The group stared for a while, nobody noticed the sudden appearance of Itachi and Kisame until Kisame spoke, "That is unexpected we thought Oroch--"

He was cut off by Sakura's glare and harsh voice when she questioned him, he was almost grateful when Itachi broke in, "It was merely a suspicion."

Her glare snapped to him it was obvious that she thought he should have told her, but then some thought distracted her and she let out a dark chuckle, "But who would have thought. Sasuke would be more believable, but come on," her laughter was taking over now, "Kabuto, who would have thought that ass wipe could pull off something so complex."

Sasuke spoke for the first time since the unveiling, "That must mean he wad disguised as Orochimaru too. It does seem to make sense seeing as the snakes skills seemed to diminish."

Sakura was laughing again, "Whoa Sasuke didn't know you swung that way, looks like it's up to your brother to rebuild the clan," Sakura elbowed Itachi in the ribs, "though I secretly think he's a transvestite," she whispered loudly.

Everyone just stared at Sakura, wide eyed, wondering how and when in hell had she become so unhinged. Insulting Sasuke was one thing, one could probably survive that, but Itachi, she was as good as dead. Kabuto, who was momentarily forgotten, took the advantage to attack the person who had insulted him, only to be stopped by, Itachi?

The room was shocked Itachi, the genocidal clan killer, had protected her.

Sasuke, forgetting Sakura's insult, was furious and confused, what was going on between the two that would make his brother protect anyone. Sakura was the one to clear the confusion from their features, "don't worry he's not going soft, he just wants to kill me himself for being generally annoying to him," she stated cheerfully before mumbling, "must be genetic or something. Pink hair equals annoying."

The group seemed to accept this explanation, though it wasn't as reassuring as Itachi going soft, before remembering whom they were speaking with, the sensei's reacted first, "Akatsuki," Guy and Kurenai ground out voices full of fury, the student generation caught one quickly and mimicked the seasoned nin's fighting stances.

"I think the one who was sitting behind the desk should be more of a priority then us," Kisame stated dryly motioning to Kabuto who was starting to squirm under the gaze of Itachi's soulless eyes. Sasuke, who finally seemed to notice his brother, charged at him a light blue glow forming on his hand.

"Hmm, hey Kisame, why does Sasuke go in freaky chidori mode every time he sees his brother? I mean it's not like it worked the first few times."

"I dunno maybe it's something to do with pure fury, speaking of, I'm surprised your not sending what's-his-face through a wall."

"No I've learned from my attempts on Itachi to be less obvious."

"Like how," he said while watching, amused, as his partner dodged his brothers frenzied attacks.

But Sakura just winked before reappearing and punching Itachi and his captive, Kabuto, through a wall, "You see Kisame, less obvious and I killed two birds with one stone," her tone was cheerful, like a child waiting to be praised, as she turned to the blue man who was howling on the floor in laughter, Akatsuki dignity be damned. Sakura knew Itachi would be out for her blood later because of her attack, but they had a mutual if silent agreement to annoy the hell out of each other.

Sasuke had watch as Sakura pounded his brother through a wall with ease, and after a brief exchange with her , uh friend, she turned to him, smirking, "Go ahead and try. I dare you." She was looking him right in the eyes, no fear of the powerful Mangekyo Sharingan that rested there.

" I should be leaving though I want to get to Kabuto before Itachi decides to kill him."

Sakura left through the hole she had created, Kisame following behind, and eventually Sasuke after recovering from the feral look in his former teammates eyes. Teams 10, 8, Guy followed shortly after curious as to what would happen.

It was just past noon when the fight had come to a slight halt, craters linde the streets from Sakura, who was in slight pain from Kabuto's most recent attack with his chakra scalpel. Kabuto himself was much worse for wear with multiple weapon wounds, and a slow acting poison that caused immense pain. The Uchiha brothers were no longer in sight, having moved to far away in their own fight.

"So tell me Sakura, why aren't you questioning me about my plan, like a good shiobi."

She ignored Kabuto's taunt, " Because as a good shinobi I already know, it is quite obvious really. You were tired of being Orochimaru's lap dog so you killed him, then your haterd of Naruto and myself took over, so disguised as snake-man you had Sasuke kill him, which eventually made me leave."

The spectators, Team Guy, watched as Sakura forcibly continued her battle, the others were gone hoping to catch at least one Uchiha and a shark. They had never seen Sakura like this before, she fought ruthlessly but even then she seemed to be holing back, using only the simplest of techniques, saving her energy for something big, and the team knew what. Sakura though adequately justified in her leaving had joined the Akatsuki and had stolen scrolls from the Kage's library in short win or lose, both opponents were likely to die, the team was just waiting for the opportune moment.

Kabuto's movements were slowing down as the poison began causing him more pain.

Sakura smirked at his expression, "You deserve it after all I went through just to come back here and have my revenge, you deserve every iota of pain coursing through you."

"You sound like Sasuke, Sakura," Kabuto responded his voice pained.

No matter how true the insult, she could not take being compared to that thing, "I may sound like him, but at least I'm smarter, for not letting it last for so long, and not giving it the chance to control me. Two years it took for this plan to develop, that is long enough ne?"

He didn't get a chance to respond as a bare hand sprouted from his chest, traveling straight through his heart. Death was instant.

"W-what? How did she d-do that," Tenten was in shock at what her former friend had done.

It was Neji who answered, " She powered chakra through her hand, like one would do with a weapon, and came from behind," he said watching the now redhead shake blood from her hand with childlike disgust, "Come, we need to catch her now."

When they approached, Sakura let them, they read her a list of her crimes, but she remained

un-respondent, her face betraying nothing almost as if...

"Damn it, it's a replacement," Neji's team was shocked the hear him curse, but the circumstances called for it. They had been tricked. By a genin level maneuver.

They were about the chase her when their former sensei stopped them, "No leave her be. Even if she was cleared of all charges, she wouldn't be happy hear," he said when he noticed Tenten's look, "it would be like putting a wild animal in captivity. Besides I doubt we'll be able to catch her."

His former pupils knew what he meant. Sakura would be questioned about the Akatsuki, but being so loyal she would say nothing, and eventually be put to death, even if her name was cleared.

Sasuke had lost, yet again, to his brother, both had cleared out before the ANBU could catch them. They ended up chasing the youngest, he was in worse condition, and alone, they basically ignored the older Uchiha, he would fare better with less injuries, and according to Guy's recent report, both of his partners nearby. Both fights had caused substantial damage to the village.

The medic's fight would cost them to fill in the craters from Sakura, but the Uchiha fight was worse, anyone who had gotten in the way had died. The death toll include two shinobi, seven civilians, and Kabuto.

But despite the loss the village had seen worse and instantly began repairing the damage caused by the former ninja of their village. But one person stayed in the shadows, not that he would've been seen, and he wondered, how many more of my friend's will become missing-nin, but thank you Sakura-chan I can rest easier now, and with that he who would've been the greatest Kage vanished once again.

Sakura had just caught up with the two Akatsuki when she heard a familiar loud voice thanking her.And for the first time in many years snow fell in Konoha. It seemed to radiate peace and tranquility. It sent a shiver down Sakura's spine as she followed behind Itachi and the blue man.

When she had last felt this way. She could not remember.

For the first time in what felt like to long she laughed, a full true laugh, though she did not know what was so funny, maybe it was just the light feeling the snow gave her, or a quote she had heard from Lee about walking into a sunset, as the trio was currently doing.

Or maybe it was just that her snowball had somehow found a target in both Itachi and Kisame's heads.

End

I actually dreamed of Kabuto's death, my God what a horribly inspiring dream. I also purposely avoided a lot of the fighting, I'm not good at going into that kind of detail.

Sakura seems more crazy in this chapter if you catch my drift. She is more talkative but I used that to sort of show her 'friends' she's change from the start of the story.

I hope you liked.
