Chapter 9:
After an hour of searching sakura, the boys were getting frustrated.
"Damn it! How can we lose sakura again!?" said naruto, Kakashi sent his dogs out to see if they could find sakura with her scent of her shirt.
"Any luck yet Kakashi?" sasuke asked.
"No not yet." kakashi shook his head.
Suddenly the ground begins to shake.
"What the?! Did you guys feel that?" naruto asked the two.
"It might be sakura" said sasuke, the dogs came back to Kakashi informing him that they found sakura.
"Naruto, Sasuke, we got her! Let's go!" said Kakashi as the dogs led them to her.
Meanwhile, madara and rouge are fighting and sakura still can't believe that madara also survived the fall.
'How is it possible? Did they know about this?' sakura thought. Suddenly sakura felt a very cold chill running up her body,
'What is this feeling? There's someone else here….'
sakura stood up and tried to follow where the cold chill was coming from.
"Why are you doing this to her?" madara asked while attacking Rouge,
"Oh come on, like you don't know? You were there the whole time! I should be asking why you guys abandoned me?!"
Rouge asked angrily as he threw madara to the ground.
"I've been looking for you but you kept on running away!" madara said while throwing fire at him.
Rouge dodge his attacks and suddenly he just stood there smirking. Madara turned around and saw sakura walking towards the dark shadow. But madara notice something was wrong and without thinking he hurried towards sakura and pull her away from the shadow. Sakura gasp, "Let me go!" said sakura as she's trying to apart from him.
"Are you stupid? Are you trying to die?" madara yelled at her, Sakura was taken back
"Huh?! What the hell is wrong with you? Why did you pulled me away?" sakura yelled back.
When out of nowhere a dark minister laugh was heard in the shadow, both madara and sakura turn their attention to the shadow.
"I see you're here, Naraku." said Rouge.
A tall, black hair, pale man with black eyes approach out of the shadow.
"Well, well look who you finally caught Rouge."
Sakura couldn't stop shaking, 'Why am I so scared of this man?' madara noticed her shaking 'tsked' he thought.
"Sakura!"
Sakura heard naruto's voice, "Naruto?!" she responded.
'Ahh great more idiots.' madara thought as he sigh.
"Sakura! I'm so glad you're okay-" naruto stop and was shocked at what he was seeing.
"You got to be fucking kidding me…." said sasuke angrily about to attack madara but Kakashi stopped him.
"We're not the only one here sasuke." said Kakashi as he points out naraku.
"Who the fuck are you?" said naruto.
"You guys be careful! There's something evil about him!" sakura warned them.
Naraku begins to laugh.
"Rouge why don't you entertained our new guest." he order him. Naruto turns his attention to Rouge.
"What the hell did you want Sakura-chan for?" said naruto. "That's not your concern."
Rouge glared at him and went full speed towards them.
The battle begins between team 7 and Rouge while madara and sakura, who hasn't moved from her fear inside her body, are against naraku.
"Sakura get behind me." madara said.
She was surprised that madara was going to protect her but she didn't question him instead she obeyed and silently observed them. Madara couldn't help but let out a secretly smirked.
"Alright, shall we play?" naraku smirked.
Madara didn't hesitated and first attacked him but naraku easily blocked his attack and knock him out of the way.
"You haven't improved much, madara." said naraku.
'He easily blocked him!?' sakura was taken back.
"Now then," said naraku
turning his attention to Sakura, "I've been waiting for you my dear" said naraku.
Sakura glared at him, ignoring the fact that she was scared, and attacked him with her fist. Sakura managed to push naraku back and left a bruise on him,
'Alright!'
she cheered for herself.
"You know, it's a shame that he had to block your memories." said naraku.
Knocking sakura against the wall. "He?"
she said confused, naraku smirked.
"Oh my, you even block her memories of you? Ahaha this is just keep getting better and better!" said naraku laughing. Madara fired up and attacked naraku, this time madara managed to hit him.
While the three of them fought, team 7 was having a hard time dealing with Rouge.
"You sure are one tough kid! But I'm still gonna defeat you!" Said naruto trying to catch his breath. Sasuke use his chidori but Rouge dodge it,
"Why were you after sakura? And what does that guy wants from sakura and madara?" sasuke asked.
"Like I said…" blowing a fire attack on them,
"It doesn't concern you. As for naraku, let's just say they got something he needs." said Rouge. Time has passed and neither of them could defeat the other. Naraku looked up the sky,
"Rouge time to go."
Sakura looked at the same direction as he and she noticed something strange up in the sky. "Sakura look out!" madara warned her.
Sakura quickly return her focus onto the battlefield but it was too late, naraku manage to cut, with his sword, her left side stomach. 'Fuck!'
sakura looked up and saw naraku was about to stab her but then Rouge stopped him.
"That's enough, we need to go." he said to him.
Naraku glance at sakura and before disappearing with Rouge he warned her,
"This won't be the last time you'll see me, Sakura."
Once they were gone, she lets out a big sigh,
'I need to quickly heal this and heal my friends." she thought.
Madara glances over to Sakura and lets out a small sigh and before he could escape, Kakashi caught him.
"Oh no you're not escaping this time, madara."
Kakashi said as he handcuffs him, madara tsked at him.
"Are you okay sakura?"
Sasuke said checking if she has any injuries. Sakura laughed, "You do know I can heal myself ? And I should be the one asking you that."
Sasuke kissed sakura on her cheek.
"I'm fine, but I think dobe isn't." he said.
Madara saw sasuke kiss sakura and quickly turn away
"Hn."
Kakashi was surprised at his reaction,
'Hmm..?'
"Hey ! I'm fine too! I don't even got a single scratch-ouch!" said naruto pretending to be fine. "Alright let me see, where does it hurt?" said sakura as she examined his injuries.
