A/N: Okay guys I am going to do a time skip so remember this is four years in the future. That would make Sasuke and Sakura twenty four or twenty five. Well anyway this will be the last chapter until next sat. That's because I will be on vac. Did everyone get those last 2 sentence. That was the important part. I don't want anyone thinking it's my fault because I have already checked and the place I am staying at doesn't have internet signal. Very Srry. I will double my update speed when I return though. Promise. ;p

Sasuke walked into Sakura's room. As usual she was reading a medic book about forbidden medical jutsu. Over the years Sakura began to get curious. Her old sensei only taught her basic jutsu so she didn't know forbidden jutsu. Orochimaru had been more then happy to ease her curiosity. He had given her plenty of scrolls and books on all kinds of medical jutsu. Sakura for some reason seemed to be very interested in the forbidden ones.

"Why do you insist on learning forbidden jutsu?" Sasuke complained. He didn't like Sakura learning forbidden jutsu. She could get in serious trouble one day.

"Are you the only one around here aloud to get stronger? You know this can come in handy one day." Sakura said. This reminded the Uchiha on the reason he had come here.

"Sakura I think we should go and train." Sasuke said. Sakura nodded and followed him out of her room to his private training grounds. No one was allowed here so this is where Sasuke took Sakura to tell her important things that he didn't want Orochimaru to hear. When they reached the training grounds the silence was broken.

"What is it?" Sakura asked.

"The dobe is coming to look for us." Sasuke said nonchalantly.

"Yeah so? He does that a lot." Sakura said impatiently. She was just learning about a new jutsu to transplant souls when he interrupted her. And for what? To tell her that Naruto was looking for them again.

"It has been four years and Orochimaru is ready to take my body." Sasuke stated.

Sakura let out a gasp first from fright and then from realization.

"Is it time?" Sakura asked dead serious.

"Yes. We both know the lair and pathways. When the dobe arrives with his rescue team I will inform all of you of the plan. For now I suggest you keep up your normal routine so as not to arouse suspicion." Sasuke said. Sakura nodded and headed back to her room. She couldn't wait until Naruto got here. She would be so excited. Sasuke even promised to come back to Konoha with her.

Flashback

"Sasuke since…he…is dead…Well why don't you come back to Konoha with me now. Why do we have to wait until Orochimaru needs your body to attack? Isn't that dangerous?" Sakura asked in a soft pleading voice. Sasuke looked at her and replied simply.

"If we wait until he is weak and he needs a new body killing him will be easier." Sakura nodded in understanding.

"Sasuke…you are coming back to Konoha right?" Sakura asked.

"Hn." Sasuke replied. If it wasn't for the smirk on his face and the light in his eyes Sakura would never have realized that 'Hn' was yes. She jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He didn't pull away but instead wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

Flashback ends.

Now all we have to do is wait one more day and then we can kill that bastard. Of course we can let Sasuke kill Orochimaru but we get Kabuto. I'm going to make him pay for what he did to our girls. Shannaro!

Sakura nodded her head agreeing with Hana. Sakura had gained much confidence since living with Sasuke and Orochimaru. After teaching herself a forbidden jutsu that kills your opponent with one touch she became second in power only to Sasuke and Orochimaru. Even though she knew she was really only second to Sasuke she still had to play afraid of Orochimaru so that no one would suspect them of mutiny. Sakura picked up her medic book on forbidden jutsu and continued studying like a good little rebel, I man disciple of a homo sexual sannin. Cough cough.

Later that night in Sasuke's room:

"Sasuke how do you know Naruto will be coming to your room?" Sakura asked sitting on the edge of Sasuke bed.

"Because I know the dobe. He wouldn't be smart enough to wait until we went to the training grounds. He would be stupid enough to try to sneak into my room at night hoping I was sleeping and think I wouldn't be alerted when he walked in through the window." Sakura sighed.

"You don't give him much credit you know? I am going to the training grounds you can come and get me if he comes here." Sakura said walking towards the window.

"When, Sakura, When he comes here I will come and get you. Not if." Sasuke smirked. Sakura rolled her eyes and turned back to the window to see none other then Naruto. She jumped back and had to hold off the urge to scream at the idiot standing in front of her with a wide grin.

"Sakura chan! I knew you would be here. Did that teme do anything to hurt you?" Naruto embraced the kunoichi and growled at the Uchiha.

"No Naruto. Now shut up before you wake everyone in the building up. Sasuke needs to tell you about his plan to kill Orochimaru." Sakura said trying to get out of the blonde's reach. Sasuke thankfully pulled her away from Naruto and into his own chest. Naruto glared at the raven haired Nin. "What are you talking about Sakura chan?" Naruto asked demandingly.

"Look dobe I have a plan to kill Orochimaru and I want your help. And you can wipe that smug grin off of your face because I didn't say I needed your help I said I wanted your help. Now did you bring a team with you?" Sasuke asked seeing Naruto was alone.

"Of course. I brought Gai's team and the whole rookie nine. Everyone has been so worried about Sakura that Tsunade baa chan cut all of our missions so we could look for her." Naruto said proudly. Sakura go with Naruto to get his team. Bring them to the training grounds. Take the back way through the forest." Sasuke ordered. Sasuke then disappeared in a cloud of smoke leaving Naruto to hug Sakura again.

"Naruto get off of me you dobe we have to go and get your team." Sakura said grabbing Naruto by the collar and dragging him out the window.

"Hey, Hey. Sakura chan I think that bastard is rubbing off on you. You seem more violent then usual." Naruto complained. Little did our friends know that a certain silver haired man was watching them in the distance a smirk on his face.

Sakura had met with Naruto's team and told them that they had to hasten to meet with Sasuke. They were reluctant but everyone except Neji trusted Sakura so they let her lead them to Sasuke.

Once at the training grounds Sasuke greeted them with a nod before beginning to talk.

"Okay. Orochimaru will want to switch bodies with me tomorrow morning. He will be in a very weak state so that is why I have decided to attack now. Sakura will lead half of you through the east part of the lair. Sakura will know how to get around the guards and will show you too the corridors where the ninja sleep. You will attack and kill as many as you find. Don't hesitate. None of these ninja are loyal to the sound country only to Orochimaru. Sakura you will find Kabuto and kill him. I will lead half of you through the west of the lair. You have the same instructions. Naruto you will come with me to kill Orochimaru understand?" Sasuke must have realized that these people would be reluctant to trust him.

"And why should we trust you?" Neji hissed. Even Naruto nodded in agreement with Neji.

"Do you trust me? By not listening to him you are saying you don't trust me. Neji when my children were born you often helped me to support them. You have to listen to me. I know he isn't lying. I didn't sit here for four years waiting for you to come and fall into a trap. I sat here for four years waiting for you to come and help me kill the snake teme and bring Sasuke back home." At this Neji agreed. He hadn't been the sentimental type so he never exactly comforted Sakura but he paid for the children to go to school and paid for whatever else Sakura needed. He trusted her.

"So who goes with who?" Naruto asked.

"You know your teammates best. You should make up the teams." Sasuke said. Naruto nodded and quickly went over all the people carefully.

These people will be sleeping in dark rooms. So Shikamaru's strangle jutsu will be quick and quiet. Ino's mind jutsu would work well too. Shino could use his poisonous bugs and TenTen could use her weapons and deadly accuracy to the same advantage as Ino and Shikamaru.

"Ino, Shikamaru, TenTen, and Shino will be able to kill off the enemy quickly and quietly. So Ino and Shikamaru you guys go with Sakura. TenTen and Shino you guys come with me." The four people chosen split up into their groups.

Each team will need some bulk just in case things get out of control.

"Okay, Hinata, Chouji, and Lee you will be back up to Shikamaru and Ino. If things get out of control step in. If they don't just sit back and keep watch. Remember the idea is to not let the enemy know we're here. Neji and Kiba you guys come with me." Naruto finished happy with his decision until he realized something. He stared at the Hyugga heiress who wasn't on his team. How could he protect her…

"Don't worry Naruto. I'll protect her I promise." Sakura said giving Naruto a smirk.

Naruto looked relieved until he noticed something else. Everyone turned to see what the blonde was gaping at.

"First you call me dobe and now you are smirking. Teme you turned her into a mini you. If we get out of here alive I'm going to kick your ass. You hear me teme. Believe it." Naruto screamed. Everyone just sweat dropped at the easily distracted blonde pain in the ass.

"Alright let's…"

"Mind if I join in? Tsunade sent me after Naruto and well I couldn't help but over hear." Kakashi said crinkling his eye as if he were smiling.

"Yeah sure Kaka sensei." Sakura said running to hug her former sensei.

"Alright if all of the reunions are over can we please get back to the mission now?" Neji complained.

"Hai!" Everyone responded before jumping off. Everyone was thinking the same thing.

This is going to be one hell of a fight!

A/N: See ya next week. ;p RANDR.! ;p
