Ino's Pov
We enter the leaf village and are shocked at what we see we look to see bodies everywhere some are ninja of the leaf others are of the sand but the bodies are mostly that of the villagers I hear someone crying we rush forward to find a young woman trapped underneath some rocks we quickly remove the rocks and me and sakura go to work healing her we stop after a couple of seconds and look up at naruto
"I'm not going to make it am I" we look at the woman and shake our heads
"I'm sorry there is to much damage" the woman nods and begins to cry we can tell she is in pain she slowly points at naruto
"Please come here" naruto goes over to the woman
"Please stop the pain I beg you please end the pain" naruto backs up a little
"No I can't do that please don't ask me to do that" the woman begs naruto over and over naruto finally pulls out a kunai and begins to cry
"Get away from us" I look at naruto and go towards him
"Naruto don't" he suddenly turns around
"LEAVE" he continues to cry a we decide to leave we go around the corner and listen in
"I'm going to help you ok just close your eyes" I assume the woman does we then hear a blade pierce skin and hear the girl yelp after a couple seconds naruto comes over to us and hugs me tightly I just hug him back and try to comfort him
"Why did this happen" I don't answer him I just hug him tighter after a couple minutes he stops crying and I release him
"Naruto you did what you had to do" naruto looks at me and nods
"Thanks ino that helps " I nod and we continue to try to find our friends we look around for a while when we suddenly see kakashi surrounded by sand ninja naruto looks at all of us including gaara and his siblings and we all are thinking the same thing
"Pay back time" we all nod and surround the sand ninja that are surrounding kakashi and wait for naruto's signal a sand ninja attacks kakashi as soon as that happens naruto gives the signal and we ambush them taking all but one out the last ninja looks over at all of us as we begin to head towards him and begins to shake in fear
"Please mercy" suddenly sasuke is on him with his hand through the sand ninja's chest
"Not on your life" we look at kakashi who just eye smiles
"Hey guys" we smile back naruto then tackles his dad wit a hug and laughs
"Thank god your all right" kakashi eye smiles
"You two kiddo" we all smile at this moment and all head towards the center of the village where we meet our fellow ninjas kakashi gets everyone's attention
"Has anyone seen or heard from the hokage" everyone shakes there head
"Ok we all need to start a search for the hokage we will split into four groups group one will take the north team two the south team three the east and my team will search the west go" everyone splits up and searches for the hokage for an hour when we see a flare over the stadium signaling that they found the hokage we all rush over
"Where is the hokage" Our fellow ninja just put there head down and we know that the hokage is dead naruto sniffs the air and rushes over to the hokage's body much to everyone's surprise
"What the hell are you doing get away from the hokage's body you demon" a ninja grabs naruto and yanks him away from the hokage's fallen form kakashi appears behind the man and puts a hand on his shoulder and turns him around
"Get your hands off my boy" he then punches the man in the face
"There is a reason why he is sniffing the air you idiot he is a lot like kiba and his family he can track who ever did this by there scent" the man just glares a kakashi but nods
"Well dad there is one problem the person who did this reeks of snake" I gasp at this
"Like the guy in the forest" naruto nods
"Wait did you say someone who smelled like a snake" naruto looks over to the man who got jaw jacked by kakashi and nods
"So it was that snake bitch anko"Naruto tackles the man to the ground an d puts a kunai to the man throat
"Take it back now" the man gulps
"OK I take it back" naruto gets off the man suddenly anko appears next to kakashi
"Some one mention my name" naruto goes over to his mom and gives her a hug which she returns naruto then goes back to the hokage's body
"Well as I was saying the person that did this smells reeks of snake but not like my mom hers is much different" everyone nods and anko becomes very angry
"And like ino said it is like the man we faced in the forest" anko perks up at this
"Wait you meet this guy in the forest" me naruto sasuke and sakura nod
"Yeah we meet the guy in the forest but we beat him" anko sighs a sigh of relief at this
"But not before his bit me and sasuke on the neck" anko suddenly rushes over to naruto and checks his neck
"Where" naruto shows her when she sees nohing she goes over to sasuke
"Where did he bite you "sasuke shows her she looks and gasps
"No it cant be" everyone looks at her
"I know who killed the hokage but you are not going to like the answer" we all look at her she sighs
"It was Orochimaru" everyone gasps at this
"I thought he died a long time ago but it seems he is still alive and is still putting his curse mark on people sasuke is living proof" everyone looks at sasuke and see's the so called curse mark
"Wait you mean that's why I can do this" he suddenly covers himself with black flames making everyone gasp
"Yes that is why you can do that but sasuke there is a side effect to the curse mark you slowly lose yourself to the darkness of it ,it gives you great strength but at the cost of your sanity so please restrain yourself from using it" sasuke nods and deactivates his curse mark
"Guys orochimaru is actually close to the village" everyone looks at naruto
"Wait he is still close" naruto nods and anko takes off
"Follow her she will need back up" naruto and kakashi take after anko me sakura and sasuke follow them
30 min later
We catch up with everyone and look to see them battling a man who was pale white and had black hair his eyes are what really got my attention they looked like a snakes
"Ino snap out of it we need to help them" I look over to sasuke and nod we jump in and begin to attack the man but everyones attacks are dodged and none of them hit him suddenly sasuke and anko fall to the ground and begin to scream in pain sakura and I go over to sasuke while kakashi and naruto go over to anko
"Mom whats wrong" she just continues screaming the man then begins to laugh
"It's useless kid she is under my control as long as that curse mark Is on her neck I can do whatever I want to her especially cause her pain" naruto looks at the man
"You let her go" he disappears and reappears next to the man much to his surprise naruto then kicks the man in the head
"I said let her go" he then begins to disappear and reappear infront of the man and continues hitting the man over and over sasuke then begins to move much to my surprise and begins to stand up I look to see his sharingan activated the man looks over and is shocked at what he sees but is then kicked into a tree naruto goes for another attack but is kicked hard in the face and sent flying
"NARUTO" sasuke looks at the man
"You bastard I will kill you" he suddenly activates his curse mark and charges the man and hitting him faster than naruto did suddenly the man kicks sasuke in the gut and sasuke falls to the ground
"I wonder if you fight like this when the boy gets hurt I wonder how you will fight when the pink headed girl gets hurt" sasuke goes wide eyed the man suddenly disappears and reappears next to sakura and kicks her in the gut and then kicks her in the face causing her nose to bleed I try to stop him but he sends me a glare that paralyzes me somehow
"NOOO" sasuke then rushes towards the man and begins to pumble him to the ground even when he is down sasuke continues to send jutsu after jutsu and kunai after kunai at the man after a couple minutes he stops and falls to his knees exhausted but he gets up and goes over to sakura who is unconscious
"Sakura please wake up" she doesn't move at all sasuke then becomes angry and the flames begin to spread over his body until he is nearly completely cover in flames
"No sasuke you must not push the curse mark" we all look over at anko who is still on the ground squirming in pain
"Shut up anko I will kill him for what he has done to sakura" suddenly we hear laughing we look over to see orochimaru standing there without a scratch on him with the exception of his severally burnt arms which I just now noticed
"Nice try sasuke but it will take more than that to take down me" sasuke then falls to his knees I know he is exhausted he then deactivates his curse mark but not his sharingan sasuke just stares at orochimaru with hatred
"Ah I see your trying to use genjutsu on me huh it wont work" sasuke deactivates his sharingan but continues to glare at orochimaru who crouches down to meet sasuke at eye level
"Let me tell you a little secret you brother itachi Is much more powerful than you with that sharingan and in jutsu now take what I have just told you and think of this what if he got a hold of your precious sakura" sasuke goes wide eyed at this while orochimaru just smiles
"If you wish boy I can train you but you will have to give yourself to me you must come to me if you want to train good luck sasuke until we meet again" the man disappears and anko stops squirming with pain and I break out of my trance sasuke then faints
I run over to sasuke and begin to heal his wounds I then go over to naruto and sakura and do the same and wait for them to wake up after a couple minutes they wake up and we all head towards the leaf village
Nighttime
SAKURAS POV
It has been several hours since the fight with orochimaru and ino told me what orochimaru told sasuke and I went on a search for him I finally spot him after several hours searching and go over to him
"Sasuke where have you been ive been looking for you everywhere" sasuke stops in his tracks I then notice the pack on his back
"Sasuke what's going on" he turns around and looks me in the eyes
"I'm sorry sakura but im leaving to train with orochimaru" I gasp at this
"No sasuke no you can't" he just looks at the ground
"Im sorry sakura but I have to for you I have to become stronger than itachi I have to protect you from him" I just stare at him
"Than im coming with you" he shakes his head
"No sakura you cant" I begin to cry
"Please sasuke stay with me and the others we will help you get stronger we will help you defeat itachi just please don't leave me" sasuke then disappears and reappears behind me
"I'm sorry sakura but I have to thank you though these past few months have been the happiest of my life I will miss you but I have to do this for you" I begin to cry I turn around and kiss him on the lips knowing this would probably be the last time I would be able to do so I then feel something hit my head and begin to slip in and out of consciousness
"Im sorry sakura I cant risk you following me" he then sets me down on a near by bench and covers me with a blanket he had packed in his pack and leaves I begin to cry and fall into a sleep
That was the start of everything this was the point that everything began to change
