Chapter 8

Back

After the fight, Naruto has been wandering all round the forest. He noticed the weak sound of rustling of water and rushed to its place. Yelling...

"Sakura-chan! Sasuke bastard! Kakashi sensei! Come out! Come out! Wherever you are!" But then no one came, by then that he reached this river, he was starving... So he just decided to drink there to quench his thirst...

All the way around, he was day dreaming about ramen... 'a ramen like this would be great... no its chicken ramen... beef and eggs... er... all of them should be good... no care less... ramen' and he drooled as he looked at the piece of rock that was located in front of him 'imagining' that it was a cup of ramen.

"I need to eat something... Sakura-chan! Sasuke bastard! Kakashi-sensei! Where are you guys!"

Well after a few more minutes, he could not take it so he decided to catch some fish, for his hunger...

Back to Kakashi

He was still there reading his perverted book, giggling sheepishly while he turned some of the pages... Kakashi was having no time on finding his students because he knew that they were all fine...

He was meanwhile observing his surroundings and made it familiar to put his senses active while reading the book.

Back to Sakura

She smelled the essence if blood on her way. She headed towards the clearing and she felt relieved at what she saw...

She hurried her way towards her limping teammate and assisted some of his injuries... "So tell me, what happened?" Sasuke sat down at the grassy lands along with Sakura and began to recall everything...

Flashback

"During the fight, I had performed a sustainable kawarimi that I've copied before at the chuunin exam. When Shizuka attacked me, I let her think that it was me she was attacking. I made her angry"

Sasuke sighed...

"Well, that was bad... and then, go on..."

Sakura brought herself closer to Sasuke, Sasuke didn't move an inch, well he hasn't noticed it...

-

"Now die!"

It hit, and it turned to mud...

"Shoot... Where are you kid? answer me!"

She looked around and noticed a figure approaching her, she prepared for another stance as the figure came to her face to face. She punched him in the face, and then it turned back to mud. "Another kawarimi..."

Blood flew freely at her back and she turned to look around. Sasuke hit her in a fatal spot. "So are you going to kill me?" Sasuke embedded the kunai deeper and deeper. Shizuka managed to somersault back... Getting a little dizzy, her speed has decreased dramatically. And it was already easy for Sasuke to read her moves.

"You must never let your opponent get the better of you and read what is in your mind, I can read it perfectly, now I can see your doom" Shizuka looked down and attacked, only to be blocked by Sasuke's hands. He enjoyed beating her up, without the use of ninjutsus...

"A ninja must never let his or her guard down" Shizuka said and managed to throw some kunais that attached themselves to his right leg and near his neck... It was good that she was weak so it would not be fatal. "A ninja must not fight in certain circumstances, and that is when he or she knows that they are or is going to lose" Sasuke said as he removed the kunais at his body...

Shizuka collapsed, finally losing most of her blood.

End of Flashback

"So you mean to say that she's dead?" Sakura asked plainly... Sasuke meanwhile was surprised at her reply, it wasn't normal...

'I have to be used to her now... she's changed somehow... not a weakling like before and isn't afraid of death'

Sasuke thought to his mind...

"Well yes" Sakura sighed... "Too bad... Well, Kaze, you can some out now!"

Sasuke performed a stance readily as he noticed Sakura wasn't moving at all. "What's wrong with you, why aren't you moving?" Sasuke said seriously needing explanation...

"Don't worry Sasuke, well look..."

She raised her hand and turned to face Kaze, Kaze now raised his hand as done.

"Well, what happened?" Sasuke said as he wondered why?

"Sasuke you baka! Can't you get it? I can control him, and he IS be my puppet"

'Did she just call me a... baka?' As if Sakura knew what he was thinking, she said this. "Don't expect me to be nice to you Sasuke no baka! Well, that was all about pay back time" Sakura smiled innocently, Sasuke sweat dropped...

"Well, now we have to find Kakashi sensei and that dobe too"

Sakura then made her last part of fun. "Sasuke, would you mind not getting in the way?" Sakura said irritably... Sasuke not knowing what have happened just nodded and weirdly looked at Sakura. His eyebrow twitched so much more when he saw the murderous look at Sakura.

"Sakura, I don't think-" he was cut off when a lot of scotch tape was put in his mouth.

Sakura grinned evilly as she prepared to get her kunais. Kaze meanwhile was sweating, seriously sweating; he didn't know that the said lady was this brutal... "Sleep tight! Kaze-kun!" Sakura said, as she targeted at minor parts, just letting him fall unconscious, since she was running out of chakra just controlling him for a few hours. She now attached chakra strings, so to make sure, he won't be able to run away.

Sasuke saw this all and said to her. "Sakura you really changed... I don't understand you" unconsciously...

Sakura heard this and hugged him off, nearly choked him to death. "Well, I have nothing to talk about Sasuke-kun, sometime later, you will figure it out" Sasuke was surprised at her actions and just let her hug him...

They headed towards finding Kakashi and Naruto, Sakura then turned back to serious. "Well, let's go Sasuke"

Sasuke nodded and they leaped searching for Kakashi and Naruto.

Back to Naruto

He managed to catch some fish and started to make fire to cook them. "Thi im so goon!!! I riwy nike ish" Naruto said, as he ate his third fish...

After eating, she washed his face and put off the fire...

When suddenly, to pairs of figures came running to him, and another person, slowly trailing behind.

Naruto was doing his fighting stance as he felt some warm arms behind him, he turned to look at it, and he blushed. "Sakura-chan! You're safe... and you brought Sasuke bastard along, and that funny person too" Naruto sad sheepishly still blushing red, and he received a smack from Sakura.

"Naruto, what's that on your cheek?" Sakura giggled a little as she lunged herself backwards. "Oh... this?" Naruto said as he rubbed the red spot again. "So dobe kun got kissed huh?" Sasuke said to him irritably, Naruto challenged him to a fight...

"hn... you can't beat me" Sasuke said...

Now Sakura had time to enjoy their fight, she would not stop them like before because it felt that it was just a waste of time.

Naruto feeling awkward told Sakura this... "Sakura-chan... are you feeling ALLLRRRIIIGGHHTTT!" She was punched hard on the face. Sakura just laughed. She was enjoying it, very much...

Sasuke smirked and said. "Dobe, never let your eyes off your fight" Sasuke said as he neared closely at Naruto.

Naruto grinned as five Narutos came rushing towards him. "Kage bunshin huh..." before the Naruto clones ground him, he shot each of them kunais.

"Urgh!" Naruto came rushing with a hurdling fist coming up, Sasuke manage to block it easily and the following kicks punches....

After an hour or so... he managed to block those kicks and punches... same routine... Naruto was exhausted... same with Sasuke.

Sakura pouted and turned it again into an evil grin, with her most diabolical plan. "Idiots"

Then haven't noticed Sakura disappearing... and continued to stare at each other...

'Perfect opportunity' she thought as she grinned wildly

With no further notice, both of them stammered to the ground... "Idiots, your fight is the most boring thing I ever saw" Sakura laughed a little and quickly the two of them returned to consciousness. "Why did you do that Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked while crying. Sasuke was annoyed at what she stated...

He attacked her... and then she vanished, only appearing behind him... "Sasuke- kun, I know you are tired, as well as Naruto kun, I just put a stop at your fight, that's all... but then again, I used it to cheer myself up, nothing else to do..." And she pushed him forward ad appeared at the middle of the two... Now looking serious

"Now all we have to do is to find for Kakashi sensei!"

Sakura said, and she disappeared. "Dobe, follow us now, it's not safe here" Sasuke inquired Naruto and he nodded, but he was guilty of being called as a dobe... Naruto soon followed and caught up with them. Racing to the forest Naruto asked them...

"But how come you found me?" Sakura explained to him rather very clearly.

"The reason we found you first is because we know you are very hungry and thirsty too, so we would find you in a river or some place where there is food, next, you gave your position when we noticed the smoke that comes from the fire you just made earlier" Sakura said and Naruto replied with an "ahhhh..."

Sakura thinking of where they would find Kakashi came to a halt. "Does anybody know here where we got separated?" She said, and Sasuke smirked. "Follow me" Naruto ended up thinking... 'That Sasuke bastard... always doing this and that... always the star... well next time I'll show him' he hasn't noticed that he hasn't moved an inch, and earned a yell from both Sakura and Sasuke.

"Naruto follow us if you don't want to get lost!" "Dobe! Loser, are you really that slow?"

Naruto shook his head and followed them

Back to Kakashi

He sensed some movement near the trees and kept his book back. "I know they would be back"

Three of them gracefully landed in front of Kakashi and Kakashi simply noticed something. "Sakura... was having fun?" Sakura nodded and Naruto scratched his head in confusion...

"I'm going to tell all of YOU something..."

He paused... "Nani Kakashi sensei?" She asked, listening very carefully.

"The scroll has been taken..." All three of them had their jaws drop back to the ground

"Bu... bu... but we spent weeks on getting there! How can you let such a thing happen! Kakashi sensei!" Sakura almost collapsed but then turned her eyes to look at Kakashi; he will be saying something after that.

"But then again... I saw the culprits face, she was a woman, and she has a very long hair" Sakura was kinda taken aback by this. "Tell me really, how long is her hair, what are her physical characteristics" Kakashi closed his eyes and said. "She has violet eyes, and a dark violet hair, she said something about Megami Tensei... it was some kind of special summoning, and that was all I knew... but don't worry we haven't failed the mission yet"

At the time she heard the Megami, she felt a sudden ache at her head. "Sakura-chan, daijobu?" Naruto said with awe.

"I'm okay Naruto, Kakashi-sensei... Me... ahhhh!" She said as her head began throbbing again...

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto helped Sakura up...

'Megami, where did I hear that name... the more I think about it, the more headaches it causes' She turned to look at Kakashi.

"We will all be heading towards Konoha in about a day or so, after that we will be reporting it all at the Hokage" Kakashi motioned his hand to let them follow him...

The trio nodded, forgetting the injuries, they headed using normal taijutsu towards the direction of Konoha

"That's alright Chie, I'm sure you could think of some sort of negotiation. We will assemble here tomorrow, make sure you replace the yon akurei with their new members, I found that weak, that squad of yours... All the five of us..."

The hooded woman disappeared into the abyss, followed by the others...

"Kyohu, I will tell something to you... in less than a week, find a person stronger than you, bring Shizuka together with you. We have to do this fast. Mitsuki's temper is uncontrollable..." She said...

"If that is what you wish, Chie-sama" Chie stared to her and motioned for her to move on. In an instant Kyohu disappeared, leaving Chie alone again. "I'll be training today"
After two days of traveling...

Amazingly nothing happened during their travel and they have arrived at the gates of Konoha for some time.

"AT LAST!" Naruto said joyfully as he imagined his ramen. Sakura stared at the gates and noticed something. "Ne Kakashi sensei, do you see all the shinobis that are in front of my eyes. Don't' get me wrong, I am telling the truth" Sakura said as she pointed towards the gates where she saw the shinobis.

"Yeah, you are not hallucinating Sakura-chan, they are really there" Kakashi pointed lazily and Sakura gasped... "But why so many?" She tried to calm her self and regain her composure...

"We have to see ourselves if we have to find out..."

They slowly approached the gates and they noticed a few guards heading back, while the others waited there. Sakura used her camouflage technique so that she would not be noticed... while

"Kakashi" Gai started... "My rival, sorry, but we are regarding the safety of the village, please wait here while we call Tsunade-sama" Gai said as he flashed his genuine smile...

"What's the problem anyway, why don't you let us in?" Kakashi said observing their actions.

"Well, you will find about that later, now all you have to do is sit their and wait" Kakashi nodded, and decided to do on what he was told, Naruto meanwhile was heartbroken, because they would not let 'him' in. Sakura patiently waited atop the tree braches dangling her legs down, while Sasuke just took a sit at the near tree, at its shadow.

After a few more minutes, Naruto was getting impatient and decided to shout at them. "What's TAKING YOU SO LONG?" only to be smacked by a brutal force that appeared behind his back. Kakashi noticed this and bowed his head. "No need for formal greeting Kakashi, so how was the mission... more importantly Sakura..."

Kakashi's head shot up as he heard the name Sakura... Sakura meanwhile heard this and jumped down and revealed herself.

Tsunade sighed and said. "This is going to be a problem... Come in inside and tell me about the mission"

Most of the few genins can never take their eyes away from Sakura; she managed to keep herself calm and collected, giving each of them a glare if she noticed some movement...

Sasuke had all his fan girls at the sides still looking at him, while Naruto... was being dragged by a chuunin because he almost ran to the ICHIRAKU RAMEN... to eat you know what

Sakura ignored the stares that were given to her, now she was getting annoyed... Stares... 'Urgh... annoying... annoying'

She played with her kunais along the way to accompany herself... Being prepared for the incoming attacks is the best thing to do. After a few more seconds, they reached their destination. At the long end of the corridor, third floor, they entered it.

The current Hokage, Godaime, Tsunade-sama, took a sit at the deckchair, overlooking the room; she motioned for Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto to sit.

"I have a que-" Kakashi was cut off, like before... "I will explain everything Kakashi, after my explanation, I advice Naruto... since he is too busy too listen, to go accompanied by the Anbu towards his ramen store... Sasuke, you will also be motioned to be accompanied by the ANBU to anywhere you go..." She looked at the eyes of the girl playing with two of her weapons... "You can already break the genjutsu now, I know he's there somewhere" Sakura nodded, she performed sets of seals and said:

"kai..." Blue streaks of hair flew down at the moment, and 'Kaze' appeared, he wasn't in a good shape to be said for exact and is needed to be checked fast. "What happened to her?" Before Sakura could say the word 'why, I just made fun of him... is that bad?' thing, Sasuke knew that it would cause a ruckus so he managed to just tell his less negative story...

"She tortured him for target practice, but at the least, she kept sustaining him with her chakra, so that he would not die... Hokage-sama" as expected, Tsunade sweat dropped and shook the thoughts off her mind. Sakura shot Sasuke a glare... She called four Medic Nins and laid him in a stretcher... [Aww... nasty] "And Sakura-chan, release the chakra strings you attached to the... er... young man" Sakura smirked and pilled the string one by one, putting peculiar amounts of chakra, she managed to inflict her last damages on Kaze, sending electrifying shocks... "Stop that Sakura-chan... well; we may need some explanation to really be done"

After Kaze was taken out, Tsunade gave out a sigh...

"Recently, there have been terrorist attacks, or as we have known, some attacks around all the hidden villages, that includes all. We have known the reason of this group and that is to get some of the ancient scrolls. These are the scrolls obtained from the 'Great War' long ago, and are believed to be owned by a unique clan, we have tightened the security, so that no further damages are given... Now I have explained most of it, I want the report"

The Hokage turned to look at them, and lastly looked at Kakashi. "Well... what do we have?"

Kakashi reported...

"We have reached the destination that you were looking for, but we have encountered two groups, the first group we have encountered was after Sakura, and nearly killed her" Kakashi sighed and Tsunade's face turned to be interested.

"After days of rest, she recovered, but was believed to be attacked again, said by Naruto and Sasuke" Sakura was now threw him a look of disgust while running her fingers at her short hair...

"Go one, what happened" Tsunade let her chin lay on her hand that was elbowing the desks... "We have reached our destination through that Naruto Bridge... [Please forgive me for not including it... I know its there but emotional moments are hard to write... a little] into Mera-san's house. We acquired the said scroll and found something about Sakura" Kakashi turned to look at Sakura and Tsunade's eyes seemed to follow, she understood.

"Well, Naruto, Sasuke, you are now dismissed" Tsunade said in a low voice

Naruto had this 'yokata' look and Sasuke had this 'NANI?' look...

After the door closed, Sakura silently moved to one of the chairs and took a seat, closer to Tsunade's place... She stood up the entire time

"Go on Kakashi, tell me, what exactly happened" Tsunade used her reassuring voice

"We found out that she can read the scriptures easily, but she was not aware of that, we have already confronted her and she said that there had been these weird visions that had been present in her mind. We also found out that she was having some sort of seal in her, and we have temporarily sealed it"

Sakura looked at him suspiciously... "Seal?" Sakura said...

"Yes a seal Sakura-chan... we found that out when you collapsed... it is can only be seen at few times... by my sharinggan, and if you activated it, it would show up"

Sakura looked puzzled... "I don't remember any seal... there's no such thing in me" Sakura said defiantly and Kakashi ignored that and went on with his story. "After that night, she had completely changed... like that" He turned to look again at Sakura, who was really looking murderous... annoyed... highly annoyed... Tsunade nodded in agreement. 'Whatever that was, it should have been very big, since it changed her...'

"We came back because she ordered it, along the way; we were ambushed by the group 'yon akurei' which is believed to do something about the recent happenings. They managed to take away the scroll, but they did not succeed on getting Sakura"

Tsunade nodded...

"Hokage-sama, do you know any reason why they are after the scroll and any some of them are after Sakura?"

Meanwhile...

'We have been in a long mission... some things are still left uncertain... well all I know is now, we're back'
