Hey! Sorry for keeping you all waiting for so long! Here's the fifth chapter. Thanks to minniemousemom and shadow-binder for the Reviews! I don't own Naruto, but please enjoy.

...

This moth saw light

or

The almost last Uchiha

...

She almost doubled over when she saw him in the cell. The man behind her only glared at her, but she didn't care as she entered the cell with a carefree smile on her lips.

"Hi, Sasuke." She waved.

"Come down to the point, you know what I need."

"Of course, asshole" She smiled. "Information … you will get it."

And he was out of the room immediately, not wanting to get caught in the genjutsu of the young man, who had his eyes blindfolded. Sakura came close and took the blindfold down to look him directly into the eyes.

Crimson red met emerald green.

She only smiled as his tomoe began spinning and he tried to capture her in a genjutsu, she didn't even got caught in it.

"Use the opponent's momentum to hurt him." She whispered as she turned his genjutsu against himself.

"Tell me what you know …"

He sat in his office when she came back from the cell, a smile still on her face. She liked to torture as it seemed.

"How did it go?" he asked her.

"This moth saw brightness
in a woman's chamber--
burnt to a crisp." She recited for him.

He growled, he should have never taught her all those damned poems. She was using them against him … and Mitarashi already gave him enough of a headache.

"…" he glared at her and she smiled right back. "Lollypop …" he warned.

"He killed Orochimaru, but didn't succeed in killing Itachi … his brother didn't succeed in killing him either, which was why you found him. Team Hebi is pretty beaten up, the red-head Karin is pregnant from him, the big guy – Jugo – has problems with his inner monster and the sword collector Suigetsu managed to kill Kisame and got his sword … but the sword seems to be a bit against him and drains his chakra. At the moment they are five kilometers north from us, hiding in a cave, that's all. So … can I go back and be useless now, fuckhead?"

"No … I need you for a plan."

"Too bad I'm useless then … I have no idea how to put up a plan. See you in hell, sucker."

DAMN THIS WOMAN! He watched her leave his office with a carefree smile. God damn it, damn it, damn it! He growled. What the hell was she? He stood up. He needed her; now. He needed to get that freaking team and therefore he needed her. And Mitarashi was on her week off … fuck it.

"Lollypop …" she turned around when she stood in the doorway and heard her nickname being growled by none other than one Ibiki Morino.

"Don't you leave now that we freaking need your effing planning skills."

"Don't know what you're talking about, fucker. There's a Shikamaru Nara to your services. If you'd excuse me, I want to know some things."

He grabbed her arm and hindered her on leaving the tower.

"You're going nowhere Lollypop … one Nara doesn't know ANBU and he sure as hell has no whatsoever reason to lift his ass from his favorite hill to come down and help us."

"Listen. I'm useless and I'm only second choice, I can't possibly be as good as a Nara is. So let go of my arm, now, before I break it."

He quirked an eyebrow. She wanted to break his arm.

"Go on I'd like to see that."

She grinned as a wave of green chakra emerged from her and froze his arm in place as she crushed it from the inside. He felt every bone break once, twice and his hand fell limply to his side – he frowned at her as she smiled.

"See? I don't need muscles, I don't need to be big and I don't need to be useful to you. I'm proud of myself and that's enough. So … now I go and take on a new mission to find out some things and to be able to link some other things together."

"You found out something you didn't report." He grunted.

"I did. He has the Mangekyo sharingan. You only get that one when you kill your best friend." She answered and took off.

"The Kyuubi. DAMN IT!"

She raced through the woods. The last report of Jiraya came from Kirigakure. Alone getting there would take its time. Then there was of course no way that they would still be there … on the other hand there was no way that someone could miss the two perverts.

She was grateful to her shishou for letting her go on this mission. Not only was she able to get away from the torturous tree-giant but she could also make sure that Naruto was still alive. O god gracious let him be alive.

She hadn't found any memories of Naruto's death, but she knew from scrolls that those were erased by the Mangekyo as soon as one got them and only came back when the corpse was seen. Oh god gracious let Naruto be alive.

"Don't be hasty, Lollypop."

She stopped dead in her tracks and growled. No dear lord … not him too.

"What, not happy to see me?"

He appeared right in front of her.

"As a matter of fact, no I'm not."

"Too bad, I can't let my apprentice go on a field trip alone."

Shishou!!! How could you?!

"So all of a sudden you're my Sensei again …" she huffed.

"Lollypop … I never stopped being your Sensei only once."

"I wouldn't say that. You give a crappy Sensei."

"I never said I'd make a good Sensei."

"Why are you here? Want to see me while I kill myself now? It isn't enough to hear that I already tried it once? You need more satisfaction? You like playing mind-games with me so much that you just have to continue?" she asked him sarcastically.

"I already told you that I can't let my apprentice go on a mission alone. On top of that it's one hell of an information and if it's true then we sit deep in the shit."

"Why? Because we don't have the monster on our side anymore? Because he's no use anymore?! You all think the fucking same about him!" she yelled.

"You know that we are in enemy territory." He queered.

"Fuck yes I know. But you know … that I made ANBU with fourteen, right? I got news for ya … I'm nineteen." She vanished in a swirl of petals.

"Don't even think you could flee, Lollypop." He growled before he vanished in a puff of smoke.

She arrived in Kirigakure in no time. Of course she knew that her wanna-be-sensei was on her traces, and so she wasted no second and made her way to the local strip club first. But as she was about to enter she was hold up by a big hand.

"Lollypop what do you think you're doing?"

"Ever heard of Jiraya?"

"Who hasn't … now what do you need of a strip club?"

"Shit-face … Jiraya writes Icha Icha … he has to get his inspiration from somewhere and Naruto won't say no. SO … I'm visiting the local strip club to see if the two have been here … which I'm almost sure of and whether they have left traces or not."

She yanked her hand out of his grip and was again gone in a swirl of Sakura blossoms.

"That woman … I have no time for a game of 'catch me if you can' … not even with the 'Black Blossom' … stupid name for an ANBU… " he growled before vanishing in a cloud of dust once again.

"A big man with white hair and a younger one with yellow hair and blue eyes … Yes, they have been here."

"Did they say where they would be going?"

"Taro Island. They wanted to meet someone there."

"Taro island…" Sakura repeated to herself. "Thank you."

She bowed to the man and left the Strip club. Outside she was eager to leave, when she felt her sensei approaching. But before he could even say a word, she dissolved into Sakura blossoms again.

He sighed – she really did evade him. That was just childish … he should just leave. Wait – stop, that was exactly what she wanted him to do! Oh great … what a pest. Taro Island … here we come.

She landed in the clearing. Something was off about it. The vultures were circling this clearing but there was nothing.

It's a genjutsu, honey

"Kai." She dispelled it.

And screamed …

He found her in the evening, she was whining like a dog and the tears were running down her cheeks. Left of her was a bundle of orange, right a bundle of white. It didn't take him long to realize, who it was. She looked at him and smiled.

"We need Naruto, right?" he nodded. "He's more important than I am …" she whispered and started to make seals.

He knew that she was Tsunade's apprentice … and that she had long but surpassed her shishou, but bringing a dead back from the life? That would need the Revival Jutsu and that one was …

"Stop it."

She just kept on doing seals as she started to glow green. Her hair started flying around her as the pressure got too much. The corpse in front of her started glowing green as well.

"Stop it, Haruno." He ordered, but she placed her hands on his chest.

"The only use I will have is in reviving him … I feel like Haku … I need a use … and he can use my life."

Her chakra started seeping out of her and into the body under her hands. The chakra started making a ball around her to protect her from the outside influences as she pumped all her chakra into the man's corpse. He watched her take her own life away to servethe village. Damn it. Not only would the Hokage kill him, the Kyuubi would too, Hatake would … damned why had he even said those words!?

She was precious to the village and he could really use a smart head like hers in his team … Damn it!

The boy's chest began to move, rise and fall with his breaths; but she wasn't finished yet. Her chakra flow got slower and slower and he knew that she was almost out of it. She called back the chakra shield and forced the chakra into her hands, where she let it seep into his body. The Kyuubi vessel opened his eyes.

"S-Sakura-chan?" he asked feebly as she smiled and pushed her last chakra into his body.

Smiling she looked at her sensei, before she fell to the side, but Ibiki was already steadying her. He looked at the Kyuubi.

"Do you know who you are?"

"Of course! I am Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Shhht. Boy are you crazy? We are in the middle of the forest and it's night." Ibiki scooped the young woman up in his arms and looked at her. She wasn't breathing as far as he could tell – DAMNED!

"Can you control your chakra? We have to get home." He ordered.

"Hai. B-but … what about Ero-sannin?" he pointed to Jiraya.

"Let's switch, pipsqueak. You take Lollypop and I take your Sensei."

"A-Alright."

Awww! Sakura is so selfless ... and Ibiki feels guilty ... see what happens in the next chapter!!
