REVIEW!!

Sai's P.O.V.

I hadn't been here before. I went to the base once, but never to the village.

The people here didn't trust foreigners…It was obvious where their loyalty lied.

Even though Sakura warned us to remove our headbands, there people were already aware of our shinobi status. It was as if they were all trained to see through deception. Any emotion you portrayed upon your face, they would read it swiftly and accurately. There was no doubt in my mind that these people knew who we were.

Kakashi P.O.V.

Sakura had almost demanded I take off my mask. She insisted it would give the villagers a motive to infer I was a shinobi. But of course me being me, I created controversy by saying they wouldn't notice if they weren't shinobi…I wish I would have followed her instructions.

Normal P.O.V.

Sakura had removed her headband and hidden it away in her small gray backpack. She had been here once before, and she knew exactly how to perform.

Her pastel pink hair was too obvious to be shown around such a suspicious village, so she created a Henge.

Dark brown hair that had been cropped short took the place of her original long, pink hair. Her empty emerald eyes had transformed into a more hazel color. Sakura's height had also been alternated. Without shoes, Sakura was around 5'6, but the young women in this village were much shorter. Therefore, Sakura took the liberty of making herself a whole three inches shorter. Her chakra was also masked in case of passing shinobi.

Sakura's outfit matched the village's current style of clothing: a faded, ankle length skirt and a similar color shirt with shinobi sandals. All together, Sakura was just a normal twenty year old that had lived in this forsaken place all her life.

As she strolled across the town, no one even bothered to speak to her. There was a glare or leer here and there, but nothing more. These people were much to infatuated with the newly discovered intruders on the other side of town.

Sai's voice silently echoed through Sakura's almost invisible ear piece as she walked through a shopping center. "Sakura-san," it said. "What is the plan?"

Sakura answered quietly and clearly as if she had done this two million times. She figured if her disguise was flawless, why throw it away by speaking?

"I will be at a bar. My shadow clones will be at many of them too. Your assignment is to find them and allow them to lead you to me."

There was no answer from either Sai or Kakashi, but Sakura had enough experience with the two to know they understood her order.

Sakura continued to wander around the village, just waiting for the clubs to open. She went all over the town gathering any rumors or information that was floating around. There were many about Orochimaru and Sasuke, but none of them were even close to believable. Some stated that Orochimaru was the new hokage of Konoha and Sasuke had defeated all of Akatsuki single handedly. These were obviously untrue. Number one, Tsunade is the hokage of Konoha and number two, Akatsuki is still troubling Konoha and many other shinobi villages.

Sakura herself had plenty of experience with Akatsuki…

Flashback

Two months after Sakura's ANBU becoming, she was assigned to yet another S-class mission involving Akatsuki. Her team consisted of Hyuuga Neji, Akemi Tenten, and Nara Shikamaru. Their mission was to ambush two unknown Akatsuki members and kill them immediately; leaving no evidence of them ever being alive. It was to be a fight to the death battle, but the team was fortunate enough to have been paired up with none other than the two weakest members: Deidara and Tobi.

Tobi was powerless once he was put against Shikamaru and Tenten. His chakra handling barely even compared to the Jounin rank! No one was surprised when he was defeated. Sakura and Neji's brawl with Deidara was the exact opposite though.

Sakura and Neji had become a pretty constant pairing among the ANBU squads. The two fought well together and knew each others strengths and weaknesses. There relationship was frail still. They were only familiar to each other during a fight.

Sakura's Flashback P.O.V.

Tobi's chakra signature was abnormally familiar. I recognized it from a specific someone: Kakashi. Chakra is like a scent. No one has the same smell, nor does it completely ever fade. It is the same with chakra. Once I was aware of whom the masked person was I quickly regretted not bringing Kakashi. He deserved to at least be notified that his friend was still among the living. Yes, the masked figure of Akatsuki was indeed the dead Uchiha Obito.

Deidara was astounded by the fact that Obito was indeed someone from Konoha. That was when his defenses were down and exactly when I chose to strike. I was very careful in choosing how I would kill this young man. His heart was so full of life; I wished to give him a chance to live out whatever was keeping him from committing suicide.

I selected a forbidden jutsu from the many in the library of my mind. It was one I had created myself. I named it 'Last Goodbye.' It gave its victim one last chance to murder the person they hated most, but this could only occur if this person was an avenger. It also gave me a chance to see what changed the person's heart. Deidara's was clear to me; as if he wanted to tell someone of his experience.

It was his younger sister. She was only eight when she was killed. Even I found that to young to die. Her name Aliaya; Ali for short. Unlike Deidara's bright blonde hair, Aliaya had a golden honey color. Her eyes were a darker blue, like the ocean. Deidara described her voice as the wind: soft for one moment and harsh at another. Yet she was not a shinobi. In fact, she was the first among her clan to choose not to become one. She did not believe it was proper. I began to wonder if she regretted that decision when I saw the cruel way she was killed.

It was dark outside; maybe about eleven or twelve o'clock. The moon was hidden behind a cloud making it pitch black. This night was perfect for an assassination…

Deidara and Aliaya's parents had died during a battle against another village. This left Deidara (a well known shinobi in his village) to supervise her. But this night, Deidara was out on an important mission and couldn't be there to protect his little Ali.

Four men entered his home that night. They were desperately in need of food and water, but these men were vile creatures and when they found Aliaya soundly tucked in her bed, they could not resist their urges.

The men tip-toed into her room to not frighten her; for if they woke her, she would surely scream and blow their cover. As the night went on, all four men raped the poor child. And as if corrupting this little girl's soul was not enough, they murdered her. When Deidara returned from his mission an hour after Aliaya's brutal killing, he went to check on her and found a battered child lying naked on the floor. He knew what had occurred that night and blamed himself for not being there. It was at that point Deidara decided to become a missing-nin. He vowed to avenge his sister; his little Ali.

When I had completely read Deidara's heart, I realized that Inner Sakura was ramming against the walls of her cage. I could feel my emotions slowly creeping out and coming back to me, but I refused them. I simply closed my eyes and locked them securely in their place with Inner Sakura.

Once I opened my eyes, I saw a defenseless Hyuuga Neji fall to the ground. Deidara had killed him in the place of the man who had slaughtered Aliaya. I knew my jutsu had its flaws, but I never gave them any thought. I believed Neji died for the sake of the mission and I believed it was fair.

Of course I lost a great fighting partner, but that was nothing compared to what Tenten lost. She begged me to heal her teammate; her fiancé, but I hade to explain to her it was too late for even my medical skills.

Flashback End

Normal P.O.V.

That event occurred many years ago. Tenten seeing her fiancé die right before her eyes, was absolutely devastated and resigned from her shinobi title. Everyone was devastated by his death…Everyone but Haruno Sakura. She never felt anything for anyone.

I'M GONNA CRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hated writing (and typing) Deidara, Aliaya, and Neji's deaths. It burns. Am I going to hell because of this?? 

I'm sorry to all those fans out there. Trust me, Deidara is my favorite character and I absolutely hated the way I killed his sister. AHHHHH!!!

Ok, Now I've decided to end this on a funny note. And I quote this form one of my friends!!!

'Eat safe. Use condiments.'
