Disclaimer: NARUTO BELONGS TO MASASHI KISHIMOTO AND TV TOKYO.
Sakura Haruno, former ANBU of Konoha and former student of Kakashi Hatake and Godaime Tsunade, has been chased after by many shinobi, but not in the good way. She had been the one to assassinate Tsunade. When Sakura realized that she wouldn't be able to help Sasuke with his dream, she went out to help Naruto become Hokage. Naruto, now the Hokage and didn't know what really happened between Sakura and Tsunade, had sent countless ANBU after her. Now, Sakura, thinking that no one would want her, encountered the Akatsuki. That's when she joined. Now, to the Akatsuki base.
"So, you are the great Haruno, Sakura," the Leader asked.
"Yes. I understand that you know that I was on the same team as Naruto Uzumaki, Konoha's Best Medic, and that I've learned under Tsunade," Sakura added.
"Correct. We understand that you could be a big help to our organization. Our members keep showing back up with several wounds, bruises, and anything else you can think of. So far, we can only have Sasori create them more and more body parts."
"Sasori? Didn't Chiyo-baasama and I already kill him or you guys used a sacrifice to revive him?"
"Yes, Haruno-san. We revived Sasori, but we'll make sure that he does no harm to you. So, tomorrow, you'll go with Deidara, Itachi, and Sasori to the training grounds if you're really suited for our organization. If you pass, you'll receive a cloak, ring, and hat. Good day."
Before Sakura could argue any further, leader teleported away as Itachi, Deidara, and Sasori appeared.
"So my otouto's girlfriend's joining us? Must be pretty weak and it's not because you lack hatred," Itachi said smiling on the inside, but never showing the emotion.
"Say that again, Uchiha and you'll be the one in the world of Tsukiyomi…except it won't be a genjutsu," Sakura threatened.
"Weak. Little. Ku-no-i-chi," Itachi said with a smirk across his face.
Within a second, she attempted to attack him with the chidori she learned from Kakashi.
One swift kick sent Sakura knocked against the wall.
"You let emotions get in your way Kunoichi. Be aware of that," Itachi said as he turned around and slowly walked away.
Sakura cursed as Itachi finally disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Looking to the ground, she sees an orange book with a red circle and red stripe inside it.
Flipping it over, it reads: Icha Icha Paradise.
Sweat-dropping, she asks herself, 'Do all ANBU read these?'
Sasori death glares at her and disappears which only leaves Deidara.
"Well, welcome to Akatsuki, un," Deidara says smirking.
