Chapter 21
Orochimaru smirked at Sakura in her weak state. He walked forward to rip off her mask but Sasuke was already on his guard.
"I told you before." Sasuke hissed out, "Stay away from her."
Orochimaru just remained unfazed by Sasuke's threats. "Why did you kill my parents? How did they even meet you?" Sakura asked, "I need to know why they even we're involve with you."
Orochimaru looked at her and his golden eyes glimmered. "But of course Sakura-chan….buy I will have to speak with you alone."
Murk colored hands wrapped themselves around Naruto and Sasuke and pulled them away from Sakura. "Hey what's going on?" Naruto shouted.
"Where are you taking them??" Sakura shouted. Orochimaru pressed his fingers together and said, "Just something to keep them busy." Sakura gasped as she felt snakes wrapped their way around her. "Let me go!" she hissed out. "Not this time my sweet little flower." Orochimaru said grabbing her chin.
Two more of Orochimaru's creatures came on Sakura's side and made her follow after Orochimaru. She was thrown onto a chair and she groaned.
"Your parents were geniuses." Orochimaru said, "Your parents were exactly what I needed to completed my project."
"What project?" Sakura asked.
"My project to gain immortality." Orochimaru said, "And I was so close to until your parents turned their backs on me."
"Immortality." Sakura whispered, "What a interesting dream. I have a dream as well Orochimaru- sama." Orochimaru looked at Sakura and an evil smirk spread across his face. He came closer to her and asked, "And what would that be my flower?"
Sakura looked up and kicked Orochimaru right where it hurts the most. "To see you dead!" Sakura shouted. She got up and launched at one of the creatures slamming them against the wall. The snake around her hissed and freed her. Sakura punched the other creature in its face and then locked its arms and slammed him into the wall.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Orochimaru coming with a sword in his hands. She unsheathed her own and blocked his attack. She pushed some of her weight to one side making Orochimaru stumbled backwards.
"Your father taught you well Sakura-chan." Orochimaru remarked. Sakura growled and just slashed her sword at Orochimaru's face. A line of blood slipped down Orochimaru's pale cheeks and his eyes glowed with anger.
"You little brat!" he shouted. Orochimaru threw the sword in the ground and ran straight at Sakura aiming to chock her. Sakura avoided him and locked his arms at the back. She slammed him against the wall and whispered, "That was for my parents."
Sakura swung him around to face her and sent a kick his way. Orochimaru was thrown to the ground and he spat down some blood and two teeth. His golden eyes glared at Sakura and in speed unseen, he pinned her against the wall.
"Little Sakura-chan. You have so much to learn." Orochimaru said, "Let me teach them to do." Sakura juts smirked and kicked Orochimaru in-between his legs. She then clenched her fists and slammed it right into his left cheek. Orochimaru lay on the ground completely motionless.
"No thanks I already had a great teacher and a new one that I think I'm in love with." Sakura said.
The door flew open and Sakura grabbed her sword ready to attack.
"Sakura-chan we're here to save you!" she heard Naruto shouted. She breathed in a sigh of relief as she watched Sasuke and Naruto walk into the room. Naruto's eyes almost bulged out when he saw Orochimaru. "Whoa Sakura-chan you killed him!" Naruto shouted. Sakura shook her head, "I was trained to protect not kill. If I killed him just to fill the empty space in my heart that would make me as bad as him."
Sasuke came over to her and smiled. Sakura looked up at him with tears streaming down her cheeks. "But he can't live." Sasuke said. He tightened the grin on his katana and Sakura nodded. She turned her back away from the scene and just heard Orochimaru's last cry before he was gone.

Everyone made it out safely and where already think ahead of what to do with his hideout.
"We already checked out the place." Neji said, "There is a village here. Orochimaru was the fonder."
"We can't leave it without a leader." Kakashi said, "And we can't give that responsibility to just anyone."
Naruto was sitting crossed leg thinking. They hadn't found Hinata yet and his mind was in turmoil because of it. He heard a barking and looked up with a huge grin. The midnight beauty was running towards him.
"Hinata-chan!" Naruto shouted waving his arms widely. "Naruto-kun!" Hinata shouted with tears streaming down her cheeks. She crashed into his arms and together they said, "I'm so glad you're okay."
Sakura grinned under her mask at the scene and her eyes softened. She watched as Neji walked over to the couple and tapped behind Hinata's back.
"Neji-itoko-san?" Hinata asked. "Ah Hinata-sama you're unharmed I hope." Neji asked. "Hai. I am." Hinata said, "You came with everyone to look for me?"
Naruto grinned and snaked his arms around Hinata pulling her closer to him. "Yeah and he even brought a friend to help. He was really worried about you Hinata-chan." Hinata pulled away from Naruto and threw her arm around her cousin. "Arigatou for coming to save me Neji-itoko-san." She whispered. Neji hugged her back awkwardly and said, "We're family that's what we're suppose to do." Neji said, "It's our fate to help each other." Hinata smiled and hugged him again.
"We still have to talk about who is going to be the ruler of Oto." Kakashi said. Naruto landed his eyes on Sasuke and then pointed his finger at him, "I rule that the teme should be the leader. He knows this place better than any of us. Is trustworthy and is a face that the people know." There were mumbles of agreement and Sasuke just grunted.
"Oh and Ouji-sama don't forget that next week you will be crowned king." Kakashi added. Naruto's blue eyes danced with panic as he ran around in circles shouting that he forgot all about his crowning. Everyone rolled their eyes –well expect Hinata- and walked away.
"Hey dope." Sasuke called out. "Hey what is it teme?" Naruto asked suddenly becoming calm. "I'm supposed to be your advisor right?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah so?" Naruto asked.
"Here's my advice on a new law you can put down when you become king." Sasuke said with a smug smirk on his face.
"I'm listening."
//One week Later//
"People of Konoha I present to you your king!" Kakashi shouted. Naruto came out dressed in an orange shirt and black pants. It was followed by a coat like cape with flames at the end. A gold crown rested on his blonde locks and he smiled at his people.
"People of Konoha….as your new king I have one new law that I think needs to be set out in stone immediately. From today women will no longer be limited to maid jobs. They will be allowed to partake in any occupation that they see fit for them. Added to that, they will also be able to inherit anything their families have left for them without having to marry." Naruto said.
Women screamed and cheered. Tenten was ranting how she was going to open her own weapons' shop while Ayama was screaming that she was going to join the protection program and get the title captain in two months down. Itachi was amused by her speech and soon everyone could see Ayama and Itachi in a heated argument which was stopped when Sakura just so happened to bumped into Itachi and Ayama making them fall on top of each other kissing.
Tsunade gave her niece a thumbs up as she watched her walk over to Naruto. She noticed that her aunt was dressed very nicely today as if she was going to some party or weeding. Sakura ran over and hugged Naruto.
"You have no idea how happy you have made the women in this village." Sakura said. "Hey don't thank me. Thank my new advisor." Naruto said. Sakura looked at him and asked, "Well who's your new advisor."
Naruto pointed his finger out to behind Sakura and she flew around to see Sasuke down on one knee with a ring in his hands. For one moment Sakura forgot how to breathe.
"Haruno Sakura will you marry me?" Sasuke asked. Sakura laughed and let a big grin play on her face before she tackled Sasuke to the ground. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Sakura shouted. She cupped his face and whispered, "A million times yes."
"And what would you marry me today?" Sasuke mumbled. "Nani? But you just asked me and I don't even have a dress or had any invites made." Sakura said, "There is so much to do."
"Sakura-chan!" Mikoto shouted running towards the couple, "I take it Sasuke asked?" Sakura just nodded. Mikoto pulled up her future daughter-in-law and linked their arms together, "Good. Let's get you ready for your weeding."
"Matte?!" Sakura shouted as she was pulled into the castle. Mikoto turned back and smiled at Sakura and said, "Today isn't just the crowning of a new king." She pushed open the door and Sakura gaped at the wedding dress before her. "Like it?" Mikoto asked watching her reaction. Sakura just laughed. "Time to get into that white clothes." Mikoto said.

Mikoto easily explained that as soon as her son came back from the mission at Oto he told his entire family that he wanted to marry Sakura. Mikoto had begun planning everything for today and even got the dress for Sakura. Everyone was in on it well except for the bride. Sakura now understood why her aunt was dressed so nicely today. She was going to a wedding; her niece's wedding.
Sakura pushed her last hair behind her ears and looked in the mirror. She heard the door opened and was shocked to see Jiraiya walking in with his eyes over his eyes.
"Is the bride ready?" he asked. Sakura giggled and placed her hands on her hips, "Jiraiya you damn pervert what are you doing here?" she asked. Jiraiya removed his hands off his eyes and said, "To walk the bride down the aisle of course." He said with a huge grin. He gave her his hand and Sakura placed her smaller hand into his larger ones.
It was time.

Everyone was seated and waiting. Tsunade and Mikoto were just jumping up and down with excitement. "I hope that damn Jiraiya didn't peep at Sakura while she was still dressing." Tsunade said. Mikoto just laughed and said, "Well if he did we would have heard it." Both women then laughed and stood up when the march started.
Sakura came out with Jiraiya at her side, "Keep this hand linked with mine and the other at your side." Sakura ordered. She set her eyes on Sasuke who looked so handsome in his suit. Naruto was at his side still in his royal clothes but none of that mattered.
So as Jiraiya handed Sakura off to Sasuke she opened her mouth to say something but Sasuke beat her to it.
"Aishiteru." He said. Sakura's cheeks when hot and then she smiled. She placed her gloved hand on his cheeks and whispered, "Aishiteru."
She lifted off her veil and looked at Sasuke. Her future, her life, her other half; it was all here and it was because she was women fighting in a man's world.
