Chapter 7: He wants her… Because…

Disclaimer- Don't own Naruto… 


"Tusnade-sama, Sakura has been found at the gates with S-Sasuke Uchiha and is now in the recovery ward." Said a short, frail, geeky looking apprentice nurse.

"Okay…" She said as she got up from her office chair. Sakura had been missing from Konoha for a week and assumed dead… Now seeing she was back created questions and with who she came back with made more questions.

She walked into the Recovery ward to see the cherry blossom hooked up to a drip and her emerald eyes staring out to space. Pulling up a chair next to the bed Sakura looked at the blonde haired woman.

"How'd you get back?" She asked.

"Sasuke." She answered back simply.

"Are you in any pain, Sakura-Chan?"

"No,"

"Did he hurt you?"

Sakura went wide eyed at what her sensei had just said and then looked away. "No of course not, he-he saved me…"

"I see…" She said and sighed. "Sakura?"

She looked back at Tusnade. "Yes?"

"Can I ask you something and I need to get the honest truth about it…"

"Of course," she said back, tucking her cherry blossom hair behind her ear.

"Did you," She eyed her apprentice. "Get up to anything?"

Sakura almost fainted. "OF COURSE NOT!! WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM!?"

Tusnade smirked. "Did you kiss him?"

"Yeah…"

"Was he good?"

Sakura fell over anime style.


He touched the cold bars of the cell and his attention wavered to the door open and a person in a large robe come through the door, he had a long hat on so his face was unseeable.

"You have been judged…" the person boomed. "Your sentence has been decided… You are to die at dawn."

"WHAT?!" Sasuke yelled.

"Nah just kiddin', hey Sasuke!" The hat lifted up to see a very cheeky Naruto grinning at the prisoner.

"Don't kid around like that dobe!" He yelled and tried to take a swipe at him, able to grab his collar.

"Whoa…. Easy there Sasuke!" He yelled as he got away from Sasuke's grip.

"Naruto, don't be a loser all your life, I need to tell you something! Something important about Sakura…" He said, his eyes were serious.

"OH MY GOD! SHE'S PREGANT ISN'T SHE?! You sly little dog yo- OWW!!" Naruto covered his head in pain and sniffed when a lump the size of his head appeared.

"Naruto this is serious!!" He yelled too loudly and numerous guards came in to protect their beloved Hokage from the mad-man in the cell.

"No- No guys don't worry," Naruto pushed them out of the room, "Sasuke just gets a little excited sometimes."

Once everyone was gone Naruto looked back at Sasuke. "Okay," He said. "No more fooling around, obviously there is something wrong, so being the Hokage I must give you my absolute attention and will take action towards the problem."

Sasuke lent against the bars. "It's about Sakura; she-she said someone wants to kill her…"

Naruto's eyes widened, he obviously didn't know about this…

"She told me… That Orochimaru wants to kill her..."

"Wait… Wasn't Orochimaru after you?" He said, struggling to soak in what Sasuke had said.

"Yeah… But know for some reason he wants Sakura… I don't know why…"

Naruto frowned. "I think I know why…" Naruto unlocked the Uchiha's cell and he stepped out. "Come on, were gunna go see her."


He received horrible looks as he walked next to Naruto AKA Hokage. Finally they came to a white hospital and stepped into the bright white building.

Sakura looked up when two people came into her room. "Sasuke-kun," She breathed when she saw his face. Sasuke rushed over to her bedside next to Sakura, and Naruto looked at Tusnade.

"Tusnade-sama… Can I speak to you, in private?" Naruto said to the blonde woman next to Sakura's bed looking at the couple before her.

"Yeah, sure Hokage-sama." Tusnade got up and walked out of the room with Naruto.

"What is it Hokage-sama? What's wrong?" She asked once they were out of hearing range.

Naruto looked at her seriously. "Sasuke said, that Sakura told him that …. Orochimaru wants her dead… And I think I know why…"

Tusnade's eyes widened as it suddenly clicked, "He wants her blood… For the potion she created, Oh Kami! Hokage-sama what are we going to do?!"

He looked at her sternly. "I'm going to get Kakashi to protect her, and I'm putting the village on alert…" He looked over to Sasuke sitting on the bed next to Sakura. "And I'm putting Sasuke on twenty-four hour protection, with Kakashi."

Tusnade nodded and smirked. 'Such a softie, I bet he didn't even want to put Kakashi on with Sasuke.'
