Sakura was tired. Tired of always being in her teammates way.

Well, that probably wasn't true anymore since Sasuke left. A lot of things had changed in the first two years. After he'd been gone for five, things were extremely different. But that voice was still in the back of her head.

"You're weak...You're weak."

Never once was she strong. And when she was finally recognized in all the nation's as the strongest ninja, she only heard the voice saying "you're weak" in her head still, driving her harder than she ever drove herself before. It scared all of her friends and her recently-realized cousins, but she had to.

She felt it was her fault--that her clan in Suna was almost destroyed, that she allowed Orochimaru to seal the soul inside her and take her memories. That her adoptive parents had died in the battle for Konoha while they tried to protect her after all the things she did and said.

"Hey, Sakura!" Naruto yelled, catching up to his pink-haired friend. He had come to terms with himself and now only thought of her as a sister. "Tsunade-baachan's too plastered to train today and Kakashi's on a mission. So Hinata-chan and I were wondering if you wanted to go to Ichiraku's with us. We haven't been with you lately. Do you know when your cousins are visiting from Suna and bringing Lee and the kids?"

"Temari-neechan said she and Lee are going to come in a few months with Hiro, Junko and Gai. Gaara-niichan said he may be here in the next week, but no Sara or Riku-chibi. Kankurou just plain doesn't want to come. He likes his honey-moon very much," Sakura replied. Yes, Temari married Lee and had three kids--one of which had to be named after Lee's "awesome sensei"--and the Sand Siblings were her cousins. Sai was too--the last of the clan, besides her and her older brother. Or so she always believed.

"So, when's Sai coming back from his mission?" Naruto asked.

Sakura shrugged. "Soon I hope. Anyways, I'm going to pass on the ramen. Today I can actually train on my own. I'll see you later, okay?"

She didn't wait for the reply as she walked off to a random clearing deep inside the forest and started to erect several clones to fight. She never liked the dummies anymore--they were too easy. Instead she preferred the simple clones that fought her as they would in actual combat. "Rasuto kekkei genkai: Onsei!" she yelled out. Yes, her clan had a "bloodline inheritance limit" like Byaakugan and Sharingan--for hundreds of years, her clan had been the best of the best. But that all changed when the Akatsuki invaded when she was seven--and on her birthday too.

Suddenly a voice laughed at her and she deactivated her Onsei (it means "voice" or "sound (concept of)" in case you didn't know) and threw a kunai in the direction of the noise. "Show yourself!" she commanded.

"No!" a voice yelled back, reminding her terribly of her brother. He was a traitor--he left her at the edge of their clan-grounds to go with Orochimaru and refused to take her with him. Sakura's brother was so much like Sasuke--even their names. Sasu and Sasuke. Only Sasu was Itachi's age and used to be friends with the elder Uchiha.

"Sasu Rasuto, get your damn ass out here and let me finish off the clan!" Sakura demanded, misplacing the voice. "Even if we all live, you are the only one that will still bear the Rasuto name."

Then Sasuke walked out from behind a tree, just as rain fell upon everything around them. "Well, well, well. Look whose trying to be very brave right now."

The pink-haired kunoichi grit her teeth. Sasuke had run off with a band of S-class criminals and would want to kill her too. But training left her exhausted--still with chakra, just exhausted. "What the hell do you want, Sas-UKE?" she sneered. "If I'm right you've killed Orochimaru?" She watched him smirked and gave his famous two-letter response. "How does it feel to be an uke without a seme to--"

"The fuck? I'm not gay! Nor am I subserviant to anybody!" he yelled back.

"Sasuke-kun!" another voice yelled. This time it was female and familiar. Who was that girl from Sound again? Sarin? No, it didn't start with an S. Kasu? Kari? No. Did it even start with a K? Probably not. "Sasuke-kun, are you okay?" she asked, appearing at his side with the other two Sound-nin from the chuunin exams. Jugo and...Seichi? "Did the bith hurt you?"

"Damn I'm bad with names," Sakura said aloud. "Okay, freeze. You are definitely Jugo and I know who Sas-UKE is," she said, pointing to Sasuke and Jugo both with their "respectful" names. "Is your name...Suigetsu! I came close!" she cheered, kicking her legs up with her arms pumped up. "Here I was thinking it was Seichi. that was one of my cousin's names. Anyways, so you're...Arisa?" she guessed.

"The fuck?" Karin yelled. "Hell no!"

Sakura looked flustered. "Ina? Ren? Akira? Hikari? Hikaru? Hika? Damn, what is it?" a very mad Cherry Blossom screamed.

"Hey, Sakura! I see you!" Naruto yelled from high above on the Tsunade's Mountain-face. "And I see Sai! He's on his way back! Watch this!"

"NANI?" Sakura screamed, seeing Naruto start to swing dangerously on the mountains. "Naruto-kun! Are you trying to get me killed by Hinata-chan? Get your damn ass down here right now safely...Naruto!" she screamed, running towards the mountains with some of her monsterous chakra.

Sasuke looked back at his group and then back at Sakura as he smirked, seeing Karin's pissed face. Then it suddenly disappeared as he watched Sakura backflip on trees all the way up to the mountain top to black-caped figures behind Naruto.

"Give us the kyuubi!" Itachi demanded of Naruto. How the Akatsuki got into Konoha, no one could tell, but there they were. "We want his power!"

"Never!" Naruto yelled, backing up. He had to be careful--with all the rain pouring the rocks had gotten slippery. "How did you guys get it anyways?" he yelled over the thunder.

Kisame shrugged. "Knocked out one guard, the other was sleeping. Go figure."

Just as they were about to advance, Sakura jumped up and blocked Kisame's sword. "Not so fast, fucker. You still have hell to pay for my clan," Sakura yelled, her face illuminated by lightning. "Naruto-kun, run!"

"Sakura? It's okay. I've accepted the terms of our clan's massacre," another hooded figure replied, coming towards the front. "It's nice to see you after so long apart. Imouto."

She froze. "Kabuto-niichan?"

Kabuto and Sasu had been the best of friends. As cousins, the three hung-out a lot. But he died with Orochimaru, didn't he? Sasu left to protect Kabuto, but after he saw what Orochimaru did to her, he left to go with his best friend Itachi instead to defeat Orochimaru.

"Wait, we have the kyuubi and the Rasuto no Tatsujin? ("Last Master") Why don't we take both of their powers?" Deidara interupted.

What they didn't expect was the clap of thunder and bolt of lightning at once, cracking the mountain right before Naruto's feet and causing him to tumble back.

Without even thiking, she did a backflip clearing the mountain and going after Naruto. "Rasuto kekkei genkai: Onsei!" she yelled as she tumbled back with him.

"They say
They don't trust
You, me, we, us
So we'll fall
If we must
Cause it's you, me
And it's all about
It's all about
It's all about us (all about us)
It's all about
All about us (all about us)
There's a thing that they can't touch
'Cause ya know (ah ah)
It's all about us (all about us)
It's all aboutAll about usall about us
We'll run away if we must
'Cause ya know
It's all about us (It's all about us)
It's all about love (It's all about us)
In you I can trust (It's all about us)
It's all about us."

She sang as she tumbled down and landed safely on her feet with Naruto in her arms. Sasuke watched wide-eyed. She had a kekkei genkai? And since when was she a Rasuto? Wasn't the weakling a Haruno?

"Naruto, we have to run," Sakura told him, putting him down and taking his hand as the Akatsuki followed them down the hill. "Come on!"

"Sakura, thank you!" Naruto gasped as they started to run faster than even Sasuke was. That surprised the boy--he knew Naruto would be able to catch his pace someday, but Sakura?

Karin tugged hi shoulder. "Is that the same old teammate you used to have? Her chakra patterns changed--she has immense chaakra now. Almost bottomless."

Sakura looked behind her and saw three or so of the figures starting to break away and catch up with them. While she could still go faster, Naruto couldn't. So she had to stop this.

"Naruto, run back to Hinata-chan. I'll distract them and get them out of the village," Sakura ordered as they started to pass the clearing Sakura left Sasuke and his gang in. "If I have to, I'll go. They'll forget all about you after they have their sights on me. Just go as fast as you can and tell everybody that I love them."

Naruto was scared at how serious it sounded. But he nodded and with a few tears he ran off.

Sakura stopped running and turned. Sasuke watched as she readied for a fight. It was so new to him to see her like this. And if she really did have the chakra Karin said she did, then she certainly wasn't the same weak kunoichi anymore.

Now was the time to test her. The members that broke ahead had caught up.

Sakura took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Sasuke noticed when she opened them they changed from that jade green to an onyx black like his and her hair quickly changed from a damp silvery-pink to raven-black like Sasuke's.

"Not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us
Not gonna get us!
Starting from here, let's make a promise
You and me, let's just be honest
We're gonna run, nothing can stop us
Even the night that falls all around us
Soon there will be laughter and voices
Beyond the clouds over the mountains
We'll run away on roads that are empty
Lights from the airfield shining upon you
Nothing can stop us, not now, I love you
They're not gonna get us,they're not gonna get us
Nothing can stop us, not now, I love you
They're not gonna get us,they're not gonna get us
They're not gonna get us(Not..)
They're not gonna get us, gonna get us, gonna get us..(Not gonna get us)
They're not gonna get us (gonna get us, gonna get us!)
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us, gonna get us.
Not gonna get us
NOT GONNA GET US, GONNA GET US!(Not gonna get us)
Get Us, get us..(Not gonna get us)
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
We'll run away, keep everything simple
Night will come down, our guardian angel
We rush ahead, the crossroads are empty
Our spirits rise, they're not gonna get us
My love for you, always forever
Just you and me, all else is nothing
Not going back, not going back there
They don't understand,
They don't understand us
Not gonna get us, gonna get us, gonna get us (gonna get.. get us.)
Not gonna get us (gonna get.. gonna get..)
Not gonna get us, gonna get us..Not gonna get us
Nothing can stop us, not now, I love you
They're not gonna get us,
they're not gonna get us
Nothing can stop us, not now, I love you
They're not gonna get us,
they're not gonna get usThey're not gonna get us(Not gonna get us)
They're not gonna get us, gonna get us
They're not gonna get us(Not gonna get us)
Not gonna get us, get us
Not gonna get us, get us
Not gonna get us."

Suddenly the figures all got blown back as the sound waves crashed into them. Now she put her hands on the ground and frontflipped, bringing her hands up to reveal giant fans.
