Disclaimer: My pinky once told me that I did not own Naruto
A/N: Sorry I was busy and I had a lot to catch up at school now that I can go back there. Well here comes chapter 4 of I you were gone … hope you enjoy.
Chapter 4: The mission
"Lady Haruno, we have arrived" were the first words Sakura heard from a living being since she left Konoha…
"Right, it is Itachi-sama", remembered Sakura as she heard a man's voice
She remembered it all too vividly, her dream of the eleven tailed Bijû, The Guardian. But one question remained, was it true, had she really died and came back to life just to become the host to the eleven tails, was the eleven tail even real?
Sure she had heard stories and rumors, but never would she have imagined that the Guardian to all the tail beasts actually existed.
And one more question, had she really spoken in Itachi's dream to meet him and to become her escort?
She turned her head to the side to find an older version of Uchiha Sasuke, looking at her…
"So he really was there after all, was he" Sakura thought, as she looked back at the Uchiha with her eyes full of questions.
" You don't really remember do you, Haruno-sama?"
"Hum… well, not exactly no"
"The eleven tailed beast is locked in a shrine at the far back of The Land of Lightning, in a place that is as good as forgotten, if I may add, you chose me to come on you quest because a Sharingan user is needed to unlock to shrine as well as a member if the Otaki clan which have been protecting the shrine for centuries. Then from what I have heard we need to travel all the way to the Land of Earth to gain all the powers of the Eleven tails back, then I don't know I guess you will now on time…"
"So its true then…."
"Well my lady if you don't mind, we have to get going now… There is no time to loose and we better go before they sent hunter nins after us sine you are, I guess, now a missing nin."
At that Sakura stood up and nodded at him. She walked to the closest tree, with him trailing her and jumped on it. The she started to jump from tree to tree toward the border of the Fire country. She was going in the direction of the Lightning country.
She was in deep thought while jumping, if she was revived to do this, would she die, once the mission is finished?
Would she have to leave, without ever saying goodbye to Naruto? And …Sasuke?
Her heart tightened…Sasuke…

"Wha… Sakura…SAKURA" Sasuke could not believe his eyes for one, his brother was not dead, then Sakura claims to be a host, then last but not least she DISAPEARS right in front of him WITH HIS BROTHER…. Something was up, and it was not something good… that's for sure…
Then he turned his eyes away from, the now empty bed that was Sakura's, only to find that everybody was staring at him.
Naruto, looked terrified, his teammate had just dissapered with a missing nin…
Tsunade with eyes that could kill him. He was sure that if her eyes could throw lightning, we could already be electrocuted to the bone.
Shizune on her side, she was silent and was looking at him with pity… and… sadness, maybe.
Sasuke then looked back at Tsunade, after all Sakura was like a daughter to her, after Sakura's parents had died, Tsunade had claimed her as her daughter, and no most likely because of him, she was gone…
"Lady Ho-"
"don't you dare say a word Uchiha, if I was still the Hokage, fro this moment on you would be sentenced to death, and I would be the one to do it, so shut your mouth before I kill you"
"Hey, hey, hey granny Tsunade, I gues it's a good thing your not the Hokage anymore, right, ha… " Then Naruto opened his eyes to look at Tsunade, and he imidiatly stopped laughing "Hum…. He,he, sorry, granny, I couldn't help it…"
Tsunade then let her head fall and covered it with her hands and all the other persons in the room could her chocked sobs has her body shook in grief for her adopted daughters disappearance.
Sasuke look down t his feet like they were the most interesting thing in the world, to hide his own sadness.

They had been traveling for a few hours now, and the soon-to-be Bijû was thinking of Konoha again… Then her thoughts slowly drifted to the people in that room that she had left only a few hours prior.
"How is everybody feeling? I hope Lady Tsunade isn't to mad at me for my actions…" Wondered Sakura while looking into the distance, hoping to see some sign, that she knew would not come, on how her friends were.
She was also wondering if the news had spred through the village yet, or if Tsunade had done her possible to keep it secret…
She did not know and it bothered her…
000
She looks worried… Uchiha Itachi though while looking at the pink-haired young women that was jumping from tree to tree right in front of him.
He still remembered the expression on his brother's face once he saw that he was in his dream. And his even more then troubled expression when he saw the pinkette in his dream as well.
Itachi was about to ask her on her thoughts, but at that moment she suddenly stopped and stared a bit ahead in the forest.
Then he sensed why she had stopped, he stopped as well and went in battle position.
There was ninjas a bit ahead ad from their chakra signature, which he recognized, he could tell that they were her for them.
He then recognized that the reason why the chakra signature was so familiar to him was because he has fought against it before…
It was a high level missing nin with four other ninjas all from the Sound… They must have been some left overs from Orochumaru and they must have been engenged ti fight them.
At that moment he turned to Sakura to tell her when he saw something that sent shivers down his spine, her eyes were no longer green they were golden, and she did not look one least bit worried, she looked straight in his eyes and said "May it all begin and finish here, Uchiha"
