Blossom of Konoha
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YAY TO ALL OF THOSE THAT REVIEWED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! (Gives out hugs) And three cheers for avalanche1! Thanks so much! Cha! Oh, and hooray for everyone except EroEro-Kitsune. Your review did not make any sense in the least, and if you are reading this, please NEVER EVER review my story ever again. EVER. Please. Heheheheheheh… Now, would someone give me a cookie so I can make the next chapter really wacky?
A/N: Only one person said that they mind Zakura, so if you also think you don't like her, please tell me. If you don't mind… Just tell me anyway.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Orochimaru-sama, I have come back." Kabuto smirked, entering Orochimaru's lair.
" Very good… now, tell me what you have heard." Kabuto reported the story Tsunade had told.
" So, Orochimaru-sama? What would you like me to do?" Orochimaru smirked.
" Follow me." Orochimaru lead Kabuto to a rather large room with a large machine.
Orochimaru stepped back to admire his work.
" I think if I give this thing a few tweaks, I could extract that force from those two girls. Kabuto, when the time comes, I need you to fetch Sakura, as well as her cousin, Zakura. I believe those two could very well bring me even more power than I ever imagined, as well as my arms. Well, you're dismissed." His eyes gleamed with anticipation as he went to work. (I don't know how he does it, so I'm just writing this for the story's sake) Kabuto nodded, and leapt off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke felt odd walking around without the energetic pink-haired kunoichi. He had gotten so used to her presence, it was as if she were a part of him. He wandered around until he bumped into Zakura.
" O-oh! I'm so sorry!" Zakura stammered. " I didn't see you." (A/N: She is not a fan girl. Please note that.)
" That's okay. Where's Sakura?" He asked. Zakura smirked.
" She had some business to take care of, such as beating up hopeless fan girls, or at least that's what she said." She laughed. " Well, I'll be off!" She turned away.
" Wait." Sasuke grabbed her arm. She turned around.
" What?"
" Tell Sakura that she's welcome to beat up any fan girls she wants. If she has problems, she can come to me." Sasuke smirked. Zakura nodded happily.
" Okay!" She walked away, leaving the Uchiha alone again. Sasuke walked to a small garden, with a cherry blossom tree. He picked up a petal and admired it. It was beautiful, yet fragile. The slightest touch would hurt it. He put it on the ground and looked at the large tree.
" Darn… I should be training." He mumbled to nobody in particular. Yet something told him to stay where he was and think. But of what, he had absolutely no idea. A crunch sounded from behind him. He took out a kunai and whirled around, only to find Sakura.
" Hey! Why'd ya do that? I was just coming to see you. But I guess I'm not very welcome." She laughed.
" No. It's okay." Sasuke said quietly, which was unusual. Sakura smiled and sat down on the bench next to him.
" Zakura told me what you said." She said after a moment. " I had a good laugh when she told me that." She chuckled lightly. Sasuke stared at her. "What?"
" Nothing." He looked away. The two sat on the bench under the cherry blossom tree, listening to the animals and watching the wind pick up the petals and carry them away, dancing in the air.
" Why aren't you training like usual?" She asked, awkwardly. He shrugged.
" I just don't feel like it." He mumbled. She looked surprised.
" YOU? NOT training? That's hilarious! For all I know, you're a clone Sasuke and the real one is off training while you stall me because you… you probably still think I'm troublesome." She looked down. Sasuke looked at her again.
" No…" He looked down awkwardly. "I guess… you're okay." Sakura gave a half grin.
" I see. Well, I guess I shouldn't be bothering you anymore. See you!" She got up before Sasuke could say anything and left. Naruto hopped out from the tree. (O.O)
" Hey, Sasuke-teme! Why didn't you two kiss? It's taking long enough! Sheesh!" The blonde ninja crossed his arms and frowned. Sasuke glared at him." Why would we kiss? We're just…friends." He said the last words a little quietly. Naruto sighed.
" Man, I bet you're even thicker than me!" Both boys glared at each other. But you see, this time, Naruto was actually right. Imagine, Sasuke, smartest kid in class, village heartthrob, last of the Uchiha other than his mass murderer brother, actually more stupid than Naruto. Naruto, of all people! Really! I mean, I'm not saying he's stupid or anything, but still… No, really?
Sasuke stared blankly at him.
" Thicker than you? You're so thick, you can't even tell you're stupid!" Sasuke laughed bitterly. Naruto frowned.
" Aw, come on! You know what I mean! I mean, I kissed Hinata before you kissed anyone! That's GOT to count for something in the romance department… but you can't count anything in a fictional department store, unless, you're counting using your imagination in a fictional department store! Yeah!" Sasuke sweat dropped.
" Okay…" Naruto ignored him and continued.
" Well, you know what I mean, right, Sasuke-teme? Sasuke? SASUKE? ARGH! AT LEAST HELP ME DOWN FROM THE TREE! WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU, SAUSKE?" Of course, Sasuke was nowhere to be found.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke watched Sakura start training with Tsunade from atop a tree.
" Now, Sakura. Today, we're just going to review a few healing techniques, then I want you to tell me about that healing jutsu that I told you to deliver to Suna." She smiled. Sakura shrugged. Sasuke was slightly surprised. The only times he had seen Sakura shrug that was were when she was suspicious, or simply didn't care, and in this situation, Sasuke had no clue why Sakura would not care about what Tsunade said, and even less why she would be suspicious of her teacher. Then, it hit him.
" Of course!" He whispered. " Tsunade was the one that gave us the scroll, and she wouldn't have risked anything, meaning she already knows that jutsu! And the only reason she would be asking Sakura about it now, would be if…" Sasuke frowned. "That this Tsunade is an imposter." Sakura must have heard him, or at least she was thinking the same thing, because at that very moment, she threw a large boulder at her sensei. 'Tsunade' easily dodged.
" Sakura! What do you think you are doing?" She yelled. Sakura smirked.
" Show me your real identity, or I will not hesitate to kill you." Sasuke smirked. Now, that was new.
" What are you talking about, Sakura-chan?" 'Tsunade' frowned. Sakura smirked again.
" First of all, Tsunade already knows that jutsu. She wouldn't ask me about it, and she wouldn't talk to me… like that. Second, I asked her not to call me 'Sakura-chan' quite a while ago. She hasn't called me that anyway. Only once, and it doesn't fit her personality. (I made that up. I was bored.) Third, Tsunade has bigger breasts than that." Sakura pointed at the fake Tsunade's slightly undersized breasts. 'Tsunade' smirked. With a poof, Kabuto appeared.
" I'll be taking you now." Sakura turned red.
" WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY SENSEI?" She shouted. Kabuto shrugged.
" No one can defeat her, so we just stalled her with a very large number of sound ninja." Sakura frowned.
" Orochimaru plays dirty." She scoffed. " Doesn't he have any honor?" Kabuto shook his head.
" I would say that he just plays tricks, but that would only be the half truth. Yes, he can be rather filthy." Kabuto smirked. " But in the end, it all comes out right for us, so playing dirty may just be coming clean for the bad guys, eh?" (Sorry guys. I would kill off Kabuto, but he's just way too fun to toy around with, so I don't think he'll die until- hey! I'm not giving spoilers!) Sasuke threw a barricade of shuriken at Kabuto and leaped out at the same time from the opposite side.
" Kaji Bakuha No Jutsu." Sasuke rapidly made hand signs and spit out fire. With Sakura in front, weapons at his left, and Sasuke at his right, Kabuto turned around to dodge the attackers. Sakura smirked. She threw a kunai at Kabuto, who easily dodged.
" Really, You think I would be as weak as you to get hit by that?" Sakura shrugged.
" Maybe not by that, but maybe you would get hit by that." Kabuto turned around and saw a large boulder falling on top of him. He jumped to his left, avoiding his skull from being crushed, but his legs were. He groaned.
" Damn… I can't move." Kabuto groaned. Sakura and Sasuke approached the sound Nin.
" Well, well. Looks like you're stuck. Should we help him, or should we leave him here?" Sakura smirked, obviously enjoying this. Sasuke glared at Kabuto.
" I would leave him here, but seeing as he's already here, let's ask him some questions before we leave. Such as, what did you want from Sakura?" He held a kunai to Kabuto's throat. Kabuto glared.
" None of your business." He struggled to get out.
" Yes it is. If you answer the questions, we just might set you free. Answer untruthfully; it will spell the end of your life. Kabuto sighed.
" This stinks." 'If I do get away, I will still have given away valuable information. But if I don't, they'll just kill me off. Stuck between a rock and a hard place…" Kabuto thought.
" So, what will it be?" Sasuke pressed the cold metal of the kunai against Kabuto's throat even closer. Kabuto sighed again, this time in defeat. ' I'll see if they buy my act. Just tell them lies… if necessary, that is. If it threatens Lord Orochimaru's work, I'll end up dead anyway.'
" I wanted Sakura so I could kill her. What else? She shows signs of exceeding Tsunade; even the Hokage herself said that. If she gets any stronger, it will become a nuisance." This answer seemed to satisfy the two.
" Did you plan on killing Zakura, too?" Sakura asked.
" Well, seeing the way she fought the other day, she would be a problem. Sure, why not?" Suddenly, Kabuto realized what he just said. 'Crap.'
" You saw that?" Sakura glared. Kabuto thought of the quickest thing possible.
" Sasuke reported to Orochimaru-sama. It's all part of this big plan we have to eliminate the Hokage and take over Konoha." Sakura stared at the sound medic in shock. Turning to the also shocked Uchiha, she questioned,
" Is this true?" Sasuke shook his head. Kabuto smirked.
" Do you really think he would tell someone like you? You're just a selfish little baby who thinks she's so tough. And don't worry, that's not coming from me. That came from Sasuke, who also added that you were quite troublesome." Kabuto enjoyed shoving the gap between the two. Sakura's face grew red in fury. The last sentence made her stumble.
" HOW COULD YOU?" She yelled at Sasuke. He looked at her in disbelief.
" You actually believe what he's saying? You're believing him over me?" Sakura let out a sob.
" Why not? After all, you have betrayed Konoha before!" A single tear dripped down her cheek. Sasuke glared at Kabuto.
" LIAR!" He was about to cut Kabuto's throat, when Sakura threw a shuriken to block the weapon. (NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!)
" HOW COULD YOU, SASUKE? HOW COULD YOU?" She screamed. Gathering chakra in her fist, she tried to punch him, but he ducked, causing her to break the rock instead. With the rock gone, Kabuto teleported his self back, to sound. Sasuke stared at Sakura in disbelief once more.
" You're believing HIM over me?" He hissed. Sakura threw multiple shuriken, and Sasuke could clearly tell she was furious.
" HOW COULD YOU? I HATE YOU SASUKE! GET AWAY FROM KONOHA! NOW! I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU!" She screamed out, tears dripping down her face. " GO BACK TO YOUR MASTER, OR WHATEVER, I DON'T CARE! JUST… LEAVE!" She prepared to punch him. Sasuke just continued to stare at her in disbelief, and left before she could land the punch.
" Sasuke…. How could you?" She collapsed onto the ground, sobbing. "And here I thought… that this time, you were back for good…" She blacked out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke ran to the outskirts of Konoha. He didn't know why, but he knew that anyone would believe Sakura over him, and he couldn't risk his own life, even for her. A voice spoke from the shadows.
" I guess she really believed my servant, didn't she?" Sasuke collapsed to the ground, leaning against a tree. Holding his neck, he managed to grit out,
" Orochimaru…"
" Long time no see… Sasuke."
