Disclaimer: as I've said before I don't own Naruto.
Chapter 4- Where is she!
"Hey guys, look at that," Kakashi said while pointing at a note that is embedded on the wall with a kunai.
Sasuke got the note and dreaded to know what is written on it. It looked like it was done in hurry.
The note says:
Guys I'm leaving for awhile. I promise that I'll be back someday. Sorry, I didn't say goodbye. –Sakura
The three of them were shocked as they read the note that was left by Sakura.
"Let's go." Kakashi commanded as if it was a matter of life and death.
"To where?" Naruto asked totally clueless about what he was talking about.
"We're going to Tsunade-sama, Naruto," Sasuke said stiffly.
Naruto then got it and so they hurried to the Hokage's office.
Sakura is walking through the forest. She studied her location and came to a conclusion that she's half-way through the border of Fire country.
'If I'm not mistaken Kakashi-sensei, Naruto and Sasuke already reported this to Tsunade-sama' she thought 'I'm not angry at Sasuke for what he said, and I'm not doing this to prove anything to them. I'm doing this for my own good. But first things first I need something that would make them stop looking for me…but what?' she thought. Then a crazy idea came upon her…
"Oww.." she whined as she cut her arm which caused it to bleed a lot. She then poured some on the ground. She cut some of her hair and scattered it. She checked her surroundings then made some changes on them. After she was done, the clearing she was in, looks like a battle just occurred there thus killing their opponent. Being the smart girl she is this is just a piece of cake.
'Wow! It looks like Konoha will have the mentality of me dying a brutal death and no body was found' she shivered at the thought but then decided to move on to reach her goal, become stronger.
"Tsunade-sama!" the three of them yelled at the same time while bursting in the Hokage's office.
When they got in, they sweat dropped anime style at what they saw.
The Hokage was half-awake from their sudden outburst, bottles of sake are scattered on the floor and a lot papers were stacked messily on the floor, table, and two chairs.
"Hmm..I WAS JUST RESTING MY EYES!" She yelled defensively.
"We didn't say anything, baa-chan," Naruto said.
"Eh..what do you want then?" she asked the three of them.
"Tsunade-sama, Sakura left the village without supervision from anyone. We're all worried about her. Pls. do something to retrieve her as soon as possible," Kakashi said in the calmest way he could muster.
Her eyes widened when she heard this. "Shizune, get me an ANBU team right now," she ordered her. "You two, thank you for the information. Kakashi, I want to see you and all the other jounins for a meeting at 6:00 p.m. sharp."
"Hai" with that he was gone with a 'poof'
At Ichiraku Ramen Shop….
"Hey, Sasuke-teme, did you notice how baa-chan reacted when she heard about Sakura-chan?" Naruto said as his ramen was served to him.
"Yeah, it seems that they know something that we don't," he answered 'and whatever that something is, they don't want us to know.' he added as an afterthought.
"I'm really worried about Sakura-chan, aren't you worried about her?" Naruto said seriously.
Sasuke is a bit shocked to hear Naruto say something so serious outside a battle. He then hid his expression with a serious look.
"Of coarse I'm worried about her. She's our teammate..." Sasuke looked at Naruto "...And friend," he finished.
Naruto grinned when he heard the last part. 'So Sakura-chan melted the ice around this bastard's heart,' he thought while grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"What's wrong with you? And I thought you were being serious for once. What's with that grin? It makes you look like a cat. Aren't you supposed to look like a fox?" he said in an irritated way. He knew very well what Naruto is thinking, and he doesn't like it at all.
He reached in his pocket and felt a box; it was the case for the silver charm bracelet he was going to give Sakura. 'Oh well, I guess this'll have to wait,' he thought.
Naruto just ignored him and ordered more ramen. But the Uchiha beside him was oblivious to the fact that he was celebrating inside. 'I can't wait until I tell this to Sakura-chan when she comes back. I don't know when she'll be back but then she did promise.' He thought while eating his beloved ramen.
A group of ANBU is now at the Hokage's office listening to what their new mission is.
"If you don't mind me asking, Hokage-sama, why would you send ANBU to find a girl, anyway she is only a chuunin," one of them asked.
"I know that all three of you will be curious about that. Well…how should I put this…she has an advanced bloodline. She doesn't know about it yet. But if I'm correct, it is stronger than the Byakugan and Sharingan put together. I'm pretty sure she doesn't know how to use it yet but I'm not taking any chances for any of our enemies to use my student against us. Now, is everything clear?" she said.
"Hai" then in seconds they were gone.
At the meeting room where all the jounins were…
"You might have some questions why I called for an emergency meeting right now. To answer that is this, Haruno Sakura left the village this morning or last night. This might not sound like a threat to us but it is. Once the enemy finds out about her hidden bloodline ability they might use it for their advantage. So I want all of you to keep your guards up until she comes back." Tsunade said with a firm voice. 'Pls. come back' she thought
"Tsunade-sama what is her bloodline limit?" Kurenai asked
"I don't know what it is called but I know that it is very dangerous. One burst of it in a village, half of it will be destroyed. It requires a lot of chakra and perfect chakra control, in which Sakura is capable of. Well, that is if you know how to use it well." she answered. "She started as a genjutsu type, then I thought her medic jutsus and super strength. I myself will have a difficult time fighting her," she continued.
All the jounins stiffened at her last statement. They were oblivious to the fact that a girl that they thought who was weak was that strong.
