Chapter 4: Sakura's Idea

She kneeled on one knee and thought hard of how to save Gaara and Konoha. She looked around at all the injured Ninja's when Temari landed beside her. Sakura stared at her disappointed.

"I told you to take him back to Konoha!" She said, almost like a scream.

"Look he stopped then I turned round and all that was left was a pile of sand." Temari said a little scared. "Where is he anyway?"

Sakura pointed to the large monster hovering over all the shadowed trees. Temari's eyes expressed the way she felt; I can't believe this. Sakura suddenly had an idea, but it would have to cost a terrible price. She bit her lip nervously and turned to Temari. She quickly explained the plan and Temari nearly began to cry. There was only one way to do this. Use 'it'. Since Sakura had been training and being with Gaara non-stop, Sakura had picked up something. It was something she now possessed. A certain type of Chakra. It was a fiery red Chakra that had the power to destroy an entire city. Being on a team with Naruto and having Gaara she developed their powers and oddly they came into her own hands. Tsunade knew of this and tried her hardest to stop it from coming out. Sakura only used 'it' in extreme measures and to her point of view; it was needed now more than ever.

The large monster was now standing in a wide open are hunting for something to kill. Sakura bowed her head and slowly approached the beast. Temari reached her hand out to stop her but she knew this was the only way. Sakura stood out in the back of the bushes ready to put an end to this. In order to put this back, she needed to punch Gaara awake, considering he wasn't sleeping long. So she gently climbed through the bushes and stepped into the opened are.

"Heh, what have we here?" The beast screamed. Sakura took one more step forward and raised her hands to her hips and closed her eyes. Chakra flowed through her body faster than ever and more powerful than ever. Red Chakra flowed into her hands like her body couldn't contain it any longer. The Chakra began to snake its way around her entire body until she was like Naruto in his demon form. With Sakura's incredible strength combined with the power and chakra she now had she was invincible. The monster still had Gaara swollen up but every few minutes, Gaara would sink deeper into the monster and would be eaten and never to come back. Sakura yelled and jumped up, higher than any ninja had been and used the trees as obstacles to fight her way up. As soon as she got to the neck area she jumped extra further and landed on the head. Since Sakura's element when she had this power was fire, the chakra burned through the monsters skin and ripped a hole in its head. The monster gave out a large squeal that mad everyone cover their ears in horror. A few metres up Gaara lay sleeping. 'I can't get him out yet' she thought. She had to defeat the monster then she had to punch Gaara. So she jumped and done a backwards flip down to the ground. At the height she was at, surely she was going to die but knowing Sakura, she always thought one step ahead. Considering she had Temari she was fine. Temari stood resting on her fan in the empty space. Instantly she lifted it up and blew Sakura straight into the monsters stomach area. Sakura roared and punch a hole through the monsters stomach. Sand particles and lumps flew throughout the wood area and caused some ninja's to become seriously injured. The sand was thick and hard which cause more pain and was harder to defeat. Sakura fell to the ground, gasping for breathe. This Chakra was hard to control, considering she had only used it once, when she nearly killed Tsunade. The monster began to squirm and squeal and roar all types of insults, but that wasn't going to stop Sakura. Her job was not done yet for she still had to awake Gaara. Sakura, having lost her breathe and most of her balance stood up shakily looking into the air at the frustrated monster. Temari approached her helping her stand.

"Sakura, you can't do anymore in your condition. If you do you'll kill yourself!" Temari yelled. Sakura turned her head fiercely and hardened her eyes at Temari.

"Temari, I don't care" She said then impossibly jumped high again, only this time she decided to use the monster to give her more of an advantage. Every touch she made burned the monster and made his skin cripple. She raced up using her incredible chakra to keep her balanced. The hole she had made had swelled up again, back to normal. She bit her lip angrily and speeded up. Her speed was incredible! She reached the top of the monster and leap up into the air holding a fist ready to punch him awake. She couldn't believe she was about to do this. Her chakra suddenly disappeared quickly and painfully and right before she was a metre before Gaara face she whispered, "Im sorry" and with that Gaara awoke with blood covering his mouth and managed to splash onto Sakura. Sakura closed her eyes and fell through the air.

"No! I finally got out!" With that the monster sank into the ground leaving Gaara lying on the ground. Temari saw Sakura falling and immediately took out her fan and twirled it a little just so Sakura could land softly. She put her fan out and Sakura landed heavily on it. Temari lifted Sakura who gasped and moaned as Temari placed her beside Gaara. Gaara lay with his eyes flickering and Sakura oddly had blood streaming out of every chakra hole in her body. At this rate, she'd be dead in 10 minutes.
