Part 3

Chapter eight

Reunion of the past regrets

Disclaimer: I don't own anything… not even my socks. I stole those.

( note that Itachi will remain to be Itachi unless when someone is talking.)

Sakura and Itachi appeared in a flash of moonlight before the guards, who were chatting innocently in the sun.

They shielded they're eyes when the extra flash exploded, releasing the bright light.

"Who are you?" The first asked, his hand raised to his wrinkled brow.

"Hey Genma… its you. Long time no see."

The ninja squinted his brown eyes and saw the pink haired girl. "Sakura? Is that really you?"

"Yes. Its me." Sakura grabbed onto Itachi's arm and brought him to see Genma, who patted her on the head lightly. "This is my boyfriend, Tachi."

Genma stared at the blossomed flower and to the man, growling in his head. Slowly his lips turned up.

"Congrats. You can go in now."

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo

The gates opened slowly, letting a blinding amount of sunlight. Naruto covered his eyes when he saw two shadows appear.

"Is that…" Naruto's face lit up, as he squinted his face. Ecstatically he began to wave his hands and arms, flailing them around him. "Sakura!"

Sasuke cocked his head towards the two shadows as the came closer, and the gates closed, filling the shadows with color. He didn't know if she looked like this before she left, for he was already gone, but she looked better.

Sakura pulled Naruto into a hug as Sasuke and Itachi watched her every move, though Itachi was watching more of Naruto and where he put his hands.

Sakura took a step back, Naruto still in her hands. She sighed a smiled on her lips as she looked him up and down. "You've grown."

Naruto lazily scratched the back of his head. "So have you, Believe it! Your pretty Sakura!"

And it was true, Sasuke thought as his eyes hungrily devoured her. Sizing up her shiny hair that brushed her collarbone. His onyx orbs stared at her sweeping bangs, that were a darker shade of pink then the rest of her hair, they swept over her glossy green eyes and down the rest of her body. Flowing from her black and pink tube top that barely reached her belly button, down to the black pants that tide tight at her ankles, but baggy around her legs. Her shoulders were bare and her midriff showed a scar less figure, the only clue to her training was the bandages that wrapped both her arms and the lonely scar on her lower back. A long horizontal line of darkened flesh traveling from one love handle to the next, but what caught his eye was the two headbands tied to her upper arm. Not one, but two. One with the familiar shape of the Konoha leaf, and another with a crescent moon. She'd changed.

Finally, Sakura let out a heavy breath and released Naruto, stepping back and letting Itachi wrap his arms around her, "Who's this." Sasuke sneered, crossing his arms over his chest.

Sakura looked over to him for the first time. "Wow," Sasuke smirked. "I didn't even noticed you were here Sasuke. This is my boyfriend, Tachi." Sasuke's smirk faltered, as he noticed three things he did not like, the first being that she didn't notice, the second was it was no longer 'Sasuke-kun' and the last being as that she had a boyfriend.

Itachi held out a hand, to be ignored. Retreating his hand, he let out his own smirk. "I've heard much about Naruto and Kakashi." He let out a growl and recomposed himself, "But nothing about Sasuke." Itachi smirked again as he watched the scowl deepen on Sasuke's face.

"Well. Tachi and I have to be going to the Hokage's now. Goodbye."

"Sakura wait!" Sasuke growled.

"Yes…"

"Why do you have two head bands."

Sakura looked at her arm and began to finger her necklace that her grandma gave her. "I discovered much in Moon. I learned I still had family. One member related by blood there. I learned how to yield my fathers katanna that he gave me when I was ten," Sakura patted the sheath that rested on her hip, that was overlooked by the rest, "I was trained there. It's where I became a temporary assassin… used for training of coarse and only for missing nins, and… Its also where I killed my first, and where many memories lie. Its where I've done much, where I learned much… its where I learned of my bloodli-" But she never finished the sentence because a flash of moonlight took them away, but of coarse she did it on purpose. She didn't want them to know. Not yet anyways.

Kakashi watched as his showing eye was blinded by the light. Tch. She's still weak.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Hands pushed open big oak doors as she barged into the room with a handsome man behind her and snuck before the desk. Slowly she leant forward down to the ear and screamed, a nail curling, ear splintering yelp. The blonde shot open and began to holler at whomever had awaked her from her drunken nap.

She began to scream until she recognized the pink hair. The green eyes. In a tear stricken gasp Tsunade pulled the teenager into a hug, " Sakura!" Their two bodies collided as Sakura accepted the hug, letting Tsunade snuggle her face into the pink heads hair. And in a whisper you could make out the words, "Happy Birthday."

The two separated the hug, Tsunade a instantly sober smile still apparent on her face. Tsunade pursed her lips. "Who's this?"

"This is Tachi. He helped train me… along with Kana. But she is not here." Sakura said as she dragged her fingers through her hair, fingering her necklace with her other hand.

"Anything you learned. Are you strong?… And do your loyalties still lie in Konoha?" Tsunade added as she noticed the second head band.

"I learned much… a bloodline. The others do not know yet… I could be stronger. As to my loyalties… I will always be faithful to Konoha, I just am also loyal to moon. My home country, to where my ancestors are from."

"Great. Want a drink?" She offered Tachi and Sakura, who declined it warily.

Tsunade sighed, placing the sake bottle on her desk.

"its been long, and I'm sure you two want to go and connect with each other so git!"

Tachi smiled wistfully as he bowed ,"Thank you Hokage-sama."

"Whatever. Sakura, expect an ability evaluation soon… I promise to keep Jiraiya away from your room, your dismissed."
