet while holding the famous mask of Madara.
Sasuke was badly wounded. It wasn't a trick and it defiantly wasn't some kind of game to proof Sasuke what she was dealing with.
"Sa...Sakura.." Sasuke looked at her. "...I..will...K..Kill you." And those where the last words he spoke before he fainted. Sakura felt chills down her back. She didn't know what to do? Run? Fight him?
A tiny part of her wanted to kill him at once, then another part of her wanted to heal him but most of her just wanted to return home for comfort and protection. Deep down Sakura was still the useless lil frighten girl who would always cause trouble other than help out. Tears began to build and she started to hear steps. Madara appeared soon after covering his face with his hand.
"Finish him. It's your chance now." Madara ordered looking at Sakura. "Then heal me."
"No." Sakura looked at Sasuke.
"What?" The old Uchiha growled. "Oh...you are a quite curious girl, but you ain't as smart as they say." E mocked."You see. Kabotu sold me you for the price of me letting him have Uzumaki Naruto's dead body after we kill him. I need you as a healer since I can't use my charka and waist it on healing. Sasuke, well I was only using him just like I am using you. But he overheard the plans. I wasn't cautious enough to notice him my own mistake. Sasuke began to fight me and he tried...but..he is just too weak. Now, finish him before i finish you both." Madara stoped handing to Sakura, Sasuke's katana.
"...Y..Yes...Madara-sama." Sakura bowed.
"Now this is a good girl. Maybe I will keep you as my personal medic." The Uchiha smiled.
Sakura took the Katana in her hands and prepare to stab Sasuke. As Madara watched attentively his eyes wide and he rushed to it but Sakura and Sasuke were gone within an explosion of smoke.
