Me: Hey guys, its 4am and im about to get in the car to go to Queenstown but I decided to update, I am sleep deprived so if the chapter is crap sorry, my brother was up all night watching movies… in my room again so I couldn't sleep oh and to 'tuhinga totoko' my brother hi 5's you back and um my brother has my dads looks and I look like my mama, you see his hair is not too curly wavy black, he has sun tanned skin I guess, and it's the only thing we have in common and he was a mixture of my parents eyes, they are green-blue, and he stole my height, he is actually 6ft 2 or 6ft 1, and im sadly 5ft 6, I have my mothers dark brown hair and her green eyes, and also her height. So we don't really look much alike, but when we go out to thing as a family with our parents we look like siblings because people know where we get our looks, he's a mama's boy by the way and im my dads little girl (which can get annoying). Anyways enough about my bother and I here is the chapter.


The next day I awake to hear rummaging down stairs, I run downstairs to see thugs about to cut Inari who was covering his mother protectively, I couldn't help but feel proud of my little minion.

"Shadow clone jutsu" I say and create ten clones that defeat the thugs within seconds and have them tightly tied up.

"Hey Inari, you were great, you finally stopped crying stood up for yourself" I say and he smiles up at me and I smile.

"I have to go to help my team but remember heroes do exist, and your father he was a great hero" I say and then I run of to my teammates.

Once I get there I see them fighting Zabuza and a masked boy.

"SAKURA UZUMAKI IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY" I exclaimed and Zabuza glares and is about to fight me and I get ready until.

"Idiot" Kakashi murmurs

"Zabuza let me fight her, you deal with Kakashi" the boy says and Zabuza nods.

I see Naruto protecting Tazuna from Zabuza clones and I see Sasuke on his knees trapped inside a ice mirror type prison. I run towards the ice prison and towards Sasuke, ending up trapped also.

"Hey ducky are you okay" I asked concerned and he glared at me with red eyes, he had sharingan.

"You idiot, now your trapped too" Sasuke growled at me

I turn to see the boy in the mirror "I am sorry for this" the boy said before needles came flying at us but before they hit us I yell "Shadow clone jutsu" and my shadow clones take the needles and poof away.

"Shadow clone jutsu" I yell and 20 Sakura's run at the ice mirrors trying to break them and to break through.

"It's impossible to break out of my ice mirror trap" the boy says and I glare at him.

"Fire jutsu: the great fireball technique" Sasuke yells and a giant fireball goes flying at the ice mirrors but does not effect.

Suddenly needles were flying everywhere, Sasuke dodged with ease but I barely dodged and was become tired.

We try to escape again using the same attack but ended up being knocked back down.

"Pinky, come on… just one more time" Sasuke urges me but my body was stinging sharply and all I felt was pain, I look up to see Sasuke's eyes they were red with sharingan, so that's why he can dodge the needles.

"Ducky, im sorry, but I must remind you that unlike you I don't have sharingan to help me counter the needles" I say well biting my lip to stop myself from hissing in pain, as more needles struck me.

"Come on pinky, your better than this, HOW CAN KONOHA HAVE A WEAK HOKAGE" Sasuke yells at me and I knew he was irritated, but he didn't have to say I was weak.

I slowly stand to my feet ignoring the searing pain I felt, I frown at the masked boy for causing this pain.

"SHUT UP DUCKY, AND YOU, DO YOU KNOW HOW SORE THESE NEEDLES ARE, IF THIS BATTLE ENDS AND WE'RE BOTH ALIVE, IM GOING TO THROW NEEDLES AT YOU" I say angrily at the masked boy, forming a hand seals I got ready to fight again.

"Shadow clone jutsu" I say and 20 clones appear and we all start running towards different parts of the mirrors, suddenly the mask boy followed me, within a second my clones were gone and I went flying to the ground, in more pain, and boy did I have a strong dislike for needles now. They didn't just bounce of me; no they pierced into my skin and stayed in it, so every move I make it felt like my flesh was ripping. Even worse is that I laying on the ground face first and the needles are stabbing into me. I lean up and stand up slowly I was a bit shaky but I raise me head and glare at the mask boy before standing straight. I t felt like I was going to die with the amount of pain I was in, it was worse than the beatings use to get before I became a shinobi, way worse.

"Pinky are you okay" I hear Sasuke ask softly and I scoff and turn to him well frowning, he had barely any needles in him, I had thousand.

"Yeah ducky, im just fine with these bloody needles ripping into me, stupid ducks with cool eyes that help you dodge" I mutter angrily, damn it, why couldn't I have sharingan, oh that's right, im not a Uchiha.

Needles come flying towards us and Sasuke dodged skillfully but I dodged a few but ended up being hit again from plenty.

"Sakura" I hear Sasuke exclaim but I fall to my knees, those needles were aimed at my legs, and now it was too painful to stand on them.

"I–I hiss in pain as I tear the needles out of my legs- hate needles" I mutter and after im done, I stand once again. Despite the searing pain I stood up for more, some would call it determination, others would call it stubbornness, well the others would call it stupidity, and after I got hit by another way of needles I too now deem it stupid.

"Sakura" I hear Sasuke say desperately but he defends me from another way of needles

"Look Sasuke, I cant dodge them, I cant block them, his movements are too fast, and I cant fight him with shadow clone jutsu, but maybe" I whisper softly, I smirk to myself before reaching into my pocket and I grabbing the 'paint bombs' and the 'flour bombs'. Standing up with a playful smile I look at the mask boy.

"I AM SAKURA, FUTURE HOKAGE, AND MASTER PRANKSTER" I say wickedly, suddenly the boy flies out the mirror to throw more and quickly I throw the flour bomb into the air.

"Activate" I say and the flour explodes covering the boy, and Sasuke fends of the needles.

"What did that do?" Sasuke asks curiously and I smirk to myself

"Oh you wait ducky" I say and suddenly the boy flew out of the mirror, I grab a water bomb from inside my pranks equipment pocket and throw it in the air, and yell activate again. The water squirted on him and now the flour was heavier, and his movements slower.

"Like when your running at the beach, the sand and water mixed together weighs you down, I don't have sand but I had flour, now you can attack him" I say and Sasuke smirks.

"That is indeed a smart plan" the boy says impressed and I smirk.

"And so is this, Sasuke remember the move I did so you can get the bells, remember what I told you" I say and Sasuke nods "sexy no jutsu… multiplied" I say and suddenly 4 naked girls appear in a POOF of smoke, with the smoke covering their 'part'. Each had a different hair color and eye color.

The boy in the mirror froze as my clone stepped towards him; it looked like he didn't know what to do.

'Genjutsu that Kakashi did… what was it… he did it to Naruto, wait this is it hahaha' I think deviously… but wait I cant do genjutsu, damn plan failed.

'Now fire usually melts ice but not in this thing, so… salt will eat away at it but that will be slow unless I make it more concentrated or… use hot water… damn got none… wait increase the surface area and make sure the salt it small, luckily it is small, and luckily I brang my prank equipment' I think to myself, I grab a little bag with salt in it and I throw it over his ice, it had to work, and it was but rather slowly, plan failed… wasted salt. The boy suddenly destroyed my clones and came out to throw more needles this time I use my paint bomb, it explodes all over him, and weirdly I had good luck and it covered his peek holes in the mask, I then realized we could escape.

"Now" I exclaim and take of towards an exit, Sasuke runs towards another one, and we both escape successfully.

"How did you…" the boy says and I smirk proudly.

"Pranks, it's the only subject im good at" I say and I turn to see Sasuke had also escaped.

"Sorry, but I can't let you win" the boy says and suddenly needles flew at me and struck me rather harshly and I fell to my knees, Sasuke rushed towards me and we had unknowingly been trapped… again.

"Dam ducky, you should have left" I growl out but I look in Sasuke's eyes to see he was really worried, and then I looked down to see blood seeping through my clothing.

"Im sorry, but it's time to end this" the boy says and suddenly deadly needles were coming towards me so I closed my eyes waiting for the blow but I open my eyes to see Sasuke standing over me

"S-Sasuke, w-why?" I asked with wide eyes and he grins before collapsing into my arms, my whole body freezes in shock, I, he, needles, not for him, for me… and he's hurt, because of me.

"It was instinct S-Sakura, I-I didn't w-want to d-die without m-m-making my f-father proud b-but" Sasuke says and suddenly he stops responding, his eyes close and he exhales his 'last' breath

"SASUKE" I yell with tears shining in my eyes, they slowly began to fall, and I softly stroke Sasuke's cheek as my tear had landed on it. I collapse onto him, holding him tightly well crying into the nape of his neck

"Sasuke, im sorry, im sorry for calling you gay, im sorry for mocking your hair, im sorry, please just get up and call me a crybaby, Sasuke" I whisper softly, like he was going to listen, but he was gone, and it was my fault, he died because of me.

"Im sorry Sasuke, you shouldn't have protected me, I shouldn't have been so weak… he took you away, my first true friend" I whisper and suddenly I felt angry, it felt anger burn with in me. Then I felt a surge of power, and my strength came back to me.

"Is this the first time you've witnessed death" the boy asks me but I was so angry, so damn angry.

A huge amount of red chakra surrounds me and I feel power in me awakening, my wounds all heal and my eyes go red with slits, I get fangs and claws. My heart is was beating rapidly inside my chest, as the chakra grew around me.

'I will kill you, grr… this pain, its unbearable, he must pay, he took him away, he didn't have the right too' I think angrily, I couldn't think of anything else but that, anger took over my senses, but the power felt so uplifting.

"The chakra is, pure evil" the boy says and I run towards him super fast and his needles come towards me so I scream out my pain and the needles are deflected, then after I run at him like a predator galloping after its prey, he was my prey, and he was going to be destroyed, that's all I knew because within something was telling me to kill him, to make him pay for this pain. He tries to flee, 'typically prey move' I find myself thinking, I felt more evil, more angry, the anger clouded over everything, like my common sense, it even drowned out my conscience. I grab him with a strong grip and I clench my fist tightly, I wanted him to pay, then I punch him hard in the face with all the strength I could muster. I thought that the punch, hitting him would make me feel better but no I wanted more, I wanted him to bleed. The masked boy goes flying against mirror and the mirrors shatters along with the other mirrors, I run at him to punch him again fiercely. Then a piece of his mask broke off and revealed Haku, the boy I met in the forest the other day. I feel the power disappear as I realize who he is, I found that I couldn't hurt him, when he and I, in a way were alike, I can see the look in his eyes, the same look I have in mine, he was like me in a way.

"Why are you stopping?" he asked me but I punched him in the face again, I had to, why did he make this hard on me, why did he have to be the boy I met earlier and why must he share the same look, the longing look in his eyes.

"I have lost, I am useless now, Zabuza deserves better, I can no longer protect him, please kill me" Haku said and I froze, and I found myself needing to know why he helped such a man.

"Why? Why are you helping him?" I said with sadness laced in my voice

"Can you understand? Not having a dream, not being needed by anyone, The pain of merely being alive" Haku replied

"I do" I reply back and he looks at me with sad eyes, those eyes were like mine. I knew this is a little bad of me but it felt great to know, I wasn't the only one to feel the pain.

"Then you know, the moment when you feel needed by someone when your no longer alone hw great it feels" Haku said and I nodded in agreement

"I realized the most painful thing... That in this world... my existence was not needed" Haku said and I looked down, remembering all those years I suffered, all those nights I cried myself to sleep, and it turned out to be because of a demon I had within me.

"I know how that feels, to feel like a burden to the world, like if you died no one would notice, that you have no meaning in the world, that you were nothing, to be judged by not who you are personally but… by the curse or gift as some may view it you have, I suffered the pain of being lonely, but when I discovered my dream of wanting to be kage of my village, I-I got hope, that maybe if my dream does come true I would be needed, that I would have an importance, but when I met my team, I found my importance and it is with them, fighting beside them to protect my village, protecting them, I have no blood family but they, they are my family that I will protect, but you took, you took away someone important to me, you must understand the consequences, I know that Zabuza gave you the will to live by being needed but it doesn't make it right and it wont take away the pain im feeling right now, you see I don't care about becoming hokage as much as I care about my family, my team, and Sasuke, he is my first true friend I made, and this pain I feel, its worse than the pain I felt before" I say sorrowfully, I know shinobi lose people, but Sasuke, he deserved to live, he has a family, friends, and a meaning. He died with his dream because of me.

"Then kill me, for Sasuke" Haku says and I look at him, and pull out my kunai, I grip it in my hand tightly. I go to kill him but he disappears "Sorry but I still have my job to do" I heard him yell and I look around for him.

Haku had appeared in front of Zabuza protecting him from Kakashi's lightning blade.

"Im s-sorry Zabuza, I am a useless tool" Haku said before dying and I ran over to Haku, but not without peering at Sasuke for one last time, I wanted to stay with him… but the fight was still on.

"Humph" Zabuza says and goes to attack Kakashi and Kakashi carries Haku's body to safety dodging the attack also.

"H-how could you be so heartless" I say well glaring at Zabuza, this man, he wasn't a cool MUMMINATOR 4000, no he was a bastard.

"He was a mere tool, don't you understand that every shinobi is a tool to someone or there village" Zabuza said well glaring back

"But h-he, you were his precious person, he told me that himself, HE DIED PROTECTING YOU BECAUSE HE LOVED YOU AND YOU TREAT HIM LIKE A TOOL, HE WAS MORE THAN THAT, YOU WERE LIKE HIS FATHER TO HIM, YOU MADE HIM FEEL NEEDED, BECAUSE HE TOLD ME THAT BEFORE HE FELT THE PAIN OF BEING UNNEEDED BUT THEN HE MET YOU, YOU GAVE HIS LIFE MEANING, AND YOU DON'T EVEN CARED HE DIED PROTECTING YOU HE DIED ALONG WITH HIS DREAMS FOR YOU" I screamed at Zabuza who in return looked shocked but it wasn't long until Gato arrived.

Zabuza burst into tears "you are right Sakura Uzumaki" he says softly.

"Sakura wheres Sasuke" Naruto asked and I stayed quiet and looked down, Naruto immediately ran to Sasuke.

Gato chuckled and kicked Haku's body "what a useless boy, and here I cam to kill you two myself oh and the bridge builder" Gato says

"WE'RE HERE TO FIGHT" I hear a mob yell and I turn to see the villagers with weapons being led by Inari.

"Don't touch him" Zabuza growled out and turned to look at me "hand me your kunai" he orders and I hand it to him and he runs off performing silence kill, killing all of Gato's men and Gato himself. But he had been injured and he stumbled over. Kakashi took him and rested him beside Haku and Zabuza grinned "You were more than a tool my dear son, I hope we go to afterlife together" Zabuza says and snow falls on him and Zabuza chuckles

"Even in death you cry for me" Zabuza says and soon dies too.

"Kakashi-sensei is a shinobi really just a tool" I ask saddened

"Yes" Kakashi replied back

"Then im going to have my own ninja way, im not going to listen to others when they try to tell me how to be a ninja" I say determined

"HEY SAKURA, SASUKE IS AWAKE AND ALIVE" Naruto yells and I turn quickly and smile in that direction to see Sasuke smiling back as he stood.

"HEY DUCK YA MISSED OUT ON THE ACTION, WELL YOU WERE PLAYING DEAD OF COURSE" I yell trying to hold myself back from lunging at him and hugging him well begging him to forgive me, he glares at me playfully.

"SHUT UP PINKY" I hear him yell back weakly, and I felt guilty, but then a smug look arose on my face and I look at him feigning confusion

"I DON'T UNDERSTAND DUCK LANGUAGE" I yell back and he glares at me, and I laugh softly, I don't know why, but I was so glad to see him standing there, in one piece, and then I immediately knew that Haku did what he did to Zabuza earlier on before, he put him into a temporary death. I smile and look up into the sky "Thank you Haku, may you rest in peace, AND IF YOU CAN HEAR ME TELL ME IF THERE'S RAMEN THERE" I say, and I knew somewhere in heaven Haku was shaking his head well smiling, and probably eating good ramen… 'Damn lucky shim' I think to myself at the thought of Haku eating ramen, yup everything was back to normal.


AS WE WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE

"Thank you for everything Sakura, without you Inari wouldn't have gained back his strength and the villagers wouldn't have had hope and their strength restored to them, in thanks im naming the bridge 'the great Sakura bridge' for what you have done for us" Tazuna says and I smile and hug him before walking over to Inari.

"Im going to miss you Sakura-nee chan" Inari said holding back tears

"Im going to miss you too Inari-nii chan" I say and hold back tears "you know its okay to cry, I r-really don't mind" I add with a small smile

"I don't want to" Inari says softly well biting his lip, also holding back tears.

"Bye Tsunami-chan, Tazuna… Inari-nii chan" I say and we turn to leave I burst into tears and at the same time Inari burst into tears as we started to walk away. I was going to miss that kid, and the more I thought of leaving, I feel and sadder, and now more tears were gushing down my cheeks.

"You guys are idiots" Naruto says well sighing and I look at him and glare angrily, he didn't know how hard this was for me, he just wanted to see the damn fag mayor.

"SHUT UP LOVER-BOY, HINATA MIGHT HAVE MOVED ON BY NOW, THINK OF THAT" I say still crying, my voice was strong because I was choking back a sob.

"What" Naruto says and also burst into tears.

I carried on crying and Sasuke frowned "Tch get on my back" Sasuke says well sighing and I look up at him and smile before jumping on his back.

"Ducky" I whisper well wrapping my arms around his shoulders

"Yes pinky" Sasuke says back well walking

"Why did you save me?" I ask feeling saddened, remembering his death hurt me, even though it was fake, I couldn't lose him.

"Because that's what friends are for" Sasuke says and I frown, I didn't want him to die for me, friend or not.

"But I never asked you too" I argue back, didn't he get that I didn't want to have him die for me, if he was dead for real before, I don't know how I would be at the moment, but hell I wouldn't be happy, I'd be miserable.

"You didn't have to pinky, I promise you here and now Sakura, I will always protect you, and I will be the HERO" Sasuke replied and I sigh

"Silly duck, I don't need you to protect me" I say softly.

"Shut it pinky before I make you walk" Sasuke says

"Fine, fine jeez, but thanks Sasu -yawns- you know I think I went ballistics at Haku after he fake killed you, and im sorry for being weak, but next time to fake die and come back to life I will kill you personally, I don't want to lose someone close to me" I grumble into his neck unaware of his blush, I close my eyes sleepily.

"I don't want to lose you either Saki" Sasuke says softly and a smile spread across my face, I don't know why but that sentence made me feel happy.


KAKASHI POV

Kakashi smiled as he saw the young Uchiha prodigy blush well carrying a smiling Sakura who was cuddling into Sasuke, which was probably why he is blushing.

'Ah young love' Kakashi thought to himself and then looked at his other student that was crying over his Hinata-chan

'Er, maybe Naruto should er get some… help' Kakashi thought well shivering at Naruto's weirdness, but he noticed something, his team were close, yes, but Sasuke and Sakura were even closer even though he thought they would be killing each other by now, the first time he saw them together they argued continuously, but now its different, they are literally inseparable. Kakashi was worried though, Naruto was drifting away from them, but he knew Sasuke and Sakura were trying to get Naruto to train with them.

'Naruto will learn and he is quite a strong boy when he puts his mind to it' Kakashi thinks to himself.

"SHUT IT DUCKY" Kakashi hears Sakura exclaim bringing him out of his thoughts. The pair was at it again, but this time as Kakashi observed it seemed like Sasuke was winding her up on purpose.

"What if I don't want to pinky" Sasuke says teasingly making Sakura frown angrily, Kakashi swore he saw smoke coming out of her ears.

"All I want to do is sleep ducky, and is wear if I have to get someone else to ducky back me then I will" Sakura says tiredly but with an angry edge to her voice.

Kakashi watches Sasuke go tense and Sasuke then narrowed his eyes at both Kakashi and Naruto. Kakashi smiles knowingly under his mask 'Well the Uchiha's are famous for being quite possessive, it will be wore when he's older' Kakashi thinks to himself.

"Fine, humph sorry" Sasuke says sulkily and Sakura sighs happily before cuddling into him again and closing her eyes to sleep.

'This would be a good Icha Icha story' Kakashi thinks with a dreamy look on his face.
