Sakura looked down at the scroll. The tiny black print, the letters, the phrases. She didnt know what to think, she was utterly mizukage herself had signed it, Naruto's death cirtificate. Salty tears leaked out of the corners of her eyes.
This sad person wrote to inform you of the passing of your honored friend. Naruto Usumaki passed on winter 23. Your respected team member died in combat with enemy ninja he was to be facing on this mission. We have recovered his corpse and are currently sending him to kohana for his funeral. We have his killer in our prison and have sentanced him to death. We have been informed that you were closest to him so you are honored with the job of killing his murderer. We hope to see you in the village of the mist as soon as possible. Mizukage.
Sakura's face was grim. She unwrapped the cloth holding is memorial tablet to burn incense for him. Her lip started to quiver she had to bite it to keep it from shaking. She sank down to her knees and hunched over to where her forehead was almost touching the floor. Her back shook with the sobs errupting from her lips. She remained in that position for quite a while. The passing time felt like an enternity, and she felt like she couldnt cry anymore. She looked up from the floor to the tablet signifying her friends death.
She was going to avenge him, she was going to slaughter his killer. She rose from the ground and walked from her tiny living room to her bedroom of her apartment. She began packing her weapons pouch, simple weapons that she normally used, a few kunai, a few shurikan. She wanted to be ready to leave for the village hidden in the mist as soon as possible. She would have to report to tsunade in the morning, no, she wouldnt, tsunade should have heard the news, she would know. "He will be avenged." The words were soaked in hate and venom. She glanced out the window at the moon, it was in the center of the sky. She spent more time mourning that she had thought. She crawled into her bed and for the only time since her parents had died, she cried herself to sleep that night.
She woke up in the early morning due to the rays of sun beaming through her window. There was just a second of bliss, just a second happy feeling, before all of the memories from the night before soaked back into her mind. She rolled out of the bed, her face blank, not showing her emotions. She pulled on her normal ninja attire, they fit her a bit more snugly, showing a bit more skin. She had curved out over the years, not too much, but just enough. She glanced into the mirror as she ran her brush through her hair. She was shocked at the reflection of the girl in the mirror. She reminded herself of Sai for once.
She smiled softly remembering the old times before hatred overcame her glance once more. She walked over to her closet and pulled out what looked like two sashes. She wrapped them around her body so she could strap a twin pair of samuri swords to her back. With one more glance at her mirror she walked out of her room, her house, her old life, her old world, and into what seemed to be her grave future ahead.
People turned their heads to look at her as she walked towards the gates of Kohana. Their stares burned holes into her skin. She heard their whispers, she knew what they were murmuring about.
"So they already found out huh."
As she walked down the main pathway of Kohana she passed her old comrades, her friends. They turned their heads to look at her with depressed emotions plastered on thier faces. They had heard too. She felt as she was being exiled, the stares and murmurs deepened her emotions and put her on edge. She made it to the gates of Kohana and the guards nodded to her as they let her pass. She wasnt even halfway out when some other shinobi passed her, carring a coffin. She clamped her eyes shut and moved along. With her mind set on revenge she made her way to the village hidden in the mist.
