'Thoughts' 'Inner Sakura' 'Kyuubi' "Talking"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before the figure in the cape removed her hood, the weather stopped raining and returned back to what it originally was. Sunny and bright.
Takashi stared at the person in front of him. 'I'm getting a really bad feeling about this! Who is this person?!'
"Who are you!" He yelled once again.
The hooded figure shook their head and couldn't help but let a laugh seep out of their lips.
"You don't remember me? How sad." They said to Takashi.
Takashi felt himself go pale. His eyes went wide and his head moved up too look at the person dressed in black.
'That laugh……it's so familiar……'
"I'll take that as a no." The person said as her emotion changed to serious. With a heavy sigh, she continued to take off her hood. Takashi's eyes were popping out of his head. And very slowly, the hood was removed.
Takashi couldn't control the gasp that escaped his throat. As the hood cascaded around the woman's shoulder's her sparkling forest green eyes stared straight at him.
"You're…….you're……IMPOSSIBLE! YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE DEAD!"
The woman looked at the man in a strange way. She grabbed her shoulder length light brown hair in one of her hands and started to twist it. A nervous habit she always did.
"Aren't you dead?" She asked in complete confusion.
The people behind her couldn't hold back their curiosity any longer. Tokie, Tai, and Itachi had an idea of who it was. The problem was, was that they couldn't believe it.
'S-San. Alive? What did Sakura do?'
'My daughter is alive?!'
Tsunade motioned for all of them to move, so they all could get a good look of what was going on. As they did Tokie, Tai, and Itachi's thought came true. Tokie couldn't help but cry even harder, Tai just stared with disbelief in his eyes, while Itachi, for once in his life, was lost for words.
"San…." Tai whispered.
To his amazement, she heard him. San turned towards her father and her mouth dropped to the ground.
"Dad?!" Her eyes were wide and her attention then slipped to start staring at everyone else. "Mom?!" The only other person she recognized was Itachi. "I-Itachi?"
The said three looked at the woman with uncertain eyes. Itachi couldn't believe what he was seeing. If the two of them weren't in front of a crowd, he would take her away. San also couldn't believe it. She hadn't seen him in god knows how long.
'How ironic is it that I don't see him until he is a spirit.'
Hinata looked at the striking beautiful woman in front of her that was dazing off into her own little world. Just like Sakura would do.
"Who are you?" She asked, mostly to herself.
San's forest green eyes traveled to the Hinata. "Me?" Hinata gasped and looked up at San. Their eyes meet for a minute and then Hinata turned back into her quiet self.
San couldn't help but smile at the girl. "Well my name is San Haruno."
"So you're Sakura's sister?" Kiba asked.
San nodded her head filled with pride. "Yup! Wait…..so that means the rest of you are her friends?"
Tsunade nodded her head. "I'm the Hokage. My name is Tsunade, this is my assistant, Shizune."
San smiled warmly at the Hokage. "Yes, Sarutobi told me a lot about you. He says he's very proud with what you have done with the village."
Tsunade was shocked beyond belief. "You talked to Sarutobi?"
San looked at all of them like they were aliens. "Yeah. You all will too, since your spirits and everything."
Tokie shook her head at her oldest daughter. "San, sweetheart. We aren't dead……. Your alive."
San's mouth dropped to the floor and shook her head a million times. "No. I'm not alive. I have been dead for six years!"
Tai shook his head. "Not anymore. Your alive and breathing."
San turned her head to Itachi to see him portraying nothing. Even for the six years she hadn't been in contact with him, she still could read him. She reached down into her robe and pulled out a kunai.
"What is she doing?" Naruto asked the Hokage.
Tsunade looked at Naruto and then the at the 20 year old. "When you're a spirit, you can never get hurt. You can't bleed or break a bone or anything."
"So she is testing out to see if she is alive." Shino said.
"Exactly." Tsunade said.
Everyone watched as San brought the kunai up to her hand and in one swift motion, she cut her hand. Her eyes went wide as she watched the red crimson liquid dripped down her hand and fall to the ground.
"How did I…..?" She looked from her injured hand to her parents for an answer.
'Wait a minute……where is Sakura-Chan?'
"Where is Sakura-Chan?" she asked.
Tokie nearly choked on her own tears. Tsunade, although she was distressed as well, only let a few tears fall from her amber eyes.
San narrowed her eyes at them. "Let me ask again. Where is she." She ordered in a stern voice.
Kiba, Hinata, and Naruto shivered at the voice. Now they knew were Sakura got her demanding voice from. Shino, although no one could see it, was smirking. Now that was the voice Sakura would use when she was scolding Naruto or Kiba.
Tai patted his wife on the back as an act to keep her together. Tokie nodded her head as a way to tell her husband that she collected herself.
"San. Sakura……Sakura……she used the Recreation Justu." Tokie watched as all the color from her daughter's face drained.
'To think. Right as I get one of my daughter's another one is lost. Why?!'
"What is the Recreation Jutsu anyways?" Naruto asked. He was so confused. First he saw Sakura get pierced with a million of kunai and now he sees her sister.
'Wait where is Sakura-Chan?!'
'I don't know. Maybe her sister can tell us.'
San held back her tears that threatened to fall down her face. "No! Your lying! Impossible!"
Tsunade watched at the young woman cracked. "I'm afraid she is telling the truth."
San stared at her with an unreadable expression. Naruto, again, asked his question.
"What does the Recreation Jutsu do?"
San turned her attention to the blonde. "Who are you?" She asked.
"Name is Naruto Uzumaki." He said. "Now tell me what the jutsu is!"
San couldn't help but smile while her tears fell. "So you're the one."
Naruto's face dropped in confusion. "Huh?"
San couldn't help but giggle at his face. "Sakura-Chan has told me a lot about you."
Naruto couldn't help but beam with happiness. "Really?! What does she say?!"
San smiled sadly at him. Her eyes then drifted towards Itachi. Flash backs of their adventure together when they were kids resurfaced to her mind.
'A forbidden love, that wasn't suppose to happen, him and I. And now, Sakura has fallen into the same trap as I have. But with the demon container instead.'
"I don't know how you did it Naruto. But you made it so my little sister fell for you. And hard."
When San said that to Naruto he couldn't help but feel like he was walking on air.
'Did you hear that Kyuubi?! Sakura-Chan likes me!'
'I heard it Kit. Loud and clear. Now you can't lose her!'
'Yeah, yeah, yeah.'
"Hate to stomp on your little parade Naruto, but San could you tell us why you're alive?" Kiba asked, he was getting annoyed that no one was explaining the jutsu.
Kiba watched as her mood changed once again.
'God she is like a fucking mood ring.'
"The Recreation Jutsu, is a forbidden jutsu amongst our clan." San said as tears started to fall even harder. It surprised her that her voice didn't begin to crack. "The jutsu is a…..a…..self sacrificing jutsu."
San watched as Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Naruto, Shizune, and Tai's faces filled with horror. She cleared her throat as a signal that she would continue.
"What the jutsu does…." San had to compose herself before she could continue. Pictures flashed through her mind of Sakura using the jutsu. "What it does….is that it takes all your chakra away, basically killing you. Then it would summon a spirit, and they would take their place. Since there was only one surviveor people tried to figure it out. And no one ever could. That's why people say it's like committing suicide."
Naruto couldn't take much more of it. His fists were clenching together, digging his nails into his palms. San watched as tears cascaded down his face. Making tear drops in the ground.
'He really did love her.'
San looked to see the realization hitting everyone else. Tai and Tokie held each other. Both wanting for support. Hinata and Kiba leaned on Shino for support. Shino wouldn't show it, but he was devastated too. San looked at Itachi to see him no longer there.
'Where did he……'
As San turned around she banged right into his chest. San looked up at him and never realized how short she was compared to him, he as a head taller than her. At least. Looking up to meet his eyes, her feelings for him resurfaced and she couldn't control herself. She grabbed him by his shirt, pulling him down to her height.
Itachi stared deep into the forest green eyes he missed so much. He gave her a smirk, one that he hasn't used since she died, and kissed her on the lips. San pulled on his robe to get him closer to her. Itachi could sense everyone staring at them, so he broke it. San glared at him and he couldn't help but want to take her away somewhere private.
He watched as her attention turned away from him, but she never did separate their distance.
"Who made her use it." San said in a pissed voice.
"I did! If I knew she would bring you back I would of killed her on the spot!" Takashi called out.
San turned around to the forgotten Takashi, to see him torn into pieces. "It seems Sakura-Chan put a number on you."
Takashi shot her an evil smirk. "Yeah, but like before, you came up short!"
Itachi could feel her tense underneath him. He watched as her grip on his robe started to get stronger and stronger. Everyone was emitting murderous intent at the evil son of a bitch.
"You twisted snake! Wait till I kill you!" San shouted struggling against Itachi's iron hold on her. He just got her back, no way was he going to lose her now.
"San." San stopped throwing her arms and legs and looked up at him. "Let me take care of him."
San couldn't believe her ears. Come to think of it, no one could. When did Itachi ever care about someone other than himself?
'This must have been the Itachi before he killed his clan.' Tsunade thought.
"But…." Itachi put a finger over her lips to prevent her from questioning him. He lowered his head down to her ear.
"I just got you. No way in hell will I lose you." He said in barely a whisper. As he spoke he let his tongue tickle the shell of her ear. He heard her enticing eep and he couldn't control his smirk that plastered on his face.
Without further adieu, Itachi brought San over to the rest of the group and turned around to the awfully injured Takashi and stared at him with an emotionless face.
Takashi stared at his rival with an intense glare.
'Now the score will be settled. Once and for all!' Takashi thought as he drew his sword out for the final time.
"Sakura-Chan's s-sister." Naruto said in-between his wheezing. San turned to the heartbroken boy.
'First he finds out Sakura-Chan loves him, and know he has to find out she is dead. Poor boy.'
"Just call me San, Naruto."
Naruto rubbed his red puffy eyes and nodded his head. "Is there any way Sakura-Chan can still be alive?"
San stared at the young seventeen year old with pure sympathy. She took him into a full bear hug.
"Oh sweetie. I'm terribly sorry that you found out that the girl you had a crush on for your whole life finally returns your feelings. Only to find out she is gone. But there is a one in a million chase that Sakura-Chan is alive."
Naruto looked up at the girl with confusion and sadness. "How do you….?"
San smiled sadly at him. "Sakura would always talk to me when she was went to my grave. She told me about you, her other friends, and everything else I missed."
"Oh." Was all Naruto could say as he broke their hug and stared at San with heartbroken eyes. "So…..is that a no?"
San shook her head up and down a very slow manner. She watched as Naruto's face fell even more.
'I can't believe it. She's gone.'
'No she can't be gone!'
Naruto could sense the Demon's anger raging through his head. He was pounding and screaming in his cage. He was just as hurt as Naruto was.
'Is there any way we can bring her back Kyuubi?'
Naruto sense the Kyuubi's power raging even stronger through his head.
'I'll take that as a no.'
The now heart broken people turned to the battle that was about to begin. Everyone no longer cared that Itachi was a S-Criminal ninja that killed his family. Right now all they wanted him to do was kill the man that caused them all this heartache.
'This is the end Takashi. You lost seven years ago and you will lose again.'
With their finals thoughts into place they got into position. As Takashi brought his sword up in defense mode, Itachi simply removed his robe and threw it on the ground.
San couldn't surpass the blush that went to her cheeks. The seven years have been good to Itachi. But she shook her head of those thoughts and concentrated on the battle at hand.
Takashi watched as Itachi made no motion to get into a offensive or defensive position.
'What an insulting bastard. Does he think he will beat me that easily.'
Takashi couldn't hold his anger in any longer. "Die you Uchiha scum bag!" He shouted as he ran full force at Itachi. Ignoring the throbbing pain in his broken foot and his arm.
Itachi just stood there waiting for him to get close enough to him. Sakura did most of the work, so all Itachi had to do was break the rest of his limbs and kill him slowly.
As Takashi got closer and closer, everyone watched with anticipation. But before Itachi could even extend his arm out to snap the blade in half, someone ran in front of the blade and blocked it.
Takashi glared at the person that got in his way of thrashing his arch rival, but when he glared at the person his sword almost fell out of his hands from astonishment.
"How did you…..? What the hell is going on?!"
Itachi looked in front of him to see a set of pink locks in front of him.
"Sakura." He stated quietly.
Takashi jumped back from them and stared at her.
"How are you alive?! That jutsu is suppose to kill you!" Takashi yelled.
Sakura smirked at him and shook her head. She then looked up at Itachi and smiled at him.
"Everyone wins this time. Except Takashi." She whispered.
Itachi stepped to the side, so everyone could see what was going on. Because when they heard the clang of metal crashing against each other, they were wondering who it was this time.
As Itachi moved out of the way, Sakura heard tons of gasps from behind. She couldn't help but smile brightly as she turned around to face them all.
"Sakura/Sakura-Chan!" All of them said in unison.
Sakura smiled brightly at them and nodded her head. "In the flesh!" She said with as much enthusiasm as she could.
She watched as her mother started to cry in pure happiness. Her father smiled brightly at her, Shizune nodded her head at her, Hinata gave her a thumbs up, while Kiba only shook his head but he smiled too, Shino nodded his head, Tsunade couldn't help but beam in pride.
'Yeah, you're going to brag about this to anyone you can Shinsui. But that's why I love you!'
And finally, her attention turned to Naruto. She looked at him and flashed him a bright smile at him. She watched as his eyes almost fell out of his eyes. Before she knew it, he came running at her, engulfing her in a hug. He made sure he didn't hurt her anymore than she was. You could still see the holes of where the kunai punctured her skin.
"Sakura-Chan! You're alive!" He stated happily.
"Well duh! You don't think I would leave you alone?! Who would look after you?"
Naruto looked down at her and smiled even more at her. "I missed you too Sakura-Chan."
'She's alive Kyuubi! She's alive!'
'I see that Kit. And know if you don't mind. I have some unsettled business to attend to.'
'Huh?'
Naruto watched as his demon was gone from his cage. That's when he knew where he was going.
Kyuubi teleported himself to Inner Sakura's room.
'Well well, you truly are amazing.'
Inner Sakura turned around at stared at the demon. 'So you couldn't get enough eh?'
The Demon smirked at the girl in front of her, revealing his sharp canine teeth.
'Aren't we a little bold?'
'That's my middle name……'
Kyuubi smirk enlarged at the girl. Oh was he going to have some fun with this little vixen in front of him. He didn't get to explore any more, for Naruto pulled him back to his mind.
'Kit! I was working over there! Why did you pull be back?!'
'Because! Sakura-Chan is in pain!'
'Huh?!'
While the Kyuubi was hitting it off with Inner Sakura over there, Sakura all of a sudden yelled in pain.
"Sakura-Chan!" Naruto yelled.
San, Tsunade, and Shizune turned towards Sakura and watched as the pink haired ninja screamed in pain. Naruto caught her body as it swayed and almost fell to the ground.
"What is going on with her?" Hinata asked worriedly.
Tsunade examined Sakura with her amber eyes. Her eyes went to Shizune and Shizune nodded her head.
"We need to get her to the hospital right away. Her body is undergoing to much stress!" Shizune said as her and Tsunade grabbed Sakura and bolted to the hospital.
Hinata, Shino, Kiba, Naruto, Tai, and Tokie ran after Tsunade. Following them to the hospital. Leaving San and Itachi with Takashi.
San turned her head towards her ex-friend. "You slum filled ass whip!" Takashi watched as San sent him a bone chilling glare. "How dare you!"
Itachi held her back as she lunged at Takashi. Takashi watched as Itachi stared at him. The three of them could hear the gulp Takashi released.
"You just couldn't handle that Itachi won could you?!" she yelled at him.
Takashi glared right back at her. "He doesn't disserve you! I do! He is some anti-social freak of nature, while I'm social and everyone loves me!"
Itachi glared at Takashi and San couldn't believe her ears. "So you agreed to kill me because of that?!"
Takashi's cynical laughter filled the forest. "You two were ever meant to be together! Fugaku hated you San because you stole his son away from him. Because you were so different than the girl he picked out for Itachi."
San's eyes were as wide as saucers. 'So that's why he hated me?'
Itachi's hold on San started to tighten and San could see the hatred Itachi had was leaking out.
"So you killed her because you thought that if you couldn't have her. No one could."
Takashi's smile grew. "The Itachi Uchiha has figured it out! Bravo! Everyone praised you for everything you have done! And me? They just looked at as a normal shinobi. Then you took San away from me! I was so close to making her mine until you showed up! You had every single girl out there! Why did you have to take my girl?!"
"Who ever said I was yours?! We were just friends! And I told you that! You couldn't get that!"
Itachi was getting fed up with Takashi. First he actually gets him to leak out some emotion, and now he is getting San upset. Itachi saw that it was time to end this. So without any warning at all, he grabbed a single kunai and stabbed Takashi in the chest.
San's eyes went wide as did Takashi's. He just did it without warning. Takashi looked at Itachi and tried with all his might to break his grip. But Takashi didn't see it happening.
He put his hands behind his back and started to form a few seals. San wasn't going to let him hurt anyone else, so she ran behind him. Itachi raised an eye brow at her, and Takashi was getting a little nervous.
"If you really did care for me Takashi, you would wanted to see me happy. Not try to kill me! Now, it's time to say good night!"
And with that, San grabbed his hands as they formed seals and she gathered chakra in her hands. She sliced a kunai across his hands and sent her chakra filled hand through his blood stream. With in minutes the Chakra found his heart and she made it cut off all blood circulation to it. Itachi watched as Takashi squirmed like a dead fish out of water in front of him. He let got of the Kunai and grabbed San away from the dieing man.
The two stood there until he breathed his last breath. Once the evil man was finally dead. San couldn't help but feel a big burden lift off her shoulders. She turned to Itachi and before she knew it, he pushed her into him.
She watched as he lowered his head down to her neck. She stretched her neck to the side so he could explore it. Itachi let his tongue run up and down her side of her neck, while drawling small circles with it. She couldn't surpass the purr that came out of her. Itachi smirked at this and lifted her chin up and kissed her with full lust. He didn't even give her time to catch her breath.
She reluctantly pushed him away but he didn't go away very far. He lowered his lips to her ear and kissed the shell of it.
"If it wasn't for the crowd that is expecting us in the hospital, I would take you right now."
San looked up at him with a smirk o her own. "Too bad." Was all she said before she wiggled his nose against hers.
Itachi glared at her teasing, but she ignored it. When San turned around, Sasuke was right behind her.
"Ah!" She screamed, completely startled by the Uchiha look a like.
Itachi looked behind her to see his little brother really pissed off. "Little Brother….."
Sasuke growled at his older brother and glared at the woman in front of him. "So you're the reason why my family is dead." Sasuke growled out.
San tilted her head to the side. "Wait a minute……you're Sasuke! Aw I haven't seen you in forever! You're so grown up!"
Sasuke glared at the girl and she shut her mouth. "What's wrong?"
"He killed them all….just because you died!"
San gave him a sympathetic look. Sakura had told her about that too. "But they would of pushed you too exhaustion!"
Sasuke didn't want to hear her talk, he hated her. He hated her and Sakura. They made it so Itachi killed his whole family. Now he had no family. She disserved to die.
Itachi watched Sasuke give her the look Sasuke would always give him. Sasuke was going to try something.
As Sasuke reached for a kunai to thrust into her, Itachi pulled her, quickly, behind himself and Itachi held the puny kunai in his hand. Sasuke glared at his older brother.
"Move out of the way!"
Itachi did no such thing. He took his other hand and with enough pressure, he broke Sasuke's wrist. Sasuke screamed in pain.
"This isn't over! I will kill you and that bitch!" Sasuke shouted as he poofed away.
San stared at Itachi and Itachi didn't do anything. "Well….your brother seems…..nice."
Itachi turned to her and narrowed his eyes at her. She giggled at him. "Come on. We need to get to the hospital."
Itachi didn't budge though. Making San throw herself back into his chest. "What's wrong Itachi?"
"We need to sneak in."
San nodded her head. Another foot note Sakura told her about. How Itachi is on the most wanted list.
"Ok, but come on!"
And with that Itachi let San drag him the secret way to enter Kohana. Even though she was out for seven years, she still had some idea where she was going.
--------------In the Hospital--------------
Everyone was sitting in Sakura's hospital room. It had been three hours since she came out of surgery. Itachi and San were near the window watching the sunset fall, Naruto was sitting right next to Sakura holding her hand. Hinata, Kiba and Shino were standing at the foot of the bed. Tokie, Tai, and Tsunade were coming in and out of the room. Since the room was full enough already.
"Come on Sakura-Chan! Hang in there." Naruto whispered to her as he tightened his hold on her hand. Afraid that he would lose her.
Tsunade came in the room and checked on Sakura's condition. "She will be fine. All she needs is rest. But can I have you all leave, it is too small of a room to crowd you all in here."
San looked at Tsunade with a worried expression. "But Tsunade-Sama. What about Itachi?"
Tsunade shook her head. "Don't worry no one will be after him. I placed orders to not attack him."
With that order everyone filed out of the room, Naruto being the last one to leave. Tsunade stayed by the door and watched as he got up from his stool, he didn't let go of her hand and he kissed her on the forehead. Then he very gently removed hi hand from hers and walked out the door. Tsunade couldn't help but smile at him.
------------The Next Day---------
Early that morning Tsunade came in and moved Sakura to a larger room. She knew that everyone from yesterday and more would be piling in to see how she was going.
'Jeez Sakura. You're just a hassle. But……I'm so proud of you. You have grown so much over the past three years.'
During the course of the day, a ton of people poured in to see Sakura, by the time Naruto, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, San, and Itachi came to see her, the whole windowsill was lined up with flowers.
"Jeez. Sakura has a lot of flowers." Kiba commented. Hinata nodded her head as she made her way to smell all of them. Shino's back went against the wall and Naruto took his rightful place next to her. Itachi and San sat on the couch across from the bed.
Soon Tokie and Tai came in too. They had to tell the whole family what happened. And that's all San did all day. Was great everyone and tell them who she talked to and everything. Itachi could tell she was tired. But didn't dare say anything, he remembered when women got mad, no matter how brainless you are, you ran for the hills as fast as you can.
Tsunade stopped by Sakura's room as well to check up on her. As Tsunade grabbed the clip board form the end of the bed everyone heard a groan come from Sakura.
San jumped up, almost hitting Itachi in the face, and ran to the bed. Everyone jumped and ran to the bed. So when Sakura would wake up she would see a circle of people.
"Ugh…." Sakura said as her eyes tried to open up. As her eyes slowly opened up she saw everyone around her. Rubbing her eyes with the back side of her hands, she lifted herself u[ into a sitting position.
People watched as her shinny emerald eyes scanned the room. She smiled at each and every one of them. Her glace stopped on her sister.
"Nee-Chan…." Sakura said in disbelief.
"Sakura-Chan!" She shouted at her little sister as she lunged forward and body slammed her into the bed. Sakura couldn't help but laugh. The jutsu worked, and all those years of practicing with the littlest chakra she had paid off.
"Umm…..San-Nee-Chan. Can you get off me. I can't breath."
San gasped and jumped back to where she was before. Sakura and her sister giggled at each other and Sakura continued to get hugged by everyone in the room. When it got to Naruto's turn, the room turned silent.
'I wonder what happened while I was out.'
'I don't know but that Kyuubi sure can rile up a girl. Then he leaves me hanging! I'll have to teach him a lesion!'
'Oh great! You still are perverted! I wonder how he will react when you try to control him……'
'He will want more!' Inner Sakura said with a wink.
Sakura shot Naruto a smile and Naruto captured her into a gentle hug. Sakura shot her sister a glance and her sister gave her a glance back. She couldn't help but have a blush show up on her face.
'She told him. She told him everything.'
'Whose complaining?!'
'You're right. For once.'
Sakura couldn't contain her smile as she hugged Naruto back. She could feel him stiffen, but he wasn't stiff for long because he was melting by her touch. Tsunade made a loud cough to get them to stop.
"Tsunade-Sama! Come on! They were getting into it!" San said to the Hokage. Tsunade shot Itachi a look and he just stood there. If she thought he was going to ruin the entertainment, she was stupid.
"Sakura. I need some answers out of you." Tsunade said to Sakura.
Sakura looked up at her mentor and smiled. "sure Tsunade-Shinsui. What do you want to know."
Sundae looked at San and San nodded her head. "She wants to know how you survived the Jutsu, Sakura. You do know, you made history for being the second person to survive that deadly jutsu."
Sakura blushed when she realized what she did. "Well……ummm…..I guess I will start from the beginning then. You see, before I got my memory back, I read a book that could bring back the dead. That as when all I could think about was what happened to you San." Sakura said as she smiled at her older sister.
"Continue Sakura." Tsunade said, writing everything down.
"So after I read that book I decided to hold down my chakra. Since it said that the Jutsu uses all your chakra, I decided that I needed to learn to be able to live with extremely low chakra."
She then turned to Naruto. "That's why I never fought during the missions with you and Sasuke. I was afraid of what would happen if I used to much chakra."
Then she turned to Hinata. "But when you were hurt during the Chunnin Exam Hinata. I had to help you, no matter what would happen. That's when Kakashi-Sensei found out I was holding my chakra."
"When The Third sent us on a mission to Cloud, that's when I figured out how to use my low chakra. I battled River and used some of my sealed chakra to win the battle." She said to Tsunade.
"Once you became Hokage, Tsunade-Shinsui, I thought it would be a good idea to ask to be your apprentice, so I could help people and I knew it would help me in the long run."
"I asked you for the one year solo training so I could work on that Jutsu. Wit the knowledge of where all the vital puncture points, and how much the body can withstand, I knew it would be able to crack down the Jutsu."
She then turned her attention to he parents. "And when I was kidnapped my Sasuke, I sensed Takashi's chakra. I figured since you would try to find me anyways, I wasn't hurting anyone."
She then turned to her sister. "I ran as fast as I could, chasing him to Kohana. I knew that yesterday was the day he would pay for what he did. So I told Nii-Chan to come so he would finally learn the truth."
Tsunade nodded her head. "Ok Sakura, so you're telling me that you held your chakra in so you learned to withstand the conditions when you barely have any charka."
"Hai."
San then continued. "And knowing how the human body worked inside and out, you were able to put the two and two together to survive the jutsu?"
Sakura turned to San and nodded her head. "Yup. But I don't advise someone to do that."
San couldn't help but ruffle her sister's hair. Sakura shot San a childish pout. Causing the two girls to laugh.
"Well Sakura, this is going in the scrolls. Can I have only one person at a time in the room please."
Tsunade heard everyone groan at her. But she didn't pay any attention to it. Once everyone was out, she saw that Naruto and Sakura were finally going to get their alone time.
'Finally.'
And with that Tsunade closed the door. To give them privacy.
Once the door was shut, Naruto turned to Sakura and flashed her his foxy grin.
"Great to have you back Sakura-Chan! Your sister is really funny."
Sakura giggled at him. "Oh yeah? You should see her when she tries to buy a present the last minute. It gets really entertaining."
Soon the room turned silent. Sakura couldn't bare it anymore. "Naruto?"
Naruto turned his head to her. "Yeah Sakura-Chan?"
"What did my sister say to you while I was out?"
Naruto couldn't help but blush madly as he remembered what San told him. Then he gulped. "Umm……well she just told me……."
'Tell her Kit! Tell her that you love her! Do it! it's now or never!'
Sakura watched as Naruto began to fidget. She had an idea of what her sister could possibly tell him. But the way he as acting, it seemed that she was right.
'Awe. How cute. He is nervous.'
Sakura bit her lip to surpass her giggles. Naruto heard the bed covers shift, he looked to his right and was met with a full on lip lock.
'Oww, Oww! Go get her!'
Naruto did just that. Her kiss was so warm and so soft. Much better than he imagined. Soon, he as on top of her and they were having a full on make out session. His tongue would play with hers and then hers would tickle the inside of his cheek. His hands went to the pink locks that he always was obsessed about. He wrapped his fingers in the silky soft hair tugging softly here and there. Sakura started to trace his whisker marks on his face. Feeling him tense above her made her smile.
But they were cut short for San opened up the door.
"Oh Sakura-Chan…..!" San stopped talking for what she saw was something she "wasn't" expecting.
"San-Nee-Chan!" Sakura shouted at her sister. San couldn't help but laugh at her little sister. Sakura took a pillow from the chair Naruto was previously sitting on and throw it at the door.
San shut the door and had a content smile on her face. Everyone except her and Itachi went for lunch, they knew the two love birds would be in there for a while. Itachi pulled her against him and placed his chin on her head.
San snuggled closely to his chest and took a deep breath in and out.
'Seems like there is a happy ending after all.'
