Originally, when she had left to head out, it had been early morning, that way she got a headstart and would be able to put some ground behind her, she progress would be made before she decided that it was time to stop and setup for camp. She continued to race through the trees, hopping from branch to branch without missing a beat. She glanced at the sky to see if it was starting to get late in the afternoon, or if okay to keep going for right now. The next branch that she landed on, she stopped so that she can observe the sky. She stared for a few minutes, then let out a heavy sigh. Judging by the looks of the sky, it getting to be around six o clock in the evening, and here real soon, it would be getting dark. She would have to go ahead and find a safe spot to set up camp, and rest up for the night.
'Really it would have been better to make it to the next town and get a room, but there is no way I would have made it there before it got dark, and it would not be a good idea to travel in the dark, considering this was a solo mission, and considering the idea behind the mission.' She thought to her self, as she landed in front of a cave. She tilted her head to the side, observing it before making any decisions. The cave looked like it had been deserted, and looking at it from her stand point, you honestly can not even tell that there is a cave there, making it a pretty safe place to stay for the night, until the moring hit. She pulled her book bag higher onto her bag, and started walking slowly towards the cave, and making sure to double check there was no chakra signitures following and making sure she could not see anyone following her. When she was in the clear, she picked up her pace a little, and headed towards the cave to get settled for the night.
She made sure she walked further into the back of the cave to double be safe on making sure she would not be spotted while in the cave, even though her chakra was being masked to be hidden. She set her bag down, pulling out her sleeping bag, and a small bite to eat, something healthy at least to make sure tomorrow she would still have her energy. Quickly eating, she laid down on her sleeping bag, laying on her back watching the sealing, as dark took over the night sky indicating the night time had fallen. She tried her hardest to keep her mind from running wild, as she lay there, but it seems to never work that way. she was always thinking about something, and it was always something that would hurt her, and make her feel like she was not good enough, when she use to think that she was. The one person she would always think about, one of the same people she is going to try and capture; Sasuke Uchiha. A couple years ago, she had been one of those girls who had fawned over him, and would fight with the others over him, and her and ino were the main two that would always be fighting, even though he showed no interest in either of us. We had both known back then, but neither cared, because we were that into it, and very stupid for it at the least. The names that he had always called her, like annoying, and always haviong to protect her, and putting his life on the line when he did not have to, all because she could not fight back, because she could not do anything, Almost as if she was doing nothing but getting in his way. Getting in everyones way. 'I wonder what he would think now if he had seen the strength I have devolped, and how well I can fight.' the thought crossed her mind, but she knew that he would never know, because he would never let her show him like she wanted to. 'I wonder how he would react if he seen how well I can hide my feelings without them showing, and show that I really just do not care anymore.' Another thought that had crossed her mind while laying there, But she knew that would never happen either, since he was and is so focused on getting revenge on his brother, in which whom, was not guily, but just following orders for his village, like we all would.
She really could not understand why Tsunade was going to try to tell him the truth. He would either not care, not listen, or instead he would go after denzo, not thinkging twice, and become a missing nin for murdering someone in the village that he should not have. She was actually sure that the Hokage was aware of that, it just makes her wonder, if the hokage was even thinking about this clearly before she sent her on this testy mission. She slowly pushed all these thoughts from her mind, and rolled onto her side, finally falling asleep, and the dream that she had was not something that she expected to happen at all.
DREAM!
It was cold in the location that she was in, and her body felt like it had been shot several times over again. They pain she kept feeling just was not something that was going to go away. She wanted to scream out for help so bad, but there was no one else around with her. A little earlier she had been a battle with sasuke, trying to force him to come home, but he ended up seriously injuring her instead, putting her on the brink of death and then taking off, making sure that she could not follow and try to capture him again. Her breathe began to get heavy as she started walking slowly through the rain, trying to find anyone that can help her, and make sure she survived this, even though she felt like she was not going too.
It was dark outside as she wondered around, hoping to find any sign of life, and so far she was finding nothing, She walked a few more miles, and noticed something laying on the ground, a objecgt of some kind. Whatever it was, is not alive, considering its not moving, still interesting in going to see what the object was, she slowly made her way over there. It felt like it was taking forever just to get over there, but that was because of the injury that she now had in her stomach. When she finally reached the spot, she kneeled down and gasped when she saw that it was a body. The person was breathing, but barely, which meant that he/she was slowly dying. She had enough chakra to heal herself, but instead, she began to heal the stranger. She smiled to herself when she noticed there breathing was becoming regular again, and there pulse was going back to normal. She was almost finished, when a hand reached up to her and grabbed hers, to make sure that she stopped.
She frowned and looked down at the person, who was starting back at her with onyx eyes. She could not help but to stare back. "You are injured yourself, you should start healing yourself, instead of using what chakra you have left on me. I will be fine from here." The person stated coldly, then disappeared. She just stared at the empty spot that the person had been laying in, and frowned. 'this seriously could not be happening. She healed someone and had no idea on who it was that she had healed, wethere they were a bad person or not. Either way from what they said, she could heal herself but it wouldnt be enough to keep her alive, or keep her from going unconcious. Instead of healing, she slowly stood to her feet, and continued walking, in hopes that she would make it to the next town without passing out before getting there.
She passed a sign about a town up a head, and she finally was getting some hope. She walked a few more minutes to try and make it, but instead someone jumped in front of her before she could. Sasuke. I gasped a little, stepping back to try and get out of harms way, but it was too late, she found herself trying to get up off the ground but he would not let her, which only seemed to irritate her. "Look, I understand you do not want to come back to the village with me, and there is no point in making you, but please, leave me be, let me get to the next town." She spoke looking up at his cold ruthless face. He was staring at her, glaring. If looks could kill, then she would be dead now thats for sure. "I told you not to come after me, dont be so... annoying all the time." He stated cooly, still staring at her. She stared back. She was not even coming back this way for him. She did not know he was even going this way. She just knew that there was a town this way, and she needed to get there soon or she was not coming this way. She finally started to get angry. "I did not come this way for you. I came this way for the town up ahead, considering I have a injury and I do not have enought chakra to take of it. Please leave me by and let me by." She stated, glaring at him
Sasuke did not budge though. He was staring at her still, this time with a demonic smile on his face, that gave her the goosebumps and made her nervous all at the same time. She had no idea what exactly she had planned, but she knew this just might be the end for her. Slowly, he lowered his hand to the sword that was there, and unsheaved it, all the while still watching her with his gaze. "This path here, will be the end for you, I will make sure it is quick and painless, and then you will no longer have to worry about being a burden to anyone anymore!" He stated lifting his sword over his head. Sakura covered her face as the sword started to come down, and she screamed when it pierced her heart, ending her instantly.
END DREAM.
She bolted awake, letting out a loud and quick gasp, grasping her chest where her heart was. She started to feel around on her body, looking for any injuries, thinking the dream had been real. Lucky for her, she could not find anything, so it really was a dream, and was not real. At least, not yet anyways. She sighed, glancing outside to see if it was even time to get up and get started. It was still slightly dark, but she seen that it was getting about the time again, to start heading out and get this mission that I was on. "Well, today it going to be a long day, since I did not sleep well tonight since I had that dream, I wonder if it meant anything." She spoke out loud to herself. She just hoped that is not what was going to happen to her when she did finally find sasuke.
She put all her belongings into her bag, and started towards the entrance of the cave, until she felt a chakra signiture that she did not recognize, so she backed a little back into the cave and hid until it passed. She did not get to see who it belonged too. When it started to clear up and there were no signs, she hopped out of the cave and took to the trees heading towards the village that was coming up, the one Sasuke was spotted in. As if right now all she could think about was the dream she had, and what might really happen. The thought scared her, but she forced it out of her mind anyways not worrying about it for now. She needed to focus on the mission at hand and thats what she planned to do.
She stopped when she reached the start of the town, looking around at the small place ahead of her, smiling. 'well this place is small enough that if he is here, then it wont be a problem finding him. just the matter of scoping him out.' she thought to herself, as she walked into town. She glanced around at the little shops that were set up, and frowned. Something seemed like it was off about this town, but she couldnt seem to figure out what it was. She sighed, shaking her head, putting off the feeling that she was currently getting. she walked around for a few minutes but was getting nothing on any signs of sasuke. This was starting to get stressful, and being irritating all in the same. When she realized that she was not getting any clues, even with asking people if they seen him, she decided it was time to leave the town, and search somewhere else, buying some quick food to take with her and eat on the way.
After leaving the border of the town with her small amount of food, and eating, she walked through the woods, making sure she kept her guard up while she was walking in case someone tried to sneak up on her, or tried anything stupid. She walked for a while, continuesly watching her back just in case. It was getting towards mid day, and probably time to stop for a small break. She put her book bag on the ground, pulling out her water bottle to drink a little bit, and sitting on the ground for a moment. She sighed in relief getting off of her feet for a minute, and feeling the fire in them starting to go away. I small smile crept onto her face, as she relaxed for just a moment. She took another bite of her food, and almost choked when she heard a loud noise coming from up ahead. It sounded like there was a fight going on. She frowned, not knowing who it was is the scariest part of being a little ways away from it. There was of course chakra signitures, but they were faint, and she couldnt make out of she had recognized them or not. She frowned once again when she started to get a bad feeling in her pit, one that left her shaking, and it scared her to be point she thought that maybe her mission was coming to an end already. By now, it was starting to get dark, and she knew she needed to make sure the people fighting where not the ones important to her mission. Quickly, she threw her belongings back into her bag and bolted through the trees towards the chakra signitures that she felt, in hope that she would make it in time. She felt one of the signitures start dying down, and she instintantly started to panick a little, and picked up her pace. The signiture that was dying dow was finally gone, and the second disappeared very quickly, making her quickly scared.
She managed to run into a clearing, where there was a lot of damage, and there was kunai every where. She glanced around the area, trying to observe what might have taken place here, and see if there was anything there that would give her any clues to who it might have been that was in the battle. By this time, it was already dark, and it was hard to see anything that might have been on the ground. She jumped from the tree she was squatting in, landing directly on the ground, and quickly started looking around the surroundings again, walking slowly through the clearing. Her breathing began to pick up as she noticed a body laying on the ground, and she immediatly started walkin that way to see if she noticed who it was. She gasped.
Laying in front of her happened to be one of the Uchiha's that she was there for. Just not the one she was hoping to find first. Instead she came across the brother Itachi Uchiha.
