third person's POV
"Tsudande sama?" Sakura asked as she walked into Hokage's room.
Tsudande was fiercely trying to stamp papers, organizeing jutsu, sue Jiraya(sp) for writing "Icha Icha Paradise...
"Yeah?" She asked with her voice frustarted.
Saukra gulped and handed her the signed flyers. Hands trembling. Tsudande looked up from her "busy" work and took the paper.
"You really want to do this task Sakura?"
"Of course! I'm tired of everyone having to protect me!" Sakura yelled.
Tsudande smirked.'So finally, she sees the light. Us women, or girls, need to learn to fight for ourselves' Tsudande then said, "Very well Sakura. I want to give you this before you leave though."
"Eh?" Sakura asked.
Tsudande got up from her desk and went to a big bookcase. Leaning on a ladder, she climbed up and reached a small scroll. Then she threw it over to Sakura. Who snezzed when she caught it because of the dust on it. Tsudande smirked and she leaned against the ladder.
Sakura whiped the dust off the scroll then asked Tsudande, "Is..is this?"
"Yup, it's a forbidden jutsu, don't open yet though."
"When do I..?"
Tsudande then smiled, "I want you to open it and learn it when your in deep trouble and I mean deep trouble. This is a hard and terrible jutsu Sakura. So only for emergency okay?" Tsudande put her index finger in front of her mnouth and winked.
"..but..me?!" Sakura asked dibelieveing.
"Heh, your a smart girl I can trust you. Besides, reports from Kakashi says you can control your Chakura well. So, no troubles. Now for the thing you'll deliever..." Tsudande slid the ladder and reached up higher to something in a small pouch, again throwing it to Sakura.
"Don't tell me, this is Forgotten Metal right?" Sakura asked swinging the pouch playfully.
Tsudande did a heartly laugh then said, "My, someone did their homework. Anyways, your guess was right. It is forgotten metal. It's extremely light and strong. Really dangerous if used for battle. What the person we're delievering it needs it for is.."
"Is.." Sakura motioned Tsudande to go on.
"Well, in truth, the Forgotten metal is pretty useless, although being extremely great in battle..."
"It has a side effect."
"Yup, it can take a lot of your energy."
"Without feeling pain from how light the metal is.."
"They fight for an extremely long time."
"..meaning using most of their strength without knowing it."
"Until it's too late." Tsudande finished.
"So what?" Asked Sakura.
"Simple, although having seriuos side effects, they can melt it to becaome medicene."
"I never knew it was that "convienent"." Sakura said while looking over in the bag.
"Yes well, pack up all your things and then fill this form, then just when your about to leave, put this in your mail slot. I'll pick it up later." Tsudande said handing Sakura the slip.
Sakura took the slip and smiled.'Just you all watch, i'm going to show you all.'
--at the gate---
Sasuke stood there with Naruto. They were both waiting for Sakura. Both felt extremely guilty, only Naruto showed that though...
"WAAHH!!! SAKURA CHAN!!!" Naruto cried.
"She's not here yet you dope." Sasuke said over to Naruto.
"Ne, Sasuke. Don't you think she's changed a little over this one year?" Naruto asked.
"Why ask this all of the sudden?" Sasuke asked his companion. Not that he really cared.
"I mean, do you think she still loves team seven? This may sound stupid, but when I look over to her nowaday, her eyes seem so sad.."
Sasuke looked over at Naruto.'Since when did he become serious?'
"..and then when we're on missions, I realize Sakura's getting hurt more and more." Naruto said.
"That just means that she needs to train more." Sasuke said dryly.
"No! That's not it, Sakura just trying to be strong.." Naruto said.
Sasuke fell silent. Sakura? Strong? Those two did not fit.
"What are you guys doing here?" Came a voice.
"SAKURA CHAN!!! DON'T GOOOOOOOO!!!" Naruto yelled as he hugged the surprised Sakura.
"..." Sakura didn't answer but gave him a pat on the head....then she pushed him. "I'm going Naruto, wether you like it or not."
"Sakura chan.."
Sakura ex haled deeply then said, "I want to do this alone Naruto, I want to acomplish this alone."
"Don't be stupid." Sasuke said, making Sakura look over to him.
"..." Sakura was speechless.
"Your too weak for this." Sasuke replied dryly.
"...no i'm not.." Sakura said.
"Yes you are and you know it." Sasuke countered.
"Just you wait, you always tell me to go train. Well, guess what i'm doing? So please, just move so I can go..." Sakura mumbled.
Sasuke was silent again after that. "Fine, go, you won't survive three days in there."
"Sasuke, stop it!" Naruto yelled.
"...yes I will.." Sakura said.
"Che," Sasuke leaned against the wall. "What ever you say."
Sakura eyes shot opened and her hand made contact with Sasuke's cheek. Everyone was pretty speechless after that.
"Baka! I expect at least some respect form you! Why can't you ever understand?!" Sakura took her bag and ran.
"..Sasuke you idiot." Naruto said as he watched Sasuke stand there and stare at the gates.
Sasuke looked over to Naruto and glared at him, then left.'She really hit me, maybe she really can. No, fine Sakura play it your way. I'll just be there and when you finally realize your mistake. I'll be there.' Sasuke smirked, he was going to make Sakura pay dearly for giveing him that slap(A/N: no worries, he's a litto[a lot] ooc but have no fear, there will be some SasuXsaku moments).
--Sakura---
Sakura was extremely angry with Sasuke, she didn't think he could stoop so low.
"Fine Sasuke kun, from this day foreword...i'll forget I ever loved you." Sakura vowed, now she said her word and wasn't going back.
Kakashi hid from the trees and watched his student, he took a deep sigh and whispered to himslef, "But Sakura, you should know, you can't stop loving someone just like that.."
Meanwhile, a shadow lurked about watching the pink haired girl. Smirking as he saw her slap Sasuke, smiling when he saw the pouch she was carrying. Now all he had to do is kill her, and all will be fine.
