Scratch that. This is the longest chapter in this story. By far.

This chapter took longer than I hoped it to be.

I edited this all in an hour but then stopped because Teen Wold came on, and I couldn't miss it! That's why it's being updated really late...so...

I do not own Naruto

I was pretty sure time stopped for over a minute.

Sasuke had vanished.

He had kissed me.

Right in front of Suigetsu and Kisame. And the three of us stood there, motionless.

I could just feel the smirk on Suigetsu radiating off his body. I turned to him and gave him an annoyed look. "Shut up." I shot at him.

His smirk grew wider. "Hey I had nothing to do with that. That was all him Pinky."

I wasn't sure how to feel about this. The kiss, it was nice, sweet, and simple. All qualities Sasuke seemed to never posses. As if a s switch flipped I felt it hit me hard, Naruto and everyone, they were getting closer, closer than I would have liked. It was like scratch on my back I couldn't itch. Naruto's chakra was huge, and no longer felt the presence of my tigers. When a clone of Naruto had run into us they knew automatically where we were heading, and what direction and sent to go with. I sighed, nothing could ever be simple anymore. "Suigetsu, stay here." I said.

"If you're thinking about running to catch up with Sasuke I think you're very mistaken."Kisame mumbled.

"No. As a matter of fact I won't be doing anything like that."

"What are you talking about?" Suigetsu asked.

"It's Konoha, I'm going to stall them."

"Well I'll come with you." he said, he made it seem he wasn't going to take no for an answer, but I knew he would give in.

"No. You need to stay here. When the battle is over get Sasuke, come find me, and then we'll get out of here. Together" I took a scroll out of my pouch. "Here. Summon me once you find a safe place."

He nodded and took the scroll. I grinned at him before I took off going in the direction from which I came. One step forward two steps back. That's what it seemed. I got Sasuke's trust. More than I thought I would have. And now taking steps back, not waiting for Sasuke, but going towards the troop from Konoha. I hated it. Whenever I got close to Sasuke someone from Konoha would pop up. How did they expect me to get anything done with them showing up at any time. And then another step back was what I was thinking about now.

Spilling my guts.

I didn't have long, the month was running short. The best way to get rid of them was to spit out the truth about everything. And then Kakashi, would make them leave, all of them. It was the only way to make them leave. I took extra measures to make sure I wasn't being followed who knew if there was another Akatsuki member around that I couldn't sense. It was possible but it was going to be a risk I would have to take.

I was getting closer now. I could almost hear them panting and the footsteps being taken to hurry up their pace. "Stop!" I heard someone yell. It sounded from a distance that it was Kakashi.

"What?!" Naruto loudly whined. I grinned good old Kakashi and Naruto.

I ran and landing gracefully on a branch, quietly and almost unnoticed. Kakashi looked up at me, the only one and everyone else stared at Kakashi wondering what was the big deal about stopping. And then they all looking in the line of Kakashi's view.

Eyes widened, some even glared. It was understandable. I wouldn't blame them if they hated me. I didn't take my eyes off Kakashi. I looked at no one else. His face apologized for him. Naruto must have begged and pleaded for months.

The friends I hadn't seen since I left were here probably shocked from my appearance. With hair no longer short, but long. I no longer wore red, my signature color, I traded it in for black and purple the colors that most people who were objects for Orochimaru's usage. "You shouldn't have come." I said to Kakashi, only he would understand the meaning behind the words. "Do you realize what I'm risking right now?" I continued. "Luckily there was another member of Akatsuki to keep Suigetsu busy enough to not follow me out here."

"What?" I heard someone mumble down on the ground. Everyone but Kakashi was probably confused by my choice of words.

"I'm giving you a chance." I began my proposition. "Leave now, and I will make sure no one comes after you, any of you. I will go back after I waste a little time, and tell Sasuke and Suigetsu that I hurt most of you and Konoha has retreated for medical reasons."

Kakashi started to open his mouth but Naruto bet him to it. "Hell no!"

"Naruto be quiet!" Kakashi hissed.

"No, we're not going to go back! We made it this far we're going to bring both of you home! And we're going to capture Itachi so that you will have no choice but to come to the village!"

I rolled my eyes. "It's no use. Sasuke is already fighting Itachi."

"We're too late..." Naruto complained. "Then we'll drag you both back! To the village!"

"You just don't get it do you?!" I yelled as loud as I could. I was annoyed, my eyes squinted at them, and I was getting furious. "I don't have a choice! I never did!"

"Sakura..." Kakashi warned.

"What does it matter?! You know, Shikamaru knows, Gaara, what's more people!?"

"Sakura don't say anything that you're going to regret. I'll get them out of here and we go back to Konoha."

"Are you crazy!?" Kiba yelled at Kakashi.

"I had finally gotten his trust! I only have three more weeks! I'm working as fast as I can, did she send you here to check up on me!? Am I going to get weekly check-ups from you? From people of my past to make me feel more guilty than I already am? To put more pain in my heart?"

"Sakura... this was mission to help you."

"Well it's not going to help. You should have left me alone."

"Okay. Then we'll go."

"But..." Hinata mumbled.

"No, we're not going to let her walk out again." Naruto said than lunged at me from the ground. I sighed. Why does he always have to do this?

He went at me with a punch. I grabbed his fist with full force and stopped him right on the tree in front of me. I gripped tighter not even giving him the chance to think he could break free from the grasp I had on him. I hadn't been up this close to him in a long time. His eyes were so blue, but there was no longer the beautiful happiness that filled them before, there was hurt, pain, sorrow, and betrayal that went deep in his eyes. And I helped put it there.

"Naruto." I said a little annoyed by the fact because he had to try to punch me. I wanted to talk to him, hug him, tell him I was going to be home, but I knew what Kakashi had said before was right. I would regret if I said anything to them, worry that they would tell the world and act like they were going to nothing to get me back. And the entire village, and other villages would wonder why nothing was being done. It would just cause tons upon tons of more problems I didn't have the time to deal with. I still stared into Naruto's eyes wondering how much hurt I was going bestow on all of them now. I had already put everyone in more hurt than I initially thought. And that equally hurt me. It made me wonder how Itachi did this all those years back. Maybe he just didn't care. He had killed his entire clan, he possibly probably didn't even care anymore what anyone thought. "You should have just listened to Kakashi." I said and then channeled chakra in my fist that wasn't holding Naruto. I punched him right in the gut, and let him go at the exact moment and he flew down onto the ground making the ground come up and dirt flew into the air. The amount of force I used might had been a little much, but it was necessary.

"I gave you the chance to leave." I said to Kakashi. "He started this." I said and jumped down from the tree limb.

Maybe that was the key, the only way to get out of going crazy. Don't care anymore.

I went for Hinata first, getting her out-of-the-way was probably the first thing anyone would do. She might have improved but her byakugan, and her in general would just get in the way and cause more problems. Like it was second nature one of my swords submerged from my shoulder and I grabbed it pulling it out and quickly put it through Hinata's gut and trusting it up so it came out near her shoulder, and I made sure to avoid the lungs and heart.

I pulled the sword back out and Hinata fell to her knees. I sighed. Did it really have to come to this?

I sighed again, louder for everyone to hear. "Your going to have to take me seriously. I won't go lightly."

Everyone looked in horror as I flicked off the excess blood from the sword. "This is what happens now. You should have left when I told all of you to go. You should have listened to Kakashi. Now you leave me with no choice." I made sure to avoid Kakashi until I had no other choice but to. I would injure everyone else before it came to that.

I closed my eyes and discreetly put my hand on Hinata sending her into a genjustu. There was no way she'd get out of the genjutsu with the wound I had just given her. It would get her out of the way, giving me enough time to deal with the others.

"Hinata!" Naruto screamed from the hole he was in as Hinata fell to the ground.

I took after Sai next, I knew that by now he had figured out a way to get out of the genjustu I put him in when I first escaped the Leaf. I performed a jutsu going through the hand signs faster than I ever have before and hit him right in the chest he tried to grab my hand before I touched him but I made sure to avoid that by shoving my knee into his abdomen causing his body to flinch. My hand that was on his chest made water explode from my hand swallowing Sai up into a round blob of water; a prison. One that Kakashi was very familiar with.

I heard the footsteps from the right of me coming straight at me, Yamato. He sent wood flying my way, like the snakes that came from my arms and I dodged, then nest came Kiba and Akamaru from above jumping to the wooden vines coming towards me. I pulled out the second sword from my other shoulder and sent chakra into them, the wind sharpened the sword and extended them. I was spinning around fast and the wind blew away Kiba and Akamaru and cut up the wooden vines, the pieces fell to the ground and I landed in a tree above.

As soon as I landed I dodged Naruto, who came at me with a rasengan and pumped chakra to my feet to jump up higher on the trunk to avoid the Chidori coming from Kakashi on my left. I put the swords back into my shoulders and I summoned the snakes from my hands and they came like the wood, I went towards Yamato with them, his kunai he used to defend himself became unsuccessful against two snakes. One bit him, and his poison entered Yamato's veins, paralyzing him, causing him to fall to the ground. Three down. Well two. Sai was still dead set on exiting the ball of water. But he didn't have to do it alone, the ball of water dispersed and revealed Shino behind Sai. Sai looked to Shino and muttered "Thank you."

Kakashi and Naruto stood up on the tree I had jumped down from. Hinata was leaning up against a tree, Sai still on his hands and knees was trying to get oxygen into his system, Shino stood behind glaring at me. Kiba and Akamaru did the same but there was more anger in Kiba's expression. Yamato's face turned towards me as his body lay limp.

"Ohhhh. Sakura." Chills went down my spine. My eyes grew wide. My fingers became jittery and the coldness made me afraid for my life. I had heard his voice before, once, on nothing but a coincidence or chance but not luck. When I was leaving Amegakure. The stare that was on my back was the same as once before. I brushed it off before because that village was creepy as my hair is pink. But it was the came cold, dead, stare. I knew it was.

I swallowed hard and turned around. A man in a mask and an Akatsuki uniform. I took a breath. The evil just radiated from him. I had to get out of here.

"Hola!" the masked man yelled.

"What!?" Naruto said with widened eyes.

"Oh my, oh my! Hello there, there, and there!" he said. Was this guy really the one with the sinister radiating from him. Making me so uncomfortable that I wanted to knock myself out unconscious just so I didn't have to be awake while in a 100 foot radius with him. "I never imagined that I'd meet up with Konoha all the way out here. And there's two, four, six...seven...against one...oh, but it looks like two are already hurt.. So five against one. That's just not fair." he whined. "Ah! But Sakura-chan is here. Five against two!" he said with a small laugh at the end.

Who was this guy, and how did he know me? Why was he following me so long ago?

"You seem to be a member of Akatsuki." Kakashi said. "Although, you're not on the list of the Akatsuki members we got from Kabuto."

"Well, that's because I'm new! It's nice to meet you!" he yelled.

"Don't make me laugh. We don't have time for this!" Kiba said.

I was starting to worry. They were taking the guy lightly because he sounded like an idiot. And he did, sound like and idiot. But there was something dark about this guy. And I just noticed now my hands started to shake. Why was I so afraid?

Kakashi noticed my hands and the fear in my eyes and stared. Hopefully he would get the hint.

"Don't be rash." Kakashi said not taking his eyes off me. "Just observe him for now. He's outnumbered even if he has Sakura. So the advantage is ours." Kakashi said looking to Naruto now.

Something that always annoyed me. Konoha never took me serious, they always tiptoed around me because they didn't want to hurt me and they paid for that. Two of their people were already down. They didn't have advantage at all.

"What was that?!" masked man said. "Am I being... underestimated?"

"Get out of our fucking way!" Naruto screamed. I noticed it now it was a clone with a rasengan going after masked man.

"Naruto don't!" I yelled but I was too late.

"Ah? A shadow clone?" said the masked man, he turned to face Naruto with the rasengan, he didn't flinch, move or make any attempt to dodge the attack. And Naruto went straight through him. I didn't know that was going to happen but I knew that Naruto wasn't going to have any luck with this guy alone. Naruto stumbled from the tree and regained his footing.

"Just kidding." joked the masked man.

Naruto took off again with a kunai to the masked man. "You're too full of yourself!" masked man yelled. "What's a kid like you gonna do?" and he kicked Naruto in the face, sending him hurdling to the ground.

I couldn't help him it'd look bad on my part so I stood there, helpless. I was still too afraid of this guys presence, I could barely feel my legs they were numb with fear and my hand shook even more. Get a grip Sakura!

The shaking and the way I couldn't move reminded me of Sasuke years and years ago when he stabbed himself with the kunai just to move. With the will power I manifested somehow I pulled out a kunai and sent it straight into my leg. receiving looks from everyone who took their eyes off Naruto who was being caught by a clone instead of making contact with the ground.

Blood spilled from the wound and I could finally move again. My hands didn't shake, I could feel my legs. "What did you do to me?!" I yelled up to the man.

"Oh, Sakura-chan, you woke up."

"Woke up..." I mumbled. A genjutsu? I couldn't remember if that was the reason Sasuke couldn't move but who put a genjutsu on me? I looked to Kakashi, it couldn't have been him. The masked man?

A huge splash sounded as the two Narutos landed in the river off to the side. And the water exploded as Naruto emerged from the water. I was going to have to fight on this guy's side. I couldn't stand here. And I couldn't help them either.

"What's this now? Could it be you're trying to analyze my abilities? You Konoha people sure are cunning. Just like Sakura-chan!" masked man said. "But, for a new guy, I'm pretty good, don't you think?"

I narrowed my eyes at him. It was getting on my nerves how he kept acting like he was a friend and knew me. While in fact I didn't have a clue who he was.

"He dodged all of Nartuo's attacks." Kiba said.

"It's as if he's just toying with us, but what is he after?" Kakashi said. "Sakura maybe?"

"So, what game should we play now, my Konoha friends?"

"We don't have time to screw around with you!" Naruto snapped.

"Why? It's because we need to stay on Sasuke's trail and get Sakura back to the village as well." Shino spoke, for the first time since I saw him.

They were all idiots if they thought this guy was going to let them go so easily. Akamaru barked in agreeance. "Shino, you weren't there the last time we went on a mission to retrieve Sasuke. We're counting on you!"

I gritted my teeth.

"Alright, everyone. Let's end this!" Kakahsi shouted. "Formation B!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. "Looks like you're getting serious now!" masked man said getting pumped up. "Then I guess I'll get serious too! Sakura-chan!" he yelled, "You're on my team!"

I narrowed my eyes, as the masked man started doing stretches and getting himself "ready" to get serious.

"You bastard! Stop screwing around!" Naruto yelled and I jumped up on a branch higher than the man. In all honestly I didn't want to stand next to him.

Nartuo went into a position and Shino and Kiba went behind. "Ready?" Kiba asked the two. They nodded and then threw Naruto up into the air.

"Whoa! He sure went high!" masked man said and the looked up into the sky. "Whoa! They distracted me with a decoy and now have three people surrounding me?! Oh no!" Kiba, Akamaru and Sai were going head strong towards him. And masked man was looking back and forth between the three. "I don't know which one to dodge!" he looked to Sai, "Hey-y, th-that's unfair!" dodged Sai, then Kiba, "Whoa!" and then Akamaru, "Close one!" Sai then came back around and tried to through a punch. "Ole!" he said with a laugh.

None of them were going after me which I was grateful for, I didn't want to have to put anymore of them in the hospital. "Three against one? You Konoha guys are cowards!" I heard him mumble.

"Rasengan!" Naruto yelled. I looked above to see Naruto hurdling down.

"W-Wait a second! You weren't the decoy!?" The rasengan hit him full force and the tree went up in smoke and debris shot up. "Ya, got me!"

I looked down from above kind of cheering the freak on because I didn't want to fight them anymore than I already have. "Not!" I heard him yell and Naruto coughed. I could only see a little but it looked like he kicked dirt in Naruto's face.

"Ninpou: Tousenbo no Jutsu!" he said confidently. He spun around and then popped up somewhere near Kakashi who was running off with Shino, Hinata at his side, and Yamato on Kakahi's back. "Oh, come on! You said you wouldn't go all at once, and I believed you too!"

I almost wanted to crack a laugh at this guy.

"Everyone, don't stop! Keep pushing your way through!" Everyone dispersed.

"Ah! Not good! N-Ninpou...U-Um...Hey!" And he spun around again popping up by Sai. With... a stick? And tried hitting Sai with it before disappearing again.

Then the same thing happened with Shino.

Then Kiba.

"What kind of technique is that?" Kakashi said getting a little annoyed.

He then popped up next to me and nearly gave me a heart attack. "I know! I'll name this technique...Whack-A-Mold Technique!"

"Although the mole is the one who's doing all the whacking?" I asked him, looking over to him. He still worried but I figured I should try to make peace with him, I might be stuck with him for a while.

"Ahhh! Sakura-chan you're no fun!"

"Unless we defeat this guy, we're not going to get through." Kakashi said.

"Damn it..." Naruto said coming over whipping the dirt out of his eyes.

"Well, well, well? What do you want to play next?"

"We don't have time to screw around like this!" Naruto shouted.

"Next, we'll go with Battle Formation A." Kakahsi said setting Yamato down.

"I think the poison in beginning to ware off." Yamato said. "I can move my arms."

"Let's go, Akamaru!" Kiba said, and then Akamaru barked and went off together.

"You think you can?" Kakashi asked Yamato. Yamato nodded a little unsure with himself.

Yamato performed hand signs and wood came from his arms up towards us. We dodged around them, avoiding them flawlessly. I jumped down from the tree to the ground and masked man moved upwards no dodging Kiba and Akamaru who were lunging and spinning at him.

"Rasengan!" Naruto went straight for him. And then went straight through. The wood came up fast around him, and I watch as he dodged again and again.

"Whoa!" he said dodging. But the wood twisted around him and around his neck locking him in tight. "IT-it hurts!" he shouted. He struggled and struggled and the popped out of the hold like it was nothing and appeared underneath the branch. He was moving his neck back and forth cracking it. "Ya gotta hand it to me. I'm pretty flexible, huh?" I couldn't believe my eyes. "Sakura-chan!" he shouted I looked up to him from the ground. "I'm having a ton of fun!" He said waving down to me. "Now, for my counter attack! Time for my secret technique!" he clasped his hands together.

"Pull back, Naruto, Kiba!" Kakahsi yelled.

"Frill-Necked Lizard!"

I waited for something to happen other than him just putting his hands up in front of his chest.

But nothing happened.

At all.

We all just stared as he hung from the tree branch. God this guy was such a freak.

There was a couple more seconds of awkward staring. "Actually, that's all there is to it." he said with a laugh.

"He's just screwing with us." Naruto commented.

"This formation seems to be useless as well." Yamaato added. "He's been dancing around all of our attacks so far."

I jumped up to the branch the masked man was on and ignored the group of Konoha. I wondered if I could make a break for it. Itachi was going to be dead soon. What if he had any sort of information I needed? No. He would've made sure to let me know of it, or left it somewhere tucked away in a safe place for me to find. I stared off even more. Sasuke. I hoped he was okay.

The worst of it all was the kiss. It was starting to make me care even deeper for him and that scared me. I couldn't let my personal feelings get in the way. I just couldn't. It was going to affect everything about this mission.

Not to mention Itachi. What was I supposed to do now? He was going to be dead no doubt about it. Itachi was strong and I knew if he really wanted to he could kill Sasuke. But he wouldn't just like years and years ago when he spared Sasuke. He would never kill his little brother. And when I learned that, when I began this mission, I had already knew who the victor was going to be.

I heard buzzing and turned around, Shino, submerged in bugs. He always creeped me out. And during this whole ordeal I almost forgot that he was even here.

"Yikes! Are you from the Aburame clan?!" the man shouted. I looked to him in confusion. How did he know the surname of Shino? I was sure that villages everywhere knew of a clan that possessed the ability to use bugs as a weapon. But how on earth did he know the name, and right of the bat too. No pauses to think or even try to extract the memory of the name from deep in his past. "These swarms of bugs are nasty!"

"It's not often I get to see you so pumped up." Kiba said looking over to Shino.

Shino was saying something, I saw his lips moves but I heard distant mumbles, the words I could barely make out.

"Go!" Shino said, and after his command the bugs flew towards us.

"Seriously, that's so nasty!" And then he dodged them like it was the most simple thing in the world, like dodging a ball coming at you in slow motion.

I dodged fine myself but not as with ease like Akatsuki mystery man,

Shino mumbled again and the bugs, more like expanded than scattered around him. He looked for a way out of the gross entrapment but there was nowhere to go.

"There's no running from that." Kakashi said. "It's impossible to dodge all of those insects." The bugs got closer and closer to him and started getting almost on his body, crawling and swarming, I could only cringe at the sight.

"Wait!" he yelled from the encasement of bugs. After all the cries coming from him he was not longer in a circle of bugs it almost looked as if he became a bug man, and you could see his outline perfectly. I was going to have to do something then, I moved my hands up and began weaving signs, I was going to drown the buggers.

Yamato's wood came inching up and had him surrounded, I was still building up chakra. I had to get this done quickly.

And then as soon as I took a huge gulp of air, the bugs dispersed, scattered, and the masked man wasn't there. I stopped in my tracks, and help back the water. My eyes widened, what the hell just happened? I couldn't see him anywhere, where did he go?

"Oi!" I heard a yell from below, I looked down startled and narrowed my eyes to Kiba, the person behind the yell. "Where did your friend go?!" He sounded annoyed, and as a matter of fact I would be too.

"I wouldn't really call him my friend." I said to him and then looked back to the spot where he had vanished, and the Leaf talked amongst themselves. It was odd how they talked and I couldn't even care what they were saying, before I would've been listening intently, hold on to each word. And now I wasn't concerned at all with their agenda, their plans, or had the feeling to awkwardly ask how life was treating them. I cut them off. I had no ties with them. If one tragically died I don't think I would be as upset as I should be. Which made me cringe and feel even more guilty than I already felt.

"Found him!" Hinata yelled and then pointed off to the opposite direction to where we were looking.

"OH!" he yelled and started to wave. "Howdy."

Kiba had taken off towards him I could see the annoyance and frustration fuming from him. But didn't these people ever learn. They haven't even put a finger on him. Kiba whirled around and headed straight for him, again masked man dodged right out-of-the-way, all he had to do was take a sidestep, and Kiba went straight through the tree's branch and into the ground.

I saw it, something familiar. And I smiled. Finally someone I sort of knew. I jumped right on over to the masked man to watch the plant like thing emerge from the branch.

"How'd it go?" he asked the plant. I'm sure this day was getting even stranger for the Leaf as they watched a plant come from the tree branch and watched as their foe not only watched it sprout, and intently stared, but talked to it.

The fly trap opened up and a voice rasped. "It's over." Soon a person was completely visible half, black and half white, with green hair nonetheless.

I didn't really know Zetsu that well, I've heard of him, and ran into him once while with Sasuke and the others but never brought him up afterwards to them. I figured I'd keep it to myself. He didn't attack me back then, and I didn't even think he saw me, so from then on I considered him and acquaintance, and just that. "Sasuke won." he said. This time in the nicer less raspy voice. "Uchiha Itachi is dead." sweat dropped from my head. And I inwardly sighed while looking to Kakashi out of the corner of my eye to make sure he was listening to all of this.

Everyone had this gaping expression on their face. Knowing that their mission or whatever this was has failed. Naruto looked crushed and the hope of bringing both of us home shattered like glass.

Masked man took a step back and squealed like a kid on Christmas, "That's unbelievable!" he yelled "...or not." he said, and then looked down to the Leaf, the chill, the terrible feeling I got came back. My stomach churned and I thought I was either going to pass out, throw up, or both. "It's just as I thought." he said. It was in a completely different, deeper voice. What the hell was going on? Who was this? Fear shivered through my bones I shook from a chill in the air.

"Sasuke's down too, so what now? He might be hanging on by a thread." Zetsu said. It brought me back to reality. Those words he spoke so simply. My chest hurt and the need and feeling to throw up intensified. Zetsu said it straight to Naruto's face like it wasn't information that he was feeding to either of us, but was specifically meant to be heard by Naruto.

"Hey, you spiky, aloe vera bastard!" Naruto yelled, pointing to Zetsu. Oh, great now he was going to make this worse. "Where the hell is Sasuke!?"

"Aloe vera?!" White Zetsu mumbled annoyed.

"Ignore him." Black Zetsu rasped.

"I shall continue my fight with you another time." masked man said and then walked towards me. I couldn't help but back away. My eyes were saucers, my hands shook, my feet and legs trembled and the fear was taking over me completely. Snap out of it Sakura! I told myself but there was no use. He got closer and closer.

I looked down to the others worriedly realizing that my life might end right here, right now, and gave a pleading glance to Kakashi the only one that I could trust would get the others out of here if this became bad and much more bloody than initially anticipated. I wouldn't do any good to anyone if they were killed in the process of this mission. By Kakashi's face just stood agape in a fear like my own.

The masked man was right next to me now and in one hit to the head I went down onto the branch and hurdled towards the ground. I was going to be dizzy when I hit the ground I could already tell and with all the strength I could muster up to land on the ground on my feet, dizzy, and almost collapsing onto the ground. I held my head but it was going to do me little good to run or try and escape. He was down by me now.

"Don't touch her!" Naruto screamed.

And then I saw it, sharringan. I was shocked and became motionless. I couldn't respond to Naruto's outburst as much as I wanted to yell at him to shut up and get out of here but it seemed I lost my voice too. For the second time today though I shook moving to get a kunai and made a scratch on my ankle to snap out of dreamland and into reality. Now it all made sense, he was absolutely the one to send me into a genjustu. But why? So he could take all the glory himself stopping a skilled troop of the Leaf? "Who are you?!" I yelled. "I don't care about whatever you have planned, I need to get to Sasuke!" I said in a panicked manner. He came towards me, but vanished and appeared behind me, and then hit me on the back, sending my straight into darkness.

Kakashi watched in horror, he couldn't do much to protect Sakura, and he was sure as hell more confused than anything. How the hell did he posses the Sharingan? Who was this man? Sakura didn't know him...which added to the confusion. At least she was as lost as he was. And now she was out cold. He should have dragged everyone out here like she said at the very beginning. This was all giving him a gut feeling that these two were more dangerous than they thought.

The masked man picked up Sakura and threw her over his shoulder. Her limp body making him twitch.

"Let her go! Get your filthy hands off her!" Naruto screamed. "Don't to-"

"Naruto!" he yelled to him giving him a death glare that read, 'if he doesn't kill you I'l kill you myself'

Kakaski looked back up the man who was a complete mystery. His free hand up above his head and his terrible ambiance sky rocketed into a new form of evil.

"Farewell." he cooed, and then completely vanished with Sakura with him.

Yes sir.

Finally I got this updated.
