Chapter 7 Suna

Lost in her thoughts Sakura came up with a idea, only to literally run into Neji who quickly caught her before she coud cause damage. "Thank you she said and stood straight. "Youre welcome Sakura Chan." he replied. "Neji I need your help." She said. "What kind?" She sighed, "Im moving. So I need help." she said. "Where to?" he asked curiously. "Suna." was all she said with a stoic face. "Damn that face did she learn it from that Uchiha?" He thought. "I'll help you" he said. "Good because im leaving tonight when its dark, meet me at the gate." she said then vanished to her small apartment thinking as she packed. Her hand fluttered down to her stomach she felt the kicks and chuckled. Almost 3 months passed since Akatsuki dropped her off, each night a memeber checking on her as she slept. Checking on her food supply and everything. This time no one was coming to check on her tonight. When time came Sakura was waiting then Neji showed up on time and they set off for Suna. They went in silence. Sakura hid from the blazing sun under her Akatsuki cloak. She wore it around, as a proud member. After 3 days they finally made it to Suna in middle of the night. She turned to Neji and thanked him before heading off her own way. She was heading toward the vacant house that Sasori lived in over 20 years ago. No one went towards the house, when she stepped in it she found three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a nice sized kitchen, livingroom, pantry, a locked storageroom, attic, and basement. The hardwood floors felt good under her bare feet but shivered some from the cold. Who knew it was cold in the desert at night.

"Neji, I need you to do something for me." She asked quietly before heading into the village of sand. "Anything." he stated. "You must put this jutsu on my old apartment, and tell no one that I moved from Konoha village." she said firmly. He nodded in return. Neji was already half to the village with the scroll hidden on him. From atop the sand village enterance Gaara stood, watching the Akatsuki femle head to the abandon house as the Leaf ninja headed back home. Once he knew the female was fast asleep he entered her house, placing the new food in the refrigerator. After seeing everything the girl needed was in the house he left.

It was a spring morning when the Hokage sent Naruto to look for Sakura, Tsunade needed her for a mission, a mission she'd be watched on. "Naruto, you baka listen to me. You must go get Sakura, and bring her here you're going on a mission." She said. Sakura's name was acid around the village. A name no one liked to say. Naruto could only nod, trying his best to hide his excitement and went to the pink haired kunoichi's home. Naruto knocked a few times. No answer, so he went around to her windows, he looked in, no one was home. Naruto noticed something might be wrong so he headed back. He saw Neji head towards Sakura's aprtment. The genjutsu she gave him had to be reapplied every so often, today was the day he had to reapply it. "She's not home, if you're looking for her." the blond said, Neji only nodded and continued. Once he knew Naruto was gone and no one was in sight he performed the jutsu then left silently as if nothing happened. "Baachan!" Naruto screetched, the older blond covered her ears. "What?! and stop calling me that!" she screamed. "Sakura isn't there!" he yelled. "What do you mean she's not there?" she questioned him. "She's not." he said back, his excitement now gone. "Well, we'll look for her later, rigt now I need you and Neji to go on a mission to Suna. The Kazekage needs you to take some papers to him as well as bring some back to me. I'd send Hatake, Kakashi to do this but he's out on his own mission." Tsunade said with a slight sigh. "You're to leave as soon as you recive him." she said and sent him on his way. Neji, was where Naruto thought he'd be; the river side. They nodded then headed off. Tsunada sai to keep the papers in Nehi's hands, she didn't trust Naruto with them. Neji opened up the envilope that held the papers inside. He took them out as they stopped, Naruto went to eat some of his ramen Hinata had made for him. Neji tried to hold his shock when he saw who's papers they belonged to. No other than Hunaro, Sakura. He quickly put the papers back and closed them up, making it seem as if it was never opened.
