Chapter 7
Sasuke, team Hebi, Naruto and Kakashi decided to stop for the night, tomorrow they would arrive at the Akastuki's hideout. It was well into the night, and Naruto couldn't sleep. He got up and walked to the little stream near camp, and sat there staring at the water. He heard footsteps coming behind him, thinking it was Kakashi but was surprised when Sasuke came and sat next to him. "Can't sleep either?" asked Naruto looking down. Sasuke nodded. Naruto just sighed. "You think she's alright?" Naruto asked concerned. Sasuke didn't answer at first. "I don't know." He finally said. They were silent for a while, Naruto all the sudden started chuckling. Sasuke looked at him with a raised eyebrow. When Naruto stopped he smiled at the sky. "Who am I kidding this Sakura here of course she's alright!" he said confidently. Sasuke didn't look convinced, Naruto seeing this. "She's changed you know. I mean she is Grandma Tsunade's student after all." He stated. Sasuke was surprised at this, but it all started to make sense now. They sat in silence again. "You hardly changed though." Naruto said softly. "Same goes for you." Sasuke said. Naruto just smiled at him, and Sasuke smirked.
When Sakura woke up she could feel that she was slowly getting some chakra back and immediately masked it. She got up feeling a lot better but still pretty drained. She walked to the door and examined the dent she left. "Surely if I keep hitting that same spot the door will give out, but that would make to much noise and I'm in no condition to fight." She thought to herself. She sighed and went with pacing back and forth to figure a way out. "Naruto has to be on his way along with Kakshi-sensei. I wonder about Sasuke and his new team though …" she stopped in her tracks at that last thought. His new team. She shook her head. "No, main priority is getting out of her. If I keep my chakra masked they will think that it hasn't been restored yet, and when the opportunity comes I will be ready!" she thought determinedly. The door swung open revealing three figures. Sakura quickly making it look she just got up and was struggling to stay standing. "I seems you chakra has not restored yet." Said a unfamiliar voice. "Kisame your not needed, dismissed." He said. Kisame left grumbling under his breath. Sakura wobbled a bit and purposefully fell backwards on her make shift bed, giving them a glare. "Itachi wait outside." The voice said again. Itachi nodded and left the room and closing the door. "Miss Haruno you and I need to talk." He said. Sakura glared at him. "I don't think we do." She spat back. "When we are done with nine tails we invite you to become a member of Akastuki." He continued like she didn't say anything. Sakura was very surprised by this proposition but then she couldn't stop herself from letting out a little laugh. The man just stared at her. "You really think you going to get Naruto?" she asked sternly, "Well think again. Even if you did why would I join you, that would just give me more reason to finish you all off myself." She said looking at seriously. "You will regret saying that." He said moving closer. Sakura starting to lose the confidence she felt earlier got up, still keeping her acted up and started to move further away from him but soon met a wall behind her and he just closer.
