The Shinobi Way
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Author: I read so many Sakura based fanfics and now I want a try at it. This will be my first time at a Naruto fic, so please don't be too harsh on me.
I just finish reading chapter 232 of Naruto so there will be some spoilers.
This follows the battle between Naruto and Sasuke.
Okay, I did some re-editing. I have people reviewing saying that the format doesn't suit that fic so I did some, but not a lot of changes to the story. Hopefully it's better this way. I'm just so use to writing in script form. I think I also got use to writing that way because of reading so many comic.
Anyways, thanks for the comments. I'll try to lean away from writing that way in this fic. You guys are a big help. Please keep the comments coming.
---------------------------------------------------
As the battle rages on, Kakashi speeds his way through the forest, hoping that it wasn't too late. Not knowing to him that his two students were seconds away of killing each other. With Naruto and Sasuke in their most powerful form, both starting to active their most deadliest techniques. The Chidori and the Rasengan.
"Sasuke! This is it." Naruto yelled across the battle field.
Naruto raises his hand and a huge ball of light shone.
"You're right. This will be it." Sasuke said in response showing no emotion, but you could see in his eyes that he hesitated.
Sasuke arm started flickering a blue chakra.
Both headed towards each other in high sped. Inch by inch they closed in the gap between one another. Battle cries can be heard throughout the entire forest. With a explosion of light, the battle ended. High in the sky, could be seen a cloud of smoke where the recent battle was just held. Birds could also be seen flying away from what was once peaceful.
Below the statues of the legendary Hokages was a platform, there stood Tsunade, the recently appointed 5th Hokage. Just witnessing the disturbance upon the forest.
"No...." the Hokage whispered, knowing there was no good outcome to be expected. With the painful aura surrounding the area and the forest's dead silence.
---------------------------------------------------
Back at the battle ground
As the cloud of smoke cleared, it laid a scene that had the most surprising result. Both had transform to their original form, not injured from a blast the should of killed a man two times over. There stood the reason to their answer. A pink haired girl bleeding from the devastating attack from both sides. Shock and confusion was clearly shown from both boys. Sakura stood there between the two, lifeless. After a moment , a smile could be seen.
"Good....I made..I–"but before Sakura could finish, blood appeared at the edge of her lips and dripped down her pale skin.
She slowly falls toward the ground.
Then everything went dark.
"Sakura!" Both screamed her name, one louder than the other.
"Sakura!"
---------------------------------------------------
"Sakura!"
"Hey! Big-Forehead girl!"
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to buy something?" she said in a irritated tone. Tapping her fingers on the counter repeatedly while the other hand supported her head and the elbow laid on the cool surface.
Sakura shook her. Then turn to her right to see a fuming blonde at the counter. It seems that she was staring at the flowers that were in front of her for much too long. Finally, seeing that the girl was done daydreaming, the blonde spoke up.
"Well seeing that your done spacing out, can I help you?" in the friendliest voice she could muster.
"Sorry, I'm finish." said Sakura as she picked up one daisy. She then slowing walk up to the counter.
As Sakura spook those words, Ino knew there was something wrong, not just that she didn't insult her back, but the look on her face. It looked like the young girl hadn't slept for a day or two. Not knowing how to react to the depressing sight in front of her, she just tried to faze it out.
"What, only one? Does that mean Sasuke-kun is out of the hospital?" she squealed as she clamped her hands together and leaned them on her left cheek.
Ino starts becoming very excited, but quickly stopped. It seem like not a good topic to talk about since Sakura was already out the door. Ino looked down and saw a coin flipping from on side to the other until it finally stop.
---------------------------------------------------
Sakura walked down the street to the village's hospital when something suddenly caught her eye. A blonde haired women with pig-tails stood at the exactly spot where she herself just moments ago stood. Where she had told Naruto to promise her that he will bring Sasuke back. And with that stupid grin, he promised. Suddenly the blonde lady spoke about something to another person that interest her greatly.
"So that was the team he prepared for the mission. Hm. Not bad considering what he had to work with and the amount of time that was given. But still I have a bad feeling about this. Even with those five working together, it still seems like I should of appointed a healer of some sort." she informed her young insistent standing beside her.
"But Lady Hokage, there are none train in that field that are available, there's barely any as it is." he spoke panicky.
"Hokage?!" Sakura stood there with wide eyes.
"Well, we'll have to fix that. With the possibility of war and up coming battles, we need to start training more in that field if we are to survive in battle. Their chances in success has dim down far too much because of that reason. I made a special request to aid them in their search, but I have no idea if it made it to them or not. They might not succeed in capturing that Uchiha boy or even worst we might lose one of them." she confirmed with a grim look on her face.
"What? They might ...die." her thoughts racing with pictures of those who had just left a few moments ago. Each one of them with faces full of determination. And with the last imaged being of that of naruto with his wide smile and goofy pose with the thumps up, it was the last straw. She couldn't take any more of those images.
She went up to the Hokage with a face full of determination. She look her straight in the eye.
"Teach me." she spoke in a serious tone.
"Huh?" the Hokage looked down and saw the young girl who disrupt her from her thoughts.
"Don't talk to the Lady Hokage in that tone. What's your name?" he commanded.
"Haruno Sakura." she said quickly without breaking her eye contact with the Hokage.
"So this is the Haruno child." she eyed the small genin.
"Hokage, teach me the techniques in healing immediately. They could be dead right now! Teach me! Please Lady Hokage! Please...please." she frantically poured out.
Tears start falling from Sakura's eyes. Putting her hands up to her face in frustration, she stop pleading instead just remained quiet, only a few sobs here and there can be here . After a few moments pass.
The Hokage finally spoke. "It takes weeks even months to master those techniques. Are you sure you will learn everything that is necessary in time to save them?"
She looked up and saw a very serious expression on the Hokage's face.
Sakura smiled.
"Give me two hours."
