Arc 9:
The Fear of Capture
Hello everyone and I am really sorry I haven`t been able to update at all this summer, but it was surprisingly busy… and when I got back I had to look after my friends dogs, which gave me a total of 4 dogs at my house and all of them needed constant attention…. but I am here now and I won't make any promises of not disappearing again since I can't keep them. But onto other matters I am now in the grade where I have to earn credits so I am going to be working extra hard to get them so that may be a reason for me to disappear. So just watch for my updates when they come however irregular. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sakura smiled deviously as she stood outside the Hokage tower, her green eyes sparkling with mischief. 'Lets see how tight security is…' She thought and walked through the door and to looked around.
"Haruno? What are you doing here?" An ANBU questioned as he exited the hokage's office.
"Oh! I was just looking going to ask Tsunade when we would be training again…" She replied with an innocent smile on her face.
The ANBU nodded his head and walked past her, "Be careful around Haruno… There is a killer on the loose around here somewhere." He whispered as he walked past.
"I heard…"
Sakura smirked as she walked up the stairs before stopping and looking around, nobody was coming or going, the hall was deserted. 'Perfect,' She thought then instead of walking to the Hokage's office she went down the hall toward the Elders meeting rooms.
Coming to a corner she peered around and her eyes narrowed as she looked at the man 'Danzou…' She thought holding back a snarl. She watched him carefully as he spoke to the other two elders, before turning and walked straight toward her.
She looked around frantically for a place to hide but came up with nothing, 'Dammit! No where to hide!' She then looked up her neck craning back all the way. 'This better work…' She thought as she jumped agilely up the ceiling and managed to pull a grate off of a large air vent then slipping in as fast as she could manage.
Just in time she put the grate back into place and crawled out of the line of sight stopping at a point where only she could see. Holding her breath she watched as Danzou rounded the corner and walked right beneath her, not realizing he was about to be turned into a traitor.
Sakura smiled and then swiftly moved through the tunnel that was the air vent. Stopping at every grate to look through to see where she was she finally came to the one she wanted, dropping down she looked around the huge archive of scrolls of completed missions, history, and with no doubt in her mind, most of it being filled with lies Danzou created to destroy lives. "So this is Danzou's Archive of lies…"
Moving quickly she ransacked the place as she sliced through scrolls of Danzou's evil doings, "Oh… this stuff is just hott!" She giggled and pulled another scroll off the shelf.
"Yes… You could call it that…" A dark voice growled.
Sakura froze her eyes widening in complete horror, "Wh-what?" She stammered as she slowly turned her head to look over her shoulder. "D-D-Danzou…"
The man smirked evilly, "Yes, Haruno?" He asked.
Sakura turned completely around, "You are going to die for all these thing you have done!" She growled as she swung her arm out to motion around the entire room.
"And how will that be done? After all, you aren't going to live long enough to tell anyone… How tragic it will be when you suddenly turn up dead… Courtesy of one Uchiha Itachi… You do know he is around the village right? Well I guess your in his way…" Danzou laughed manically.
Sakura gasped slightly and took a step back only to feel the sharp metal of a kunai poke into her back, her head snapped to look over her shoulder to reveal one of Danzou's many ROOT nin his emotionless eyes starring into her own. "If I am to die… Tell me are you going to the Hyuuga's next?" She never took her eyes if the nin holding the Kunai.
"My aren't you smart!" Danzou hissed as he walked toward her, "With the strongest clans gone I will have no trouble in taking over this pathetic excuse for a village, Konoha should be the leader of War!"
Sakura glared at him in disgust, "That will never happen! As long as the ninja of this village fight for the peace of this world you will never… Ever… Win!"
Danzou glared at her, "You really think that's possible because you know… There will be no powerful clan to stop me…" He chuckled and nodded to the ROOT nin, "Lock her up… I want her to see her precious village when it is under my control."
The nin nodded and dragged her away from the room taking her deeper into the building then through multiple tunnels before stopping and throwing her in a cell.
Sakura lay there for a while staring into the darkness, her eyes not seeing anything as she fell into her thoughts, 'I failed… How… How could I mess this up? Itachi, Sasuke… I…. I'm so so sorry…' She thought.
She didn't move until she heard the soft sound of scurrying feet of the rather large rats and a weight suddenly on her stomach… She blinked a few times blindly then sighed, "I'm not dead Rat…" She growled.
The mouse let out a squeak at the noise and jumped from her stomach to the ground in a split second ready to race away but Sakura moved faster. Grabbing it by the tail and hoisting it up so she could somewhat see its small face and beady eyes. "I have a job for you…" She said darkly.
The rat squeaked and struggled to get away from her grip, "This human is going to hurt me!" It was crying unaware that Sakura could understand it.
"I'm not going to hurt you… I just need you to get me out of this cell…"
The rat stopped all movement and looked at her strangely, "You c an hear me?" It asked.
"I am a demon… I can understand all animals… not matter the kind…" Sakura replied, "Now find a way to get me out! I have to save Konoha!"
The rat squeaked its compliance and as soon as Sakura released it, it was gone into the darkness.
Sakura sighed, "Now to play the waiting game…" She mumbled and leaned back against the cold wall.
