TW: Torture
'Dammit I do not want to go train with that evil wench'
'That is too bad. We have to go or else we will not become strong.'
'Bullshit! We are strong and you know it.'
'We are not strong enough though'
'Whatever you say, hime-sama'
Sakura feels numb. Nothing saddens or gladdens her anymore. She continues to grow stronger, but she must keep her power controlled. If Sakura becomes any more powerful, unwanted attention will face her. Attention that can change her life completely. Protecting herself is the most important thing at the moment.
There are perks to her increasing strength. It allows her to guard Itachi's brother. After all, she did make a promise that she intends to keep. However, Sasuke is not the only boy she is protecting. The heiress will not let Naruto be taken away. If Naruto is captured, then all hope is lost for the world. An organization is seemingly developing with one main goal: gathering jinchuuriki.
As she heads to her destination, Sakura ponders about her powers.
At the Haruno training grounds
"Sakura, what must you do in order to seduce a man or woman?"
"Make eye contact with them and look away with no expression. Walk tall and proud when you leave them and brush past them. If it did not already work, then cast a genjutsu on the person when you touch them."
"Good, now demonstrate it with Makono here. He needs to be executed and you need more training."
Sakura looks over to Makono Haruno, a boastful playboy. She figures that Mebuki wants him dead for making the clan look weaker. Pride is an admired trait among the Haruno clan; it usually signifies power but should not be used by those with ill intentions. Sakura follows the command of her mother.
"Of course."
She walks over to where he was training. Her steps trigger Makono's attention and he performs earth jutsu. Focusing on the soothing chakra, she lets it flow throughout the peaceful tree. Abruptly, she feels electricity jolt through her center. Her heart momentarily stops, then the tree is permanently still. Without precise chakra control, one could kill themselves. She walks past Makono and brushes his arm, setting off a genjutsu.
Makono blinks and open his eyes. All in his sight are cherry blossoms floating through the air and falling to the ground. A chilly breeze wisps by as he stands up. Not yet fully aware of his dilemma, he turns to see the young heiress.
"Hello, Sakura."
The girl remains stagnant under the older man's gaze.
"Your death won't be as torturous if you confess your sins."
Makono attempts to move but a force prevents him from doing so.
"Confess your sins."
"No, sorry, princess."
Sakura disappears right in front of his eyes. Suddenly, a pain courses through Makono and he shrieks.
A kunai is lodged into his arm. She slowly cuts the strong arm open. Like a stream, blood rushes down it and splashes onto the grass. Sakura's hand begins to reach for the other arm but his screams stops her.
"Stop! Please!"
"Confess your sins," Sakura says in the same melodically monotone voice her mother has.
Her shuriken is now lodged into his other arm, dragging across it. The bastard's eyes sting with tears as they urge to fall.
"I played with the women of our clan! I made them weak! Please spare me!"
Sakura grows suspicious of him so she interrogates him further.
"What else are you hiding Ma-ko-no?"
"Nothing at all, I swear!"
"Oh really?"
A resonating crack briefly interrupts the silent area. The blood from his wretched body stain the child's hands. Makono screams in agony.
"Fine! I got Akamena pregnant!"
At that moment, Sakura decides the fate of her relative. Like the once tranquil tree, Makono Haruno is terminated.
Outside the genjutsu
To all at the training grounds, it looked as though Makono fainted. People brushed it off and continued what they were doing. Sakura was already kneeling in front of Mebuki-sama.
"Sakura. You missed something."
