Chapter Four

I watched as the sky turned orange and pink. The sun was setting....the only beautiful thing in this place really.

I had been laying here for the past half hour, resting. The exams had been a waste of time. Not a single one was worthy enough. They were all weak. But I had to let a few pass, otherwise Tsunade would be pissed, because she needed more Anbu. I let five out of thirty pass. They all came from different teams too. So sad.

But, what did I care? I was leaving soon enough, so it wasn't going to effect me much. Only more people to kill once I betrayed the village. She would send out only the best to capture me, I knew it, since after all I did train under her. I also knew a lot of the secrets the village would kill to keep hidden, such as the fact that Itachi was ordered to kill his family by the council.

I grinned suddenly.

It was almost the day to leave. Only six more hours.

I was to leave at midnight and meet up with them at the halfway point between here and mist.

When I felt a familiar chakra pattern approach, I bit back a growl. Kami, I hate that traitorous bastard.

"What do you want Kakashi?" I asked when he got within twenty yards of me.

"Sakura, Lady Hokage wishes to see you in her office as soon as possible." I groaned.

"Fine. Anything else?" I ask when he doesn't leave after a few seconds.

"I'm sorry." I sit up and lift a brow.

"For what? You did nothing wrong." I hoist myself up and begin walking away. At his hand on my shoulder, I halt.

"Look, I didn't choose her over you. You are still my number one. I know she's out to get you."

I shrug his hand off and look at him. "And yet she was there, with you, at the bar. For MY birthday. Don't kid yourself. You know you like her more. Everyone else does too."

I walked away.

I took the long route, saying silent good-byes to all of my favorite places. It took me a while to get to the tower, and I slowly walked up the stairs to the Hokage's office.

They were all in there....

Each and every single one of those assholes. Kakashi had come along too, getting there before me.

"What is it?" I asked.

Tsunade raised a brow. I know I wasn't supposed to address her that way, but whatever. Wouldn't matter much longer.

"Why are your things packed?" It was my turn to raise a brow.

"Huh?"

"Your things are packed, all of them. Your apartment has been sold too. Why?"

"I wanted a change." I said briefly. There is no way they could've found out.

"Ahh...does this change include a new village too?"

I heard them withdraw weapons. Damnit. I haven't been so careful these last few weeks. I knew it would come back to bite me in the ass.

"Yup." I said cheerfully.

"Why are you doing this?" She asked quietly. I knew she would wait to hear my answer before they were ordered to attack.

"Why? Why? Because I have no reason to stay here in this hell hole. I watched you all everyday as you got closer and closer to that fucking snake and slowly replaced me with her. You guys even encouraged her to try to gain the head medic position at the hospital, the one I've always wanted!I even tried to be her friend, but she thought I wanted Sasuke when I didn't. She told you all lies and you believed her over me!" I screamed in my head.

I shook my head to clear it. I wasn't going to let my emotions get the best of me.

"None of your fucking business." I bit out. You all should know. The bitch was standing in the room, smirking.

Tsunade nodded and they attacked.

I knew they would try to keep me here, alive of course, to interrogate. I do have information on them, and they would want to get their grubby little fingers on it, even if it meant torturing their once comrade. They let me get to know them, so I would trust them when I joined. There was no question on whether or not I was joining them. They weren't even all that bad.

I would fit in and be accepted, for once in my life.

I jumped towards Tsunade, and flipped over her, bursting through the glass.

All of the Anbu were waiting at the bottom of the tower, moving out of the way of the falling glass. I knew I had to fight for my life this time and wondered briefly If this was going to make me a little late to meeting them.

Nah...none of them were too strong. It wouldn't take but a few hours to finish them all off. Good thing It was back last year that they first approached me, and I began growing my chakra reserves since then. I had pretty much an unlimited source. I wasn't going to run out any time soon.

I bunched up a fist and let the chakra pool into it, and when it impacted the ground, every building within a three hundred yard radius was completely destroyed, anything else within a five hundred yard radius beyond that was in shambles.

The battle began.
