Chapter 9

What!!!?

"RamenIgettoeatRamen!" Naruto said in a singsong voice. He was a little depressed that some Anbu had to come with him, but then again, he gets to eat his favorite, no other than that. He had at least some money to buy him three ramens, so he boisterously laughed when he came to the counter.

"I want three Miso Ramens!" and plastered a grin at his face, put the money beside the counter and took a sit, the ANBU just took a quick watch at him. He was suddenly put into a thought... 'Why did the old-hag have to send me anyway? Ahhhh, that doesn't matter, I could eat my ramen now!' He said as the steaming bowls where in front of his teary eyes, as if he was to hug it rather than eat it.

He ate happily more than ever as he tasted the first strands. "Ramen...sips is.... sips so....sips good!!!sips" There were two more to go and he ate sloppily like before.

Meanwhile

She managed to look forcefully at Sakura, who just shot her an indignant look. Thinking about these things

Silently, keeping her posture and cold stares... She was mad at the inside, but so she only shown it when she shot her icy glares...

'Annoying woman, I perfectly know myself, I know how to take care of myself, my only goal now is to find that woman who causes me these annoying headaches... these visions of pure Weirdness is getting on me...' She smirked without knowing it, and listened to what the 'old-hag, according to Naruto' will say.

"Sakura, do you know any reason why you were attacked" She smiled and folded her arms "I thought the Hokage knew about this, but she does not?" and paused "I don't know for what reason did they want me, all I know is that they attacked me, and they deserved to die"

Still sitting, she felt something move at her back. "What are you doing?" Sakura said, emotionlessly. She turned around to look at Tsunade, and Kakashi, who was silently watching Sakura. Tsunade touched something at her neck, then her right hand...

"So the rumor was true..." Tsunade silently said. "Kakashi, tell me more about the attack..." Tsunade said and took a seat back to her chair.

"They called themselves yon akurei, which is in groups of four, the so called Leader was a woman, who I guess was somewhat related to the first attack that had happened"

Sakura's fist clenched and began to speak... "You mean, they are somewhat related to... me" She turned her face... and punched the wall, which held it to crumble. She was indeed training for the past days and had increased up her stamina; chakra control capacity is really near perfect. Taijutsu is advancing to advanced taijutsu; genjutsu and ninjutsu are now at the same level.

She had this cold stare to anyone since she knew that once she decided to do her 'goal' she would leave them, better to not be close to them...

She was confused, but she spoke up. "I hate every one of you... If you are finished, may I exit this... place?" It was more of an order and not a request. Hands flashed with blue flaming chakra, and she looked at her right hand, which had a metal piece of metal elinia in it... She opened it and saw it was bleeding... Closed it again doing nothing about it...

She headed for the door but stopped when she heard the words that come from the Hokage... "Wait Sakura, I have to tell you something, about you..."

Sakura slowly moved her head, and tilted it to a slight direction to meet her stare. "So what is that Hokage-sama?" And turned around completely, now facing her. "I know something about you" Tsunade said as she motioned again for Sakura to take a seat

She refused with shaking her head, she remained standing, waiting for what she has to say. "It has something to do with your seal; I never thought they would find you this early, now I have confirmed it all... You are 'she'..."

Sakura's eyes shown confusion and anger... "Tell me" She said firmly, she knew this was going to be a rush because she was impatient.

"The seal you have, is a celestial seal... only to be given by specific conditions which I know why, the mission that has been given was a B ranked mission, for you to know more about it, asides from it we have no idea."

The Hokage sighed... 'I don't want to tell this now Sakura, I want you to find it out'

With that, she left, with slight annoyance...

And she will be more annoyed... sooner or later...

Meanwhile...

Sasuke was sitting at a tree top with the Anbu watching him... 'I don't seem to find the logic, why do we need to have the Anbu following us... I'd be going training' He silently thought, and hopped down towards the forest, followed by some Anbu...

He decided to lose sight of them, by disappearing into the clearing... 'This would be my training'

He smirked as he saw the rest of them searching the grounds... He forgot to lower his chakra, in an instant the Anbu concentrated and appeared cornering him. "Why do you keep on following me?" He scowled and the leader of the group shot back "Because it was an order"

His smirk crept back into a slight frown, his eyes grew serious... "Would you mind playing with me? I haven't got a good training session, since two days before"

The leader looked to the members, and behind their mask, they has plastered a faint smile. "Kid, I say, you would not be able to match with us..."

He disappeared... "Naughty boy" He signaled the others to follow his lead. "You search at the North part, you south, you east, and lastly, I'm going to the west, if you sense him, fire this up" he handed each of them a small smoke bomb that they are to throw up, it will give their location, and it would not be a problem on locating on which clearing he would be on.

Setting aside to their task, they disappeared searching for Sasuke

The moment she stepped outside...

"What?" She said rather dumbfound, there was Lee at the middle of the crowed. With a banner saying "WELCOME BACK SAKURA!"

'I didn't go away that long, did I, and what's up with that kinda of crowd?' She thought, as she made her way at the tree tops to escape the bunch of 'men' that were scattered along the way. She didn't seem to figure it all out...

She went as fast her feet could carry her to the park, and she ended up being chased by them again. "SAKURA CHAN!" They all said in discord...

They kept on chasing her, so she decided to use advanced taijutsu, but some of them had keen eyes... and that was especially Lee. "SAKURA-CHAN!" It felt like a hundred Narutos were hurdling towards her... Now extremely pissed... and what I mean extremely pissed off.

Unfortunately, they were at the park... Now she wanted to have her fun... and stated to all of them, thinking that if she did her goal, she would be two time stronger...

She made an evil grin as her fan club stopped too. "I..." She said, looking at every one of them there...

"I would make an official declaration!" She said as the others murmured slightly and their murmurs were something like "I know her declaration, it would be a declaration of love" and they all had their happy faces and teary eyes... She motioned to go to the top tree for her to be seen.

"I would only go out" and there was this awaited anticipation "with" There were glittering eyes

"One condition" she said, having a deadly look of kill in her eyes. There were some heaved sighs to be heard, and one asked. "What would be the condition?" Her plastered grin was still visible and she could not take it more than laugh of what she was thinking off. She ahs gone crazy about this and she decided to already put a stop to it.

"You would have to battle me first!" She said, and raised her katana with a deadly look at her eyes. Some of them gulped, while other smirked victoriously, some frowned but then again... it was all too exciting.

She continued her speech... "Those who wants to take me on will have to meet me at the training grounds 6:00 am sharp" She sighed silently and went on with her training, Lee didn't even budge, he went towards Sakura and started a conversation.

"Oh hi Lee" Sakura said, she didn't even bother looking at Lee because she was going training. "Sakura-chan! What happened?" This time Sakura looked at him... "Nothing happened, see I am perfectly fine?"

"But look at you, you have changed!" Lee said, obviously surprised. Sakura stopped walking; her anger cannot be contained... First, she does not know who the heck the woman was, why she is after her... What was the seal all about? Why is there such a feeling of blood in her hands? Why are there so many dreams that keeps on appearing at her head. Why didn't she know about it? Why does she not know that there is a fan club of hers? Why is Lee so annoying? Why does she have to answer stupid questions? Why does she have to talk to him?

Fist clenched, she said coldly, in her eyes, there was pure disgust, you can see her hands flaming with blue chakra "Lee, please leave me alone, I want to be left alone... I don't need ANY of you, I'll be meditating and training for the coming event tomorrow, please... excuse me"

He was left staring onto space when she moved... 'She is far to cold to be Sakura-chan...' Lee said, finally giving up...

Knowing this, she proceeded towards the training grounds.

Back to Sasuke

Limiting his chakra, it was kept low so no one really noticed him. 'Anbu, how great'

He moved himself from the ground towards the clearing outside the forest... "My clones would keep them busy"

He moved outside, and left the Anbu searching for him at the clearing. It would be hard figuring out where he is, since, he left his chakra everywhere...

As he pulled himself up from the Doton technique he used, he found himself surrounded by the Anbu... "Tell me, how did you find me?" Sasuke asked. "You are not a pretty good hider"

"Urgh... okay I give up, you can watch me, I'll be training" He sighed as he folded his arms behind her neck lazily looking mysteriously at the clouds thinking of something to do.

Back to Sakura

She walked steadily and paused when she saw her rival... She smirked as she looked at her, Ino's malicious voice stood out. "Well if it isn't the forehead girl? Huh, is that you Sakura?" Ino said as she averted her gaze from her teammates to Sakura.

"Yah, it's me Ino, I would want to talk about something" She said coldly, her stares piercing and Ino turned into the other direction, only to see her standing right in front of her... She almost screamed but kept it to herself. "Sakura what do you want to tell me... If it's about Sasuke, I'm still not giving him to you" Ino said panting heavily.

"Well, it's something about that really" Shikamaru and Chouji turned their gazes to the two, Ino was already trembling because of Sakura. "Well... w-w- what do you want forehead girl?" Ino clumsily asked

"I wanted to tell you, that you could have Sasuke-kun" with a slight smirk on her face

"Hontoni?" Ino asked as she added "Well, maybe forehead girl chickened out, maybe she was afraid to lose to my beauty" She said while she was holding out her laugh... Shikamaru was already terrified of what could happen. It was the wrong words at the wrong time.

Sakura flashed a glare of daggers and used a swift movement. She appeared at her right, punching her neck, then a kick to her chin sent her tumbling up, and then she was smashed to the ground by her finishing combo. If she didn't hold back, she could have easily killed her, if she used her bracelets, she could have injured her badly... Ino stood up clumsily and shouted at her. "What did you do that for?"

An evil smile crept to her face, making her look very dangerous. "Stop calling me forehead girl, I don't need you, leave me alone and never talk to me again" She kept herself silent, of what had happened earlier...

She vanished to go to the training grounds, promising herself that tomorrow she would beat all of them and they would be sorry for ever trying to chase her.

She went into the forests and into the clearing; she would now try to do a new trick...

"Katon: senbon no jutsu" She said, with that, thousands of flaming needles shot, totally demolishing the tree. But she sighed... She continued her intense training, this time, trying something new.

She smirked, and now she was practicing her chakra for something, she began concentrating... then after a few more minutes, she gradually smiled, and flashed a dangerous one. "I will call this ha doru no jutsu" In an instant, she began outing it with combination with her fire type jutsu. "Katon: senbon no jutsu" she said... at the last phase she said... "Niju..."

The leaves began to rustle, and her fire began to burn the trees, at this point, if she does not stop, the forest would be totally demolished. The moment the leaves fell off, they danced to her rhythm, using her chakra for controlling them, and she enjoyed the sensation of heat, radiating from all around her...

She stopped dead as something flashed from her mind...

This was causing a large commotion since they can see the near forest burning, they sent up some genins and chuunins to see what happened...

An older version of hers was standing in a battle field... and yelled out something but she didn't hear... The image flashed to a place where there was so much peace... so much that she wanted to stay, but there were some figures, she didn't remember those faces... So many faces... Her head kept aching... "Urgh!" she said at it... in reality she just stayed at the middle of the clearing performing some jutsus being controlled by someone else... It stopped... all she can see was her practicing at the clearing and ten women with masked faces approached her... and it vanished...

She finally shook off the thought and angrily hissed to herself off why on earth was she surrounded by a flock of ninja genins and chuunins. One caught her eyes... 'Isn't that Neji?' She never knew the reason was until she regained back her memory from before...

'So that's what happened, better play with them, since they can't go near me, I've still had plenty of my chakra to provide my show' She grinned evilly, as she disappeared from the sight. Neji activated his byakugan in search of her... He looked up and saw her.

"Shi no..." She decided not to continue, since killing them would make her feel unlikely of before... Her hand swung off to another direction as she knocked them out using just sheer force. Screams were heard as she unconsciously dislocated some of their bones... Never thinking why she did so, she just felt doing it. Being here in the first place was only for her enjoyment.

He leapt up from one of the trees and saw how she had dramatically changed. "Haruno" he started to say, as she finished the last of them... He smiled evilly. "Do you want to end up like the rest of them huh?" Her attire was practically eye catching now that she decided to put out the black cloak she wore...

Answering her question, he decided to continue, darting forward, he found herself face to face with the same cold eyes like before. She hated herself for even having feelings of fear before... She somersaulted towards the middle which led her back to the fires...

"Leave me alone here... I don't need anyone, go away" Her voice seemed to be in deep sorrow but no trace of emotion was in it... She hugged herself so much more and said after that...

"Mizu" She summoned a water jutsu to clear it all out and made her way out of the center place to ride its waves. Standing up, she leapt to her feat and caught her cloak which she latched herself into.

After the gigantic wave, she saw him, still there. "Why are you still here? Why did YOU of all people have to end up with me...? I want to be alone, so just leave me!"

'So it's true then, as Lee said, she changed' He proceeded in his advancing towards her. "Haruno, do you want to battle me?" She shot her head back up and laughed a little. "I'm not as weak as you think..." She said silently as she noticed he vanished and appeared at her back.

Her head throbbed a little harder... She moved away and began to kneel at the ground... scratching it ferociously while her other hands pulled her hair... Neji who was seeing this all could only do but stare in confusion... He walked to her figure...

She bit her lower lip so that she would not have to scream. "Are you... okay?" He knew the answer, she's not... but why did he even ask it.

Trying to speak, she said... "My head's aching and I'm on the ground, you perfectly know that I'm not" She forcefully said. She breathed out a sigh... She stood up and braced her temples, something was wet, her right hand... "Perfect... Whoever you are there, I'm not falling for the genjutsu spell you gave me" Neji, using his byakugan scanned if there was someone near...

He spotted a hooded figure and told her

"There's someone there" Neji said, hurdling towards the direction, he swiftly averted his gaze because he heard a soft thud...

She landed softly to the ground, hair covering face... noticing the figure has moved from its current position, he prepared for a fighting stance. All of a sudden, he felt a tap at his back. He spoke, "What did you do to her?" The hooded woman laughed...

"You don't have anything to do with her, well; I would likely answer your question anyway. Our hime-sama here needs to know.... Something" She appeared in front of Neji. "And what does that supposed to mean" He hurdled a kick towards the woman but she swiftly evaded it. "Take care of her... because she is special" Before something could happen, the woman disappeared; he hurried over Sakura and checked her if there were any injuries... He noticed her right hand was bleeding but not severely.

Without any more hesitation, he carried her figure [bridal style.] and headed for the Konoha hospital...

Back to Naruto

He finally finished his last bowl of Ramen and decided to go to some other place, followed by the Anbu of course. He stretched and yawned but saw someone swiftly carrying somebody... 'Am I hallucinating... or is that Hyuga carrying Sakura?' He slapped himself but he still saw it, and came to a conclusion... "SAKURA-CHAN! I'LL SAVE YOU!"

He followed them... and Neji knew that he was being followed...

Back to Sasuke

He has been training for about a half hour when he heard some commotion, the forest was slightly burring, he didn't care. He invited one of the Anbu jounins for a sparing match and he has been trying out one of his new jutsus. When suddenly...

"SASUKE-KUN!" Some of the fan girls happen to have known his location, when he noticed a familiar blonde but she was not smiling she was crying... She fended off the other girls to reach him and when she finally did, she cried even more. Sasuke just gave her an icy glare... "Tell me, why are you crying and what does that have to do with me?"

He waited for an answer when suddenly Ino embraced Sasuke's neck... which led to the other fan girls hurdling towards him... Sasuke signaled the Anbu to fend them off... While Ino was still crying and he removed her from him...

"Tell me, why are you crying" She wiped her tears and said... "It's... it's... it's... Sa-sakura baka, she's not Sakura any more!" Sasuke nodded... He went towards the shade of one of the trees and took a sat. Ino followed him and sat near him. "Tell me" Sasuke interrupted...

"Well, I saw her and I called her forehead girl... not like before, her eyes are really driving me nuts, and those looks are only given if she wants to kill someone... She has really changed, when I insulted her when she said she gave up on you, she attacked me... and I also know she was holding back... Sasuke-kun, what happened to her?" Ino can't help but crying a little more... Sasuke was taken aback when he heard the phrases... 'She gave up on you' Sasuke stared to the ground and noticed Ino was already standing...

Suddenly a messenger was sent to them... "Are you the teammate of Haruno Sakura?" They both wondered why?

"She is confined momentarily at the hospital, she's suffering mental genjutsu right now, but please don't worry, she's alright... but she might be having horrible dreams... we are resolving it right now" The two were shocked and decided to hurry over the hospital...

Sasuke had only one thing in mind, as well as Ino, 'Sakura...'

On the other hand

A playful teenager was studying at a special school, about assassination, weapons and jutsus. She went outside and was surprised to see a figure with a dark violet cloak. She smirked and knew that something was about to happen. Her light blue hair waved a little as she waved goodbye to her fan boys, and fan girls.

-

At the top hills of the mountain, there stood a fire tree and a person... Her hair waving as the winds blue. She received the same invitation as well as the first one. She smiled and dissapeared together with the messenger.

-

At the midst of a village, in the darkest parts, stood a black hooded woman, she licked the blood of her hands, since she has just terorized and murdered the entire village's populatin. She heard someone and sensed it coming. "I've finished my work... so that means..."

-

"They've already headed, Mitsuki-sama, chie-sama" The tow nodded and Chie suddenly spoke. "Good" having a deadly glare... They both laughed a deadly victoriuos sound... as they waited for their arrival...
