Last time on Gomenasai…

"My job here is done" Sasuke said as he stared at Sakura once more. "She'll be out the whole night"

"You erased her memories of you, didn't you" Itachi said. "With your Sharingan"

"Ah" Sasuke said.

"Is this what you and Naruto-kun went to talk to Tsunade-sama about?" Sai asked as he came into the room.

"Sasuke talked to Tsunade about his plan. She thinks it would be a good thing. To Sakura, it will be like Sasuke never existed" Kakashi said.

Sasuke began to walk away from the group as he adjusted his backpack. "Dobe" Sasuke said.

"What?" Naruto asked.

"You better make sure she's alive when I come back." Sasuke said as he disappeared into the night.

Naruto watched his best friend disappear as he looked back at Sakura who was in his arms.

"I'll protect you no matter what" Naruto said. "Because that's my way of the ninja and I never go back on my word!"

A lone tear rolled down the corner of Sakura's left eye.

"Sasuke-kun…" Sakura whispered.

XxXxXxX

Naruto walked entered Sakura's room the next morning after talking to Tsunade to inform her that Sasuke left last night with his group. Tsunade decided to come along and see if there were any damage to Sakura due to Sasuke's jutsu. Later on, she was going to train Sakura.

The two watched as green eyes slowly opened as Sakura quickly got up.

"Naruto-san" Sakura yawned. She soon noticed Tsunade staring at her as well.

"Good morning Shishou" Sakura said.

"How do you feel Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked worried.

"My head hurts a bit. But that's what happens some times when you get up to quickly" Sakura said as she smiled. "What are you doing here Shishou?"

"I came to train you today" Tsunade said. "I won't be doing anything hard today. Think of it as a warm up today. Why don't you eat first before we train?"

Sakura nodded as she walked herself down to the kitchen. Tsunade watched Sakura go as she sighed. "You guys removed everything that could remind her of Sasuke right?"

Naruto nodded. "From room to pictures. Kurenai-sensei put up a jutsu in Sasuke's room just in case"

"Good. If Sasuke's theory is right, this will slow down if not prevent Sakura's death from happening as it will give Sasuke and his team more time." Tsunade said. "Since it's your turn to take care of Sakura for the next two months, I'd have her move with you into your house, but from what I heard, you have a really messy apartment"

Naruto let out a nervous laugh. "Why don't Sakura and I move into her apartment? It's big enough for two people"

Tsunade put some thought into it. "I'd be okay with it as long as you take away anything that will remind her of Sasuke."

"Thanks Baa-chan. I'll have Kakashi-sensei and the others help me with that" Naruto said.

Tsunade nodded with approval. "Yosh! Make sure you get it done by the end of today. I'll be taking Sakura from you for the day so you don't have to worry about her"

XxXxXxX

Naruto and the gang stared at Sakura's apartment. Sai felt weird. The last time he came here was...before everything began to fall apart.

"Nobody has entered this house for four months" Ino said as she took a step forward and went up to Sakura's plant on the floor. Digging into the soil, she took out a key. Ino opened the door as she let everyone in.

"Okay, we're going to divide into teams." Ino said taking charge. "Search around the house and put everything you think will remind Sakura of Sasuke into these boxes. We'll all meet in Sakura's living room in half an hour. We will all go with our groups. My group will go into Sakura's room. Hinata, you're group will be looking in the living room. Tenten, you're checking the kitchen and dining room table. Naruto, your group can go anywhere you want since you guys been here a lot. You can help the others find things."

Everyone split up as Naruto started in the living room with Hinata's group. Of course, the first things he saw were the pictures on the wall. Pictures of the memories Sakura had forgotten.

The biggest picture on the wall was of a little girl. It was Sakura She was with two adults in the picture. There was a woman with red hair and blue eyes crouching down next to her. On the other side, there was a man with white hair and green eyes. Naruto almost laughed. Was this how Sakura gotten pink hair? He expected the mother to have the same hair color as Sakura. But he knew she got her beautiful green orbs from her father. Looking at the other pictures, some of them were her and her parents or just herself when she was little. The next pictures were of her and Ino when they were a bit older, probably 8 years old or something. There were pictures of Sakura and the girls during their hang outs. Temari was in some of the pictures as well. There were pictures of Sakura and the sand siblings when Sakura went to visit Suna. Naruto smiled. Each picture told a story.

Naruto's expression changed when he saw the Team 7 pictures without Sai and Captain Yamato. This was during the Hanabi festival back when they were genin.

"Sakura-chan…" Naruto whispered as he took it down. "Here Shino, put this in the box."

Naruto continued to take down pictures of the old Team 7. He soon stared at one picture. It was of her and Sasuke. He immediately took it down and put it in the box. "I got all the pictures down"

"I think that's all of it here" Hinata said. "Thanks Naruto-kun"

Naruto nodded as he went to the kitchen. Kakashi was there with Lee's team.

"Are you done here Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked. Kakashi nodded.

"We took out all of Sasuke's favorite foods and the plates, bowls, and cups he would always use when we come here for lunch or dinner" Kakashi said.

Naruto soon headed to Sakura's room. Ino was removing the first picture of Team 7.

"This picture always reminded her of Sasuke and Naruto when they left to train with Orochimaru and Jiraiya." Ino said as she handed it to Shikamaru. "It would always make her cry, realizing how alone she was and how her team couldn't go back to how it used to be"

Naruto knocked on the door to make himself noticed. "Hey. Sai and Captain Yamato isn't with you guys?"

Chouji shook his head. "They went to watched Sakura's training instead."

Naruto looked around as he saw a familiar purple teddy bear. He grabbed it and handed it over to Shikamaru. "Sasuke won this for her when we went to a festival"

Naruto and Ino sighed for the rest of the day as they removed everything that could trigger Sakura's memory.

"We're good to go" Neji said. "We're going to take these boxes to the Hokage"

"Thanks everyone" Naruto said.

Kiba smiled. "You're not the only one who cares about Sakura a lot. She's important to all of us too"

"Call us if you need any help" Tenten said.

"I'll drop off Sakura here later with Itachi. I asked him to pack all of Sakura's stuff back at the Uchiha compound" Kakashi said.

XxXxXxX

"What's this place Kaka-sensei?" Sakura asked as he and Itachi led Sakura to her apartment.

"This is where you live" Kakashi said. Sakura had a confused look.

"Then whose house was I in this morning?" Sakura asked.

"That was my house" Itachi said. Kakashi was scared that Sakura would remember Sasuke by seeing or talking to Itachi.

"Oh" Sakura said as she smiled. "I slept over right?'

Itachi nodded. Kakashi opened Sakura's door as Sakura walked in. she paused while looking at everything. The boys watched her actions as she entered the living room. She was looking at the pictures on the wall. There were no pictures of Sasuke whatsoever.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as he pulled her into a hug. Sakura giggled.

"Hello to you too Naruto-san" Sakura smiled.

"I'll take it from here" Naruto said as he took the bags from Itachi. Itachi and Kakashi nodded before leaving the house.

"Are you going to be staying with me, Naruto-san?" Sakura asked. Her cheeks were tinted with pink.

Naruto nodded. "You're my best friend Sakura-chan. I want to do whatever I can to help you"

"Thanks Naruto" Sakura said dropping the 'san'. "I hope I won't be a burden-"

Sakura's eyes darkened as Naruto looked at her worried. She seemed deep in thought.

"You're a burden to the team!"

Who said that to her?

"Sakura-chan? Are you okay?" Naruto asked waving his hand in front of her.

Sakura shook her head as she smiled. "I'm fine. Did you eat anything Naruto?"

"Not yet. We'll go out to eat after we unpack your things in your room" Naruto said leading her to her room.

Sakura's eyes widened as she looked at the room. It seemed familiar yet it didn't. "This is my room?"

"Well, you haven't been here in four months, so you probably don't remember" Naruto said.

"Where was I in four month?" Sakura asked.

"You were at Ino's then Itachi's while…we reconstructed your house" Naruto said proudly of his lie.

"I'll unpack, later" Sakura said as she and Naruto left her apartment. "Let's go to Ichiraku. It's your favorite"

Naruto's eyes widened as did Sakura's. "How did I know that?" Sakura asked out loud.

"Don't worry about it Sakura-chan" Naruto said happily. "Let's go get some ramen!"

Sakura smiled as she held Naruto's hand.

The couple passed by the Yamanaka flower shop. Shikamaru was helping Ino out as he saw the couple walk by. He called Ino out as she saw the sight before them.

"Hopefully they'll tell each other how they feel" Shikamaru said smiling.

"With Valentine coming up, we can help" Ino said grinning at her boyfriend.

"How troublesome. Just let them find out by themselves" Shikamaru said.

Ino pouted. "Have you forgotten? Naruto is an idiot and Sakura doesn't really remember her love for Naruto. We have to help them!"

"Fine, you troublesome woman" Shikamaru said.

"Love you too" Ino said as she gave Shikamaru a peck on the lips.

XxXxXxXxX

"Tsunade" A voice said. "It's a surprise you're not drinking"

"Haven't seen you in a while Jiraiya" Tsunade said.

"I was doing some research about the scroll Akatsuki stole from us. I found the hideout of where it is" Jiraiya said.

"It's dangerous. You don't even know what they're planning!" Tsunade said frowning.

"I'll be fine Tsunade. If I find out something. I'll tell you as soon as possible" Jiraiya said.

"Fine. You better come back" Tsunade said.

Jiraiya smirked. "Just bet that I won't make it back. That bad luck of yours is good for something. Tell Naruto that I'll be training him when I get back"

"Take care and don't do anything rash unless you have t-" Tsunade was cut off as Jiraiya brought his face close to hers and kissed her.

"You worry too much Tsunade." Jiraiya said. Tsunade was still in shock as her face turned red. Jiraiya didn't know if it was due to her embarrassment or anger. With a wink, Jiraiya left the village.

"That Jiraiya" Tsunade said slowly smiling as she touched her lips.

XxXxXxX

Jiraiya ran to the cavern where he saw the guy with the scroll enter to. Sneaking in, he saw the guy standing as he pulled out the revival scroll. Looking around, he frowned. Why did this place look familiar?

'What is he planning to do?' Jiraiya wondered. He had to get closer. Getting as close as he could, his eyes widened when he identified the man as Kabuto, Orochimaru's follower.

Kabuto had smeared his blood on the retrieval scroll as he did hand signs. Soon a spirit formed in front of Kabuto. A woman with long white hair and purple eyes came into view.

"Kameko-sama" Kabuto said as he bowed down to her.

Kameko! Jiraiya's mouth dropped. She was one of the strongest Kunoichi. Her powers rivaled that of Tsunade. But she wanted to take over the whole world. Tsunade with the help of Sakura's great aunt, Kiyoko, stripped most of her powers away from her and destroyed her body. Her soul however was still strong as it tried to fight Tsunade. Sakura's great aunt had to trap her in a mirror. But that was 40 years ago, when they were in their 20's.

"Who dares awaken me from my spell" Kameko demanded. Kabuto held his cool façade.

"Kabuto, my Queen" Kabuto said. "I'm here to help you out of that mirror. In return, you must make my wish come true"

"Interesting offer, Kabuto-san. But you must prove your loyalty killing our unwanted guest. Come on over Jiraiya-kun"

"You're trying to revive Kameko?!" Jiraiya shouted at Kabuto.

Kameko smirked. "Kabuto, release me from my holds. I want to exercise my powers"

"As you wish" Kabuto said as he released Kameko.

"I was defeated by that teammate of yours, Tsunade…" Kameko said with hatred. "But I'll make sure that this time, I will not be defeated."

Jiraiya watched as Kameko raised her hand parallel to her body and froze. A fire ball began to head towards him.

"Interesting" Kameko said bitterly. "I only have ¼ of my powers"

Jiraiya smirked. "Tsunade and Kiyoko stripped most of your powers before they killed you" He jumped in the air to avoid it.

"Hm. Lovely" Kameko hissed. "Seems I have to do some searching"

"Like I'll step aside and let you find the objects" Jiraiya said.

"Where's the Haruno Priestess that sealed up my powers?" Kameko asked as she punched and kicked at Jiraiya. Jiraiya blocked them with his own attacks.

"Dead" Jiraiya said as he kicked her in the stomach.

Kameko fell on her knees. "What a pity" She said as slowly got up. "And I was hoping to have another rematch with her"

Jiraiya waited as Kameko charged at him. Activating the Five Elements Unseal, he hit Kameko full in the stomach as she gasped.

"What did you do?" Kameko asked as she tried to counterattack it. Intead of having her powers seal, they all turned into five different orbs.

"I removed all your powers and sending you back to the mirror." Jiraiya explained.

"At least tell me where Kiyoko hid the rest of my powers went before I die" Kameko pleaded as she was sent into the mirror. Five orbs of light formed in front of the mirror as it flew out of the cave.

"Each power is sealed into an object. Your element of water is sealed into the hero water in the Hidden Village of the Waterfalls. The element of wind has been sealed up in an object in the Wind country. Even I don't know where. The last three are protected deep inside Konoha. The fire element is hidden within the Kyuubi. For the last two elements, you can never get it since Kiyoko Haruno is deceased. Her bloodline, Angel's tears…no other family member besides her has it! You'll never get your full powers now."

"Damn you!" Kameko said as Kabuto snuck behind Jiraiya and pierced his chest with his hand.

Jiraiya's eyes widened as he quickly summoned a frog and wrote a code on it.

"Jiraiya-sama!" The frog cried. Jiraiya had fallen into the water. He stared up at the cave's ceiling.

"G-Go…and hurry" Jiraiya said. "Tell Tsunade that she actually won a bet" He said with a smile as he closed his eyes for the final time. Slowly his body sank into the water.

"Kabuto" Kameko called out from the mirror. "Awaken me in five years. I must regain my strength and think of a plan to gain all my powers. The powers I had before are sent to five different people. It wil be easy for me to locate it then. They will host it until I am able to regain them again."

"Are you sure?" Kabuto asked.

"Yes. But if you ever betray me, I will find a way to kill you" Kameko said as her image in the mirror disappeared. Kabuto sighed as he gently wrapped up the mirror and placed it in his backpack.

XxXxXxX

Gaara was eating lunch at their hotel in Konoha as Temari was doing the dishes. Gaara jumped when he heard the sound of dishes breaking.

"Temari?!" Gaara called out. A yellow orb hovered above her. The kanji for wind was on it as it slowly entered Temari. She soon fell towards the floor as Gaara caught her.

"Hey, Temari, wake up!" Gaara said shaking his sister. Temari took large gasp of air before falling unconscious.

"Damn it!" Gaara said. "I have to take her to the hospital"

XxXxXxX

Hinata and Neji were training with his team as a blue and red orb flew towards Hinata and Tenten.

"What the hell?" Neji said as Hinata's eyes darkened. The kanji for water was on it as it entered Hinata. She coughed out water as she fell to the ground.

"Hinata-sama!" Neji said scared. Hinata didn't respond at all. Lee had caught his girlfriend as Tenten screamed in pain. Her skin felt hot as a red orb with the kanji for fire entered her.

"Neji-kun, what's going on?" Lee said scared.

"We have to take them to the hospital immediately!" Neji said. "Tsunade can help them. Let's go!"

XxXxXxX

Shikamaru and Ino were walking around town as Shikamaru was talking about something that happened with Chouji. He noticed that Ino wasn't walking next to him anymore.

"Ino?" Shikamaru looked back to see Ino was in some sort of trance. A brown orb appeared in front of her. Ino slowly began to reach out of it as she read the kanji on it.

"Earth…" She said as her fingers touch it.

Shikamaru's eyes widened. "Ino, don't touch it!"

But she did. The orb entered her body as she flew a couple feet away from Shikamaru. He immediately ran to her as he tried to get her to wake up.

"Troublesome Ino!" Shikamaru said as he carried her bridal style towards the hospital.

XxXxXxX

Naruto was watching as Sakura was slowly spinning around. The two had finished lunch as they decided to visit Gaara and Temari at their apartment.

"I haven't see Gaara in a while" Sakura grinned.

"He missed you" Naruto smiled. He soon looked as Sakura had stopped moving as she was looking at a white orb in front of her. It had hints of pink.

"Sakura-chan?" Naruto said as he saw Sakura's hand reaching out for it.

"Sakura-chan, don't touch it!" Naruto shouted as he tried to grab Sakura before it was too late and it was. Sakura had touched it as her eyes widened.

"Heaven…" She spoke as she fell to the ground. A few minutes later, Sakura woke up.

"N-Naruto…" Sakura said as Naruto helped her up.

"Are you okay?" Naruto said.

"I feel…weird." Sakura whispered.

Naruto frowned. "We have to take you to Baa-chan"

As the two reached the hospital, Naruto was surprised to see Neji, Lee, Shikamaru, and Gaara there in the waiting room.

"What are you guys doing here?" Naruto asked.

"The girls" Neji said. "Some weird orb appeared before them as they've been unconscious ever since"

"Orb…was there a kanji on it?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah" Shikamaru said. "There was"

"The same thing happened to Sakura, but she's fine" Naruto said. Sakura smiled at the boys to emphasis his words.

"What is the meaning of this!" Tsunade shouted. Everyone jumped at the Hokage's booming voice. Shizune was crying as she was handing Tsunade one of Jiraiya's frogs. Naruto looked down the hall to see Tsunade on her knees as Shizune was trying to comfort her.

"No!" Tsunade cried. "NO! He can't die!"

"I'm afraid he is dead" the frog spoke. "He was killed in action. I'm sorry"

"He left a code on me, but even I can't translate it" The frog spoke.

"Shishou?" Sakura said as she went up to her.

"He's gone…" Tsunade whispered but her and Naruto could hear her.

"Who's gone?" Naruto asked.

"Jiraiya…" Tsunade cried. Naruto's eyes widened as he ran away.

"I'm sorry. I need some time alone" Tsunade said as she took the frog and ran to her office.

Shizune wiped her tears. "I have to go check on Ino and the girls"

"Ino?" Sakura said. "What's wrong with her?"

"From what I was told, a weird object appeared in front of them and caused them to fall unconscious" Shizune explained.

"Can I help?" Sakura said.

"Sakura, you know your condition." Shizune said.

Sakura frowned. "At least let me try"

Shizune stared at Sakura before sighing. "Fine, but if you feel any pain at all, you are to stop immediately!"

Sakura nodded as a nurse led Sakura to where Ino and the girls were.

"Ino! Hinata! Tenten! Temari!" Sakura cried. The moment Sakura stepped into the room, a large force of energy sent Shizune and the nurse flying out of the room. Hearing the screams, Neji and the others ran to where Sakura was. They were surprised at what they saw.

The girls were glowing as they were levitating in the air. The orbs had flown out of the girls as changed into one. Slowly it all went back to Sakura. Sakura's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she was shaking. Soon she fell towards the floor. Neji moved quickly to catch her as his cousin and the others slowly went back on their bed. They all quickly opened their eyes.

"Ino!" Shikamaru said as he went to his girlfriend.

"S-Shika…" Ino didn't finish as she just rested her head on him.

"Tenten!" Lee said as he saw Tenten looking around confused.

"Temari, are you alright?" Gaara asked. Temari nodded.

Hinata got up as she saw Sakura on the floor with Neji.

"Sakura-chan!" Hinata said as she ran to her friend. Sakura slowly opened her eyes as the Hyuuga cousins stared at Sakura with shock. Instead of her usual green eyes, her eyes were turning different colors: red, blue, yellow, brown, pinkish white, then back to her normal green ones.

A face appeared in Sakura's head. A woman with long white hair and purple eyes. Sakura clutched her head as she closed her eyes.

Who was she?

The story seems to have taken in a new twist! Do I sense a new enemy? It seems like Kameko has some history with Tsunade and Sakura's great aunt Kiyoko. Remember what Madara said before he died. He's not the only one going after Sakura's bloodline. He was speaking about Kameko. Interesting huh? I'm sorry about killing off Jiraiya, but I wanted Naruto to have a reason to go after Kameko later on. Anyways Review everyone.
