I'm very sorry that I haven't updated in like two months...I've been working all summer for college. well i'm sad to say this story is about to end pretty soon this might be the second to the last I'm not entirely sure. I've decided that since this is a Sasuke and Sakura story this will end that way. unless i change my mind again hahah

Same disclaimer

Last time:

The blond Hokage then turned toward the four and said, "We need to go, they know we're here. I don't know why but we need to go now. No time for questions." The five nodded, pushing chakra to their feet and running to follow the Hokage.

Another crashing tree made the group look back. Cato looked dodged the falling branches and summoning some of his lightning chakra to destroy the tree that was ready to fall on Eiffe.

"Where is Peeta?" Haymitch said looking around for his tribute. Everyone looked around and found that he was nowhere to be found.

"I'm sure he's fine but we need to find who is the asshole responsible for leaking the information about our mission." Cato growled punching tree with all his might, breaking it slightly. Tsunade's eyes narrowed then pushed the mic around her neck.

"Sakura and Uchiha, I want you to find Snow." She ordered stiffly

"Kill the target or keep him alive?" Sasuke's cold tone could be heard from the other side.

"Kill him...and if you run into our traitor, kill him or her too. That's an order." she replied in a tone that matched Sasuke's.

"Hai," the two chorused.

Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other and then turned to go to the Capital.

"Do we want to infiltrate without trouble or just smash our way through this fleet?" Sasuke asked his companion. Sakura gave him a sweet smile that held anger and thirst for revenge.

"I say we destroy these damn fleets and make it known to them that they can't mess with Konoha ninjas." Sakura growled lowly dodging another bullet. Sasuke smirked and activated his eternal mangekyou sharingan, summoning his susano in the process. Soon purple chakra surrounded him as it took form of a warrior. Sakura bit her finger and summoned her six wolves for combat.

"Sasuke, could you give my wolves a lift?" Sakura asked nicely with a determined look on her face. The Uchiha nodded and allowed the wolves to climb on top of his arrow and shot them up to the nearest blimp. The animals destroyed everything in their path, while Sasuke was destroying blimps and armored ships one by one. Sakura threw knives at the ground reinforcements killing them all one by one with a kunai threw their necks.

The two soon reached the Capitol's walls and infiltrated them with ease. They reached the main room and found Peeta tied up on the floor with a cloth around his mouth. Sakura's eyes widened and rushed to her boyfriend. She didn't notice the flash of hurt across Sasuke's face when she knelt down to caress Peeta's bloodied face.

"Who did this to you?" Sakura asked healing the cuts and bruises on his face. Peeta coughed up some blood and answered weakly, "S-now."

"Come out, I can sense your puny chakra," Sasuke gritted between his teeth, his anger rising. Peeta stood behind the two as they blocked him from Snow's path.

"Hello Ms. Haruno," the man grinned. Sakura glared at him.

"Well, you were a pest. Now you're going to die along with your friend here," he chuckled, continuing.

"Oh yeah, you and what army?" Sasuke sneered pulling out his katana, readying himself for an attack.

"My boy I don't need an army," Snow laughed more.

"I'm sorry," Peeta whispered. Sakura whipped around to stop Peeta but the poisoned kunai had already embedded itself on Sasuke's back piercing through his ribs and lungs, stopping just near his heart instead because he had moved her out of the way just in time. Sasuke gasped in pain as he started to fall down. Sakura caught him and laid him on the floor. He gripped his chest, trying some way to breath. The pink haired medic felt tears fall down her angelic face as she turned to look at her 'lover', who had a stoned look on his face.

"Why! why did you do it!" Sakura yelled getting up.

"I'm sorry, he promised to keep my family safe." Peeta said as he proceeded to attack her. Sakura dodged his attacks trying to think of a plan.

"My dear little cherry blossom if you don't hurry your teammate is going to die." Snow chuckled.

"Sakura you need to choose! Peeta or Sasuke!" Her inner screeched in her mind.

"I don't know! Sasuke he left the village, cheated on me but hes still my teammate. Peeta, i loved him." Sakura replied feeling more tears falling down her porcelain face.
Before her inner could reply to Sakura, Sasuke's voice brought her to reality, "Sakura, I love you and I'm sorry for everything. goodbye." Even though it was a whispered confession, Sakura heard it.

"Thank you Sasuke." she whispered back, turning to Snow. Her wolves crashed through the window and held Peeta down, while she made her way towards the ruler with a kunai in her hand.

"You think you've won? think again." Sakura hissed looking at the scared man. She didn't let him to finish as she sliced his throat. When she finished, she turned to look at Peeta with a sad look but it changed to hatred. With a small nod, her wolves killed him. She watched his body fall to the ground.

The door busted open and Konoha 12 with the rest of the Panem ninjas looking at Sakura, who was kneeling down on Sasuke's body and pushing chakra on her fingers.

"Sasuke! please stay with me!" she yelled crying. Tsunade and Shizune pushed passed Sakura and asked Kakashi to carry her out of the room.

"The rest of you, free the prisoners. Kakashi, I need you to keep her from entering the room. Ayano and Cato dispose of Peeta's body. Naruto I want you to help Kakashi." their Hokage ordered.

"Hai," everyone chorused. Kakashi engulf Sakura's crying form in a tight hug.

"Kakashi, what if he dies? I'm so stupid. because of me Naruto might lose his best friend and teammate." she sobbed.

"Shhh, you're not stupid, it's not your fault." Kakashi whispered kissing her temple. Naruto nodded, "Yeah Sakura-chan don't worry about it. Teme is a strong shinobi, it'll take more than poison, a stab to his lung and deep gashes to kill him."

"Naruto?

"Yeah Kakashi-sensei?"

"Shut up, you're not helping,"

Well that's chapter 19, the next one will be the epilogue. i hope sasuke doesn't die!

I'm sorry again for the late update.
