'Inner Sakura talking out loud'

'Both Sakura & Inner talking out loud'


Sakura, team Gai, the Hokage, and Sakura's parents were keeping an eye on the match of Sasuke versus Gaara of the sand. Sakura must have been zoning out, because the next thing she knew was she heard a few gasps and intakes of breath. She looked down into the arena and frowned. She looked into Neji's face and saw him frown as well.

"Now?" She asked him.

"Now."

She disappeared from his arms and reappeared behind the 'Kazekage' and kicked him down into the arena. She was next to him before he could stand and she smashed a chakra infused fist into his back. She could hear the sound of bones breaking and she smiled. Neji, Lee, and Ten Ten went to their stations. The audience was already put under a sleeping jutsu.

"NEJI! I NEED HELP HERE!" Lee yelled. He was taking on five sound shinobi and was having a difficult time keeping them at bay.

"How'd you know of my plan?" Orochimaru hissed as his disguise peeled away.

"Because, I surpass you in seeing underneath the underneath."

He lunged at Sakura and she dodged barely. Gaara and Sasuke looked on. Gaara was about to be transformed into Shukakau, but he didn't get the chance, considering Sakura and teh otehrs had interrupted. Gaara was surprised that his father was dead and that it had been Orochimaru giving the orders for the past few months. Sasuke was confused, h ewent to go assist Lee since Neji was having a hard time himself.

"Gaara!"

The red haired boy appeared by Sakura's side.

"Don't giove into Shukaku. Please help." Sakura said as she punched Orochimaru far away from her. But he soon came back, this time angrier. He ran passed Sakrua and Gaara and straight for Sasuke.

"Not on my watch pedophiliac freak!" Sakura punched into the ground hard. And instead of creating craters she created large cracks in the ground that followed Orochimaru. Before Orochimaru could go nearer to Sasuke a wall of sand appeared.

"I will get Sasuke if it means I need to kill you and the jinchuriki." hissed the snake teme.

"Gaara, you may do the honors." Sakura said.

Gaara put a sand casing around Orochimaru's body. Just as he squeezed the snake sannin Sakura ran in front of the red haired as Orochimaru's tongue went through her stomach.

Gaara was shocked. He couldn't believe that the pink haired Konoha kunoichi blocked the attack that was meant for him.

"Have fun in hell teme." An electrical current passed through Sakura's body and onto Orochimaru's tongue. At the same time Gaara finished him off by squeezing him to death.

Sakura fell into the Shukaku holder as she passed out. Orochimaru's tongue was removed from her stomach. Neji came over and took her from Gaara. Then he rushed to the medic nins. The Hokage, jounins, the rookie 12, the sand sibs, Tsunade, Shizune, and the proctors rushed after them. Teh citizens and the rest of the audience were placed into their homes by the ANBUs.

Orochimaru was gone, but with a price.

... ... ... ... ...

Everyone in Konoha, the Sand siblings, Baki, Tsunade, and Shizune were wearing black on a cloudy day.

"We are gathered her to witness the burial for a brave kunoichi. She lost a mother at a young age and to the same man that killed her. She came to me saying she was from the future, along with Neji, Lee, and Ten Ten. They have completed their mission and this young kunoichi lay in peace. Before the testing today she came to me at midnight. She told me that she wouldn't be living through this, knowing that there would be a consequence for tampering with time. We are here to thank Sakura haruno for her works as well as Neji, Lee, and Ten Ten. If you would like, please come up, place your flower up here, and see the face of Konoha's Cherry Blossom one last time. She will be remembered, and always loved. Sakura Haruno, arigato." the Hokage said.

From above Sakura smiled down at the group at her funeral. Plus, she had a surprise for Neji.

"Sakura also wanted me to tell this to Neji Hyuga. She says thank you for loving her and thank you for all those dates they had. She also said that she wanted Neji to take care of their twins. A girl named Hikari, and the boy named Kaoru. They were born two weeks ago. When Sakura came from the future she had been carrying these two inside her. She wishes for everyone to treat them well and she wants the Konoha 12 to be the godparents. Congratulations Neji Hyuga. Sakura is watching us from a better place."

Neji, shocked beyond belief, walked up to the Hokage and had two bundles placed into his arms. One was pink and the other blue. The girl, Hikari had strikingly pink locks like her mother, and the same eyes as her father. Kaoru had coffee brown hair and dazzling green eyes. Kaoru turned on his Byakugan as well as Hikari. Neji smiled and kissed each of them on the forehead. The Byakugan turning off.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Five Years Later

"Daddy? What was mommy like?" a girl with pale milky white eyes and waist length pink hair asked. Her brother, with coffee brown hair in a low ponytail and green eyes looked up at his father.

The Konoha 11 and their children looked up at Neji and the twins.

"She was a brave kunoichi. She could kill, yet she could also heal. She saved many lives. And I'm proud to say that she was my wife. Even if we didn't get married."

"Oh, so mommy is a hero?" Kaoru asked.

"Yes."

"Hey let's go to the memorial! I wanna see mommy!"

Hikaru and Kaoru raced each other with everyone else following behind them. When they arrived the children pointed at names and even made a game of ninja, they would act out the person they had picked form the memorial stone. Neji looked up at the sky then at the one name on the memorial stone, the only name that had cherry blossom petals surrounding it.

Sakura Hyuga

Mother and wife

Forever a hero and a kunoichi of Konoha
