He could hear the cheers of his people in the distance. He knew telling them of Sakura's death was the right choice. Naruto never wanted his people to live in fear. He always dreamed of peace throughout the nations one day.

What an impossible thought, right?

How could one person bring peace to the whole entire world? It was an impossible and idiotic dream to have, but Naruto was willing to die for this dream. He would first start with Konoha. If he could bring peace to his country he could hope that one day the peace in Konoha could spread everywhere.

A smile went on his face knowing that his people were happy again...

But is Sakura truly dead?

'I know how Sakura can be. She wouldn't just kill herself.' Naruto thought to himself.

He had evidence that Sakura was dead. There were letters written by her saying she was going to kill herself. But if she did, then where is her body?

Sakura knew that she needed to be cautious when coming close to the village in front of her. She remembered this village.

'I killed a lot of people here...' Sakura began remembering all the things she did and how she killed all her victims. The thought at first disgusted her and made her want to vomit. But the more she thought about it the more she began to crave that feeling of over powering another human being and taking away their very existence.

The wind blew and Sakura was knocked out of her trance. The cold made her shiver reminding her that she needed warmth and fast.

Sakura started running to get to the village faster. Once she spotted the gate the guards caught sight of her right away.

'Shit! I need to get passed these guards. I can't get captured!' Sakura began to analyze her surroundings to find away around these guards. 'I'm going to have to fight them, but I have no supplies...Damn.'

"Hey! Stop! Who are you!?" The guards were prepared to fight and protect their village. Sakura was ready for anything they came at her with. Sadly, she realized she had no chakra either. 'Damn spirits taking away everything. What do they expect me to do now? Have someone kill me instead of me killing myself?'

Sakura was furious. She knew she could still use her taijutsu, but without her chakra her strength would be nothing compared to these guys. They would be able to overpower her in minutes. 'What are they going to do to me when they capture me? They'll know who I am once close enough to spot my hair color.'

Since the moment the guards spotted Sakura, she stopped right in her spot. That moment she started to calculate how to escape, but yet she needed to enter this village to get warmth. The guards had no idea of her intentions or abilities. Both enemies, but yet scared to cross paths just yet.

'I can't give up. I will not let them get me that easily. I am not weak and will never be weak.' Sakura got ready and started to charge toward the village. The guards couldn't believe how this person would just charge straight at them.

Once Sakura was in close combat range, she throw a punch at one of the guards face and dodged the second guards attack. The fighting went on longer than she anticipated. She got many punches in on the guards and was able to take some of the weapons the guards had on them. Sakura was able to get some wounds on the guards, but this fight was continuing and was probably going to last much longer. They needed to end this. Finally, the noise from outside the village attracted some attention.

One ninja from the leaf village happened there on a re-con mission. "Shadow Possession Jutsu!"Shikamaru was able to capture Sakura in his shadow jutsu. 'Shit!' Sakura knew she was done for. They would take her back to the leaf village and she would have to face everyone there. Sakura didn't want to do that. She wanted nothing to do with them.

"Troublesome. We all thought you were dead. Sakura.." Shikamaru walked out from the shadows into the candlelight. "It's pretty amazing though how you still put up a fight against the guards." Shikamaru shot a smirk at Sakura and the guards. "If her suicide was correct then shouldn't she be dead right now? Or what it a trick? There is something different about her. She has no chakra so her ability to use her super strength has been weakened." Shikamaru thought to himself while Sakura continued to glare daggers at him.

Sakura said through clenched teeth, "What are you going to do to me now? Take me back to that waste of a village you call home!"

"You're different. It seems like you are forcing yourself to hate the Leaf Village, but still you can't even believe your own lie. Pitiful." Shikamaru knew how troublesome this was, but he was having some fun taunting her. Shikamaru and Naruto grew close after Naruto become Hokage and Shikamaru become ANBU captain. Shikamaru knew how much pain Naruto went through and is going through because of this woman standing before him. He was disgusted with her presence and wanted nothing more then to cause pain to her. But he refrained and continued their conversation in a civil manner.

Sakura started to laugh, "You really think that village is a place I love?! You have no idea how many times you and everyone else in that village have been deceived. Everything you work for and live for is all a lie. I can't even look at you. Let me go and I'll be on my way. I will cause no more harm to these people."

"You really think I will just let you go knowing that you are alive? No I will not. You will be coming back to the village with me as a prisoner...Tch how troublesome." Shikamaru was growing more irritated the more he spoke to this woman. Oh he couldn't wait until he brought her passed those gates of Konoha. This was going to be interesting.

Oh god! You guys must really hate me. :/

I'm really bad at trying to keep up with this. I will try my best. I know it's short, but I wanted to get this chapter out now. I have less than two weeks left in my senior year. I graduate soon. Once summer comes around I should update more frequently. Reviews and possibly ideas please. Thanks! :))
