Want to know what sucks? I finally had this chapter all written out, and my computer gets a frigging virus! So it was deleted. I do not remember what was in it so I'm rewriting it all.

They searched for Sakura for three days. They found nothing except her Konoha leaf forehead protector, which strangely looked brand new. They searched for anything else they could find, any possible clue that Sakura was still alive. They did not avail. They decided to head back to Konoha, to report this to the Fifth.

"Ne…Sasuke?" asked Naruto, his eyes set on the ground. "Do you think Sakura is still alive?"

Sasuke had to consider this question. Did he think she was alive? The explosion was big. No way any normal person could have survived it. But then again, Sakura was not a normal person. Though she seemed weak, she was a strong and clever kunoichi, that was one thing Sasuke was now sure of. She seemed to know what she was doing. That look in her eye sent shivers down his back. Her forehead protector seemed untouched also. No scratches or burns that surly should have occurred.

"No." He finally said after a long period of silence.

"What?

"No. I don't believe she is dead." 'Even though I don't sense her chakra anywhere.' "I don't believe she is hurt." 'Even though she was in an explosion.' "But I DO believe we will find her." 'Even though we have no clue where she is.'

Naruto looked up and faced him. A wide smile spread across his features, his eyes bighting up. "That's the spirit Sasuke!"

Oo

"YOU WHAT!" Shouted Tsunade, causing everything in the room to shake. "YOU LOST HER? HOW CAN YOU LOSE HER? SHE HAS PINK HAIR FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!"

"Sakura is not "lost"…she is simply missing!" gestured Naruto, trying to calm the old woman down. But alas, he made it worse.

"SHE'S MISSING NOW? I'M GOING TO HU-…" Tsunade sat down calmly. She put her head on her hands and looked over at the boys. "Tell me exactly what happened."

Sasuke took a deep breath. "We were fighting Orochimaru."

"Yes, go on." Said Tsunade.

"We managed to kill all of the ninjas he brought with him. Naruto pasted out from a blow, and it was just I fighting him. While I was fighting him, she cut herself up, making it look like she was beat up. Orochimaru went after her to taunt me, I didn't see, but somehow she got explosion tags everywhere.

He finally reached her and she took a kunai out, also full of explosion tags. She stabbed him in the gut and triggered all of the explosions. She smiled, and that's the last I saw of her."

Sasuke looked at the Tsunade's features. She seemed to be trying to figure it out. Try to know what Sakura's plan was. Her eyes showed anger, yet sadness at the same time.

"Very well. You are dismissed." She said calmly, not looking at the boys.

"But," Naruto protested.

"I SAID LEAVE!"

Naruto and Sasuke quickly slipped out of the room, leaving dust figures in their place.

Once Tsunade was sure she was alone, she began to cry. Wet, hot tears streamed down her pale skin.

"I'm to old for this." She said to no one in particular.

1 week later…

'Damn that old woman,' cursed Naruto as he walked fast to the Hokage's office.

Once he got there, he didn't bother knocking. He slammed the door open and walked in. Shizune tried to stop him. He pointed at her and narrowed his eyes.

"YOU!" he shouted ever so rudely. "Let me go find Sakura!"

"Naruto, how many times do I have to tell you, I already have 2 ANBU teams looking for her." Stated Tsunade still looking at her papers. She did admire his persistence to find her, though she would never admit it.

"But Tsuuuuuunaaadee! Everyone misses her! Their going crazy!" pleaded Naruto.

Tsunade's eye twitched. "Just because 5 people dyed their hair pink and jumped off a cliff screaming "WE MISS YOU", doesn't mean Sakura is the cause." Tsunade looked at another piece of paper. "…Okay 6 people. But that doesn't change anything! NOW OUT!"

Naruto walked out looking at the floor. But before he left, he glared at her. A deadly glare that made her shiver a bit.

Sorry that was a little REALLY short. Next chapter will be longer. I just have to get off and I wanted to post this so blah blah blah. PLEASE REVIEW!
