Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.

(Great Naruto Bridge)

Sakura was continuing to make smart little calculations in her head. She crouched next to Marmora who was looking to her for directions.

"You said the mercenaries know what I look like, but not anything else, yeah?" Sakura asked, Marmora nodded and clutched at his stomach which continued to ache.

"Yeah, they don't know what you can do or anything… Just that you're super strong. I'm going to take out the 4 sentries, I'll leave Kuma to you." Marmora stated.

"I really wish you weren't pushing it; you're still hurt…. If you get put back in the hospital, I'm making sure you stay there for the entire duration. You're going to get yourself killed doing this." Sakura said, laying a hand on Marmora's shoulder.

"It's my fault that Kuma is even here. I'm going to make up for that… Besides, you think I have the guts to defy someone who can break stone with her bare fist?" Sakura heard from Marmora before he vanished.

Sakura sighed and made sure her Kunai was hidden. She had one shot, if Kuma saw her, or they trapped her in a Genjutsu, she would be screwed.

"Let's hope that Kuma hates Marmora enough to go after him and not notice me…" Sakura said while she wrapped the kunai in a cloth and kept it under her qipao dress.

She was a Jonin. She was a doctor, but she was a Jonin, she helped her friends and Marmora was one of those friends.

(With Marmora)

The first of the four mercenaries were easily dispatched. Marmora reached and pulled him over the edge before stabbing him in the neck. He was knocked to the ground by a kick.

He was glad most of the bridge was evacuated, either that or the people had a celebration or such.

The men were trained in ninjutsu, they weren't allowed to know Jitsu. He knew that they couldn't be trusted as paid warriors.

The man stabbed at him and Marmora grabbed his arm and twisted, spinning past the Kunai until he could twist the man's neck to the side with a crunch.

"I hope that's enough of a distraction for Sakura to slip in… It's going to take a few minutes to slip to the next side of the bridge… But I'll do that, Sakura needs a lot more support… Well, least I think she does… I hope I'm wrong, she's a lot more then me." Marmora muttered before he left the 2 dead mercenaries where they laid.

He spotted Kuma, he slowly started that way, knowing he'd be a problem.

(With Sakura)

Sakura pretended to be hurt, she limped, making sure to favor her right side. She knew Kuma would go after Marmora.

The man sure looked every bit as wild as possible… Why did he have an ANBI mask? She hummed and continued to make sure the Kunai ready. She needed to act in seconds when she got close enough.

She looked near where Marmora was, he was probably sneaking under the bridge. She ended up walking towards Kuma.

"Excuse me, sir, I'm looking for help. They told me to come to this location, I can't 'find my daughter." Sakura said, leaning on her side and making sure to make sure to look like her face was twisted in pain.

"Oh, and what's your daughter's name? Ms. Haruno?" Kuma asked, looking around, reading each person, each human that passed was another hostage.

"Its…." Sakura started to say as she racked her brain for answers. She could feel Kuma's lips tightening into a smile.

"Sarada, her name is Sarada." She said, she bit back the urge to just lunge forward and bury her blade into his chest.

She wanted to name her daughter… One she wanted to have with Sasuke… A dream that would never come to light, but that didn't mean one day she wouldn't have a daughter.

"Oh, I'll gladly hope you find them. I just need to check with my backup and make sure to find a perimeter to make sure we find her." Sakura heard from Kuma. Sakura knew he wanted to jump her.

"Of course, anything you need to help me find her." Sakura said, she knew ANBI agents used information from records on the people of the village.

She noticed something. One of the 2 remaining mercs was grabbed and pulled over the edge, slamming into a rock and falling into the water and sinking under the surface.

"Excuse me, I have something to take care of, a criminal." Kuma stated, reaching for his pouch.

Sakura unwrapped the Kunai and buried it in Kuma's neck. He turned to face her before Sakura drove a Charka enhanced fist into Kuma's side, throwing him off the bridge.

Kuma's other mercenary looked at his wounded or slain boss before Marmora stabbed him in the back.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that Kuma's end was going to be more drawn out, but I wanted to save that for other chapters. Next chapter will be on Tuesday or so and will show Sakura and Marmora bonding more and showing off the main villain and the aftermath of the fight. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
