Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! I am so, so sorry it took so long, I had so much to do this week. With homecoming, PSATs, and I was really sick. I am going to change the timeline. I know I said I wanted to get as close to the timeline as possible but this really chapter really has an important part in it. PLEASE READ this part: those people who said that I made Sakura too powerful are…right!

I did make her too powerful…so I am going to change something in this chapter. You just have to wait to see what it is. Thank you for the people who gave me that because I came up with a good idea to this chapter but it's in two parts so…yay! Also one more thing…

Everybody: HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY NARUTO!

Naruto: Aw thanks everybody!

Sakura: Kumiko-chan how can you forget?

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Inner

Recap:

widened my eyes. It read:

In order to stop the blindness process, you must copy an Uchiha's complete Sharingan.

Somewhere else

A man with a mask slammed his fist on a table and left a dent. He glared at the dent and said to himself,

"That damn pink-haired girl. She ruined my plans, now I just have to find another way to get Sasuke Uchiha. I will get him, one way or another." He walked back and forth in one line until he calmed down. He smiled sinisterly and said,

"I just have to kill that girl."

I just stared at the Haruno book, not knowing what to do. Inside I was freaking out, but outside I kept a blank face.

"Sakura are you alright?" Tsunade asked concerned. I took a deep breath and nodded, not trusting my voice.

"Well, just wait here a while. You and your team are needed for a mission. Shizune! Call Team 7!" Tsunade ordered.

'Do you know what this means?' I thought to myself. My inner growled and answered,

Uchiha Madara.

'I'm screwed.' I told her.

"Sakura? Are you okay? You look pale." I heard Kakashi ask me. I looked at him and saw Kakashi's concerned look. I debated whether to tell him, but decided against it.

"I'm fine?" I replied, but it sounded more like a question.

"Are you sure?" Kakashi asked, not convinced. I nod, more confident in my answer. He nods back and I realize everyone is waiting for me.

'Oops.' I thought embarrassed.

"Okay Team 7, you have B-ranked mission in the Sound village." Tsunade explained.

"Wahoo!" Naruto yelled. I rolled my eyes as Tsunade-sama glared at Naruto.

"Shut up baka! Anyways, you are to infiltrate Orochimaru's lair and retrieve all the things he stole from Konoha. You leave in two hours."

"Hai!" We all answered. I quickly left, avoided everyone. I got to my apartment and started packing. I redid my high ponytail and changed into me ninja clothes. I tied on my medic pack and sighed.

'Is this mission done yet?' I asked myself.

Well techniqually yes but-

'The question was rhetorical.' I interrupted my inner.

Psh, I knew that. She answered.

'Right.' I thought, inwardly rolling my eyes. I put on my backpack and left but not before locking my door. I ran to the gate to only see Sasuke there.

'Great.' I thought sarcastically. I stopped and stood opposite of him.

"Sakura I-"

"Just stop right there Sasuke I don't want to hear it right now." I interrupted him.

"I didn't mean it Sakura." Sasuke gritted out. I knew I was hurting his pride but right now I didn't care.

"No Sasuke, you meant what you said. If you want my power, keep it! It's brought nothing but misery to me! And since you want to know so much about me I'll tell you! I'm from the-"

"SAKURA! Stop!" I heard Kakashi yell. I closed my mouth and looked over to see Kakashi and Naruto staring at me.

"Why did you stop me Kakashi-sensei? Why don't we let the whole team know!" I yelled. I could feel tears on the corner o my eyes.

"Sakura, what's wrong?" Kakashi asked softly as he was coming closer.

"You want to know what's wrong?" I asked him, a little too calm. He stayed silent, waiting for me to answer.

"I'm going to go blind in about the next 3 days, unless I can copy a completed Sharingan." I answered with tears rolling down my cheeks. Everyone widened their eyes and stared at me in surprise.

"Uchiha Madara." Kakashi whispered in a voice only I can hear. I wiped my tears and replied bitterly.

"That's right." Kakashi sighed and said,

"Let's go, we'll talk about it later." I just nodded silently and started walking out of Konoha. I heard the boys follow behind me as we traveled in silence. We traveled for a day and finally Kakashi said,

"Let's rest for the night." I heard Naruto sigh in relief as we set up for camp. I was about to go to sleep when I hard my name.

"Sakura, we need to talk." Kakashi commanded. I sighed and turned around to face him. I was about to say something but I felt stares on my back. I turned to Naruto and Sasuke then glared at them to leave. Naruto gulped and left, but Sasuke glared back. We stayed like that for a few minutes then Kakashi intervened,

"Sasuke, leave." He said it in a voice that no one can argue with. Sasuke growled and left while I faced Kakashi again.

"Explain Sakura." Kakashi said. I sighed and dug through my bag. I grabbed the book and threw it at him. He caught with ease and started reading it. He widened his eye and put the book down.

"You have to fight Uchiha Madara." Kakashi stated.

"I know, I won't die." I lied.

"Don't lie to me Sakura." He scolded. I sighed and said,

"I have to do this Kakashi-sensei! I won't try to kill him, I'm not strong enough yet."

"You don't have to do it alone."

"I can't risk you guys getting hurt and I'm willing to die for that. Now excuse me I'm going to sleep." I replied. I left before he could say something back. I was about to lay down but a voice stopped me.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto called.

"Yes Naruto?" I asked turning to face him. He had a serious expression on his face and said,

"You have to promise me something this time." I nodded, remembering he promised me not to go on the memorial stone.

"Promise me you won't die. Don't lie." He said sternly. I hesitated but said,

"I promise Naruto." His eyes lit up and he hugged. I stiffened in surprise but relaxed and wrapped my arms around him.

"I love you like a brother Naruto." I whispered in his ear.

"And I love you like my little sister Sakura-chan." He whispered back smiling. I let go of him and playfully glared,

"Little sister? I'm older than you." He laughed and said,

"I know! But I'll still treat you like my little sister." I rolled my eyes then asked,

"Do you like anyone?" His cheeks grew pink and I mentally squealed.

"Who?" I demanded.

"I'll um tell you later. I'm tired. Goodnight!" He ran away and I huffed.

I can't believe he didn't tell us. My inner said.

'I know. I hope it's Hinata-chan!' I replied happily.

Yeah, we should go to sleep now. My inner suggested. I inwardly nodded and let my fatigue consume me.

Next Day

I woke up early the next day and picked up all my things. After I finished I waited for the boys to wake up. I waited 5 minutes and got irritated. I grabbed some water and dumped it on Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi.

"HEY!" Naruto yelled. Sasuke glared at me and Kakashi just asked,

"Why did you do that?"

"Cuz you would wake up. Now come on we are 2 hours away from Sound." I said emotionlessly. Kakashi sighed and picked up everything while the boys followed.

"What's for breakfast?" I sighed and threw him an apple.

"We'll eat more when we get in the village." I told him. Naruto just shrugged and ate the apple. We started running towards the Sound village with Naruto filling up the silence. I nodded and replied in the right places so Naruto paid no attention to me. I realized we finally got to the village when Naruto exclaimed,

"Finally. I'm hungry."

"Naruto, quiet!" I hissed. He closed his mouth and we quickly tried to find a place to eat.

"Something wrong Sakura?" Kakashi asked worried. I jumped in surprise but answered,

"No, but I have a bad feeling Kakashi-sensei." He just nodded and looked forward. We found a place and quickly ate.

"Where's the base?" Sasuke asked surprising me. I haven't heard him talk in a while.

"Right outside of Sound." Kakashi answered. We all nodded and quickly ran to the hideout. We got there and a huge rock was blocking the entrance. I sighed and punched the rock into a million pieces. We ran in and quickly scanned the base.

I cringed at the different experiments that were everywhere. I looked over at Kakashi and saw he was taking back scrolls. I wondered into a different room and found the Kusanagi laying on a table. I grabbed it and found Sasuke.

"Here, it'll help with your chidori." I said emotionlessly as I threw it at him. I went back into the room and started looking through the shelf, but froze once I heard a cold, dark voice.

"Hello Haruno Sakura, we meet at last." I turned around and glared at an orange mask.

"Uchiha Madara."

So…how did you like it? I am really sorry I am so late. And also to add another to my list of excuses, I had a choir concert. Yay!
