I'm so sorry about the short chapters. I have volleyball everyday. Actually I'm at a game right now! So I'll try to finish my chapters as fast as I can. Thanks for reading. And now chapter 7.
Naruto slurped up the last of his ramen. "Sakura. I'm so glad that you're ok. I don't know what I would have done if you didn't come back." He started to tear up.
"Don't worry Naruto. I'm fine really. Inner took over and I don't really remember any of it."
"Inner?"
'Shit'
"Nice going nitwit now what are you going to do."
"Um yeah. It's like a voice in my head that can take over my body. Wow that sounded crazy." She pushed away her empty bowl of ramen and slammed her head on the table.
"Sa-Sakura." She picked her head up."I don't think that it sounds crazy. Heck I can visit and talk to the nine tails all the time. And since I'm guessing that inner is- ahh" 'oh crap I forgot Sakura doesn't know that she's a jinchuriki.'
"Inner is what Naruto?!" Her voice got louder.
"Ah- ah. Ummm. Never mind." Sakura glared at him. "Um I want another bowl." Sakura tackled him to the ground "Naruto! Tell me right now or so help me god I will punch you so hard that you end up at the earth's core!" Her hand glowed a dark black. Naruto swallowed. "Since- since inner in a demon?" He looked into her eyes, still filled with anger and now confusion. "Sakura you're a jinchuriki. Like me." Sakuras body went limp. Her fist relaxed and she rolled off of him.
"I'm- I'm a. Jinchuuriki." But that mean that." She gasped. "The akatsuki. They will. There gonna. Come after me. She fell over so that she was on her hands and knees with her long pink hair touching the cold earth beneath her. "Don't worry Sakura. You're with me. And I can teach you how to control your demon."
Sakura just sat there frozen.
'Inner. Inner is this true?'
"Umm. Yeah." sakura heard a sigh. "I just didn't want to make you upset. I'm nothing like the tailed beasts. I'm not a demon. In a spirit. I am Igaku Neko. The master of all medical jutsu. I was sealed in your body when your mother died. I swore to protect you with my life because- well because. your mother was my previous host."
Sakura sat there on the ground eyes opened as far as physically possible and her mouth gaped open. "I-I-I d-don't know w-what to say." She sat up and looked at the sky. Her mother and father were killed in the attack from the nine tails 16 years ago. She was only a few months old when it happened. "They sealed a spirit inside of me! When I was just a child! Sakura started to cry. "WAIT!" Naruto jumped back. "Didn't you tell me that your parents did the same?" He relaxed.
"Ya," he looked up at the clouds. "They did, but I don't blame them. It's ok with me." Sakura looked at him in confusion. "I know that they did it to protect me. And for that, I'm grateful." He turned to see a tear fall from her eye. She sniffled. "Naruto, I want you to train me." A big smile appeared on his face. "Teach me how to control the spirit within me."

"NARUTO!" There was a crash and the sound of breaking glass. Neji looked up to see Naruto flying out the window on the Hokage's office. "Such a fool." he scoffed as he walked into the tower.
"Lady Tsunade!" she turned from the window to see Sakura glaring daggers into her. Damn that Naruto. Now i'm the one who's going to be thrown out the window. But instead of lashing out in anger she dropped to the floor, crying. "Why She sobbed and looked up at her master. "WHY DID YOU KEEP THIS FROM ME!" Sakura got a hold of herself stopped crying then stood up before the reigning Hokage. "I want to request a mission." Tsunade sat down in her chair with one eyebrow raised. Before she could ask what it was Sakura spoke again. "I wish to go to the Land of Lightning and learn to control my spirit with Naruto and master B." Her face was straight. No smile, no emotion. Tsunade was shocked that this was the Sakura she knew. "Very well. I will send a request to the Raikage, but for now I want you to stay with me in the Hokage mansion. I want to spend some time with you before you go." she smiled. SAkura returned with an even bigger one and a hug. "Thank you so much M'lady!" With that Sakura disappeared in a swirl of cherry blossoms. There she is, That's my Sakura.

2 weeks later:
After receiving a response from the Raikage, Tsunade sent Sakura and Naruto to the Cloud Village. Once they arrived they got on a ship that took them to a small island.(The same one that naruto was sent to during the war.) When the boat reached the shore B was waiting for them. "Yo, yo, yo Naruto. It's good to see ya."
Naruto ran up to him. "Hey Octopops how's it hanging." They both bumped fists. Then B moved to Sakura and extended his hand. But instead of the hand being in a fists it was flat and facing her. Sakura lifted her own hand to his then in an instant their fingers locked down on each other and they grinned.
Good, Octopops likes her. Naruto thought.
Sakura walked on the water towards the little island before the waterfall. "Remember Sakura, you must beat yourself in a, special way." Naruto said as a smirk formed across his face. she sighed. "I guess that means we have the same strength, jutsu, and fighting style." Naruto's mouth dropped open. "hmmmm, I think I know what to do." with that she sat on the grass and concentrated.
Sakuras eyes opened. She saw no one. Not Naruto. Not master B. NOt even herself. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Oh no," a voice said.
She whirled around to face the waterfall.
"You did just fine for the weakling that you are." A figure emerged from the waterfall. It a herself. But different. She had on slutty black booty shorts and a leather bra type shirt. Also her eyes were black on the outside and her pupils were red. Now I know how weird this must have been for Naruto. She thought. Sakura turned around and giggled. "What are you laughing about weakling." SHe turned to face herself.
"You know, the last person to call me a weakling was my old sensei. And you know what. Every time he said it it made me want to get stronger, and I did."
"You're still a weakling and you always will be."
"Im not." Sakura smiled as she tilted her head to the side like she used to do as a kid.
"Then why are you acting like a child?"
"Because. I may have a bubbly personality but that doesn't mean that i'm weak."
"I know you, I am you. Actually i'm the better you. And as soon as I take control of your body I will destroy everyone in the village for treating me like a weakling!"
"You're not a weakling" she said calmly with a smile on her face. "You're me"
"NO! You are the one that is weak. I'M not you!"
"Yes you are."
Her opposite self started to cry. "NO! I will make the village pay!" She ran at sakura with a fist full of chakra. but before it could hit her she pull herself into a hug. "You are me, and there is no need to punish the village. Everyone who called me weak just made me stronger by doing so.
"The-They did do that didn't they." She laughed. "Now I can rest in peace." Before Sakura knew it the other part of her vanished.
She stood up from her spot at the waterfall. Naruto and B looked up at sakura. "Ok what's next?" Sakura smiled
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tsunade heard an explosion towards the east side of the village. She stood up and rushed out of her office going in the direction of the explosion.
"Where is she!" The black haired man grabbed Neji by his long hair.
"I'll never tell you!" He spat back.
"Oh well he went to trust his kunai into his neck but pushed the man forwards and jumped backwards instead, dodging a glowing fist.
"Ah look at this. The Hokage herself came to see me." He smirked. "You must know where she is. She is your student after all."
Sakura! Why are they after her? I thought that they were after Naruto.
"What do you want with my apprentice?" She got into a fighting stance.
What do they want with her? It can't be the Igaku Neko. It's not even a tailed beast. It's a healing spirit. What would the Akatsuki want with it?
Itachis sharingan glared into Tsunade's brown eyes. With one move of a finger he was searching through her thoughts. "Ahh so that's where she is. The Cloud Village with the Nine Tails." He started laughing as he and Kisame disappeared into thin air. No, Tsunade thought. How could I be so foolish. Looking into his eyes! Naruto. Its up to you to protect her.
And that's it Chapter 7! I'm sorry that the part where Sakura faced herself was boring and a lot like Naruto's but I didn't have a lot of Ideas for that part. Please let me know what you think!
