Patience is a Virtue

Me and Sakon finally reached the hideout, after loads of running onto a vast amount water. Sakon looked back at me before realising that he still had a hold of my wrist. He blushed slightly before letting go and opening the entrance to the hideout. The annoying thing for me was that the hideout looked exactly the same as the last one.

"What took you so long?" Kabuto asked as we walked past Suigetsu's door.

"The Konoha brat's decided that they didn't want to let go of their cherry blossom." Sakon teased. I merely glared at him.

"Come up with something original won't you?" I replied, referring to my given nickname. Sakon rolled his eyes.

"Well." Kabuto started as he looked down at me. "At least we know where your loyalties lie." He finished while walking into Suigetsu's room. He was about to close the door, but he stopped and turned back around. "We have another successful experiment, like Suigetsu, who's worth talking to…Sakura." He chuckled before he slammed the door shut. I sighed slightly before looking up at Sakon.

"Since you know the hideout so well, you can give me a tour so I know where everything is." I said. Sakon looked down at me and stood in silence for a minute, while wearing a frown. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"Fine…follow me."

Tsunade

I looked around the office, eyeing each ninja one by one cautiously.

"So, Sakura left for power from Orochimaru…" I repeated what Naruto has said. I furrowed my eyebrows and bit down on my thumb nail. "…Check out in the hospital before returning to normal duties. Dismissed." I commanded. All the ninja nodded and left my office except from Naruto. I looked up at him and frowned. "What is it Naruto?"

Naruto looked out of the window and clenched his fist. There was a long pause before Naruto turned his head in my direction.

"The next time I see Sakura…I will get her back…" his shoulders tensed up. "That's a promise." Naruto stated confidently before looking out of the window again. As if on cue, Jiraiya entered the office.

"Ah. Jiraiya, you made it." I smiled warmly at him. He returned my smile with his famous grin.

"Of course I did. You didn't expect me to slack off now, would you?" He replied before looking down at Naruto. "Are you ready to start your training with me, Naruto?" Jiraiya asked. I smiled as Naruto's face lit up considerably.

"Of course I'm ready! I won't give up on trying to get Sakura either!" He stated while looking at Jiraiya. Jiraiya's smile faded slightly.

"You have to take this training seriously Naruto. If you want to get stronger you will have to pay attention to every little detail." Jiraiya responded. Naruto nodded his head. Jiraiya looked over at me and smiled. "Well, my princess." He joked. I rolled my eyes before smiling further. "We'll see you in around three years."

And with that Naruto and Jiraiya left the room. I laughed to myself slightly.

"Naruto hasn't even recovered from his mission and he's eager to start training under Jiraiya." I said to myself before looking at the paper work to my left.

"Shizune! I need more sake!"

Suigetsu

I am bored…incredibly bored. Kabuto had just finished examining my health and left the room. The day then I get out of this stupid container will be the day I die…I swear. Just as I was about to go to sleep I heard someone pick at the lock of the door. I smirked to myself.

'You don't think that the same trick will work again do you Sakura? Kabuto's changed the lock to something stronger' I closed my eyes and chuckled slightly before hearing the door open. 'Seriously? I'm starting to think that Kabuto doesn't bother with the security around this place!' I opened my eyes before sighing

"Suigetsu?" I heard Sakura's soft voice call as she turned on the lights. I smiled slightly. She remembered my name. I didn't reply to her until she reached my container.

"Orochimaru is going to be pissed if he finds you in here again, you know that." I stated bluntly. Sakura dismissed my warning. She turned the light of my container before smiling at me. I couldn't help but blush slightly. Her outfit had changed dramatically to something a bit more revealing.

"I don't care. I don't start training until tomorrow…and I'm bored." Sakura retorted. "I won't be here for long anyway." She continued causing me to frown.

"Why are you here then?" I asked harshly. Sakura coughed taking out a piece of paper and pen.

"I need to know your schedule, so that I know what times to visit and what times to avoid coming here." She replied. I sighed before telling her what she wanted to know. She then left the room, turning all the lights off along the way.

Sakura

I put all the notes in my pouch and started heading for the main room, which was where the new 'successful' experiment was. It wouldn't hurt to meet it. Besides, I'm bored.

"So you will do well to know your place, Karin." Kabuto had finished his sentence. I looked over at him. He looked pretty pissed off at this red headed woman standing in front of him. He looked over at me and smiled…that was a creepy sight to see…

"Ah, Sakura." He greeted. I walked towards the two before smiling at Kabuto bitterly before looking at the woman. "Sakura, this is Karin." The red headed woman turned around to face me. I hid my shocked emotion before nodding my head at her.

'Ah, so this is the woman that was on Sasuke's team' I thought to myself. Karin scoffed. This was not going off to a good start. I glared at her, daring her to say something.

"Why would Orochimaru want a scrawny pink headed brat like her?" Karin laughed. I smirked. I didn't have to say anything, I could tell that Kabuto wanted to talk.

"Well," He started, fixing his glasses higher up his nose. "Sakura is a strong medic Ninja who's survived Orochimaru's bite." Kabuto continued. Karin crossed her arms and scoffed louder. "Oh, and she's smart." Kabuto finished before Karin scowled at him. She turned on her heel and walked away from us and into the dark hallway.

Kabuto dusted himself down before looking at me.

"Come with me Sakura." He commanded before walking towards a big metal door. I reluctantly followed. He stopped walking and turned his head back. "This will be your study while you're here." He stated as he opened the doors fully. I looked inside the room and smirked.

'I might just learn more than fighting skills from Orochimaru while I'm here.' I thought to myself.
