I spent my entire Saturday either by Tsunada's side, as I normally did, or at the hospital healing people. Of course this was my usual Saturday, so it was not an issue. Of course Tsunada probably wanted this as a way to keep an eye on me as well. I suppose it works out for everyone.

As a result, Tsunada cleared me on Sunday. I was then able to go back into the fighting field on Monday, but this time I was placed in a group that actually talked, and were filled with my friends. I definitely won't be having any problem with this. Kakashi was the leader of the group. So I had nothing really to worry about. If I did have a problem, he of all people would understand. It wasn't until the next Friday that a problem surfaced.

We were fighting the seven swordsman, when out of no where this guy shows up.

He immediately looks around, almost as if he smelt something gross. His eyes landed on me, and a smile grew on his features, a wicked smile. Next thing I know I'm being pressed up against a tree with his hand choking me.

"Sakura!" Lee called, giving Kakashi the message that I was in some sort of trouble.

"I thought I got rid of you." The man said. That's when I knew just who this guy was. "No matter I will just kill you now."

"Do you really think you can?" I told him. "As you said before, you tried to get rid of me, but you obviously failed."

"You surely aren't Karhara. You have more spunk running through your veins." The man said slightly confused.

"No, I'm not. You killed her." Rage started coming over me. In the corner of my eyes I saw Kakashi trying to make his way toward me, to help me.

"Oh yes, that right. Then, who are you?" He asked hold a yet tighter grip on my neck.

"Try her daughter, you bastard." Hearing this he let go.

"We shall have a fight then."

"What?" I asked trying to recover.

"I want to see just how powerful Karhara's daughter is. Come on."

"What's the rush?"

"I tend to have other affairs."

"Like what?"

"I didn't come here to be interigated by the one I will kill."

"Who said you will kill me?" I asked using my first attempt to hit him as a sign saying the battle shall begin.

He pushed me off. "I, the third Kazekage, did."

"Did he just say the third Kazekage?" Tenten asked to Lee.

"Yes I believe he did." Lee replied.

"I don't think she can take him."

"There is a lot we don't know about Sakura."

"What do you mean?"

"We don't know how she managed to survive her previous fight on her own or how she managed to recover."

"Easily, she is strong."

"We also don't know what her relations are with him."

"What do you mean?" Tenten asked again.

"He obviously only wants to fight her. He went straighter for her, like he knew just who she was. Questions is: why?"

"I still don't think she can take him. She might be strong but not that strong."

"Have some faith, as far as we know she beat him before."

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, he had to die from something."

"Good point." Tenten stated, accepting that.

Me and the third Kazekage kept battling back and forth. I would land a few good hits and he would too. A person watching the fight would call it a tie, but I knew he was holding back and so was I.

"I know what you want." I stated.

"To see you died? To see no more of your kind?"

"No."

"Then what? Since you know me so well."

"You want to be killed by me."

"Not a chance."

"My mother didn't fight back when you killed her, yet she still killed you."

"She didn't kill me."

"Yes she did. She blew a poison into your system as soon as you were close enough, which happened to be the time when you stabbed her."

"That means nothing of what I want."

"You knew I was still alive. She was obviously protecting something."

"I swore you were died."

"Then why are you here?"

"Because you are here."

"Which means you knew. My mother didn't put up a fight. Neither did the others from my kind."

"That much is true."

"So you want me, the last of my clan to give you a fair fight. To show you just how much we can take."

"Yes, I do."

"Then let me beat you fair and square." I eyes changed, I felt it. Power rushed through me. I charged at him with such intensity. Over and over again.

"Yes, yes. This is the power of the Canobu clan! Show me more!"

I kept charging at him, each time landing blows perfectly. I kept pushing him back farther and farther. The power I was wielding never faded. I've never felt so powerful. This would have been so helpful about a week ago. I was causing him stress, I could see it behind his smile. He was most definitely was going to lose, and soon.

I pushed him down to the ground. When I said down, I mean down.

"So much for those affairs." I told him.

"This was a fair fight." He said and turned to ash.

I didn't know if I was disappointed or happy that I just beat a very powerful man, the man who killed everyone of my family.

Kakashi ran to me, everyone else was done fighting as well. "You alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine." I said strongly, but also in that way no one ever believes. I walked passed him, I didn't want to talk about it.

Lee said my name as I walked passed him back to camp. "Sakura?"

I had anger and sadness in my eyes. I was completely positive that this was going to come up later, but I just couldn't handle it now.

"She fought who?" Naruto exclaimed. "How? Why?"

"I don't have an answer to that. For some reason Sakura had some connecting with the third Kazekage." Tsunada told Naruto. "Be sure that once Gaara gets done with his fight he comes back and tells us all he knows." Tsunada told one of the messengers.

"Yes ma'am." The messenger said before she left.

"How?" Naruto chimed again.

"I don't know. I'm having Kakashi find out all he can from Sakura."

"I think I should help."

"We went over this Naruto, you-"

"It is matters like this that I should be there with Sakura. I can help her get through this."

"We can't put you in."

"Then take Sakura out!"

Silence.

"She is obviously having too much trouble with this war. She just shouldn't be in it."

"She is a fine shinobi. She can handle herself. I think she just proofed that."

"I can't help but worry about her." Naruto said sadly. "I don't want to see her get hurt."

"I don't think anyone does."

"Then why do you have her fight, if she is as important as a medic?"

"Because it is out there that she is needed most."

"I'm needed out there too. To protect her."

"She can handle herself."

"I wish you would just think about Sakura for a change."

"I am thinking about Sakura."

"Then you would understand that she needs a close friend out there."

"She has Kakashi."

"Kakashi isn't counting, for he is our sensei."

Tsunada sighed.

"She isn't going to tell him much."

"And what makes you think she will tell you more?"

"She knew me and I've known her longer."

"Yeah, well you also haven't been around much lately have you."

"That not my fault, you had me on the mission that took forever."

"My point is that you don't see her full potential as much as I do."

"Of course I do!"

"I've seen her train; I've taught her everything I know. Do you know what I know?"

"No." Naruto stated sadly, her certainly was losing this battle.

"Then you don't know what we know. Sakura understands why you aren't going to go into the war under any circumstance. It is about time you accepts it yourself. Your dismissed, Naruto."

"Yes ma'am." Naruto said storming out of her office. "And this why I call you Grandma all the time." He stated to himself once the door was closed.
