Chapter 6
Deidara was getting pissed off. The pale guy with the scroll was throwing birds at his birds, exploding them in mid-air. While the blonde Akatsuki member admired the art, he was mostly offended at his art being copied by some nobody.
And if that wasn't enough, Kakashi was able to make swirls to an unknown location around him. He had been able to dodge one, but his art didn't. Also, Deidara found it funny how the jinchuriki screaming for his friend was only chasing him while his comrades were doing the heavy lifting. Maybe Deidara had finally found the weakest jinchuriki? That means that the other Akatsuki members wouldn't be impressed with his capture. How frustrating.
Suddenly, the wind began to pick up around the clay bird and cherry blossoms danced around, forming into Sakura. "Hey!" The male criminal yelled. "Just because you have some fancy shmancy transportation technique, doesn't mean you get to stand on my art!"
Sakura gave him a dirty look. "We're going down. I need you to stall the jonin and extra because I want to fight the jinchuriki."
"No way!" He yelled. "I get the jinchuriki."
"No, you don't." The look she gave him... Let's just say that if Deidara wasn't a criminal, he would've handed over all of his ryo. "I get Naruto." She jumped off the bird and landed onto the ground gracefully.
"S..." Naruto started as he stared at his friend. Kakashi stood next to him while the replacement was standing a bit further back. Sakura observed that her former teammate was displaying his emotion outwardly but her former sensei only looked at her as an enemy.
"I'm guessing you guys have some questions." The pinkette smirked. "Well, shoot." No one said anything. They only stood, Naruto was probably still shocked, the extra seemed like he wasn't a talker and the teacher was probably waiting for the right time to strike. "Okay, I'll just start with what happened on that mission." Sakura began telling the story. "So, we went to a town for a mission, blah blah blah, and the intel was wrong. We got chased by bandits, I lost my arm and eyes. We got trapped in a dome, the so-called 'genius' Neji Hyuuga - who you may want to get help for by the way - couldn't figure out what to do. So, I saved them and died."
"But you didn't..." Her former teammate replied.
"Yes. I did." Sakura said. "However, I was reborn. Not exactly but whatever. Then, I received some... gifts, shall we call them, and I found my purpose in life. And about these gifts..." The cherry blossom flashed her Sharingan on. This caused for some attention on her eyes. "Pretty?" She asked. "Or do you prefer...?" She raised her arm and wood slowly grew out of the ground. "You know, I don't know which I like best. But I know which one I'm going to kill you with..." The last bit was directed at Kakashi, as she looked right at him. "Just hear the news. Kakashi of the Sharingan killed by Sakura of the Sharingan."
"Why did you not come back?" Naruto asked, desperately trying to thaw the ice Sakura had etched onto her face. "We were so depressed after you..." He trailed off.
"Ha!" The pinkette laughed. "I assume they never told you, but the rest of the Konoha Twelve (excluding Ino) hated me." She began to histerically laugh now. "I mean, they talked shit behind my back and when it came to face to face, they were as silent as the replacement." Sakura waved at Sai. "Nice to meet you, by the way." She continued. "And don't get me started on Team Seven..." The kunoichi scoffed. "Sasuke's a bastard who thinks Orochimaru can teach him to kill Itachi - who is much better looking (just thought I should throw that in there). And you two are trying to save a dead jinchuriki. Like, come on, Naruto, just give yourself up. We can take the Kyuubi out of you. Granted you'll die but... minor." She smiled wickedly.
"Sakura-chan!" The jinchuriki yelled. "I don't understand... Why? Why would you join the Akatsuki?"
The rogue narrowed her eyes at her former teammate. "Because they offered me what you couldn't. They gave me what you didn't!" She felt herself heat up and began counting down from 10 in her head. "You... All you motherfuckers in Konoha abandoned me. So, I left." In a quick movement, Sakura appeared right behind Naruto using her transportation technique. "And - one day - I'll return. And burn Konoha to the fucking ground!"
She punched.
He flew.
The jonin reacted quickly. Forming many hand signs in a second, a fireball was blasted at Sakura. The pinkette simply teleported away.
Naruto had jumped back, recovering from the blow to his back though, not completely. She attacked me without a second thought... He stared at his former friend and pondered about how he could save her.
"Fuck you, Sakura-bitch!" Deidara yelled and threw a barrage or clay birds down to the battlefield, exploding them all.
"Stay out of this!" Sakura growled, furiously. Creating a wooden shield, she protected them all. Through the use of genjutsu, she put her stupid fellow Akatsuki member to sleep. He and his clay bird dropped to the ground. Suddenly, Sai had appeared behind the cherry blossom and swiped at her with his blade. She swiftly countered with her right dagger, blocking the attack. Eye to eye with this percular pale boy, Sakura used the same genjutsu she did on Deidara to him. Sai dropped to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
"Naruto, Kakashi-sensei." Sakura said. "It's just us now. Get ready to die." Forming a giant wood pillar to boost herself up into the air, Sakura looked at the puny bodies of her former teammates below. She threw wood pillar after wood pillar at them to which they dodged them all but barely. Eventually, Sakura began throwing boulders at them, however Naruto was using clones to fool her and to Kakashi, this wasn't much of a challenge.
It was annoying her. She didn't really know what 'it' was but she did know she was annoyed. No. It wasn't because she had seen her former team. It wasn't because they replaced her so easily. No, it wasn't because they claimed to be upset even though they treated her like crap.
Fuck. She was mad.
In pure rage, Sakura jumped off of the pillar and slammed her chakra infused right-hand onto the ground. Due to the cells from the God of Shinobi, Sakura's punch was unrealisticly powerful.
A colossal cloud of earth appeared as soon as the pinkette punched the ground. Once the cloud cleared up, Sakura realised that she was alone on the battlefield. How ironic. Seriously, though? Where had they gone? She couldn't sense them. Scratching her head, Sakura dreaded the moment that Deidara would wake up. He was gonna piss her off about letting Naruto get away. Fuck. Screw Deidara. Madara was going to be pissed at her. Failure is not tolerated.
Suddenly, a swirl appeared behind Sakura and she jumped away quickly. From out of the perculiar distortion, Kakashi and Naruto jumped out. "Kamui." Sakura whispered. But, it couldn't be. That's Madara-sensei's ability. They... both have one eye... No way.
"Sakura Haruno." The jonin said. "You're coming with us. Comply or we'll need to use force."
"No. Naruto's coming with me. Sorry, sensei, but you need to die here." The cherry blossom took out her daggers. "And I'll take your sharingan as a reward." The former teacher and pupil lunged for each other.
"Sensei's going to train with me. I'm so happy."
The Akatsuki member blinked. Who's there?
"He usually never has time." The voice sounds so familar... "I need to get stronger to bring Sasuke-kun back with Naruto."
"Arghh!" Sakura cried once Kakashi struck a blow to her stomach. She tumbled backwards, landing onto the ground. Swiftly, she stood back up. Don't lose your cool, Sakura.
Infusing chakra into her fist, she slammed her hand to the ground. The earth crumbled towards her former sensei and he jumped out of the way. Sakura wanted to make it hard for them to dodge.
Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence.
A forest was made just from the pinkette's jutsu. Wide-eyed and alert, Naruto began dodging the branches that seemed to be attacking him. One caught his foot and tripped him up, and multiple more began to wrap aroumd him. In a quick movement, Kakashi used a lightning attack to destroy the branches around his student. The two Leaf ninja began making their way to the nearest exit.
Not yet. Fire Style: Flame Bombs.
The Akatsuki member set fire to her forest and it quickly spread. Her former teammates found it difficult to run and she enjoyed the sight of watching the panic in their eyes. Eventually, the two made it out and Sakura pouted at the outcome. The length of this fight annoyed her. Shouldn't she have caught them by now?
"I just want to protect them." She heard the voice say in her head.
"No, I want to kill them." She said.
This whole predicament... The situation... It was all just... annoying.
Sakura felt mad. Why couldn't ANYTHING go her way?! Sasuke-kun left, Naruto left, Kakashi-sensei left, they all left!
Finding this new rage, Sakura activated her Sharingan and immediately began charging at the remains of Team Seven. They were shocked at her sudden attack but dodged nonetheless, just avoiding the rubble from her attack. However, they couldn't avoid a wood block being striked at both of their chests.
Suddenly, a Kamui swirl appeared and Sakura found herself getting sucked into it. Cursing herself for falling for such a stupid trick, the cherry blossom waited for what would end up on the other side.
Once again, Sakura found herself in that same bedroom she was in months ago. This only meant that it was Madara who used the Kamui on her. Fair enough, he was standing on the other side of the room.
"Why did you do that?" Sakura began. "I was going to capture a jinchuriki."
"I can sense your thoughts, Sakura. I could see what you were thinking." Madara replied, walking over to her. The cherry blossom did not expect the slap to her face, but once she felt it, she stopped the urge to hit back - knowing she would lose. "You don't fight when you are that angry. Imagine if you killed Naruto."
"Sorry..." The pinkette muttered, feeling bad. Feeling a sudden sting at her eyes, Sakura pushed back the sense of tears. No, I don't do that anymore.
She felt two arms wrap around her and she leaned into the comfort of her sensei. Yes, this was the only person who cared about her.
