Sasuke and Naruto left early in the morning. They stopped by the Hokage's office, to tell Tsunade. She had a grim expression on her face, but she let Naruto and Sasuke go. She could see that Sasuke wanted to protect Sakura, it reminded her of her own deceased love. She requested that the boys take back up, but they refused, saying they needed to travel small and light in order to catch up. Tsunade did not protest.
That had been hours ago though. Sasuke and naruto reached the outpost town at noon. Some people said that they had seen some cloaked men up on the hill in the shade at about nine, so that's the direction they took.
"Sasuke what if we're too late? I mean what if…" Naruto let his words trail off.
"Don't think like that Naruto! You're such a looser! You really are hopeless." Said Sasuke, but deep within Sasuke's heart the same questions dwelled. It was only a matter of time before Sakura was found, in whatever state she was. The thing that Naruto and Sasuke both had in common now, they both prayed they weren't too late.
Sorry for the shortness…I'm in a bit of a rush… and as my reviewer notice….i write short chapter…but I post twice as much…It makes it easier, so if I forget to post I keep you on the edge of your seats!
