Sakura: 8 years old

Itachi: 14 years old (Just for people who kept asking)

Goodbyes and Hellos

Sakura was walking side by side with Itachi, and she already knew that Amichi was out to visit the

Uchihas again because they invited him over again. "So, why exactly are you always followed by

girls?", Sakura asked Itachi. "Well, you know how most girls are, they judge people by how they

look.", he said to her. "Yeah, but there's also a good thing that comes out of this.", she said. "Yeah,

what is it?", he asked her. "I've seen a few guys with skimpy clothes in the crowd.", she said to him.

He stared at her for a while. Then, they both broke out laughing. And it was a huge surprise

because he never laughed in such a way before. They soon reached his home and they entered

both. Everyone was talking in the living room. "Well, seems like you two are good friends Sakura.",

Mikoto said to Sakura happily. "Please, not even if his life depended on it.", she said, knowing it

was a lie. Itachi looked down at her and she looked up at him. She was thinking and she then

broke the eye contact. "Sakura, feel free to look around if you want, but don't get lost, sweetie.",

Mitoko said to her. She smiled and just set out again. Itachi followed her. "Where do you want to

look first?", Itachi asked. "I'm not sure, but I just wanna find a place where I can read at peace.",

she said to him. So, he took her to a queit place, which was actually an extra room that the Uchihas

had. She went on the sofa, sat, and opened her book and read. Itachi sat next to her. She then

looked up to him. "Why do you keep following me?", she asked him. "I just don't wanna go listen

to them talk.", he said to her. "Well, why don't you go to your room, or train your brother?", she

asked him. "My brother is a waste of time to train, he takes too long to understand something.", he

said to her. "What about your room?", she asked him. "Hey, I get to stay wherever I want, don't

forget, this is my place.", Itachi said to her, making a point. She sighed and just continued reading.

"So, how much have you figured out about your bloodline?", he asked her. "Not much.", she said.

Itachi thought for a while and soon said something. "How would you feel if I left?", he asked her. "I

wouldn't care, you're not my problem.", Sakura said not taking her eyes off of her book. "Oh, is

that how you feel?", he asked her. "Yup, it's mind and matter, I don't mind and you don't matter.",

she said to him. Itachi stared at her for awhile, "So then, you like Sasuke more?", he asked her. "I

don't even know him, but he's probably no better. Why do you ask?", she asked him. "What idea

are you getting exactly? You are a mere child, it would never work out between us, I'm too much

older than you.", he said to her. "I didn't say anything about that.", she said to him. After a while,

she heard Amichi call out to her, which meant that they were leaving already. She closed her book

and was leaving the room. "Sakura.", Itachi called out to her. She then turned around and looked at

him. Her aqua green eyes looked into his onyx ones. It seemed as though they were hypnotized just

looking in eachother's eyes. "Goodbye.", he said to her. She smiled and left the room. Itachi sighed,

he felt he needed to do what he was going to do as soon as possible, because the longer he stayed,

the more attached to her he got. he didn't know why but he had some kind of connection with her.

That was the last time he would ever be in the village as a protector of it.

8 Years Later

It has been 8 years since the village was considered a safe place. It has been 8 years since the

Uchiha massacre. Sasuke was the only survivor and Sakura couldn't believe it. But, she knew that

everything fit perfeclty. She once felt that her and Itachi would be closer as friend but she knew she

was wrong. 'I didn't like him much anyway.', she thought to herself. She was 16 and was a very

beautiful woman. She had her hair just below her bottom and she had now developed orange

streaks on her pink hair, but it only made her look even more beautiful. Her bangs went over her

eyes and her side bangs were just below her shoulders. She also had a body that any man would

kill for. She was now a medic nin and was the most powerful woman ever to live. Sakura now

officially knew everything there is to know about her blood line. She was unique, but she was not

really considered a human with so much power. She had varieties of powers that she only had. She

had read the whole book and she knew everything there was on how to control them. She was an

extrodinary woman, but she had a power that she never knew she had as a child. When, she

reached a certain limit of age, she would stay immortal, and the only way she coul pass it to another

was if they drank her blood. She found out in the book and agreed to herself that she would let no

person go through immortality. She was afraid that they would regret it. And ever since her

remaining family, Amichi died she had not cried since she was 10 years old.

"Hey Sakura! We got a new mission! C'mon we gotta go!", a jumpy Naruto called out. "I'm going

already Naruto! Just calm down!", Sakura called out to him. She ran over to him along with

Sasuke. She was wearing black hip huggers and a navy blue long sleeved shirt with a black skull

belt and wore her hair in a messy hairbun and let her bangs out, she had never wore her hair down

for some reason. "Good morning Naruto, good morning Sasuke.", she said to them. "Hey Sakura.

You look cute today.", Naruto said happily. Sakura just smiled and blushed. "And how are you

Sasuke?", she asked politely. He just nodded. "What's wrong Sasuke? You're always so quiet.

You can tell me.", she said and she put her hand on top of his hair. He just stared at her. She took

her hand off of his hair and stared at him. "Well, I can't make you do anything you don't want to,

but I'm always here for you okay?", she said to him holding his chin. Sasuke could tell she was not

one of his many girls and she wants to help. But, he knew he couldn't go soft on anyone. So, they

all went to the bridge and waited for their, always-late sensei, Kakashi Hatake. They waited for

hours until he finally arrived. "Sorry I'm late, I had to--", Kakashi started but got cut off by Naruto

with, "Liar!". "You didn't even let me finish.", Kakashi said. "Does it really matter? We already

know them all Kakashi-sensei.", Sakura said to him. "All of what exactly?", he asked her. "All of

your lame excuses.", Sakura said. Kakashi just smiled at them. "Okay then, today, our mission will

be A-ranked...again. We have to look for a missing nin. His name is Tsuyaku. He has been a

missing nin for five years now and he has stolen ancient scrolls that wee need to find before he

opens them.", Kakashi said. "What happens when he opens them?", Naruto asked. "Naruto, the

scrolls that he stole are from all hokages. They have forbidden techniques that if he finds out, he'll

probably destroy all of the villages. Not just ours.", Kakashi said. "Does that answer your question

genius?", Sakura asked sarcastically. Naruto just bkushed. "Okay, so where do we start looking?",

Sasuke asked him. "In the forest. He's in there somewhere, but he's heading toward a village, we're

unsure of which one.", he said. "Oh great, we're going to blindly look for a missing nin.", Sakura

added sarcastically. "Don't worry, at least you won't have to be bored. Because, you'll all be

looking for him no matter how long it takes.", he said to his squad.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Found him!", Naruto shouted out to everyone, clearly blowing his cover. "NARUTO!!!", they all

shouted at him angrily. "Great job genius! You blew our cover! I swear Naruto, you might be 16 on

the outside but on the inside you're still 12!", Sakura shouted at him angrily. "That's something we

all agree on.", Sasuke said. They were now chasing Tsuyaku all over the forest. 'Dammit. If I don't

do something fast, they're gonna decapitatate me!', he thought to himself angrily. He then made four

water clones, since they were near a lake and went in different directions. They all paused and

looked at where they all went. "Split up!", Kakashi ordered, so they did. they all went to different

clones. Sakura caught up with one easily and when she was right behind him, she threw a kunai.

The clone then vanished. 'Damn.' she thought. She then felt a sharp pain on her back, she was

shocked at how much it hurt, but soon, she fainted. "What the hell did you do?!", a man called out.

"What? I thought it was a spy.", another said. "What do we do now? You know... we can always

burry her, right?", the man said. "Oh, shut up, Sasori, she's not dead, you just struck her too hard

un.", the man said. "Then what do you suggest we do Deidara, why do you even care?", Sasori

asked Deidara. "Because, Akatsuki asked us not to kill her. How do you think he'll react when we

tell him that we killed his only hope of a nurse un? Not to mention, she can heal my arms un.",

Deidara said to Sasori. "Fine then. But why can't you carry her?", he asked him. "Because... I have

no use of my arms yet!!! Do you still have common sense un? Or did you turn that into a peice of

wood too?", Deidara asked him rudely. "You are such an ass.", Sasori said to him. Deidara just

sighed, "Just carry her back alright? One more work out of you and I'm making a fire out of you

un.", Deidara said to him. Sasori just growled and carried her back to the headquarters.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Lord Akatsuki, we got her un.", Deidara said to a different man. "Good. Amarei, lead me to her.",

he told a woman. The woman had baby blue hair and dark blue eyes. She bowed first to him, then

she lead him to a room. When they arrived, Amarei opened the door and there, Sakura was still

knocked out from the blow. A female nurse had dressed her in a white, plain, silky spagehtti strap

dress that was just above her knees and her hair was just below her hips and now in a braid and

left her bangs out. She looked like she was sleeping and her bangs were covering her face.

Akatsuki stared at her. She had very strange hair. He then raised a hand and swept her bangs to

the side now staring at her face. Sakura then opened her aqua green eyes and stared at the people

in the room which were Deidara, Sasori, Amarei, and Akatsuki himself. Sakura stared at them all

with wide eyes. "Hello there little one.", Akatsuki said to her. Then, she heard more steps of

someone and approached them. When she saw who it was she had her eyes even wider. "Itachi...",

Sakura said quietly.
