Chapter 5: 3 Years Later
"Suiton: Bakusui Shōha" Kisame said spitting out a great volume of water from his mouth, swallowing up and crashing Sakura with the advancing surge,
Sakura jump out of the water and did a hand seal "Raiton: Jibashi", she slams her palm on the water, electrifying kisame since he was riding the wave.
Kisame landed on the water, but he quickly emerge and attack Sakura with Samehada, Sakura press the seal on her right palm with the kanji for Weapons as a seal using her ring finger and middle finger, a puff of smoke appeared and when it clears, Sakura was holding a battle axe as tall as Samehada.
She counter Samehada with her Akuma no Tsubasa, she channel her lightning chakra into the axe with chakra flow, electrifying Kisame again, but instead of being electrified Samehada absorbs her chakra.
"Haha... Pinky you seem to forget that Samehada can absorb chakra, and he seems to find your chakra a pleasant flavour" Kisame said grinning maniacally, before swinging his sword again.
"Hn" Sakura said countering Samehada with her axe instead of sending lightning chakra she sent her fire chakra.
Samehada absorbs it, but he ended up spitting it, before he could recover from the taste of the fire, Sakura swings her axe disarming Kisame.
"I believe I win Sharky" Sakura said smirking.
"Good job Blossom" Sasori said walking towards them with the rest of the Akatsuki.
"Oh my Kami! my baby girl is growing up" Konan said running to Sakura and hugging the living day light out of her
"Konan let go of her she can't breathe" Nagato said placing his palm on Konan's shoulder.
"I'm sorry it's just that she's growing up so fast, oh Nagato" Konan said hugging Nagato with tears falling from her eyes.
"Okaa-san I'm only 8" Sakura said sweat dropping at her mothers antics.
"Exactly... It feels like yesterday you were only 5" Konan said wiping her tears.
"Your growing ssssstronger and ssssstronger, Hime" Orochimaru said sliding his long tongue on his lower lip.
"Aa and your becoming creepier and creepier" Sakura said in a monotone, she never really like Orochimaru, nope never did and probably never will.
Orochimaru just smirk, he wanted to take Sakura's body and turn her into his new vessel, but sadly for him Sakura is stronger and powerful than him, he remember the day he tried to take Sakura's body.
6 years old Sakura was meditating on top of water with a waterfalls behind her, it's been a year since she last saw her 2 friends Sasuke and Naruto.
"I wonder how they've been?" she thought, she wants to visit them but her parents wont allow her.
She ask them why and they told her about the Akatsuki's goal, and that Uzumaki Naruto is the nine-tails Jinchūriki.
"Why does he have to be a Jinchūriki?" she thought bitterly.
"Why the long facccceeeee, Hime?" She heard a snake voice ask.
She opens her eyes and saw Orochimaru standing in front of her with a creepy smile on his face.
"None of your business now scram" she said glaring at him.
"Now, now don't be hassssstttyyy" Orochimaru said his hand turning into a snake.
Sakura narrows her eyes and look at his snake hand, she shook her head and sigh, "what do you want?."
"A new vessssssel" Orochimaru said smirking.
"No way in hell" Sakura said in a monotone.
"Hn, you don't actually have a choice" Orochimaru said before his snake hand shot forward around Sakura trapping her.
Sakura close her eyes and open them again, Orochimaru's snake hand explode splattering blood all around, Orochimaru's eyes widen in shock.
"H-how?" He ask confuse and shock.
"Just because I'm not using my hand doesn't mean I can't control blood" Sakura said without any emotion, "Face the fact Orochimaru I can kill you if I want to and trust me I really do, but I don't want to kill a member of the Akatsuki even if I really want to, and don't worry I won't tell anyone about this, just don't do it again" she said before disappearing.
"Cocky bitch" Orochimaru snarls looking at his bloody hand.
"I will get my revenge on you Hime, just you wait" Orochimaru thought.
"We have a new member" Nagato said.
"Really? Who?" Sakura ask interested.
"Your gonna have to wait to find out, sweetie" Konan said.
"Oh joy" Sakura said heavy with sarcasm.
"Looks like your Kenjutsu has improve, Hime" Kakuzu said counting his money as usual.
"Thanks to this baby" Sakura said admiring her axe, The axe's name is Akuma no Tsubasa literally meaning Wings of a Demon, because of the black wing shape twin blades of the axe with deep etch, Red long shaft with black swirls, and a small white skull on the base, it was her 6th birthday present from Kisame.
She reseals her axe and the seal on her palm disappear, Sasori thought her how to seal her weapons using Generic Sealing Technique like he use to seal his puppets, but instead of using a scroll as a sealing storage, she use her palm she can make the seal appear and disappear if she wants.
"So who's the new member?" Sakura ask coolly.
"Nice try... You'll meet him later" Nagato said smirking.
Sakura pouted "Matte! its a guy?."
"Hai... Me, Sasori, Orochimaru, and Kisame we'll meet him now" Nagato said giving Sakura a kiss on the forehead and Konan on the cheeks before leaving with Sasori inside of Hiruko, Orochimaru, and Kisame.
"So... Who the new member?" Sakura ask again looking at the remaining Akatsuki members.
Zetsu shook his head and sink on the ground, Kakuzu also shook his head and left, Konan smile "you have to be patient sweetie."
"Fine" Sakura huff stomping her feet on the ground.
"Now sweetie we need to increase your speed... Don't get me wrong your fast, faster than Kisame, but I want you to be as fast as... No wait faster than lightning" Konan said pulling something out of her cloak.
"Okay... Whatever you say Okaa-san" Sakura said.
Konan pulls out 4 weights and gave it to her daughter.
"What the-! Okaa-san this is like 500 pounds each" Sakura exclaims through grits teeth.
"Exactly now put 2 on your wrist and 2 on your legs, I want you to run 200 laps around the training grounds... You can't rest unless you run those laps" Konan said grins and helps her daughter put the weights on her wrist and on her legs.
"My body feels heavy... You said you love me" Sakura accuse.
"I do I really do... Now go" Konan said giving Sakura a kiss on the forehead "and when your done you can rest."
"Hai" Sakura said before she starts running with some difficulty.
After 5 and a half hours Sakura finish her laps and was spread on the ground sweat pours down her body and soak her clothes, her legs and wrist burn painfully she feels like cutting the off, she feels like her head is about to explode, and all her bones will break apart.
"Oh Sweetie your father is back" Konan said walking towards her fallen daughter.
Sakura opens her eyes and run towards the hideout faster than she was before and with the weights still on, Konan smiles and follows her inside.
"OTOU-SAN!" Sakura yells when she saw her father.
Nagato turn around just in time to catch Sakura, he almost drop her because of how heavy she is.
"What the devil" He said looking at his daughter's worn out form "what happen?."
"Okaa-san" was the only thing Sakura said.
Nagato looks at his wife, who was smiling innocently "Nani?."
"What did you do?" Nagato ask trying to hide his amusement.
"Made her run 200 laps with 500 weighs on both her wrist and legs" Konan said proudly.
The rest of the Akatsuki looks at her like she was insane all except for Orochimaru who was nowhere to be seen.
"Let me get this straight... You made an 8 years old girl run 200 laps with a total of 2000 weighs on her body?" Sasori ask in disbelief.
"Hai!" Konan said brightly.
"Are you nuts woman?" Kisame exclaim.
"No... It actually made her faster than before, she's as quick as lightning with the weights still on, just think of how fast she will be once she took the weights off" Konan points out.
"Whatever you said Konan" Nagato said, he place Sakura on the couch and took the weights off of her.
"Sakura go to your room and take a long nice bath... You stink sweetie" Nagato said brushing the strand of her on her forehead.
"Hai!" Sakura said tiredly.
"I'll make the bath" Konan said picking her daughter up and disappearing in a swirl of paper.
Konan gently place her daughter on her bed and went to her bathroom, she fills the bathtub with lukewarm water and spills some strawberry scent bubble bath soap on it.
"Sakura it's time to take a bath" Konan said shaking her daughter.
Sakura stood up and walk to her bathroom, she took her clothes off before entering the tub and relaxing.
She wash her hair and body, she made sure to get rid of the sweat scent off her body and when she's satisfied that she doesn't stink anymore, she stood up and climb out of the tub, drying her self with a towel and draining the water of the tub.
"Oh and sweetie diner is ready" Konan said leaving the room.
"Dinner?" Sakura thought looking out her window seeing that it was already night, "wow I must have been training longer than I thought."
She went to her walk in closet and grab a green Pj's, she put it on before leaving her room and going downstairs towards the kitchen.
When she reach the kitchen, she saw all the Akatsuki members except for Orochimaru, and she saw someone she never thought she would see again.
"ITACHI?" Sakura ask her eyes wide as a dinner plates and her jaw nearly touching the floor.
"Close your mouth, Hime-chan" Itachi said without any emotion.
"Why are you here?" Sakura ask confuse.
"He's the new member of the Akatsuki and he's going to be Kisame's partner" Nagato said sipping his tea.
"Umm...ok" Sakura said, she wanted to ask what happen to Sasuke and Naruto, and why on earth did Itachi join an S-rank criminal organization comprised of S-rank missing-nins.
"My Otōto and the kyūby vessel are fine" Itachi answered her unask question.
Sakura nodded looking at him in the eyes, his onyx eyes reminded her of Sasuke's eyes, she stare at him trying to read his emotion.
"He has the same eyes I had before I was found by Nagato and Konan" Sakura thought.
"Where's the creep Orochimaru?" She ask sitting down on her father's right side, Konan was sitting in Nagato's left side, Itachi was sitting next to her, Kisame next to him, Sasori next to Sakura, Kakuzu next to him, and Zetsu was sitting next to Kisame.
"He left the Akatsuki" Sasori said bitterly.
"Why?" Sakura ask taking a bite of her food.
"He tried to take my body for his new vessel" Itachi answer.
"Oh" was the only thing Sakura said before eating again.
"Itachi" Nagato said.
Itachi look at him "Hai?."
"Your going to train Sakura with Sharingan and Mangekyō Sharingan starting tomorrow" Nagato ordered.
Itachi blink and nodded.
