-'You have to live life to learn from it. Not everything is learnt by the books.'

Sakura walked straight ahead of Sasuke. She was never use to following people so she made her own moves and that didn't please Sasuke. He was so use to Sakura always following faithfully behind him. She was never at his side or ahead of him so the entire scene felt odd. Sakura was looking around and frowned. She bent down for a moment and then stood up again.

"This way." She muttered to herself taking a few steps forward. She moved towards a cave and smirk. "In here!" she shouted before punching her fist into the earth. It split apart and torn open the cave. A blur of orange burst from the cave and landed a few feet from Sakura.

"I see you found us." Naruto said but it wasn't his voice but the fox speaking. A light erupted from his stomach and the fox flew out. Naruto's head fell forward. "But it should be expected from you after all you can track anyone following their charka."

Sasuke frowned. What that the same skill as Karin? Sakura looked smug, "You sure know a lot. It would seem as if you have all of Uzumaki-kun's memories including on my skills and abilities."

The fox grinned, "But of course. It's a pity I don't know much about that Sasuke but he seems to be weaker than the one I have the memories of."

Sasuke growled. He did not take lightly to being called weak. Sakura's eyes darkened as she settled into a battle stance, "Don't judge someone before you see them on the battlefield." She said darkly.

She leapt back and landed at Sasuke's side. "Listen up." Sakura said softly, "I don't know your skills but I can tell that you have large charka reserves but there is someone odd about it but I do know this I can't take Uzumaki-kun down on my own."

"Tsk why would I help you?" Sasuke asked. Sakura smirked, "You will trust me."

The fox looked annoyed. He disappeared into the orb of light and back into Naruto's stomach. Naruto's head lift up and he grinned, "The real fight will begin now." He said darkly.

Sakura clenched her fists. "Whatever has happen to you Uzumaki-kun I will find a way to help you."

"You should give up child. There is no hope for your teammate." Naruto said darkly speaking in the fox's voice.

Sasuke felt his Sharingan activate and looked up to see the sky become distorted. "I am afraid there will be no fighting today." Madara remarked as he emerged forward and landed between them.

He quickly locked eyes with Sakura and she found herself being grabbed on my black vines. They wrapped around her legs and her wrists. "What?!" she exclaimed.

She looked up just in time to see Naruto disappeared in an orb of darkness. "NO!" she screamed. She gasped as a large black hole appeared under her. "No way." She whispered. She glanced at Sasuke who looked different.

"I knew you were different but not this different that you will watch me disappear." She whispered softly. Sakura felt her body being pulled further into the hole. Madara watched as Sakura pulled further into his dimension. Soon everything will fall back into place.

Suddenly, there was a burst of charka and Madara looked down to see Sasuke stabbing his katana into his justu. The hole disappeared and Sakura fell into Sasuke's arms.

"Why did you?" she asked. "Don't think of this as anything." Sasuke said coldly, "I think you can be useful to me."

Sakura growled, "Useful?! I am some object to you?! I don't know how you treat the other me but if it's anything like this I would advise her to punch you down!" Sasuke frowned again.

Madara landed in front of Sasuke, "What do you think you are doing?" Madara asked.

Sasuke sucked on his tongue. "Hn. Send her back. She is no use to you." Sasuke said.

Sakura felt her blood boil and slapped Sasuke across his cheek, "You bastard! One moment I am an object to you and the next I don't exist!"

Madara tilted his head, "You are right Sasuke. She is nothing to me." He said, "I will send her back. She is useless."

Sakura watched as Madara's Sharingan activated and gasped. She could feel like her body was being ripped away from this world. She screamed out. Suddenly the pain stopped and Sakura looked forward to see Naruto standing in front of her. "Are you okay Haruno-chan?" Naruto asked.

He was finally speaking in his own voice, "I hope you copied the justu. I don't know how long I can hold him back but he is weaker than the Madara I trained with."

"What's going on?" Sakura asked. Naruto offered her his hand and helped her to her feet. "When we return home I will explain everything to you." Naruto said, "So please trust me."

He then faced Sasuke, "Please hurry. I don't know how long Kyuubi will suppress him please be careful."

"Hn. Just get out of here." Sasuke said. His Sharingan twirled to life and huge Sharingan appeared above Naruto and Sakura. Sakura's body suddenly felt light and she closed her eyes when she remembered something. She quickly looked at Sasuke and shouted,

"I'm sorry! And thank you!" After that she was gone. Sasuke stared down at Madara's unconscious body. He wondered what this Naruto really did to end to Madara but at this point it didn't matter. Madara would have to settle this time around. With that thought, Sasuke sheathed back his katana and walked away.

-'In the end she says what I want to say.'

In the next chapter all answers will finally be out in the open. Sasuke and Sakura will meet again and what happened in this chapter.
