Sakura knew exactly when her clone dismissed itself. It's memories returned to her in a flash and her head snapped up so fast Inner was surprised she didn't break her neck.

'Careful Outer, shannaro!' Sakura was too focused on what she had learnt to listen to Inner. It had been weeks since she had been transported to wherever she was and she had started to fear that she may have made a mistake following the mysterious ranger known as Strider. However according to her clone's memories whoever the man had been waiting for had arrived.

The only thought running through her mind was 'Got to go see.' this may not be the smartest idea ever but Sakura's curiosity got the best of her.

She leaped out of the tree she had been in and sprinted off to the village. She jumped across rooftops as she made her way over to the Inn. It was past midnight and the kunoichi felt grateful the she could use chakra to enhance her sight.

She arrived at the the Inn and made sure that she had her cloak on and her hood up before she snuck inside.

The level of volume inside of the building would of had past hers eardrums exploding. Even though she was teammates with Naruto Uzumaki who was known for being... unpredictable and loud and- must she really go on? The point was even with her being around things and people that made a whole bunch of noise her sensitive hearing meant that she was met with eternal headaches. Thanks to her medical chakra she could numb the headache but she was beginning to accept the migraines.

Thankfully, once the war had started the pinkette had begun to get used to never-ending earthquakes and explosions which helped her get used to noises so loud you would expect anyone in close proximity to whatever was causing the sound to go completely death. It sounds complicated when you word it in such a way but Sakura didn't have time to get lost in her musings as she tried to make her way through the crowded room and up the stairs.

She silently crept up the stairs and along the hallway to the strangers room.

'Maybe it would of been better to just peep through his window. Shannaro!'

'And you didn't care to share your thoughts before I snuck through a crowded bar?' Sakura deadpanned.

'Hehe... oops?' The medic nin rolled her eyes with an exasperated sigh.

'Honestly, how are we one and the same?'

'We're not exactly the same we're just.. the same but different! Shannaro!'

'That doesn't even make sense.'

'Just focus on what you're doing!' Sakura shook her head before climbing up the wall and onto the ceiling.

'How on Earth am I supposed to get inside?'

'I don't know! Figure it out, you're a kunoichi, shannnaro!'

Taking a deep breath, the pinkette tried to come up with ways to sneak into the stranger's room. She could create a shadow clone and have the clone henge into a fly or something and then she could use the substitution jutsu to switch places with her clone. It was certainly the best idea she had but she would have to grasp her surroundings quickly once the jutsu activates, lest she blow her cover.

Deciding it was her best chance, the pinkette created a shadow clone. The clone henged into a fly and flew down from the ceiling. the clone then squeezed through the crack of the door to the stranger's room and snuck inside.

Her clone flared it's chakra slightly when it was in position. Sakura took a deep breath before reaching out to her clone with her chakra and running through the hand sign required for the substitution jutsu.

Tiger-Boar-Ox-Snake-Dog

As her hands formed the final seal she disappeared and reappeared in the strangers room. Only her training as a shinobi stopped her from screeching as she had to send chakra to her hands and feet so she wouldn't fall. She shifted, she was hanging upside down on the ceiling of the room which was admittedly not as high as she thought it would be.

'We need to conceal ourselves better! Shannaro!' The shadows of the room hid her well however if someone in the room chose to look up they would no doubt see her- unless they were blind. The kunoichi cast a genjutsu over herself, making her invisible to anybody other then herself. She was naturally a genjutsu type and she had gotten Kurenai to teach her a few things when she was training under Tsunade.

Her brows furrowed. She wondered how they were faring.. hopefully they were all ok.

"Dang it! Sakura-chan where are you?" Naruto grit his teeth as he and Sasuke raced towards Madara Uchiha. Sasuke sent a chidori to the long haired male's chest. Madara dodged by jumping over his head before kicking the younger Uchiha in the back. Sasuke was sent flying off and into a group of white Zetsus.

They hadn't seen Sakura since they got separated and Naruto knew it wasn't the right time to be worrying about the location of his pink haired teammate but how could he not? They were in the middle of a war and he had no idea where she was? For all he knew she could be- she could be..

The blonde shook his head as he dodged in and out of Madara's blows. He had to focus, now wasn't the time for him to get distracted. He jumped back just as Sasuke joined back in on the fight.

"Naruto, now!" The cerulean eyed boy created a dozen shadow clones, all of who charged at the older Uchiha, attempting to hold him down. Of course this didn't work and Madara disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"What!" Naruto's jaw dropped to the floor.

"It was a clone Dobe."

"What! B-bu-but we nearly had him!"

"Clearly not."

"Shut up Teme!" Naruto yelled. "We need to go and find Sakura-chan and Kakashi-sensei!"

"Hn." Naruto growled at the classic Uchiha response.

"Why? If they're worth the title of shinobi then they can survive on their own."

"We're injured and I don't know where Kakashi-sensei or Sakura-chan are, if we find Sakura-chan then she can heal your leg!" Sasuke's leg had been impaled by a large, sharp rock whilst they were fighting against Madara. The teen had pulled it out so it wouldn't hinder him whilst he was fighting but he was loosing a bunch of blood and Naruto had noticed how his face was paler then usual.

"I'm fine Dobe."

"We should at least go find them! I mean- what if they're in trouble!"

The argument ended with Naruto dragging Sasuke back to where the medical tents were set up. As they were searching for Sakura, Naruto spotted a familiar redhead.

"Hey Gaara! Do you know where Sakura-chan is?" The blonde asked.

The Kazekage turned to look at the Uzumaki. "No."

The blonde groaned. "What about Kakashi-sensei, have ya seen him?"

"No."

"Do you know where Baachan is?"

"I believe she is in her tent." Naruto thanked the redhead before grabbing Sasuke and rushing to Tsunade's tent. Hopefully the woman knew where Sakura and Kakashi were.

They entered the tent and were greeted by the sight of Tsunade berating a familiar silver haired man.

"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto exclaimed. The man looked up at him and gave the blonde a closed eyed smile.

"Oh Naruto, hello. I haven't seen you in a while."

"Hn."

"Hello to you too Sasuke." The man smiled. "Hmm.. where's Sakura?"

"We don't know, we thought that you'd know.." Tsunade's gaze snapped to Naruto.

"What do you mean you don't know where Sakura is?" She growled.

"Me and Sasuke haven't seen her since we got separated." Tsunade frowned at his words. What if Sakura was in trouble? What if the pinkette was injured? What if she-

"Hmm, I believe she was with team 10 and 8 but I'm not sure where she is now.." Kakashi said.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go find them! Dattebayo!"
