~Chapter 3 Rebirth….Resistance…Test

Running through the forest at only a speed that a well trained ninja could achieve was very pissed off vixen. Not only was she being used as a pawn be the village current Hokage, but she was tricked into establishing the missing nin status of her favorite knuckle head. She didn't believe anything that was being said about him because she knew that he was not a demon. She had no doubts about that, but what she couldn't get her head around was where he was? She knew he love Tsunade like a mother and news of her death just might make him even more upset than that of Jiayra's. While pondering these thoughts she had to duck because a trap that was covered up really well had been sprung. Now she was not mobile trying to remove herself from a web like substance that when she tried to cut with her chakra just got stronger.

"Well I see that just because you are an apprentice to a Sannin doesn't mean you are strong" said a mysterious ninja.

While those words were being spoken Sakura pulled a trick out of Naruto's book and henged into a skinner version of herself to give her room to escape, then she kawarimied with a stone by the tree that the mysterious voice had came. Ran up the tree to deliver one hell of a chakra infused punch only to miss the nin and obliterate the tree top.

"Well even I can do such parlor trick Lady Sakura, but I didn't come here to play, I know something you need and the only way you will get it is if you can find me in 3 days!" said the nin

"Who are you and how do I know I can trust you?" Sakura said calmly not wanting to let her curiosity slip her frame through her voice.

"You have indeed been train well in the area of your emotions Lady Sakura, but what I have to tell you will destroy your training because it's almost the essential of being reborn!" The Nin boasted

"A rebirth? I have no time for foolishness either tell me who you are or I will find you and destroy you!" yelled Sakura.

"You can't destroy something you can't see. Furthermore, you have three days to meet me at the border of Suna. Once there I will tell you more. Oh… yeah before I forget Naruto says he loves you! Bye!!!"

"Wait!!!! DON'T LEAVE!!! What do you know about NARUTO? "Screamed Sakura

After no answer she screams more and more. She tried to find the Nin and she searched all through the night, eventually though she would have to settle into a makeshift camp.

After she built her fire she sat down and began to think about today's events. She completed an A rank mission of killing the mission Nin Kurigo that had been threatening smaller villages on the outskirts of the Land of Fire. She still was very upset at that whole ordeal because while she's a very capable ninja she is also the best medic in the village. Instead of Danzo putting her in charge of the hospital he sends her on suicide missions every week. She hated that man and she knew he was up to something, but with no proof and her past connection to Naruto she had no way to prove any of her assumptions because she was constantly follow by Root. It was like she was a valuable caged birded with a beautiful song to sing but Danzo had castrated her mouth. Then she gets stuck in a mediocre trap only to be confronted by who knows that might have information on or from her beloved. Being the skilled ninja she was she had already thought of the possible dangers of meeting this mysterious ninja, and she couldn't understand what his carefully crafted words meant.

Eventually after thinking over just what the hell happen today she began to fall asleep. And once she closed her eyes it was like she knew that once she open them her life would never be the same!

~ Sakura's Dream~

"Where am I?" questioned then now confused Sakura.

"I would love to have the answer to that question also," screamed inner Sakura

"YOU ARE BOTH WE ME MY CHILDREN AND IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE" spoke the most beautiful voice in existence.

"Who are you and where are you!" asked Sakura.

"Yeah! What she said!" yelled inner Sakura

"I GO BY MANY NAMES, BUT YOU MY DEAR MAY CALM ME KAMI. YOU CANNOT SEE ME YET BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT IN YOUR TRUE FORM, AND IT IS NOT MY PLACE TO INTERFERE SO I WILL NOT. EVERYTHING THAT I WILL TELL YOU HERE IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LONG PATH IN FRONT OF YOU AND MUST COMPLETE YOUR TASK OR THE WORLD WILL BE UNBALANCE AND CHAIOS WILL COME." Spoke Kami.

Now both inner and outer Sakura were listening and very closely, but both were very confused as to why Kami would visit them. The answer they received was one that they didn't expect.

"I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONFUSION. IT IS NOT EVERYDAY THAT KAMI VISITS PEOPLE, BUT YOU ARE DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU ARE A K.E.Y" said Kami very beautifully.

"What's a K.E.Y?"Asked inner Sakura

"GLAD YOU ASKED. IT IS ESSENTIALLY YOU SAKURA. YOU SEE K.E.Y STANDS FOR KAMI'S ENERGY YEILDER. YOUR JOB IS TO HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO BALANCE OUT YOUR WEILDER. YOU ARE TO KEEP POWER FROM CORRUPTING HIM AND TO BE HIS EQUAL IN MOST THINGS. HE WILL BE MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU PHYSICALLY, BUT SPIRITUALLY LEAVE YOU WILL HAVE NO EQUAL BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CONNECTION TO ME.

"You mean I will have a master. Someone who can control me" Sakura asked trying to understand why Kami would want her to be a slave to someone else.

"IT'S ALL IN HOW YOU LOOK AT IT. YOU ALREADY KNOW YOUR WIELDER AND WOULD HE MAKE YOU HIS SLAVE. NOW LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY. THE WORLD IS FIXING TO CHANGE, BUT RATHER IT CHANGES FOR THE GOOD OR THE BAD IS GOING TO BE UP TO YOUR WIELDER, YOU, AND THE SCRORNED. THERE ARE MANY DANGERS AHEAD OF YOU SO YOU MUST ASCEND TO YOUR KEY STATE BEFORE YOU TURN 20. SO YOU HAVE ROUGHLY 10 MONTHS TO FIND HIM, BUT LUCKY FOR YOU A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE CAME TO HIS SENSES AND HAS BEEN ALSO WORKING TO ACHIEVE THE WIELDER KEY UNION. FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND IT WILL LEAD YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. NOW WAKE UP YOU HAVE A WAYS TO TRAVEL TO GET TO SUNA."

~End of Dreamscape~

Sakura wakes up and finds that it is close to 4 am and it was about time to move out. She gets her makeshift camp together and instead of heading toward home she starts her journey going toward Suna. All she knew was that there was no way that everything that has happened in the last year was coincidence, and now she needed answers. The mysterious ninja was her first stop.

~ 3 days Later~

Sakura has been at the border for close to 6 hrs now and she is starting to think that this was a trap, but little did she know that her journey was about to begin. While sitting next to her fire Sakura begins to notice a faint chakra presence, but what was weird was that it was very familiar. What she saw next had her damn near quivering in her boots. There standing in front of her in her very own eyes was Itachi. She immediately went into defense mode, but being in the desert there really wasn't anything she could kawarimi with to get a better since of the situation.

"You have nothing to be fearful of young one I am not exactly who you think I am" said Itachi look alike.

"You won't fool me I know who you are, but tell me why you reek of Kyuubi chakra?" asked Sakura while she continued to go over strategies of escape.

"Well Sakura-san that is a long story, but right now I come offering you the information that I promised earlier this week" said Itachi.

"What could you possibly have that I want and how you are here Sasuke killed you "Sakura asked.

"I don't have much time but I'll my best to answer your questions. First off I'm not fully Itachi because as you know he was killed by Sasuke. For whom I am, you've already answered that question. I am a manifestation of the Kyuubi." Said the enigma.

Upon hearing those words Sakura became frighten knowing that if the Kyuubi was here then it was possible that Naruto was dead, but the last time these two had met he said ' Naruto loves you' implying that he was still alive. Now thoroughly confused Sakura asked, "Why are you here?"

"To inform you of some things that you might not know and enlist in your help. First off Naruto and Tsunade are still in Konoha locked up by Danzo in a special Chakra sealing cell beneath the city." Said the Itachi/Kyuubi.

"YOU LIE !! TSUNADE IS DEAD!!" screamed Sakura.

"I tell the truth, but I don't have time to argue. They need your help and I need you to understand some things. I will tell you that I'm sorry for hurting you earlier in your life, but now I'm the servant of Lord Naruto and he needs you because you are his key. Now I know that you know you are a key but you don't know what that means so I will just explain to you quickly.

Naruto is about to ascend to something akin to a God on earth, but with eventual mortality. He can ascend without you, but he cannot control himself without you. His destiny is just as much yours as it is his because without you there is no him. I know that you love him and being his key is something greater than marriage. You will hold untold power for a mortal because you have to be strong enough to combat those that oppose your destiny, and as Naruto's key you must know that his destiny is to merge the realms of the human world and the demon world. This is a big task so please don't take it lightly. In order for you to become his key you must consummate your relationship before you all turn 20, and be his balancer.

Now that I've told you this you also know that you will have no parallel, and that you will be forever bonded to him. Though I know that this isn't an issue for you also know that 'to much is given much is required' and your task to keep your wielder will be hard. Absolute power corrupts even those as pure at heart as Naruto, and in about 2 weeks I will break the seal and I will be free. This will leave Naruto with much of my chakra, and though his coils can handle it he will need medical attention. Tsunade is with him but is in no condition to help him."

"So how am I to help him if I don't know where he is?" asked Sakura

" Great question! You will sneak in with the help of your former teammate Sasuke." Answered Itachi/Kyuubi

"Now I know this isn't real. That traitor would never help Naruto. He hates everything that Naruto stands for!" screamed Sakura in disbelief that this idiot would say something like that.

"Actually, Sasuke is on his way to meet you at the border of the Fire Country, and he has already pledged his service to Lord Naruto. That's a long story which I no longer have the time to explain. Just trust me he is now Naruto's loyal servant and also your chief commander and he will do as told by Naruto and you Lady Sakura. Now that's not all I want to tell you, but I can't maintain this Oni no jutsu Henge much longer. So get to the border by tomorrow night and Sasuke will inform you of the rest. Oh… and Sakura the closer you get to Naruto the more primal you will become because I've already taken the liberty to give you a temporary chakra marking you as his mate. Since he will be ascending his human form soon you will feel a reverberation of his chakra changing and it can and probably will have some effects. You will also know that you will be given a test to see if your KEY powers are efficient enough to handle your wielder, and know a lot depends on you passing this test. Now I must go, but I will contact you through Sasuke once he alerts me you are with him. To let you know that it is me and not a trick I will tell you something that not even Sasuke knows about me. I'm amorphous. So just ask me this question once I take over his body and then evaluate my answer. Until then, bye for now Lady Sakura." With those last words Itachi/Kyuubi simply dispersed.

Sakura taken in all the information that had just been shared with her was now in a state of shock. This state didn't last too long because now she knew she couldn't be the weak third party of team 7 anymore she was just given a destiny that had her if not equal to or just a little under the strongest person she knew her beloved Naruto. She was definitely not the same Sakura anymore she was just reborn if only just in her mindset. Only if she knew that her rebirth also came with a physical change that will be hard for even her to except, but her destiny dictated.

~1 day later, Meeting~

Sakura has just reached the border of the Fire Country, but she was not close enough to alert patrolling Konoha nins. She knew just because of who she was meeting that he would meet her close but not that close. Just as she was thinking 'where is a great place to meet teme' she began to laugh inwardly because her favorite knuckle head had more than definitely rubbed off on her. Then she just began to reminisce about Naruto out of the blue the words that she thought she would never her coming from a particularly dark, brooding, Uchiha were spoken.

"Hello there Lady Sakura long time no see" Sasuke said startling Sakura.

Out of shock Sakura jumps back ten feet and yells" When did you get here?"

"I arrive shortly after you did, but I didn't want to disturb you train of thought you look like you were thinking about something important" answered Sasuke.

Finally understanding who she was talking to Sakura ran straight up to him and knock the living hell out of Sasuke while screaming, "What the hell is wrong with you? Do you know how much pain you caused Naruto?"

Knowing that his first time around his most hated fan girl would be tumultuous, but that lick hurt like hell and he knew this was just the beginning. Sakura also knew this was the beginning because she was just going to let this bastard know how she felt and she did hold any punches. She was whooping his as for about five minutes, but notice he wasn't fighting back.

"Fight me!!" screamed Sakura.

"I will not. I withstand your onslaught until you are ready to listen to me Lady Sakura" said Sasuke calmly. He immediately regretted those words though because he looked into her eyes and he could see that she didn't take his words as he had hoped. The chakra infused had that just connected with his left jaw was his confirmation.

"Fight me Sasuke or I will kill you! I'm not the weak little fan girl that you knew those many years ago, and you will fight me or you will die." Sakura screamed.

"I'm not implying that you are weak, nor do we have time to continue this scuffle. We have important things to attend ….." Sasuke was saying before he heard

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu" screamed Sakura.

'Oh… shit she's really going to try and kill me 'thought Sasuke.

What happen next not only confused Sakura, but broke all the rules of ninjas. Once the cloud had cleared instead of a slug of some kind to help Sakura there stood a nine foot tall pink fox.

"How may I help you lady Sakura?"

"Who are you?" asked simultaneously Sasuke and Sakura

"I'm Ichikori my masters" answered the fox.

"But I didn't summon you so how are you here!" screamed a obviously confused Sakura.

"That would be a question for Kyuubi- sama, but if there isn't anything I can help you with can I leave" asked the fox

"Well since I don't have time to understand what's going on I need you to attack him with everything you have" yelled Sakura.

"I cannot my Lady he is also a wielder of this contract and he is bond by powers higher than me to not attack you or the chosen one. So he is of no harm to you my Lady. Now I will take my leave." The fox said and dispersed.

With those words Sakura now looks at Sasuke with as much malice as she could muster and only orders the words "ANSWERS NOW"

"Could you please heal me first you didn't pull your punches at all and I'm pretty badly bruised." Pleaded Sasuke.

"No, answers first then I'll think about healing you." Answered Sakura with a smirk on her face.

"Fine, but I can only tell you what I know." Sasuke said while he readjusted himself against a tree. He then took the next three hours explaining to Sakura his eyes mutation, Maadra's plan, his allegiance to Naruto, and his plan to retrieve Naruto and Tsunade.

"So let me get this straight your essentially Naruto's bitch. Oh how irony strikes the wicked" ,laughed Sakura.

"Yes technically I'm Naruto's servant and I have pledge my allegiance to him and his destiny, but we both must take our test before we can even proceed on with rescuing them and for that we will need the Kyuubi."

"Well contact him so we can get this show on the road!" yelled Sakura.

"you know you even act like him, no wonder you are his key." Said Sasuke

"Shut up!" scream Sakura.

Ignoring Sakura word he began to meditate to establish his link with the ying of the Kyuubi. Once he was connected the Kyuubi took control of his body.

"Hi there Lady Sakura", said the Kyuubified Sasuke.

"Fine, but I have a question for you. Are you male or female Kyuubi" asked Sakura.

"I am both. I'm amorphous" calmly answered the Kyuubified Sasuke.

After answering her question Sasuke/ Kyuubi perform the Kaga Bushin no Jutsu the henged the copy into a lovely 5'9'', sleek and toned female body with the proportions that were out of this world. Then the bushin spoke, "Continuing my previous statement, I am amorphous, but I prefer the female body. It's more elegant and seductive. Now that you both are here consciously I need to administrate Sasuke's test and instruct you on what you will need to do to start achieving you power lady Sakura.

"Hn.. " was all the answer that came from Sasuke even though he couldn't keep his eyes off the Kyuubi.

"Look but don't touch eye boy I'm only for my masters if they will have me" the Kyuubi laughed even though she was serious. "Listen you two your test will go after your weakness and you must defeat them because in your case Sasuke if you fell I will kill you. Sakura in your case if you fail the world will be in more trouble than even I can conjure up.

Now listen there are some things you should know about Naruto. He is the descendant of the Fūjin the God of wind thus giving him a slight divinity. You Sakura his Key actually are a essential part of unlocking his abilities. The only abilities I can unlock are those that have to do with me, thus the only thing I can give him is the ability to become a hanyou and or at least most of my chakra. He has a lock on his other gifts for only consummation with his key can unlock, but you must unlock your gifts to control his change because it's immediate and you must be prepared. In saying that I must tell you what your test will be. You must fight and defeat my yang version and that means defeating Sasuke. If you can achieve this then you both will have passed this test because while you are fighting the yang chakra will try to convince Sasuke to kill you and Naruto. If Sasuke can resist and you can control not only the fight but the chakra then we can leave to get Naruto."
