Disclaimer: Naruto doesn't belong to me, if it did Jiraiya wouldn't be dead, and him and Tsunade would be happy together…
Chapter 2
All Sakura heard was the swish of the wind as she was knocked backwards into a tree. "Umph." She couldn't help but say out loud. "He's going to kill us if this continues." Inner Sakura said. "Will you shut up or help me out. We have to stay focused or else we really will die!" She dodged a kunai it missing her by an inch. "See?" Sakura cleared her head and focused on every movement of Orochimaru's snake like body. "You're sstill sslow Ssakura." Orochimaru said stressing out the S's way too much for her taste. She had to get faster or else who would use her as a snack or whatever else it was that he did, Sakura really didn't want to find out. Sparring with Orochimaru was dangerous; if she made one wrong move then he could kill her. She barely dodged a kick to her chest, she was out of breath. No she couldn't give up now, she had to get stronger or else she would die. It had been three months since she decided to join Orochimaru and every day she had been subjected to endless hours of painful sparring and training. Every night she had to heal her body just so she could stand. When she wasn't sparring with Orochimaru, she was learning and studying medical ninjutsu with Kabuto. He taught her so many things her head spun, but she had to learn. She realized she had perfect chakra control and that was a plus when just the slightest waver in chakra could result in brain damage, heart failure, and many other severs things that wouldn't be good when healing someone.
Orochimaru was coming at her faster and faster. She almost couldn't keep up with his movements. She saw an opening. She punched his chest releasing her chakra with it, something she learnt by accident. Orochimaru flew back into a tree. "I hit him? I've never hit him before." He got up slowly looking as dazed as she felt. "You're getting better. That concludes today's spar." He said and transported the base. Sakura fell to her knees. Three months and she finally managed to touch him. She let a small smile grace her lips then she resumed her blank face. Something Orochimaru taught her to do always. He believed all emotions to be useless unless they made you stronger. Which to him the only thing that made you stronger was anger and he encouraged her to see the wrong in life and take revenge on everything that has done her wrong; which to her is absolutely crazy. She got to her feet and transported to her room leaving a trail of Sakura blossoms where she last stood.
Konaho
Naruto was pacing outside the hokage's office. Tsunade was in a meeting otherwise he would have barged in and demanded to go rescue Sakura. The original retrieval mission was postponed because Kakashi sensei had to wait till the new icha-icha paradise came in before he'd do another mission. Which made them have to wait three months and now that Kakashi has the new edition they can do the mission to bring Sakura-chan back, much to Sasu-gay's dismay. Naruto saw Tsunade coming and automatically started pestering her about the mission. "Yes, yes you can go now leave me alone. Tell your sensei to come to me to get the mission scroll he can tell you all the important stuff." Then she shut the door in his face. "YESS!" Naruto said and ran down the hall. He ran all the way to team seven's training field. Sasuke and Kakashi were already there. "Dobe, what did Tsunade say about our mission?" "We can start it now!" Naruto said excitedly. "Well I guess we should all pack up and we'll meet at the gates in an hour." Kakashi said and started walking off. Sasuke stuck his hands in his pocket and walked the other direction.
One hour later Sasuke and Naruto were waiting at Konaho gates for their sensei who happens to always be late. Thirty minutes passed and he still hadn't shown up. Naruto's stomach growled, just as he was about to walk off to Ichiraku, Kakashi showed up with his famous U smile on his face. "I had to help baa-chan across the street." he said sheepishly. "Yeah-yeah, whatever." Naruto said impatiently, "let's go now!" Kakashi took out the mission scroll and told them to study it. After everyone knew the plan they set out to the land of sound.
Orochimaru's base in Sound
"A spy has told me that leaf ninja are coming after our little blossom. We need to move bases." Kabuto said loud enough for Sakura and Orochimaru to hear but not the guards patrolling the hallways. "But I think we need to let them say hello to our blossom, don't you Kabuto?" Orochimaru said sadistically. Kabuto looked at me and then back at Orochimaru, "I agree. She has progressed impressively. I think it's time she used her new skills in combat." He said with a small smile. Sakura fought the urge to shiver at their tones. Sakura didn't want to hurt her former teammates, but if Orochimaru and Kabuto wanted her to there would be no choice but to follow their wishes. Sakura already knew how it would end; she would defeat them and hope they never come after her again. She was in too deep already. Even if they did somehow manage to take her back to Konaho, she would still have the curse mark and Orochimaru could make her massacre the whole village. She would have to defeat them if only to save the lives of the villagers. All these thoughts passed through her in a second. She focused intently on what Orochimaru was planning. It wasn't good and he only said their names.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi all sneezed at the same time. "Someone must be talking about us." Naruto concluded.
Sorry my first chapters have been really short. I'll try to make the next chapters longer. As always review and comment please! Criticism is welcome, and anything else.
