Author' s Note: This was created originally when Sakura's parents were still completely and utterly unknown beyond merely calling her once or twice from off panel. There were not even Filler/Movie version of them created yet(which I still do not accept as canon since they are movie/anime only)

With the passing of the yesterday into tomorrow at the stroke of midnight, Sakura was still sitting on chair in nothing but hospital gown with dazed expression on her face on her stone face as the Hiashi, Inoichi ,Jiraiya, and the Third Hokage had long seen left the room as there was nothing more that they could do for her at the moment and in this room they were sure that they did not have to worry about any outsider getting to her so she would be safe their as the night past her by.

Once again her parent had been lied to about the true location of their daughter but it was for the safety of all the parties in involved. Sakura's condition was beyond her control as she did not ask for this to happen to her it just did. Yet going off what happen to Naruto who did not ask to have Kyubi sealed in him as baby. Sarutobi decided that it was best to keep Sakura away from her parents as they truly think that Naruto is demon that should have been killed twelve years ago so what would they think of their own daughter turning to stone at night. While it was long shot they might actually blame it on Naruto and even try to destroy Sakura while she a statue thinking she an impostor. That there real daughter was dead thus the 'fake' must be taken out

Though while Sakura may be protected from outsider (people not from Konoha or without access to this area) trying to get to her that did not mean she was protect from insiders (those from Konoha with access to where she was being keep). This person that was enter the room and was now looking over the petrified Haruno before him.

"Amazing truly amazing as if I did not see the pictures given to me by one of my loyal follower and now standing before the real thing myself I would not believe that something like this is even possible" they said as they were simply in awe at how detail Sakura was in her current state.

"This sure would take even the world's greatest sculptor years to create even something as half as good as what she had become in just a few moment" the man thought out loud.

This person that was looking over Sakura's statue was known as Danzo. One the Konoha elder as well as one of the oldest villagers in Konoha. He is also in charge of the ANBU faction named Root that despite being supposedly disbanded years ago is still very much active to this day. Once rival of Hiruzen for the title of Third Hokage sometime after losing he created Root fraction of the Anbu that are loyal only to him. With this he began planning to takeover Konoha himself after his group was order to be disbanded.

As for what Danzo was being here he was interested in the Sakura's condition which cause her to turn completely to stone so that to the world around she appeared as nothing more then solid stone statue through and through. Something like this could prove useful if it could be control and activated at will. Also there was another reason that Danzo had come to visit Sakura this night.

"With you under my control getting the nine tailed demon should be easy as you would be the perfect lure to get him to me. Of course the first thing I would do is get rid of those useless emotion that would simply get in the way of making you as useful to me as possible" Danzo thought to himself out loud as he then left to let his Root member pick her up.

He was one of the oldest members of Konoha after all so he could not lug around the statue of twelve year old and sneak back out of here at the same time without risking getting caught or hurting his back in the process.

Though what Danzo did not know was that he was not the only one that had been in the room since shortly after the Hokage and the others left.

That person that managed to remain hidden all this time was would startling surprising if anyone was there to see just who managed to fool everyone into not noticing that they were even there.

"Like I am going to let something like that happen to Sakura-chan" the person said as it was none other then Naruto Uzumaki.

Though how did someone that wears a bright orange jumpsuit and considered one the biggest loud mouth of his graduating class manage to fool an elder like Danzo or even sneak into the room where Sakura was being kept. It was really simply as Naruto was good at hiding when he wanted to otherwise how else would you explain how he managed to paint the faces of the four Hokage on his own without anyone noticing until he was done then managing to escape from getting caught until he revealed himself. Then there was how he even got to the room where the Forbidden Scroll was stored in order to steal it in the first place. As the scroll had more then just the Kage Bunshin so it would not be kept somewhere that anyone could easily get to. Also Naruto's title of 'Konoha's number one ninja at surprising people' was not something just for show as he truly did live up that title even before it was Kakashi had given it to him during their mission in the Land of Waves.

Thus know that Danzo's plan he decided that Sakura could not stay here anymore thus he would be taking somewhere that he felt was more safe instead however what neither Naruto or Danzo knew was that their was third party presence in the room in the form of well hidden seal that allow the third party to hear everything that went on in the room.
