Chapter 9:The Last Good Bye

Sasuke looked at the two figures hugging, feeling a o punch of jealousy that Naruto was the one holding Sakura now.

He walked near them, calm and silent.

Sakura was sobbing in Naruto's arms and Naruto was caressing her back caringly, telling her that everything was going to be fine.

''Naruto-kun, you are finally here!!!All alive!!I missed you so much, Naruto-kun!''Sakura muttered between her sobs in ecstasy.

''Sakura-chan, I was coming to look around for spies in the mountain, I never hoped I woulf dind you so easily!!!But you didnt think id leave you like that right? I was planning to come back for you, once I felt more ready to attack those bastards!Forgive me for taking so long. Sakura-chan.''Naruto said in a broken breath as a tear rolled down his cheek.

''Dont worry about it, I ran away…''she said and Naruto gave her a stunned look, then his glare finally fell on Sasuke, in doubt and curiosity.

Sakura followed his glare with hers and once she got his train of thought, she cheered.

''Dont worry, Naruto-kun. He ran after me, but we fought and we caused a heavy snow fall, which blocked all the ways back to Konoha and all around. So I had to spend the night with him, sadly.''she said and with her last word she glared at Sasuke which made him pensive in the inside.

Naruto with his glare on Sasuke, talked at Sakura, holding her in his arms, still.

''Did he hurt you, Sakura? What did that traitor do to you?''he asked, giving a pissed glare at Sasuke who was looking at him calmly and emotionessly.

Sakura thought it would be better not to ever let Naruto know what happened between her and Sasuke on the mountains and how she had lost her memory and she ended up making out with their enemy. She simpply noded her head bakwards and rubbed Naruto's arm affectionately.

''No, he didnt lay a single hand on me, at least he had the guts to respect me.''she said, making a tragedic face with the ironic lie that hanged on her phrase.

Naruto instead looked back at Sasuke agressively as he pushed gently Sakura away and walked up to his former teammate.

''Is this true, dobe?''he asked, his voice threatening.

Sasuke looked at Sakura and then back at Naruto.

''Hn.'' He hissed.

''Answer me.''Naruto said as he closed the distance between them and grabbed his shirt tightly.

Sasuke smirked, enjoying his frustration.

''Cause to me she seems rather hurt physically.''he said as he turned for a few moments back to inspect fast at Sakura for a second time for wounds.

Sasuke pushed Naruto's hand away from his chest and looked at him coldly.

''It is true.''he said.

''I hope it is or you will regret it.''he said, feeling an urge to fight him.

Sasuke glared at him, calm.

''I am not intenting to fight with you, teme, so you'd better just take her and vanish from my sight.''he muttered and Naruto couldnt explain why he felt hurt at his words.

Sasuke noticed it and tried to hide his regretted glare and he did it fine.

Naruto gave him a hesitant look.

Then he said:»»If you think I am going to leave without a fight, you are wrong!''he hissed and he saw Sasuke backing away slowly.

''Trust me, Id love to fight you as well but the region here doesnt approve for our little cat fights, last time I tried it, I ended up blocked in here.''he said which was true but not just the only reason Sasuke refused to fight him.

Sakura walked closer to them, talking behind Naruto's back.

''This is true.''she said to Naruto, rubbing his back gently.

''Please, Naruto-kun, what does it matter? I am just fine, dont worry about me, we can just walk away and everyone will be in peace. Lets not make things more complicated than they already are.''she said and gave Sasuke a painful glare that made him look at her back for an instance before he turned his glare back at Naruto's face.

Even though Naruto was partially disgusted and angry that Sasuke had betrayed them he still couldnt give up on him. He wanted to hope there was still a chance to change him, even if without him knowing, Sakura had done that, two days ago.

Sakura looked frustrated at Naruto that didnt reply back at her, but kept staring at Sasuke in hidden denial.

She walked back to her initial spot and let those two alone to talk, as she leaned over a tree and supported her tired self on it. She had no more power to fight, if they wanted to solve their differences she wouldnt meddle.

Naruto looked at Sasuke, stably.

''You can still come back at team 7 and we will accept you, as a know that.''he said trying to make his voice sound calm.

Sasuke gave him a sarcastic glare, even if inside him he felt stunned hthat Naruto still believed in him. It kind of moved him.

''Still the same stupid persistent pest as always…Always a burden to my plans.''he said in a cold voice and he knew that his words would hurt him but it was the only way to make him back couldnt go back, for their own safety. If he did, Orochimaru would never cease to hunt them down until he got his revenge for Sasuke's betrayal. He had told him himself about that many times when those two would talk alone. And even if Sasuke could handle Orochimaru, he couldnt handle a whole army of the sound ninjas and their sadistic tendencies.

He had no other choice for the time being that abandon his old team and friends again.

Naruto tried hard to hide his frown, as he walked again close to Sasuke, his breath on his face, he grabbed tightly his shirt and dragged him slightly on him.

''Do you have no heart, you teme?''he said behind his teeh slowly as Sasuke flinched at their closeness and pushed him furiously away.

He flipped Naruto's arm on his back, just so as to cause him enough pain to immoblize himself, and whispered calmly on his ear.

''Just stay away from me, dobe, for your own good. Be a good boy and just walk away and quit chasing me.''he said slowly as he released Naruto's arm and shifted back to his initial spot. He watched stunned as there was asingle tear rolling down Naruto's cheek.

Sasuke avoided to look at him in the eyes.

He felt so hard he wanted to apologize but that would ruin everything.

''Cold ass, as always…You never cared for us.''Naruto said, not taking notice of the tear rolling on his cheek.

Sasuke stayed silent, then he just extended his hand to Naruto, waiting for him to hold it.

Naruto gave him a stunned look, not understanding his gesture.

Sasuke looked at him and grinned.

''This is the last time we see, each other. So I thought instead of fighting, Id end it in a civilized way.''he said, as his hand lingered in the air.

''We will do meet again, teme, when we will come to free Konoha. And there you wont be able to avoid fighting.''he said.

''I will never fight you.I dont fight my…my friends.''Sasuke finally said as he wished he could hide somewhere from Naruto's reaction.

Naruto looked at him, shocked. He never expected Sasuke to call him a friend, but apart from that why was he so sure this would be the last time they saw each other?

So many questions.

''Friends?''Naruto asked him, raising an eye brow.

Sasuke gently took Naruto's hand in him and shook it calmly as he leaned over and whispered in his ear.

''Lucky those, who get to be your friends, Naruto. Thanks for everything. But we need to say bye now.''he said slowly as he felt Naruto's hand trembling in his.

He pulled back, still their hands united, as Naruto was trying to get adapted to this new side of Sasuke. Something was wrong, Sasuke was hiding something and this made Naruto anxious.

He raised an eye brow to Sasuke, trying to smile now, as he had softened in his words.

Sasuke smirked and retrieved his hand as Naruto was giving an inner fight as of whether let him go or not, just like that.

He couldnt just say bye like that, what if it was indeed true that it was the last time?

Sasuke looked at Naruto, secretly frustrated. He didnt feel at ease, it wasnt simple for him, either but someone had to be the mature one and as always it wouldnt be Naruto.

He slowly raised his finger on Naruto's cheek and swipped away his tear, as Naruto looked at him in curiosity. Then once he understood he had teared, he felt awkward and retrieved his glare from Sasuke.

Sasuke smirked , looking at him,and poked his foreheard, teasingly.

''Get it over, dobe. You, too, mean things to me.''he said, uncaring anymore of how he sounded.

Naruto looked at him, paralyzed.

He tried to talk but Sasuke caught up.

''Dont make this hard …You think I never regreted not being in your team? You are an admirable opponent and you would make an even better ally.''he said looking stably at the orange haired ninja.

''Then why dont you just enter it, damn you?''Naruto asked, confused as ever.

''Fate doesnt want us all togethr. And I just have to follow my destiny. You are a good person, I am not. I cant just swittch sides and pretend I am something else than my true self.''Sasuke lied as the real reason was that he was worried for their safety.

''I believe you arent what you want to come out as. You have had a hard life, it molded you the way you are, but this doesnt mean you cant always try to change for the better.''he said and Sasuke gave him a tired glare.

''Just let go, Naruto. Our paths crossed by chance and now we both have to take our way back to where we belong.''he said as he turned his back on him and started walking.

Naruto complied for the time being, as he couldnt fight right now in the middle of the snow and since he was sure they would meet again, he thought hed let go now.

He frowned pissed and them calming down, he nodded at Sakura.

He started walking towards her place.

Sakura understood that they had exchanged their farewells and walked fast to Naruto.

''If you want to tell him bye, now it is the right time.''he said, with a frown on his face as Sakura's glare at his words, pinned unwantingly at Sasuke's back.

She walked fast and reached Sasuke as Naruto stood away, taking care of some small wounds on his legs, focusing his attention elsewhere.

Sakura had a bad feeling, she didnt know if she hated him, if she loved him, if she had forgiven him, or if she was still mad at him. All she knew was the beat of her heart, intense and fast like a horse, she felt like it was going to break at the thought of saying bye.

She swallowed. There was no reason to let her weak side show. If it was all over, then she didnt need to expose herself anymore.

Sasuke turned and faced her, smiling faintly. His smile was sad.

Sakura frowned and walked breath close to him.

''So, here we say bye, I guess…''she said feeling awkward.

Sasuke looked at her and nodded.

''Will you ever forgive me?''he whispered as his voice took a broken tone.

Sakura looked at him stunned and placed her hand on his chest.

''I already have.''she said, feeling so much better with herself for being so superior.

''I wouldnt ask you if you love me, that would be too much given the situation.''Sasuke said bitterly and Sakura looked at him silent, tension and sadness in the air.

''Does it matter now? Didnt you say to Naruto that this was the last time we would ever see you?''she said as she couldnt hold back her tears anymore and cursed herself for being so weak.

Sasuke looked at her, and caressed her wet cheeks, unsure.

''I do this for your own good.I swear…to my love for you.''he said and Sakura gave him a sad glare.

She couldnt say bye, the bad feeling in her was scaring her. It was making her wonder, in a torturing way what would their future be.

Sakura caught his hand that was on her cheek in hers and refused to open her eyes, as she was trying to realise the situation.

Sasuke gently pulled her in his arms and whispered in her ear.

''Please, dont make this harder.''he said as Sakura pushed him lightly away to look in his eyes.

''I wish I could…''she said , her hands trembling.

Sasuke took her face in his pale hands and kissed her softly. Sakura kissed him back, as tears rolled down her eyes. She could feel his upset breath on her face and she could hear her voice muttering ''no'' between the small kisses that followed.

Naruto had his back turned on them, busy with cleaning his slightly bleeding wounds and thought he would give them some privacy as he knew how important Sasuke used to be for his friend.

Finally, Sasuke broke the kiss and Sakura rested with her eyes closed, wishing it was all a lie, all her life since the moment that Sasuke had left her.

''Stay alive.''he said as he pushed her hair out of her forehead and slowly turned his back on her as he picked up his weapons and stuff and started walking to the paths back to Konoha, as the roads had semi opened anymore.

''Farewell, Sasuke-kun…''she whispered as she watched him, together with the now alert Naruto, fading behind the thick trees.

Naruto shouted.

''We will meet again, Sasuke!!!Count on that!''he said in his old cheery hyper tone that drove everyone crazy.

Sakura gave him an annoyed look but then smiled mockingly and hugged him, still happy they had met each other so unexpectidly.

''Sakura-chan! I missed you! I want you to tell me what those bastards did to you.''he said as he passed his arm on her shoulders and they took the road back to the light village, with Sakura now calmer and cheered up from the presence of her old beloved friend.

They took walking towards the light village, descending carefully the mountains, as Sakura was supporting herself on Naruto.

Naruto was looking at her worried all the way, she seemed like she had suffered some serious bruises in the hands of the sound bastards and this infuriated him non stop.

''Sakura-chan, did you tell me the truth that Sasuke-teme didnt hurt you?''he asked, frowning in the awaiting of her response.

Sakura didnt look at him but smiled at his caring attitude.

''Yes, Naruto-kun. Dont worry about me, as long as I am free from those bastards, I am happy. And now that I am with you, nothing is scaring me.''she said and looked at him, with cheerful eyes.

Naruto smiled back, pushing back his dark thoughts of how she could have been tortured and so on. It seemed like she didnt want to talk about it and he was discreet enough to comply to her wish.

''So, Naruto-kun, there is not much that I have to tell you, besides that I escaped and broke free on my own…but I wonder what happened to you? I remember still the last time I saw you in Konoha, you were fighting against Sasuke, then everything went dark.''she said.

''Yes, Sakura-chan, I had noticed you fainting from your wounds, and I wanted to run by your side, but as soon as Sasuke saw you passed out he pushed me away and refused to keep on fighting. He ran to you and he picked you up and took yoou away from the battle scenes, and I am sorry …I am sorry but I wasnt able to chase him, because soon every other sound ninja around encircled me and I had to fight them before I took on after him. But when I was over with them, I had lost him. And I saw how they captured Lady-Tsunade. I still remember her telling me to run away…The hope in her eyes, like she was basing on me to take revenge back for Konoha…She told me it was an order and something in her eyes told me thats that was what I had to do…Sorry if I was a coward Sakura, sorry that I failed to rescue you.''Naruto said as his eyes got fast wet.

Sakura looked at him stunned. So it was Sasuke who had captured her…She wondered why. The way Naruto said it, it sounded like he was trying to protect her at the battle, being passed out like that, shed be an easy target to anyone on the battle field.

Had Sasuke saved her life? She didnt know. She was confused as ever.

''Naruto, you did the right thing, it is what Lady Tsunade wanted you to do, and you obeyed as a proper ninja would do. She was smart enough to believe in you and that youd come after to rescue the ones that had remained behind. I never lost hope in you, either. It was your thought that kept me living those former few dark days.''Sakura said and caressed Naruto's cheek.

Naruto smiled at her, but the guilt and regret wouldnt leave his face.

''Then…then I started running and some of them ninjas took on chasing me, I managed to defeat some of them who had made it till the mountain, then I was so tired that I slept for some hours in a cave and then I took off for light village.''he said.

''There I found other ninjas of Konoha, as well, like Ino, Neji, Kiba, Sai…many of us made it alive. Sadly, Lady Tsunade and a few other elders are still captured away from Konoha.

I still dont know where they have taken them but there are rumours that they are planning to free themselves.I dont know any more on it, though.''he said and his voice sounded worried.

Sakura nodded at him , silent, thinking of all the information he had just given her.

She was so happy now that she knew many of the rest were alive. But she felt awfully sad for those who had lost their lives in the battle field. She fast pushed those dark thoughts away, they didnt help her at all, like they hadnt helped her either when she was at the dungeons, as a prisoner.

Naruto smiled at her and brushed her cheek. She looked so beautiful, but also so tired…so exhausted both physically and emotionally. So frail, he was afraid to ever leave her alone again.

''So, now Naruto, what are the plans for getting back at those dogs that ruined our home?''Sakura looked at him, now that everything was clear, her blood boiled for revenge.

''We have it all set back at the Light Village, Sakura-chan. Today, I was sent around to inspect for any spies hiding or lurking in the mountains.I didnt know the roads were blocked by snow. But I guess that means that no spies for the time I found you, I would never expect that.''he said, his voice getting an excited tone.

''We have allied with the Light village ninjas and from other neighbooring ones. They accepted to help us under the deal that we will help them later on protect themselves from their own enemies.''he said and his face had a proud expression.

''Always cocky.''Sakura thought smiling.

''That is a great deal. I confess I never expected things to be so good before you let me know about your plans.''she said as her voice sounded cheerful and excited.

''Dont underestimate the next Hokage, Sakura.''Naruto said, passing his hand through his orange hair , which made Sakura roll her eyes teasingly.

They headed back to the village and Sakura was instantly suprised by the people around. They seemed most of them wealthy and so open, so social…Like a totally different life from the Konoha one she was used to.

Sure, she had been in missions with her team to other villages, but they had never stayed long enough and in any case, this was the first time she saw such a beautiful place.

Little kids playing around, giggling in joy and excitement, elegant ladies in beautiful silky kimonos were walking here and there, holding each other with one hand and on the other hand they carried shopping bags, old men sitting next to each other in little tables out of shops, chatting in boredom and serenity, horse carriages crossing the village, to carry people around. And in the center of a big nice square there was a nice big, well. Its waters danced around happily, as young ladies and little kids gathered around it to drink from the water and refresh themselves. It was such a nice view. The village was full of green as well, with nice medium height trees here and there, waving their leaves at the slow gentle wind.

Maybe there was a reason that the village was called Light Village. It was so beautiful, so astonishing, so bright.

Gypsies here and there, playing their flutes and dancing on the streets to gather money from those passing by.

It was all such a nice painting, it reminded her of spring…

Naruto looked at her stunned expression and nudged her gently.

''Beautiful place, isnt it?''he said.

Sakura couldnt help the tears that run down her eyes, as all this atmosphere made her nostalgic about the peaceful days at Konoha, when everyone she knew was still alive and the roads were as full of people as the place she was now at was.

Naruto as thick as he was, he managed to get the reason of her sudden tears and he brushed them away softly as he smiled to her optimistically.

''Come on, Sakura-chan. Cheer up. I promise when we are done with those bastards who ruined our village, Konoha will be like this place and even better.''he saidm with his usual hyper tone.

Sakura looked at him . She let out a sob and a smile in the same time and her eyes got their usual look again.

''Naruto-kun, I hope so…I hope so.''she said as her memories still lingered to the unfortunate ones that had lost their lives in the war.

They finally made it to a big mansion, it almost seemed like a castle. Outside of it there was a weird sign, that had the name of the mansion on it.

It read:

The Wind Palace

It was not exactly beautiful. It was just weird…but not in a bad way. It was just different than any of the buildings Sakura had seen so far.

It seemed to have huge windows, with huge green and light blue curtains hanging on the inside of them as the wind caressed them and made them swing right and left, back and forth, making them dance in an hypnotizing way.

No wonder, they called it the wind palace, Sakura thought.

Naruto placed his hand on her back kindly, as he motioned to her to enter with him the building.

''The mayor of the village, offered this place to the survivors of the Konoha war, to stay as long as we need it. Normally, it is his cottage, that he uses to stay at summer, cause he says it is much more fresh than his usual nest.''Naruto informed, the admiration obvious in his voice.

''No wonder, with so many huge windows.''Sakura muttered and entered the palace with Naruto guiding her.

He guided her through long long corridors, covered with green carpets and exotic paintings, servants here and there, women prone to serve them, dressed in light kimonos, men dressed in their job custoumes, waiting for orders from their side.

Sakura suddenly felt all so important. It was very kind of the mayor of this village to be so generous and welcoming with the suffering survivors of the war. The climbed up a lot of stairs, since the building was consisted of 5 floors. They reached at the fourth and Naruto nodded at her to follow him in a isolated coridor. He crossed it to reach a white narrow door, which he opened and entered it. Lots of light was coming out of the door.

Sakura blinked in surprise for some moments before following him in.

As soon as she was fully in, the door closed with a noise behind her and she found herself staring at her old friends, all those who had survived the war and now were here as refuges.

Sakura gave them all a shocked look, as her mouth was hanging open.

Naruto chuckled akwardly.

''Sakura, this is the meeting room. Where we all, Konoha ninjas gather to make plans for our attack to the sound dogs at Konoha.''Naruto said, passing a hand through his hair.

Sakura turned and looked at him, thinking of the thing he had just told her then she nodded smiling and turned to look at everyone else who had now stood up and surrounded her to give her welcome hugs and pat her on the shoulder friendly.

A welcome tone was spread all across the room, as Sakura felt so relieved to finally see her old fellow citizens.

''Welcome, Sakura. We are so glad that you are alive!''Kiba said , winking at her happily.

''I am glad to see you all again, too!!!''Sakura said, tears running down her eyes.

Sasuke had made it back to Konoha and he had a breef talk with Orochimaru, to explain him how he had lost the girl on the way and that he couldnt find her, because she managed to get away after their fight that had caused a snow fall.

His story didnt make perfect sense, but he trusted Orochimaru would never put in his mind what had happened between him and the girl on the mountains, so he pretty much had no choice than to believe his made up story.

Then after everyone in the castle was informed of Sasuke's return, he walked straight back to his room where he laid down, thinking of everything that had happened in those few days.

Saya knocked on his door, asking for permission to enter.

Sasuke hearing her soft voice called her in, secretly happy to see the faithful servant again.

''I am so glad that you are back, sir. I was informed however that you lost the girl.''she said trying to hide her joy about the second fact.

Sasuke raised an eye brow and smirked at her.

''No need to hide from me ,Saya.''he said as he got up and gently poked the old woman's shoulder.

''I am glad I am back, too.''he said and he knew he sounded too convincing lying about it.

''I came to see if you needed me anything and also inform you that your personal doctor is waiting in the hall way. I knew you told me to keep his visits secret but I wasnt sure if you'd be willing to accept him right now, so I had to come ask you first.''she said in a breath.

Sasuke's eyes widened in shock as he heard her words.

Damn that woman, sometimes she was too kind for his own good. He pushed her aside and ran out, looking around for the medic.

He saw him , in everyday clothes, as was his usual outfit when hed pay visits to Sasuke at the mansion. The doctor noticed him and faked a smile as he got up and walked towards him.

''Thanks for coming. Please, follow me.''Sasuke said in an typical way as the doctor nodded coldly and calm and followed him in his room.

After Saya had left and both of the two men were left alone, Sasuke locked his door and sat on his bed, looking at the doctor in curiosity.

''I had heard rumours about you going away on a mission but I didnt know when you would return and I thought Id pay a visit to check out since I am afraid I had some news to report without second thought.''the doctor said with a look of compassion in his eyes.

Sasuke nodded impatiently.

''It is ok. I just came back actually. And what news are you talking about? I dont think they could get even worse than the ones you told me when you took my blood tests for a second time.''Sasuke said, as his heart was beating faster.

''Well, Sasuke-sama, I am afraid, that the news are the same, but I had to drop in and let you know that the life span predicted is actually shorter than the one I had guessed initially.

After retaking the analysis, I resulted that your illness is at a very late stage, and I cant be sure of how much more you are going to live, but I am sure that whavever that period is, it is going to be a short one. I am so sorry for bringing you these horrible news.''the doctor said, as a sad look had covered all over his face.

Sasuke got up and dragged the parcel the doc was holding in his hands. He teared it open and started reading. The results werent good at all.

His hands started trembling, but he had taken the same decision a long ago, he knew about his deadly illness even briefly after the attack of Konoha, when everyone had to do a check out for sanitary reasons in Orochimaru's army. The doctor had told Sasuke his results and told him about his illness and Sasuke instantly threatened him to keep everything secret from Orochimaru and the rest. If Orochimaru knew about this, hed wipe him out without second thought. Itd be such a twisted plot to the plans and he couldnt handle it at that point. Not with Sakura under his protection back then. If he was out of the way, then shed be too. He planned to keep her in life, if he coundlt live, at least she could.

The doctor, then from that day and on sent his helper to do blood tests to Sasuke at his house and then he'd send him to hand him in the results. His helper was a doctor, too, but he had less experience and none adressed straightly to , that way, Sasuke had less chances for Orochimaru to find out about all this.

Sadly, Sasuke suffered from the same illness Itachi did. It seemed it ran in the family. And he was quite unlucky to obtain it in his genes, as well.

So tragic, the two kids of a wealthy important family both born with the same illness.

Sasuke placed the papers on the table and looked at the man, hardening his expression to hide his inner pain.

''Thanks for your cooperation so far. I dont think I will need you, anymore. You may go.''he said as he handed out his hand to the helper doc.

The doctor shook it professionaly, the sad look never leaving his face, even though it was semi fake.

Sasuke nodded as the doctor walked slowly out of the room, as he unlocked the door.

He locked it back and fell on his bed, stoic.

The days passed and each passing day the team at the Light Village would work intensely and to the point of exhaustion to put an order to their plans, the army and the stuff they would take with them.

For every plan a, they had a plan b. So it was quite confusing and tiring to organise all the thoughts.

Kiba although insisted it was necessary and it sounded pretty strategical to everyone else so they all agreed, even if not willingly.

A few hours had remained before the journey back to Konoha started for the team, and Sakura was furiously slamming her hands on the table in front of Naruto, asking him enraged the reason why he didnt let her go with them.

''Sakura, calm down!!!After everything you have been through, you'd think I'd let you even step close to those bastards anyway?''he said stepping back scared.

Angry Sakura was too intimidating for the poor Naruto.

''But I am not weak. And I am not a kid, just let me come with you, I promise I wont fail this time, I will only help!''she said shaking his shoulders as tears ran down her eyes.

''I said no, Sakura!''Naruto raised for the first time his voice on her. He couldnt let her come, he had a psychological trauma since the last time they had captured her and with her in the battle field he couldnt focus properly on the battle.

He ran outside of the room, thinking of how he'd get beaten up pretty bad by his pink haired friend, when and if he returned but he couldnt risk her life.

He locked the room and ordered the guards in the building to not let her walk out.

Sakura kept banging and kicking the door.

A few hours later, the mission had left the village and Sakura was still trying to break the wooden barrier in front of her.
