Chapter 8
The bath felt really good. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed me a water bottle and a picture of team 7 before we got separated. I climbed onto the roof and laid the picture beside me and drunk a little of water before lying down on my back to star gaze.
I know definitely after today that I was getting stiff and not up to my full potential when executing some things. I need to start training somewhere so I could be prepared for the upcoming battle between Kabuto and I. "Your going down, Kabutops."

"SHANNAROU!"
(crash, boom)
As the dust cleared away from the area surrounded by woods and a small stream of water was nearby. I slowly relaxed from my battle stance and into a relaxing stance. Walking over to the stream, I cupped my hands together and dipped it into the water. Pulling my hands up to my face, I took a nice big gulp of water to cool my body down from the intense training I have put myself in.
Today was a Sunday, so I had time to do some training and sending Tsunade-shisou an update about my mission. She wasn't pleased upon hearing about Kabutops showing up and asked me if I needed some help with finishing up my mission. I quickly sent a message back declining the offer.
Pulling my aching body up from the intense two-day training with out any breaks. I knew that it was a bad idea once I realized that my chakra had disappeared around this morning. Doing a quick stretch so that my muscles wouldn't tense up and then started to fix my training outfit. (The outfit I wore when Naruto came home)
Walking to the edge of the stream, I sat down with my legs crossed and started meditating for at least an hour and a half before my tummy started to growl for food. Letting out a sigh, I slowly got up and walked toward my backpack and threw that on before taking the genjutsu off of the forest so that Kabutops wouldn't come and watch or attack me. And don't worry I chose an area far away from any nearby city or little town.
Throwing my hands into a Transportation jutsu, I then transported myself to my apartment.
Once I arrived I made my way over to my bedroom and toward the bathroom to take a nice hot shower. Walking out of the shower I then threw a yellow fluffy towel around my body and tied my hair into a bun with strands of wet pink hair framing my face.
(Ring, Ring)
Blinking my eyes at the new sound in the house, I then raised an eyebrow "Who could be calling me?" I asked myself.
Walking out of the bathroom and the bedroom and into the living room that had my house phone inside sitting on a stand beside the couch. Picking up the phone, I asked into the receiver.
"Moshi, moshi."
There was a lite chuckle on the other line.
Narrowing my eyes, I then said.
"Kabuto." I growled his name out threw my pink plump lips.
"Hai, Sakura-chan. You don't mind me calling you that, do you?" he said.
I rolled my eyes and said, "What do you want?"
He let out another chuckle and said, " I thought we went through this already, Sakura-chan. And here I thought that you was the smartest out of team 7 clearly I'm wrong."
"Well your brain must be on overdrive from the thinking you have been doing. And don't bring them into this."
Letting out a bored sigh, he then said, "Whatever Sakura-chan, I just wanted to know if your ready for tomorrow?"
Raising a pink eyebrow "What do you mean?"
"Well, well did Sakura-chan forget about our date? I'm hurt that you could easily forget me." He said in a fake hurt tone.
"Oh please, just shut up and tell me what you are planning." I said with an annoyed tone.
"Battle, one a clock, shopping plaza, tomorrow. Don't be late." And with that said he ended the conversation.
Putting my phone down, I looked over at the clock to see that it read six o'clock in the evening. I walked back into my bedroom and toward my closet to pull out my pajamas. I pulled out Naruto's old orange shirt and black capri sweats. Slipping them on, I then made my way back into the living room and then to the kitchen to whip me up some dinner.
Once I was done, I clean my dishes and put them back into their correct places and walked toward my living room and picked up my bag that held all my ninja stuff and sat down on the couch and started to go though all of my stuff making sure that everything was there and ready for use tomorrow. When I was done I turned the television on and laid my head on the arm of the couch and started to think of strategies for tomorrow's battle.

The next day
I felt good and new since the sleep made my chakra return to me over the course of night. After taking my shower I quickly dressed in my ANBU gear. Which consisted of black spandex short shorts, black tank top that reached above my bellybutton, silver chest plate that reached below my breast, black ankle ninja sandals, black fingerless gloves that came up to my elbow, and armor for my shins and arms.
Pulling my hair into a high ponytail and slipping my cat mask on the side of my face and pulling out my weapons pouch and strapped it to my thigh and sealed my scroll into my wrist. Before leaving I took a quick bite of an apple and leapt out of my open window and silently landing on the roof beside mine.
Crouching low, I closed my eyes and searched for Amu and Kabutops signature. Sensing that they are far away from each other and Amu was at school, I then got up from my stance and leapt toward the school.
Once I arrived on top of the school I noticed that Yuu Nikaidou was not in the school from the lack of his aura. "Something must be up." I said to myself.
Putting chakra into my eyes for enhanced vision like the Byakugan. Peering inside the building, I quickly found Amu in her third period class looking utterly bored. I smirked at the face she was making and cancelled the vision so I was now looking at gray cement. Standing up, I looked toward the sun to see what time it was and noticed that it was almost one o clock by the way the sun sat.
It was almost time to meet up with Kabuto. Closing my eyes, I then started to conceal my chakra so he wouldn't detect me coming. Turning in the direction to the plaza, I tightened my gloves and slowly started to disappear into cherry blossom petals that then scattered and flew into different directions toward the plaza.
Once the petals arrived at the plaza and flew together into a dark alley, I started to form into my shape of my body. Slipping my mask on, I slowly started to walk toward the exit of the alley that faced the plaza. Once I was there, some people looked at me strangely while others admired the way I dressed and my mask.
And there I saw him, dressed in that ugly ninja gear he wore and that ugly smirk on his face that made him look like he was about to rape a little kid. He saw me by the way his eyes roamed over my body and nod his head at my presence. A shiver went down my back when he looked me over but let me tell you that it was not even close to pleasant.
He pulled out a kunai and started to twirl it on his finger, then he let it soar threw the air directly toward me. Narrowing my eyes, I cocked my head to the right and let the kunai sore through the air and missing me. Once I heard it lodge itself into the wall behind me then I heard it started to sizzle.
"A paper bomb!" I yelled inside my head, before it could go off and likely blow myself up into little bits. I flashed step behind Kabuto with my back facing his back. Once the bomb went off, people started to scream and run away. Fire was quickly spreading around the area. I narrowed my eyes at the aftermath, my anger quickly arising.
Sensing my anger Kabuto pulled out more explosive tags connected to his kunai and then sprinted off down the street and throwing them at random places.
My eyes widen behind my mask and took off behind him. "let's hope that the fire department saves everyone."
Hearing screams of pain and fright, I slid to a stop and saw people either stuck or injured. Quickly throwing my hands into rapid hand signs. "Kage boushin!"
Thousands of sturdy clones appear and ran toward the disaster caused by Kabuto. Feeling that the people were going to be okay and a little bit of my chakra, I dashed off into the direction were Kabutops went off into.
A couple of minutes later
Once I landed into a clearing with the city not to far from me and the school twenty minutes away as well.
In a flash I had pulled out my scroll and my battle ax that blocked Kabuto's kunai.
Standing face to face, I saw how his eyes were showing cockiness that reminded me of my ex-teammate. Pushing back away from him and putting some distance between us I then launched a couple of kunai and shurrikan toward his body. Once he dodged to the left, I flash stepped toward his new location and aimed my ax to his neck but he easily ducked and kicked my feet from under me. Back flipping quickly from falling on my butt then used one hand to slam into the ground to cause a crater and hopefully make him fall into it.
Well looky there he fell!(:
Forming quick hand signs and slamming my hands on the ground, I then muttered "Earth style: Cherry Blossom cage." Big and strong looking vines came up from the ground and made a cage to trap him into it. Again I threw my hands into another set of hands signs and said, "Fire style: Cherry blossom Dragon."
Cherry blossoms flew from behind me then toward Kabuto with fire on the tips of them and started to form a dragon and charged toward my prisoner.
Sensing his chakra disappear before the dragon could even touch him and felt him appear behind me a couple of meters away.
(Clap, clap)
"Very good, Sakura-chan. But not good enough." He said then lunged toward me aiming for my neck using his chakra scapel.
And then all you could hear was flesh being torn and bones being separated.
Four hours later
(clang, clang)
(pant, pant)
(Cling, boom)
"SHANNAROU!"
"JUST DIE ALREADY!"
(Boom, slash)
(Cling, cling)
"H-heh (pant) I-I w-w-won't (pant) g-g-o (dodge) DOWN SO EASILY!"
(Cling, cling)
"AAAHHHHHH!"
Pulling away from Kabuto, I then jumped toward my bloodied ax and pulled it out of the ground. I watched as Kabuto shakily stand up from the punch I gave him in the gut.
We had both been fighting nonstop and ended up farther away from the school and city like I hoped. I checked to see how much chakra Kabuto had and realized that he only had enough to perform a couple more of jutsus and then he was out.
"Amu, are you okay?" I thought to myself. Sometime during our fight I sensed Amu was in danger but, I couldn't go to save her. I closed my eyes and wished for her to be safe then quickly opened them.
Seeing movement in the corner of my eye made me pick up my ax and throw it like a boomerang toward Kabutops.
Since we were both at our limits our movements were slow so Kabuto got a nice clean cut on his side to add to the other numerous cuts and wounds. Both of our clothes were cut and bloodied, his hair was out of its ponytail like mine, and we had numerous of deep wounds and cuts around our bodies with blood caked onto our clothes. To some it all up we looked like shit. Oh and don't forget, I don't know how I did it but, I tore his left arm out of it's socket.
I stumbled back a little from the force I used on the throw. Using my right hand, I made it search through my pouch to find me some soldier pills. I quickly popped one in and lunged forward toward Kabuto but, a dangerous force appeared and Amu's signature flashed then went back to normal.
Sensing that I was distracted, kabuto grabbed a kunai and disappeared from my sight and hid. Since his chakra was low I couldn't sense where he was. I then ran toward my ax and was about to pull it out but, I was then introduced to a bloodied kunai sticking into my back almost going straight through my stomach.
"AAAHHH!" I yelled before I collapsed onto the ground with Kabuto hovering over me. He then started to kick me in the side making the wound on my side that I had finally healed get bruised. My body felt so weak at the moment.
I grunted in pain at every kick he inflicted on my body, I was slowly going in and out of consciousness.
Shakily I pulled my right hand into a one hand sign that would teleport me from him and away from the kicking.
Once I was at least far away from him to heal a couple of my major wounds, starting with the one that still had the kunai stuck into it.
Ten minutes
That was all I had before he found me again. Since I took a soldier pill I had half of my chakra left, I could still be able to defeat Kabuto.
Once we were going to launch at each other once again a weird noise was coming toward us. And it was coming fast. I quickly drew away from Kabuto and prepared for what the noise could do. But it was some type of flying mechanism with people inside.
And I believe that it had a video camera? Looking closely I found the name of the mechanism. "Channel 8 news." I muttered to myself. My eyes then widen in shock and fear. I could be quickly put on the news and I might get caught at my whole purpose on being here in this dimension. But I was lucky since my cat mask was still in place so I was fine for the duration of time. Kabuto was also looking at the mechanism but, quickly faced me and lunged for me with his last chakra scapel he could make using one hand since I tore the other one off.
Sensing danger coming toward me I put chakra into my fists and lunged as well toward Kabuto.
At Amu's house
I was not in the mood to eat today. Ever since Ran, Miki, and Suu were kidnapped by Naikaidou-sensei today, I felt lonely with out there cheery presence.
"ATTENTION, ATTENTION!"
I quickly turned my attention toward the television that had the news on it. My family stopped cuddling Ami and focused their attention on the television as well.
"We have found the two suspects that have probaly caused the damaged to our Shopping plaza today. Amiki-san has more news of the subject."
I rose a an eyebrow " Who would damage the plaza?"
Then the lady in the office changed to a different lady flying in a helicopter.
"Yes Mikoto, as you can see I am currently flying over a clearing that is two hours away from the city." The lady then leaned out of the helicopter a little and the camera following her every move.
"We have found two suspicious people out here and looks like that they are in what seems like a very sudden death match between the two."
With that said the camera was then faced toward the ground that had two people standing and panting. They were currently looking at the helicopter with confused glances and they were majorly injured by the way the blood was seeping out of their body. But on closer inspection the one with no mask looked like the guy that attacked Sakura-san!
Amu's eyes widen once the other figure with the mask moved to the right when the man came running towards her. Pink hair flew after the person, as she took off toward the charging man.
Slamming her hand on the table and standing up in her chair "Sakura!"
In another and not destroyed plaza, a shop with teleys were showing the news
A alley cat with his chara were walking past the shop that had people crowded around it.
The kitty chara flew over to look at the commotion while Ikuto stood to the side with his hands in his pocket staring across the street.
"We have found the two suspects that have probaly caused the damaged to our Shopping plaza today. Amiki-san has more news of the subject."
Then the lady in the office changed to a different lady flying in a helicopter.
"Yes Mikoto, as you can see I am currently flying over a clearing that is two hours away from the city." The lady then leaned out of the helicopter a little and the camera following her every move.
"We have found two suspicious people out here and looks like that they are in what seems like a very sudden death match between the two."
With that said the camera was then faced toward the ground that had two people standing and panting. They were currently looking at the helicopter with confused glances and they were majorly injured by the way the blood was seeping out of their body. But on closer inspection the one with no mask looked like the guy that fought with Sakura.
"Eh, Ikuto. Come here-nya!" Yoru shouted toward his master.
Rolling his eyes, Ikuto then walked over toward the televisions and looked through peoples heads and watched quietly.
Ikuto's eyes widen once the other figure with the mask moved to the right when the man came running towards her. Pink hair flew after the person, as she took off toward the charging man.
"Sakura!"
Back at the battle
Sensing danger coming toward me I put chakra into my fists and lunged as well toward Kabuto.
Once we were near each other, I slammed my fist into his jaw and his scapel cut one of my organs in my stomach. Before he could get away from me again, I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and put more chakra into my other fists and launched it toward his face. Kabuto then flew through at least a dozen trees and finally stopped against a bulkier tree. Pulling myself into a slouch and then I summoned Katsuya to go and finish off Kabuto and return to me once done to heal me.
When Katsuya was out of my sight, I then collapsed onto the cold and hard ground below me.
But not performing a couple of more hand signs to put an illusion over my body so that the news could not come down and take me somewhere or cops trying to put me in jail.
"So sleepy." I muttered to myself
