Chapter 5

I don't own Naruto. If I did Sakura and Sasuke would be together by now and Sasuke wouldent be such an ice cube.

I would like to thank all of my reviewers for hanging in there for me. Thanks again.

Thanks again for your paitence.Oh yes and NO FLAMES PLEASE THANKS.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi met up at the bridge after they were all packed. While they were walking they noticed four figures waiting for them at the bridge. It was Team Guy. Might Guy, Rock Lee, Tenten, and Neji. Team 7 walked to them to greet them.

" Hey guys". Said Kakashi waving his hand at the ninja. " Ahh its Kakashi my arch rival Kakashi." Said Guy pointing a finger at Kakashi. " Yo mega bushy brows (S.p) shut up so we can save Sakura-Chan." Said Naruto glarring at Guy.

" Yosh! I agree with Naruto-kun! Lets go rescue the youthful Sakura-san! Screamed Lee agreeing with Naruto. " Fine." Said Guy acting like a child. " Come on were waisting time." Said Sasuke walking away from the two rivals with Naruto, Neji, Tenten, and Lee. " Coming". They said running up to them.

All seven shinobi walked twards the gate of Konoha. They got outside and started walking twards the Akatsuki base. " So we should reach the base in about a day and the sun is starting to dispaear. So how long are we going to walk?" Asked Tenten.

" I think we should at least cover two miles before we camp out." Said Neji. "That sounds like a good idea." Said Kakashi." Alright lets go!" Said Guy making his awsome pose.

The sun was setting when Sakura Sasori and Deidara walked into the Akatsuki base. They walked into what looked like a living room. They were greeted by Kisame, Itachi, Tobi, and Zetsu. All four were sitting on the couch.(Itachi and Kisame on one couch, and Tobi and Zetsu on another one).

All four looked up when they come into the room. They looked at Sakura in confusion. " Hey Sasori. Whos the girl?" Asked Kisame smiling at Sakura. Sakura glarred at him crossing her arms over her chest. " This is Sakura Shikotsu. She wants to join the Akatsuki." Said Sasori looking bored.

" Why do yo u want to join the Akatsuki?" Asked Tobi. The remianing Akatsuki members looked at Sakura for the answer. Even Itachi was watching her. When Sakura found out they were all looking at her she blushed than glared at them before answering.

" Why do you care? Why should I tell you?" She spat. All the Akatsuki members stared at her in shock. ' This Kunoichi. She has guts talking to us like that. In a room full of s class criminals.' Thought Itachi smirking at her courage.( No this is not a ItachixSakura story)

Deidara decited to inform the leader that she arrived and wanted to talk to him. Sasori took her down numorious halls finally leading to one where the bedrooms of the Akatsuki members were.

He led her to a spare bedroom on the left side of the hall. He then exsplained the whole base to her but refused to take her on a tour because he was lazy and didn't want to. She found out from him how the rooms went in this hall.On the left side was Itachis room, then hers, than Tobis room, than on the right side of the halls was Kisames room, than Deidaras room, than Zetsus room. Further down the hall was more Akatsuki rooms but she didn't pay attencion to the names.

Than she learned that this base was a three story base. Below them was the dongeon where the prisioners were kept for torchering and sometimes they killed them down their. Next story was the one she was in now. Which was multiple bedrooms for the Akatsuki members. Than their were some weapon rooms when they got low.

There was also a living room where she was a minute ago. Than finally a huge kitchen. Sakura sweatdropped when Sasori said that no one could cook so it was good that she was here. ' Man all they can do is kill people and they cant do something as easy as cooking. Troblesome'. Thought Sakura.

Than on the top floor was meeting rooms for breifing on missions they would be going on. And the leaders room was up there as well. " Did you get all that I was saying Sakura?" He asked when he was finished. " I think so but I think ill get lost until I can find where to go on my own." She said laughing nerviously.

Sasori snorted. " Well you don't have to worry im sure Deidara would be over joyed to take you on a tour." He said. " Now stay in the room until someone comes to get you and take you to the leader." He said walking back to the living room. "Okay". She said opening the door to her room and walking inside, closing the door behind her.

With Team Guy and Team 7………………………………

They had sucsessfully walked two miles before setting up camp for the night. They had allready set up tents and their dinner was cooking. ( Naruto had brought tons of ramen packs like always and perswaded everyone to eat ramen for dinner) Tenten and Lee went to get water in a near by stream which left Kakashi Naruto( who was paying attension to the cooking ramen whispering " Come on finish already. I could eat ten cups of ramen right now.") Guy, Neji, and Sasuke to sit around the fire and discuss things.

" Kakashi why did Sakura run away." Asked Guy. Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashis heads dropped when they heard the question. " Well she left because…." He stopped recalling the letter she left them. 'But the main reason I left is because I am weak. And Sasuke was right I am weak. But that's about to change.' " Because she thought she was weak. And we called her weak and anoyying. After that all of us left for one reason or another and Sakura felt alone and usless." He said looking at Sasuke wincing when he said 'we called her weak and anoyying.'

He also looked at Naruto whos face they couldent see because he was hiding it with his bangs. Neji eyed them carfully while Guy just looked sympathetic twards them. Tenten and Lee came back seconds after they finished talking and decited not to say anything because of the lookes on everyones faces. The ramen finished and everyone took a bowl. Everyone except Naruto. He stood up saying, " Im going to take a walk." "Wait but Naruto arent you hungry?" Asked Tenten looking at him with sad eyes.

He stared at her with dull eyes. " No." Was his only reply. He turned to the left into the forest and walked slowly. Everyone looked at him sadly.

Naruto walked a little ways until he came to a clearing where he saw the moon shining apon him. A gentle brease ruffled his hair a bit. He looked up at the moon. His hands inside his pockets. His eyes full of sadness. 'Why Sakura-chan. Why did you leave? Would you have left if you found out about who you really are.' Naruto was confused. Maybie it was true that people didn't pay attension when she was gone. Not even Tsunade-no-baa-chan payed any attension to her. She was the Hokage but she still could have made a little time to spend with her.

'Its all my fault. Well most of it is. For leaving her so long and I lefft almost right after Sasuke left. I bet she doesent even know Sasuke is back.' He was thinking so hard he didn't notice a presence behind him coming up to the left of him. "Dobe". Said the voice beside him. Narutos eyes widened then went back down.

" What Sasuke-teme". He asked looking at Sasuke. " I came to talk". He said looking at the moon like Naruto had. Naruto laughed lightly. " That's funny Teme. I didn't think you liked to talk." Said Naruto, looking back at Sasuke.

" You cant blame this on yourself. It wasent your falt she left… It was mine." He said looking at the ground. Naruto was shocked. " Huh?" Was all he said standing their dumbfounded. 'Sasuke taking responsibility?' Thought Naruto. " Yes I admit it was my falt and I… I miss her". He said looking Naruto right in the eye.

Naruto smiled. " I miss her two. We havent seen her for two years and now she leaves the vilage." He said lookong upand letting a lone tear run down his face. It ran down his cheek bone then dropping to the dirt ground beneth him. Sasuke just looked at him. He heasitited saying this for a second. " Don't worry Naruto. Well get her back. Even if we have to throw her over our shoulder and drag her back." He said smirking at the thought.

Naruto laughed. " Yeah." He agreed. " Now lets go back and eat." Said Sasuke turning back to where the camp was. Narutos stomach growled. " Hehehe, yeah im starving". Said Naruto folowing Sasuke. Sasuke sweatdropped but then smirked. They both headed back to the camp site.

In the Akatsuki base…..

Sakuras room….

Sakura looked in her room where she could see a king size bed, the headboard leaning up against the wall on the other side of the room. She noticed that their was only one window in the room. It was a big window and she could lay down or sit on the window sill. To her right was a empty dresser. And the walls and carpet were a dull grey. The only light in the room was the moons glow that covered only half of the room.

She sighed and went to the window sill leaning her head against one of the walls of the window while her feet were up against the other side. She looked out the window at the moon and saw Naruto and strangly Sasukes face on the moon. She wondered where he was right now and what he was doing. ' You miss him don't you Sakura –san." Said Serenity. ' Yes and I also think im still in love with him.' She confessed to Serenity.

Sakura untied her headband and held it in her hand looking at it. Serenity was just about to answer when someone opened the door letting themselves in. It was Deidara. " Sakura-chan the leader can see you know". He said. She noded her head getting off the window sill. She threw her headband on the bed and walked out the door pulling Deidara along with her so she couldent see her headband.

He lead her upstairs and walked down a long hall. Sakura right on his tail so she wouldent get lost. He stopped at the very last door and opened it walking inside with Sakura right on his heels. It was a bright room and Sakura wasent used to the brightness and had to wait for her eyes to ajust.

Then she noticed all of the Akatsuki members in the room sitting down at a large table with what looked like the leader at the end. All heads looked at her when she came into the room. All was quiet in the room until the leader spoke. "Girl, what is your name?" Asked the leader in a errie voice. " My name is Sakura Shikotsu." She said making it sound as if that was her real name her whole life. He bought it.

" Fine. Sakura tell me what vilage have you betrayed?" He asked. She cringed when he said 'Betrayed' but she did. " I come from the vilage hidden in the leaf. Konohakirge(sp?)." She said. " Hm interesting weve only had one other come from that vilage. Itachi Uchiha." He said pointing to him. She looked over at him. He was looking at her intently. She glared at him long and hard. He smirked at her face. 'So we come from the same vilage. Very interesting.' He thought still smirking at her.

" Okay now I only have a couple mor questions for you. First, Your sensei. Who was he or she?." He asked. ' Why would he want to know that'. She wondered. She answered anyways. " Well Ive had two." She started. " Oh interesting. continue." Said the leader becoming interested in her. ( Not like that perverts!) " Okay well my first sensei was when I was a genin. His name was Kakashi Hatake." She said. " Oh the copy ninja.Kakashi of the Sharringon eye. The man said to have copyed over one thousand jutsus. You must be a very good ninja." He said. " Um sort of." She said.

"Okay and your second sensei. Who was it." He asked wanting to know more about her. " okay. Well I was the Hokages aprentice. Tsunade shishou." She said. Everyones eyes widened. Than their was whispering in the room by the Akatsuki members. " You were the apprentice of the fifth Hokages. Hahaha very interesting this could be to our advantage." He said amused. " Okay you may join the Akatsuki why is it you left the vilage?" He asked.

" I have to avenge my family who was killed by Orochimaru. Once I become stronger I will find and kill him. I also have a score to settle with one of his apprentices." She said darkly. Everyone mently cringed. She was scarry. Once the leader regained his composure he continued. " What apprentice. He has two." He said.

Sakura looked away. Than she glarred at the wall. " Sasuke Uchiha". She said. Everyone gasped but Itachi who stood up from his chair and glared at her evely.

" What business so you have with my little brother." He asked Curiously. " He left the vilage two years ago to be with the snake lover and I want to teach him a lession. Is that a problem Uchiha?. She asked spitting the last word out like it was a virus.

He just glared at her. " Wait Sasuke Uchiha is one of his apprentices. I dident know that. I only knew the name of one of the apprentices he had, hmm okay one more question Sakura who were your teammates in Konoha?" He asked.

She faced him again and gave him a look that said damn cant you leave me alone im tired. " My two teamates were Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha." She said. Their was gasping and whispering in the room after she finished. " Ah the kyuubi. Well Sakura seems you could be a very good asset to us. Very well get some rest and tomorrow we will start training you and you will give us some information on the kyuubi and the Hokage. Now go." He ordered. She bowed.

" Yes Leader-sama". She said. Than she and Deidara walked back to her room. When Sakura was at the door Deidara spoke. " Sakura –chan here. Your Akatsuki clothes and new headband it alrrady has a slash on it so don't worry about that." He said smiling as he handed her the clothing. " Thank you Deidara." She said. " Good night Saku-chan." He said walking to his room and closing the door. She then went into her room closing and locking the door.

She set her Akatsuki clothes on top of the dresser looking at them. The clothes consisted of a straw hat with a bell on the right side, a short spagetty strap shirt that went just above her bellybutton, a fishnet shirt that went under the spagetty shirt that covered her stomach and arms(Sort of because its fishnet.), A black skirt that went an inch above her knees, and the standard Akatsuki cloak.(you know black cloak with red clouds). She sighed and walked to her bed.

She didn't have any pajamas so she just took off her black ninja sandals and climbed into the suprising cozy and soft bed falling into a dreamless sleep.
