-1They waited for them to attack first for they where severely outnumbered. When Kabuto gave the signal his cronies came at them, while he and Sasuke stood on the sidelines watching.

Furious at herself for believing he might have changed, and furious at Tsunade for not telling her the truth her fist slammed into the nearest enemy. He choked as her gloved hand sank into his stomach, rupturing his kidney. He went down and she kicked out at the next man. He dodged and tried to stab her with a strange knife, but she dodged his attack and her sandal crashed into his jaw, snapping his neck.

In the split second between the next nin's attack she glanced around to look at Kakashi and Naruto. Both where going at it with two nin, they didn't appear injured yet. During her brief analysis three of Kabuto's thugs had surrounded her.

"What's the matter little girl", one of them sneered, "waiting for your boyfriends to come and save you?"

Her eyes glinted dangerously, "I do not need to be saved."

And without further ado she leaped into the air and sent a rain of kunai down on her assailants. As she landed someone caught her form behind with a blunt object. Her eyes watered and she bit her lip to keep form crying out. Her attacker turned out to be the man who had pulled out the scroll. "Battle isn't for the women." he said smiling.

"Really? Then how did I get here?"

She punched him in his shoulder, and blocked the chakra flow from the neck down.

"Bitch! What did you do to me?"

"Sorry just proving a point."

Without another word she stabbed him in the throat, causing him to stain the sand red and gurgle to his death.

Somehow during the battle she ended up fighting alongside Kakashi. "Sakura are Kabuto and Sasuke still there?"

She threw a red eyed, dark-skinned man into the remains of the rocky outcrop, and replied, "Yes, the bastards are just trying to tire us out for when we finally get to them."

"I know" he said , driving a cloud of shurikin into the enemy's chest. "How's Naruto holding up?"

"I don't know give me a boost."

He kicked away another man, and knelt in front of her, fingers laced together. She stepped up and he launched her into the air. Two nin rose to meet her and she kicked them down, giving her a clear view of her blonde friend. He was steadily cutting down a fresh wave of the enemy that had appeared out of nowhere, and slowly, but surely, making his way to the treacherous Uchiha.

She plummeted back down to earth and Kakashi caught her, setting her down on the bloodstained sand. "He's going toward Sasuke; and Kabuto summoned more Sound-nin."

Kakashi swore and looked to the sky. Naruto was holding them off but not for long.

"Sakura, what jutsu do you know?"

She frowned, she understood that he wanted to get this done quickly. Only then did she realize the gash starting at his left shoulder and ending around his midriff. "Kakashi how are you even walking with that wound?"

"Answer me!"

"I have been working on a new jutsu with Shishou, it could probably take them all out."

"Good, get to Naruto and tell him to help me clear the rest of the enemy with his Rasengan, then I am counting on you to drive off Kabuto and Sasuke."

"You're trusting me with this?"

"I have depleted almost all my chakra, and you I see have been conserving it and you know as well as I do that Naruto's probably drained all of his, so you are the one to finish this."

He looked into her sea-green eyes with his own, serious, mismatched ones. She could see that he trusted her. That meant more to her than he knew.

"Okay Kakashi but I need to get on that rubble once I get Naruto for you."

"You can manage." he said giving her one of his goofy smiles.

She smiled back, though weakly and charged into the mass of ninja, towards Naruto's familiar chakra.

Kakashi looked at the blonde Kyuubi holder as he appeared panting at his side. He could sense what remained of his chakra stirring, and being focused to hi right hand for the Rasengan. He did the same for his Chidori. In the distance he saw Sakura steal away to the stony rubble.

You can do it Sakura…I know you can.

She pulled out her canteen and poured the contents into a dent in the stone. She needed all four elements for this to work.

As Kakashi and Naruto plowed through the enemy she formed the necessary seals and as the last of them fell she unleashed the jutsu.

"Dragon of the Four Elements!"

Qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpq

Kakashi looked up as a massive head rose above them. It was the head and neck of a dragon, it's eyes fiery and body made of earth and water, the wind kicked up around them as it descended upon Kabuto and Sasuke. Their screams echoed around the empty stretch of desert for all to hear.

When it dispersed he looked at Kabuto and Sasuke.

Kabuto was missing a chunk of his midriff and one of legs, while Sasuke remained unscathed.

"Impossible!"

Naruto was gaping at the untouched backstabber. He looked at them and said, "Kabuto may fall prey to such mediocre jutsu but I am better than that."

Kabuto choked, he was bleeding freely and heavily, and leaning on Sasuke. Death no doubt was closing in on him fast.

Sasuke eyed him with distaste. "I better get him back to the compound, he's getting blood all over my new shirt."

And without another word he disappeared with a twist of the wind.
