Recap
Blue eyes narrowed at her, "But I can't just let you leave." As soon as the shinobi tried to push her off of him, Sakura quickly sliced his neck, flipped the knife around and then stabbed him in the heart, twisting it while it was in him to make it more painful. Kizashi gasped and the cried out in pain before his daughter covered his mouth. "W-Why Sakura…," the man managed to choke out as some tears spilled over his cheeks. The medic-nin rose from the ground and looked down at him, "You got in the way. Say hello to Mebuki for me." Once she finished her sentence, she slammed her foot into the handle of the kunai, pushing it all the way through him causing his heart to instantly stop.
She bent down and grabbed her weapon, cleaning it off before putting it back in its pouch. Not taking another look back at the man who raised her, Sakura walked out her door but not after going to a towel closet in her hall. She took a note out and set it in there before she left her house for good. The pinkette easily made her way to the gate without anyone spotting her. Once she got to the exit, she spotted the two guards that were on duty. Being the expert at genjutsu as she was, the kunoichi quickly did hand signs before feathers fell around them. "What the…," one managed to start before both of them were forced into a deep slumber. "That was too easy…but no wonder it was able to work when Kabuto did it back at the chunin exams long ago…," Sakura said as she shook her head and left the Leaf Village with a hood on her head and her headband abandoned back on her dresser in her deserted house.
The pink haired kunoichi left the Leaf Village and headed southwest, her destination being the Land of Rivers. On her ANBU missions, several times it was to get clues on the Akatsuki. Sakura went further though and on almost every mission, she had searched for information on the gang of S-rank criminals. Now the female behaved and did give the Hokage some information as a report each time she had been sent out, but as for the information she gathered by herself and for the conclusions she came up with, she kept to herself. Sakura didn't want to give Konoha too much information that would give them an upper hand to finding the traitors, which would ruin the plan she had spent so much time on. What is that plan that made this medic-nin run away from her village and become a criminal herself? Well that will be answered in due time. It wasn't fully complete yet.
Now noticing she had successfully escaped a good distance without another interference, Sakura broke into a sprint. The girl wanted to put much space between her and the village that she was born in. She knew once the guards awoke and informed her former teacher that she had left the village, the Hokage would send out shinobi to capture her; one for sure being Naruto whether it was the Tsunade's choice or not. The kunoichi made certain to not leave any signs for where she was heading so it would lessen the chance of them finding her; though for reassurance, she wanted to at least make it half way to her destination before she took a rest. The female made it near the Tanzuka Town but made certain to go around it and for no one there to see her. The blonde Hokage tended to gamble there quite a bit so if anyone noticed her pupil coming through there, they would sure be able to tell her if the question arose. It was at this moment that the pinkette truly hated her hair color. It was defiantly a noticeable thing.
After having a few more hours, Sakura was almost to the point she figured it would safe enough to rest a bit before finishing her journey so she started to slow her pace down to a fast walk, calming regaining her breathe. It didn't take long before she realized that it was a mistake to stop her previous speed because shortly after she slowed, she sensed an unfamiliar chakra aura. The emerald eyed girl frowned slightly as she continued her strides to see if the person would just continue what they were doing but that was ruled out when the sound of a male's chuckling hit her eardrum. Upon hearing that low sound, her feet came to a halt and she turned her head slightly to see the male reveal himself from the shadows of the forest. The assumed ninja had white hair, that barely went down to his shoulders, with bangs that stopped just above his eyebrows, purple eyes and a shark toothed grin, literally. He wore a tight, turtle neck, muscle shirt that matched the color of his eyes, gray pants that stopped just above his ankles, a brownish grey pair of ninja shoes, two belts that matched his shoes that held water bottles, and a dark drown harness strapped on around his upper torso that held a sword that the medical ninja had seen before. Only barely did Sakura's eyes widen when the sword was found in her memory as she thought, 'Zabuza's sword?'
The currently hooded ninja kept her silence as she waited to see what the man who found her wanted. She knew he wasn't from Konoha and did think he'd be with the Mist Village because Zabuza's sword was put as a memento on his grave. The pinkette was vaguely curious about who this odd ninja was but wasn't too concerned about it; that was as long as he didn't cause her any trouble. The purple eyed nin took one of the bottles of water off his belt as he began to speak, "Now who would you be, mm?" He took the straw into his mouth and began to drink from it casually, acting as if Sakura posed no threat to him whatsoever. Sakura's facial expression stayed solemn as she didn't bother to answer his question as she turned her head back before she started to walk away from him. The shark boy's eyes narrowed in annoyance as he saw she didn't answer him, whether it had been with a name or something else. "Hey! I was talking to you! Don't just walk away," he snapped at her as he gripped the container in his hands. Before the nin could even bother with going after her though, there was a loud shout that came from the area of the woods he had exited from, "Suigetsu! Where did you run off to! Sasuke-kun is ready to go!"
The newly S-ranked nin's jaw clenched slightly at the mention of her former teammate's name. 'Damn it…it's not time to face him yet,' she thought as her pace quickened slightly. Suigetsu, oblivious to the pinkette's actions, groaned as he put his bottle back into place on his belt, "Damn Karin…why are you so loud?" Ruffles from the brushes and limbs were heard before the person that was the source of the sudden shout came from the forest. The female had spiky, uneven, red hair that went down close to her mid back and matching red eyes that were hidden behind black rimmed glasses. She wore a light purple, long sleeved, turtle neck jacket that zipper didn't start until the cloth was above her stomach, exposing it, and went all the way up to her neck. This jacket was accompanied with black shorts that barely covered her bottom, black stockings, and matching ninja shoes. A growl came from the kunoichi as she pushed up her glasses before punching the male in the face, which in return made his head turn into water. "I heard that, you ass," the now ticked off girl yelled at him before crossing her arms over her chest. Seeing that with this commotion was the perfect time to escape this group, Sakura took it and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Suigetsu's cranium regained its original shape as irritation came with it before he glared at Karin, "Now what the hell was that for!" Only receiving a huff from the female made the white haired ninja roll his eyes and shake his head before two more people exited the wooded area to join the two. Spiked up midnight blue hair and onyx eyes gave away the first one to be none other than Sasuke Uchiha, ex-member of a Team 7. Forehead was still bare, just like when he had cast away his headband. He now wore a white, open kimono top that showed his bare chest, a dull blue wrap that was held together with a purple rope, dark blue pants that were tucked into his dull black ninja shoes, black arm bracers that were slightly hidden under his sleeves, and a long katana placed on his back and held in place by the rope. The other was a male with spiky orange hair and matching eyes. He had a somber face and wore a blue cloak over his outfit. Sasuke's dark eyes laid on Suigetsu before speaking, "What were you doing, Suigetsu?"
Suigetsu took his drink off the belt again and started to drink some before speaking, "Well I was ahead of everyone and I heard someone so I got closer and it was a girl." He scratched his head and gave a sheepish grin, "Yet I didn't get a good look of her face and she got away, but that wasn't my fault. I was about to go after her until Karin decided to run out and punch me." Karin glared at the water boy as she let her glasses fall down the bridge of her nose. The Uchiha only gave a slight nod before he started walking, ordering, "We have a task at hand. Let's go. Juugo, take lead." The quiet orange haired ninja gave a nod before he went ahead of the group.
When Sakura was sure she was a safe distance away, judging by their chakra auras, she jumped up into a tree and sat near the trunk so she could rest her back against it. She closed her tired eyes and exhaled slowly, thinking, 'Damn that was close…I'm not ready to face him yet…' A frown came to her once pink colored lips at that thought but excused herself for it by telling herself that she was not yet strong enough to fight him and that was all. Her lids opened half way as she tilted her head so she could look up at the sky to see it starting to lighten up, "Well…soon there will be shinobi coming after me." The kunoichi closed her eyes once more, "But by then, I will be out of the Land of Fire entirely." After she whispered that out, the pinkette allowed her mind to go blank to rest before continuing the journey to the Hidden Valley Village in the Land of Rivers.
Hey guys~ Long time no see ^^" Okay sorry for neglecting my story buuut I've been doing it to all my stories if that makes up for it at all. Well to be honest, this is a bit harder than I thought it would. I'm tossing out A LOT of the old story because it was pointless really. I'm actually quite ashamed that I ever posted that piece of shit -_- Ugggh. But here we go! Lots of polishing and we have gotten here! Also, I literally looked at a map of the world of Naruto to help me with directions and crap so I can actually add in village names and junk~ So I hope you've enjoyed it~
Until next time :3
