Thanks ya'll for the commentary! Shouts out to Uchiha Misaki for keeping it real! :)
I don't know if anyone else is feeling this way but, I'm feeling refreshed. :) Maybe because it's spring or maybe because my allergies are subsiding.
Also JUST FYI this chapter contains EXPLICIT CONTENT/ Rape warning!
For those that this is unexpected I wanted it to fit in with the life of what a Kinouchi can be like and what it can be like to come up against a man that is intimidated by female power.
Having come into situations similar to this i.e. my own personal work situations- obviously not this explicit!! But along the same lines of masculine power trips, I wanted to write something riveting that can speak to my own experience of having empowerment stripped away in seconds.

Sakura quietly made her way to the meeting spot where her and Sasuke decided on.
Oh Kami- Her emotions were running rampant in her heart. She couldn't let that affect her facade, but they were almost oozing out of her. Fighting alongside Sasuke, the man she'd dismissed as a ghost of the past, a traitor to Konaha, a man that's brought her nothing but pain. The rumors she'd heard of him killing innocent in cold blood couldn't be true!
She had to keep her guard up around him. The rumors were so conflicting it left Sakura with nothing but chaotic confusion.
Sakura came to the Hidden Valley to heal and protect the ones she cherished. Letting her emotions get in the way of her new mission would only hinder her abilities. It was at least 6 months since her last hand to hand combat and she needed to stay focused. Her concentration should be redirected to her and Sasuke's shared goal, defeating Yuki.
"You ready?" Sakura emotionlessly asked the empty clearing.
Sasuke dropped down from a nearby tree soundlessly.
"How many are there?"
Sakura pulled on her gloves absentmindedly. "There's 5 including Yuki. They set up camp in an abandoned temple a little ways from here."
"Hn."
Sakura finished adjusting her gloves,
"Why did you act defensive when we met?" Sasuke asked too causally.
"I'll never let my guard down around a former missing-nin." Sakura said without missing a beat.
"I havn't killed anyone since the war ended, whatever you heard is not true." Sasuke said seeing through her wall.
Oh really? Sasuke's words took her a little off edge in his presence, but she couldn't be too sure.
"Good, because we're not killing any of the rogue healers. I have a poison to put them in comas." Sakura tossed three viles attached to epidemic needles to Sasuke. "A few Anbu are on their way to take Yuki for questioning and handle the other 4 rouge." Sakura said checking her small medic pouch.
Sasuke watch intrigued by Sakura's authoritative tone, she'd become very self-assured.
"Also-" Sakura said finding Sasuke's eyes "There's a ninja among them that has a mouth full of gold, him and Yuki are mine."
Sasuke smirked at her personal vendetta.
"Is there anything else I should know?"
"I don't know if Yuki's been successful in creating the mind control mixture, so be on guard. It can be absorbed through inhalation and skin contact. Avoid touching any of them, medic ninjas are known for coating their skin in poison. Especially if they know there's a possibility for combat."
"Is your skin coated in this poison?" Sasuke asked gesturing to the viles in his hand.
"No, normally I have a baseline tolerance for most poison but, this, this one is a specialty in this village. I havn't had time to build a resistance." Sakura smiled at Aki's handy work.
"I understand." Sasuke said pocketing the viles.
"Let's head out." Sakura said bounding up into one of the trees. Sasuke followed her up into the canopy and the pair made their way flying through the foliage.
A small smile graced Sakura's lips as her familiarity with the forwst slowly came back. She'd spent many afternoons with Sana as she brought her around "introducing" her to each fauna in the woods. Sana called it introductions because she gave the slightest bow when she greeted each flower and herb. She explained their medicinal properties and the crucial role they played in the eco system. Sakura reminisced freely as she glided through the forest almost forgetting Sasuke was behind her.
The dense forest was slowly giving way to large towering pine trees. The sweet acidic smell of decaying pine needles filled the air as Sasuke and Sakura descended down to the ground. Sakura put a hand on one of the grandfather pines and closed her eyes. She listened carefully for the sound of water.
"They're close by. Just across the river."
Sakura said affirmatively pointing in the direction of the gurgling sound.
Sakura made out Sasuke's small affirmative nod. The trees were cutting out all the light and they stood in almost darkness. Sasuke started off first, quietly brushing past her as they soundlessly crossed the river. Sakura's adrenaline was starting to kick in as they neared their camp.
Sasuke and her wordlessly decided to scout the area before descending upon the temple.
It was a beautiful structure covered in vines and twisting trees.
The first guard was sighted, a small portly ninja sitting asleep against a large oak outside the opening of the temple.
They're sloppy. Thought Sakura with ease, if the guard was asleep that meant they didn't expect trouble.
Sasuke didn't waste a moment. He swooped in like a hawk, taking out the vile Sakura gave him, stabbing the man in the thigh, and covering his mouth-'all with his one hand. The rogue's eyes opened in panic, but then slowly rolled back in his head. He slumped back against the tree and Sasuke stood up, pulling the vile out of his leg.
Sakura's eyes barley had time to follow his movements.
1 down 4 to go I guess. She was hoping for a little more of a challenge so she could vent her anger for taking advantage of her precious village, but maybe this would be quick and easy.
As if on cue one of the other rogues stepped out of the temple yawning and stretching his arms- It was Sho.
Sasuke retreated into the tree above the body. His sharingan caught a golden glint from his mouth, he knew this was Sakura's guy. He didn't know why she was out for him, but he knew it would be amusing.
"Alright piggy, get up! It's my turn to take watch." Sho walked over to the other rogue slumped against the tree. "I wanna see if I could talk to any of the girls in this village to use this new concoction on." Sho smiled deviously. "They're all a little young but they'll do. And this time they won't be able to run." Sho added snickering.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes in disgust, understanding why Sakura wanted to end him.
"Royu! Get up!" Sho said, but Royu didn't move.
"Come on, I don't wanna wait forever to get my dick wet."
Sakura glared at Sho behind a nearby shrub. He reminded her of someone she'd fought in her past. Another one of the seedy ninjas who took advantage of young girls innocence.
Sho shook Royu's shoulder "Are you that tired?" Royu's body slowly slumped forward into his lap.
Sho took one leap back on guard.
Without missing a beat Sakura burst through the trees, taking Sho by surprise. "Shannaro!"
Sho successfully put up an arm in front of her punch just in time, but Sakura's hit landed two tons of force and broke his arm instantly.
"Argh!" Sho cried out in pain, grinding to a halt in front of the temple. Sakura smirked in satisfaction. He quickly began healing himself with his other hand. "You bitch! Who do you think you are!?" Sho demanded.
Sakura wouldn't let him get the chance, she dashed in for the second blow, all she wanted was the knock those pretty gold teeth straight out of his mouth.
Sho nearly dodged her second blow to his face, leaning backwards, but wasn't fast enough to miss her round kick to his legs.
"Looks like you won't be seeing any of the girls today." Sakura spat at him.
Sho retreated, letting his body glow green trying desperately to heal his wounds.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Sho said with new resolve. "A beautiful creature like you'll be holding your legs open for me in no time." Sho rolled his shoulder back, completely healed.
He's fast. Sakura got into a fighting stance.
Sho stealthily pulled out a small vile of his own.
That must be the mind control serum. Sakura zeroed in on the bottle.
Sho sprayed some in the air and weaved a few signs. The liquid morphed into a gas and spread through the clearing and into the air at lightening speed. Sasuke covered his mouth and fled the tree, but it was too late his body was engulfed in the gas.
Sakura sprang back shrouding her mouth and nose in green chakra, but she wasn't fast enough either. The gas had expanded so quickly some had touched her arm.
Sasuke burst through the cloud and landed beside Sakura.
"Stop moving." Sho called.
A warm sensation trickled into Sakura's blood stream causing her and Sasuke to halt completely.
Fuck.
"Wow, this stuff really does work." Sho stared in wonder at the bottle he was holding. "And look at that! There's two of you." Sho sized up Sasuke.
"Put your sword down." Sho ordered Sasuke. Sasuke's muscles spasmed trying to fight against his orders, but it was no use. The serum that was now freely flowing in his blood stream. He untied his Katana and laid it down at his side. "Incredible." Sho remarked quietly, watching with delight.
"You know, I was thinking about all the wonderful things I could do with this stuff." Sho swirled around the bottle he was holding and sauntered towards Sakura. He trailed a finger around her collarbone, circling her body. "And then the answer to all my needs drops right in front of my doorstep."
Sasuke watched in agony as Sho flicked the tip of her breast with his finger. His mind sparked with anger, he couldn't let him put his hands on her like that! What the hell is this guy doing?!
Sakura shuddered at his touch, and noticed Sasuke was trembling.
"You two must be a couple? Hm." Sho noted the seething anger radiating off of Sasuke. "No." Sakura gritted out through her teeth.
"Oh... well-" Sho put a finger to his chin.
"Let me think of something better! More participatory" Sho chuckled.
"I don't want the rest to wake up and see what we're up to." Sho said looking back at the temple. "Let's find a quieter place. Follow me to when I say stop." Sasuke and Sakura's bodies moved like puppets following Sho until they reached a small clearing covered in ferns.
EXPLICITY STARTS HERE! If you're not interested, pls skip ahead!

"Remove your top." He directed at Sakura, not wasting any time. Her mind started running in a frenzy. Every ounce of her mental capacity couldn't stop her from stripping her top. Sakura removed her red qipao leaving her bindings exposed to the forest air.
Sasuke thanked the gods his eyes were fixed forward. Instead he glared at Sho, hoping his gaze would decapitate him. Sasuke had already tried to use his Rinnegan to teleport himself elsewhere but his Chakra moved at such a slow pace it felt impossible to use his eyes.
A low growl emitted from Sakura's lips.
"Feisty! I like it." Sho winked
Sho turned Sakura's body so her back was to Sasuke's side and lifted up her up like a rag doll. "Put your legs around my waist." Sakura's legs snaked around him, begrudgingly.
"Now! The fun begins. I told you your legs would open for me." Sho smiled at Sakura.
I'm so close.
"We're about to fuck you like the Leaf fucked us all after the war. And then once we're done, I'm gonna kill both of you." Sho licked Sakura's earlobe eliciting Sakura's body to shake in revulsion.
Almost there! Sakura frantically thought trying not to make another sound.
"You ready for this." Sho whispered with delight.
So close!! Sakura internally screamed.
Sho was about to pull down her pants, but a blood curdling scream went out.
Sasuke's stomach dropped hearing the scream in pain. Followed by a loud slamming sound that echoed throughout the forest. Sasuke desperately strained his eyes but the poison kept them fixed ahead. What the fuck did he do to her!?
