Here is the new chapter! Sorry for the delay. I didn't have any wi-fi and today I managed to get some access to Internet. I'll be uploading more chapters if I manage to get some wifi conection. Sorry because of this chapter being this short. I want to make them longer, but I don't know what to add without it seeming strange or bad. I've also been tempted to add some deisaku or sasodei, but I won't add it. I'll focus on sasosaku as the main pairing. By the way, if there are any secondary pairings that you would like to see in this fanfic then just tell and I'll do my best. I would like to thank all the readers. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and some special thanks to Narutoshugofan1, I hope you really enjoy this chapter! Thank you for your reviews, they really made me happier and made me want to write more this fanfic! Anyways, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Naruto.
"Naruto!" Ino shouted as she ran towards the blond boy, who was sitting down on a bench with a sad expression. "Oh, hi Ino" He said as soon as he saw Ino, forcing a smile to appear on his lips. Ino looked at him without saying anything. Creating an uncomfortable silence. "So, what do you want, Ino?" Naruto asked. "Oh! You won't believe what we saw during the mission!" Ino said with a happy voice. "What was it?" Naruto immediately asked, excited by whatever they had seen. "We were going to Lord Yukio's house to rest because we hadn't managed to finish our mission during the day and when we got there it was completely destroyed!" Ino started saying. "Oh" Naruto muttered. "How can Ino be so excited with that?" He thought. "And the thing is, that when we saw the house destroyed there were three ninjas there, all with akatsuki cloaks" Ino continued saying. Naruto's eyes lit up with curiosity again. "And one of them had bright pink hair, just like Sakura's" Ino finished saying with excitement. "So Sakura is alive?" Naruto said. He felt as if the world had stopped for a minute. "It's only a possibility, but it's quite strong" Ino added. "That's wonderful!" Naruto shouted, happy again. "Let's tell the others!" He said with an enormous grin on his face. Ino nodded and they soon went running through the streets telling everyone they knew.
"And that's what happened, Tsunade-sama" Asuma and Shikamaru said to the Hokage. Tsunade closed her eyes and walked around the room. "But are you both sure of this? You didn't see her face" She said after some seconds of thinking. "There is a very strong possibility" Shikamaru added. Tsunade again started to walk around the room. "I'm happy that she may be alive, but until she isn't seen completely then she will remain as 'dead'. But I will add to the bingo book that there is an akatsuki member with pink hair" Tsunade said. Asuma and Shikamaru nodded. "You may leave" Tsunade said. "Yes, Tsunade-sama" Asuma and Shikamaru said before leaving Tsunade's office.
"It's already nightime" I stated as Deidara, Sasori and I continued walking through the woods. "Danna, can we stop walking for now and rest?" Deidara asked Sasori. I blushed "He just called him Danna!" I thought as I blushed "Why?" I asked myself. "You are already tired, brat? Well, okay then. We will stop walking now" Sasori said. Deidara and I nodded and we were soon sitting down on the grass. "I will watchout for any enemy ninjas" Sasori said "You brats sleep" He then finished saying. "Thank you Danna" Deidara said immediately after Sasori had finished speaking. I only nodded and lied down on the grass, and tried to fall asleep, but didn't manage to. I couldn't stop thinking about Lord Yukio's face as he was killed. I started feeling very guilty again. I closed my eyes again, trying to get the dreadful images away from my head. "Are you unable to sleep?" I heard a voice say several minutes later. I closed my eyes, trying to appear as if I was sleeping. "Don't bother, I know you are awake, brat. You are too noisy" I heard again. I turned around and saw Sasori out of his puppet, lying against a tree. I blushed slightly. I didn't expect him to be out of the puppet. "He's so cute" I 'heard' inner me think. "No he isn't!" I immediately 'responded' her. I then noticed Sasori looking at me. "Have I said that out loud?" I asked myself. "Nevermind, why are you unable to sleep?" He then asked. I stared at him. "Is it allright if I tell him whhy I can't sleep? Won't it make me seem weak?" I thought. I decided to put an end to my mental debate and I answered. Not caring what he thought. "I feel guilty" I only said. He closed his eyes and didn't react in any way. After some seconds without saying anything he opened his mouth to answer. "Well-". "That's allright Sakura-san!" Deidara said, not letting Sasori say anything. "Brat! You interrupted me!" Sasori shouted. "Oh, I'm sorry Sasori-Danna" Deidara immediately apologized. "Don't do it again" Sasori added. I couldn't help laughing. This was too comical. Sasori and Deidara immediately looked at me. "Why are you laughing?" Deidara asked with a smile on his face. "I didn't expect akatsuki members to be like this" I said, while giggling a bit., suddenly feeling comfortable around them. "Heh" Sasori said as Deidara grinned. We remained silent for some minutes, this time in a comfortable silent. "Sakura-san" Deidara suddenly said. I looked at him. "You don't have to think too much over it. After all we ninjas all end up killing. The first kill is always the one that makes us feel worse" He said. "Just forget it" Sasori then added. I looked at the two ofthem. "How can I feel so comfortable around them! They are criminals!" I thought. I then started thinking about what they had said. "It is true that all ninjas kill, the ninjas that work for Konoha also do it. Then why are only some ninjas treated as criminals for killing?" I thought. I dismissed the debate for later, since I sensed that it was going to be a long one. "Thank you Sasori-san, Deidara-san. That really helped" I said with a smile. "I'll go to sleep now" I then said. "Good night" I heard them both reply. I closed my eyes and immediately fell asleep.
I woke up several hours later, when the sun was starting to rise. I looked around me and saw Deidara also starting to wake up. "So you brats are awake. Then we will continue walking towards the base" He said emotionessly. "My name is Sakura!" I thought angry as the three of us started again to walk to the Akatsuki base.
We arrived several hours later after walking non-stop. "Let's tell Pein that we finished our mission" Sasori said- Deidara and I nodded and we started following him in complete silence. It was driving me crazy, since we had already been in absolute silence as we went back to the base. "Why are they so silent!" I shouted in my mind. I looked at the stone walls that made the halls of the base. "It's so different from Konoha" I thought with sadness. I continued looking at the corridors, trying to memorize the way of getting to Pein's office. "Right, left, left, right" I thought in my mind as I continued walking. Several minutes later we finally arrived to Pein's office. After knocking several times and hearing him respond with a "Come in" We entered the room.
Pein was in exactly the same position as he was when I had seen him for the first time. "Does he even move?" I asked myself. "Did you finish the mission?" He then asked. "Yes, Pein-sama" Sasori said "We succesfully eliminated Lord Yukio" He continued saying. "Good job. Just as expected" He said "When will our next mission be?" Deidara asked. "I will explain now" He started saying. "And why is that?" I then asked. "I've been reading about your skills, Haruno Sakura, and even though the ones you possess are impressive you will have to train more to fight against stronger enemies" He explained. I stared at him. "So he says I'm weak?" I thought angry again. "This is why I decided that you will be training with several akatsuki members until you get stronger. The training will, of course, be in turns. Because you don't control well weapons you will start tomorrow with Hidan. I will inform you of any changes" He finished explaining. "You may go now" Pein then added. The three of us nodded and left the room.
