CHAPTER TEN
Hinata glared at the people on the roof her hands were itching to use her jutsu's on them
"Stupid root ninja." she muttered angrily as she stood straight up from training
Hinata wiped the sweat of her forehead from training her eyes were still straining her she hasn't told Sakura yet that or even about how Danzo came to her with an apprenticeship all she knows is how there's root ninja watching her clan
"They're not going to stop." said a new voice behind her
Hinata spun around aiming a kick at the person's head but her foot was caught
"So cruel Hinata." said the person with fake hurt in her voice as she moved a strand of pink hair in her face while letting the foot go
Hinata smiled
"Sakura-chan." Hinata said smiling at her captain who was grinning
Sakura was wearing a white jacket over a red long sleeve shirt with a white circle on it she had black pants on and black boots on she had her sword over her back
"They are annoying right Hinata?" Sakura asked as she looked at the root ninja on the roofs and around the compound hinata nods continuing her way through the house with Sakura behind her Sakura's eyes narrowed as she looked around the place she couldn't sense who was the biggest threat out of all of them she knew there was something
"Sakura?" called Hinata from her room
Sakura looked at Hinata questionably
"I'm going to take a shower. You can wait here or you can leave and I'll meet you soon at your place." Hinata said
Sakura nods
"I'll see you at my place."
{+}
Sakura walked around the village she felt good to be out of that hospital but she still had a hard time of thinking why Danzo would have his root ninja watch the Hyuga clan that never happened in her time
"Ohayo Sakura."
Sakura jumped at the new voice
"What's wrong Sakura? You never do that."
Sakura looked behind her to see her sensei
"Just deep in thought Kakashi."
Kakashi frowned at her
"What happened?" he asked with concern
Sakura looked up at him and sighed
"Danzo is up to something sensei." Sakura said
Kakashi slowly nods taking that in he knew of Danzo in her time and how manipulative he can be and how far he will go into getting something that will benefit him and not the others
"And what do you think he is up to Sakura?" Kakashi asked low so Sakura can hear him and hopefully nobody else
Sakura started to walk again with Kakashi next to her "I don't know Kakashi but I do have a plan if you will like to be in it?" Sakura asked with Kakashi next to her
Kakashi nods
"I will like to be in the plan Sakura." Kakashi said pulling his book out to read
Sakura shook her head
"Fine Kakashi meet me at my home in an hour no later if your late let's just say you will have to buy a new book collection okay sensei?" Sakura said smiling at the now frozen Kakashi
Kakashi nods slowly
Sakura grinned
"Bye."
{+}
Sakura glanced at Haku seeing him put his forehead protector on
"So you're a chunin now."
Haku nods at her
"Yes Sakura-chan I am going to meet the hokage to get a mission." Haku said looking at her
Sakura nods
"Do you need some food for tonight I can make something for you and I to share." Haku suggested
Sakura shook her head
"I might not be home again tonight." Sakura said placing her hands on the side of her head
Haku shook his head
"Sakura-chan every time you said that you always end up in the hospital always injured." Haku said looking at Sakura still
Sakura looked down
"I know I need to get stronger." Sakura muttered but Haku heard it
Haku shook his head
"It's not that you need to get stronger it's that you need to take a break and let your body recover without healing it." Haku said arms folded
Sakura sighs
"I know Haku." Sakura muttered
Haku shook his head as he continue to the door
"I'll see you later sakura."
"Till then Haku."
Sakura heard the door open and close
Sakura leaned back on the couch she was tired and exhausted still but before she could sleep there was a knock on the door she got up
"Come in its open."
The door opened again to reveal hinata walking in with a pale Kakashi behind her who was clutching his book to his chest
Sakura snickered at him as the door shuts behind him
"So what are we going to do about you know who?" Hinata asked
Sakura nods performing hand signs
"Silent dome jutsu!" Sakura muttered as the walls turn pink
Kakashi looked at them questionably
Sakura stared at him
"To make sure nobody hears this." she answered his unvoiced question
Kakashi nods while sitting in a chair still clutching his book
Hinata sat on the couch followed by Sakura
"What about Danzo?" Hinata asked
Sakura looked at her
"I believe our suspicions have been confirmed Hinata." Sakura said running a hand through her hair
Hinata nods clenching his fist in anger
"How? We were so secretive." Hinata said her eyes down cast
Sakura glanced at her
"I know I don't know how this happened but he found out." she said glaring at the ground
Kakashi looked at both of them
"What do you mean?" he asked
Sakura glanced at him
"Danzo knows we're from the future and now he has root watching us." Sakura said
Kakashi stiffened
"What do you want to do?"
Sakura looked up at him she had a plan but didn't know if he will go with it
"Kakashi will you help us?"
Kakashi nods
"I will help you Sakura."
Sakura nods
"I need you to sneak into roots base and spy on him if I know Danzo he will try to kidnap us and torture us and if he can't get the information out of us he will want to kill us I need your help Kakashi." Sakura said
Kakashi's eyes narrowed he won't let Danzo get his hands on them no matter what he has to do
"I will."
Sakura nods
"Hinata I need you to be careful for now on." Sakura said slightly worried for her
Hinata nods grinning
"Don't worry about me I'll be okay! Promise!" Hinata said giving her a thumbs up
Sakura smiled at her
"You are just like Naruto."
Hinata blushes
"He is my husband in our time."
Kakashi's eyes widen
"Yes Kakashi she is Hinata Uzumaki."
Hinata nods
"Kakashi when is the chunin exams?" Sakura asked
Kakashi looked at her
"Soon I was going to nominate our team for it in a couple days."
Sakura nods
"Good its settled when we are going to the chunin exams you are going to spy on danzo and report back to us after the second exam the forest of death." Sakura said her eye darkening at the mention of the forest of death
Kakashi nods to her
"I'll get ready." he said disappearing into smoke
Sakura turned to hinata
"Be careful and I mean it if he is after us I don't want to be worried about you."
Hinata chuckled
"I don't want to be worried about you Sakura-chan you are the most valuable person here if Danzo hurts you who knows what could happen you're powerful and are a container if something happens to you Sakura then the demon can be released upon this village you are the most in danger." Hinata said eyeing her
Sakura cursed at realization how could she forget? Danzo can threaten her by extracting the tailed beast out of her or giving her to the akatsuki
"I will be as careful as I can be Hinata I can't let them have neko no matter what." Sakura said while placing a hand over the seal on her stomach it was not visible but when she is in a weak state it becomes visible
Hinata stared at her sadly
"Sakura-chan?"
Sakura smiled at her
"Hinata after the chunin exams and bringing Tsunade back I'm taking Naruto with me to Turtle Island."
Hinata raised an eyebrow
"Why?" Hinata asked
Sakura sighs
"Kurama needs to be tamed to take down Madara so will mine." Sakura pointed out
Hinata nods
"You're right but I will be going too." Hinata said
Sakura shook her head
"No Hinata this does not concern you." Sakura stated her eyes never leaving hinatas
Hinata shook her head at sakuras lame statement "So you are my friend! He is my husband and lover!" Hinata said defiantly
Sakura rubbed her temples
"I don't need this right now." Sakura muttered
Hinata stood up and stomped to the door "Fine! Goodbye Sakura!" Hinata hissed in anger as she slammed the door shut behind her
Sakura stared at the door dropping the jutsu
{+}
Hinata walked around the village
"Hinata!"
Hinata turned around to be met with a panting Kiba and Akamaru
"Yes Kiba-kun?"
Kiba grinned at her
"Hinata we were thinking…" Hinata raised an eyebrow at his shyness "Do you want to get something to eat?" he asked
Hinata stared at him
"Kiba…..are you asking me out?"
Kiba blushed and nods
Hinata frowned
"I'm sorry Kiba but I'm with Naruto but we can go get a bite as friends but nothing more."
Kiba frowned at her
"What's so good about him?" Kiba hissed in rising anger
Hinata glared at him she was in no mood first with the argument with sakura and now this hell no!
"I love him Kiba if you can't except that then we should stop being friends!" she hissed in anger as her fist were clenched at her side
Kiba stared at her taken back of how she reacted
"Goodbye Inuzuka." she hissed walking in another direction
{+}
Sakura stared at the wall she had the feeling she was being watched again but didn't care she snapped at Hinata for no reason what was going on with her? Sakura bowed her head letting her bangs cover her eyes
"What have I done?" she muttered
'You'll be okay! Hinata will forgive you in no time you just want to protect her like she wants to too.'
Sakura didn't respond to Inner as she stood up she needed fresh air Sakura walked to her closet and pulled out a black jacket with the haruno symbol on it
Sakura sighed
{+}
A couple days passed by Hinata and Sakura haven't talked that much
Naruto grinned
"Sakura-chan let's get ramen and catch up I need to talk to you about something." he said
Sakura nods
"See ya Sasuke."
Sasuke walked away in another direction as Naruto leads Sakura to the ramen shop
{+}
Naruto twitched as he sees from the corner of his eye Konohamaru trying to sneak up on him Naruto turned around to stare at the spot Konohamaru was hiding at and pointed at it
"I know your there! That's pathetic i could do better!"
Konohamaru fell on the ground grinning
"That's my boss sharp as ever!" he said while standing up
Naruto just twitched more
Konohamaru looked at the calm Sakura staring at him with bored eyes "Hey boss is that your girlfriend she's pretty." Konohamaru said looking at Sakura
Naruto shook his head
"No she is just a friend I like someone else."
Konohamaru eyes widen
"Maybe she'll go out with me!"
Sakura twitch and punched Konohamaru on the head
"Ow!" he clutched the bump on his head staring at sakura with tears in his eyes "I take it back she's a monster!"
Sakura growled
"Run little boy!" she hissed
Konohamaru ran with Naruto and Sakura following him
{+}
Konohamaru fell back on the ground by running into someone
"Ow that hurt kid." said a male
Konohamaru looked up to see a boy he wore a black, baggy, full body suit with a red and yellow circle on the front. He also wears a black hood which covered his head completely, and had cat-like ears and his forehead protector on his forehead he was looking down at him Konohamaru flinched when he picked him up by the scarf around his neck
"I hate kids." the unknown guy said
"Hey put him down!" Naruto yelled
The unnamed guy looked at Naruto
"He ran into me he needs to pay."
Sakura's eyes narrowed in slits
"Put the kid down or else I will hurt you sand ninja this is not your village you harm a citizen from this village I will be forced to hurt you and I won't care this is my village and I will protect its people." Sakura said walking forward her katana being pulled out of its sheath glimmering in the sunlight
The girl next to him
"Kankuro stop he will be mad." the girl whispered to him
Kankuro looked at her but before he can say anything a pebble hit his hand making him drop Konohamaru
"What the hell." he hissed looking to where the pebble came to see none other than Sasuke
Sasuke stared at them from his spot on the tree
"Picking on kids? How pathetic." he said crushing a pebble in his hand
Kankuro glared at him
"Great more kids to piss me off." he hissed as he reached for the puppet behind him
The girl looked shocked
"Are you going to use crow…?" she questioned but before he can respond a cold distant voice reached their ears
"Kankuro stop."
All heads snap to the other tree branch on the tree sasuke is sitting in to see a male he had a kanji for love on his forehead no eyebrows he had pale skin a gourde on his back filled with sand a suna headband on him he had red spikey hair his eyes were emotionless
"G-gaara!" the both said in fear
Gaara ignored them and looked at everyone else
"I'm sorry for their rudeness."
Sakura nods
"It's okay." she responded back to him
Gaara nods
"Gaara they started it!" Kankuro defended himself
Gaara glared at him
"Shut up or I'll kill you."
Kankuro paled
"Yes Gaara." he muttered
Gaara appeared next to them in sand the three sand shinobi turn to walk away but Sasuke stopped them by calling out to Gaara
"Hey what's your name?"
The girl turned around and blushed
"Who? Me?" she asked hopeful
Sasuke shook his head
"No with the gourde." Sasuke pointed out
Gaara turned around
"Gaara no Subaku I'm also interested in you and the pink haired girl." Gaara said his eyes landing on her
Sakura stared at him while putting her sword away her eyes emotionless
"Sasuke Uchiha."
Gaara nods to him his eyes never leaving Sakura's still
"Sakura Haruno."
Gaara nods to her
"I bet you want to know my name right!?" Naruto said grinning
Gaara stared at him
"I could care less." he said walking away
Naruto pouted
"It's always about Sasuke!"
{+}
Team seven waited on the bridge like they always do
"Where is Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto yelled
Sakura glanced at him
"Late like always Naruto." Sakura muttered under her breath
Naruto looks at her
"You say something Sakura-chan?"
Sakura shook her head
Naruto shrugged but soon became serious
"Sakura-chan may I ask you something?" Naruto asked his eyes never leaving hers
Sakura stared at him wondering what got him all serious
"Go ahead." Sakura said
Naruto nods
"What happened between you and Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked concern that his two female friends are fighting
Sakura looked away not feeling like talking now
"I don't want to talk about it Naruto it's none of your concern why we're fighting." Sakura said looking up at the sky
Naruto kept his eyes on her
"It has to do with my friends!" Naruto pushed on hoping to get something out of her
Sakura looked back at him
"We just have a disagreement Naruto." Sakura said staring at him bored
Naruto crossed his arms
"What was it about?"
Sakura looked away again
"None of your business."
Naruto huffed in anger
"Hello my lovely students!" a new voice said above them
The three look up at to see Kakashi perched on the bridge
"You're late!" Naruto yelled
Kakashi smiled
"Sorry I got lost on the path of life."
Naruto twitched
"Liar!"
Kakashi jumped down taking out three slips
"I have entered you three in the chunin exams it will begin in five days so prepare your self's you three it will be difficult."
The two males nod while Sakura sighed
"Now bye!"
They all watch as Kakashi disappeared
"Hey wait what's a chunin exam?" Naruto asked as he turned to Sakura only to find her gone
Naruto looked around
"Sakura-chan!"
{+}
Sakura sighed as she arrived at the memorial stone she knew Kakashi would be here mourning the loss of his teammates and sensei
"Kakashi."
Kakashi jumped at not noticing her
"Sakura I didn't sense you." he said shockingly still even though he knows she surpassed him
Sakura walked up next to him
"I have perfect chakra control sensei."
Kakashi nods
"You're right." he said looking back at his teammates names
Sakura looked at the name he was mostly looking at
Obito uchiha
Sakura stiffened at that name
"Sensei…." she said
Kakashi looked down at her
"Yes?"
Sakura clenched her fist at a memory
Sakura placed Kakashi's arm around her shoulders helping him walk with his injuries
"We need to hurry up Kakashi." Sakura said moving faster
Kakashi could only nod
"Don't push yourself Sakura you only just became jounin." he said tiredly
Sakura snorted at that
"Look at yourself sensei…." Sakura trailed off reminding him off his injuries
Kakashi chuckled as she helped him rest on a rock
"Sensei let me heal you now." Sakura said putting her hands over a deep gash on his chest
Kakashi chuckled
"Y-you know you can stop calling me sensei we're both jounin now." he said smiling
Sakura smiled at him but it soon came off when she sensed more enemy ninja enter the area
"An attack? But it's to soon." Sakura muttered
Kakashi pushed her hands away
"Save your chakra for the fight." Kakashi said standing up ignoring the pain in his chest
Sakura stared at him but soon coughed up blood
Kakashi stared at her sadly
"Sakura…" he said placing a hand on her shoulder
Sakura looked up at her wiping her chin of the blood
"Y-yes?"
Kakashi shook his head
"Stay out of this your disease is getting to you." he said
Sakura shook her head
"I have to help."
Kakashi was about to make a comment put that's when they both hear a ninja scream
"They're coming!"
The two stare as the Zetsu's come but there was a chakra that was weird it was stronger then the Zetsu
Kakashi's eyes widen he knew this chakra
"Impossible."
Sakura glanced at him
"What is it Kakashi?"
"This chakra it's….it's…." Kakashi couldn't finish his sentence when a male that looked Kakashi's age came up half his fast was wrecked like something fell on it he had one sharingan eye the other a rinnegan eye he was staring right at Kakashi
Sakura's eyes widen when she heard her sensei speak
"Obito."
"…akura….sakura!"
Sakura jumped at the voice
"What Kakashi?"
Kakashi stared at her worriedly
"You were spacing out I was trying to get you attention." he said worried
Sakura sighs
"Sorry I was j-"
Kakashi cut her off with a raise of his hand
"You were thinking about the past weren't you?"
Sakura nods
Kakashi traces his dead teammate's names
"You need to let go of it sakura and move on. This is your new future you can changed everything." he said to her
Sakura smiled
"Kakashi take your own advice and move on none of them would want you to keep holding on to the past their deaths were not your fault believe me Kakashi they don't want you to blame yourself of their deaths." Sakura said to him she knew how he felt she watched her teammates deaths and sensei's death she blamed herself for all of them she may have caused one but she still blamed herself for Sasuke's death
Kakashi looked down at her and placed his hand on her shoulder giving her his one eyed smile
"Thank you Sakura I know that I need to stop but it's difficult with the dreams." he whispered
Sakura stared at him sadly
"I know how you feel I have dreams all the time about them at first I blamed myself but with the help of the people around me they showed me that it wasn't my fault and that I needed to get stronger." Sakura said her eyes suddenly finding the two names that made her heart hurt
Saki Haruno
Kazu Haruno
Sakura shook her head
'Okaa-san, otou-san I will make you proud.'
Kakashi followed her stare
"Your parents?"
Sakura glanced at him and nods
"Yes. They died when I was younger I miss them a lot."
Kakashi nods
"I also miss my father did I ever tell you about him?" Kakashi asked his lone eye looking down at her
Sakura nods
"Hai…Sakumo Hatake was a proud man Kakashi. He gave up his mission to go back and save his comrade even though everyone treated him as an outcast he was a hero it was a shame that he killed himself…..but he has shown a lot of people that comrades come before the mission."
Kakashi smiled and ruffled Sakura's hair
"Come on I'll go get you some dango and tea."
Sakura smiled at him a real one
Kakashi continued forward making sure Sakura followed soon
Sakura looked back at the KIA stone remembering everyone she lost Sakura turned around and followed after Kakashi not looking back at the stone knowing if she did memories will rise
