Chapter 2: The truth

Sakura was almost 18. She was a successful medic ninja and a really strong kunoichi. Her pink hair had grown and was a couple of inches down her back.

She was living by herself since her seventeenth birthday. The pink haired girl was happy with what she had accomplished over the years. She was strong and independent.

Only one thing made her sad… Sasuke, her lifetime crush, still hadn't returned.

The young kunoichi had just broken up with her boyfriend, Gaara. And was struggling to get over it.

She walked peacefully to the Hokage's office. Tsunade had asked her to go get a book that was on her desk and she staid at the hospital waiting.

Sakura knew it was a book about how to pick good sake and laughed to herself. Little did she know that Shizune had put the book away on one of the desk's drawers.

Sakura opened the door and quietly got inside. She looked around but didn't find the book anywhere. The kunoichi opened one of the drawers.

"Here it is!" She said pulling out the book. "Hum… What's this?" Sakura pulled a file with her name on it.

She opened it and scanned it with her eyes. Her heart was beating fast. She fell back on Tsunade's seat reading every word written on that file. She couldn't believe it….

The pink haired kunoichi got up and ran to the hospital. Now in front of the Hokage she demanded an explanation as she pointed to that piece of paper.

Tsunade froze. Shit!! How did she find that?? "Sakura… all that is written there is true…" She said with her head facing the floor.

"You mean all my life has been I lie??" Sakura yelled but her sensei didn't respond. "Konoha isn't my home…. I am an orphan… a nobody… why? Why did you lie to me? Why did you betray me like this???" She started almost in a whisper and finished yelling as she ran out of the hospital.

The Godaime was trying to find the right words but Sakura had already left. I better just let her alone for a while… I was too much for her… I just hope she understands.

Later at night….

"Sakura?" Naruto pounded on her apartment door. "Sakura, are you there? I've looked everywhere for you… Me and the gang are going to the movies… Come with us! It will be fun. Believe it! And we know your birthday is tomorrow so we are going to celebrate it early since Neji's team got a mission tomorrow, ok?" He turned the door knob.

Naruto got in side but saw now sight of Sakura. He sighed and was about to leave when he saw a piece of paper on the table. It was a letter:

I'm a lie… Everything I know isn't real… That file said:

A Cherry tree will bloom eighteen years after its birth… Her powers will be unleashed and she will be feared and worshiped. She will bring hope and doom. She will have the power to control men and creatures. All eyes will be at her control… She will master all eyes and even control its masters. The Sharingan, the Byakugan and the Rinnegan's masters will knell before her and fear her more than death. She will find true love with Sharingan user. This Cherry Blossom must learn what her powers are and how to use them wisely.

You know what that means? I'm that Cherry Blossom… I'm that orphan found at Suna… the orphan that had a birthmark in form of a cherry on her back… I'm a LIE! My whole life has been a whole lie…

I need to find myself… I need to know who I am…even if that makes me a missing nin… I trusted Konoha for years and for years I put my life on the risk for it but I was betrayed… I'll miss all of you... Good-Bye

Sakura, just Sakura

P.S: Take care Naruto, after all you are the future Hokage.

Naruto smiled at that last part as tears ran down his eyes. He left to met the gang but before that he made a copy of the letter and gave it to Tsunade who was truly surprised.

Godaime had no choice. Even if this was her apprentice, she was now declared a missing nin and soon ANBU ninjas would go after her.

Naruto kept the letter to himself and only showed it to the gang. A few months later Tsunade finally told them Sakura was an orphan… but she only told Naruto and the ANBU about the legend.

Sakura ran out of Konoha and only looked back once. A lonely tear ran down her face. She was confused but above that… she was determined to find answers before she thought of coming back.

The Leaf Villages Elders warned all of Konoha's allies about the new missing nin. If they saw her they were to capture her and warn Konoha… That is if they catched her which they found to be a really difficult task.

That task became even harder when she formed Team Ryuu. It was called Team Dragon because all of its members were powerful missing ninjas from different places.

Tsumy was a blond powerful kunoichi from the Hidden Village of the Sand. She was really skilled and experienced and about 19 when she met Sakura.

Toto was a black hairded tall (quite handsome guy) from the Hidden Village of the Mist. He was really powerful and had killed many although he was usually a sweet patient guy. He was 20 when he met Sakura and Tsumy.

Luuke was a dark blue haired guy (even more handsome than Toto) from the Hidden Waterfall Village. He is the same age as Sakura, except he is two months older than her. Currently he is the second most powerful in the Team, Sakura is the most powerfull.

Team Ryuu helped Sakura with her newly discovered powers and became loyal friends. Her powers aren't fully known and she can't control them really well but she's learning.

Recently she learned she can now master all of the elements. The hard part will be actually mastering them. [A/N: She hasn't discovered how to control Sharingan, Byakugan and Rinnegan yet but she will soon…

Akatsuki wants her so they can use her powers. They have been following her for the last three months. She fought Itachi once but didn't have the guts to kill him. This is Sasuke's job… not mine…She thought.

Since everyone has to survive somehow, team Ryuu is a team of powerful assassins. The work for however pays the most (they are freelancers). They mostly kill missing nins (like themselves) and political enemies. Never once did they fail.

Luuke and Sakura are the leaders of the team but lately Sakura has been the one giving orders.

Sakura tossed around trying to sleep but she couldn't. She had just seen Sasuke after all these years.

It was already morning and Team Ryuu got up. They separated themselves into two teams.

Tsumy, who was already feeling better, and Toto where going to kill their target.

Sakura and Luuke where going to make sure that their target's ninjas didn't come back to the green village until Tsumy and Toto had successfully eliminated him.

Sakura dashed through the forest with Luuke right behind. They were following the ninjas to make sure they didn't come back to the green village.

"Sakura" Luuke let a little smile on his face.

"Yeah.. I know… Team Hebi is close. But we don't have time to go around. We have to keep going on this direction." She replied.

Luuke new she just wanted to see if Sasuke was okay but decided that for his safety he would not say anything.

"Sasuke-kun… I sense two really strong chakras coming this way" Karin said standing up.

"Can you identify them?" Juugo asked.

"I can now… baka…." She replied.

"So who are they? Is it Itachi?" Sasuke asked with his usual blank expression.

"No… It's-" Karin didn't finish.

Sakura and Luuke were standing in front of them.

"Sakura, what a surprise…" Sasuke said with sarcasm.

"Not now… I don't have time for your sarcasm." Sakura tensed up.

"What's wrong?" Luuke asked her.

"Shit! There coming back!!! " She quickly said. Sakura didn't like to kill so she and her team planned to attack when their target was with a low amount of personal ninjas with him.

"Fuck! What now? Tsumy and Toto are far away…" the dark blue haired nin said.

"What the hell are you two bakas talking about?" Karin screamed.

Sakura looked at Luuke who immediately understood what she wanted. She completely ignored Karin.

"Are you sure you can handle them?" He asked.

She smiled. "They are just 10… it will be a piece of cake. Go and make sure the others finish the job quickly before more come."

Luuke nodded and left.

Sakura jumped onto a tree branch and ran away.

"Stay here" Sasuke ordered as he followed her.

Sasuke ran until he found her. She was standing there over ten ninja bodies. Impossible! She has killed them all right now?

"What are you doing here? Have you been fallowing me?" Her question surprised him but before he could answer she disappeared.

Sasuke stood there wondering when he would meet her again…..

A/N: sorry it was short and boring but I'm really out of time and I have so much school work to do.

I will update What Goes Around Comes Around tomorrow if I have time (I have a huge test tomorrow).

I promise to reply the reviews as soon as I can.

REVIEW PLEASE!!
