DISCLAIMER:: I DO NOOOTTTT OWN NARUTO!

"NARUTOOOOOOOO!" Sakura yelled at the top of her lungs as Naruto yet again did another idiotic thing to aggravate her. Naruto flew through a wall that Sakura's, amazingly powerful punch, had just sent him flying through. Naruto groaned from the other side of the wall, "Sakura-chaann, that hurt!" Sakura, who now had flames protruding her head, glared at him angrily and responded, "It was supposed to hurt you bakaaa!" Naruto sat up quickly rubbing his sore head. Sakura turned her heels and proceeded to her destination before she was rudely interrupted by Naruto. I swear one of these days Naruto…

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

SAKURA AND THE REST OF THEM (INO, NARUTO, SHIKAMARU ETC.) ARE NOW IN ANBU. THEY ARE 19 YEARS OLD. SAKURA HAD LONG PINK HAIR WHICH SHE KEEPS BRAIDED IN ONE SINGLE BRAID THAT TRAVELS WELL DOWN HER BACK. SHE IS INCREDIBLY STRONG NOW AND KNOWS HOW TO CONTROL HER EMOTIONS BETTER.

Sakura nearly reached Tsunade's office when she heard Ino's annoying voice yell her name, "SAKURAAA!" Sakura cringed and reluctantly turned around to meet Ino walking towards her. What the hell does she want, can't she see that I'm in the middle of something. "Yes Ino," pig Sakura added in her mind. "Ohh I just heard that Tsunade is going to be sending you on a solo ANBU mission, are you scared?" Sakura huffed and then mockingly laughed, "I'm prepared for anything, and I am the strongest girl anyway. There is nothing I can't handle and I am most definitely NOT scared." Sakura flipped a strand of her bang from her face, and cocked her hip to one side resting her hand on it. She tapped her foot impatiently as so to let Ino know that she was busy and that she was wasting her time. Ino noted her foot tapping and rolled her eyes followed by a, "Hn… well have fun Sa-ku-ra," and with that said Ino walked off leaving Sakura to her duties. Sakura turned back towards Hokage headquarters and walked the rest of the distance there without anymore distractions.

Sakura reached her masters door and knocked twice before hearing a muffled, "Enter." She slowly opened the door and there was Tsunade sitting at her desk with piles of paper surrounding her and a bottle of sake. Does she ever stop drinking? Tsunade looked up from her disarray of work and welcomed Sakura. "Sakura, finally you've made it to my office."
"I would've been here earlier if it weren't for the interference's I had to face outside."
Tsunade continued on with her with her work while telling Sakura what she needed to meet with her for. "Sakura, I need you to go down to the Hidden Rain Village and investigate some mysterious disappearances. You will be the representative of the Hidden Leaf Village. There will be other representatives meeting you there from the Village Hidden in the Sand and Village Hidden in the Snow. They will all be there approximately in one week which is when you are scheduled to reach there as well. You are to leave tomorrow morning promptly." Sakura nodded. "I'm counting on you Sakura, I have faith in you. Please do not let me down." Sakura bowed in agreement then began to exit Tsunade's office.
"Oh, and one more thing." Sakura turned back around to see what it was that her master wanted. "Please come back." Sakura stood shocked for a second that totally came out of the blue of course she would come back. "Of course, I'm going to come back. I can't be taken down that easily." Tsunade let a smirk tint the edge of her lip. Sakura left the office, before Tsunade could stop her again. I've trained her well.

Sakura had just entered her room when she realized that she hadn't eaten for the day. Her stomach felt as though it had begun eating itself, so Sakura quickly raided her fridge for any left over food she could find. Luckily way at the back of her fridge she found some Onigiri. She quickly put it to warm for awhile and then devoured it. "Ahhh that hit the spot," Sakura proclaimed as she lay across her twin bed. "Maybe I should pack my things tonight?" Sakura looked around her room and decided on a couple more minutes of rest then she would get up at pack her things. A few more minutes actually turned into a few more hours.

Itachi was on his way to Pein's office. It had to be another mission. He knocked on his leader's door first before stepping inside after being given permission to do so. "Itachi I need you to intercept a few ninja's that will be coming to this village. They have gotten wind on the disappearances that have been happening. I need you to deal with them. I will be sending you along with Kisame. They'll be here in about a week, so make necessary preparations. Do not disappointment me." Itachi nodded and proceeded to exit his office.

He was on his way to the kitchen to grab something to drink. He turned on the tap and filled a glass with water before swallowing it down. He rested the glass in the sink and turned around to return to his room only to be face to face with Deidara. "Got a new mission, yeah?" "Hn," was all Itachi responded back with. Itachi moved which forced Deidara to move out of his way, "You know you need to lighten up." Itachi disregarded his statement and kept moving towards his room. Once inside his room Itachi removed his cloak and put it on the hook behind his door. He dissembled his sharingan and sat on the edge of his black satin sheet covered bed. He rubbed his eyes which have been bothering him more and more lately. He knew he would lose his sight soon, but he was prepared. As long as it was after he finished doing what he needed to do. He opened his eyes and everything in his room was dim and blurry. Damn it… Itachi hated this. He reached over to his bed-stand and picked up the bottle of pills that he was required to take daily in order to slow down the process of his sickness. He swallowed one of the pills and returned the bottle to its original place. He sat on his the edge of his bed for awhile just thinking about nothing in particular when he heard a knock on his door. Itachi was annoyed, "Enter." Kisame opened his door and stood at the doorway. "What did the leader want with you?" Itachi activated his sharingan before looking up at Kisame. He hated people seeing his true eyes. "We have a mission. There will be a group of ninja's arriving here in the rain village. We must intercept them and deal with them." Kisame rubbed his fish face and asked, "When?"
"In a week."
Kisame sighed, "Okay." Itachi was done speaking after that and took the moment to lean back into his bed. Kisame saw that his partner looked tired so he exited his room without another word spoken. Itachi soon fell asleep.

A week later

Finally I'm here. Sakura landed in the Hidden Village in the Rain. She walked to the nearest hotel and set up a stay for the night. It was raining pretty heavily outside. She took off her trench coat, which was now soaking wet, and hung it up to dry. She didn't plan on going anywhere else for the rest of the night. So she kicked off her shoes and hopped into the bed. "This weather is so draining." Sakura sunk into the softness of her bed and allowed it to let her mind take a trip down memory lane. She remembered when she was a child, she remembered having a huge crush, she remembered it being Sasuke, she remembered Sasuke leaving, she remembered him breaking her heart, she remembered crying countless days and nights, she remembered wanting him to come home, she remembered growing up and she remembered moving on. Sakura sighed, Sasuke… you were my motivation to become strong. Now that I am, I thank you wherever you might be. Sakura sighed again and rolled over on her bed. She missed the old days when everyone was happy and worked together to become stronger. She also came to an age now that she realizes that those days are gone and are never coming back. So she lives her life for her now and no one else, she's done stressing over things she can't change… things like the past. Sakura slid out of bed and changed into her sleeping clothes, which consisted of her underwear and an oversized t-shirt. She turned out the lights and climbed into bed. She was to meet up with the others tomorrow early in the morning so she needed her rest.
