"We have been on this stupid boat for a month now! When are we getting off? I bet I could walk there faster." "NARUTO! For the love of God, SHUT UP!" Naruto stopped talking and instead walked to the ledge of the boat. He looked out onto the water and flashbacks of his team's last encounter with Sakura swarmed his mind. He still replayed the battle over and over, trying to figure out what he did wrong, and how he could have done things better to get her back, but he can never find the answer. He had spent the last three years training to become stronger so he could bring back Sakura and become Hokage. Hopefully this won't take too long, I need to be training and looking for Sakura. He looked up at the setting sky and then went back into the cabin that he and Jiriaya shared. I will rescue you Sakura, believe it!

Sakura was running as fast as she could through the forest of Kiri. She could barely see the trees in front of her due to all of the mist. This mist is a pain in the ass; don't we know some jutsu to make this shit disappear? How I wish we did. She looked back and threw kunai at the Nins chasing her. She didn't know who they were or what they wanted. All she knew was that they were making her job a hell of a lot harder. Her mission was to assassinate a man that was leaking way to much information on the Akatsuki, which any info was too much. She wasn't supposed to kill anyone else no matter what situation arises. That part was made as a test so she had to be careful and not just lollygag around. All in all it was frustrating her to no end. Luckily before the Nins had found her she had put a henge on herself that made her look male, the bad thing was she was still wearing the Akatsuki cloak and her pink hair was hard to hide with any jutsu. So now anyone ho saw her would tell everyone that the Akatsuki now had a sissy boy with pink hair that didn't want to kill anyone in their group. She rolled her eyes at the future rumor. She stopped suddenly, turned around, and pressed the middle of the petal necklace that Itachi had given her.

When she was alone he had told her what it was actually for. He had found a way to transfer some of his sharingan ability into an object, but the user had to be mentally suited for it to work. During their training he had realized that due to her other persona her mind worked a lot like his, and he used that ability to train her to have a strong mind that could handle virtually anything.

The four Nins froze instantly, and Sakura had them in the sharingan. She made them forget they saw her and made them go back to their village. When they awoke all that was there was a sense of loosing something and cherry blossoms on the ground.

Sakura was breathing deeply. She didn't know if it would work on the Nins because she didn't know how strong they were so she high tailed away from the Nins as soon as she could. She had now changed her appearance to that of a woman about forty with long black hair and big emerald eyes. She didn't want to change all of her appearance because that would drain all of her chakra, so she just changed her hair color and added wrinkles. She had ran to the nearest village in Kiri and found herself in a small town called Mist Fall. It was so unoriginal. She went to the nearest inn and rented a room furthest away form all others. She went to her room and took a long shower. After that she took out her missions scroll and reread the plan.

She had shown up at Hanzou's party disguised as a noble woman with long black hair that was up in a chignon and cerulean blue eyes that reminded her of Naruto. She was wearing a silver dress that glittered in the moonlight, but was more of a weapons holder than an actual dress. She was currently waiting for the opportune moment to take him out. He had been told that a woman with her appearance would be there to…..entertain him for the night. Of course Sakura had taken out that woman and was now "filling in". God damn! You would think that these peacocks with all there money would at least have some decent food! All of this is crap! Who wants to eat fish eggs? Will you shut up? For the love of all things living you—there he is!

Walking through the door was a man about forty with black hair and black eyes. He walked with confidence, as if he was better than everyone else in the room. This arrogant man is known as Hanzou. Hanzou was flanked by four jounin Nins, they just so happened to be the same ones that were chasing her the day before. Just what we need. The Nins passed by her without so much as a glance, but Hanzou (also a known pervert) stared lustfully at her. She had to swallow her vomit at the thought of touching him in any way let alone in THAT way. Nasty old man. I am kind of glad were killing him, wait kind of, I meant extremely happy! Then inner started cackling like a mad woman. Everyone had turned their attention to him, but with a wave of his hand they resumed what they were doing.

He went towards the private rooms, and motioned for Sakura to follow. His guards were mingling but keeping a keen eye on the situation. This man obviously is never told no. she quietly followed him throwing hidden glances towards the guards and sizing them up. If need be she needed to know if she could take them on. She walked into the room that Hanzou had went into and was immediately shoved against the wall. He forcefully pressed his lips to hers. She dropped her henge and he stopped instantly. Recognition flooded his sense, who wouldn't know her when they saw her? She was the only missing-nin with pink hair after all.

"Y-you-you're the Kill hime!" He said stuttering and backing away from her. She stood up tall and stalked towards him slowly and licked her elongated fangs, something she picked up from Orochimaru. He was continuing backing away until his back hit the wall behind him. He frantically looked around; searching for something to help him, but everyone knew that when the Killer Hime was upon you, your death was imminent. She took the flower that Tobi had given her out of her hair and walked towards the man letting her killer intent flood into the room and suffocate the man in front of her. She pressed the flower and the blades sprung out ready for her to use. She threw the flower at the man's heart. It sunk into his flesh with an eerie grace. The man spurted up blood. She pulled out the scythe that was a clone of Hidan's seemingly out of thin air, and sliced the major vein on his arm with ease. Then she took the chakra out of the scythe and made it transfer back into her weapons pouch. She then pulled out her favorite kunai; (it was one that Konan had made for her. It had deep, red jewels on the handle and was extremely sharp.) And put it to the man's throat. She took her time slicing his neck before slicing his head from his body.

She would set the head up as a warning to all who dared betray the Akatsuki.

Naruto and Jiriaya had finally gotten off of the boat and were now staying in a run-down, cheap motel. "Do you remember the mission brat?" Jiriaya asked Naruto while plopping down unto his bed. It creaked beneath his weight. "Yes perverted-sensei. Protect Hanzou from all threats, especially that of the Akatsuki." Naruto replied rolling his eyes. "Get some sleep then, tomorrows going to be a busy day." Naruto listened and laid down on his bed and instantly fell asleep.

How was that? Review and tell me what you thought!
