Promised Me: Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I own nothing!

It was a day that nobody wanted too face or even think of. After all the missions, battles and war that they faced, it always seemed to happen. A nut job group of lunatics appears and starts a battle that leads to war. Sakura stood ready for anything a top the hospital roof; watching and waiting for the moment it all comes crashing down.

"Forehead, what are you doing here? Mikoto is looking for you, Meme says her chest feels strange and won't see a medic! Maybe you can get her to see one. Like you perhaps?" Ino was out of breath and her normally perfect ponytail was a mess.

Without a word Sakura vanished in a plume of smoke with a note saying 'Breathe'.

"Meme! What's on, we have a war starting soon and you're trying to have a heart attack!" couldn't e how stubborn one sweet little lady could be.

"I'm sorry dear but it's nothing. With everything happening I didn't need Kohona's best field medic worrying about me. You're a busy woman with the up coming battle." Meme didn't see what all the fuss was about old ladies feel old and just need a rest.

Sakura stared into space for a moment before her hand glowed emerald green and placed it on Meme's chest. Five minutes had passed until Sakura removed her hand.

"You were having minor heart attack Meme, if Into wasn't able to find me it was only going to progress to the point where it could have made you seriously sick or worse. When I come home tonight I'll give you a proper look over and give you medication to help your heart Meme." With that Sakura vanished.

Barely an hour had passed and Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura were standing in front of Tsunade.

"You for are going to be the heavy hitters and targets for the battle to come. For now train, stay together and be one the look out. Nothing is more important than you four to be ready. This moment on you are not to leave the village or any missions, you are all targets so let's not take any chances. Dismissed and go train."

Tsunade looked at those who stood before and felt aweful. Itachi witnessed the attack of the nine tails, the invasion of Orochimaru and subsequent war because of that invasion and now a war for their power and skills. Itachi for his mastery of the sharingan and skill as a ninja, Sasuke for the chakra that flowed in his bodyvand the jutsu he could wield, Ino for her ability to use certain techniques that even the most experienced of her clan couldn't use them without dying and Sakura with a bloodline that many have killed to obtain. Sadness swept over her every time this generation started to live as normally as ninja can and find love war, pain, loss and nightmares appear. Poor but night is always darker before the dawn and these kids by hell or high water were they going do back down.

Orochimaru had picked the wrong village to fight for they fight hardest when fighting for their family and this villages ninja force were united as a family. You can't fight, sweat and bleed without developing an unshakable bond.
