Chapter 10: the meeting (Sakura P.O.V.)

We had all been called to discuss some recent plans and apparently a big surprise. I had a feeling they would say we are going to get the kyuubi and take over konaha but even I wasn't sure as it could be anything.

"Thank you all for coming here now we have a very important matter to attend to I am not the real leader of the Akatsuki, the real leader is one of you"
I was hearing my name quite often among the boys but I really wanted to see their faces when it is told Madara is Tobi and leader of the Akatsuki. I was under the impression that he would get all the bijou (demon) then announce the news about Madara then get control of all the villages I knew we would probably have to use violence in some villages but it's what we have to do to get peace.

"its me" Madara announced while slowly taking off his mask smirking then he looked into my eyes and announced "I have decided I need someone powerful enough to help me that is also immortal so that is why I have decided that I will take Sakura-chan as my wife and, co-leader" I was shocked to say the least as I wasn't told anything about this but I knew it would probably be best not to say anything but I did anyway "since when am I going to be your wife, I never agreed to that and you beat me in a spar I will be your wife but if I win I don't have to be your wife fair deal?! The rules will be for the first one to get seriously injured loses" I wasn't prepared to be scarred or dead yet and i would obviously do my best and take out all the stops but I still am not 100% certain Madara would follow rules as I saw the look in his eyes and I knew he would do anything to get me as his wife. I had noticed Suigetsu watching me when I had just gone through the transformation and I knew he was scared for the first time because he could get himself to talk to me. I added him to my long list of my fan boys.

The next day

Everyone was on my side for the fight and even placed bets I had a feeling some e.g. Hidan, Deidara and Suigetsu wanted to be with me instead. Some treated me like I was their sister these were Kisame, Itachi, Sasori, Kakazu, Juugo and Zetsu. I didn't know where to put Sasuke as I had no romantic feeling towards him. I wasn't ready to fall in love or even get married. I went to my parents to see if they had any part in arranging this or if they knew anything about it I hoped they had no clue or at least knew he had feelings for me but not that he would do this.

"mum, dad please tell me you had no idea about Madara making me his bride, I'm to young to be married and I want to make a choice of who I want instead of someone else deciding for me you know that". I was almost crying when I said that because even though I was a ninja and all I was still at the end of the day a 16 year old teenage girl and when you also add in all the stuff happening it wasn't long before I just broke down to cry especially since I might be married in a few days. "Don't worry Sakura-chan your father and I would never do that trust me we had one or two hints he liked you but never any knowledge of his intentions to marry you" my mum soothingly said and it really helped and I felt ready to fight Madara except I needed to visit a certain masochistic, and sadistic person.

With Sakura and Hidan

"So you're tellin' me that you want to be a jashinist and be able to do sacrifices and shit" Hidan wasn't one for being polite but I liked that about him, he didn't care who he was with he wouldn't change who he was unless it was on a mission, or someone had threatened something dear to him what ever that could be. "Yep so wanna help or not" I wasn't as polite with him because I didn't feel like I needed to be as polite with him for some reason I didn't think of him like a brother but I didn't have any romantic feelings for him or not, but if he could teach me to be a proper jashinist and coz of my super awesome rinnegan I could probably do it be a proper one as soon as I had got into contact with jashin and he accepted me, that would be the hardest part.

Hidan had told me the best way is for him to start a sort of prayer to his god to get him to talk to me and consider taking me on as one of his main people. This wasn't just spur of the moment as I had been thinking of doing this for a while now but of course I have only just got round to coming back and I have been praying sort of to jashin but its best to pray when we have a connection. I have heard all I know from Hidan and he should be reliable as he is a serious and the most appreciated follower and if he puts in a good word from me that will be really useful and I decided it would also be useful against the fight with Madara and now would be the best time to become a proper jashinist.

I had only just started the meditation to get in contact with Jashin-sama and it wasn't long before I was spiritually in front if Jashin-sama.

"So I heard from Hidan that you want to be the most trusted female and to kill in my name. Why?" Jashin-sama said his voice oozing with power.

"Well like Hidan I am not afraid to kill someone plus I won't regret it either. I have killed before; I am very powerful and so far have never been beaten or seriously injured in a battle or spar. I can easily get a person to kill and I would kill at least one a week" I explained doing my best to seem powerful and confident because obviously in the presence of a god even someone like me can get nervous.

"You do make a very convincing argument; I agree to make you my most trusted female on one condition" he seemed to have something interesting for the condition and from the smirk on his face I could tell I probably wouldnt like it.

"What is the condition" I was still trying to do my best not to show how nervous I really was "in five years time you will become my goddess. You will get all the privileges Hidan gets if you accept the condition. You will be worshiped by the Jashinism followers" he was still smirking I would accept his condition but I would still have to chose between Hidan and Jashin-sama obviously I would deal with that problem later." I accept" short and sweet but that's all it needed to be "good I will tell Hidan about the deal and he will now train you how to properly do all the techniques"

"I opened my eyes and I saw Hidan obviously being briefed on the conversation I just had with Jashin-sama I knew he would be shocked bu could master everything by the end of the day it would come in useful for when I went against Madara tomorrow.

"Sakura-chan how could you agree to that, I wish I could be Jashin-sama at the moment he is so lucky he gets to have you with him as his goddess. I will teach you every fucking thing but keep that shit Kakazu away from me" after he said that he handed me a scythe like his but mine had cherry blossoms on the handle and partly on the blades.

The next day

I had got a little battle plan in my head. I would draw a jashinism symbol on the floor, make Madara bleed, I would ingest the blood step into the triangle and then stab myself somewhere or Madara is he was silly enough to attack me and it would be allowed as they would recognise the symbol and ritual.

The battle

I was all prepared I knew I probably didn't know as many techniques as Madara but I did have several advantages which Madara didn't. I was headed to a large spar ground in Ame as this is where the match was to be held.

"Come on Sakura/Sakura-chan" is all I could hear as I was hearing the rules being read out by my dad then I hear it "START!" my dad shouted and straight way I went to draw the symbol with some blood I collected from Itachi as he owed me a favour and I wouldn't be allowed to stab myself. I went into a defensive stance and looked in Madara's eyes and said "prepare to lose and get your ass kick by a girl" and I went behind him quicker than any eye could see even sharingan and my dad's rinnegan would have seen a blur. I turned my byakugan on to look at the best places to attack and disable his chakra. I found it and striked as hard as I could and it was fast which caused him to spit out blood and I took out my scythe and caught the blood on the blade. I then licked it off.

I had put Madara is the strongest genjutsu I knew and he had been caught off guard but he quickly got out of the genjutsu but it gave me enough time to ingest the blood and he was about to attack me but didn't realise what I had done as I was already in the black and white form and my hair turned black but my eyes turned white. I was about to stab myself when Madara had realised what I was going to do and…

… He was too late as I had stabbed myself in the arm. Straight after I did that I stepped out of the circle and took the blade out. I did this just to make sure Madara didn't get healed also and I shouted "I have won the battle I am now the leader of the Akatsuki and I'm sorry Madara but I couldn't be your wife anyway as I made a deal with Jashin-sama to be his goddess and I will be worshiped by the followers this was in exchange for me being his most trusted female worshiper" I had proclaimed to everyone and lets just say they were shocked to say the least I often heard "why the hell did you do that" even "what the fuck" and my mum came upto me and said "I only want you to be happy and if you are happy with that deal, your father and I will support you. Now that your leader I suggest we get everyone together and surprise attack konaha in the night" my mum and dad always were supportive and I was very glad they still were.
