The setting of this fanfic starts after Tobi has talked to Naruto about Sasuke, and this is also during the 5 Kage Summit Arc of the storyline. Please don't flame, reviews and constructive criticism would be awesome though. Please enjoy!

Chapter 1

I had told Naruto I loved him. I told him that to stop his self-mission of saving Sasuke, because I had asked him. I didn't really love Naruto, not in the romantic sense anyways. But I had this feeling that if he were to encounter Sasuke, he would fail and worst of all that he would die. I didn't want to be responsible for his death because at the end of the day it would be my fault.

He had walked away from me just like Sasuke had, except this time I didn't run after him. Instead I walked away, knowing that the next time I saw him this would be all over. Because I was going after Sasuke. Alone.

Either he would die or I would, but I had to try and stop Sasuke. He was now the enemy and threat to all of the 5 great shinobi nations. Even so… I loved him still. God, what was wrong with me? I knew it was stupid, crazy, and most of all selfish, but I couldn't help it. I truly loved Sasuke and that was that.

It was snowing when I left. I ran through the woods that were nearby and headed in the direction Sasuke was in. I knew he was nearby because of what I had overheard of Naruto and the other person… Oh yeah, Tobi, their conversation. Sasuke wasn't far away, located about 5 miles ahead in a hidden cave. Tobi had given them the choice to go after him and kill him or to bring him back before the Raikage located him but I was taking matters into my own hands.

I stopped running, I had arrived in front of the cave. I started to walk towards the entrance but a figure started walking out. It looked like… but know it couldn't be… It was him, he was approaching me. Sasuke Uchiha.

"Sakura… so in the end it was you who found me. But you're too late. I'm much stronger than anyone you've brought with you. Even Kakashi."

I backtracked, but he still approached me. I looked at his face. It was covered with bloody bandages. He began to remove them and I froze. His eyes… no his Sharingan… it was different than any I had seen before and this point I thought that I had seen almost all the types but I was wrong. This one was like three elongated ovals intersecting, forming a sort of asterisk shape.

He held more than just power in those eyes. He held anger and something that looked like a sort of sadness. I had to get it together, this was my chance to finally kill him. I started to move again but fell short when he started speaking again.

"What no hello? Not even curious about my eyes are you Sakura?" He became more serious and said, "They're my brothers. I killed him, just like I said I would." The air grew with a sort of coldness that did not come from the falling snow. I hesitated to talk to him because I knew if I said to much, I wouldn't be able to do it. To kill the one that I had loved for so long. I spoke anyways, ignoring my instincts.

"Then why Sasuke? Why won't you come back to us? Come back to me? Even after all you've done, you could atone for your sins by coming home finally."

I felt a wetness on my cheeks and immediately wiped off the tears, not wanting to look weak anymore. He wasn't going to speak and I didn't want to hear the answer. Instead I pulled out my shortsword and charged him, applying my chakra to the blade to give it more strength against his chidori blade. I was feet away and still he didn't move.

Now I was inches away and I prepared to stab him through the heart as I looked into his eyes. Now they held pity as well and faster than lightning he tossed me through the air with a flick of his wrist. I fell hard into a snow covered tree. I shakily got up and was about to charge again when he appeared in front of me.

"Did you not hear me Sakura? Or has the whole of the leaf village become like Naruto now? If so let me say it again." He picked me up by the throat, choking me and threw back to where he had been standing before. I tried getting up again but I couldn't stop coughing. I heard him walking slowly towards me and as he walked he said, "No one that you came with can defeat me. Not Naruto, not Kakashi, and especially not you. You who were an even worse excuse for a ninja than Naruto was when we were kids. You think you can kill me? Not in a million years!"

All of a sudden a sudden shift in the air occurred and I felt an immense chakra summoned by Sasuke. I looked up and a ghostly figure made of what looked like fiery bones was above Sasuke. I felt the fear enter my entire being and then felt it morph my face.

"This is Susanoo. Only Uchihas who have mastered their Sharingan can summon this being. My Susanoo will kill you and then, I'll kill Naruto."

The thing, Susanoo approached me slowly and Sasuke said one final thing, "Die knowing this Sakura. I may have thanked you before but I take it back. The village was holding me back and soon I will destroy it. But know that I never loved you, and I never will. Not even if you went back in time and changed everything. You will always be deadweight to everyone around you. Now… Die!"

Susanoo charged me but disappeared in smoke and Sasuke collapsed clutching his eyes and screaming in pain. A voice sounded from somewhere saying, "You overdid it Sasuke. You haven't fully healed from the surgery; now put the bandages on as I deal with her."

A figure floated down. He was wearing a spiral mask.

"I'm sure you know this already but I am Tobi, or Madara, but also I am No One. You will die here Sakura Haruno, without saving Sasuke but also in front of your teammates who are on their way here courtesy of me." He made a hand sign and my body clenched up. He was using some kind of paralysis jutsu on me.

"Sasuke I'm going to use my kamui on her so get back."

Sasuke grunted and moved away. All of a sudden I felt a pressure on my whole body it was twisting and morphing my body and I could hear screaming. It was me, I was screaming in immense pain. My body was being transported but it felt like years as the process continued to proceed. All the while I screamed until my voice grew too raw that even that hurt to do.

All of a sudden I saw yellow spiky hair against the white of the snow. Naruto had come with Kakashi and the others but it was too late I was going to die. I heard him shout my name and the others did as well. They tried to stop what Tobi was doing but it wouldn't work. I was going to die in a few moments because of my foolishness.

I looked at Kakashi-sensei and said, "I'm sorry sensei, I was stupid. Forgive me." I started crying again. "Sai, I know we didn't get along at first but you are my comrade and a precious friend. Keep Naruto in check for me." Now I was in full blown tears. "Captain Yamato, I'm sorry I disappointed you earlier. I meant though. I love Naruto but not like that. More like a brother. Thank you for supporting us in Kakashi-sensei's stead." I finally looked at Naruto and said, "I do love you Naruto but like I said more of a sibling love. I tried killing him, but he was way out of my league. Naruto I'm so sorry!"

The pain got to its worst after I finished. I screamed louder on longer than I had before even through al the pain in my throat. Then silence, I was passing through whatever dimension Tobi had sent me through and I would die there momentarily. As I passed through I passed out and tears freely fell down my face.

"You…YOU KILLED HER!" Naruto screamed in a rage no one had heard before. Red chakra was seeping out of him rapidly and soon he had 6 tails. Except he seemed to be in full control. He charged Tobi but missed and instead of Tobi attacking back he simply used the same technique he used on Sakura to suck away the Kyuubi's chakra. Naruto collapsed in the snow and Kakashi ran to his side while Yamato and Sai readied for an attack of their own.

Tobi went to the side of Sasuke and said, "I was merely doing what Sasuke couldn't do with his own hands. We're leaving now. If you want revenge stay alive until the war. We will meet on the battlefield Naruto, one way or another."

Naruto's sobs filled the quiet that followed after Tobi teleported Sasuke and himself away from the snowy grounds. Kakashi also shook with sobs as they both mourned the loss of their teammate. Yamato and Sai supported the both of them and went back to the nearby village even though they too were crying at the loss of Sakura. They went to the Kage summit to report what had just happened to Lady Tsunade and the others, all the while unaware that Sakura still lived but not in their time.

15 years in the past

I slowly woke up. I was surrounded by stone and more specifically rubble. I was completely disorientated but I was alive. But where was everyone else? I stood up and looked around me. No one in sight, but then I heard screams. I ran towards them, thinking they might have been my comrades, and I was right in a way.

I looked at the scene in front of me. An enormous rock was falling and was about to land on a silver haired boy about a year younger than me maybe. But another boy with goggles pushed out of the way and it landed on him.

I ran to help immediately but I noticed some shinobi in the woods surrounding preparing to attack them. I wanted to help but if I didn't take care of the shinobi first, the three young ninja ahead would all surely die.

I quickly intercepted the enemy shinobi and killed them quickly. I started to make my way towards the younger ninjas but I was too late. The boy with goggles had been crushed and his left eye removed. I thought he was dead but I saw him speaking. I quickly ran towards them, ignoring their questions, and I lifted the boulder and tossed it far away.

I focused on the boy. I would save him. I began healing his entire right side. Soon his bones mended and I healed his muscle damage, and I repaired the right side of his face. The younger ninjas who watched me just stared in amazement not questioning what I was doing. They knew that I was saving their friend. I gave the boy with goggles a few food pills to replenish his chakra and then took out some ointment I had to cover most his right arm and leg.

I then began to work on his internal organs. I could do this, just a little more time and a little more chakra and he would live. I myself took a food pill and most of my chakra came back. I finished repairing his innards. His bones were all mostly healed except for his spine. I now focused on that but I became more careful when dealing with his spine. Luckily it was broken cleanly but I couldn't move him quite yet, so I forced my chakra to move straight to his spine. Hours later his spine was healed and he was now in a recovery state. He was sleeping now and I was sweating, exhausted form working nonstop to save this young man.

I don't know why I did it but I knew it had to be done. It was the right thing to do, I couldn't let someone die if I could help them. I fell backwards and someone handed me a can of water. I gratefully took it and moments later I accidentally drank it all. I sat up and when I looked at the ninjas whose comrade I had saved I froze. There was a young girl and the boy with silver hair, both with headbands on their heads indicating they were from the Leaf village.

The girl had been crying and she thanked me several times over as did the boy they both surrounded their comrade but I only stared at the boy. He must've asked me a question because he started shaking me.

"Huh? What? Sorry what did you say?"

The silver haired boy looked annoyed but patiently asked, "Who are you? You have a leaf headband but I've never seen you before. Are you really from our village or are you some spy?"

I looked at him then the girl and finally the boy I had saved and said, "I'm Sakura. Sakura Haruno, I am from the leaf village. But who are you, I've never seen you either." I was lying. I had seen him before. I knew him very well, but I also recognized the other two from a photo I had once seen. He spoke back to me in a serious voice.

"I am Kakashi Hatake of the leaf village."
