"Summoning Jutsu" Jinno shouted, catching the three Shinobi off guard. A sphinx appeared with Jinno on top laughing like a maniac "How do you like it?" he asked darkly."Summoni-"Naruto was about to do a summoning jutsu, but was abruptly stopped by Sakura. "Naruto don't!" Sakura yelled.
"Why?" Naruto asked, confused. "Because Jinno has all the chakra Misao gathered, but can't control it it's unstable" Sakura explained.
"What do we do know?" Naruto asked preparing to use Rasengan. "We fight it, without using summoning jutsu, dobe" Sasuke answered.
"Tem-"All of a sudden the sphinx raised a paw at them. Sakura quickly grabbed Misao's body, and the three managed to dodge the attack. "Naruto!" Sakura called, as she tossed Misao's body to him.
"Sakura-chan, wha-" Naruto didn't finish as Sakura executed a couple of hand signs. "Twin dragon Jutsu!" Two large blue dragons appeared encasing the sphinx. In a tight hold the sphinx thrashed around causing earthquakes, Jinno cursed then got off the top of the sphinx lunging at Sakura.
"Sakura-chan, watch out!" Naruto screamed, he couldn't help her because he was carrying Misao.
Sasuke with his inhuman speed easily blocked Jinno from Sakura and punched him sending him back a few meters. Sakura was in fact having trouble containing the sphinx, as it thrashed non-stop. Sasuke activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and the sphinx was engulfed with dark flames. Once the flames disappeared the sphinx was turned to ashes. "That's Ameterasu!" Sakura thought releasing her jutsu, impressed by the Uchiha's powerful attack.
"Sakura-chan! Sasuke-teme!" Naruto yelled, running toward them with Misao in his hands. "That was awesome, i didn't know you guys could work so well together" Naruto grinned. Sakura and Sasuke just ignored him, and turned to Jinno who was coughing up blood.
"Let's finished this off" Sakura said. She threw her chained dagger at Jinno trapping him and pulling him to her, her hand started to glow a dark blue as she wasted no time in hitting his pressure points. Jinno's lifeless body lay on the ground, as she withdrew her dagger. "Whoa...Sakura-chan how did you do that?" Naruto asked amazed.
"I destroyed his pressure points" Sakura said bluntly. The sun started to rise, as they all looked at the sunrise together. "Hmmm.."Misao stirred, Naruto placed her gently on the ground, helping her sit up. "What... happened?" Misao asked weakly."It's over Misao-chan" Naruto smiled at her."Sakura-san, i don't know where to start but-"
"It's not necessary, you have a lot to make up for" Sakura said harshly, crossing her arms over her chest."I know, but i am eternally grateful to you three, especially you Sakura-san" Misao bowed her head tears visible in her eyes as they dropped to the ground. Naruto comforted Misao by talking about how to help her start over, Sasuke and Sakura just watched them.
"We should leave now" Sasuke said.
"Alright, Goodbye Misao-chan, take care now" Naruto waved goodbye. "Goodbye and thank you so much" Misao smiled waving and Sakura were already off, Naruto followed. "Hey, wait up you too!" Naruto called."Hn" Sasuke said, bored.
"Hey, Sakura-chan what's the deal with Misao-chan's brother?" Naruto asked.
"It was a year ago, when i was ordered to assassinate an organization who kidnaps and sells people as slaves, it was easy but Misao was there when i killed her brother, so it's no surprise she's out for revenge" Sakura explained.
Naruto stared at her before asking another question "You killed the whole organization..by yourself?"
Sakura look at Naruto almost amused "Yes, Naruto you need not to be surprised"
Naruto looked worriedly at her, Sasuke just listened half interested" Neh..Sakura-chan, if you ever need someone to talk to team 7 is here for you" Naruto assured.
Sakura was confused for a moment, but realized what he meant and was certainly not amused "Naruto who told you?" she asked. Naruto looked away nervously "T..told me what.. Sakura-chan..?"
Sakura narrowed her eyes at the blonde "Naruto" Sakura said sternly.
"It doesn't matter who told me Sakura-chan, what matters is that we're all here for you now" Naruto said, Sakura just sighed at her blonde team mate.
"It's all in the past Naruto, so don't worry about it" Sakura said clearly not wanting to talk about her past, almost warning Naruto to drop the topic, which Naruto reluctantly agreed to.
Back at Konoha
Tsunade was signing some documents like she always does, but she couldn't help but wonder why Sakura was so insistent about going back to the mist.
"Why would you want to go back?" Tsunade asked, confused.
"I have something i have to finish regarding my mission, Tsunade-sama" Sakura replied coolly.
"And that would be?" Tsunade asked, raising an eyebrow but when Sakura didn't reply.
"Fine, but i expect a report on this Sakura" Tsunade gave in. Sakura just nodded and left.
Tsunade thought Sakura was just worried about her teammates since they just got back, so she thought maybe it was a good idea to have told Naruto about Sakura's past. Maybe there is hope to bring the old Sakura back after all, little does Tsunade know how wrong she is.
"Baa-chan!" Naruto called, before entering through the doors along with Sasuke and Sakura. Tsunade visibly twitched "How did the mission go?" Tsunade asked, leaning forward calming down. Sakura stepped forward, and started to explain everything. Tsunade went wide eye at first but regained her composure.
"I see, well I'm glad all that's over then. You may go now" Tsunade said, leaning back to her chair, the three left without a word.
"Never have i thought that Sakura could kill in front of a civilian or rather that she would" Tsunade thought sadly.
