Chapter 1, Strange.
Sakura stirred as she started to wake up from a deep sleep. She opened her eyes a little but closed them again because of the sun light. She opened her eyes again, more slowly this time to let her eyes get used to the sun light. Once she was used to it she sat up and looked around. She noticed that she was in a forest, confused she stood up as she inspected the forest. After a while she recognized it. She was in fire country and not too far away from Konoha.
She tried to remember how she got there and searched her mind for answers. After a while her memories came back and she frowned. She wasn't supposed to be here, what had happened? She thought she maybe had fainted and that the rest took her here. She looked around again but there were no traces of people being anywhere near. So she dismissed that thought. Whatever had happened out there, she better had to find out. So she gathered her chakra to her feet and sped towards Konoha.
If the war was still going on, there wouldn't be many people in Konoha, except for the civilian people. On the way she thought back at what happened and tried to figure out how she got inside the forest.
The last thing she remembered was that she was healing someone, maybe she fainted because of chakra depletion? She didn't know, besides it would be strange they would just leave her behind inside the forest.
After a few minutes the gates of Konoha appeared and she smiled softly. Although she practically betrayed them, it had always been for her home. She wondered how Shisui and Itachi were doing, since they had fought Madara. Also she was worried for Naruto, he could control the Kyuubi's chakra now but Madara was strong. She wondered if they had defeated him.
She walked through the gates and noticed Kotetsu and Izumo sitting behind a desk. She gave a friendly nod their way and they raised their eye brows in surprise.
"Sakura?" Kotetsu questioned with surprise.
"Uh, yes?" She answered a bit bewildered.
"We didn't know you were out of the village." Kotetsu said and he looked at the list.
Sakura stared at him dumbfounded. Didn't he know there was a war going on? Come to think of it, hadn't he been fighting in it? She didn't know how to answer this and just looked at him with confusing eyes.
"Hmm, you didn't check out of the village, strange." Kotetsu said.
She thought about the last time she ran away, maybe they were confused because she hadn't checked out then and when they had left to go to war neither because there wasn't any time for that.
"Well, I didn't really have the time to check out. Can I go to the Hokage now?" She questioned right after.
"Hmm, yea sure." Kotetsu said as he gave her a confusing glance.
Sakura walked away towards the Hokage tower, as she was walking through the village she smiled again. People were walking through the streets, chattering or looking into stores.
A woman accidently bumped her and turned around. She had beautiful black hair and black eyes.
"I'm sorry, Sakura-San." She gave Sakura a small smile and Sakura looked up at her, surprised this woman knew her name.
"It's okay, uhm. How do you know my name?" Sakura questioned.
"You are on the same team as Sasuke, correct?" The woman questioned and Sakura nodded.
"That's how I know you, now I need to go, I hope to see you soon. Sakura-san." With that she turned around and walked away, leaving a confused Sakura.
Somehow those eyes looked familiar but she didn't dwell on it too long, she had to go to the Hokage. She needed to know what had happened.
As soon as she arrived at the Hokage tower she walked up the stairs towards the office. Shizune was standing in front of it, talking to someone. When she noticed her she smiled at her.
"Sakura, what brings you here?" She questioned
"I want to speak to Tsunade-Shishou." Sakura said with a serious tone.
Shizune nodded. "Uhm, Shisou?" Shizune questioned, confusion written in her eyes.
"Yes! Please hurry up." Sakura stated with impatient eyes.
"One sec, I'll see if she's not busy." Shizune said confusion still clear in her eyes, as turned around and entered the office.
Sakura looked at the boy Shizune had been talking to. She didn't recognize him although he had something familiar. She shrugged inside her mind, not knowing where she knew him from.
The door opened again and Shizune came back out. "She can see you." She said with a smile and Sakura nodded in response and entered the office.
"Sakura, what can be so important that you want to see me now?" Tsunade asked with a sigh.
Sakura gave her a confused glance, didn't she know she had been gone? How many days had been passed since the battle? Wasn't she worried?
All kind of questions shot through her mind and she didn't know the answers.
"Uhm, when is the last time we seen each other?" She asked a bit cautious.
"This morning, before your mission." Tsunade answered as she gave her an intense look.
"Right." Sakura answered with a frown.
She hadn't done any missions this morning, or at least not that she could remember. What was going on? Apparently Tsunade didn't know what was going on as she kept giving her worried glances.
"Is everything okay, Sakura?" She questioned after a few moments of silence.
"Well, I don't know. I remember waking up in the forest not too far away from here." She explained.
Tsunade frowned at this.
"Why would you go outside the village without authorization?" Tsunade said with narrowed eyes.
"Well, with the war and all..." She started but got cut off.
"What war?" Tsunade said with surprise on her face.
Realization struck her as fast as lighting, she didn't know about the war? What was going on?
"Answer me." Tsunade commanded and Sakura shook her head in confusion.
"I'm confused." Sakura stated.
"What is with you today?" Tsunade stated. "There hasn't been a war since the third shinobi war. Go home and take some rest!" Tsunade commanded, waving her hand at her to go and Sakura nodded, gave a small bow and left the room.
Quickly she left the Hokage tower and walked towards her home. She was confused and shocked at the same time. How could the third shinobi war be the last war? They were at war with Akatsuki, or weren't they? Had it all been a bad dream from which she woken up from? No! That was impossible. Maybe Naruto or kaka-Sensei had some answers, so instead of going home she walked back towards the busy market street.
She knew where to find Naruto, he would probably be at the famous ramen stand, as always. So she walked through the market street until she was at the corner in front of Ichiraku's Ramen, she opened the curtains and went inside. She smiled as she noticed the blonde sitting at the stand and sat down beside him.
Naruto turned his head and cheered her name when he saw her.
"Sakura-Chan!" Naruto cheered with his goofy grin on his face.
"Hey, Naruto." She greeted him with a nod.
"What you're doing here Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked with curiosity in his eyes.
"Well, I wanted to ask you what happened." Sakura questioned.
He gave her a confused look. "What happened with what?" He questioned.
"Well you know on the battlefield." She answered him.
"Uhm, Sakura-Chan. What battlefield?" He questioned as he looked at her with worried eyes. Sakura stared back into his eyes and shook her head. Did everyone here have memory loss or something?
"You know on the battlefield with Madara!" She pointed out to him.
He shot her an even more confusing look and frowned. "Who's Madara?" Naruto questioned thinking hard.
Sakura gaped at him, her mouth left open in surprise.
"Are you you're alright? Sakura-chan." He questioned her again. "You're doing a bit strange." He continued as he turned back to his ramen and took a bite.
Sakura, who still had her mouth open, closed it and shook her head. "Okay, the joke is over! Everyone can go back to normal now!" She stated.
"You're the one who isn't doing normal." Naruto said as soon as his mouth was empty.
Sakura shook her head again and annoyance took over. "I'm fine, Naruto." She answered as she stood up.
"Where are you going?" He questioned his grin on his face again.
"Home." She stated grumpy and waved him goodbye, as she left the ramen bar.
As she walked home she was lost in thought again. Somehow everything was just strange. First Tsunade didn't seem to know about any war and now Naruto doesn't know who Madara is? It was like the war had never happened but that was impossible, she had been in it, she had been there, fighting, healing.
She shook her head as she opened her front door and walked inside. She closed the door behind her and walked into the hall. Everything was exactly how she remembered and she walked up the stairs to her room. Maybe if she had a hot shower and a nice nap, everything would be okay.
So, she did exactly that. Standing under the hot shower she let her mind drift off again. She wondered if Itachi and Shisui were still in town, although they had said that they would leave as soon the war was over, but there had been no war here, or she assumed. Or did something happen to her and they were told to keep quiet about? She didn't know but she was sure to find out.
As she stepped out of the shower, she grabbed a towel and covered herself, making it like a dress around her body, before opening the door and walking towards her room. She entered and grabbed some night gear and under garment and quickly dressed herself. After dressing she lay down on her bed and sighted. There had been too much stress and finally she could rest a bit.
It didn't take long for her too fall asleep. The fight on the battlefield had worn her out.
When she woke up she noticed it was very early in the morning, too early for her taste so she turned around and tried to sleep again. After a few minutes she noticed she was too awake to sleep. She looked at her alarm and it noticed it was only 4 p.m in the morning. She gave a loud sigh as she got up while muttering something like 'Damn Uchiha.'
Quickly she dressed into a training outfit, one that was clean and washed and smelled nice. She had thrown the other outfit with the laundry, since it really needed to be washed. She grabbed her gloves and put them in her pouch and walked downstairs. She made a quick breakfast and sat down at the table.
While she was eating she was thinking about the day before. Things really had been strange, she just hoped that today everything would be normal, but she doubted it.
After breakfast she left towards the trainings field. She wanted to do some Stamina training before going to the hospital. Since she still hadn't seen a sign of Itachi nor Shisui she had to use Kagebunshin's, although it didn't really work since she knew exactly when they would throw some kunai's. After fifteen minutes she was done with it, accepting this wouldn't work.
She kept lying on the ground with her eyes closed, enjoying the soft breeze. There weren't any sounds and she welcomed the silence. She could almost fell asleep again, like this.
She heard something in the distance and it sounded like metal clinging. She frowned as she got up and looked at where the sound had come from. Again she heard the sound and she stood up and walked towards it.
It had come from the forest inside Konoha, although it was hardly a forest and more like a big park. She entered it and made sure to be silent as she crouched down and looked passed the trees.
Two people were sparring in a small clearing and she recognized one as Sasuke. She smiled for a second and shifted her gaze back to the other person, she couldn't see his face because he had his back towards her, but she knew it was Itachi. Her smile grew, so they hadn't left after all.
"Oi, Sakura?" Sasuke suddenly called out and she stiffened a bit. She walked out of the forest towards them.
"Hey." She said with a blush on her face for getting caught for snooping around.
"What are you doing here so early? I thought you usually wake up around 8?" He questioned her with a surprised look on his face.
"Uh, yea I usually did." She just gave as answer and shot Itachi a glare.
"Uhm, how are you feeling?" She questioned him.
He raised an eyebrow at her but answered nonetheless. "Fine." He just muttered.
Sakura nodded and smiled. "I see you all survived, I'm glad." She said with her smile still on her face.
"Uh what?" Sasuke questioned with confusion on his face.
Itachi gave her a weird glance before he shifted his eyes away from her again. Sakura stayed silent as she looked at Sasuke's face, she hadn't seen so many emotions on his face before. She could clearly see he was very confused, which confused her even more.
"Why wouldn't we survive?" Sasuke questioned still with confusion on his face.
"Uh, never mind." She said waving it off.
"Is there something wrong? Are you okay?" Sasuke asked.
This made her stiffen, had he just asked her if she was okay. Shock was written on her face as she stared at him.
"Sakura, you're acting strange. Maybe you need to go to bed again and sleep a few hours." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face.
A pang shot through Sakura as she noticed the smirk on face, it was the same smirk he had always made when they had been younger. She couldn't believe her eyes, she hadn't seen that smirk for so long and had thought she would never see it again, but here he was smirking at her as if nothing had happened. Maybe it was because everything turned out fine, Itachi was at his side and he knew the truth, but somehow she doubted it.
"Uh, Sakura. I thought you were over all that staring and stuff." Sasuke suddenly said.
Sakura now waking up from her thoughts noticed she was staring at him like a madman. A blush crept to her face.
"Sorry." She mumbled and glanced at Itachi, who was looking at her, as if she was crazy.
"Oh, yea. You remember my brother, right?" Sasuke suddenly said to her which made her look at him with surprise.
"Of course I know your brother. Baka." She said towards him as she shook her head. Memories of her and Itachi crept into her mind and made her blush, so she looked to the ground, hoping they wouldn't notice. Suddenly Sasuke groaned and Sakura looked at him again.
"Don't tell me it went from me to him?" He questioned.
Sakura was speechless, she couldn't believe he had just said that. She must've heard wrong.
"W…What?" She stuttered bewildered.
"Well you used to like me, but I already told you I didn't see you that way, so now you're going to chase my brother because you can't have me?" He questioned.
Anger shot through Sakura, what the hell was he talking about. We never talked about such things and she didn't like his brother!
"What makes you think that? Sasuke." She questioned with controlled anger.
"Because you were blushing." Sasuke said shrugging.
"Just because I blush doesn't mean I like him and another thing we never talked about such things! You arrogant prick!" She shot at him.
Itachi raised an eyebrow towards her and Sasuke did the same. Sasuke shrugged and ignored it as he averted his gaze towards his brother.
"Nii-San, let's continue training." Sasuke said and Itachi nodded.
"Where is Kaka-Sensei?" Sakura asked towards Sasuke and he shrugged again in answer.
"You know how he is, always showing up when he wants to show up. When you search for him you won't find him." Sasuke answered and Sakura nodded in response and wanted to turn around when she missed someone being here.
"Uhm, where is Shisui-San?" She questioned looking at Itachi.
Itachi and Sasuke shot her a surprised look, although it was barely noticeable at Itachi.
"Sakura? How do you know Shisui-San?" Sasuke asked and Itachi looked at her as he waited for her to answer.
Sakura blinked her eyes a couple of times, she couldn't believe they just asked her that, they were with her and Shisui had even protected her when she was healing Itachi. She was practically kidnapped by Shisui to heal Itachi, didn't they remember? She didn't understand what the hell was with them, what were they trying to do? Confusing her even more or make her crazy? Like hell she would let that happen. Grumpy she stared at them becoming more angered as the seconds ticked by.
"Are you both stupid?" She called out.
"You didn't answer the question." Itachi stated immediately.
Now she began to become really pissed, she didn't like this game they were playing and it would stop now, she wanted answers!
"Uchiha Itachi! If you don't give me some answers immediately, I'll punch a hole in you!" She growled in anger.
Sasuke stiffened and shot a glance at Itachi, wondering how he would react.
"What makes you think a punch would hurt me, especially from a woman." Itachi merely answered.
Sakura blinked her eyes again and frowned. He knew she could punch him all the way to suna and back, still he stated as if she would hit like a girl, that prick!
"Well, since you put it that way, why don't you let me punch you then?" She said with a sweet, fake, smile on her face.
"Nii-San. Don't mind her, she can't really fight, not really worth it. She's more a genjutsu type." Sasuke told Itachi and his brother nodded in response.
Sakura felt as if someone hit her face hard, shocked she stared at Sasuke until her anger boiled up again. What the hell was wrong with them, how dare they think she was weak. She had always been the weak link inside team 7, until Tsunade trained her, like hell she would let them call her weak!
Angry she rushed towards Sasuke as fast as she could, she gathered her chakra into her fist and aimed it at him but he simple side stepped, with a smirk on his face.
"Sakura, don't be so foolish. You know you're weaker..." He stopped mid sentence when he noticed the smirk on her face.
She slammed her fist into the ground and the ground crumbled beneath her fist, rocks flew up into the air, hitting anything or anyone standing too close. The ground shook and a small crater appeared beneath her.
One of the rocks hit Sasuke hard in the face, which sends him a little backwards, he easily regained his balance and landed on his feet, while holding his arms in front of him to protect himself. His nose hurt because of the impact from the rock, he hadn't expected.
Sasuke eyes were wide with shock as he looked at her. Sakura stood straight again and looked at him with an angry expression. Itachi also gave her a curious glance and remembered what she had said to him a few moments earlier. Now, he was glad she hadn't punched him, although he was curious what her limit would be and where she had learned it, only the current hokage was able to use that inhuman strength.
"Sakura. When did you learn that?" Sasuke asked his eyes wide.
"I learned it while you were away from the village, Sasuke. You're not the only one who became more powerful! You really thought that you would be the only one training?" She questioned, snarling.
Sasuke gave her a confusing look once more. "Uh Sakura. I haven't left the village, why would I do that?" Sasuke said with a frown.
Sakura stiffened and looked at him with confusing eyes. They had been searching for him for so long, trying to get him back for so long and only recently they were able to finally get him back to Konoha, thanks to Itachi. What did he mean he hadn't left?
"What do you mean, you didn't left?" She questioned, confused.
Sasuke shrugged. "Why would I want to leave?" He questioned, also confused.
Sakura blinked her eyes. "You left Konoha to join Orochimaru! Why am I telling you this you know it yourself!" She said while shaking her head.
This caused the both Uchiha's to stiffen. Itachi narrowed his eyes at Sakura.
"Why would I want to go to Orochimaru? He tried to steal Itachi's sharingan once." Sasuke said, with disbelief showing on his face.
Sakura had the same disbelieving look on her face. Did he act out of stupidity? Okay that was it, she didn't know what was going on but like hell she was going to stay any longer with those two. Grumpy, she turned around and stomped away into the park. She could hear Sasuke call out to her but she didn't respond.
When Sakura was gone, Sasuke gave a confusing look towards his brother, who just shrugged. "You have weird teammates." Itachi commented and Sasuke nodded.
"Anyway, she still hasn't given us an answer about how she knows Shisui." Itachi continued.
"Yea, let's go to Shisui and ask him. Is he working now?" Sasuke asked. Itachi shook his head and they both left quickly, towards Shisui.
Sakura walked out of the park towards the stone memorial, she remembered her first and second training here and smiled. The second time they had caught the bells thanks to Naruto's great thinking, although it hadn't been really fair but Kakashi seemed to have no weakness besides his Icha Icha Paradise. It had been the perfect weak point for Naruto since he had read the newest one, to his own disgust.
"Sakura?" She heard Kakashi suddenly next to her and she looked up at him in surprise.
"Kaka-Sensei." She said surprised, she hadn't noticed him since she had been lost in thought.
"What brings you out here Sakura?" Kakashi questioned, his one eye looking at her, searching for any answer.
"I was looking for you." Sakura answered with a smile.
"Is that so? Why is that?" Kakashi questioned as he averted his gaze to the stone. Sakura looked at the stone too, many names were written on them, probably some people Kakashi had known.
"I need some answers, I'm confused." She said, not looking at him.
"Hmm, I see." He said as he looked at her again, waiting for her to spill it.
"What happened?" She just questioned not knowing what to exactly ask.
Kakashi raised his eyebrow at her. "What happened where, Sakura?" he questioned with his usual aloof face.
Sakura gave a sigh. "What happened with the... war?" She tried carefully.
"Hmm, you mean the third shinobi war?" He questioned her a bit surprised she would ask about it.
Sakura shook her head and gave a sigh.
"Kaka-Sensei! I mean the war against Akatsuki." She said with narrowed eyes.
"Hmm, Akatsuki huh." He answered aloof and looked up at the sky as if he was in deep thought.
"I surely do not know where you talking about. However I do know who Akatsuki are and also know you aren't supposed to know about them." He answered as he gave her an intense look, with his one eye.
"What do you mean I'm not supposed to know about them? They have been after Naruto for so long! Of course I know about the Akatsuki! And Madara, who was the one who declared the war against all the shinobi villages! We fought against them, I even beaten one myself!" She spilled everything out.
"Sakura? What are you talking about?" Kakashi said with narrowed eyes, although only one was shown. Sakura gaped at him, her mouth open in shock.
"None of that happened. Did you make this all up so Naruto and Sasuke would respect you a bit more? I'm sorry that I haven't trained you as much as you would like, Sakura, but that isn't a reason to make things up. Now tell me how do you know about the Akatsuki and that they are after Naruto?" He questioned her.
Sakura shook her head, she couldn't believe this. Why would she make that up, why would she lie about this, she was strong enough. She suddenly felt small and hopeless, not knowing what was going on, nobody who could answer her anything, it was as if she was all alone.
"Only Jiraija, the hokage and I are supposed to know about Akatsuki, Sakura." He stated. "And what you said about Madara? He is long dead, Sakura." Kakashi said shaking his head. "Didn't you learn that in the academy? You must've hit your head, why don't you go to the hospital." Kakashi continued, now with a worried eye.
"I'm fine, Kaka-sensei." Sakura said as she hangs her head while turning around and started to walk away.
"Oh and Sakura?" Kakashi questioned while he turned to her.
"Hm?" She turned around half towards him and looked at him.
"Don't tell anyone about Akatsuki. I don't know how you know but keep it secret for now." Kakashi said and she nodded and walked away from him.
Kakashi stared at her back until she disappeared out of sight then he quickly went through some hand seals and disappeared with a poof of smoke. He arrived at the Hokage tower and knocked on the window. He could hear Tsunade mumbling grumpy and the next second the window shoved open.
"Kakashi, next time, you will use the door." She grunted as she walked back towards her chair and sat down again, grabbing some papers on her desk with a disgruntled look on her face. She hated paper work.
"Now what is it?" She questioned. "I need to do a lot of paper work." She said dissatisfied. "So hurry up."
"Sakura, she's acting weird." Kakashi said and Tsunade looked up from the paper work.
"So you also noticed." She said as she leaned on her elbows, folding her hands.
Kakashi nodded. "She also has knowledge about the Akatsuki and that they are after Naruto, which surprised me, I wondered maybe you told her." He continued.
Tsunade frowned and shook her head. "I did not, I wonder who would've told her though." She spoke and Kakashi nodded.
"She also said something about war and Madara being involved with it and about her killing an Akatsuki." He continued and Tsunade blinked a couple of times.
"Madara? Isn't he long dead?" She questioned and Kakashi nodded. "And she also came to me saying something about war." Tsunade said frowning.
"Kakashi, will you keep an eye on her? I got a feeling something strange is going on with her." Tsunade said, still in thought.
Kakashi nodded. "As you wish." He said and gave a small bow and poofed away.
Tsunade bit her under lip. "What the hell is wrong with her?" She mumbled and let out a sigh.
Itachi and Sasuke arrived and their cousins home and knocked on the door. Shisui's mother, their aunt, opened the door and raised her eyebrow in surprise.
"Well, look who we have here." She said as she let them in.
"You two should visit more often, you two are always training and training, or doing missions." Their aunt spoke as she let them in the living room.
"Were here to see Shisui." Itachi said, as they sat down.
"I'll call him, he's probably in his room." Their aunt said and walked out of the living room.
A Minute later, their aunt walked back into the room, followed by Shisui. Their aunt, named Mitsuki, walked into the kitchen, leaving them alone.
"Wow, Is it my birthday?" Shisui asked.
"Very funny, Shisui-San." Sasuke grunted and shook his head.
Shisui gave a smirk in response and also sat down.
"So what brings my two favorite cousins here?" He questioned them.
"How do you know Sakura?" Sasuke questioned immediately.
"Uuhh, who?" Shisui said with a frown.
"Sakura, my teammate." Sasuke explained.
"I... Don't." Shisui said with a shrug.
Sasuke frowned at this and Itachi looked a bit confused, although it was barely noticeable.
"She asked about you." Itachi said, as he scanned Shisui's face for any hint.
"Well, maybe she knows me because I'm such a great and handsome ninja." Shisui said with a grin.
Sasuke rolled his eyes at his cousin and Itachi shook his head.
"You aren't secretly dating her... Right?" Sasuke asked in suspicion.
"What!" Shisui questioned, clearly confused. "I'm not dating anyone, Sasuke."
"I really don't know her." Shisui said, now getting annoyed.
"Then how does she know you?" Itachi questioned.
"You should ask her, not me." Shisui said with a simple shrug.
"We did, she asked if we were both stupid." Sasuke said with a frown.
Shisui raised his eyebrow. "She asked if you both were stupid? Wow, she got guts to call both of the Uchiha geniuses stupid."
They didn't respond to that and they remained silent for a while, wondering how Sakura knew Shisui.
"She also acted different, she wasn't her usual self. Normally she wouldn't dare call me stupid and she even attacked me." Sasuke mumbled.
"Then how is she normally?" Shisui questioned.
"Normally, she gets angry at Naruto a lot, not me. She is usually silent and doesn't talk much. She is smart but doesn't have a lot of fighting skills, she knows a bit of genjutsu which Kakashi-Sensei taught her." Sasuke explained to them.
"I always told her she was too innocent and weak to be a ninja." Sasuke continued and he frowned again.
"But today she was totally different, she attacked me and if she had hit me, I would probably be in the hospital right now. I managed to side step it but she hit the ground, shattering it like it was nothing. She couldn't do that before." Sasuke said.
"That strength rivals that of the hokage, maybe she taught her." Itachi stated.
Sasuke shook his head. "No, a few days ago with training, she wasn't able to do it."
"Well, then it's settled." Shisui said as he stood up. The two Uchiha's looked up at him.
"Let's ask the hokage herself." Shisui said with a shrug, as he started to walk out of the living room. The two brothers quickly stood up and followed him out of the house.
Sakura decided to check the hospital, since Tsunade hadn't really given her a mission to do, she didn't know where else to go. She walked inside the hospital and noticed Miyu sitting at the counter. She didn't say anything and was about to enter, when Miyu called out to her.
"Where you think you're going, visit hours are over." Miyu yelled at her.
Sakura looked up at her and blinked her eyes. She could enter whenever she wanted.
"I'm just visiting to see if there were any patients, who could need my help." Sakura explained.
Miyu gave her a confused look. "We have enough medics and you aren't qualified to help any patients." She answered.
"What." Sakura answered, utterly confused.
"You heard me, now out." Miyu answered as she pointed to the exit.
"Now, you listen to me! I can come in here whenever I want to come in here." Sakura grunted, getting annoyed with the nurse.
Before the nurse could reply two people entered with a heavily wounded person. Sakura immediately went towards them and noticed immediately this person was poisoned. The Miyu pushed a button at the counter and immediately some medics rushed towards them. They pushed Sakura aside as they lay him down on a stretcher.
"Leave, we have things to do." Miyu said as she followed the medics inside.
Sakura ignored her and just followed. Like hell, she would listen now, that they just brought a wounded person inside.
Miyu turned around and noticed Sakura following. "Okay, that's it. If you don't leave immediately I will call security." She hissed at Sakura.
"That man is poisoned, do you know how to extract poison?" Sakura shot back as she narrowed her eyes.
She didn't know what was going on but she would ask Tsunade-Shisou as soon as she was done here, why wouldn't they allow her in the hospital anymore.
Miyu gave her a confused glance. "What are you talking about?" She questioned with narrowed eyes.
"That man is poisoned, you haven't noticed?" Sakura asked calmly, although underneath she was boiling, she wanted to get to that patient as soon as possible, who knows how long he had been poisoned. When someone was poisoned, you needed to extract it as soon as possible.
Miyu didn't answer and still looked at her with narrowed eyes. "Fine, follow me." She finally grunted, obviously not happy about it.
Sakura followed her and Miyu let her into the surgery room, the medics who were working on the patient looked up.
"Miyu, what is she doing here?" One of them asked.
"She said this man was poisoned." Miyu answered him.
Sakura walked forward to the patient and looked at his state. He had several deep cuts, which were bleeding heavily.
"Please, leave the room immediately. We can handle this." One of the medics said as she started to heal the wounds.
Sakura narrowed her eyes at her and watched her work for a second but didn't leave. After a few seconds she became very annoyed by their stupidity.
"Enough. This way the patient won't heal!" Sakura said, as she noticed the wound didn't close.
"We told you to leave, you are not allowed in here." One of the medics said in controlled anger.
"I need two bowls of water... Immediately!" Sakura just responded, getting annoyed.
"What are you planning?" The medic questioned.
"I need to extract the poison before healing his wounds, also I need to know with what kind of poison were dealing with." Sakura said.
"You don't know what your doing, leave!" The head medic said as he grabbed her arm, so he could send her out.
Sakura who was losing control of her temper pulled her arm away from his grip.
"If you don't listen to me right now! This man will die!" She shouted in anger.
Everyone stared at her and she became even angrier.
"Now give me those bowls I asked for, or there will be hell to pay!" She shouted in anger.
One of the medics started to move and grabbed two bowls out of a small cabin. He wanted to give them to Sakura but she only grabbed one.
"Fill the other one with water." She stated as she grabbed into her pouch.
Luckily she still had some of the medicine where she healed Itachi with. As soon as he had given her the bowl with water she poured some of the medicine in it and started to work.
"Don't throw the bowl away, as soon as I filled it again. I need to get the poison to know what it is and make an antidote. Make sure there is an empty bowl throughout the process." She explained and the medics nodded.
The head medic looked at her while she worked on the patient and was shocked to see that she pushed the water through him.
"What are you doing?" The head medic questioned, utterly confused.
"I'm extracting the poison with the use of my chakra and the water." She explained as she concentrated on her chakra.
"No one is capable of doing that." The head medic said.
She didn't answer as she needed to concentrate, if she lost focus and her chakra would linger, she could cause further internal injuries, which could be fatal to him.
She didn't know for how long she had worked on the patient but when she was done, the sweat was standing on her forehead. She gave a small sigh and gave a soft smile.
"All done, did you keep the poison?" She questioned and the medic who changed the bowls nodded.
"Good, the poison is out of his system now, try to heal him again. I need to look at the poison." She stated as she grabbed a large bowl, which held the poison.
She walked out of the surgery room followed by Miyu, who hadn't spoken a word, while she was busy.
"Where did you learn that?" She questioned as they walked towards the lab.
"From Tsunade-Shisou." Sakura just answered as they entered the lab.
Miyu gave Sakura a confusing glance but before she could say anything Sakura told her to leave that she needed her space for this.
"You'll see me when I'm done." Sakura answered and closed the door in front of Miyu.
Once alone she put the bowl on a large table and she grabbed the stuff she needed. Once everything was in place she started to separate the poison from the water, throwing the poison in a small bowl. It didn't take long or she was done with that. She used a syringe to get some poison on the microscope slide and put it under the microscope.
She examined it for a while and after some time she added some of her own blood to see what it did. Too her surprise the white cells in her blood started evaporate.
This would explain why his wounds didn't heal when the medic tried to heal him. Frowning she bit her under lip. She knew some plants that held this kind of poison and gave a small smile. She looked around the lab and found what she was looking for, a big book which held all kind of poisonous flowers and plants. She grabbed it and quickly looked through it until she found what she was looking for.
After quickly looking at what she needed to make an antidote she made a small note and left the lab to go to the storage room. She hoped they had everything she needed in stock.
Once arrived she noticed it was stuffed and smiled again, everything went great and this patient will be up and running in no time.
She grabbed the ingredients she needed and returned to the lab to make the antidote.
Shisui, Itachi and Sasuke arrived at the hokage tower and walked inside and went up the stairs towards the hokage's office. Once arrived Shisui knocked and they heard a muffled 'come in' and entered.
Tsunade raised her eyebrows as she noticed the three Uchiha's walking in. She stayed silent and waited till they explained why they were here.
"Hokage-Sama." Itachi started as he gave a small bow.
"What brings you three to my office?" Tsunade asked, getting impatient.
"We want to ask about Sakura." Sasuke said.
Tsunade frowned at this. "So you've noticed too?"
"That's she's acting different than usual? Yes." Sasuke stated.
"We have a question about her." Shisui said.
"Shoot." Tsunade replied.
"Did you teach her your strength technique?" Itachi questioned.
Tsunade gave a confusing look. "No, why would I want to teach her that?" She asked a bit bewildered.
"Because she used it on me." Sasuke stated, looking confused.
"She did what?" Tsunade questioned with her eyes wide in shock.
"She used the same technique you are known for on Sasuke." Itachi explained.
Tsunade looked from Itachi to Sasuke and back. "That's impossible." Tsunade exclaimed.
Tsunade narrowed her eyes and seemed to be lost in thought. A silence stretched through the office as they all were lost in their own thoughts. Tsunade was about to speak when a knock on the door made her change her mind.
"Now what?" She shouted, getting frustrated.
The door opened and Shizune walked in. "Tsunade-Sama. The head medic is here, he says he has important news."
"Let him in!" Tsunade shouted.
The head medic entered and looked at the Uchiha's but decided to ignore them.
"Hokage-sama, a new patient has been brought in, he was badly injured and poisoned. However, we managed to heal him thanks to a pinked haired ninja." He told Tsunade.
Tsunade's eyes widened. "You got the name?" She questioned him, although she already had a feeling who this person would be. There was only one pink haired girl in town and her name was Sakura.
"Hai, Miyu told me her name was Sakura." He continued.
"Thank you for letting me now, you're dismissed." Tsunade grunted.
"I'm confused hokage-sama. She was using a very difficult technique which I didn't know about, to extract the poison, only those with precise chakra control could do such a thing, she told me she learned it from you, hokage-sama. Is she you're pupil?" He questioned the hokage.
Tsunade eyes widened again, she had no idea what this man was talking about, she never taught Sakura anything. She wondered where the hell she learned all of this.
"Tell Sakura to get here immediately!" Tsunade said towards the head medic.
"She's working to make an antidote for the poison at the moment." The head medic answered.
Tsunade raised her eyebrows, surprised. There were too many surprised from the pink haired girl and she gave a sigh.
"Fine, then we will go to her." Tsunade stated as she stood up. "You three are coming with me." She ordered to the three Uchiha's and they gave a nod.
Sakura just finished the antidote and stretched herself. She cleaned the lab, putting everything back in its usual spot and was about to open the door when the door already opened.
Tsunade walked in, followed by Itachi, Shisui and Sasuke. Sakura raised her eyebrow in question, wondering if something was wrong.
"Haruno Sakura, you are going to explain exactly to me why you are in here!" Tsunade grunted.
Sakura blinked her eyes and looked towards the three Uchiha's and then back to Tsunade.
"I was making an antidote for a newly arrived patient." She just answered.
"Now explain to me how you are capable to make that antidote!" Tsunade questioned while narrowing her eyes.
Sakura frowned at this. "What do you mean Tsunade-Shisou?" She questioned bewildered.
At this Tsunade stiffened. "How did you just call me?" She questioned surprised.
"Uuh." Sakura was utterly confused, she didn't have clue to what was going on and she looked at the three Uchiha's again.
Tsunade, still waiting for an answer, started to tap her feet, getting impatient.
"You better start explaining." Tsunade said.
Sakura looked back at Tsunade, confusion was written on her face and shown in her eyes. She was utterly speechless and didn't know what to say.
"I..." Was all she could manage to answer.
"How do you know me?" Shisui suddenly asked and Sakura looked at him.
Sakura gave a frown. "Don't act so dumb, Shisui." She answered confused.
"Huh? That was a serious question." He stated as he crossed his arms.
Sakura gave a sigh and she could feel a headache coming up. She laid her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes. She couldn't take it anymore, she felt as if she was going nuts.
"Shisui, you kidnapped me to heal Itachi." She said as she shook her head a bit.
"Uuh... What?" He questioned.
Tsunade also gave her a confused look.
"Why would I kidnap you to heal my cousin? I know he doesn't want to go to the hospital but I wouldn't kidnap someone to do it. Besides, if I would kidnap someone it would be a medic." Shisui said towards her, confusion in his voice.
"I 'am a medic, you fool." Sakura grunted, getting annoyed.
"And where exactly did you learn to be one?" Tsunade questioned again.
"You learned me!" Sakura clenched her fists, this was ridiculous.
"I did not learn anything to you!" Tsunade stated. "Who are you?"
At this Sakura stiffened. "What do you mean? You didn't learn me anything." Sakura stated with her eyes wide. "I trained under you for more than three years!" Sakura whispered as she stared at the floor.
Had it all been a nightmare, was everything she'd been through a lie? Did she fell asleep in the forest and had everything had just been a bad dream? She shook her head … No, that was impossible.
At this Tsunade frowned again. "No you didn't. Why would I want to teach you?" She questioned Sakura.
"Because Sasuke, he ran away from the village to seek revenge on Itachi." Sakura just answered utterly confused.
"What do you mean?" Itachi finally spoke.
Sakura shifted her eyes to Itachi and then shook her head. She wanted to run, run far away from everyone, she felt stressed and stupid. It had been a nightmare and now she thought it was real but it had looked so real. No, it had been real. She had cried for him, she and Naruto had been through so much, too much to get Sasuke back. Then why...?
Sakura could feel the room spinning and grabbed hold on the table. No, there was nothing to worry about, this must be some kind of sick joke. They will laugh about it later and would say she fell for it. Sasuke... Didn't he remember? Why didn't anyone remember? Kaka-Sensei... Naruto, Tsunade-Shisou, Shisui, Itachi... Anyone.
"Sakura?" Sasuke walked towards her and supported her. "Hey, you okay?" He questioned.
Sakura didn't answer and she took a deep breath. Her heart was pounding madly as she took another deep breath. She needed to calm down, just calm down she thought to herself.
"She's hyperventilating." Tsunade stated as she walked to Sakura.
She grabbed Sakura by her arms and sat her down on the stool.
"Everyone leave the room, she needs to calm down before she faints." Tsunade ordered and everyone did as they were told.
"Sakura, take a deep breath, count till three and then slowly release it." Tsunade said towards her.
Sakura did as she was told and after a couple of times of doing this, she started to calm down.
"Sakura, what is going on?" Tsunade asked, now worried.
"I... I don't know." Sakura said and suddenly she was in tears.
She didn't know what was real anymore and it was like everyone just didn't care.
"Why don't you tell me everything you know?" Tsunade questioned. "I won't interfere, just begin at the beginning."
Sakura nodded and started telling everything, she been through. About team 7, Sasuke and his revenge, as he left. The massacre, how she was kidnapped by Shisui to heal Itachi. The war and Madara. She told Tsunade everything she knew.
After she was done Tsunade just stared at her, confused and shocked at the same time.
"Sakura..." Tsunade started.
Sakura looked up at her Shisou with pleading eyes.
Tsunade shook her head. "Sakura, none of that happened." Tsunade said worried.
Sakura's eyes widened. "But... How? I was there! Are you saying I'm crazy?" Sakura shouted.
"I don't know, Sakura. The fact that you are capable of healing says that somehow it's all true but it never happened." Tsunade messaged her forehead in thought.
"Go home and sleep. I will take you off the duty list for now." Tsunade stated as she gave a sigh. "I want to know what is going on first." Tsunade said and Sakura gave a sad nod.
She stood up and walked out of the lab and was met by three Uchiha's, Sasuke gave her a curious glance but she ignored them as she continued to walk past them.
"Sakura?" Sasuke called out.
"Not now, Sasuke." She said as she continued walking.
As soon as she came home she walked towards her bedroom and let herself fall on her bed. She felt alone and it was like the world she knew had crashed. Everything she knew, the world she had lived in wasn't really here. Everything she knew about her team was gone. There was... Nothing left. It was like she had never lived her life.
On the other hand, if nothing she had told Tsunade had ever happened, it also meant the Uchiha massacre didn't happen. Meaning Sasuke had a normal childhood and didn't run away to Orochimaru, it meant things were normal. Then why was she so sad that none of the things ever happened, she didn't understand.
Her mind lingered on Itachi and how he had acted towards her, he had barely spoken to her. Of course, if everything that happened wasn't true then Itachi didn't know her. In fact, she probably didn't even kiss him. Maybe it had all been a stupid nightmare or dream... Maybe even a hallucination.
Exhausted by the stress and emotions she fell asleep, still wearing her clothes.
So the first chapter done. This chapter was kinda fun to write and at the same time, it was... Kinda hard. Anyway hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
I know this was a fast update... But like I said I was already working on this. I already had in mind how The untold truth would end, so it was easier to start the first chapter.
Anyway, let me know what you think and please review. Critics are welcome.
(with The untold told I had so many hits but not many reviewed. So I hope that will change because they make me happy :D)
Sincerly,
Uchiha-Lady
