Hey guys! I hope you will like my new story. I got this idea and just had to write it out. I was not intending to start another story until my first one the day the world stood still was done. I just couldn't get it out of my head. For those who are new to my writing. Check out my other story. It doesn't disappoint though its dose has a slow burn to start. I am open to figuring out how I can better capture readers so if you have any ideas feel free to lay em on me. Thanks, and enjoy the next chapter in Konoha a battle covered in blood. Also, I don't own Naruto. Wish I did.

Darkness. That was what greeted Sakura as she woke. Darkness as well as a very massive headache. One of the ones that just make you wish you were dead. Sakura went to reach her hand up to her head only to find that she was unable to do so. Her arms were bound to whatever apparatus it was that she was laying on. It was hard and cold and she could hear the chains attached to her hands clink with every move that she made. Also knowing that she had now lost any element of surprise that she'd had. Her clinking would have alerted any guard that was near to the fact that she was awake. She was completely unable to access any of her chakra. So, with that knowledge, she would wait. Head pounding until they came for her.

It would seem like days before she heard anything else other than her own clinking. The sound of footsteps was heard lightly at first. Almost as though she was imagining them. She knew they were real when they stopped being so soft and were getting steadily louder, as well as closer to her. She prepared her self for everything she could think of to come next. Hearing a rusty door screech open with an ear-piercing scream, her heart began to race.

"Sakura. I know you're awake. Do not fight us. I don't wish to harm you any more than you already are. Come quietly. Nod if you understand." A voice cut through the silence of her life.

It was then that she realized that she was also unable to talk as well as use her chakra. She nodded her head to say that she did understand and felt hands remove her cuffs and helped her up to her feet. She felt the tie around her eyes being unknotted and the fabric fell away from her eyes. Light assaulted her vison as the fabric fell from her sight. She was in the holding cells that sat below the kage tower. It was reserved for war criminals and traitors alike. That would be why she had no control of chakra. These cells were designed to hold anyone. Even the ninja populous could be held in these cells. There was something built into the cells that disallowed the use of chakra.

"Walk." Was all the man behind her said before he shoved her forward.

After the push, she noticed that there were three others of them to escort her. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she felt her chakra return to her. She looked around herself and realized that even though she had her chakra she would never win the battle. There were four of them against her one. She could take on one maybe if she was feeling lucky. There was no way for her to take out four. So, she instead walked. There was no sense in putting up any kind of a fight at the moment when being docile would get her far further. She needed to know what was going on. Being docile would get her more information, or at least not killed. They weren't going to kill her unless they had to. The fact that they had captured her instead of slitting her neck immediately as they had done to many other ninjas.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and understood it would help lead her where it was that she needed to go. She followed the silent orders given by the hand. Following the tunnels up into the open air of the village. She could smell the metallic tinge of death on the air as she breathed. It was dark out, but she could see all of the bodies lying across the ground. She then felt the hand stop her. Standing in the middle of the square was Tsunade, her teacher, and Hokage. She wanted to run to her and make sure she was okay. Near her was a passed-out Naruto being held by a very battered Kakashi. She looked further down the line and saw many familiar faces. Ino, choji, and so many others. Hinata was near to Naruto covering his burns with creams. Everyone was in a varied state of battle-worn. Covered in bruises and blood.

"Sakura. Good of you to join us. Place her there with the others." A shadowed figure pointed.

She was then pushed forward and sat with Naruto and Kakashi.

"Sensei. What's going on?" She asked before she felt the shackles on her wrists.

"There's been a takeover. The Akatsuki have taken over Konoha. What we are all doing here I have no idea." Kakashi said as he pulled Naruto closer. "He fought as hard as he could, but in the end, it was him against them all. It wasn't long until he was done. They kept him alive though."

"I see. They got me easy. Freaking cloth covered with chloroform. I had just gotten out of over 45 hours of work with no break. I couldn't hold myself up much less fight." Sakura said as she looked at her hands.

"It's not your fault. I saw you walking out of the hospital last night. You were like the walking dead. I followed you home just to make sure you got there. Looks like whatever this is starting." Kakashi motioned with his head.

Indeed, it was. The shadowed figure had just stepped out of the shadows and was visible to all. Standing there was none other than Itachi Uchiha. Several other members seemed to be reporting to him. One with blonde hair in a high ponytail much like Ino's, one with blue skin, another had black hair and seemed to sit a little lower to the ground than he should have based on his build. They all faced forward and grabbed hold of Tsunade.

"You have a choice. Name Itachi the next Hokage or we will start slaughtering your ninja one by one. We will start with your pupils first. That pink-haired one looks delicious." The blue-skinned one said as he grabbed Sakura up to her feet.

"Stop. You don't have to do this." Was all Tsunade said as she looked at Sakura.

"Do what you need to, to make it stop then." Was the verbal response she gained. "Kisame."

The one now known as Kisame pulled Sakura to him. Holding her to his body with his left arm with a kunai placed right at her jugular. If severed, she would bleed out in seconds. It was the one thing that not even Tsunade herself would be able to stop. The cold steel held her in place against the man.

"FINE! I'll do it. Just don't hurt anyone else." Tsunade shouted at them.

The smirk that graced the faces of the criminals was worth its own set of villainy rules. They gave her a sheet of paper that would make the declaration legally binding and she signed it in her blood. Itachi Followed suet and Sakura watched as the sun rose in the village as Itachi place the Hokage hat on his head. The light illuminating the changes. The village would never be the same.

The blade lowered from her neck and she could see the sliver was cut with a line of blood. The red a stark contrast to the silver. She was pushed forward into the crowd of members who then held on to her arms. They held her in place as Itachi walked closer to her.

"I'll keep you as collateral to make sure that everyone here behaves. You are the commonality between everyone here. They all love and look to you for leadership. You will stay by my side for now. Take her back to the cell while everything is set." Itachi said as he stepped out. "As for the rest of you, you now work for me. Go home and report first thing in the morning to receive your orders."

After everyone had filed out from the courtyard, Sakura fell to her knees Infront of the men that surrounded her. "What do you want from me?" She panted.

"You will serve me and the others. For now, you will return to the cell that you were brought from. I will come for you when its time. Enjoy your time while you have it." Itachi said darkly.
