Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto!


Chapter 1: Leaving

It was finally happening. She was leaving the land of Konoha to find Sasuke. She was gonna bring him back no matter what happened. But she was leaving alone, without Naruto or Kakashi.

She had grown a lot since Sasuke left, from a weak genin, to a jounin that was the highest-ranking Anbu Captain. Then she was 12 but now she was 20 years old. Naruto had grown more than her though, as now he was also an Anbu Captain and in a few years, he would become the Sixth Hokage.

But now, as she started to step outside the village, she knew all the people she was leaving behind. Naruto, Kakashi, Ino, Tsunade, and other friends she would leave behind to find Sasuke and save him. It was harder than she thought leaving the village. But, it was even harder writing and leaving that letter to explain everything.

She finally started down the path that lead away from the Hidden Leaf Village. She wondered where Sasuke was. She hoped he hadn't forgotten about Team 7 and his best friends. She sighed as she took one long, last look at her home. She would become a missing-nin and they would send tracker ninjas to bring her back.

She couldn't have them following her. She silently gathered chakra in her hands. She clenched her fist and slammed them into the ground, creating a huge rocky wall to rise up and surround her.

She quickly jumped onto a tree limb and started jumping from limb to limb towards the next town.


Naruto came through the Hokage's door. "Has anyone seen, Sakura-chan?" He asked hopefully, rolling his thumbs around one another. Tsunade had her face in her hands and Kakashi-senpai was reading a slip of paper.

"Oh, Naruto…" Tsunade still had her face covered by her hands.

"She left…" Tsunade started crying.

"On a mission?" Naruto asked.

"Don't be stupid, Naruto. She left to go save Sasuke alone!" Tsunade scowled as she glared at him. Naruto stood in the middle of the room in complete utter shock. ' Why would she leave alone to go find Sasuke!?'

" Here." Kakashi handed him a piece of paper. Naruto read the piece off paper with trembling hands.

"Dear friends,

I'm leaving alone for Sasuke. Don't worry about me. Do not follow me, please. Naruto, I couldn't wait any longer. The guilt was killing me. Please forgive me, Naruto. I hope to see you guys soon.

Your Friend,

Sakura Haruno"

"This can't be happening." Naruto whispered quietly. Tsunade cried even more and Hokages never cried. Or so he had heard.

" I'm afraid it is. But we are going to go find her in the meantime." Kakashi said.

"We will?" Naruto asked, surprised. The only way he was going to leave was if Kakashi was with him. If remaining members had to save the rest of Team 7, so be it.

"You will lead a group of four more Anbu members to find her. Naruto, you'll be leading the search party. I think I can trust our future Hokage to find Sakura and Sasuke and bring them back." Tsunade spoke up to him.

"I already know who to choose, Tsunade-sama. I want Kakashi, Neji, Rock Lee, and Shikamaru to come with me." Naruto said shaking with excitement.

"So be it… Leave by tonight if you can. Bring those two back. We need them here for the village." Tsunade smiled slightly.


Sakura walked quietly through the town. It was nice to get out of Konoha, she had to admit. She noticed the town was growing quiet even though it early afternoon. Her suspicion was rising on whether to stay in this village, so she ran through the town and onto the trail.

She vanished into the forest to hide before anyone could see her. She sat against the trunk of the tree and she felt a little wet liquid drop on her nose. She looked up and saw it raining. 'Great, just what I need. Rain.'

She needed a break. She walked all night long to get to that town just to find out that she probably wasn't safe there. She needed to sleep here if she wanted to get to the Country of Sound with full strength. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes, trying to listen to the birds quietly chirping. However, she heard nothing as she finally dozed off into a deep slumber.


"So, Itachi-san, who is this Kunochi?" the man asked quietly to his partner as they watched the pink haired girl sleep. Itachi stayed quiet as usual. He usually never answered his partner, being his cold, mysterious self.

"Will she help us with capturing the Kyuubi?" The man smirked.

"Yes." Itachi said coldly. "Use your sword to take her chakra, so she can't escape. We need this girl to help us, Kisame." Kisame walked toward the sleeping girl. He took his sword and sliced the air in front of her.

The girl whimpered when the sword ate her chakra. Her blue chakra was seen flowing into the sword from her. She woke up for a split second, but she dozed off.

"Taken care of." Kisame smiled darkly.
