Strength and Imortality Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Ok so here it the chapter where it actually starts getting interesting.

Chapter 1 the mission

It was 5 :00 in the mourning Sakura woke up by some one rudely banging on the door to her room in Akatsuki head quarters. Sea foam eyes stared at the black door in hopes the rude person would go away. Finally after having enough of whoever it was Sakura stormed to the door unlocked it and flung it open. A shark like man just stared at the disheveled woman with a wide ruefull grin plastered on his face. " Nice to see your finally awake blossom" Kisame said while chuckling.

The kunoich narrowed her eyes at the shark like man. " The mission what is it?" Sakura asked with an irritated look on her face. Kisame just stood looking at her stuned for a moment ' how did she know, but then again Sakura has always been the brightest out of us'. He didn't care he was going to ask anyway. " How did you know that's what I came for?". The pink haired woman now stared at him like he was an idiot. "O f course that why you came no one dares wake me up at the crack of dawn unless it 's important. So whats the mission salmon kun." Sakura's turned from annoyed to playfull all of a sudden and he knew she was only joking.

After all Sasori, Tobi, and kasame took it upon them selves to give her the little sister label shortly after she arrived. She could swear that sometimes they were worse then Naruto. They had infact intervened on several occasions when she was about face battle and it annoyed her to no end.

Flash back

Sakura stood in front of 30 anbu elite all holding shuriken and kunai. Just as the pink haired woman was about to do her ' sakura shadow wind jutsu' a blur of red and black swept in front of her. Samehada came down on them hard and left none alive in its wake.she could still see his toothy grin. "Can't have my lil sis in trouble now can I".

End flash back

Pink hair swayed behind the woman as she strolled past Kisame. With one look over her shoulder he knew she was silently telling him to fallow.

Akatsuki Meeting room

Sakura and Kisame stepped into the dark moist cave noticing the rest of the group already hiding in the shadows. Sakura quickly took her spot in between Deidara and Itachi. Before anyone could greet the other the leader took this time to speak.

"Now that you're all here we can get this over with." Piercing red eyes searches the crowd looking for anyone who dared interject .Seeing as how no one had any objections he continued. "As you all know there have been suspicions that Akatsuki in steal have picked up Orochimarus experiments and plan to further them.T he mission is simple Itachi Sakura you two will head this one".

Both the mentioned looked at each other then simply nodded telling leader to go on. " Itachi your are to take Sakura under the guise of a geisha girl as a piece offering to the leader there. This way it will be easier for you to gather information. Sasori and Deidara will fallow as back up if anyone should try anything you are to assassinate them imeediatly. The rest of you will gather information here . Dismissed" and with that everyone bowed and made their way silently out of the cave.

Outside Akatsuki gates

Eight men stood silently outside the Akatsuki head quarters each waiting for the arrival of their favorite cherry blossom.

Eight pairs of eyes stared in amazement at the gracefull beauty that made her way out of the gates. Sakuras hair was up in a fancy bun held together with black chop sticks pastel pink strands framed the side of her silky face. She had on light make up and her kimono was pale green with sakura leaves on it, her obi was a dark shade of pink and was tied tightly around her waist. The men couldn't move they couldn't breath at the sight of such beauty. Sakura spoke gently taking them out of there revere " Well boys are we going to stare at each other all day or are we going to get this over with." And with that they separated on their missions
