Sakura ran out onto what used to be the training grounds to see it engulfed in flames. Luna swooped down to Sakura, Sakura grabbed onto her tail as she flew passed. Then as quickly as she could on a speeding dragon made her way onto Luna's back. Sakura held tight as Luna spiraled, and swerved to avoid the oncoming fireballs being shot from below.

Sakura's eyes started to glow a dark emerald green, only slightly darker than the shade of her own eyes. Her pupils turned to slits, if anyone were to look into her eyes they would describe them as cat-like. But for those who knew better, they would say she had the eyes of a dragon.

Sakura looked below, passed the flames and saw the black twisted aura of Orochimaru. He only had five demons with him. The sound four, as they liked to be called. And of course, his right hand demon, Kabuto. Kabuto's aura was nearly as black and twisted as Orochimaru's.

She looked toward the castle and smiled when she saw it was untouched by the flames. But just as soon as her smile appeared, it vanished. The army surrounding the castle wasn't large, but with ordinary ninja fighting, it would be difficult.

'Naruto will be their main target as a half-demon. Itachi and Ryuu know this so he should be alright for now. I'll take care of Orochimaru myself.'

Sakura swooped down and when the dragon was just above Orochimaru she jumped and landed just in front of him and Kabuto. The Sound 4 were spread out behind her.

"Ah, the Dragon Princess. So good to see you again my dear." Orochimaru's tongue came out gliding across his lips before retreating back inside his mouth.

Sakura grimaced and replied, "The feeling is not mutual I assure you."

Orochimaru frowned. His smile soon reappeared though. "That won't matter soon. Soon your power will be mine and you and all your pathetic friends will have perished." Orochimaru surprised Sakura by hitting her with the tail of a snake he'd summoned without her knowledge.

Sakura flew through six trees before finally stopping. "Son of a-" Sakura didn't get to finish her sentence, she was already up and moving away from the sword that had nearly cut off her head.

Orochimaru stood grinning by the tree his sword was embedded in. A look of disgust made itself known on Sakura's face. The look didn't last long as Kabuto attacked her from behind, using his chakra scalpels to try to sever the muscles that allowed her movement.

The Sound Four decided it was necessary for them to attack her as well. Six to one. Her odds weren't as good as she'd like, but there is something she has that they don't. Sakura whistled and smirked as Luna swooped down and allowed her mistress to grab onto her tail and be carried out of reach of the shinobi below.

"Let's show them what you can do Luna!" Sakura shouted to her dragon. Luna let out a terrifying, hair raising roar that captured the attention of those fighting at the castle.

"Sakura." Sasuke whispered to himself as he dodged another demon's claw. "Be safe." he whispered just before plunging his katana into the chest of the demon he'd been fighting.

Sakura pulled herself onto Luna's back and smirked as a great ball of fire left Luna's mouth and descended at great speed toward Orochimaru, Kabuto, and the Sound Four.

The ball of fire was moving at such a great speed that Sakura and the people it was aimed at knew that none of them would be able to get out of the way in time.

The ball reached them and their screams of agony pierced through the air. Sakura had to cover her ears from the horrid sound.

The demons plaguing the palace disintegrated all at once. Not one remained. When the fire ball lost it's glow and it's fires ceased. Sakura was surprised to see no remains of Orochimaru or Kabuto. What was left of the Sound Four was there but Orochimaru and Kabuto were gone.

Sakura flew back to the palace on Luna's back. She fingered the necklace Sasuke gave her and smiled.

She landed near the ground of ninja and slid into the arms of Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke hugged her as though if he let go she would disappear.

"I was so worried." Sasuke admitted quietly.

"I'm sorry." Sakura replied.

"Sakura-Hime, what of Orochimaru?" Itachi asked.

"There were no remains." Sakura replied.

"Then perhaps it is finally over." Ryuu said quietly, but loud enough so that all could hear him.

"No. This is only the beginning."
