(AT THE SOUND NINJA BASE CAMP)

"I swear to god if I get out of this alive I'll kill you all!!" Sasuke screamed.

"Oh shut up. Why can't you be good like the rest of the captives?" asked the Sound ninja Battle Captain.

"Because I have to live, I can't die!"

"God stop yelling! We aren't gonna kill you. We are just holding you for ransom and we will let you go when the battle ends."

"Is there any way I can work for my freedom?"

"Well, you could be my slave and work for me for a couple of years. Then I guess I could let you go."

"Years!?!?! How long do you think this battle could last?"

"Oh trust me kid we plan on fighting for a long, long time."

"Well I know I'll die out there in battle so if being your slave means I get to live to see my wife and son then so be it. I will be your slave."

"Hmmmm, smart kid."

(BACK AT THE VILLAGE)

"Naruto, I can't thank you enough for letting me stay with you. Now are you sure I won't be a burden to you?" Sakura said to Naruto.

"You? A burden? Never. Now you just rest you pretty little head and get some sleep. It's late ok, good night." Naruto went over to Sakura and gave her a hug good night.

Sakura sat on the bed and said back very quietly, "Good night Naruto."

Naruto just stood at her door way, then turned around and went into his room. Sakura couldn't help feeling something, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
