Sakura just finished dropping the kids off and was walking down one of Konoha's busy streets when an Anbu appeared before her.
"So, you're the pink-haired bitch Kane has to deal with" the man said. Sakura glared up at him.
"And you must be one of Kane's lap dogs, am I correct?" Sakura hissed. The man's hand shot out and wrapped itself around her neck.
"You think you're so tough because you're the Hokage's apprentice, don't you?" The man asked. Sakura placed her hand on arm. She sent chakra to her hand and easily snapped it. Her eyes darkened in hate and anger. The man's hand released her.
"Touch me again and I'll make you regret it" Sakura hissed.
"What can you do? You're just a weak, little girl" He said. Sakura's hand turned green and she slammed her hand to his chest. His eyes widened before he dropped to the ground. Neither remembered that they were in the middle of the street. Sakura kicked him in head when he dropped to his hands and knees. He fell onto his back, grunting in pain at the damage Sakura did to him internally. Sakura bent over him, staring into his eyes behind his mask.
"You may be an Anbu and I may not be able to hurt Kane but YOU don't have the Mystic Eye. YOU can't take my chakra away like a coward. You will die in less then 30 seconds, due to the damage I've done to your heart and lungs. No one can help you but me and quite frankly, I think the world would be better off without people like you who support people like Kane. Have fun, Anbu-san" Sakura smirked evilly as she stepped on his chest and continued down the street, ignoring the people that were staring at her and the dying Anbu. Itachi smirked from his place in a tree. She didn't need protection.
Sakura entered the house, looking at Riku who was crying in Natsumi's arms. Sakura took him and he stopped crying.
"Riku, you need to stop crying when I'm gone. One day, I won't be here and you need to be strong" Sakura said strictly.
"Sakura, what happened!" Naruto yelled as he pointed at her neck. Sakura touched it.
"It doesn't matter. I took care of him" Sakura said easily.
"Tell us what happened?" Sasuke ordered. Sakura glared at him.
"What are you, my father now?" Sakura asked.
"No, he's dead and your step father is your uncle and psycho" Sasuke stated. It was quiet and Sasuke's eyes widened when he realised what he said.
"Sakura, I-"
"Yes, my fathers dead and my uncle/step father wants to murder our entire family but who the hell are you to remind me of this nightmare I call life?" Sakura asked before standing and storming out of the room. Sasuke sighed and shook his head.
"I have no idea why Sakura-chan had a crush on you when we were younger" Naruto murmured.
"Saku-chan was so close to Sachi" Natsumi told. "When Sachi died, Sakura had cried for days on end and she stayed at his grave. He was killed when a ninja invaded the village. I guess he was hiding from the Anbu when he snuck into our house. Sachi and Sakura were the only ones home and when I came home from my day out with Ino's mother, I found Sachi dead in the lounge and Sakura covered in his blood, curled up by his side and shaking. She had been traumatized" Natsumi murmured.
"That's horrible!" Mikoto gasped. Natsumi nodded.
"It was. But when Kane came along, she knew that he'd be no good for the family and stepped up for me" Natsumi said. "I don't have long to live but none of them know, not even Sakura" Natsumi said. "I know Sakura can look after the kids but not until Kane is gone" Natsumi said.
"Don't worry. We'll help you" Mikoto said. Natsumi smiled at her.
"Thank you"
