I saw your reviews that some of you liked it and some of you don't. So I've worked all night working on this chapter, not sure it's much as you hope but something come in mind. Enjoy the chapter and I hope you like it, if not, I understand.
The Anbu ninjas searched the whole village, yet no sign of Sakura anywhere. Kakashi's keeping a low-file on her disappearance while training Sasuke, Naruto found himself a trainer, one of the legendary sanin, Jiraiya. As they're doing their training, they…
Kakashi was training Sasuke as soon as he now mastered the Chidori; about the exact time as Jiraya training Naruto trying to summon a toad and not a tadpole. As they were training they both have something running through minds.
"Sensei…" Sasuke said
"Hm…" Kakashi replied,
"About the other day, you haven't told me why you went back to the hospital" he said.
"It's nothing for you to worry about Sasuke" Kakashi said
"Why should I not be worry about, I saw the look on your face and it had something to do with Sakura" Sasuke said.
Kakashi looked away and didn't say anything,
"What is that you're not telling me?" Sasuke asked as he looked at him, he still didn't say anything.
"What happen to Sakura?" he asked, Kakashi looked him still not saying anything,
"Why aren't you answering, damn it?" he became angry.
"…Sasuke…I can't tell you" he said
"Why not?" Sasuke asked
"Because I said so that's why not" he answered. Sasuke turned away and went back to training with his Chidori.
At the waterfall…
"Summoning jutsu" Naruto said as he performed a jutsu, until it show another tadpole.
"You fool! Every time you try to summon a toad you always end up summoning a tadpole" Jiraya said.
"Hey I'm doing the best I can, besides all you care about is watching girls you pervy sage" Naruto said.
"I told you not to call me that…Uuh! I don't even know why I'm still hanging out with you" Jiraya complained.
"You're here to help me with my training" Naruto said
"I rather go back to my research than to hang out with you" he murmured.
"'Hmph' let him wine for all I care…but all I really care about is…Sakura…for some reason I haven't seen her ever since the Preliminary and she's no longer in the hospital…where could she be?" he thought.
Jiraya looked at him as he can tell he has something in his mind,
"Naruto…" he said, Naruto got his senses and turned to him,
"Yeah…" he said.
"Is there something…or someone in your mind?" he asked, Naruto blushed and looked away,
"No…not really" he lied.
"Oh come on Naruto, I can tell you're thinking of someone…like a girl perhaps" Jiraya raised his left eye-brow while looking at him.
Naruto blushed even more,
"I…don't know what you're talking about" he said as he turned his back on him,
"Surely you want to talk about it" Jiraya folded his arms.
"Um…well…you see…" he slowly turned around,
"There was…this girl I really like…her name is Sakura" he smiled a bit,
"Sakura uh! She sound like very special person" Jiraya said.
"She is, and…nah, I don't think you to hear it, it's kind of personal" Naruto look away,
"Oh no, please go ahead I pretty much like to hear about you're little girlfriend" Jiraya said. Naruto blushed again,
"Well she's not really my girlfriend, she'd my teammate 'but I sure wish she was.' It's kind of like this…"
Somewhere at the mountains close to the village…
Sasuke just did his Chidori for the second time, Kakashi examined his technique and he can tell that something's bothering him.
"Let's take a break for a moment" he said, Sasuke felt his hands trembling when he gathered a lot of his chakra.
"I wonder what he's thinking" Kakashi thought.
"Say Sasuke…" he said, Sasuke cornered his eye to him,
"Is there something bothering?" he asked, he looked away,
"No, not at all" he lied; as he had some images of her floating around his head.
Flashback…
"…as I should know I've seen and know talented ninja and their unique abilities; but that guy Sasuke Uchiha over there is not nearly one of them"
"That would be the center of none of your business, and how about doing us all a favor and shut your mouth, because it involves you too, Uchiha"
"As I told you before, it's none of your business, so why don't you make like a tree and leave"
"Well it comes to show that the Uchiha clan is not so great after all"
She giggled.
Flashback over…
"Why is she also in my mind? Why can't I stop thinking about her?" he thought.
"You're thinking about her are you?" he stuttered when Kakashi stood behind him,
"I've been watching you and Naruto that every time you both argue, it involves Sakura" he said. Sasuke looked away not saying anything,
"Look Sasuke, I can tell that you do care about her and deny the fact that you have feelings for her as well as Naruto" Kakashi said as he folded his arms.
Sasuke still not saying anything, though he felt his heart racing,
"It can't be…" he thought deeply.
"You know we can always talk about it" Kakashi said, Sasuke slowly turned around and looked at him.
"So tell me what's in your mind" he said, Sasuke look down but still facing him,
"The thing is…"
Back to the waterfall…
"The day when we first met, she was different from other people in this village and doesn't see me as something else" Naruto explained,
"I see, go on" Jiraya said.
"Sakura was the first person who likes me for me, even with this demon inside me; she was never afraid of me" Naruto place his hand to his stomach where the demon was sealed in him.
"Seems that you really do like her" Jiraya said.
"A lot that I always thought…"
Back to the mountains…
"The day when we first met, I always thought she was some girl who has no talent whatsoever" Sasuke explained,
"Is that so…" Kakashi said.
"Until she showed much talent than I ever seen, I never believe that she's better than me and she always insulted me and my clan. No matter how hard I tried she's a few steps ahead of me, yet…"
Waterfall…
"That she was the one, the girl I've been waiting for. She was always there by my side and believes in me; even when she's not acting like a ninja, she was being a better person and that's why I love about her" Naruto smiled and blushed again,
"Talk about young love" Jiraya said as he smiled.
"Not only that she's a special person but also an awesome fighter, but what bothers me is that…"
Mountain…
"For some reason, she was kind of like me" Sasuke said
"About when she lost others that are close to her and care about?" Kakashi asked.
"Yeah, when my clan was wiped out…by my brother…so I took a thought…" he pictured Orochimaru in his mind. He tightens his fist and made an angry look,
"That demon…whoever he was is responsible for ruining Sakura's life…just like my brother ruined mine" he said.
"Sasuke…" Kakashi thought, Sasuke calmed down and continued,
"We both know it's her that he's after, I don't know why but I will not let him hurt the person that I…" he stopped himself that he almost slipped his tongue. Kakashi know what he was about to say,
"You…?" he asked, Sasuke turned away and blushed once again. Kakashi smiled under his masked and said,
"No worry, I know what you're about to say, so you don't have to say it."
"What is wrong with me? I'm supposed to be an avenger not some…some…'sigh'… what if I am? I'm not sure what to think about, my revenge of my brother or my feelings of my comrade?" he thought. He went silence until he heard,
"Though, I was curious…" he turned back to his sensei,
"Since you and Naruto both care about Sakura, is that why you're both fighting over her?" he asked.
"We did that since…"
Waterfall…
"I'm not the only one who likes her" Naruto said,
"Oh…" Jiraya replied.
"I found out that Sasuke also likes her and try to make a move on her, there's no way that I'll let him have her; he has to get through me first" Naruto said,
"Hm…it seems there comes to show that when two boys fall for one girl, they form a love triangle; I've seen that all the time" Jiraya said.
"But there's something else, she seems to be hiding something and won't tell me about it. Like where she come from or what her aunt looks like" Naruto exampled,
"Her aunt?" Jiraya asked.
"Yeah her aunt, I asked Sakura where she performed her skilled and jutsu and she told me that her aunt taught her. So I figure that her aunt is her trainer and she live somewhere in this village" Naruto said,
"So have you met her aunt?" he asked.
"Well…no, I never actually met her aunt nor know what she looks like" Naruto answered,
"That's too bad, because I wouldn't mind meeting her myself if you know what I mean" Jiraya smirk as he watched some women playing at the waterfall.
"Pervy sage, can't you think of something else besides girls?" Naruto asked,
"Well, I'm not the only one who's thinking about a girl" Jiraya raised his left eye-brow while looking at Naruto with a smirk still on his face.
Naruto shrugged and turned red as he pictured Sakura smiling in his head,
"So why not you get back to training while I'll do my research" Jiraya said as he looked at the women again.
"Though something kept on bothering me" Naruto said, Jiraya turned to him again and asked,
"What is it?"
"It's about the other day when…"
Mountain…
"Our first mission to the Land of Waves" Sasuke said,
"I see, that would explain why you both are more combative with each other" Kakashi said.
"Yeah…but still…" Sasuke said,
"Hm…" Kakashi respond.
"Her past has something to do with her action…maybe her identity don't you think?" he asked,
"I'm not so sure myself, but you may have a good point there" Kakashi said.
"Though, I would like to know why Mrs. Haruno denied that Sakura is her only daughter; exactly what happened to her sister?" he thought.
"That's enough break for now, let's get back to training" he said,
"Alright…but tell me" Sasuke said
"Hm…" Kakashi said.
"I want to know if…"
Waterfall…
"She was no where in the village" Naruto said,
"How so?" Jiraya asked.
"I haven't seen her since the Preliminary she was no longer in the hospital nor at home. I've searched everywhere and every place but I couldn't find her" Naruto explained,
"Maybe she's somewhere training with her aunt perhaps, so where ever she may be I'm sure she's alright" Jiraya said, Naruto looked down at the water flowing from the waterfall.
"I guess" he said,
"I shouldn't be worry about he though I wonder if…"
Mountain…
"She's alright?" Sasuke asked, Kakashi looked away,
"I'm afraid I can't answer that either" he said,
"Damn it" Sasuke thought.
"Now go back on working on your Chidori and try not to use too much of your chakra this time" Kakashi said,
"Fine" Sasuke said.
"I should be thinking about my training, though…"
Waterfall…
"She's somewhere in the village, I don't want to risk losing her…" Naruto thought as he remembered that kiss back in the forest.
"…I kept thinking…"
Mountain…
"How my life would be if I never met her…" Sasuke thought as he remembered that kiss back in the bridge.
"…and there's no way…"
Waterfall…
"I'm going to let that bastard have her, he's gonna have to…"
Mountain…
"Get through me first, because when that time comes…"
Waterfall…
"One of us will have her…"
Together…
"…and it's going to be me"
Mountain…
"Chidori" Sasuke said as he held lighting in his hand, used it and hit a big rock in front of him,
"Well done!" Kakashi said.
Waterfall…
"Summoning jutsu" Naruto said as he summon…another tadpole,
"You baka!" Jiraya said.
Through the forest away from the village…
'Achoo' Sakura sneezed,
"Seems like somebody is already talking about me" she thought as she rubbed her nose.
She was at a field practicing her aim of her jutsu her aunt taught her the other day. Kom appeared over the hill,
"Sarla" she said, Sakura turned to her.
"Yes aunt Kom" she said,
"I brought some people who will join us for your training" she said as she turned back over the hill. As it reveals 3 boys appearing over the hill, Sakura was surprised as she said,
"Racarsu" she ran up to him,
"Sarla" he said as they both embrace each other,
"I can't believe you're here, what happen to you? The last time I saw you and your brothers was at the forest and I didn't see you at the tower" Sakura said as she looked at him.
"We were on our way to the tower, until your aunt found us and asked for a favor" Racardu said.
"We both agreed on it, so we left the forest along with the scrolls, so we can help out with your training for your Final Exam" Racarsu said,
"Plus, she also told us we won't make it to the Final Exam anyway" Racarnu said.
Sakura turned to her aunt,
"Aunt Kom…why?" she asked
"I figure that you need some decent combat practice to extend to your next level, so I find these Ichiba brothers the right people to help you go through it" Kom explained.
"My next level?" Sakura said,
"I'll tell you all about it as soon as we continue with your training Sarla" Kom said,
"Uh…right" Sakura said.
Sakura stood to her position at the center, as the Ichiba brothers surrounded her in their position. Kom stood at cliff watching them,
"You ready Sarla?" she asked.
Sakura smirked as she turned her eyes green to violet,
"I'm ready" she said,
"Then begin!" Kom said.
I'm going to have to stop here; and I know what you're thinking that Sakura is not a prize to be won, but as far as you read my story surely you might see what I'm talking about. Any way, I hope you like, and I would like if you review to me about it; and I'll be working on the other chapter. I'll see you guys later. BabyKat out!
