Why?
Why!
Why!? Would she admit she had feelings for him! Sakura punched the punching bag hard.
Why would she admit she was falling in love with him! She punched it even harder making the bag swing back harshly
Why would she let him in! With one last punch the punching bag flew on the metal hook and landed against the wall of the gym with a loud thud.
She stood in her position for quite some time breathing heavily, eyes darted to the back wall menacingly 'I have to end this. These feelings can't continue.. I don't want to have to kill him...I need to leave'
Sakura went into the locker room to clean herself up, walking out with a pair of matching pair of grey Nike compression leggins and grey sports bra, with grey and white roshe's. Her hair loose and freshly combed after her shower. It's still pretty early only 5:00am so luckily no one was up...or so she thought.
Opening the door to her room and making her way to the bedroom, she searched through her closet for a duffle bag successfully finding it stuffing all sorts of clothes and other necessities in it. 'I can't stay. It pains me to hurt the people who look out for me, but it'll kill me to go through with this mission'. The only thing major thing floating through her mind was Orchimaru, and what she would do she returned with a failed mission status.
Sakura pressed the elevator button
Ding*
She got on not paying attention to who else was in there.
"Sakura-Chan?" Sakura eyes looked up to come face to face with those big innocent cerulean eyes "N-naruto why are you up so early?" Naruto lightly chuckled "I just came back from a late night mission and was going to give a report to Tsunade. Why are you up so early?". Sakura couldn't find it in her heart to look at Naruto's face so she focused her attention to the doors of the elevator. "Oh I almost forgot, here you go" before she could speak Naruto dug into his pocket and pulled out her Rose gold iPhone 8 Plus "you left it on the table the other day" Sakura grabbed the phone from his hand and nodded.
Thankfully the bell to the elevator rang "I'm sorry Naruto I can't stay. I can't go through with why I'm really here. I'm tired of hurting people I care for" she looked back at him, a visible tear falling down her face "I'm so sorry". She didn't even know what she was really apologizing for but it felt like the right time to get it out. Sakura walked out not looking back again, by the time Naruto decided to walk up to the her the elevator doors closed.
Quickly, Naruto pressed the top floor button on the elevator, repeatedly as if the elevator doors would close faster if he did "Come on come on" he whispered, tapping his hand on his thigh impatiently as elevator began to make its way up to the 70th floor.
Not caring who else was in the room Naruto bust through Tsunade's office door.
"Tsunade-obaasan!" Naruto yelled and was very fortuitous that everyone else was in the room as well.
"Naruto I'm glad you're back, how'd the mission go?"
"Fine, it was fine, anyways I have to tell you something!" He screamed.
"Relax dobe and tell us what it is you have to say" Sasuke said crossing his arms.
"It's about Sakura-chan,s-she left" Naruto first looked at Ino and the girls having realized they didn't want to accept the truth that their best friend just got up and left "Naruto I think your exaggerating, she probably just went for a walk or something"Ino sounded as if she was trying to make herself believe what she had just said.
"Yeah Sakura-chan loves to go out for a jog around the park at this time" Hinata chimed in.
"Besides I'm sure if she was really leaving she would tell us right?" Tenten looked at the girls and they nodded.
"No this isn't like that, she didn't even tell me where she was going, she said she couldn't stay here anymore...I seen a tear roll down her eye, she said she was tired of hurting people who cared for her" Naruto then looked at Sasuke to see he was glaring intensely at him "So you didn't think to stop her." He said darkly "Why the fuck would you let her go!" He yelled, face turning a little red from anger.
"Sasuke!" Tsunade said with a stern voice. Sasuke looked at her and took a deep breath.
"I have to find her" he said walking towards the door.
"You're not going alone" Naruto said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Oh now you want to help? Maybe if you chased after her instead of fooling around coming up here she would still be with us"
Naruto raised an eyebrow at his bestfriend "If I chased after her? Newsflash teme it's you that should be chasing after her! I love her like a sister and all but it's you that should've been in the elevator not me!"
"Why don't you just shut the fu-"
"Enough!" Tsunade's voice boomed. "Sakura's too valuable to lose. She's proved that within the few months she's been here. I'm assigning all of you to an urgent some what of a rescue mission. I'm giving you guys 38 hours, if you fail to find her during the amount of time I just gave you I'm sending out a group of T.E.A.M. agents to find her instead. Dismissed" they all hurriedly walked out of the office and in the hallway
"What the hell are we just standing here for let's go already!" Naruto started to walk down the hallway again
"Wait dobe. We have to come up with a plan. Our time is limited" Sasuke said glancing at each of them.
"Which is why we need to hurry up, we're wasting our time by standing around"
Sasuke then turned to Naruto "Going in with a plan is better than parading around the streets"
"Atleast when we're parading around the streets we're making progress"
"I agree with Naruto, I don't want to waste anymore time. I just wanna get Sakura back" Hinata said going to stand over by Naruto.
"I would never be able to forgive myself if I let Hinata go through with this and possibly get injured" Neji said walking to Hinata's side.
"N-Neji-san you don't have to do this" Neji smirked "Hey I know" he nudged her shoulder lightly "I want to". She smiled.
"Well I'm playing the smart way about this." Shikamaru stood his ground next to Sasuke.
"Yeah me too" Ino went next to Shikamaru and he smiled in which she returned.
"So that's 3 against 3. Sai, Tenten, Kiba pick your poison" Neji said secretly praying Tenten will join his side. His prayers was answered and she hesitatently walked to Naruto's team.
"I know I'm usually one to go for reckless decisions but.. going the safe way is the safest way to make sure that we get Sakura back safely. Woah I just said the word safe a lot of times, sweet. A-anyways! I'm riding with Sasuke on this one" Kiba stepped up next to Sasuke.
Everyone's eyes went to Sai "I'm tired of being the goody goody, I want to do something I've never done before. I know I'm an agent and everything but I'm tired of going the safe way" Sai walked over to side.
"Hn, then it's all settled. Our top priority is to find Sakura and bring her back. No one stops until she's found..understood?"
They all nodded and went their separate ways. Naruto's team taking the elevator, Sasuke's team taking the stair into the camera room.
With Sasuke's Team
"If we look into the security camera's from outside the building we might get a lead on where Sakura went" Shikamaru began typing over the the front camera of the building.
"Look!" Ino pointed to Camera 6 the west side of the building. She seen Sakura wearing a black pants with designer rips, black heel boots,white T-shirt and black leather jacket. Kiba's eyes followed "Look she's getting into a silver car". Sasuke bent down closer to the screen
"Shikamaru, see if we can get a close up and identify that license plate"
Shikamaru nodded and pressed a couple keys before I digital scanning took place.
"License plate is SNLV-62". Sasuke took a seat next to Shikamaru and typed on the computer next to him "If we can figure what car type it is then we can trace it to the license plate and classified record files"
"Oh that's definitely a Mercedes Benz new 2018 release" Ino said nonchalantly.
"How do you know?" Shikamaru asked interested, Ino smirked "There's a lot of things you would want to know about me Shika-kun" she winked and he lightly blushed and grinned.
"Got it" Sasuke seemed a little weirded out by the owner though. He had very pale skin, almost pure milk white, long oily black hair,green snake like eyes and a menacing smirk upon his face. Sasuke squinted hard at the picture, finally realizing the half snake half human.
"Oruchimaru, that bastard"
"Yikes, why would Sakura be in that dudes car, isn't he like extremely dangerous "Kiba asked disgustedly
"Hn, I'm not to sure but I have a feeling there's more to the story, come on I was able to track down where the car is. We'll use the car as our main resource to find Sakura"
Ino pointed at the location on the top right corner of the screen "Says here that the car GPS is making its way to 135 ave Southwest of Minora road"
"Let's go then".
With Naruto's Team
The group of 5 was practically running out of the lobby, yeah they wanted to find Sakura but they didn't want to be the last one's to find her either.
Naruto pulled out his phone, it was 6:01a.m. "When Sakura left I noticed she was leaving out the west side exit so we should probably ask the receptionist"
"Isn't this receptionist known the be quite a bitch though?"Asked Neji
"Ummm Yeah but rumor has it she has a little crush on someone with long brown hair"Replied Naruto
"And pale lavender eyes" Added Tenten
"And a usually cold but calm attitude" Hinata said placing a hand on Neji's shoulder.
Sai went to sort of a deep thought, "Oh you guys mean Karu right? From the R.A?" Sai asked innocently.
"Uh Yeah Sai must be, because there's no way in hell i'm flirting with her of all peo-"
Neji leaned down on the receptionist desk and sexily put his arm on her files "So uhhh"
"Ami" she replied eagerly
"Ahh of course Ami, so tell me did you see a woman walk by here around 5 a.m. about 5,4, long pink hair,green eyes"
"I'll tell you...if you agree to go on a date with me"
Neji hesitated a little bit, she wasn't that bad looking, he smirked before saying "Deal". Tenten didn't fail to see the smirk that cascaded across Neji's face. Hinata knew how Tenten felt about Neji so she sympathetically rubbed her shoulder. Tenten sent a small smile of appreciation to Hinata.
"I did see a woman that fits your description walk out of here at 5:12. I overheard her repeat a destination when she was on the phone wit someone. If I'm correct she said 135 ave, Southwest of Minora road"
"Are you for real, isn't that like the outskirts of Japan?" Asked Naruto.
Hinata nodded "Yeah that's about 4 hours from here but why would Sakura-chan be going there."
Naruto pondered on the thought as well "Guess we'll find out when we get there, let's go". The started to walk out the west side door.
With Sakura
Can you hurry the fuck up!" Yelled Sakura "Listen I know I'm half snake and whatever but when it's time to go I gotta go!" Oruchimaru Yelled back behind the closed doors. Faint grunting could be heard from outside of the bathroom.
"Are you fucking kidding me! I thought you said you have pee?"Sakura was getting irritated, she knew that her friends would be coming after her, how she would escape them though, that was what she was really worrying about. She couldn't bare to see their faces again. Thinking that she would be able to just go back so easily with them.
Grunt*
*Splash*
*Groan*
"Come on you shitface, we didn't even make it out of Japan yet" She heard a sigh on the other end, when did he start acting like such a child, isn't he supposed to be one of Japan's most deadliest leaders.
"Alright let's go" he exited out of the outside bathroom of the gas station. Sakura looked down and saw tissue sticking to the bottom of his shoe. She grimaced at the sight and inwardly sighed.
Sakura felt a pair of eyes on her and turned to her left to see one of Oruchimaru's henchmen staring at her "Take a picture it'll last longer". He pulled out his phone and she heard a click, rolling her eyes at the man.
Sakura opened the passenger side of the car and got in.She heard multiple loud honks and turned around and saw familiar faces in both cars "Shit" she muttered under her breath "We gotta go hit the gas". "Why?" Oruchimaru turned around and the first person he saw was
Sasuke Uchiha.
"You lying bitch! I thought you killed him" he hissed. Sakura shrugged hitting a pressure point in his neck "I never said I killed him" she pushed him out of the car and got in the drivers seat, speeding off. She didn't need to worry about the snake man for awhile, having studied on the human body and while you can still count Oruchimaru as human..ish she knew where the most grueling pressure points were and she had just hit one that would leave him out cold for atleast 3 hours. Sakura wasn't a master assassin/spy for nothing.
"Quickly! You 3, Grab the boss take him to the nearest safest house, we'll go after that bitch!" Said one of his henchmen, guiding the other 2 with him into the black Mercedes Benz. The remaining cars sped down the empty countryside roads to chase after the pink haired vigilante.
Sakura looked into her rear view mirror and saw 3 cars chasing after her and another white van that joined the pack as well, however it didn't look like a threat "Auto-drive on"
"Auto drive intiated"
She reached into the passenger glove compartment and pulled out an AK-47, she opened the sunroof and stood up.
The two cars in front which happened to be Sasuke and Naruto's were confused as to why she was reloading a gun, she wasn't really planning on shooting them was she? Sakura pointed the gun at them teasingly before moving it to the black Benz that was following her, she shot at the tires making the car swerve of the road and onto a bunch of rocks before exploding.
She slid back down into the seat turning auto drive off, slowing down to talk to her friends. Stepping out of the car until she seen a white van pull up beside her.
