Mulan Shippuden
The next morning, Sakura got up early to practice her transformation technique in the backyard. She kept at it until sunrise but was too out of chakra that she collapsed. She awoke starring up at the ceiling in her bedroom. She tried to remember what happened and remembered that she used a lot of her chakra and collapsed. She turned to Sasuke who was sitting on a chair right next to the bed reading a book.
"Sasuke, how long was I out?" Sakura asked.
"About an hour." Sasuke replied, his eyes not leaving from the page of his book.
"Wow. That long…" Sakura just remembered that she had made an elixir liquid the night before to make Sasuke woozy for the time that she should be gone, so she knew that Sasuke wouldn't come after her. "Ummm… Sasuke- kun? Remember how you said that you sprained your ankle in practice?"
"Yeah, but it already healed, remember? You made a medical rub and it feels completely fine."
"Well, I just want to make sure it's alright so I made medicine for you to drink to make it better!" Sakura said, sweating all over.
"Wow, thanks Sakura." Sasuke said with a smirk of delight. Sakura lay back in bed with a sigh of relief. He drank it all down. Sasuke started to turn slightly pale.
"I'm starting to feel a little woozy Sakura." Sasuke said in a faint voice.
"I'm sorry Sasuke- kun. Please forgive me." Sakura said before Sasuke fell onto the bed and blacked out. She put him in a more comfortable position on their bed with 2 pillows under his head.
"Henge no justsu!" Sakura transformed into Sasuke and was off.
She blended into the crowd that was gathered around the Hokage's office. She looked around noticing that there were absolutely no female ninja here. The voice that was speaking sounded like Asuma's voice.
"We will all head north west to the Akatsuki's hide out and decimate it. We do not know if we will have to fight an Akatsuki member but if it does come to it, do what you can to slow them down. Now, GO!" and everyone and herself was off, northwest.
When they got there, there was a large river moving speedily.
"They are right here!" came Asuma's voice again. "It's just under this river."
Sakura stepped forward since no one else did, and decided that she had never used Sasuke's katana or a katana for that matter. So, she would rely on her own strength. She gathered her chakra in her right hand, and BOOM, pounded into the ground with her fist and a huge explosion went right into the river and it suddenly… stopped. And there, was a huge room made of solid rock, but empty. They all went into it and looked around for any clues of what their next move would be. Then, out of nowhere a huge sword with sharp spikes all around it stabbed three people at once and they went down.
Sakura followed her instinct and ran towards the three people. She would normally do this for she was more of a defense than offense. She would stay on the side, waiting for someone to get hurt and rush towards them to cure them, for she was a specialist medical ninja, taught by Tsunade-sama herself. But this time she could not; she would surely blow her cover and get sent back home like a little puppy. She did not wish for this outcome at all and decided to stay where she was.
She looked at the man who came out of the shadows. Well, more of a fish man. She looked at his face and immediately knew who he was.
"Kisame Hoshikage…" Sakura said under her breath. She had never seen his face or has fought with him for that matter but had heard of him from Team Guy. Team Guy was formed with Might Guy, Tenten, Neji Hyuuga, and Rock Lee. Team Guy had fought Kisame once and told Sakura that he was quite strong.
Out of another corner of the wall came a man with dark yellow hair and had some sort of weird eye tech over his left eye. She also knew who this man was. Deidara. She had met this man once. When they came to rescue Gaara, and he showed his face to her once before taking off and having Naruto and Kakashi go after him. He did the same this time. He threw a piece of clay up into the air, made a hand sign, and the clay transformed into a bird. Deidara hopped onto the bird and flew off. Almost more than half of the team went after Deidara, leaving her and a few more people with her. She noticed Neji, Asuma, Kakashi, Shino, and a bunch more people going after Deidara. Naruto, Kiba, Shikamaru, Lee and people that she had never seen in her life, stayed back to deal with Kisame. She didn't know why and how, but having Lee and Naruto stay back with her made her feel more confident and protected.
"Oi, Sasuke! Whatcha doin?! Go for the first hit!" She could tell it was Naruto's voice. She knew that Sasuke would never answer to Naruto and just go and not hold back. So, trying not to blow her cover leaped towards Kisame, grabbing the katana at her waist, not knowing how to handle it, and tried to take a swing at Kisame. But, as predicted, Kisame blocked the katana with his incredibly large sword, Samehada. She was flung back and hit the ground.
"Oi! Sasuke! What's wrong with you?! That's the worst I've seen you fight since we were in group 7 as genin!" Naruto shouted. Sakura tried to act as much like Sasuke, but the one thing she couldn't do was wield a katana. She knew that she couldn't keep fighting with the katana, so put it back on her waist and decided to just use her own strength. She didn't want to blow her cover too badly so would not use her medical justsu on the other people.
Shikamaru had held down Kisame while Kiba took a dive with Akamaru using Gatsuga. Kisame was able to just barely move and used Samehada to block the Gatsuga coming at him.
"Darn it!" Kiba shouted. "I was sure I had him."
"It's that sword of his that keeps dodging everything!" Shikamaru said.
"That's it!" Sakura thought. All I need to do is get that sword of his and then we can get him! She moved a little closer to Shikamaru.
"Shikamaru, lend me your ear for a sec. Naruto will keep Kisame busy with his shadow clones and you'll hold him down with your shadow manipulation and I'll go after him. If I'm right, he'll use his sword to block himself with again and I can get a good punch at it, good enough to dent it slightly, then, Kiba, you do your Gatsuga on him, and Lee, you'll do the finishing touch with your Konoha Whirlwind. Ok?"
Everyone looked so puzzled at her.
"O-ok… sounds like a good plan. But one thing, Fish head's sword will spike up and penetrate your hand! Stupid!" Naruto said.
" It's ok Naruto. I can just heal myse-." She caught herself quickly. "Umm… I mean, I'll be fine!"
"You feeling ok, Sasuke? You haven't insulted me once today!" Naruto said.
"What ever, idiot!" She said back.
"Now that's more like it!" Naruto said sarcastically.
"Ok, on with the plan." Shikamaru said.
"Sure thing, Shikamaru!" Naruto said. "Taiju, KageBunshin no jutsu!"
