(Here small update and…*sigh*…haven't I denied the ownership of Naruto enough yet?)

Tsunade looked up at Ino or rather Sasori's newest form with horrified surprise mouthing to word "how?" Sasori through Ino grinned letting go off the scalpel releasing his hold on to Sakura. Sakura's hand held a healing green glow around it as she placed it over her wound. It hurt more then it should've making her believe that Sasori may have poisoned the knife.

Ino back up tugging her bloody gore covered shirt down, Sasori had no concerns of modesty openly grinning as he revealed her chest. Coming from inside the half puppet they assumed the gore was from that body not her own, that's why they didn't really notice the bright red splash of blood over the center chest part of Ino's cloths. Sasori revealed an open hole over where Ino's heart should've been and in its place a scroll Sakura recognized to be what they transferred Sasori into. "She froze after reviving Kakuzu stupid girl really, he simply grabbed the nearest beating heart but I'm an opportunist my body was on its last limbs and I still need her so I transferred myself into this," Sasori explained gesturing to Ino as this, "but fear not I said I still need her so her chakra is perfectly stored with me as well she wasn't that difficult to subjugate."

"Monster," Tsunade said standing up, she didn't know what to do feeling trapped only thing she was sure of she had to make the puppet master pay. Her thoughts where interrupted as Sakura coughed up blood and slumped to her side. "Sakura?" Tsunade cried out grabbing Sakura and laying her down examining her wound.

Ino held a cruel smirk as she looked down on the pair "we'll lets see if your as good as a healer as my grandmother she managed to heal this critical wound, I stabbed her in the liver an especially difficult place to heal if not impossible take care and I'll be seeing you again," Sasori said through her voice. With that she turned away, grabbed a cloak to cover herself with before strolling out of the hospital.

Tsunade glanced back wanting to stop Sasori before he could do any more damage but Sakura's bloody cough returned her attention back to her student. Tsunade hoped that a nin or the border guards caught and stop him but she knew that was unlikely. She was torn unable to decide what to do, but Sakura's fading condition decided for her. Tsunade put Sasori out of her mind as she decided heal Sakura, examining her wounds she really needed to place all her power into it or Sakura really will die.

Tsunade first pulled the scalpel out of Sakura using her healing jutsu, next she pulled out a second needle of pink fluid before administering it to her neutralizing any poisons Sasori may have used. With the basic first aid complete Tsunade decided to now use the powers that gave her the rank of a Kage. Tsunade closed her eyes as she made a hand seal, she held her hands in place till a glowing tattoo appeared on her forehead. Tsunade quietly whispered to the unconscious Sakura telling her, "don't worry this shouldn't take any more then a week or two off your life span," before placing her hands on Sakura's wound.

Sakura later awoke, she grimaced with the memory of her wound but touching her stomach she found that it was gone. She turned over to see Tsunade with her back to her. Sakura reached out to Tsunade but let out a shocked gasp seeing her sensei's arm withered and wrinkled. Tsunade reached for the ruined scrap that used to be her robe covering herself with it. She didn't turn to face Sakura hiding her face behind her long blond hair as she mumbled, "your alright I'm glade…"

Sakura turned her head to examine her surroundings, she was still in the same hallway she was in before but all of Sasori's puppets and his former body lied still tossed about on the floor. "Where…where is Ino?" Sakura asked.

"Ino's gone he took her with him," Tsunade answered.

In a village not far outside of Konoha, they had yet to hear of the emergency declared over there. A small blond girl sat in a tavern there, she wrapped herself in a cloak hiding most of her form view but it was still obvious she had a beautiful figure. She was talking to someone who looked like a traveling merchant who was saying "ya don't worry about cost I'd just be glade to have some company on the road, but you sure you want to come the dessert isn't really a good place for a young lady."

The blond girl grinned saying, "don't worry believe it or not I was actually born in suna."

(Ya after posting my last chapter I had forgotten how damaged and unusable Kakuzu was made from Naruto's final attack I'd hate to think if I've damaged the story by it but I plan to write a Kakuzu fan fic following this story to rectify this later. So please review not only do I love them but their very helpful towards improving the quality of my writings, and any beta's or people who know of any beta's please send them my way *or me their way*)
