Hiruzen's pipe fell out of his mouth at the news he was just given he never thought it would happen to her of all people she needed to be saved now "Get all the anbu that are in the village!" he ordered making the ninja that reported what happen jump and nod
"Yes sir!" the ninja left
Hiruzen started pacing back and forth forgetting his pipe that lay on the floor
"This can't be happening!"
{+}
Hinata walked through the village alone sighing she had nothing better to do today no mission no team anymore just nothing
"Hinata!" the said girl turned to see Kakashi looking more pale than ever
"What is it Kakashi?" she asked curious to see what he wanted
Kakashi looked at her in fear
"It's Sakura…"
Hinata balled her fist in anger at the name
"I don't want to hear it." She stated glaring at him
Kakashi was a taken back of how she was acting about Sakura
"Please-"
"No!" Hinata hissed not wanting to hear what he had to say about her
Kakashi clenched his fist
"You don't even know what happened." He stated
Hinata rolled her eyes
"Just leave Kakashi."
Kakashi didn't speak after that and left
{+}
Hiruzen stared at all the anbu on the roof of the hokage tower "this is an emergency! We have a missing konoha ninja not just any she is the captain on squad 1! She holds information that if it got out we all will be doomed! Her name is Sakura Haruno! We search now!" the third hokage ordered
All the anbu left except one
"Kakashi leave you know who did this." Hiruzen said looking at him
Kakashi took of his mask
Hiruzen sighed while looking down at the village
"Find her Kakashi….before it's to late." He muttered
{+}
Emerald eyes slowly open to stare in the darkness of the room "W-where am i?" the person muttered trying to rub their eyes but realizing they can't when they feel metal cuffs on their wrist pinning them to the wall "Hello? Anybody!?" no answer
'Inner! Neko!' Sakura screamed in her head hoping to get a response but to her fear no reply
Suddenly the light to her room was turned on showing Sakura to where she was it was a small room the walls were white and so was the floor and ceiling she looked up to her hands to see they were chained to the wall
Sakura tried to concentrate chakra to her hands but she couldn't feel her chakra so she fell limp in the room her body still sore from the fight in the forest of death
"You're awake Sakura Haruno." A voice stated when she heard the door open
Sakura looked up to only have her eyes widen in fury at the man before her
"Danzo!" she hissed venom in every word in his name
Danzo just smirked at her as his men walked in
"Sakura haruno captain of squad one." He stated "Vessel of the ten tails Neko also from the future." He smirked bigger as her eyes widen
Sakura grits her teeth at Danzo
"You won't get anything!"
Danzo turned around ready to walk out
"You know what to do." Danzo said leaving the room
Sakura stared at Danzo's lackeys as they pull a cart over to let her see all the weapons they have she watched as they filled a syringe with a clear liquid The one with a syringe walked over to her as she struggled weakly in the person's grasp as they stuck the needle in her arm and pushing the liquid in her system
Sakura gasped in pain as she was overcome with a searing pain going throughout her whole body "You see Haruno-san the clear liquid I put in you blocks off all contact with your chakra also your contact with your beast even though this room blocks off chakra but we have to take precautions even more."
Sakura gasped as her body became even more sensitive
"It also keeps the person awake no matter how badly the body wants to give out because of how much pain there is. Now shall we begin?"
{+}
Kakashi jumped from roof to roof trying to figure out where Sakura was "Where Is she!?" he asked himself jumping down to the forest outside of konoha he had to find her!
'Sakura…' Kakashi thought worrying more than ever right now
"Kakashi."
Kakashi shook his head he could hear her voice now in his state right now "Where would they hide her? Danzo knows we know about him now so it won't be in one of the cells." He whispered growing desperate he needed to find roots hideout he needed to remember where it is Kakashi halted in his steps he needed Hinata's help now he needed to get to her now even though his first try was a failure he needed to try again
Kakashi ran to where the hyuga complex is
{+}
Sakura yelled in pain when she felt her bone crack in her right arm by them pulling it on her back
"Are you going to tell us or not?" the one named Kana said
Sakura looked up at her
"How can you be like this?" Sakura asked
Kana backhanded Sakura making her bite her lip to where blood trailed down her jaw "I am lord Danzo's top torture interrogator so you will break!" Kana stated seething at Sakura
Sakura just looked up at her spitting out blood at her but that only resulted in Sakura getting kneed in her stomach
Kana just turned around to get more torture supplies
Sakura looked down she's been trying to call out to Inner and Neko but she just couldn't reach them
"This will do." She heard kana say as she turned to look at Sakura she had a kunai in hand dipped in some purple goo
"That's poison." Sakura stated staring at the weapon
Kana smirked
"Yes." She answered as she quickly stabbed sakura in the shoulder leaving the kunai in there to let Sakura feel the pain in every second
Sakura was in excruciating pain where the kunai was placed she couldn't feel anything but pain in her body her breathing was becoming lagged Kana grinned as she grabbed a hold of Sakura's throat and punched her in the face making her eye be swollen
"Speak! What happens in the future what can Danzo-sama do to be the most powerful ninja alive!" Kana demanded
Sakura smirked even if she is in so much pain
"Nothing." That earned a kick in the stomach breaking three ribs
{+}
Hinata sighed when she felt Kakashi's chakra signal nearing the Hyuga complex "What now?" she muttered rolling her eyes shouldn't he be with sakura or something sense she was in the hospital again
Hinata pulled one of her two tantos out to look at it
"Hinata!" Kakashi called appearing behind her
"What Kakashi like I said before leave if it's about Sakura." Hinata stated glaring at the tanto
Kakashi clenched his fist
"Fucking listen now!" he spat angrily shocking Hinata causing her to look at Kakashi "We need your help Sakura has been kidnapped by Danzo and we don't know where she is we have to find her before it's too late!"
Hinata dropped the tanto she had in her hand to shocked to move or blink
"She was kidnapped last night we just found out at sun rise and it's already noon we don't have much time they could unleash the beast on the village." Kakashi said in a hurry
Hinata shook as memories flooded her mind
Hinata watched as Sakura laughed with her cousin
"Sakura-chan has to choose who she wants to be on her squad I hope she chooses me." Hinata muttered as she watched Sakura and Neji start to spar
"Hinata-chan!" a voice behind her called
Hinata looked to see her true love Naruto run to her smiling
"Yes Naruto-kun?"
He panted smiling at her
"You won't believe what I heard!"
Hinata raised an eyebrow telling him to continue
"Don't tell Sakura-chan I told you she'll kick my ass but she is choosing you to be on her team." Naruto whispered to her
Hinata couldn't help but smile
Hinatas eyes narrow
"Let's save her now." Hinata said picking up the tanto her eyes slowly turning into the byakugan
{+}
Sakura just wanted to pass out the pain was becoming unbearable but she couldn't break "You know this all can end if you just tell me all you know." Kana stated putting some other liquid in the syringe
Sakura looked at the liquid she can't take any more of the pain her right arm is fractured she has three broken ribs her left eye is swollen her lip is busted she has scratches littering her whole body the kunai is still in her shoulder the poison was still in her system making her feel pain even more
"You see this is another poison that works your senses into overdrive so the littlest touch will be nothing but pain for you." Kana said turning to sakura to see her horrified face
Sakura didn't know what to do she kept trying to call on her chakra or nekos power but she couldn't reach it she kept pulling on the chains trying to break free but was failing horrible but that's when she felt it slightly she felt hinata put her chakra in the tanto telling her where she is
'She's close!' Sakura thought as she concentrated on that pull of the tanto with her chakra 'Just please let me be able to leak at least a little chakra out for them to catch it in time.' Sakura closed her eyes trying to block out the world around her as she concentrated she could feel her chakra she just needed to break it free Sakura squinted her eyes pulling on it more that's when she let loose her chakra giving out enough for her team to feel it but it quickly vanished when the needle was jammed in her side releasing the liquid in her making her scream and cough up blood
"You bitch I felt your chakra!" Kana hissed in anger ripping the syringe out and throwing it to the other side of the room "It's obvious you won't break so we will go to our last resort ." Kana said as she walked to the door and poked her head out to say something to the guard outside the room
Sakura tried pulling at her chakra again she had to escape now!
{+}
Hinata and Kakashi landed on the ground on the forest
"I know a way we can find her…well it's worth a shot." Hinata said pulling out one of her tantos "This tanto Sakura put her chakra in it she said if I put some of mine in it she will automatically know where I am maybe the same thing will happen if I do it to so I know where she is." Kakashi said nothing as Hinata closed her eyes and her hands glowed blue when she held the tanto it took a few minutes they were about to give up on this working but then in a split second they both sensed Sakura's chakra long enough to catch on to where she is
"She's southwest of konoha far in the forest it's probably an underground base!" Hinata said in a rush as she put the tanto away
Kakashi nodded as he summoned his ninja dogs giving them orders to go the hokage and tell the other anbu's to where Sakura is
"We need to go now kakashi Sakura's chakra was very weak she won't hold on much longer!" Hinata stated running to the southwest of konoha's forest her eyes trained on the ground
{+}
Sakura fell on the ground in the room she was kept they unlocked her wrist letting her fall to the ground knowing she is too weak to fight her wrist were red and bruised they had dried blood on them from her fighting it her skin dug at the cuffs while fighting "You know what to do you three." Kana said walking out of the room it wasn't her job to extract the beast it was her job to torture
Sakura looked up at the door Kana walked out of Sakura swore if she made it out of this they will fight and one of them will die "Ready men?" the leader said to his men they were all aligned up around her performing a hand sign
"Hai!" but before they can do anything there was an explosion outside of the base and sakura felt it numerous chakra signals and five of them belonged to her friends Kakashi, Yamato, Yugao, the third hokage and…Hinata "We need to do this fast!" the leader said as they all started performing hand signs that's when Sakura felt it a pull on her seal on her stomach it was just so much pain she could hear a howl in the back of her mind that sounded like neko black chakra started being forcefully pulled out of her by the seal it was engulfing her body in black chakra she was screaming for the pain and for neko
{+}
Hinata was running through the underground base with Yamato, Kakashi, and Yugao they needed to find her hinata was looking everywhere with her eyes that's when they all sensed it a demonic power Hinata and Yugao knew all too well but it was different to hinata it wasn't being let out freely because you would just sense the power and killing instinct but it felt painful and forced that's when Hinata knew what was happening her eyes grew in terror
"Sakura!" she yelled running faster to the power just a couple of seconds she'll be there
Kakashi was close to tears he hated to admit this but these feeling he feels he shouldn't feel them at all for his student!
Hinata skidded to a stop in front of a room they felt the chakra and barged in only to see what scared her and Yugao the most Sakura was on the ground with three guys surrounding her as black chakra was engulfing her
Hinata quickly slammed into one of them with her palm disrupting their chakra and blocking it off at the same time Yugao stabbed one with her sword making them fall back losing concentration make the chakra stop flowing and disappearing around Sakura at that time she just gasped in pain as the three ninja were backed into a wall with the four
"You hurt her and now you must suffer." Kakashi growled out as you could hear birds chirping and one of them scream as Kakashi used chidori on them
Hinata hit a vital point on the other one easily killing them in a second and then yugao stabbed the other one in the heart sense he was already on the ground bleeding from the other stab wound she inflicted on him yamato was just by Sakura side calling out to her but she wasn't replying
"Guys she's not replying and her eyes are open!" Yamato yelled alerting them of the situation
Hinatas heart dropped they can't be late just no…
Kakashi slowly walked up to her to turn her on her back to see the damage they did and they all winced at it "Sakura…please wake up….please I can't fail…not again first with Obito then Rin just not you please!" he begged hugging her to his chest as he shook
Hinatas eyes sadden she felt like it was her fault if only she listened to Kakashi earlier they would have found her faster before she was beaten up this badly before they almost unleashed neko Hinata closed her eyes as tears fell
Kakashi placed her head on his lap as he closed her eyes he couldn't take looking at her that way
Yugao and Yamato look at the three in pity they never really seen Kakashi like this that's when they both realized his feelings for Sakura and felt even more pity for him
Kakashi started screaming out his sorrow a very unlike Kakashi thing to do
Hinata fell to her knees she started punching the ground not caring her knuckles were bleeding she just wanted the pain to leave
Kakashi and Hinata were too busy suffering to notice the hokage walk in
{+}
Hiruzen walked into the room he heard the screaming coming from he just knew that was the room sakura had to be in he was about to ask Sakura's condition when he saw the mess the room had three dead bodies on the ground on the walls were blood splatters the one wall that had the chains on it had the most blood splatter on it the chains had dried blood on it he then looked to the center of the room which made his heart shatter there was Hinata and Kakashi both kneeled on the ground Sakura head was resting on Kakashi's lap tears were flowing down Hinata's face as she punched the floor and Kakashi's also while his screams filled the room
Hiruzen just wanted to walk out of the room to suffer alone but two of his villages people needed comfort he didn't even pay attention to the other two in the room just those three he walked up to them and squatted down placing his hands on Kakashi's and Hinata's shoulder gaining their attention and making Kakashi's screams stop
"I know this is hard to stand the loss of someone close to you it's the most painful thing you can bear and you know this Kakashi and Hinata you both suffered this all you can do is mourn and move forward in life my child's." Hiruzen said looking at Sakuras face
Kakashi and Hinata shook still
Hiruzen stood up
"I will arrange everything my children." Hiruzen then walked out of the room and turning down the hall which he stopped and let the tears fall finally
{+}
Kakashi shook his head he didn't even listen to the thirds words he just kept crying as he looked down at sakura "Please I love you….." he confessed shocking Hinata at his words to her friend but that's when they hear coughing come from her best friend
"Sakura!" they all yell
Sakura slowly opened her eyes to stare in Kakashi's mismatched ones she slowly smiled even though her body was in pain by being touch by Kakashi "I….heard…what y-you…said…" she gasped out coughing up blood making everyone worry
"Stop talking!" Hinata yelled making Sakura look at her
"Hinata…I thought you'll never forgive me…" Sakura forced out breathing heavily
"You idiot of course I will what I said…I didn't mean it at all I still want to be a part of the team that was my anger talking." Hinata said moving over to Sakura and placing her hands on the stab wound on Sakura's shoulder her hands glowing green
Sakura relaxed under the touch
"K-kakashi…let's go on a date after the chunin exams…." Sakura said smiling at him
Kakashi stared in shock and nodded his head
"Good now let me sleep this pain off I'm sure Hinata can deal with the rest…" she said drifting off to sleep
Kakashi looked at Hinata
"What's her condition?" he asked
Hinata looked up at him knowing he won't like it
"They scrambled her chakra system to where she can't reach it or nekos chakra it was just pure luck she was able to get it but it's completely cut off from her and she has three broken ribs luckily it didn't puncture her lung the stab wound on her shoulder has poison around it the poison is already in her system I need to extract it from her and I feel another poison in her system but I don't know what it is but I'll try to get that also she also has a fractured arm." Hinata explained feeling even more guilty at how badly Sakura was beaten by them
Kakashi nodded
"We need to get her to the hospital."
{+}
Sakura was placed on the hospital bed by Kakashi and Hinata quickly got to work she was hovering over Sakura's form
"Get me a wet washcloth and a hot bowl of water and make sure it's a lot of water I'm going to do something Sakura taught me when she was teaching me medical ninjutsu Yugao I need you to do this all the boys leave no arguments!" Hinata ordered as she ushered Yamato and Kakashi out of the room
Hinata then ripped what was left of her shirt open and cut open her side when she saw the bowl of water get to her "This is going to be awhile Yugao." Hinata said as she put her hands over the bowl of water making sure her chakra is equal in both hands so she can control the water in her hands to be able to hover it over Sakura's opened wound she made to get the poison out of her
Hinata concentrated on the open cut she made making sure no blood got out and locating the poison in her system she felt it was strange the poison in Sakura's system something she really never faced a poison this strong she would have if she stayed with Sakura in the medical tents in her time but she stayed on the front lines
Yugao just stayed in the back watching hinata concentrate on the water over Sakura's body then suddenly she started seeing a purplish substance start to flow out of Sakura's body that's when Sakura's body started to spasm "Yugao grab her!" Hinata ordered trying t not drop all she's doing to just freak out
Yugao ran over to them and pressed sakura down trying to stop the spasm
Hinata pulled her hands back with the now purple water and put it in the bowl
'Almost there…' Hinata thought
{+}
Kakashi paced outside the room glaring at anything or anyone walking by him he was just too worried about Sakura more than anything right now
Yamato watched Kakashi as mixed emotions were going through his head he just found out it was Hinata Hyuga this entire time he just never said anything because of all the stuff that has been happening he felt it was not his business or anything
Kakashi punched the wall next to the door he refused to go to the waiting room
"Kakashi she'll be alright." Yamato said while placing his hand on Kakashi's shoulder
Kakashi looked at him
"How can you be so sure yamato? She can die." Kakashi muttered afraid of it happening and losing her
Yamato didn't know what to say now he knew Kakashi will keep coming up with counters with his words
{+}
Sakura sat in a field of flowers she didn't know why she was here but she felt at peace
"It's nice to know you love it here." A voice said from behind
Sakura turned her head to look and seen inner
"Inner what happening? Why did I appear here and not with neko? I'm confused what's going on?" Sakura asked worried
Inner stiffened at the questions
"You remember, right? All the pain and suffering we went through for almost a whole day." Inner said sitting down next to her watching for her reaction
Sakura's eyes widen remembering the pain she went through and nekos scream of pain "How's neko!? Please she has to be alright they almost got her out!" she yelled scared for neko now
Inner frowned
"I don't know I haven't had contact with her even when I called out to her I was stuck here." Inner explained her eyes showing worry for neko
"B-but that's impossible she should of answered to you…" Sakura said her bangs covering her eyes
Inner nods
"She should of but she didn't I heard your yell for us I tried talking to you but it never got through to you." Inner stated
Sakura just froze realizing she might have no contact with Neko anymore
"I might not have contact with Neko for awhile." Sakura whispered
Inner nods and looks up into the sky
"It seems like there calling you…after all you have been close to death and been passed out for a week and the finals are in three." Inner said laughing nervously
Sakura's eyes widen
"What!?"
{+}
Kakashi blinked trying to get the tiredness out of his eyes so they don't close he's been at Sakuras bed for a week now he barely ate all week after Hinata finished healing her and running test on her systems which thankfully Sakura can reach her chakra again but Hinata also felt something still blocking nekos power she has a feeling it doesn't have to do with Danzo
Kakashi looked at his hand it was holding Sakura's hand
"Sakura…please…wake up soon.." Kakashi said bringing her hand up with his hand
"Kakashi go get some rest." A voice said from the door
Kakashi looked up his eyes widen at who he least expects to come back to konoha "Tsunade-sama!" Kakashi yelled as he watched Tsunade walk over to Sakura placing her hand on Sakura's forehead her hand glowed green
Kakashi waited a few moments silently waiting to see Sakura's eyes open Kakashi felt a squeeze on his hand come from Sakura
"Sakura!" he yelled relieved that she woke up
Sakura's eyes open slightly she looked at Kakashi then Tsunade her eyes widen
"T-tsunade-sama.." she coughed up blood speaking
Tsunade froze when she saw the blood and stumbled back trying to get away from the blood
"There you're awake your pills are next to your bed t-take them." Tsunade walked out of the room trying to calm down
Kakashi helped Sakura sit up and grabbed two pills out and gave them to Sakura "Thanks." Sakura gulped them down her chest feeling better and no longer in pain she sighed sadly
Kakashi sat in his chair feeling the awkward silence
"What's my condition?" Sakura asked looking at him giving him a pain filled smile
Kakashi coughed to clear his voice
"When we brought you here Hinata was the one who healed you after she was done healing every broken bone they caused they fractured your arm and cracked your ribs one was close to puncturing your lung and there was poison that they had in you luckily we caught it and then there was another liquid in your system it showed up on your blood test Hinata was able to get it out you have been asleep for a week now." He said to her
Sakura nods her fist clenched how can she get stronger if she failed so badly the exams were soon and she will need more time to heal then three weeks
"My chakra…" Sakura muttered not feeling nekos
Kakashi looked at her balled fist
"It's going to take a while to gain it all back." Kakashi said putting his hands on hers
Sakuras eyes widen
"I don't have that time the chunin exams!" Sakura stated
Kakashi sighed
"You can't fight in this condition." He said sternly
Sakura glared
"Get Tsunade in here I want her to heal all my bruises and cuts so I can get these bandages off…I will start recovering now." Sakura stated as she watched Kakashi leave
Sakura punched her bed as she let the tears fall silently how could this happen to her why did this have to happen 'Neko?' Sakura called out but to her displeasure no answer 'Neko! Answer me please!' Sakura thought harder her whole-body shaking
"No..." Sakura whispered pulling the gown up to show the seal it kept fading and slowly disappearing but some of the seal was gone
Sakura got out of the bed but fell to the floor her legs still weak "Come on get up!" Sakura hissed pushing herself up with her hands
"Sakura!" she heard Kakashi and Tsunade yell when they see her trying to walk and having a hard time
Sakura looked at them both with tears in her eyes
"Please.….heal me I can't sense neko or feel her…" Sakura said shaking
"Neko?"
"The ten tails." A voice said from behind
They all look to see Hinata there with a blank face "Neko the ten tails is in Sakura." Hinata said walking to Sakura to help her on the bed she then grabbed Sakura's hand
Tsunade placed her hands over the bandages healing what they were covering
Sakura sighed as she was feeling slightly better now
Hinata rubed Sakura's back to calm her down
Sakura flinched at her touch
"The seal its weakened." Sakura said to hinata
Hinata nods
"Look away Kakashi." Hinata ordered making sure he does when she lifts the gown up showing the seal that both Hinata and Sakura knew shouldn't be visible at this point
Tsunade stopped healing sakura and started undoing the bandages when Hinata drops the gown "There your healed completely now." Tsunade said looking like she had something else to say
Sakura sighed
"There's more isn't there Tsunade?" Sakura questioned moving her arms hearing her joints pop making her feel better "Is it true what the old man said are you from the future and are my apprentice?" she asked
Sakura smiled sadly and got off the bed and walked to her pile of clothes were her pouch is and reached in her pouch to pull something out she then walked back to Tsunade and let her see the locket
Tsunade opened the locket to see her and Sakura smiling
"It's true." Tsunade said looking at Sakura
Kakashi just smiled at Sakura as he finally sees her smile
Sakura just stood there smiling at her
Tsunade gave the necklace back
"So you are my student." She said nodding
Sakura walked to her clothes
"I need to change leave." Sakura said making everyone leave
{+}
Tsunade walked to the hokage office and without knocking she walked in and shut the door "How is this even possible now? Danzo will not rest now!" Tsunade yelled
Hiruzen sighed as he put his pipe down
"I know Tsunade that's why we keep a closer eye on him from now on and make sure his people are watched." Hiruzen said to tsunade
Tsunade looked at Shizune who was holding tonton
"Tsunade-sama what is your plan?" Shizune asked
Tsunade sighed feeling a headache coming
"I'll stay in the village old man but no way in hell am I taking your position after the chunin exam that's a fool's job and I am no fool."
Hiruzen nods sighing
"I understand."
{+}
Sakura flattened out her hair as she put her konoha protector on her forehead making sure everything was right her body was sore there was scars left over but her body healed the week she was out of it and with Hinata and Tsunade she was all healed she just needed rest
"You ready?" a voice said behind her
Sakura smiled
"let's go Hinata." Sakura said walking out the door with her
Hinata smiled at Sakura happy that she was better now and that neko wasn't on her mind right now
"So how's Naruto and everyone?" Sakura asked as she was signing the release form
Hinata looked at her
"There fine they think you left with a trainer Kakashi assigned to you so they don't know you were kidnapped." Hinata said as they walk out the hospital doors
Sakura nods to that
"That's good I guess so by the way who am I fighting?" Sakura asked
Hinata laughed
"You're looking at her." Hinata said smirking
Sakura's eyes widen but she then smirked
"This will be fun no hesitating go all out use everything you have." Sakura said already excited for the fight
"Sakura." A voice said behind her she turned to see Kakashi
Sakura smiled at him
"Yes Kakashi?"
He smiled at her happy to see her better
"I'm going to train you." He stated at her shocked expression
"But you're supposed to train Sasuke chidori." Sakura said to him
Kakashi gave her his one eyes smile "A clone is so we will leave tomorrow so be ready so start resting now I'll get you in the morning." He said disappearing
Sakura smiled making Hinata smirk
"Have fun." She chuckled walking away giving her a knowing look
Sakura blushed
"Kakashi and I alone….what could happen?" she nervously laughed
