An explosion sounded somewhere in the distance, but Sakura was more concerned with the one falling from the sky right in front of her. This must be the end she thought as she closed her eyes. She was too tired and had used up too much chakra and she was sure she was going to die. The blast came but instead of the pain she expected there was a tugging sensation. A sensation that told her she was very much NOT dead. She opened her eyes, "Shisho?"

The hokage looked down at her, "You're dying yet, Sakura. I thought I'd taught you better than that. Besides I have something I need you to do." Tsunade stopped and pulled her down behind a rock where Naruto was already waiting.

"Baa-chan, I need to get back to the fighting. We're losing. They need me and Kuarma."

Tsunade dismissed Naruto's whining. "Listen to me you two," she commanded tiredly, "There is no way that we are going to win this."

"Baa-chan-" She silenced Naruto with a glare.

"So I have something I need you to do."

"Shisho, I'm practically out of chakra. I am useless. I don't think that there is anything I can do." Sakura dispared.

"I can give her some of my chakra, baa-chan," Naruto volunteered.

"Both of you, quiet!" Tsunade yelled, her roar drowned out by another explosion. "I am going to release my yin seal and send the two of you back in time." The two young ninja starred at her. "Now that I finally have you silent I will explain as much as I can. This is a forbidden technique that was sealed by the first hokage. I need you two to go back and pick a time together and then prevent this," she gestured to the ongoing war.

Naruto turned stony any hint of grin gone from his face. He grabbed Sakura's hand, "When we first meet Kakashi?"

Sakura closed her fingers around his, "When we first meet Kakashi," she agreed.

Tsunade nodded as another explosion shook the ground. She tiredly surveyed the scene, "Good, according the scroll you will be engulfed in darkness and then you will be transported to the time you think about." She reached out and hugged Sakura, "Both of you be safe and change the world." The sounds of explosions were getting closer as the hokage started the complex sequence of seals.

A high pitched sound from above caused Sakura to look up. It's really the end this time she thought as the bomb came whizzing down. In the split second before the bomb hit Tsunade completed her last seal and Naruto's hand was ripped from Sakura's and then there was darkness.

Sakura looked around. She was alone. She needed to think about the first time she met Kakashi., when team 7 first go together. She needed to do like her shisho asked and change the world. And that was the when she knew that she needed to go back further than what she and Naruto had agreed on. What had caused Sasuke to leave? What had caused an entire clan to die out leaving Konoha crippled? The Uchiha massacre. If she could stop it then maybe there would be hope for the clan.

She remembered exactly where she was that day. She remembered seeing Danzo kill Shisui as little girl out by the playground. Of course she hadn't realized the significance of it till years later when the massacre was explained to her and Naruto. Sakura did the best thing she could and though of the day that she was playing out by the hokage building. She felt a tug behind her navel and with that she was pulled back into the past.
