A/N: and here's one more earlier for my fans... :)


"Ramen!!!" young Uzumaki Naruto ran as fast as he could to get to Ichiraku's for his dose of ramen. Yeah he knew he was boring everyone because of it, but who cares, it's good, and no one could deny it. After all it was not his fault for lovin' it so much..

As he ran, he thought he saw for a moment a familiar figures, so he stoped;maybe it was Sakura...'Mhm, Sakura-chan..I miss her sooo much...I haven't seen her for a while..maybe I can get her to buy me some ramen..hehe'..

As he walked and got nearer to the figures, they became more and more clear. And he was not pleased. It was Kiba and Shino speaking something in quiet.

Not wanting them to interupt him and take him away from his food, he turned around and started walking away, hoping they won't see him..

"Hey Naruto!"...Kiba was heard.. 'damn..I just don't have luck..' slowly he turned around for a quick wave, but he had a feeling it won't be.

"Really, you show in village after 5 months gone training, and now you act like you don't see as...shame on you"..of course that was good old Kiba;always complaining about him.

"Ah, it's not true Kiba, I saw you two talking, and I didn't want to interupt. And I was in a hurry for ramen, you know, the hotter, the better"...wide smile was on his face, because afer all he was glad to see them after so much time. But something passed unseen by Naruto;as he mentioned their speech both Shino and Kiba looked at each other. They still didn't know what happened to Sakura, and where is she at all. After the meeting they had with the Hokage, she went home earlier with an excuse, and later on they found out that she ran from her home, her mother was unconscious , her father looked like he saw a ghost. Almost everyone that knew Sakura was worried, especially Kiba, being her best friend and all, but no one knew why? Why did she ran? Where is she? And why the hell Tsunade told them to stay away from her, and that she was a monster?...it didn't make sense...And on top of it all, Hokage sent ANBU to search for her. Strange, and now they didn't know what to tell Naruto.

"Don't make excuses Naruto. You did it on purpose..But we are used to it..so.." Shino just shrugged like it didn't matter.

"hehe..Dattebayo! Hey anyways, have you seen Sakura-chan?I want to give her something I bought for her..." silence....

They glanced at each other quickly before Kiba decided to speak.

"No, Naruto. We just returned from a mission, and we didn't have time..." it was better for Tsunade to tell him, because if he goes mad, it will be hard to stop him not to look for her alone.

"Yeah, and by the way Naruto, you better go to see Hokage before ramen. I think she mentioned something about wanting to tell you some stuff." Shino continued for his teammate.

"Oh..Ok..Demo guys.. is everything ok? You look strange.."

"of course...now go to see Hokage as soon as you can, we have to go...bye"..and they disappeard leaving naruto dumbfound....

'hn..well it got to be jealousy..I am soo good, that they can't watch me. And Kiba, what's up with him, he has to know Sakura whereabouts..Che, he's allways around her..He and Shino are acting strange...

Hmm, now where were I?..Oh yeah..Hokage..ahhh man, well Ichiraku has to wait..' and he left.

" ..your not alone, together we stand..

I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand..

...When it gets cold,and it feels like the end..There's no place to go,you know I won't give in..

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe.

Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny,

Keep holding on, cause you know we'll make it through......

...Just stay strong, cause you know I'm here for you....

There's nothing you can say, nothing you can do..

...There's no other way when it comes to the truth...

So, keep holding on...." silent voice was singing a song deep within the woods. Sakura was singing a song, that her mother used to sing to her when she couldn't fall asleep. And not only then..She heard it milion times before. When she couldn't pass her chunin exam, when everyone laughed at her..that song ment a lot to her..

And now, it wasn't doing it's trick. It only made her heart break more;it was making her go insane...

As she walked slowly her look was fixed on the path before her, she wasn't thinking about anything special, she just wanted to get it over, everything...

Suddenly she tripped on a stone and fell on dirty ground, getting herself all in mud and filth..

Tears started forming in her eyes, she had it enough. Rising to her knees, she looked at the sky, rain was starting to fall more and more, but everything was a bird could be heard, not a peep. So as the rain fell, she sat there and her village, her parents, friends, Itachi...

What will she do doesn't have home anymore, she left everyone that loved her ;if it could be called love.. and now, there's nowhere left to go, nothing left to do...

She still couldn't believe what she did to Itachi;to stab him like that, and what was even more weirder, he let her do it..

'oh god, please help me...I can't see no way out from this tunel I'm in..'

A thought came to her mind. What will all of them say about her..Naruto...will he hate her now, because of who she is? Kiba...she has hurt him so much, and she didn't even say sorry...God what was she thinking..

'you had right, they called us a monster... no, I didn't have to do that to them... yes, you did, and there is no way back... now we have to embrace what we have...our gift... but, I...I can n 't do, it.... oh yes...you can...' she felt like she was going to explode; inside her head, like a thousand voices were ripping her apart. Yes she was sorry for it, mostly for her father because he raised her up, give her everything, but he lied...she just can't forgive him...

But yet she felt like they were right, the voices...That she should embrace her new power, her new life... Nothing is going to be same from now on; she willingly chose to stab Itachi, so as to run away from her village. Maybe Orochimaru was right... maybe she deserves a change;and she sure wanted a change... but maybe...

He is making her join him so that he can use her like Sasuke..she knows that very well, but she is not going to let that happen. A smirk found it's way on her face...

No more crying, no more sadness..

She raised herself from the ground with the look of determination, her fists tightly clenched, ready for action, as she gazed at the raining sky...

"New life...Here I come...Shannaro!"

BOOM

"Tsunade baachan...what is it so important that couldn't wait for me to take my ramen?"..Naruto yelled as he entered Hokage's office. And oh the sight he saw. First when he opened the door, he noticed that he was not alone... The office was practically full, so as he entered he managed to hit someone in the back, which was by the way ANBU member..

'Kakashi sensei, Yamato taichou, Sai, Gai sensei, Neji, ANBU, even pervy sage is here...what the is going on here..are we under attack?'..Naruto silently asked himself, 'cause he was too shocked to speak...although he was wishing that it is some sort of an action.. he needed it after 5 months of training...

"Close the door Naruto and come in"...cold voice of Tsunade diturbed him in a second. She was never like that unless it was something big, and what mad Naruto even more nervous was the fact that everyone in the room was watching him;like he did something wrong.

Closing the door, he steped in the room, until he got in the middle of it.

"Hokage sama, will you be the one, or shall I?" Kakashi asked..He too found out hours ago, when he returned from his mission. He was in mist with Yamato and Sai, so when they returned, they had a suprise waiting for them. He was shocked, at first, because he didn't know anything about Sakura, and he was a little angry at his Hokage for not telling him earlier, and possibly preventing something like this to happen. He just hoped Naruto will not go crazy...He prefered it anyways Hokage to tell him, she was the one that told him, so why not to Naruto...

The rest of the team that was gathered here, also knows the truth, and that was it. No one else was to know...They had to think a most easier way to bring her back.

Tsunade seemed like in thought for a moment before she answered..

"No Kakashi...I shall..So let's get this over..Naruto?"...

Naruto was officialy lost. All of the shinobie finest in Konoha were summoned, and alone with him, and now, Tsunade wanted to tell him something.. This wasn't something about the village..it was something personal... but what..

"Get over with what, Tsunade baa? What is going on, will you tell me already?" of course that was the Naruto they thought it would be..always rushing into stuff...

"Naruto don't rush...we shall tell you but before that, you need to stay calm no matter what Tsunade say now...even if it is personal...understand?" Jiraya tried to focus the kid on this..it was serious subject, and he must keep it calm..

"So it is personal-" Naruto was now pointing finger at Tsunade accusingly "-I knew it..what is going on? Is it Sasuke?You found him...tell me now!" he demanded, while everyone in the room had killing look in their eyes...Why can't he just be normal for once..

Tsunade was starting to become annoyed, because of the boys inpatience..how does he manage to lose his temper every time...

"No, Naruto...it's not about Sasuke...it's more about Sakura..."...'alright Tsunade, be straight to it, maybe you wont have to put up with him that much'...Tsunade thought...

"Sakura? What happened to Sakura chan?"... the look on Naruto's face was suddenly serious. Is that why everyone's here? What could happen to her...

"Now listen to me carefully, this is serious... And don't say a word until I finish with talking...and that is an order...Do you understand?"...

Naruto gave a simple nod with his head, he was to scared about this, he had a feeling that it is not good...Tsunade inhaled and exhaled deeply before she started..

"Something serious happened, you may have gotten to that conclusion yourself... The thing is about Sakura, and you see...There is something no one knew about her, I mean no one exept a few... She is not what you think she is..-" Tsunade gave him a moment to understand what she tried to say, because the look he gave her was like are you insane thing...

"-I mean she is Sakura, and all, but not Haruno... what I am trying to say is that she is not a true Haruno clan member."

"What?!" everyone looked at Naruto in disbelief.

"Are you saying that you brough me here, along with rest of finest shinobies only for that?..C'mon baachan, haha this is … I was for a moment really scared..but this...phew.." yeah, now everyone sweat dropped.... The boy was one of a kind..

"NARUTO! Didn't I tell you not to interupt me?! I am not finished..." and yes, he managed to piss her even more than she is already; so he just decided to be silent until she gave him permision to speak; either that, or he gets pummeled through the wall...

"Now, you know only a half of the stuff I want to tell you.. So as I told you she is not of Haruno's...or from this village..I mean she is,kind of. Well precisely, she is brought in clan as little, but her true parents, are...Orochimaru, and her mother we still don't know anything, but by the facts she was strong shinobie.."... Naruto's mouth was wide open as his eyes...he didn't understand a word..how could this happen...to even be possible...

"Now, she found out, and she ran from the village; we don't know anything about her location, or her further plans. I have sent an ANBU team, but still no trace of her. I gathered you all here because we need all the strenght we have to bring her back. She's hurt and angry, and not rationaly thinking... I hope you can understand and help." that is were she stopped.

Naruto looked blankly at the floor, not being able to exept what Tsunade just told him.

'Sakura chan..h h-ow..' His sensei looked at him sadly..he knew how much he loved Sakura; and he couldn't imagine how painfull this is to him.. First Sasuke and now his other teammate.. Those two were like a family he never had, a brother and sister. But he will help him to get them both back.

"We will bring her back Naruto, don't worry.." Kakashi tried to confort him, but he apparently didn't manage to bring out that his fighting spirit . He just bowed his head and closed his eyes;single tear rolled across his cheek, and fell to the ground...

"Naruto..you can speak now.." Jiraya told him, trying to get the boy to speak. But Naruto only noded his head, to give them the sign that he knows, but do not wishes to say a word..This was too much. With his head still bowed, he turned around and left the room...

Everyone exchanged glances.

"Orochimaru, come out..I know you are in here..." Sakura yelled. She ran all day with the rain wetting her ripped clothes and hair, and she was tired; and now having to find him hiding was not helping, it was created a conection, that she never knew she had, beetwen her and orochimaru, and it helped her to find him easily... She was now in a tunel that she found hidden with chakra, which she broke, and was calling to him.

Two large snakes appeared behind her, moving it's way slowly towards her.. She sensed and let them have their way, still with her back facing them..

The snaked combined and Orochimaru appeared smirking... She stilled in place. His presence...it made her shiver, like a strange feeling of afection..

He moved towards her until her was only inch away from her, his hand went to her shoulder..

"Sakura child...I knew you would listen to me and come to join me..I can sense your fear, but don't, I wont hurt you..." she stayed silent, while he spoke.. his words, they managed to confort her...like a parents words.. he slowly circled around her until he was in front o her..

he looked deeply in her eyes, that almost resembled his...almost, but he was going to make sure that she gets to his level...

She was touched by his words, but she knew he was liying the most..

"I will make you strong, so that everyone fear you, and your name... You and I will make history.."

"That's pretty much tough talk, don't you agree?"... she answered to him, but in a way he didn't like..her eyes were fierce, full of determination, so as her tone...but he is going to correct that;in time...

"No, my child. I am only saying the truth. I will help you be whatever you wish, if you would let me that is.."

"Well first, stop calling me like that..I may be your child, but it doesn't change the fact I hate you. Second, who told you I am going to stay here anyways?..maybe I just came to send you in hell.." but this only made old snake to laugh..she was just too naiive..so many things to change...

"Fine than..Sakura, why don't you send me there than..?" …her face twisted in confusion;how in hell does he manage to do hand went to her face..she was too pretty when she's confused.. gently he begun caressing her, with a smile on his face that made Sakura think if it was a real one...

"You and I both now you came to stay...So why don't stop pretending and we get you a room, something to wear, eat..and a hot shower...we'll speak about work tommorow...Hai?"..

He was right..she needed all of that, but still.. Is she able to withstand all of this..To put up with Sasuke, with orochimaru, and all... What will say her village of her betray...

The hell with them, now is her's turn for a life that she deserved, without any guilt...

He is trying to make her weak,but she is not going to let him have all the fun..

"What about Sasuke-kun..Is he going to interupt my training, or you will get rid of him for me... It would be a pain to have him around while living here..annoying all the time...Right, father?" she said the last part with a sly hiss... along with a smirk on her face; she knew that it will piss him off, even a little.

Yes it did manage to get him angry a little because she knew he needed him, but he didn't let her get away with it...

"Why? Do you still feel that afection towards him, so you can't watch him because he's not yours... Because he moved on, I often see him with one of my subordinate, female that is, going out alone..and she often sleeps in his room.. That wouldn't be a problem, right?"... he stopped caressing her for a moment , to put her hair behind her ear that was hiding her eye...

Her smirk only grew wider...

'only if you knew that I surpassed Sasuke long time ago..' but she let him think what he wants..it was for the best...

With a blink of an eye, she was standing ten feets from him with her back towards him...He was surprised of her speed, with her current chakra level, she was supposed to be barely standing, not alone to speak and move so fast...

She looked at him across her shoulder; her long smile was evident, and her look was full of mischief, almost evil like...

"It seems you are at half of your endurance and strenght already...I like that, we can get it to it's maxium.." he said with a smirk...

"Hn... later. Now, let' see that room and shower you were talking about..."...and she fully turned around, and started walking through the hallways, with Orochimaru behind her, following her in every step she made.

well, how was that? Better with the grammar? I don't know..review and make me write more, and so I can put more effort in this story.... =):D
