This is a re-edit of the first chapter. The first few chapters were annoying me in how they were written and the mistakes. After they are edited I will post chapter 17 up. Here's chapter 1:Re-edit

Quote: Believe it! -Naruto (obviously)

Disclaimer:Me no own:(

A girl with pastel pink hair was walking through the village of Konohagakure. She was just wandering around, no purpose necessary. She hadn't any missions lately but dare not question her Hokage about it. This girls name? It is Sakura Haruno.

'I wonder why Shisou hasn't given me any missions lately. She knows I'm capable. Maybe, she has one very important that requires her to think it over...' Sakura thought, she never knew with what her teacher would do. The only thing she could think about was if Tsunade was too drunk to make up her mind or is actually experiencing inner turmoil over a decision.

Maybe 15 minutes after thinking about that Sakura saw Naruto running towards her. How she loved her best friend. If she didn't have Naruto the pinkette wouldn't know what she would do.

Naruto, running up to Sakura began yelling, "Sakura-chan! Tsunade-baa sent me here to get you! She said it was super important. Want me to walk with you there Sakura-chan?"

"Sure, if you want," Spoke Sakura, it didn't matter anyway, though the company would be nice. The hunt for Sasuke stopped about a month back. It was useless, if he wanted to come back he would. Naruto wasn't the happiest about this but it made sense.

"What are you waiting for? Lets go!" Yelled an already 50 feet ahead Naruto. Patience be damned with him.

'I swear he has unlimited energy, and not just from Kurama(Kyuubi)'"Comming! Wait up!" Sakura yelled and thought. 'There goes walking with him, it's more or less sprint to catch up to him.'

By the time she caught up with him, Naruto was already at the front of the Hokage Tower. "What took ya so long Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked with his normal large smile.

"You ran way ahead without letting me know at all first! That's why!" Spoke Sakura hitting over the head, but not enough to knock him into the ground or anything.

"Oww, you really need to stop hitting me Sakura-chan, it hurts!" Complained Naruto. Sakura's punches could really hurt if she tried. If he were anyone else that would have gotten them pounded to the ground. "Well, anyway, your here so you should be good. You better tell me what happens in there! Ja!"

"Thanks Naruto-kun, I will!" waving goodbye while walking into the largest building in Konoha.

Climbing the many stairs Sakura finally made her way up to her Shisou's room. Walking out was another medical ninja by the name of Shizune, and she was carrying her pink pig with her.

"Hi Sakura-chan! Tsunade-sama is expecting you now. It's nice to see you, since you haven't been doing as many rounds in the hospital. I'd suggest I let you go in now, don't want Tsunade-sama getting impatient in there. Good Luck!" Shizune said, allowing Sakura to pass.

'Here we go...' thought Sakura. She had absolutely no clue as what to expect.

"You're here Sakura, take a seat. I doubt you'll want to stand for this." Solemnly spoke the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf. She normally was upbeat and bubbly so Sakura knew something was up.

"Why so serious? Your never like this Shisou. Is something up?" Sakura sincerely questioned. She was worried that maybe something serious happened. But why would she tell her?

Sighing Tsunade began to speak once more, "I've been contemplating who to give this mission to and sadly, came to you as the best choice. I didn't want to send you on the mission but no one else can compare to you in ability to complete it."

"Your beating around the bush. What is it that the decision was so hard to make?" Worried Sakura asked. 'I'm going to steel my nerves and say yes no matter what. Tsunade-shisou knows best.'

Staring directly into the pink haired kunoichi's eyes Tsunade said, "Your mission, should you choose to accept, is that your would infiltrate the Akatsuki and filter the information you gather to me. Saying yes would mean that you would have to cut your ties to this village for the length of this mission and be considered a traitor. Joining the Akatsuki as an official member is also a part of this. I hate that I have to ask you this but, do you, Sakura Haruno, accept this mission? You can deny and I could find someone else if you want..."

"No, no, I'll... take this mission on. I wouldn't want to put someone else in danger due to me being selfish. When do I leave?" Though wary of her decision she refused to say no.

Tears brimming in Tsunade's eyes, "You would have to leave tonight and tell no one. Leave these gates by midnight or I will send ANBU after you. Good luck, and don't get yourself killed!"

Nodding her head at her teacher she left the office. Sakura walked down the stairs and once outside jumped from rooftop to rooftop until she got to her apartment. Once there she packed up her belongings early.

The kunoichi took one last look around the village with the sun setting in the backdrop. Luckily she ran into no one on her last look. Back at her apartment after trying to take in everything she threw on a solid black cloak and took a kunai out of her back.

'I really wish I didn't have to do this, but in the end it could lead to saving Naruto's life. I'm so sorry I have to leave you Naruto, I wouldn't have ever dreamed it,' Sakura thought, a tear slipping down her face. Jumping out of her window she headed for the gates.

Arriving at her destination Sakura mumbled a faint "Goodbye everyone," as she walked past the gates for the last time in who knows how long. 'Now where to find some of the Akatsuki. It's rumored their base is in Amegakure. Let's start there,' Thus began the mission of a lifetime.

Re-editing isn't easy! I hope you like this better than the original. I'm working on chapter 2 as soon as this is up. Check back in a day for the re-edit of chapter 2 (Help me, this is going to kill me...) Until then, Good day to you all!
