Hi I'm back! Okay so here it goes.
The next day Sakura woke up to the bright shining of the sun.
She looked around and noticed that everyone was still asleep, except for Kakashi who wasn't there.
She stood up and streched until her back popped. She smiled and looked at her comrads mischeviously.
She ran down to the river that was about half-a mile away and scooped up some water with a pouch.
Sakura ran back down to the camp sote and walked to each of them one by one, pouring a small bit of water on each of their faces as she walked past until she got to Naruto when she dumped the rest of the water on him causing him to get sopping wet.
"What the hell!" he yelled sitting up watching all the girls wiping off their faces giggling.
"Sorry, Naruto, my hand slipped." Sakura laughed as Naruto sat up and tried to wipe the water off himself.
"Oh, you guys are up now?" Kakashi said, appearing out of nowhere like he does.
"Yup." Sakura laughed while Naruto began to shake himself off.
"Okay then we need to get going, if my connections are corect the five ninjas should be in the Hanami Forest." He saidshifting his weight slightly.
"Is that supposed to mean something?" Tenten asked looking over at Kakashi with a puzzled look on her face (Hanami is the Sakura festival)
"No idea." he replied returning the look.
Sakura shrugged it off and decided to be the first one to take off soon followed by Kakashi and the others.
"Which way?" Sakura asked Kakashi as she jumped through the trees.
"Just strait ahead until there in a small clearing. When we get there we'll walk until we get to the Hanami Forest." Kakashi replied bouncing through the trees.
Sakura nodded slightly with a deteminded look on her face. She didn't know it until now, but she really wanted to bring painto the five ninjas.
They continued to jump through the trees until they reached the clearing.
One by one they jumped to the ground and began to walk to the Hanami Forest.
They enter slowly and cautiously. Lokking in every direction, before each step.
Sakura looked down to where Naruto was about to step.
"Naruto no!" she yelled, but it was too late. Naruto stepped on aninvisable wire sending a shower on shuriken and kunai flying through the air.
Every one went jumping in different directions to avoid the numerous weapons.
Tenten examined the wire and noticed that it wasn't attached to a tree.
"Hinata, can you use the byuukagan?" Tenten asked looking over at Hinata.
"Yes." she replied lightly,"Byuukagan!"
Hinata began to look around, counting mentally.
"Five." she said and she pointed to the north-east, south-west, north, west and south-east.
They all scattered to different directions with the exception of Naruto and Sakura who ran north together.
They ran to the middle of the forest until they both tripped on a wire.
A shower of needles came flying down. Naruto and Sakura both rolled out of the way.
Sakura missed all but one that ripped the sleeve of her dress, just barley missing the flesh.
They stood up and looked around.
A ninja with light blue hair stared down at them from her high post in a tree.
Sakura recognized her as none other than Ichi, who she was begining to think was the leader of this group.
Sakura looked up and asked with a slight quiver in her voice,"What do you want with me?"
"Well, since you asked," she said jumping from her post," We could really use you with your little friend Sauke." Ichi smiled at the look on Naruto's face
He turned to look at a stunned Sakura, wondering what she was thinking of doing now.
Sakura gulped and took one step forward. She furrowed her brows and frowned.
"Isn't it obvious ," she said looking Ichi in the eye," That I would love the privilage to be on Orochimaru's side..."
Sakura stood next to Ichi and turned to look at Naruto.
"You thought I would turn the offer down, you're a fool." she said with a glazed expression on her face.
Naruto stood in place, dumbfounded, and watched as they walked away and then took to the sky.
Naruto fell to the floor of the forest on his hands and kneesand stared at the dirt. His whole life came crashing down, because of those few words Sakura had spoken.
He stayed on the floor for some fifteen minutes until Kakashi and all the girls came from behind him.
"Naruto, where is Sakura?" Kakashi asked looking down at the trembling ninja on the ground.
Naruto looked up from the ground to look his sensei in the eye.
"Kakashi-sensei, she left with them, willingly, she said it was a privilage to serve Orochimaru." Naruto said, gulping back tears, his voice was shakey and his body was quivering.
Kakashi stared down at Naruto in shock and suprise. That was something he never expected to hear, never...
