Sakura had let the information sit for a day or two, but now she was on a mission. She grabbed her stuff and made her way towards her parent's house; she had tried calling her mother, but she wasn't answering. She arrived, she took out her key, but the door was unlocked, she slowly pushed the door open and walked inside.

"Mom?" she called as she moved through the house, "Anyone home?".

She made her was towards her father's study, the door was locked but that wasn't really an issue for her. She took some tools out of her pouch and began to pick the lock, she used to this all the time as a kid when he parents would lock her out of certain bedrooms in the house they would stay in. Cool air met her as she opened the door, swiftly walking inside and closing the door behind her. She walked over to the sturdy oak desk in the middle of the room, pushing the chair aside she started to go through the drawers. She grabbed a few files that she though might be of help, she turned to the filing cabinet and found a few scrolls that had been sealed shut so she grabbed those as well and placed them in her bag.

She finished going through the desk and cabinets, she exited the study locking the door behind her, she then turned her attention to her parent's bedroom, but she didn't think he would hide anything in there, but it wouldn't hurt to look. Nothing prepared her for the what she was about to see on the other side of the door; their usually tidy room was a complete mess. The bed was flipped with the sheets and blankets thrown around, the drawers on the dresser had all been pulled out and some had even been thrown across the room; she slowly made her way inside looking around for any sign that whoever cause this mess was still in the room. Her mother's clothes had been thrown around the room as well as her fathers.

She looked at the wall and there was a message written on the wall; don't forget 4 days.

Her eyes went wide as she back out of the room, she flew down the stairs and out the door and was on her way to Tsunade's office when something told her to stop. She turned around and noticed the guy from ramen shop; the man with the black ponytail she spun around and began to walk towards him but her started to run away.

"HEY!" she yelled.

She moved to follow the man, he ran down a few alley ways and eventually made it to the rooftops, but it didn't matter what he did; he wasn't going to lose her. She stayed right with him until the we're a few buildings away from the gate and then he stopped turning to face her.

His black eyes held no emotion, he held wicked smile on his face as he stared the pinkette down, "You shouldn't follow me if you're all alone girly, you never know a pretty thing like you could just disappear." He whispered the last word and it send a shiver down her spine.

"You're not even an ally, how the hell did you get in the village and why the hell are you following me around?! You're crazy if you really think I haven't noticed you lurking in the shadows!" she yelled, she was furious.

"I have my way sweetheart and I don't plan on revealing anything to you just yet, I can't have you getting in my way. Don't worry, in just 4 short days all your questions will be answered."

Before she could say anything, he vanished, she watched the man disappear behind the smoke; she let out a frustrated cry and slammed her fist into the roof leaving a small hole.

"I should've just ripped his damn head off while I had the chance!" she yelled up at the sky, "Now what?" she asked herself.

-with the others-

They had been in Suna for a little over two days and Naruto was still as upset as he was when they first got there, the village had been ripped apart in a matter of hours. Homes torched, bodies of innocent people lay in the road ways; building and shops had been looted and destroyed as well. He walked along the road ways looking for any clues and survivors. His heart was heavy, he could only imagine what Gaara was going through right now; as their Kage he wasn't able to protect his village. It was Naruto's worst nightmare, he would do anything and everything he could to protect his home; no matter how much they hated him.

He finished his rounds and met up with Sasuke and his new hip attachment; Ino hasn't left his side since she met up with them in the forest. Everywhere Sasuke went she was wrapped around his arm; he need to talk to him, but he couldn't with Ino draped on his arm. The blonde girl was starting to annoy him, and it was hard to do, he loved all his friends, but this girl was dead weight when she was around Sasuke. She didn't do anything other than follow him around like a lost puppy.

"Find anything?" He asked.

"Hn. I might have, we should take it Gaara." He held a few flies in his hands.

They left Ino with the other medics since she had some medical training; they entered Gaara's office, he was sitting behind his desk with his blue eyes closed.

"I think Sasuke might have found something." Naruto said, Gaara opened his eyes and waited for Sasuke to speak.

"You said Kizashi was here the day before the attack, so I went back and looked around in his room; he left in such a hurry he wasn't able to grab everything. He left these behind in one of the desks; it's detailed layouts off the village, military plans and where you house certain items."

He handed the files to the Kazekage, "These are some of the files that were discovered missing right before the invasion and when Haruno was asked about them he seemed off, but we couldn't prove it was him because he covered his tracks well." He spread the files out on his desk and sighed, "Because I trusted than traitor my village paid the ultimate price."

He slammed his hand down on his desk, the look of fury and pain stretched across his face, "We'll fix this Gaara, we won't let him get away with it."

"I know his daughter is on your team, how do you know that she will help you and not betray you as her father as betrayed us? How do you know she isn't in on the whole thing?"

"They've kept her a secret thus far, and her parents don't tell her anything that involves their work. The only interaction with Sakura they have is when they train her and that itself is brutal. Her father cuts her down right from the start not really even giving her a chance to progress; and if she loses he belittles her in front of whoever is there. Her mother teaches her everything she knows in medical ninjutsu and that's it they don't talk. I haven't known her for very long but can tell you right now she's no traitor."

Gaara had no choice but to believe the young shinobi, he always made it hard to argue with him; they continued to talk for while and decided it was best for them to go home. There was nothing more they could really do here and Konoha might need them in the coming days. They walked back to their room and as soon as they opened the door Ino flung herself at Sasuke latching on to him.

"Oh, Sasuke I missed you!" she hollered.

"I was gone for two hours Ino." He said flatty trying to pry the girl from around his neck.

Naruto held back his laugh and started packing his things, he couldn't help but wonder how Sakura was doing. They had been spending a lot of time together training, and they always went out to eat after they were don't and even has a movie night a couple of times when the weather was too bad to do anything else.

He was could only guess how she was feeling right now, Kurama told him everything Tsunade has told Sakura herself. Kurama said that she seemed to take it better than he would have thought she would, but that could've been an act as well. All he knew is that he was ready to be home and he couldn't wait for morning to come so they could leave, his heart was heavy, and he couldn't bare to stay here anymore as much as he loved Gaara and Suna he was just ready to go home and stop the man who caused this mess.

I promise I WON'T make Ino this annoying through the whole story xD but had to add at least one fangirl in there somewhere lmao xD

Thinking about a little more NaruSaku fluff in the next chapter(:
