Itachi's Promise: Fifty-one
Sakura watched Madara as he pulled his skin-tight shirt, from his body and threw it across the room. Sakura glanced at the scars covering his back then looked away. Madara looked over his shoulder at Sakura and then laid back in bed and pulling the covers up to cover most of his chest.
"Lie down," Madara ordered, Sakura pulled her body from the other side of the bed and stood beside it.
"I'm not tired," Sakura answered, walking to the nearest wall and sliding down it.
Madara sat up in the bed and looked over at Sakura.
"Don't worry you won't be alive much longer," Madara told Sakura, Sakura nodded and looked out the window.
Seeing the village, it looked the same but different, there was something different.
Uchiha Compound
All the Uchihas had been confined to their own house, each house had two sound ninjas watching them. Fugaku stood at the gates of the Uchiha compound entrance with Mikoto limp in his arms; Fugaku stepped into the Uchiha compound and everyone was watching from the windows as Mikoto was in the arms of Fugaku. Everyone gasped as Fugaku dumped her on the floor and stepped over her body.
"Mikoto," A young child cried from a nearby house.
"Shut up," Fugaku yelled at the child.
The child burst into tears and Fugaku walked towards the child; as Fugaku neared the house a sound ninja stepped into his way. Fugaku was about to yell at the ninja, when the sound ninja kneed Fugaku in the stomach and then sent him flying back across the Uchiha compound. Fugaku was quickly on his feet and the sound ninja were surrounding Fugaku. The sound ninja didn't dare go near Fugaku, but they created a sound barrier around Fugaku and created as much noise from their multiple jutsus, sending Fugaku falling to the ground completely unconscious.
Hokage Tower – Hokage's Formal Sleeping Quarters
Sakura saw as the black crow flew across the sky and knew it was time, Sakura stood slowly up and walked to the side of the window. Leaning back against the wall beside the window. As the window shattered, Sakura let the glass fall to the floor and jumped from the window on to the massive black crow that had at least doubled in size.
"Are you okay, Sakura?" Deidara asked, taking her hand as the crow flew higher in the sky.
"Yes, I just need to find Orochimaru and Itachi," Sakura replied, looking down at the rooftop of an old coffee shop that Orochimaru had agreed to meet her there with Itachi.
As Sakura looked down a second time she saw Orochimaru with Itachi lying limply in his arms. Sakura dived from the bird, spinning in mid air and then landing softly on the rooftop as Deidara flew over eight metres from the ground. Sakura waved back at Deidara and he was off.
"It has already started, the Uchiha compound, jails and hospital have been taken control of again," Orochimaru answered.
"Okay, Madara was in the Hokage Tower, but probably not anymore," Sakura told Madara.
"Madara, will need to be taken care of soon," Orochimaru answered, looking at Sakura.
"I know, I will take care of him once I know the village is safe," Sakura replied.
"You better," Orochimaru replied, setting Itachi gently on the ground and stepping away to let Sakura kneel down beside him.
Itachi opened his eyes and smiled at Sakura, Sakura placed her hands on Itachi's chest and began to force chakra into his body. Orochimaru remained quiet as he watched as Sakura healed Itachi; after a while Itachi sighed with relief and opened his eyes and watched as Sakura completed his job. Sakura stood up after she had finished and turned towards Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, take Itachi to the Uchiha compound; while I deal with Madara," Sakura ordered.
Orochimaru nodded, once again lifting Itachi up into his arms and running off. Sakura turned around to find the entire Akatsuki standing now behind her. Sakura looked at each member (Sasori, Deidara, Pein, Kakuzu, Hidan and Kisame).
"You work with me now," Sakura said.
"Your replacing Itachi for the time being," Pein said.
Kisame came and stepped up next to Sakura; Kisame smiled down at Sakura as she smiled up at him.
"What's the plan?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know, even with every single Akatsuki member at full health and fully rested Madara would be hard to defeat. So we need new ideas," Pein told everyone.
"Hidden Leaf Village Ninjas," Sakura answered.
"Would they help us?" Kakuzu questioned.
"Yes," Sakura answered.
Kisame span around Sakura, pulling hi sword from his back and slicing it through the air behind Sakura. Sakura was pulled backwards into Pein and watched as Kisame was forced back a step. Hidan ran at Madara, his blade in his hand. Sasori joined in the fight with his puppets and Deidara with his clay bee like creatures that were trying to get to attach to Madara. Sakura stood in front of Pein, as Pein watched the Akatsuki and tried to find of a way to take him down. Sasori was pulled forward as Madara grabbed his chakra strings and yanked him forward; Deidara was hit with a puppet as Madara swung Sasori's puppet at Deidara. Sakura jumped forward, towards Madara. Madara completely dodged Sakura's double kunai attack and landed behind Sakura. Sakura stepped forward as Kisame swung his sword at Madara. Sasori grabbed Sakura with his chakra stings and helped her flip over Madara and land on the ground behind him. Madara grabbed the chakra strings and performed one hand sign and zapped lightning along the strings. Sasori shouted as the lightning hit him and he fell to the floor panting. Hidan was in front of Sasori; Hidan had his blade in front of him, protecting Sasori and himself. Madara forced Kisame away from him and performed rapid hands signs. Lightning echoed from Madara, bolts flew through the air from Madara, hitting mostly the floor but also all the Akatsuki. Pein jumped backwards, trying to dodge the lightning but he was too slow and it hit him also. The Akatsuki screamed as the lightning ran through their bodies continuously pinning them to the floor.
"No," Sakura shouted, sending all of the energy left in her body back against Madara's lightning.
