Recap.
"You're going to cure my eyes cherry blossom." He was still looking in her eyes. "So? Are you going to cure them or do I have to hunt Naruto and you're other teammates and kill them?"

Tsunade was worried. Sakura was like a daughter to her but there was another thing that was worrying her. If Itachi finds out who Sakura really is we're going to have an even bigger problem...
Chapter 11:Missing Sakura
Ino were still on there way when they stopped to rest. It didn't take long for an ANBU ninja to catch up with them. Sai recognized him, he was Konoha's fastest ninja.
"Konoha has just received a message from that village's lord. He said he has already signed a peace deal and that there is no need for you two to continue on this mission. Ino, you are dismissed from this mission." Said the ANBU ninja.
"What? But we are almost there. Are you sure we're dismissed? I think we should at least-" Ino didn't have time to finish.
"I said you are dismissed. I'll personally check up on the village." He handed Sai a note and turned back to Ino. "What are you waiting for? Go."
"I'm waiting for Sai. Duh!" she responded.
Sai was reading the note not believing what his eyes were seeing. "I am not going with you" he finally said. "Sakura… has been… kidnapped… Go back to Konoha Ino, please."
She didn't want to go but she didn't want to stay. Seeing him like that made her feel bad. "Alright Sai, take care and bring her back to Konoha." She said that and then left.
He just nodded and then looked back at the note: Sai, Itachi has taken Sakura. You are dismissed from your current mission. Meet up with Naruto and his team, they are going east from where you are, you will be assigned the mission of helping Hinata, Yamato, Sasuke and Naruto in finding Sakura and bringing her back. Don't disappoint me. Good luck…
He felt and an even greater pain strike his heart. Sakura, hang on… I'm coming. He began running to the east, he had to find her quick.

Tsunade was caught up in thoughts and didn't notice Jiraya walking up to her. She was not at the Hokage's tower at her office.
"Is something wrong? I had a bad feeling…" Jiraya didn't finish.
"He toke her. I didn't expect Itachi to take her from Konoha." She finally said.
"Itachi? So he came already? Is it because of her medical skills or did he find out? Because if he found out then she is in danger..." Jiraya was saying went she cut him off.
"No. I doubt he knows. Gaara sent me all the papers he had about her past. I have already burned it all. Now the only ones who know the truth are me, Gaara, Kakashi, you and the elders from Konoha and from Suna. I don't think anyone might tell him…" she said and after a long pause she spoke again. "The only way for him to find out is if he sees her mark so we just have to pray that doesn't happen."
"You can't hide the truth forever. She should have never been in the same team as Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. I know sensei was only trying to hide her but it was a risky choice. You know what she can do and it is just a matter of time before she finds out too. When she turns 18..." Jiraya was once again interrupted.
"I know what will happen! I'm more concerned right now about her living up to turn 18, which happens to be in four days…." She said with an even greater expression.
Jiraya was shocked to know that which only made him even more worried.

Temari was still in Suna. She had been packing her things to go to Konoha when she saw an eagle fly fast past her window. It can't be… that's one of Konoha's faster bird messengers. Something happened. She ran as fast as she could to Gaara's office and when she got there he was reading a piece of paper.
"What are you still doing here?" The Kazekage asked his sister.
"Um… I was packing some things I want to take to Shika's parents…" she hoped he wasn't mad at her for still being in Suna.
"You must leave now for Konoha. Uchiha Itachi has taken Sakura and the hidden village of the leaf might need your help. Tell the Hokage to message me when she hears from the ninjas that we're assigned to rescue Sakura."
Temari knew it was best if she did as he said so she left quickly to Konoha.

"Will you are will you not heal my eyes?" Itachi asked Sakura again. She just looked away thinking of what she should do. "Don't worry. I'll give you some time alone to think." He got up and left the room.
Sakura could hear him locking the door and starting to feel the barrier that formed around her room.
What should I do? Naruto where are you? Sai… please get me out of here. She could feel tears began to form as she thought of Sai.
Flashback
Sakura was swimming fast as he tried to catch up with her. They were at a lake outside Konoha. It was their day off.
"Ahh" she screamed in between giggles as she felt him thug on her foot. She turned around to see him laughing and used the opportunity to get out of the water. She quickly ran.
Sakura was using a blue bikini with little white flowers all over it. Sai was wearing black swim shorts.
"That's not fair." She heard Sai say as he also got out of the water.
When he caught up with her they both fell laughing on the hard ground. They couldn't stop laughing. "Take back what you said or else I'll tickle you" Sai said.
"I'm not taking anything back. You are lazy!!" she provoked.
"We'll see about that" he began to tickle her.
"You guys started the fun without us." They heard Naruto yell.
"Of course, you two we're supposed to be here an hour ago" said Sakura still recovering for the tickling session. She sat down and stared at Hinata and Naruto waiting for them to explain where they were. But instead of that Sai picked her up bridal style and through her in the lake. After doing that he jumped in.
"You talk too much" he said laughing.
"Oh you are so dead!!" She yelled as she started to follow him. Hinata and Naruto got in the water but couldn't stop laughing at Sakura and Sai.

Naruto and his group were running for hours. "It seems they left no tracks after the first we saw leading this way." Yamato said.
Naruto didn't pay attention to Yamato.
"Naruto" Hinata said getting at his side. "I'm sure she is okay. Sakura is a ninja and she knows how to take care of herself."
"I know…" he glared at Sasuke. "It's just that… I don't get why… why Sasuke did this…"
Hinata didn't know what to say to her boyfriend since she was also wondering the same thing. She suddenly felt something. "Byakugan" all her comrades stopped and looked at her. She looked around and then gave a smile. "It's about time you caught up Sai" she finally said.
Sai was now standing in front of them which made Sasuke angry. "Let's go. I know Sakura is Tsunade's apprentice and has already surpassed her but I don't what to leave her one more second with that psycho."
They all nodded and continued going.
