Chapter 10

A dream

Flashback

"I'm going to save you Sakura-chan! Hyuga bastard, you have no right to carry Sakura-chan!" Naruto demanded followed by some Anbu. Neji smirked, and went fast pace, Naruto growled and followed throwing comments of such. Suddenly Neji said... "What's with the Anbu?"

Naruto pouted and said. "The old-hag wanted me to be watched! Hey wait a minute... One, two, three... Hey, why's the other person missing?" Naruto said suspiciously, the three nodded. "Our leader went to report to Hokage-sama the incident, several Anbu are already headed at the Hospital waiting" Naruto scratched his head... "Why are there so several Anbus, like she just passed out" The three Anbus hastened and so did Neji and Naruto...

They soon passed to the Hospital, they quickly did their job. It was true; there were already several Anbus there waiting for them. Medic teams are on the go, checking everything if they were alright.

Neji was questioned on what could be the sudden cause of this, he said the whole incident, and when he was finished, the questionnaire was wide eyed. "But that can't be, we have already secured every place, one could not pass the Konoha gates, what your saying is impossible." The questionnaire said. "I don't want to talk more, please excuse me" He closed his eyes and shut the door, leaving the bewildered person behind.

End of Flashback

"So that was all" Naruto finished... "Sakura... is she going to be alright" Ino asked... even though she hid it, she was very obviously worried about her former friend. She was shivering at her sleep, there was something more...

They checked her room and noticed that there was a machine attached to her. Lee on the other hand upon hearing the news from Neji hurriedly came towards the hospital in a flash; there was also Hinata, accompanied by Kiba... and Neji. They all waited patiently for her. A chuunin medic Nin approached them and told the following conditions.

"Right now, we have figured that yes, it was a genjutsu that was used against her, she maybe experiencing a slight trauma now in her mind, all we have to do is to wait for what could happen. She should have reported this before, someone out there is mingling with her mind... and genjutsu powerful as that can't be done by an ordinary person or shinobi... We also have no idea of whom is it and why... Her condition is fine for the moment, we advice you to keep watch of Haruno Sakura" With that the chuunin medic exited the room.

Sakura's dream

Her head was placed at her kneecaps and she was hugging it very tightly. Looking around, it was just so dark; the only light she could see was only coming from her, and again, she was wearing the stupid white robe... She decided to stay quiet and see what could happen. She knew she was on a dream again, and this was all genjutsu, so what made it look so real?

She was getting annoyed, she decided to stand up, but someone hugged her from behind... She was the woman... "Now what do you want" Sakura asked the woman. "I want to... show you something" The woman said, slightly caressing her cheeks... "Why... are you doing this to me?" Sakura said, as she felt cold chills and shocks from her spine. "Like I said, I want to show you something... something that would interest you"

In a flash she was gone, she opened her eyes and see she was at the haruno household... but she was not the one controlling her body. The woman laughed... "You belong only to us..." Sakura saw her parents standing in front of her, she laughed relentlessly. As she attacked them emotionlessly... deep inside she was already crying... - In reality, tears were already spilling from her eyes, her hands shaking... Ino took notice of this and shook her hand... The heart beat was getting slower... and Ino called for the medic Nins... "It is really normal; please hope that she would survive the ordeal" - Their blood poured to her face and her cold piercing eyes were covered by them. She turned around and the woman clapped... Sakura said... crying... "Now are you happy?" Sakura said, rushing towards the woman, the woman let all her anger spill out because this was the part of the plan.

The woman held her and did some seals, visible to her eyes... Sakura who was sobbing uncontrollably stepped back... "What are you planning to do?" Sakura said, as soon as she finished, she touched her forehead. In an instant, she was burning rapidly... - Marks started appearing from her body there, she was in rapid breathing... The Anbu was alerted and her friends were decided to step back. They performed the same seal... like before "GAIA" The leader shouted; the others were supporting him... "Niju Fuin!" He finished... She breathed back to normal... and the marks slowly returned into one again...

"What the hell happened?" There was a slight commotion in the room... - "Nani?" The woman said, as she noticed the girl collapsed... 'This is going to be harder than I thought... but before that' she smirked slightly. She pulled the girl closer to herby the hair and whispered something at her ear... "Miru technique... See it now" the woman disappeared, Sakura saw something, which she didn't know how to explain...

There was a sword at her heart... She suddenly wondered 'did I die... am I dead?' Seeing the last light... She was talking to someone, and she found herself slowly collapsed... Next, she saw herself dressed at the same clothes, only that there were several marks at her body... flash... there were five persons watching her... but she didn't know what... "Urgh... please don't show any of these to me... It hurts... my head hurts... my heart hurts... REALEASE ME!" Thousands of corpses flashed to her mind... Thousands of painful expressions... in a flash, she can't close her eyes... She can see it flooding in to her mind... and the voice of the woman said... "Kill or be killed... the weak shall only live with the permission off the strong... otherwise the strong shall live and the weak shall die... you said it before? Don't you remember?"

End of her dream...

She shouted and the glass of the windows broke... the Anbu decided to perform a shield so that the certain pieces would not cause damage... She noticed all of their faces and they needed some explanation... Taking no more notice, she decided to pull out the machine that was attached to her... She can't take it anymore...

She said coldly... "Please leave me alone..." She said while her tears were already falling down like waterfalls. That's it, she would cry because of the pain... no because she was weak... Naruto took no notice and decided to hug her... she didn't move an inch... She just stared at space as if there was no one there.

The moment Naruto's skin touched her; she looked at him... pretty scared... She was thrown to the wall... and Sakura's head just go down to her kneecaps again...

Ino deiced to move towards her, and asked her if she felt ok... Slowly, she bent over her... She heard her murmur something and bent closer to her...

"I want to die... I want to die... I want to die..." that was all Sakura said... as she tilted her head to meet Ino's "Sa-sa-Sakura... are you alright?" Ino said, as she began studying her...

Sasuke also made his way towards her; Naruto recovered and went beside her... She hugged her kneecaps even more... Horrible things kept flashing at her mind... She began restraining herself... and she began to open up her eyes. There they were, she stopped her mourning and faced them. She decided not to be weak...

All of a sudden she saw her parents coming towards her. "Don't come near me" She hissed coldly, her mother was surprised to see Sakura...

"Well, Sakura-kun, we just wanted to visit you-" She cut her off by saying these words... "Hurusai!" Her mother looked behind... Sakura didn't know why she did it. She looked at the window and thought of the words she last heard... "Kill or be killed... the weak shall only live with the permission of the strong... otherwise the strong shall live and the weak shall die..."

Feeling a little bit down, Sakura crunched her left hand, her fingernails etching... Turning to white... "I... I need to go, please don't follow me again..." Before something could happen, she heard someone smirk...

"How do you expect someone to do what you want to do? You have just burned a part of the forest, almost killed the lot of genins and chuunins, how do you expect for them to act?" She turned her attention to Neji, true, it was logical, that she was going to be watched in any way possible. She kept her emotionless face and looked down, after some passing time; she finally decided to go out.

She slid down her blanket and reached back for her katana. Next, she decided to jump from the 10th floor, down to the ground. Before she could jump, she felt two hands at her hand and one at her shoulder. She turned to face them and it was Neji and Sasuke... The two boys looked at each other. Sakura just shook her head, she can't do this, before anyone took notice, she jumped and the two boys nodded, they too jumped and followed her...

Sakura, who was falling very vastly said to them... "I said to you two that you leave me alone!" She said, now finally resulting to her cold stares. Sasuke and Neji, who used to do this weren't affected at all. Now almost reaching the ground, she landed gracefully, by using her chakra, yes.

"I'm getting annoyed, very annoyed I mean" She looked at them both... "That's it! I'm going training! Go if you want to go! I won't stop you!" She was shaking with anger right now, as the two of them get to see her practice... 'Of all people'

Back at the Room

The Hokage finally made her way towards the room, and noticed that she was too late... "Mrs. Haruno, may I ask you to let me keep your daughter first, we need something from her" Tsunade spat, this was difficult, but she was surprised that Mrs. Haruno let her do it, and said yes...

Her friends all helped themselves from the incident and were taught to shut up about it, because it would cause such a commotion from the town.

Back to Sakura

She kept a high paced taijutsu and notice that the two of them can easily catch up... She didn't bother to waste much of her energy since she was going to train; training was the only thing for her mind...

After a while, she arrived at the training grounds. The two silently kept watch from her up a tree.

She began practicing... First she used her death dance technique, and her dual combo...

"Kage bunshin no jutsu" She has divided herself to two... Now she did her combo. "Atsumeru : Shi no Odoru : Niju kyu combo" Combined with Taijutsu, you can see her bunshin being shred to pieces, she perfected it so much that even one touch could be fatal... Sasuke and Neji on the other hand were slightly impressed by this technique of hers, but then again, it is not yet her best that she is giving.

"Katon: Senbon no jutsu!" Now she has shown them, why the forest almost burned... She was doing her best to control it... Doing something more peculiar, she said. "Mizu: Ryu no jutsu!" This was what had impressed Sasuke and Neji, a technique such as that needs to have water near them, but she managed to produce a dragon without them.

She was not getting any better... She needed to concentrate on something new. She got an idea instantly, through the scrolls she read... She smirked and began performing the seals...

Gathering all of her chakra at her palms and feet she managed to do the wind element and fire element combo... Doing horse, rabbit, boar, and dragon, lastly... she managed to produce wind and fire currents... for her hands was burning hot at the moment though she didn't feel anything at all.

Wind violently encircled her as well as with fire... She thought... 'This would be a good offense' when suddenly something went wrong

Her head ached once more and she coughed up some blood. Luckily, Sasuke and Neji were there... Neji used Kaiten to weaken the barrier and that led a small hole on which Sasuke got in to.

She smiled at him lightly and said... "Please don't bother me, this is a part of my training, I must learn to do it myself" She gave a reassuring smile but coughed out some more blood... She said to herself... 'I won't let him see me weak... I am not weak... I am not' for the air current, she held both her hands towards Sasuke and shot the combination of Wind and fire... "This is what I call training" Sakura suddenly said, as the current led Sasuke out... Sakura was inside the ball... practicing her chakra... "I'll call this hmmnn... Fuuma no Katon Tentai no jutsu [wind and Fire sphere technique]

At last her headache stopped and her practice was over, there she was kneeling with two kunais on hand... panting... but her training was far from over, she will train until she passed out, that was what she told herself...

Now she decided to do a pattern of Kunai throws up, and target them all at one time... It was all fast. She began to stand up and threw a shower of kunais that would be fatal if it was to back down and hit her... She has done this before, but not this many...

Reached out from her pack... a kunais, the first one was down, now she had two kunais, targeting the two other, now she had four... until she had the exact 64 pieces back in place... Now they were really impressed... Her Ninjutsu was not plain but rather advances, her precision skills were comparable... no much better than Ten-ten's... and she was getting better at advanced Taijutsu... Her chakra control is among the best and could be compared to jounins...

"So, maybe that finishes my training..."

Sasuke smirked slightly, Neji gave him a nod, and they both came towards her, and Sasuke glared momentarily... She put back all her training materials...

They noticed that they had already spent an hour or two watching her, and didn't notice time, it was all so fast. Now it was almost night time, she flexed once more and finished her packing...

She stared at the two of them momentarily, and well... She hated them, and gave them the coldest look possible. She threw a kunai at both of them, but they swiftly dodged it. She felt someone at the back of her and she somersaulted back... only to be catched by Sasuke, exhausted as she is, she wanted to sleep and rest, so she collapsed and it was that, she was caught by Sasuke... thinking of what to do with her.

Neji just went on his way, and Sasuke carried Sakura to the Haruno residence... Only finding that he will be the one who will be carrying him to Tsunade's house. He sighed as he thought of how troublesome this all was. He dropped her at the bench at the park and saw her angelic face... The moon was already showing, now there was no doubt, it was already late at night.

He glanced at her figure once more, as it turned into pale white being matched with the moon. She was beautiful indeed... 'Sakura I'm sorry... I have only one goal and that was to kill him... kill my damned brother Itachi...' he said to himself as he hoisted her and kissed her lightly on her cheek...

He moved forward and wiped some tears forming from her eyes... maybe she was having the nightmare again... He hastened his pace and arrived at Tsunade's house... He saw an Anbu squad guarding the front gate. He heard someone walking outside the door... "Hokage-sama" Sasuke said, Tsunade went to pick Sakura, and noticed her slight fever. "Arigato ne, Sasuke-kun, for bringing Sakura here, how good of you, do you want to come in? I mean, well there's no one here but me, the medic nins, and some Anbu" Sasuke was pulled in forcefully even though Tsunade knew he didn't want any of it.

Then again, she also knew that Sakura would like it if he was to come... She offered him a cup of coffee, and he began drinking it slowly... Tsunade placed her to a room, where medic Nins would be examine her from other case injuries. They would also get her blood sample, and check her pulse rate, check everything about her.

She came down and noticed the Uchiha boy still there drinking coffee, and bemused about his own thoughts. She wanted to talk to him something, she has to say it fast, since she knows, and he was the best person to tell the secret to.

"I want to talk to you, Sasuke-kun, would you mind if I do?" He nodded silently and began sipping his coffee before completely focusing at her. "What is it about?" Sasuke had major hints of what they are talking about, but it's felt to do that way. "I'm going to talk about your, teammate, Haruno Sakura... I want to make this fast, because I know that you have no clue of what is going on"

Sasuke stared at her and inside his heart was suggesting saying the words 'Oh come on. What is it?' She can see through his acts, since she had already experienced it before. "Well, since you're here, I now know its time to hear it, you already know the part that someone is after her... but you still don't know her that much" Sasuke was startled "Why do you say so?"

"Well you have seen the seals don't you?" Sasuke nodded, yes, he has seen it, the intricate lines that formed like writings around her, which glowed in dark color...

"I've given your team the mission for Sakura to be able to get the scroll that was meant for her, because it was somewhat related to her, of some special reason... I have a haunch that they are after her for that power she has..."

Sasuke sipped some of his coffee and turned to look seriously at Hokage... "Are you telling my Hokage-sama that her life is in danger?" He demanded but not letting his anger spill out entirely, keeping his calm personality. That was what he was good of. "I do not really want to admit it, yes... her life will be in danger, and I have this slight feeling that those who are in charge of it will soon appear" Taking another sip from the coffee, he interrupted "So, what are you planning to do Hokage-sama?" Sasuke said politely...

"I've planned a good defense already, we are currently examine and experimenting with her right now" Sasuke spit out the coffee, because he was really surprised and angry about this... "What did you say?" Sasuke said standing up, not bothering if the coffee has left a stain at the couch...

"I'm sorry Sasuke, well, as I have told you; we are checking her condition and experimenting or should I say testin her blood..." Tsunade sighed and let Sasuke said... Sasuke took a seat while she began explaining. "I know this is weird but we had asked samples from both Sakura's parents and we are testing it now. We are doing our job plainly very simply; we are healing her self inflicted wounds as said by the medic team... We also found out about the seal through specialist... We are also doing our best to gather some more information... about the certain genjutsu that the chuunin medic told you, it merged into the seal, and we have no idea how to take control of it, since the only way was for getting the scroll"

'Ah, so this is the feeling of being relieved... I feel, VERY much relieved right now, and now that you tell me that she's going to die... must think positive' Sasuke silently thought as he sighed and his head bowed down.

They were alarmed when they heard screams [as in plural form] from up stairs...
