Hey no characters are pointing out the obvious so I get to do it. I don't own Naruto or any Naruto-related things. The plot is mine though. Well, review! Please! I'm dyin' here! I don't know whether to continue with this or not :'( seriously, even if they're flames, throw me a bone. Can't do better unless people tell me I'm doing stuff wrong! …And now that I've done my begging, back to the story!

Sasuke POV

Shit! I thought as I leapt away. Ok, think Uchiha. Sakura would kill them if they left her and she probably won't wake up for a while so I should be fine for a while. At least until Kakashi has a chance to set the dogs.

"Sasuke-kun? Why are you running? What happened?" I growled at Karin.

"I thought you left."

"To give you space, like you wanted." We just kept running and Suigetsu quickly joined us. "They spotted me after our little disagreement, Karin. They probably won't be catching up to us for a while though." And then a giggle I hadn't heard in a long time rang through the air.

"Think again, Sasuke." I heard Karin yelp and another familiar laugh. I turned just in time to see a flash of bubblegum pink, but I was instantly distracted by my more immediate problem. Three chakra signatures coming toward Suigetsu and I. Two of them I've known for so long they'll be forever ingrained in my subconscious.

"Shit." I said. "They caught up faster than I thought."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo Oo

Sakura POV

"Sakura…Sakura…" The voice was familiar. Kakashi?

"C'mon Sakura-chan! Wake up!" Now that one was definitely Naruto. He's so quiet though. How unlike him. Kind of nice actually…

"HEY UGLY! WAKE YOUR ASS UP!" Now that got me going.

"DAMNIT SAI! WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!" I shouted and punched in his direction, only succeeding in punching a wall that was previously behind him and making my hand bleed. Healing it I turned on the three of them with a glare that would've made Sasuke applaud. "Why the hell did I just get such a rude wakeup call?"

"Fine, Ugly, if you don't want to go after Uchiha then go back to sleep." Sai said, turning away and heading out the door.

"Damnit! Why didn't you say something sooner?! Where'd he go?!"

"Follow me." Kakashi said as he leapt from the window and across the rooftops of the buildings. I followed after him, using chakra to make my leaps faster and wider. It wasn't long before I felt their signatures.

"I got Karin." I stated. No way was I going to let someone else hand that red-haired bitch's ass to her. She's pissed me off way too much. I shielded my own chakra from them and waited, slowly gaining.

"They spotted me after our little disagreement, Karin. They probably won't be catching up to us for a while though." I heard Sasuke say. I couldn't help it. I laughed slightly and unshielded my chakra. I leapt on at Karin.

"Think again, Sasuke." I said as I heard the little bitch yelp when I pulled her down. I giggled again as I brought her down through the trees, instantly jumping away when we hit the ground. Immediately I took in my chakra amount.

Not much. Just enough for a few punches and that jutsu. I should've slept more. I let myself get too drained while I was working…

It'll be enough to put her in her place.

Damn straight!

I went after her with a punch that would've made most men weep in pain, mostly testing her. She was slow. I got her in the face without even trying. This was going to be easier than I thought! She was stunned for a second then came at me. I ducked her kick and blocked her kuni with my own, the clash of metal on metal met my ears and I grinned.

Finally putting up a fight. Too bad I actually want to get this over with and help hunt down Sasuke.

Leaping back, I fisted my hair at just above shoulder length and slashed my kuni through it. The sound reminded me of the chunin exams all those years ago, the first one from before Sasuke and Naruto left. I shook off the memory and threw my hair as close as I could to her staring at me, puzzled, and started firing off hand signs at a rapid pace, not even thinking their names like I had to do when I first created it.

Tch. Idiot.

"Sakura Ruto wa o Rokku no jutsu!" I cried and slammed my hands to the ground. My hair melted into earth below us, changing color to match it. I couldn't help but smile at her dumbfounded face. Who knew she was such an idiot?! I overestimated her.

She cried out when they grabbed her, Sakura tree roots springing up and wrapping themselves up her legs and pulled her to her knees and up her wrists and arms. Despite my fatigue, I smiled coldly. The jutsu had used up more chakra than I thought. There was also a good distance between us though.

We'll have to make this quick.

One punch? Please? C'mon, break those idiotic glasses and tell her she was an idiot for thinking that she could ever get Sasuke! Please? Add insult to injury?

Won't do any harm I guess. She's going to die anyway and it's true. I doubt Sasuke could ever love anyone but revenge.

It still hurt, but I learned long ago to accept that fact. He loved revenge, and would do anything to get it. I walked forward and delivered one punch. A pretty damn good one too, for barely using any chakra. Broke her nose and those annoying glasses.

"Wow. You look so much better now! Half your nose on the left side of your face really suits you!" I exclaimed. "Before you die you should know something, and it's my pleasure to tell you. I'm adding insult to injury as well as letting you know the truth. Sasuke doesn't love you, or anyone else. The only thing he's ever loved is revenge ever since his family died. It's partially not your fault. Partially. You're also an annoying bitch."

I twirled my kuni, wondering how to kill her. I was caught between repeatedly stabbing her, slitting her throat, and breaking her neck. Morbid, I know, and probably a little bit awful that I didn't feel any remorse or even sick at the fact of killing someone, but I recently became a Jounin and my next step was Anbu. There were going to be assassinations, and truth be told she's been on our list for a while. As weak as she is, she was with Sasuke and Suigetsu. That made her a very expendable target.

"How cruel." Said a male voice behind me. I recognized the voice before I felt the chakra or saw his face and stiffened.

RUN! Inner and I both shouted as I took a leap for the trees. I couldn't take him on. I was definitely too weak. It'd be like me taking on Karin if I had killed her with that first punch. He was in front of me before my feet hit the tree branch. He pushed me against it and blinked at me, activating it, the Mengekyou Sharingan. I knew what would happen before it did. I looked at Uchiha Itachi square in the face and spat in a very unladylike manner before falling under the spell of the first kaleidoscope Sharingan form.
