Ok, this is my first fanfiction, so please be nice and reveiw. It's a work in progress. First a few notes.

1- This takes place right before Naruto get back from his training.

2- Sakura is a whole lot stronger than before.

3-Sakura is 15, along with the rookie nine. Gai's team is 16 and beacuse i'm not sure how old all the Akatsuki is their all 17, exept Konan and Pain are 20.

4- Also, I know this suck's but im sorry to say that Hidan, Zetsu and Kakuzu are all dead. I apoligize but I didn't want to make them to OC. I am only on episode 189 (I think) so I don't really know how those 3 act. Sorry.

New Summary: Sakura has left Konoha to join the Akatsuki in an attempt to somehow save Naruto's life. But as she discovers things her village kept from her. Will her previous bonds be severed? Will new bond's be made? Will feelings for a certain Uchiha devolop?

Disclaimer:I do not own Naruto... yet.

So without further explainations and rambling here's the story.

The full moon hung over Konoha, illuminating everything below it. The sound of night life was the only sound that could be heard. A gentle breeze ran through the village, taking leaf's with it.

Haruno Sakura sighed aloud as she stared at the peaceful village, her village, from her balcony. She watched with a small smile as the leaves danced around her, she placed her hand out, with her palm facing up, and almost immediately a leaf landed in it, as if bidding her farewell.

She was, after all, leaving. Fifteen year old Haruno Sakura was about to leave on a mission that could determine the fate of her village and friend's life's.

Her mission was to infiltrate the Akatsuki.

No one knew about her mission, not even her shishou. It wasn't an official mission, no one had assigned her to this mission. Sakura had decided to join the Akatsuki in hopes of helping her village and best friend, Uzumaki Naruto, and she thought it be best if everyone believe it was for real.

Everyone, including Naruto.

She knew he would probably be devastated that she left and fell obligated to save her. That was just Naruto or, at least, the Naruto she once knew. She hadn't seen him since he left with Jiraiya, one of the legandary Sannin, two years ago for training. He would return one week and three day's from now.

She had decided to leave before he returned.

Sakura was now the strongest kunoichi that Konoha had and she was in every bingo book. Tsunade took great pride in her apprentice, that had surpassed her long ago.

Sakura scanned over all the items she had gathered together while she was reminiscing. She had a small, light, black pack packed with three sets of identical clothing, like the one she was wearing now, two scrolls, one with weapons and the other with food, a water cantine and money pouch.

Sakura rechecked everything she pack, realizing she forgot something. Her jade eyes quickly scanned her eyes for the item she was looking for. She smiled as she spotted it beside her bed. Walking over she picked the picture frame up and pulled out the picture.

Team seven's picture. It had everyone in it, Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi, Uzumaki Naruto and herself. She smiled as she stared at the picture in her hand.

Her right hand, the one not holding her picture, became engulfed in green chakra. She gently placed her hand over the picture and within seconds it became engulfed in green chakra. After a few minutes the chakra began to dissipate.

Placing the picture down on her bed she bought out a kunai and slowly let it descend on the picture. When it was about an inch away from the picture it met a green barrier which repelled the kunai.

Satisfied, she folded the picture and placed it in her kunai holster, that was strapped to her right leg. Picking up her, now packed, backpack she slung it over her shoulder and walked back out to her balcony. Closing the door that led to it, she jumped down and landed gracefully on the ground.

Taking the same path that her ex-teammate, Sasuke, had taken when leaving she walked silently out of the village, keeping her chakra masked. No one tried to stop her, as she had Sasuke, no one could, even if they tried. The only one that might have a chance at stopping her was Naruto and he was miles from here.

Once safely out of the village she began to jump through the trees as silently, stealthily and fast as she could. She knew that it would be about eight hours, at the minimum, to get out of Konohagakue before someone would find out that her apartment was empty.

Sakura didn't have to worry about her parent's, they died half a year ago. They had been sent out on a mission when their team was attacked. She could still remember what it had happened, to the very last detail.

Flashback

Sakura moaned as she tiredly began to walk to another patients room. Tsunade was working her to the bone, when she had agreed to help out overtime she didn't think it meant for two whole days, without rest and nonstop healing.

Sure, Sakura could take the pressure and had enough chakra to go for another week but that didn't mean she wanted to be here for two days. Yes, Sakura loved her job but that didn't mean she didn't have other plans sometimes.

Walking into the room Sakura quickly healed the patient, while talking to him and getting to know a little bit about him, a smile on her face as they talked. Sakura had found out that if patients felt comfortable while you were healing them it went a lot faster and smoother. (Ok, not sure if that's true.)

Sakura had finished healing the man, Koishi, and was stepping outside of his room when she heard someone running, Sakura was about to chastise whoever was running through the halls at such a late hour when she realized it was Shizune.

"Sakura!" Shizune yelled as she halted in front of her, panting she tried to caught her breath. Giving her time to caught her breath Sakura patiently waited for her to continue. "You're parents... they... returned..."Shizune said as she tried to catch her breath.

Sakura's eyes widened, her parents, her heart began to race as she stood rooted to the spot, fear slowly consuming her. "Tsunade... needs you... in the... emergency room." She finished, still panting heavily, as she whiped her forhead free of sweat, not wanting to tell Sakura about their conditions.

Sakura nodded numbly as she shot forward, running as fast as she could with chakra enhanced speed. It took her thirty second to get their, something that would normally take ten minutes, to get to the emergancy room. Bursting through the emergency room doors she was unable to take another step.

Her father was covered with a white blanket, that was covered in blood, signifying that he was dead. Her mother was telling Tsunade something that Sakura couldn't hear, due to the panic that rushed through her entire body.

Tsunade turned to look at her, her eyes filled with sorrow. Sakura slowly walked over to her mother, her entire body felt numb. "Sakura-chan." Her mothers soft voice called to her.

Sakura raised her hand's over her one of mothers more sever wounds, and said shakily, "D-don't tr-try to talk u-until y-you're healed." Her mother smiled sadly at her as she grabbed her daughters hand's and held them in her own.

"There's nothing you can do, Sakura-chan, I've been poisoned." She said softly, she continued sadly. "Threir's no antidote."

Sakura's eye's widened as tears welled up in here eyes. Sakura's head hung as she stared at the floor, tear's falling down her cheeks, her bang's covering her eyes. "Who did this to you?" She asked as she bit her lip.

"That doesn't matter." Sakura's mother said with a small smile, she didn't want to break her daughters heart with who did it. It would be hard enough on her for her to lose both her parent's.

"Please, I need to know." Sakura begged, her head still hung.

She closed her eyes in defeat, and with her last breath spoke, "Uchiha... Sasuke..." She trailed off as her body went limp and the life left her eyes.

Sakura entire body went numb, she began to tremble as she held onto her mothers hand and cried. Tsunade came over and put and arm around her sholder trying desperately to calm her, they stayed like that for hours until Sakura was calm enough to be walked home.

End Flashback

Sakura still couldn't believe that he had been the one to kill them. Had he not taken enough from her life?

Sakura shook her head and focused on what she was doing right now. This was not the time to dwell on the past, she had a mission and she had to focus on that and that alone. Pushing more chakra to her feet she jumped to another branch, masking her chakra perfectly while covering her trail.

It would take her eight hours if she wanted to get to Suna, a trip that would normally take three days. Sakura suddenly stopped as she sensed a group of ANBU headed her way, she turned to her right and shot forward hiding behind a tree in the shadows.

The sound of feet hitting tree branches sounded below her, quickly going past her. Sakura waited until she couldn't sense their presence any longer until she stepped out of the shadows. She continued on her way, moving as fast as she could.

Thank's for reading and please reveiw. Any information on Akatsuki would also be appreciated.
