Arc 2
The Bridge
Sorry for not updating I've been having a lot of trouble with school and since theirs only one month left I have been working really hard so I'll try my best to update on both my stories… And thank you to the people who have reviewed on my last chapter of this story I was beginning to think I would have to delete this story but you saved me from doing that. So on with the Story! R&R and I don't own Naruto
knock knock
"Hmm who could that be?" Sakura said to herself opening her eyes to look at the ceiling she then looked over to the clock to see it was 12:00. "Hmm that's nice it's lunch time." She said, "… WAIT IT'S LUNCH TIME?!" She screamed jumping out of bed just as the knocking stopped. "HEY SAKURA-CHAN YOUR LATER THEN KAKASHI-SENSEI AND THE HOKAGE WANTS TO SEE US!" Naruto's obnoxious voice echoed through her quiet house. "I see that Naruto." Sakura hissed to herself as she ran into the bathroom. "You guys can come in just wait in my living room while I have a quick shower." Sakura shouted to them as she heard her door open.
"That's if we can find it." Naruto said looking into the huge house. "Since when did Sakura live in such a big house?" Sasuke asked nobody in particular, "Well that would be since her parents died when she was six… I believe they gave her all the money they had from missions which was a lot of money seeing as both were ANBU." Kakashi said to them. "OH now I remember Sakura-chan said she lives in this house because her parents wanted to buy it once they got home from the mission they died on." Naruto said sadly. "I see." Sasuke said quietly then he sat down to wait for their teammate that was later then their sensei.
"Man that felt nice." Sakura said to herself as she walked into her bedroom to get dressed, "What to wear, What to wear." Sakura said to herself as she opened her huge walk-in closet. "Hmm black and gray? Or Red and white? Or Purple and blue?" Sakura questioned herself as she moved through her closet looking at her clothes. "I know how about black and red it looks good together so that's that black and red it is." She said to herself and grabbed a red shirt, a black skirt and some blue shorts to go under her skirt. (Just picture her in her clothes she wears in the shippuden except in the other colors) She put them on and then grabbed her headband and tied it around her arm like Shikamaru's. "I like." She said and grabbed her weapons and put them in the correct places.
"Hey guys sorry about that," she said as she walked into her living room to see her teammates looking at various things. "Naruto why are you looking at my picture of me and my parents and Kakashi why are you looking at my dads Icha Icha Paradise books I mean you may like to read them but those are only vary special and you can't touch them!" Sakura said slapping Kakashi's hands away from the books she then looked at Sasuke who was actually the only one not looking at her stuff but at the clock. "Shouldn't we be going to the hokage tower now?" Sakura asked getting all there attention by walking toward the door. "Huh… Oh right lets go." Kakashi said looking longingly at the books Sakura had made sure he hadn't touched. "OW!" Kakashi said as Sakura grabbed him by the ear and dragged him out of her home.
"No books for you until you finish the mission we are going on." Sakura said as she let go of his ear. "You mean you'll let me borrow some?" Kakashi asked looking at her with big eyes. "Yea sure just stop with the eyes it's scaring me." Sakura said glaring at him. He nodded and they ran to the Hokage tower so as not to be later then they already were.
"Your late!" The hokage said glaring at them. "Sorry hokage-sama I accidentally slept in I didn't mean to I swear, please don't be mad." Sakura said giving the hokage puppy dog eyes that nobody could resist except her father. "Fine, fine bring in our guest." The hokage said melting at how cute Sakura's eyes were. 'Man that was to easy… but it's fun.' Sakura thought holding back he laughter that was threatening to break out. Then the door slammed open. "Hey I thought I asked for good protection not I wasn't expecting such little squirts." The man that Sakura could tell reeked of alcohol. "And what about that little shrimp what can he do anyway make me laugh to death?" he asked. Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto all line up… "HEY YOU OLD BAG TAKE THAT BACK!!" Screamed Naruto. Everybody sweatdropped, "You baka shut up before the hokage decides to give us a D-rank mission instead of this one." Sakura hiss making Naruto shut up instantly. "Sorry Sakura-chan I'll be good." He whispered. "Fine, fine I'll let them take me back to my home an by the way I'm Tazuna" (sp?) 'Wow what a change in attitude.' Sakura thought, 'That alcohol must be really strong.' She thought again. "Okay team 7 go home and get packed you leave as soon as you all get to the gates." The hokage said to the they nodded and left to pack.
HALF A HOUR LATER
Sakura stood at the gates talking to the somehow now sober Tazuna about how he was a major bridge builder and a lot about the bridge he was building to help his country, "My that sounds interesting." Sakura said looking at the gates. 'After all these years I'll finally leave this place to go to wave. I haven't been to Mist since mother and I left to have a girls days out for 2 days.' Sakura thought smiling at the memory of her and her mother in their human forms walking down the streets. "Hey girl what was your name again I don't remember you telling me." Tazuna's voice broke through her thoughts and brought her back to reality. "Hmm? Oh… My name is Sakura… Haruno Sakura." She said smiling "And my teammates are Sasuke Uchiha he's the one with the chicken but hair style. And Then theirs Naruto Uzumaki the one who yelled at you for calling you a shrimp and then theirs my sensei Kakashi Hatake or Sharingan Kakashi." Sakura said to him smiling at the shock on his face. "I didn't think you knew that much about me Sakura." A voice said in Sakura's ear making her scream and spin around. "Kakashi-sensei don't so that!" She shrieked in surprise. "How do you know so much about me?" Kakashi asked. "I did my research, and I know everything about you. It comes in handy when I know about everybody in the whole village. I was aloud to look at the files of many ninja in this village I think I went through them all and I also found out a lot more about a lot of the ANBU. Hokage-sama says I could work for him in identifying people and seeing through many lethal and harder to see genjutsu seeing as I have been working around in the ANBU headquarters a lot more to help find out who murdered my parents." She said smiling at him and then turned and watched as Naruto and Sasuke raced over to them glaring at each other.
Once they left the gates they started walking down the path toward Mist. 'It's going to be fun to see how many criminals we come across just by talking to Tazuna I can tell this mission is well above C-rank it must be around A or even S-Ranked missions.' Sakura thought watching the soundings. 'Man this is getting tiring.' Sakura thought but stopped when she noticed the puddle of water. 'Man that is the worst hiding place I have ever seen but I thin I might just see what they do if I step on them.' Sakura thought stepping right in the middle of the puddle. 'Must hold back laughter must hold back.' Sakura thought as she walked through the whole puppet hearing a grunt that was silent to others. 'It comes in handy to be a demon.' Sakura thought as she walked over to Sasuke and Naruto to stop them from fighting.
Then out of the puddle she just stepped in two men wearing armor and poisoned claws jumped out and chains flew around Kakashi. "KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Sakura shouted as she turned to see that one was heading toward Tazuna. "TAZUNA-SAN!" She shouted moving in front of him and doing rapid handsigns. "FIRE STYLE: RED WOLF JUTSU!" she shouted. (Okay I didn't want to use a fire style jutsu that Sasuke uses so I made it up. Tell me if you like it) and out of her mouth came a giant wolf made of fire and it attacked the assassin who had been about to hit them right in the chest.
'YEA DIRECT HIT!" Sakura thoughts happily then watched as the smoke disappeared to reveal the Nin had jumped back just in time to only get a few burns. "Dang I missed." She said then watched as wires flew around the two and stuck them to a tree. "KAKASHI-SENSEI YOUR ALIVE!" They all shouted except for Tazuna who sighed in relief. 'Lazy ass.' Sakura thought as she had seen Kakashi had just been watching them fight the whole time, "Kakashi-sensei why did you leave us to fight?" Sakura asked looking at him as he sighed. "I wanted to see how well you would be able to fight with out me." Kakashi said rubbing the back of his head. "Hey they disappeared!" Sasuke said looking at the now cut wires. "We won't be seeing them again they have left the area." Kakashi said turning to Naruto. "Your hand… It's been cut." He said walking over to take a look at his hand.
Sakura went passed Kakashi and took Naruto's hand, "You might want to stop moving the poison will spread faster is you move." Sakura said, "I'll grab some bandages and some antidote." Sakura said turning around to grab her bag only to see Naruto grab a Kuni and stab it into his hand and say something about finishing this mission no matter what. "Now your going to die from blood loss the way your hands bleeding." Sakura said grabbing his hand making him blush in the process. 'What the, is that what I think it is? It is it's fathers chakera it's healing his hand.' Sakura thought in amazement. "Hey Sakura-chan are you going to bandage up my hand or are you just going to stare at it?" Naruto said still blushing.
"Hmm? Oh… Damn I seem to be spacing out a lot sorry." Sakura said as she quickly put the bandages on Naruto's wound that was now gone. 'Better not make it look suspicious.' She thought then standing up and putting her stuff back inside her pack and walking on to catch up with the others who had went on ahead. "Hey you idiots why did you go on a head with out me?" Sakura hissed as she looked at her teammates who just shrugged, "We thought you would notice after a while and we knew you would catch up to us quickly so we went ahead of you two." Kakashi stated. "WOW… Kakashi-sensei that's the most you have ever said to me." Sakura said smiling as Kakashi rolled his eyes.
"How much longer until we can make camp?" Naruto whined for the tenth time that day. "Yea I have to agree we should stop for the night we don't want to run into any trouble during the night so we better get some rest." Sakura agreed with Naruto for the first time that day. "Fine lets rest here for the night." Kakashi sighed. "FINALLY!" Sakura, Naruto and even Sasuke shouted at the same time dropping their bags and moving around to get their stuff ready for the night. "Sakura-chan are you going to cook for tonight?" Naruto asked Sakura as they were getting ready to get some food. Sigh "I guess I am." Sakura said as she opened her bag and pulled out a package of instant Ramen. "YOU BRUNG RAMEN FOR ME?" Naruto asked excitedly. "Yea I got a lot of stuff here you might all like." Sakura said as she put some water in the instant ramen and put it close to the fire then pulled out more stuff and a bottle of sake. "I thought you might like this Tazuna-san." Sakura said and handed it to him. "Thank you." He replied. "Look in this bag and see if you like anything if you do take it and eat it." Sakura said as she pulled out some apples in a bag and started eating them, Sasuke looked in and grabbed a bag of tomato's and began eating his own while Kakashi took some strawberries. "Sakura-chan you're the vest but why did you pack food that could go rotten?" Naruto asked sounding smart for once. "Well I felt like it and I'm pretty sure none of you packed any food." Sakura replied watching as all of them looked a little sheepish that they had forgotten to pack food for themselves. "Thank you Sakura." Kakashi said, "Whatever." Sakura said and went back to eating more apples. 'Well I guess I have learned something they forget things sometimes.' Sakura thought. "I think I'm going to wander around for a while if that is okay Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked looking toward him. "You can just don't go to far away so you don't get lost." He replied. "Thanks!" Sakura said running off into the trees to look around.
'I can go as far as I want since I have such a good nose.' Sakura thought, "Hmmm I'll go this way." Sakura said to her self and took off into the trees again. As she ran she turned into her wolf form, 'Ahh much better.' She thought and sped up smelling some deer close by. 'Just what I was looking for.' She though and went into her hunting mode and went after the poor deer. "Yummy." Sakura said as after she ate her fill and then started to go back to camp. 'I think I'll play a trick.' Sakura thought as she was quite close to camp. She then stepped back and howled.
Back at camp they all froze when they heard the howl, "That sounded close." Naruto whispered. "Yea it did are you scared Naruto?" Sasuke mocked Naruto. "GRRRR I'LL KILL YOU TEME!" Naruto screamed, then they heard a loud crack from where they heard the howl. "It's going to eat us!" Naruto said in horror. "What's going to eat you?" Sakura said stepping out of the trees. "SAKURA-CHAN DIDN'T YOU HEAR THAT HOWL?!" Naruto shouted in shock. "Yea… What of it?" Sakura asked looking at them. "It was so close and we thought you were the wolf coming to eat us." Naruto said sheepishly. "You thought I was a wolf?" Sakura asked looking insulted. "Yes no yes umm no?" Naruto said looking around at the others who were looking at him with smirks well you could tell Kakashi as smirking under his mask. "Naruto how could you mistake me for a WOLF?!" Sakura asked taking slow dangerous steps toward him. "Sorry Sakura-chan it's just that I was a little freaked out because of that howl." Naruto said backing away. "Naruto I wouldn't take another step backwards." Sakura said. To bad because he did and fell straight on the burning fire. "OOOOOOOWWWWWWW OOOOOWWWW OOOOOWW OOOOOOWWW!" Naruto screamed and jumped around trying to put out the fire that had started on his butt.
"HELP ME!!" Naruto screamed Sakura then lifted her hand and did some handsigns and a small burst of water came out of her hand and hit Naruto in the butt successfully putting out the fire. "Naruto you're a idiot." Sakura said. "and I warned you too." She added. Then burst out laughing at him. "Sakura-chan it's not funny!" Naruto said. "Too you it may not but to us it is." Kakashi said chuckling at him, "Yes I is." Sasuke said and chuckled along with them Tazuna laughed with them. "Trust me someday we will look back at this day and laugh so hard we will fall over." Sakura said holding her sides. "I guess your right it was pretty funny." Naruto sighed. "Well I'm going to bed." Sakura said climbing into her tent and going to sleep. "I am too." Naruto said following Sakura and then going into his tent. "Sasuke you should go to sleep as well. And you too Mr. Tazuna." Kakashi said. "Hai." They both said and went into their tents.
THE NEXT MORNING
Sakura was the first to come out of her tent in the morning and looked at Kakashi sleeping in a tree. "You idiot you must be sore." Sakura said shaking him awake. "You got that right." Kakashi mumbled and looked at her she sighed and pulled a small box of strawberries. "Well I'll wake the others." Sakura said and then walked over to Naruto's tent and poked him with a stick. 'This is fun.' Sakura thought as she watched Naruto shoot up out of his sleeping bag. "Morning." She said Naruto looked at her. "Good morning Sakura-chan." Naruto said sleepily. Sakura then looked in Sasuke's tent he was sitting up. "Morning Sasuke." Sakura said and disappeared out of his tent. "Hn." Was the reply she got. 'Well he's a awake early.' Sakura thought and walked over to Tazuna's tent. She shook him awake and he quickly got dressed and left the tent Sakura had left her bag out so Sasuke and Naruto had grabbed some food Sakura handed Tazuna some apples and ate one for her self. "You mostly packed healthy stuff." Naruto commented. "I know I only packed some Ramen because it is usually only for lunch or supper not breakfast." Sakura said. "Okay guys lets get moving." Kakashi said. The others nodded and they went off again.
Rustle, Rustle
They all looked toward the bushes except Naruto who through a kunai at it. Only to find out it was a white bunny. "OH MY I'M SO SORRY MR.BUNNY!" He cried and hugged it. 'It's white but it's not even close to winter.' Kakashi thought. "GET DOWN!" Sakura shouted grabbing Naruto just in time as a huge sword went flying over their heads. "SAKURA-CHAN YOU SAVED ME!" Naruto shouted and hugged her forgetting all about the bunny that ran off into the trees. "Naruto let go we have to protect Mr. Tazuna!" Sakura said. They both jumped up and went to Tazuna and got in their formation. Kakashi stood in front of them. "Zabuza Momochi (sp?)" Kakashi said. Sakura froze 'Zabuza Momochi? He's one of the seven swordsmen of mist.' Sakura thought. "Well, well, well if it isn't Copy Ninja Kakashi." Zabuza's cold voice echoed in the three genin's ears. "This is bad he's a Jonnin like Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura whispered to Sasuke and Naruto. "Not good." She heard Sasuke say. Suddenly a thick mist covered the area. 'Hidden Mist Jutsu!' Sakura thought, 'Well two people can play at that.' She thought. Just as she was about to do some handsigns Zabuza appeared right in between them and Tazuna he sent them flying away from Tazuna. 'Not good!' Sakura thought landing on her feet and running toward Tazuna a then she noticed something Zabuza had disappeared. 'Oh no where is he?' Sakura thought in panic then she stopped and focused. 'Where, where, where, THERE!' She thought and pulled a kunai out and threw it toward Tazuna but it went flying past him and hit the water clone that had appeared behind him. "Yes!" she said and then quickly got to Tazuna. "I am no weakling." Sakura said and pulled out another Kunai and lifting it up to her face then threw it in another direction destroying another clone.
'She's good.' Kakashi thought then looked around 'where is the real one though?' He thought. Suddenly he turned and saw Sakura. "Holding her kunai against the real Zabuza's sword. "I won't let you get near Tazuna-san!" Sakura shouted and pushed him away. Kakashi disappeared and appeared in front of Sakura taking over for her. "Good job Sakura." Sakura looked over to where Sasuke and Naruto were standing not knowing where they should move. "Naruto, Sasuke over here." Sakura said they turned and quickly over to her and they were all in front of Tazuna. "GO KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Naruto shouted and then they froze Kakashi was trapped in a water prison. "Not good." Sakura said and watched as the water clone of Zabuza moved toward them. "Time for you brats to die." Zabuza said and the clone ran at them. "RUN!" Kakashi shouted at them.
"We have to get Kakashi-sensei out of there." Sakura said. "Right." Sasuke and Naruto said. "You all go I'll be fine." Tazuna's voice said to them quietly. They looked at him shocked. "Are mission is to protect you Tazuna-san." Said Sakura. "If he dies I would never be able to forgive myself because I got you all into this mission so go!" He said looking at them. "Fine but we won't let him kill you." Naruto said and then ran forward. Sasuke nodded and followed, "Tazuna… We won't fail this mission and we won't let anybody die… I won't let anybody die." Sakura said. And took off toward the real Zabuza as Sasuke and Naruto attacked his clone. "WATER STYLE: WOLF OF ICE!" Sakura shouted and a huge wolf made of ice charged out of the water and straight toward Zabuza, "LET KAKASHI-SENSEI GO!" Sakura shouted as the wolf missed and then turned and attacked his clone. Sakura quickly jumped away as another clone attacked her. "SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto shouted in amazement. Sakura landed beside Naruto and Sasuke. "Damn it!" Sakura growled and was about to do more hand signs when she heard Sasuke say save your chakera and let us do this Sakura. "Fine." Sakura said and quickly went back to Tazuna. "Those were some Justus." Zabuza said as he dodged the demon shiriken that Sasuke had thrown at him only to find it was Naruto in a transformation jutsu. "Nice job Sasuke, Naruto." Sakura said as Kakashi was released and started to fight Zabuza but before he could kill him Zabuza fell to the ground dead. "What the?" Naruto said and then saw a boy that looked only a few years older then him. "WHATS THE BIG DEAL WE WERE GOING TO KILL HIM!" Naruto shouted the boy just looked at him. "Naruto he's a hunter nin so it's his job to kill all missing nin from his village." Kakashi said looking at him. 'But for some reason I have a bad feeling.' Kakashi thought as the hunter nin disappeared with Zabuza's body. He then fell face first to the ground. "KAKASHI-SENSEI!" Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke all shouted running over to their sensei. "Don't worry guys he just used to much of his chakera but we should get him to a safe place quickly." Sakura said after she checked Kakashi. "My house isn't to far away now lets go." Tazuna said as they all lifted Kakashi and Sakura carried the bags. 'Man why do I have to carry the bags?' Sakura thought.
Once they were at Tazuna's house and Kakashi was rested they met Tazuna's Daughter Tsunami and her son Inari. "Kakashi-sensei we are so glad your awake!" Sakura said. "Yea you had us worried." Tsunami said as she came in with some food. "And thank you for bringing my Father home." She said. "Your welcome." Kakashi relied and took the food and ate it. "We will have to do more training." Kakashi said. "What? Why?" Naruto said. "I think I know why." Sakura said. "Zabuza's alive isn't he?" Sakura said looking at Kakashi who nodded. "BUT HOW WE SAW THAT HUNTER NIN GUY KILL HIM." Naruto shouted. "No Naruto we never saw him kill him we only saw him hit him with senbon which if used correctly can cause a death that will only last about 2-3 hours so he is most likely still alive and that boy is working with him." Sakura explained. "I see." Sasuke and Naruto said at the same time. "But how are you going to train us when you can't even walk straight?" Naruto asked. Sakura then walked over to a closet and pulled out some crutches. "Will these work sensei?" She asked. He nodded. "Now lets go into the forest." Kakashi said and they all walked into the forest and started training.
Once Sakura had finished she went back to the house to find that Tazuna was going shopping. "I'll come with you." Sakura said. "Ok lets go so Tsunami can make supper as soon as we get back." Tazuna said. Sakura nodded and they headed to the market that had more homeless people sitting in the allies then people buying food but that was even scarce. 'How can this place be so poor when my mother told me it was so nice and rich but now since that man came it must have gotten really poor. But that means we have to help them more then this mission told us to…' Sakura thought and then froze. "YOU PERVERT!" She screeched punching a guy who had tried to grab her bag but ended up touching her butt. "You know you can sure make a scene." Tazuna said as they say a few people laughing at the poor guy who got beaten by a girl. "Sorry." Sakura said then froze again, "Okay that's it!" Sakura said turning around to hit whoever had touched her butt. But she froze it was two little kids. "Lady do you have any food?" the little boy asked. Sakura smiled and reached into her pack and pulled out a apple and a loaf of bread, "Will this do?" She asked the two kids nodded and Ran off to give the food to their family. "You know your quite nice when you want to be." Tazuna said and smiled as he watched the little kids giving the food to their family. "It might not of been much but it still makes a difference." Tazuna said and looked at Sakura. "I'll make sure you get that bridge built." Sakura said to him. 'Even if I die trying these people need it.' Sakura thought. "Thank you." She heard Tazuna say she smiled and nodded.
Once they got back they saw Naruto and Sasuke sitting at the table glaring at each other. "Have they been doing that since they got back from training?" Sakura asked, as she set down the bag of food she had helped Tazuna buy. "Yes. They won't stop." Kakashi said reading his book. "I see." Sakura said and walked over to them. "SASUKE, NARUTO STOP IT NOW!!" Sakura shouted, They both turned to her. "Why?" Naruto asked. "We're not at home we are on a mission we do not need you to messing it up especially when Zabuza is still alive." Sakura hissed at them. Kakashi looked up from his book and nodded his head in agreement. "Fine." Naruto and Sasuke said then glared at each other. "Sasuke, Naruto!" Sakura said in a warning tone. "Sorry." They said and went off to do something so they wouldn't get in a fight. At supper they got in a fight and Sakura just sighed. 'They won't stop until they die.' She thought and then noticed the picture. "Tsunami-san why is this picture torn up?" Sakura asked. She the realized she shouldn't of said that because Inari, Tazuna and Tsunami tensed. "The man in that picture was a hero in this small town." Tazuna said Inari interrupted Tazuna before he could continue. "THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS HERO'S! YOU SHOULD ALL GO BACK TO WHERE YOU COME FROM BEFORE YOU DIE!" He cried and ran out of the room. "FATHER YOU KNOW YOUR NOT SUPPOSE TO TALK ABOUT HIM WHEN INARI'S HERE!" Tsunami shouted and ran out of the room after Inari. "Please go on." Sakura said.
"He was Inari's Father like figure since he never knew his real father. He saved him from drowning, some boys had found Inari's bog and said he was theirs and when Inari had annoyed them they threw the poor dog into the water and then pushed Inari in saying it's you dog you save it. But the thing was Inari couldn't swim and well he started to drown and just before the dog drown he figured out how to swim. So the dog swam to shore and left Inari he fell unconscious but when he woke up he found he was with the man that he soon started to see as his father and hero he had just wandered into this villages life and stayed and he became a hero. He saved this village more then once too he stopped it from flooding. We couldn't get the floodgate closed so he tied a rope around himself and dove in he shut the gate and saved us all. But then Gatou came he stood up to Gatou but every person that had done that had been killed but this time it was different he made everybody in the village come and watch as he killed him. He had once said to Inari If you want to protect something precious to you use both arms." He finished tears sliding down his face. "That's so sad but why would he take over this land?" Sakura asked. "He's owns a big trading company. We had good trading but he changed that." Tazuna said. 'We really have to help this land no matter what.' Sakura thought. "We will make sure that your bridge is made." Sakura said before any of her teammates could say anything she had disappeared up the stairs. She was walking down the hall when she hear Inari crying and say that they would all just die and they didn't know what it was like to lose something precious to them. "You know what kid." Sakura said as she walked into the room. Inari turned around. "Don't linger on the past and look to the future and listen up all of us know what it's like to lose something precious to us." She said. Your Father had said if you have something precious to you protect it with both arms and yet you didn't listen to that advice when you need to most, which is now." Sakura continued, "So start helping, and don't be a baby. I lost my father when I was born and I lost my mother not to long after. Sasuke's whole family was killed by his own brother, Naruto didn't even know his family and Kakashi he lost his Father to the Nine-tailed fox so don't tell us we don't know what it's like to lose some body precious to us when we have lost more then you." Sakura said, "Do something you want protect this place with both of you arms and don't cry anymore when things are to tough for you to take, and you should be grateful to us if we weren't here I'm pretty sure that your grandfather would be dead. We are still here because we want to help we will protect this village with both are arms even if you won't." Sakura whispered and left a vary shocked Inari. "Think about it Inari do you think your Father is happy that your letting his advice go to waste when you should be protecting?" Sakura questioned as she walked out of the room. 'Man that made me tired.' Sakura thought and walked into her room.
THE NEXT MORNING
When Sakura woke up she couldn't feel anybody's chakera. "WHAT THEY LEFT ME!?" Sakura screeched. "They said to let you sleep." Inari said looking at her. "Oh well did they head to the bridge?" Sakura asked. "Yea they said you should go join them when your awake." Tsunami said. "Baka's" Sakura growled and took off to go to the bridge. When she was going through the trees she saw a lot of trees looked like the had been sliced by a sword. 'What the heck? OH NO INARI!' Sakura thought and turned around speeding off turning into her wolf form as she ran. 'I have to get back fast!' she thought and sped up.
When she got there she saw Inari holding two of her kunai and trying to fight against two samurai looking guys. "LET MY MOM GO!" He shouted. Sakura growled and jumped out of the tree she was in and grabbed Tsunami and replacing her with a clone and then grabbed Inari. (She was back in her human form.) "You guys okay?" she asked as she looked at them and the held her hand out to Inari. "Hand them over." She commanded. He nodded and gave them to her she then noticed that there was I bit of blood on them. "You hit one of them." Sakura stated. "I did?" Inari asked looking surprised. "Yes see." Sakura said pointing out the blood to him. "Cool." He said, "Now let me take care of these guys." Sakura said. "Here." She then gave him one of the Kunai. "Use this to cut the ropes." Sakura said and stepped out of the shadows. "Your going to leave this place and never come back." Sakura said. "Oh I'm so scared." One said. "You will be." Sakura said as she pulled out a black piece of paper. "SUMMONING JUTSU!" Sakura shouted and a small poof of smoke a giant fox stood there. "What you can use a summoning? Your only a gennin!" The other one said. "Oh I know I just learned this simple jutsu from my mother." Sakura said. "WHAT THAT JUTSU IS NOT SIMPLE!" the Samurais shouted. "To you they may be hard but to me they are one of the easiest jutsu I know." Sakura said. "Now eat them Kyu!" Sakura shouted, 'If my Father ever finds out I named a fox summoning after him I might be in trouble.' Sakura thought but then watched as the two Samurai ran away. "Good boy Kyu." Sakura said as the fox disappeared.
Inari then went up to her and was about to give her the Kunai. "Keep it, so when you start training you will have one of the best Kunai. Made by a demon's fang." Sakura said to him. He nodded and then watched as she took off into the trees, "Let's go get some help, Mother. I'm going to protect this village with both arms." Inari said. Tsunami smiled. "Lets go then Inari." They then ran off to get the villagers. Sakura smiled, "Good job Inari." She whispered and sped off toward the bridge.
Once she got there she noticed a thick fog. "So he was alive." Sakura thought and jumped up and hung onto the railing and waited for the perfect moment to attack. Tazuna's unguarded but Kakashi's got Zabuza and The hunter nin we met is busy with Sasuke and Naruto. I think Sasuke and Naruto need my help.' Sakura thought pulling out a few Kunai and threw them at the mirrors she watched as Haku the hunter Nin they had met in the forest fell out of the mirrors but was back in them faster then she could blink. "Who was that?" She heard Zabuza say. She smirked, then let out a loud howl. And jumped so she came into everybody's sight. 'Lets see how now time to get to Tazuna.' Sakura thought as she noticed a water clone running at Tazuna. "KUNAI BERAGE!" Sakura shouted and the clone was destroyed and she landed right in front of Tazuna. "Sorry I'm late but I had to deal with some unwanted Samurai Wannabes." Sakura said. "Great the good amid Kunoichi." Zabuza said in a annoyed tone. "You got that right!" Sakura said then pulled out a kunai and threw it toward the mirrors, "SASUKE, NARUTO HOLD ON TO SOMETHING!" She shouted. "TATSU!!" She shouted and the Kunai exploded sending Haku flying out of the mirrors. "AWESOME DIRECT HIT!" She shouted then went back to watching Zabuza whose arms were useless because of Kakashi's jutsu. She then heard something that sounded like million's of birds chirping. "LIGHTNING BLADE!" Kakashi's voice shouted but then instead of hitting Zabuza it hit Haku. 'Wha? He saved Zabuza?' Sakura thought. "Poor boy." Sakura heard a voice say. They all turned and Saw Gatou and many oh his men. He walked over and kicked Haku. "I've been wanting to do that since you broke my wrist." He hissed. "HEY!! DON'T!" Sakura shouted. "Oh the little girl sticks up for her enemy how stupid of her." He smirked as he saw Sakura glare at him. He then walked back to his men and went through them. "HOW COULD YOU LET HIM DO THAT HE SAVED YOUR LIFE!?" Naruto shouted at Zabuza, "He gave up all his dreams to meet your every need and when he dies you don't even care!" Naruto cried as small tears slid down his face. "How could you do that to him he said you were his precious person, He would die for you and you don't care!?" Naruto shouted. "Shut up you brat! You don't know anything!" Zabuza said and then Sakura noticed he too had tears sliding down his face. "You did care for him." Sakura said. He didn't say anything just looked at her. "Give me a kunai." He commanded. "Here ya go." Sakura said tossing it to him and watched as he caught it in his mouth. "SILENT KILLING JUTSU!" He said. And ran forward killing at many of Gatou's men and then when he got to Gatou he killed him as well. He fell to the ground, "The great Zabuza falls." One of Gatou's men said as they moved toward them. "If you think you can win you are dead wrong." A voice shouted behind Sakura and the others Sakura turned and saw the villagers standing there with their all their gardening tools that looked like they had been sharpened. "I think I can help you." Sakura said and did some handsigns. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Sakura and Kakashi shouted. And many shadow clones of Sakura and Kakashi appeared. All the Villagers shouted a battle call and moved forward all of Gatou's men froze and ran away never to come back again.
A FEW WEEKS LATER
Sakura, Kakashi, Naruto, and Kakashi all stood at the end of the bridge. "It's finally done." Tazuna said. Sakura smiled and looked at it. "What you going to call it?" Sakura asked. "I think we will call it the Naruto Bridge." Tazuna replied. "That's a perfect name." Sakura said and looked at Inari. "You did good Inari." Sakura said smiling at him. "Thank you for talking to me if it weren't for you I would of never got enough courage." He said. "You would of, I just helped you see it faster." Sakura said to him. He smiled and nodded. "Anytime you come to Konoha feel free to stop by." Naruto said and they all walked off to cross the bridge before anybody else. "BYE!" Inari shouted. Sakura looked back and raised her hand and waved. "BYE!" She shouted along with Naruto.
