Hey guys I am back…..So how was the last chapter? Do tell….Thanks for the reviews….I don't own NARUTO

Naruto, Sasuke and Kakashi were staring at each other and then their gazes landed on the place where Sakura was standing. Client was oblivious of what had happened in front of him.

"What just….?" Naruto trailed off.

"Happened?" Sasuke completed for him.

Kakashi just shook his head and sighed. He said "You two finish the mission, I'll go and look for Sakura."

"I'll come too, Kaka-sensei." Naruto said.

"No. Finish the mission." Kakashi said and fled the scene.

"Let's finish it." Sasuke said while signaling the client to move.

"But Teme-" Naruto tried to say but Sasuke cut him off "Kakashi said he'll take care of her. Get moving, Dobe."

"Hm." Naruto hm'ed and started walking.

'I hate you, Sasuke!'

Sasuke shook his head to get that thought out of his head.

'Focus on the mission, Sasuke.' He told himself.

Sakura was running. She didn't know what happened. She just snapped. Every frustration, every pent up emotion, sadness, feeling of uselessness, she poured it all out when Sasuke insulted her. She was running, jumping on the trees, desperate to reach Konoha.

Suddenly, Kakashi appeared in front of her. Growling, Sakura landed on the land with Kakashi in front of her.

"Sakura." Kakashi said.

"What?" Sakura snapped.

"Let's go back." Kakashi said while bring his hand in front of her.

"No. I am not going back." Sakura said through gritted teeth.

"Sakura you can't go to Konoha alone. It's dangerous." Kakashi said.

Sakura's head snapped at his direction and said "I am not FREAKING weak."

"Sakura, listen-" Kakashi was cut off because Sakura was shouting.

"NO you LISTEN to me, KAKASHI. All you ever cared for was Sasuke and Naruto. 'Oh I am worried.' 'Sorry Sakura I don't have time. Go ask someone else.' 'I have to prepare Sasuke for chunnin exams.' 'Naruto can take care of himself.' 'Naruto you have matured.' And for me 'Sakura, for today you should rest.' 'You can't keep up with them Sakura.' 'Sakura you can't go alone its dangerous.'"

Kakashi was silent. He knew himself too that he focused more on Naruto and Sasuke instead of Sakura.

"You know what Kakashi, you should be happy that I am leaving." Sakura said with venom.

"Sakura. You are one of my students. I will not be happy if you were to leave the team." Kakashi said in louder voice.

"Don't give me false hope, Kakashi. If I leave, you will have all the time to train Sasuke and Naruto. I am giving you once in a life time opportunity to get rid of me." She said and tears streamed down her face.

"SAKURA!" Kakashi shouted.

Sakura closed her eyes and said "NO. I've had enough of this. No one cares for me. Naruto is always so oblivious. Sasuke doesn't spare a min without insulting me and you, I think you don't even know that a girl name Sakura exists. YOu know what Sasuke and Naruto are worse friends and you are the worst teacher. I hate you Kakashi."

She opened her eyes but the colour of her eyes were different. They weren't their usual emerald green, they were golden black and before Kakashi could question, she vanished.

Kakashi's eyes went wide.

"Sakura." He called out.

"SAKURA!" He shouted.

He sighed.

Summoning jutsu

Pakkun appeared out of the smoke.

"What did you call me for, Kakashi?" Pakkun said.

"Pakkun, I need you to follow Sakura and see that she reaches Konoha safely." Kakashi informed.

"That pink haired girl?" Pakkun asked.

"Yes. Once she reaches Konoha, you can go back." Kakashi said.

Pakkun nodded and started running in the direction Sakura had gone.

Kakashi looked in its direction and thought 'Be safe, Sakura.'

Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi managed to take the client at the place mentioned in the mission scroll.

It was night already and they were heading back to konoha.

"I hope Sakura-chan is O.K?" Naruto asked softly.

"Hn." Sasuke grunted.

"She's fine. Pakkun said that she safely made it back to Konoha." Kakashi informed his students.

"What do you think made Sakura do something like this?" Naruto asked while looking at other members of his team.

No one answered, so Naruto just sighed.

'I hate you, Sasuke'

'Why do I keep thinking about that?' Sasuke asked himself.

The rest of the travel to Konoha went silent.

When they reached Konoha, it was already midnight. After setting foot inside the gates, Naruto tried to run but was caught by Sasuke.

"What do you think you are doing, Teme?" Naruto shouted.

"Where do you think you are going, Dobe? It's past midnight. Meet Sakura in the morning." Sasuke said.

"But…" Naruto tried to speak.

"Sasuke is right Naruto. In the morning." Kakashi said while disappearing.

Two other sighed and walked their way home.

Next morning, Sasuke and Naruto met where the Team 7 usually meet. After sometime Kakashi appeared too.

"Any word from Sakura?" Kakashi asked.

The two shook their head.

"I say we go to her house and talk about what happened." Naruto suggested.

"Well you are right." Kakashi said and was going to leave when an ANBU appeared there.

"Hokage-sama have summoned you all." the ANBU said and pooffed.

"Let's go." Sasuke said.

Again their walk to the Hokage tower was silent.

When they opened the door to the Hokages office, they saw Tsunade looking out of the window.

Sensing someone was in the office, Tsunade turned around and saw Team 7 standing.

"I see you're all here, I'll try to finish this meeting as fast as possible." Tsunade said while sitting on the chair.

"But baa-chan, Sakura-chan isn't here yet." Naruto said.

"That's what I am talking about." Tsunade said.

Kakashi's and Naruto's breath hitched and Sasuke just narrowed his eyes.

"Sakura she….she left Team 7." Tsunade informed them.

"WHAT?!" Naruto shouted.

Tsunade just sighed.

"And you let her GO." Naruto growled.

"It's your own damn fault, you brat." Tsunade said while narrowing her eyes.

"Sakura told me everything that happened." She added.

The member of team 7 looked down in shame.

Naruto, suddenly, looked in Tsunade's eyes and said "I will talk to Sakura-chan and make her to join our team again."

"No Naruto-" Tsunade tried to say.

"Let's go Teme." Naruto said while pulling Sasuke by arm who followed him with a 'Hn'

"What's the matter, Hokage-sama?" Kakashi asked after his two students left.

"Well the thing is…." Tsunade said something that made Kakashi shocked.

When Naruto and Sasuke reached Sakura's house, they saw that she as well as her parents weren't there.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto called but no one answered.

When he went to kitchen, he saw Sasuke looking at the counter of the kitchen.

Naruto approached him and asked "What are you looking at Teme?"

When Naruto followed Sasuke's gaze, his eyes too, went wide like Sasuke's were.
