"We are going back to Konoha."-Shikamaru said as he finish reading the scroll.
"What!? No way! We can't go back to Konoha without Sakura-chan!"-Naruto said as he rise from his seat.
"The Hokage orders us to go back to Konoha immediately."-Shikamaru said while looking at the blonde.
"No! I won't go back to Konoha without Sakura-chan!, We must find her first!."-the blonde exclaim.
"I know Naruto, but still, we must follow the Hokage's orders, remember Naruto, we are shinobi of Konoha first, and vow our loyalty to the village."
"But Sakura-chan is my friend! Damn! She's my best friend, a sister to me! I can't just go back to Konoha, knowing that she is somewhere out there, without anything, anyone or anywhere to go... and worst.. in danger! How can you tell me that forget about her and go back to Konoha?!"-Naruto said.
"Naruto listen! I am not saying that we will forget about finding Sakura! She's my friend too, and I also don't want to go back without her. But what can we do? remember that we are on a mission and our time is limited. Going back to Konoha doesn't mean that we are abandoning Sakura. No, I told Tsunade-sama about what happened, and you know how she cares about Sakura, she too, wants to find Sakura as soon as possible. So we need to go back in Konoha, to plan everything. We need to settle everything, needs help of others. We also need to gather more information about the ancient jutsu. Believe me Naruto, I want to help Sakura as much as you do, but you must also understand that the three of us can't do it alone, we need help."-Shikamaru said.
Naruto just bow his head, looking at the floor. Sai, listening to the conversation walk beside Naruto and pat his shoulder.
"Shikamaru is right Naruto, the three of us isn't enough, we need help and information."-Sai said. Naruto look at Sai.
"B-but, Sakura-chan... I... just can't..."- Shikamaru put his hand on Naruto's shoulder and give him a reassuring look.
"I promise, we will find her, we will save her, remove that jutsu. She will be back to us.. but for now, we must go back to Konoha, as fast as we can."-He said. Naruto look at him, sigh, then is right, the three of them can't do anything right now, their time, resources and information are limited.
"We need to rest, we will move before the sun rises."-Shikamaru said and walk towards his place of bed, Naruto and Sai do the same.

"Where are we going?"-Sakura ask as they walk in the forest. The group starts to travel as the sun rises and Sakura is really clueless to where they are going.
"Dunno.. where our feet will lead us."-Suigetsu said. Sakura look at Suigetsu. 'where out feet lead us' Sakura didn't ask again because she knows that she will not get any good answers, she just follows them and let her feet lead the way. She look ahead where - the leader - Sasuke is, followed by the red hair woman, Karin and Juugo, then Suigetsu, and she is behind him. She don't know why she is with them, maybe because she really don't know herself besides her name, but they are still stranger, they don't even look regular travelers, like Tsukame and Takoru and the others, they actually looks suspicious. She look at Sasuke again, if a normal person will encounter Sasuke face to face, they might run, because he is too scary, though is a very handsome man, his aura tells you to 'back off' . He looks like a mysterious wanderer that you can't approach easily. But why does she feel that being with him is so normal? Does that mean she isn't normal?.
Lost in her thoughts, Sakura didn't notice that Suigetsu stops walking, causing her to bump on his back.
"Umfff"-she said while caressing her nose.
"Why did you -"-She was cut off when he notice that all of her companions stops from walking and they are all looking in front. Sakura blinked, there she saw, two figures standing. In the left is a tall man with red-long hair that is tied to the side, then the other is also a tall, blonde guy that is grinning widely at them, both are wearing a black cloak with red clouds, then she notice that blonde man turn his gaze and look at her. Sakura step back and hide in Suigetsu's back.
"Who are you?."-Karin asked them. Tamago looked at Karin.
"Eh.. "-He said. Karin frown on his lack of answer.
"Are you deft? or stupid."-She said.
"tsk.. tsk... tsk..., very harsh words woman. A fine woman didn't talk like that.. but hey, it suits you."-Tamago said.
"Why you!"-Karin irritably said and launch herself at the man. Tamago just shook his head. When Karin was about to hit him, Tamago incredibly disappear. Shocked, Karin turn her head to the left to search for the man but she is hit by something or someone and fly in a different direction, hitting some trees. Sakura felt the change in atmosphere. Also she saw Suigetsu grip his huge sword at his back, ready to attack the two strangers.
"Who are you?."-She heard Sasuke ask. Maguro look at Sasuke.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet the younger Uchiha."-He said. Sasuke's grip on his Kusanagi tightened and ready to attack.
"If I were you, I will not move. Its just a waste of energy."-He said.
"Hn."-Sasuke said.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
"Oi.. Missy.. stay behind that tree.."-Suigetsu said, not looking at Sakura, she just nodded and step back, but when she turned around, her eyes widen when the blonde man earlier is in front of her.
"Hi there, blossom."-He said. Shock, Sakura froze on her spot, but Suigetsu immediately pull her wrist and put her behind him, swinging his sword to the blonde man but he easily avoided the sword.
"Aa... I am more capable in giving you a good fight man!."-Suigetsu said. Tamago smirked.
"Eh.. really? But I am only interested in woman."-He said.
"Tch. Come on.. are you scared of me?"-Suigetsu said.
"Don't be so full of yourself."-Tamago said.
"S-Suigetsu.."-Sakura whisper. Suigetsu forgot that she is still behind him.
"Don't be scared, blossom. I won't hurt you.. I promise to be gentle.."-Tamago said and laugh.
"Tch. Perverted idiot.."-Suigetsu said.
"..Oi.. run now, hide.. whatever.. just go far from here."-Suigetsu said. Sakura just nodded and roamed her eyes, finding Juugo that is helping the hurt Karin.
"Aa.. Aa.. you're going anywhere."-Tamago was about to stop Sakura but Suigetsu blocked him.
"Hey! I'm here.. I promise to give you a damn hell of a fight!."-he said and attack Tamago swinging his sword.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Sasuke is still staring at the man in front of him.
"What you need?."-Sasuke asked the man.
"I'm afraid that I can't tell, but I assure you that it's not one of your team mates."-Maguro said.
"So, you're the new members of Akatsuki."-Sasuke said. Maguro tilted his head.
"Tch. Rumors are really fast."-He said.
"Hn. Tell me where is Itachi."-Sasuke flatly said.
"Oh.. miss your brother? I'm afraid I can't. He's a busy man you know."-Maguro said.
"Then, I don't have no choice but force you to tell me."-Sasuke said and attack Maguro.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Sakura run towards where Juugo is, he is settling Karin down in a tree, unconscious.
"Juugo-san, how's Karin-san?"-Sakura asked. Juugo look at her.
"She's just unconscious, she'll be okay."-He said. Sakura look at where Sasuke is, but failed to see him and the red hair man.
"Don't worry about Sasuke, he will be okay."-Juugo said. Sakura nodded. Sakura just and crouch beside Karin. She looks like she was beat up by a group of men, when she was just hit by only one.
"That guy is not just a normal enemy, no wonder they are chosen to be an akatsuki."-Juugo said. Sakura look at Juugo. This is the second time that she heard that Akatsuki.
"Juugo-san, what is Akatsuki? I heard that from you and Suigetsu yesterday."-she said.
"They are group of S-class criminal, composed of missing-nins of different villages. They are powerful."-Juugo said.
"Criminals? Then they are bad.. but.. you said they are powerful? That means they are strong.. Is Suigetsu and Mister Sasuke will going to be alright?."-Sakura asked.
"They will not die."-Juugo said. Even though not convince, Sakura just sigh, she can't do anything to help them, she don't know how to fight.
"Juugo!"-Both of them turn their head, hearing Suigetsu shouted. They both saw the blonde man, approaching to their direction. Sakura's eyes widened, but before the man come near them, Juugo block and hit him.
"Sakura, take Karin and run"-Juugo said.
"H-huh? B-but.. I can't.. I.."-Sakura nervously said.
"Just go! We will find both of you!."-Juugo said. Sakura hesitates but nodded and took the unconscious Karin, she look at Juugo for the last time before walking inside the forest.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
"Not bad at all."-Maguro said as he dodge Sasuke's attack.
"Tell me where is Itachi."-Sasuke said.
"If I tell you, what will you do.?"-Maguro said, easily avoiding Sasuke's attack.
"I'll kill him."-Sasuke said. Maguro raise his eyebrow, dodge Sasuke's last attack and in an instant, he is behind him. Maguro throw a punch causing for Sasuke to be thrown away. Maguro laugh in a mocking tone.
"Kill Itachi-sama?.. dream on boy."-Maguro said. Sasuke glared at him.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Sakura tried her very best to walk faster, dragging Karin with her, they are not too far from where they came, she can still here the clashes of swords, she can't run at all because Karin is too heavy.
"Where should we go?"-Sakura asked herself. She roamed her eyes and continue to walk.
"Juugo-san said that they will find us.."-she said to herself. She was about to walk further but stop when a man emerge in front of her.
"W-who are you?."-Sakura ask. The man look at her and smirk.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
"Heh! not bad for a kid"-Tamago said as he wipe the blood on his lips.
"A kid huh? kids can't do such things like this!."-Suigetsu said as he hit Tamago but failed because he easily dodge it.
"Aa.. you're attacks are just like kids do.."-Tamago said and hit Suigetsu in the jaw that cause him to be thrown in the air.
"Tsk.."-Tamago said and turn his attention to the people not far from him, he smirk.
"Aa.. you're not going anywhere blossom."-he said and flash step to where they are but Juugo block him.
"Sakura, take Karin and run"-He said the man said.
"Aish.. I'm starting to loose my temper."-Tamago said as he look at Juugo. "..oi..you big man.. step aside!."-he added.
"No."-Juugo said.
"Ee.. acting tough huh? Let's see how far can you stand."-Tamago said and smirk in a flash, Juugo's body is thrown in the air.
"Stupid, don't ever think that you have a chance on me."-Tamago said, then his attention is where his target run. "I still can feel you blossom! just wait for me.."-Tamago said and laugh maniacally.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
"Damn.. I can't run anymore.!"-Sakura said as she slumps on the grass, placed Karin on the side.
"Maybe it's far enough."- She look at Karin's unconscious body and sigh. If she's just conscious right now, she can hep her to run far. Then she look at the path where she last seen Juugo and wonders what is happening to them,
'are they okay? Are they wounded?, Are they still alive.' Sakura shook her head.
"They are okay, Juugo-san said that they will not die, they are strong."-she said to herself.
"Aa.. look who I found.."-Sakura snap and turn where the voice come from, then she saw not far from her, the blonde man that she saw earlier.
"W-what do you need? L-Leave us alone!."-Sakura said as she look at Tamago with fear.
"Ah.. what a beautiful sight.."-Tamago said.
"Y-you.. just leave us alone!"-Sakura shouted. Tamago started to walk towards them smiling.
"S-stop right there!."-Sakura said, roamed her eyes on the place and found a thick branch of a tree, she immediately took it.
"Stop there! If you walk further, I will not hesitate to hurt you!."-Sakura said. Tamago laugh at Sakura's threat.
"My.. my.. do you think that a piece of wood can hurt me? Err.. well, you can try if you want.."-Tamago said with mocking tone. Sakura felt ridiculous, the man is right, how can a weak woman like her hurt a stupid jerk blonde hair man with a piece of wood? But even though she is so scared about her situation, she needs to protect herself, and the unconscious Karin.
"I-I am not afraid of you!"-Sakura said. Tamago just shook his head.
"Tsk.. tsk.. you shouldn't be my dear blossom, I will not hurt you...err.. at least not my much."-He said and walk towards her again. Sakura tried her best to not tremble but she can't help it. When Tamago is a few steps in front of her, she look at the blonde man.
"My.. my.. your more beautiful closer."-Tamago said, Sakura blush but didn't let her guards down.
"Go away!."-Sakura shouted. Tamago extend his hand and was about to touch Sakura when a blur of white hit him, causing for Sakura to scream.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Sasuke heard the scream, not far where he is, he knows that voice, it's Sakura. Sasuke was about to turn his back to Maguro but the man attack him, Sasuke immediately block his hit and flash step to make distance between them.
"Don't turn your back to your enemy."-Maguro said.
"What do you really need?"-Sasuke ask.
"I assure that your not the one."-Maguro said.
"Are you after Sakura?"-He ask. Maguro laugh.
"Fine. I'll tell you. Yes, we are. Let's just say, she is a very important medium for us, to gain our goal."-Maguro said.
"What makes her that important? And what did you do to her?"-Sasuke ask.
"Aa.. Aa.. enough of information."-Maguro said and again attack Sasuke.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Sakura was shock at what happened, in a minute, the blonde man is so near and was about to touch her, but in a flash, he is thrown in the other side, and Suigetsu is in front of her, with wounds and blood.
"Pss.. Oi missy.. don't scream like that.."-Suigetsu said as he wipe some blood on his mouth.
"S-Suigetsu! are you okay?"-Sakura ask.
"Heh! Obviously not! Now, do me a favor, take that four eye b*tch and go!."-Suigetsu said. Sakura nervously nodded and drop the wood that she is holding and immediately walk towards Karin.
"Aist.. What a disturbance. Your all making me pissed and I don't like it!."-Tamago shouted and release huge chakra from his body, making Sakura and Suigetsu froze from their spot.
"F*ck.. I can't move."-Suigetsu said. Tamago appear in front of Suigetsu and stared at him.
"Stupid freek! You and your comrades disgust me! Stop blocking me and die!"-Tamago said and hit Suigetsu causing him to be thrown away and knock out.
"SUIGETSU!."-Sakura shouted, then she turn to the blonde man that seems different from the one that she's been talking earlier. He still have the physical appearance but she knows that something change, she look at his eyes and notice that it becomes empty black, staring at her. Looking at that pair of eyes makes Sakura shiver.. She felt cold, she feels like she is drowning in a deep well, a never ending well. Sakura drew her breath.
"Stop! Stay there.. D-don't go near me!."-Sakura said. She is envelop with fear and panic that is running in her system. She knows that this man is dangerous, the way he hit Suigetsu, his features, his face.. she can tell that he can easily kill her, in a snap, and she feels helpless about it. The man give her a wicked smile that makes Sakura more scared.
"My.. my.. little blossom, I will not hurt you.. not too much.."-Tamago said.
"Y-you hurt S-Suigetsu! Your a bad man! Stay away from me!."-Sakura said.
"I just did that because he is a hitch.. I just want to be near you."-He said.
"N-No! stop!."-Sakura is panicking.. she didn't want this man near her. She is trembling, she can't think normally, there is something in this man that makes her panic more.. that makes her stop thinking normal.. it's like that he has a hold on her mind. Sakura's head began to hurt, she clutch her head and look at the blonde man.
"Come, I won't hurt you.."-Tamago said with a wide smile on his face, it makes Sakura feels disgust.
"N-No!."-Sakura said. Tamago gritted his teeth.. he's an impatient man and he needs to get what he wants. Tamago look at Sakura's eyes and use his mind control jutsu. Sakura's head hurts more when the blonde man look straight in her eyes, she can't even avoid his eyes.
'Come to me' A voice is whispering inside her mind.
"No!."-Sakura said.
'Come to me..' the voice repeatedly whispers in her mind.
"No! No! NO!."-Sakura shouted.
"Come on little blossom.."-Tamago said.
"Don't come near me! GO AWAY!."-Sakura shouted. Not knowing that chakra is forming in her fist.. and as if on cue, she punch the ground causing it to break, Tamago is surprise by it and fall in a huge crack on the ground. Sakura stare at the stared at what she did, shock from her action.
"W-what the hell? What was that?."-Sakura said to herself. Sakura's body is trembling because of that, she can feel so much energy in her body, yet she feels tired and weak. 'What is happening? Did she really do that thing? How did she do that?' She asked herself. So many questions, yet, she can't answer it. Her thoughts are interrupted by a loud laugh. She scan the surroundings but she can't find who it was, then she look in the ground, inside the big hole in it, where the blonde man fall, slowly, a figure is emerging in the hole.
