Naruto: Finally the sequel! Now I will know what happens next!
Sakura: we all will knucklehead.
Me: yeah you know what's gonna happen a little earlier than everyone else too because your in it!
Naruto: But I don't have any lines in this chapter!
Me: Oh yeah forgot about that…
Sakura: Well I do so BluePanda does not own Naruto!
Me: Yeah! To the story! Oh by the way another time skip by 5 years. I'll tell you how old each is though so don't worry.
Sakura Haruno was now an 18 year old ANBU medic specialist. She learned from the best: the fifth Hokage herself. She learned more than medics though, she also learned super human strength and some say some of the Hokage's temper. Although she was an ANBU she rarely went out on missions because being one of few medics (good ones as well) it would do the village no good if she were to die on missions she wasn't needed on. The village was stronger than ever actually, the rookie 9, along with Gai's team were either jonin or ANBU. Well all except one.
Naruto Uzumaki 18 years old was still a chunin. Not because he wasn't strong no on the contrary, he was very strong its just he was outside the village training with Jiraya again. Naruto has been gone for about two years now and he was dearly missed, but people understood why he had to leave.
"Naruto…" Sakura sighed. Her life was no where near what it was. Team 7 was well split up some would say. With Naruto gone and Sasuke well being Sasuke, its not hard to find out why. Sasuke was still trying to get Sakura and Sakura still didn't like him. It was getting worse and worse so Sakura always tried to busy herself when he wasn't on a mission.
Sasuke Uchiha, 18 years old, ANBU. He left about 3 years ago to go to Orichimaru but came back much to Sakura's dismay. The village welcomed him back pratically with open arms after Naruto had to basically drag him back. Sakura shivered at the look she got when he got back. One of the worst days of her life.
"Sakura Haruno." A messenger snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Hai."
"Letter." Sakura took the letter and opened it. She had been getting many letters lately, all from her brother. Yes Sakura had a brother, older to be exact, 22 years old. He ran away when Sakura was still young and became a missing nin. She thought he had died until she had seen him on one of her missions. Luckily it was a solo or her teamates would have attacked him. Let's just say he was an S-ranked criminal. Let's also say that he was Sasori of the Red Sand. In truth he was, when he ran away he moved in with their grandma, Chiyo. He lived in the sand for the beginning of his teen years until he left the Sand too, technically that's when he became a missing nin. That's also when he joined Akatsuki. Well let's see what the letter said.
My little Cherry Blossom,
How are you doing? I miss you so much, and I really want to see you again. I am sorry I can't be there for you like I should but, you know why. I love you a lot Sakura and don't you ever forget it alright? I gotta go, boss is coming.
Write soon and I love you,
Sasori
Sakura smiled and sighed.
"I am so happy that I found him, I just wish he could be here." Sakura then frowned. "I wish anyone would just be here…"
"I am here for you blossom."
"Great…" Sakura said sarcastically.
"Sakura when are you gonna give up playing hard to get? I want you isn't that what you wanted?" Sasuke asked stepping closer to her. Sakura backed away.
"No! its definitely not what I want and you can't get it through your thick skull!! Leave me alone Sasuke." Sakura shouted.
"I will never leave you alone blossom, you are obviously single for a reason, so many have wanted to be yours and you turned them all down."
"Just like you" Sakura said teleporting away.
"Damn it!" Sasuke cursed. "How am I supposed to revive my clan if my perfect canidate won't accept the facts"
"Because she loves another." A voice said behind him.
"Stay out of this Kakashi." Sasuke said glaring.
"No. As long as you try to pester my daughter I won't"
"Pfft she is not your daughter." Sasuke mocked.
"Maybe not by blood but she is the closest I have and I will protect her from the likes of you, a lot of the villagers may have accepted you back no problem but I haven't and neither has Sakura nor Naruto. Once a traitor always a traitor."
"You won't be able to stop me, you old fool."
"You really think I am the only one who will try and stop you?" Kakashi chuckled. "You obviously don't know how well liked Sakura is then."
"It doesn't matter none of you will be able to stop me, not Naruto, not you, not anybody." Sasuke said arrogantly.
"Arrogant as ever I see."
"doesn't matter I need an heir and Sakura will produce the perfect one." Sasuke said. "Just some convincing by the Hokage and she'll accept, reviving the once strongest clan she will be all for it." Sasuke smirked. "Then I will have what I want when I want it."
"I am not something to be bartered." Sakura said coming into the clearing.
"Sakura I would leave." Kakashi warned.
"Sorry Kaka-sensei but you have a mission and I was sent to deliver the message." Sakura explained. Kakashi looked uneasy and Sasukes smirk grew. "Don't get your hopes up Uchiha, I am leaving too." Sakura said never taking her eyes off her old sensei. Kakashi sighed in relief.
"You know I am not your sensei anymore so you don't have to call me that."
"You will always be my sensei because you are like my father and daughters never stop learning from their fathers. Besides just Kaka doesn't sound as good as Kaka-sensei." Sakura responded. Kakashi chuckled and Sakura smiled. "Shall we go now Kaka-sensei?" Kakashi nodded and took out his book. They began walking away from an angry Uchiha glaring holes in their backs. Sasuke was about to walk away when something caught his eye.
"What do we have here?" Sasuke said picking up a piece of paper. Reading it Sasuke smirked. "Well I think a certain Kazekage should see this, I'll send it to him for you my blossom, then I'll get rid of Sasori." Sasuke went and sent it on his fastest bird and walked away with triumph.
Meanwhile in Suna a certain blonde was bored out of her mind. Temari Sabaku now 19 years old was an ANBU now and very close to the Kazekage. She was also his advisor when needed. But right now she needed something to do.
"And what better to do then check up on the Kazekage?" she said heading to the tower. She walked right past the receptionist and straight to a large door, pushing right past the door she entered his office. The two in the room stopped their conversation to the source of the interruption.
"Temari" A now 19 year old Kankuro said. He had the same positions as his sister. Hey the Kazekage didn't just trust anyone. Speaking of which Gaara Sabaku 18 years old and the youngest Kazekage. But the age doesn't really matter, he definitely was one of the better Kazekages. Suna was flourishing and the economy was fine. Gaara took care of just about every big problem and he is no longer the fearsome man he was. He nodded in greeting to his sister.
"Well lets just have a secret meeting without me!" Temari shouted.
"Not a secret meeting Temari we were just talking about man stuff." Kankuro scoffed
"Why?" Temari said confused.
"Well girls have girl talk and men have talks too."
"Not like that but whats the issue that you need to have guy talk?"
"Man to man Temari." Kankuro said.
"Fine don't tell me I'll just get the message then." Temari huffed and went to the window where a messenger bird just flew to. She grabbed the message and handed it to the Kazekage. "Its an Uchiha bird, but why would Sasuke send you something doesn't he hate you?"
"It is strange but give it here." Gaara replied holding out his hand. Temari walked to him and handed him the parchment.
Dear Mister Kazekage,
Just thought you would like to know about this, and its not fake just ask Sakura if you don't believe me.
Well here it is.
Sasuke
Gaara rose an eyebrow and looked at the attached letter, he read it and pounded on his desk before leaning his head in his hands and pulling at his hair. His siblings rose an eyebrow at their brothers reaction and looked at the letter.
My little Cherry Blossom,
How are you doing? I miss you so much, and I really want to see you again. I am sorry I can't be there for you like I should but, you know why. I love you a lot Sakura and don't you ever forget it alright? I gotta go, boss is coming.
Write soon and I love you,
Sasori
"Woah Sakura and Sasori??" Temari said gasping, Kankuro nodded.
"That's really weird" Kankuro said.
"Should we go to Konoha?" Temari asked. "A lot has happened probably, I mean we haven't seen them in almost a year, since Gaara's birthday."
"We have to I have a meeting with the Hokage." Gaara responded "But I don't think she'll mind if we leave early. I have to get to the bottom of this." Gaara whispered the last part, but his siblings heard. "Pack up we are leaving tonite." With that he left to get ready for departure. When they were sure that he was out of hearing, the two siblings began to talk.
"He really cares about her." Kankuro said worridly.
"Well yeah she was the first to see him as he is not how he was." Temari replied equally worried. "I just don't understand that Sakura would lead him on like that though. I mean she seemed to be really into him at the party last year." Temari said confused.
"I know I didn't know she would be one to do that." Kankuro said. "Well we should pack and rest up Gaara will be going hard on us on this journey."
"Yeah…" The two siblings left still worried about their youngest brother.
In the Hokages Office.
"Good you two are here." Tsunade said. "Now I have a mission for you both."
"Sakura you must marry Sasuke." Kakashi and Sakura looked at her wide eyed and mouth gaping.
"WHAT!?" Sakura screamed, so loud that the whole village probably heard. "I can't believe you!! I am not going to mar—
"Sakura!" Tsunade shouted "I was joking calm down I would never allow it." Sakura sighed in relief.
"Don't do that!" Sakura shouted "That's my worst nightmare. But what is the mission?"
"The Kazekage will be coming here soon and you two will be his body guards and tour guides." Tsunade said.
"Really Gaara is coming?!" Sakura shouted with joy.
"Yes he is." Tsunade said smiling at her apprentice. Even Kakashi smiled at her. "Now get out of my office!" Sakura walked or rather skipped out of the office. 'We get to see Gaara again!!' 'I know I'm soo excited!'
"Sakura relax he will be here soon enough." Kakashi said nose in his book, but still slightly smiling.
"I know but I haven't seen in so long! I really miss him." Sakura sighed. "I miss a lot of people actually…" Sakura trailed off.
"Naruto will be back soon, your not the only one that misses him."
"I wonder how Hinata is doing." Sakura said
"See other people are in your same shoes." Kakashi said.
"Your just mad cause Anko got a mission and you won't see her for a while." Sakura teased. Kakashi sighed and walked home. "Aww come on Kakashi! You'll see her soon!" Sakura giggled at her sensei and went her own way, thinking of the upcoming events.
Naruto: You gave the Teme lines but not me?!
Me: yeah but your not back yet plus it adds to the plot.
Sakura: I get to see Gaara again! YAY!!
Me: Yeah... well review!
Kakashi: 3 reviews then the next chapter alright people.
Me: Yeah! also i am thinking of doing sneak peaks at the end of each chapter so tell me if you want them. Until next time BluePanda.
