It had been 3 months, 2 days, 8 hours, and 31 minutes since Haruno Sakura had become a missing Nin, correction, a rogue. Since it was believed that Sakura had completely disbanded her village, and supposedly took after her first love.
She snorted; the rumors spread had been completely irritating. Was she really still the obsessed fan girl of Uchiha Sasuke? Did it matter that she had become head medic of Konoha hospital? Did it matter she had served on the ANBU black ops since she was 16? Did it even matter she had an entire list of s rank accomplished missions? She had even helped save the village more than a handful of times.
We were always just a tool after all, you cannot expect more from people who believe you are completely expendable. Inner was, for once, just as irritated as she.
It's ridiculous. I don't think I could even go back after this mission, if they think this lowly of me.
Truth be told she was angry, she wanted no more than to go home, to that stupid village and show them just how accomplished she was. But mindlessly slaughtering her entire village because of a few choice words was definitely not an option, though it was tempting.
Focus! Do you not FEEL that chakra?! Inner screeched at her.
She broke out of her musings quickly, masking her chakra in the same instant. She shrunk further into her travelling cloak. She had stopped at a dango restaurant on the outskirts of Amegakure, it was said the Akatsuki visited this village alto. How she got the information was meaningless, but there were 5 fresh graves about 20 miles back.
She pulled her hood further down over her forehead, and stared down at her meal.
"Tch, why the fuck do we have to fucking come get those shitheads any fucking supplies?" She heard a deep, gruff voice demand.
She didn't blink at his language; she didn't need her bingo book to know which member had the worst potty mouth the world had ever seen.
"Shut up, just is thankful leader-sama let you out of the base. Bringing back a woman to sacrifice... He should have killed you for that." A much deeper, rougher voice barked.
Sakura chanced a quick glance at the men who were now sitting to her left. She recognized them from her bingo book, but what surprised her was that these two wore their Akatsuki cloak... but nothing else. No hat, nothing else was covering their faces.
"AH! Hidan-sama, Kakazu-sama it is a great honor that you would come to my restaurant yes? Choose anything you like, it is on the house my most favored guests." The small man who she assumed to be the owner continuously bowed to the two.
Hidan smirked at the tiny man. "Hiroshu-kun, you're fucking great, I'll make sure that if you ever fucking die Jashin-sama will have mercy on your fucking soul."
The man's sweat dropped at this, but smiled and thanked the insane Jashinist again and again whilst taking their orders. Sakura watched this all with a hint of amusement, until she noticed the two had gotten very quiet.
She stilled, a wave of powerful chakra suddenly pressed against her.
Without a second though Sakura ripped her cloak off and flipped backward out of her chair and into the field behind the small restaurant.
The two Akatsuki members were in front of her simultaneously.
She shook her hair out, and stared down the two men in front of her who were regarding her with incredulous eyes.
"I know you have searched for us Kunoichi, who are you and why do you have such an urgent death wish?" demanded the larger of the two men, Kakazu.
She stared passively at both. "Even those of the great Akatsuki should know better than to underestimate an opponent, don't you think?"
Their eyes widened a tad at how soft her voice was. At how soft she looked. This tiny creature could not stand taller than 5'5"; she had pink hair for kami's sake.
Her smirk only lessened a fraction of an inch, before Hidan rushed her.
Sakura flipped out of the way easily, still able to track Kakazu as he made way for her back. They circled and attempted to grab, and each time Sakura danced out of the way. And then the attacks began.
She felt spidery ropes crawling up her arms, trying to bind them together. She fled her chakra infused muscles once and the ropes snapped, much to Kakazu's surprise. She felt a hand at her feet, and didn't think twice. Raising her gloved right hand, she brought it down on the earth under her feet with a ferocious roar. Sakura had not needed to use so much strength in a long time, and she was so tired of holding back her power.
The entire field shattered, showing the pink haired kunoichi where Hidan was directly underneath grabbed his surprised hand and pulled him up in front of her, grasping the cussing Jashinist by his neck. She cocked her left fist back, and sent the hit home.
Hidan went flying 100 feet back into the forest behind the clearing, leaving Sakura enough time to unsheathe her Katana and spin to meet Kakazu's attack head on.
However, he wasn't attacking. He was staring at her, his eyes calculating.
She spun her weapon dangerously in her hand, her eyes never leaving his as she contemplated whether or not to engage him first. She felt Hidan's presence before she could see him, and with a quick sidestep and a hard kick she sent him flying in Kakazu's direction.
"HOLY FUCK BITCH! Where in the fuck did you learn to fucking hit like that slut? That was fucking orgasmic." Hidan swore at her, his bleeding face was glowing in pleasure.
Sakura could tell immediately that the Jashinist was taking it easy on her, allowing his team mate to calculate the intensity of her threat. She knew that if he had been trying, she would have possibly broken a sweat.
"Agreed, cease your actions Kunoichi, we need to talk."
Sakura sheathed her blade, whilst glaring at the two members.
"If this is a trick, you will not live to see tomorrow." She promised in her soft voice.
"I FUCKING believe you bitch, what's your name? Kakazu, leader-sama will fucking kill us if we don't fucking bring this fucking bitch home!"
Hidan didn't even care his nose was broken, almost shattered, but Sakura wanted them to know all of her abilities. She carefully walked up to the two Akatsuki, who regarded her warily.
She reached her hand out to Hidan's face; he flinched back, until Kakazu pushed him forward. Sakura taped her right index finger to Hidan's forehead, and his faze was glowing with green healing chakra. Even as she pulled her hand away, the chakra remained, infusing itself within his skin, snapping the bones back into place and healing all damage as she stood 2 feet away from him.
"You are a medic also?" Kakazu inquired thoughtfully.
"I am the only female student of Kakashi Hatake the Copy Ninja, Apprentice of Tsunade 5th Hokage of the village hidden in the leaves, ANBU Black Op Captain, and Head medic of the Konoha hospital. My name is Haruno Sakura." She listed her qualifications quietly.
Both men in front of her were surprised.
"You're the bitch that fucking killed Sasori." Hidan exclaimed.
Sakura smiled slightly, and nodded. Her eyes shining as she remembered the fierce battle, she hadn't fought anyone of his caliber in her entire life. These two hadn't put up the fight she assumed they would have if she had gone for the kill.
"Haruno Sakura, I have decided to take you to Leader-sama. How would you consider a... position offer of sorts, within the Akatsuki?" Kakazu said gravely.
Both men tensed, and it was her guess if she said no, they would try their hardest to kill her.
She took a kunai out of her holster, and began twirling it wound her fingers, seeming to be in deep thought.
"Abandon your village Kunoichi, and you could reach your potential further than you already have." Kakazu tried to coax.
Her facial expression remained blank.
"I already am a missing nin, Kakazu-san."
They were both taken aback by this.
"Fuck, what the fuck happened bitch? You kill someone?" Hidan asked with amusement.
"No, the Konoha council is weak, they seek to protect themselves only. They do not care for their village, a village I see as corrupt anyway." She explained slowly, her voice unwavering.
Both men were silent, no doubt pondering her stories likeness.
"Well, Haruno Sakura, apprentice to a legendary Sanin, would you like to meet our leader?"
Success, way to go...
Hai.
She nodded mutely.
Hidan opened his cloak and held his arms out to her, apparently they'd be teleporting.
"You touch me anywhere Jashinist, I promise I'll tear your limbs off one by one." She threatened.
Hidan wound his arms around her tiny waste, and groaned into her ear.
"I think I love you bitch, talk dirty to me some more." He whispered seductively into her ear, and she shuddered to think was pleasure was for him.
And with that, the trio disappeared, leaving a very confused and underpaid restaurant owner standing there with two hot meals
