Leaves were
silent even when they were whipped away by a skilled and fast moving Shinobi.
Tree branches didn’t even tremble as the Shinobi landed on them. It was very
evident this Shinobi was very skilled. It was also apparent that the Shinobi
was hunting on something, but it wasn’t certain, whether it was something
close… or something so far away…
A fisherman
looked above him and saw a figure block a ray of the sun for a split second, as
the Shinobi soared above and beyond him. The Shinobi noticed the fisherman and
also noticed that the man was not from the Village he was currently in, but
decided to let it rest. She had more important matters to attend to now.
She had
become one of the better Hunter-nins of the Leaf. She had become very powerful
thanks to the Fifth Hokage’s teachings. Mitarashi Anko and her previous ANBU
Commander also helped out a lot.
But her
mission was very difficult, not her ANBU mission… but her own, personal
mission. Which was to find the two remaining team members of
her old team. She just needed to find Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto,
for different reasons…
Hit By Realization
She grew up
with them, not knowing their secrets. She did know Sasuke’s secret, because the
entire Village knew about it. And everyone just felt sorry for the little
Uchiha. She knew that his entire Clan was killed by his brother, Uchiha Itachi.
She knew he had tortured Sasuke with the Mangekyou Sharingan now. She knew what
Sasuke needed to do to obtain next developments of the Sharingan.
They had
fully searched through the
That’s how
she had found out just what the real deal was behind Sasuke’s and Naruto’s
fight when Sasuke left Konoha. Now she also understood why Sasuke needed to
leave Konoha, and why her love for him was just so… childish.
When Naruto
had also left Konoha, after he returned with his three year training trip with
Jiraiya, Sakura realised she didn’t know anything about Naruto. She came to
find out no one would tell her anything about him. She wanted to know why
Naruto left Konoha, to become a Missing-nin, just like Sasuke had become… She
wanted to know why he also chose to abandon Konoha.
But the
answer to that question didn’t come to her easily. First, she learned of
Kakashi’s past. Kakashi’s past of Uchiha Obito and Rin. How he had lost them during
his time as a Jounin.
She had
become quite self-conscious as she realised that the people around her all
experienced something awful. And what did she have? A split personality?
Compared to the shit the others have gone through, that was nothing! At least
her own ‘problem’ made her immune to the Yamanaka techniques and Orochimaru’s
take-over skill.
But she
felt even worse when she learned of Naruto’s big secret… And what a big secret
it was. She never really wondered why everyone in the village hated Naruto’s
guts, she noticed, but she never really cared. And oh, how much she hated
herself for it now…
To think
that the hyperactive boy never knew why he was hated for the most part of his
life was even more mind-wrecking. To think, that even SHE told Naruto that she
hated him… She never felt more ashamed. Such an innocent young child… young boy
and now young man, hated by everyone, for something he couldn’t be blamed for…
Sakura was
shocked to hear that Kyuubi, the great Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, was sealed inside
Naruto… With such a big secret, how can you be so… cheery all the time? Was
that why he left Konoha? If she had been in his shoes… she would have killed
herself a long time ago… Naruto really was something…
When she
learned of all those secrets, she didn’t have any right to nag about anything!
She was lucky in life compared to them and yet, she was the one who always
cried?! No more!! Never again shall she shed another tear!!
Her duty as
Hunter-nin was to kill Missing-nins… But she would humiliate Uchiha Sasuke by
beating him to a pulp and she would bring Naruto back to Konoha, even if she
had to drag him, he was needed in Konoha… needed by her…

Tsunade
wasn’t surprised to see one of her best Hunter-nins arrive in the
Uchiha
Sasuke has been located.
“Sakura… In
some Countries this time of the year is a time to celebrate and be with family
and friends. You shouldn’t be happy with the latest news.” The Fifth Hokage
said as she gazed upon the slightly shorter Sakura.
“My
apologies, Hokage-sama… But you know how I get, when one of those names pop
up.” Sakura said, before taking off her mask, revealing sharp, cold eyes, but
still very beautiful. “So… where has he been spotted?”
Tsunade’s
grin left her face. “Well… It’s strange, but… he’s still somewhere around the
Northeast of the Earth Country. He wasn’t even close to the
Sakura
frowned. “ANBU located him and came back? Didn’t they confront him?” She said,
before taking a seat in front of Tsunade’s desk.
Tsunade
shook her head. “No. The member of the ANBU was alone and felt it more
important to report back. But… Sasuke stopped him and
told him that… he is coming…”
Sakura
looked puzzled. “He is coming?” Sakura paused and moved her gaze from Tsunade
to her lap. “Hokage-same…I’m… I’m moving out!”
“Sakura,
this time, it isn’t a fake one. It’s the real Sasuke this time. Are you sure
you can handle it?” Tsunade said as she turned very serious. “Take someone with
you. Hyuga Neji or
Sakura
immediately shook her head. “No, Hokage-sama. I’m sorry, but… I want to do this
alone… Please, Hokage-sama.” She insisted as she rose to her feet and tried to
stare Tsunade down.
Tsunade
closed her eyes and turned away from Sakura. After a sigh, she replied. “Fine…
But I expect you to give it everything you’ve got. It’s difficult to fight a
Sharingan user… He is a missing-nin and needs to be destroyed. Can you destroy
his body?”
“Yes, Hokage-sama!” Sakura yelled. She smiled at Tsunade and nodded, before she turned and
jumped out.
Tsunade
sighed as she felt Sakura leaving Konoha again. “Good luck, Sakura…”
Tsunade
slowly walked to her desk, before she stared straight at a newcomer in her
office.
“Do you
want me to follow, Hokage-sama?”
Tsunade
smiled and nodded her head. “Yes, Kakashi. I have a feeling she might need your
help. Are you sure you don’t want to stay in the Leaf? It’s fun this time of
the year?”
Kakashi
smiled, before he also turned away. “Thanks, but no… I don’t want to miss
seeing two of my old students fight each other… Besides, I have a score to
settle with Sasuke…”
--
The world was red, the world was dark. There
was nothing more important than feeling the red liquid around his fingers and
in his mouth. Everything was prey to him, even the most innocent and smallest
animals. But he himself no longer had much to care about. A wound didn’t come
easy to him, for he was the one who had endless Chakra. He was a source of
Chakra, his blood created Chakra for him to use, overuse and even waste, it
didn’t matter, he would be full of Chakra a second later...
He no longer could be reasoned with. Discussion
was nothing but delay for him. He hadn’t talked to another for years and it
could be said that he even forgot how to speak. But the forest he was in was
HIS forest. No one dared to step into it, because no one ever came out again…
And yet, he sensed a trespasser… New prey, prey
to be played with, to be observed, to be amused with…
To rip apart…
--
Sasuke slowly trudged through the famous
He was not like his brother. He didn’t always
have his Sharingan activated. That just took Chakra and was a definite sign of
arrogance. Sure, he was arrogant, but he just didn’t like wasting Chakra.
As he walked between the dozen of trees, he
felt like he was being watched. A feeling he was quite accustomed to. Without
moving his head, only his eyes, he looked around himself, trying to see
something ‘off.’ After a short minute, he shrugged and moved on.
He had become very strong, outliving both
Orochimaru and the vicious Kabuto. He hadn’t killed his brother yet, but he
sensed that that day was close. Soon, he would have his precious revenge and
then… all would be good. He would feel satisfied and then he could finally
settle down somewhere, knowing many out there hated him. But he wouldn’t care,
because he was able to kill his brother…
--
Eyes slightly narrowing at the sudden increase
of energy in HIS forest, he felt mesmerized and entertained to sense more
trespassers. More trespassers to play with…
He grinned, it had
been a while since more than one trespasser came to his forest.
He definitely would have fun today…
--
Sakura was
jumping from tree to tree, ignoring her conscience as she delved deeper into
the dangerous
But she
couldn’t help but feel pressured as she watched the tree branches around her.
So many Shinobis had been killed here in the last few years. She shuddered as
she thought she would die here as well. But she had become strong and didn’t
need anyone to protect her now! She hadn’t fought Kakashi after she was taught
by Tsunade, but she believed she was stronger than him now… She had beaten
Genma and Aoba in a sparring match once and Hyuga Neji, the Genius Jounin, even
had trouble fighting her.
And then,
suddenly, a massive killer intent spread throughout the forest and Sakura was
sent flailing to the ground. Far behind her, Kakashi also fell to the ground,
also having felt the humongous killer intent.
‘What… What the hell is in this forest?!’
--
Sasuke had also dropped on his knees as he felt
the Killer Intent. He was panting crazily and gripping his chest. His eyes were
frantically moving around, trying to see WHAT had sent that Killer Intent…
‘Unreal… It’s like in The
He stopped kneeling and tried to calm down. As
he was still panting, he started walking again.
‘I don’t like this…’ Sasuke thought before he
closed his eyes. ‘Sharingan!’
But he didn’t see anything…
--
Kakashi
staggered to his feet and took a look at his surroundings.
‘This
could become dangerous… Such a killer intent… I may have to work together with
Sakura to get rid of the threat in this
Kakashi
had noticed Sakura had started moving again. ‘She acts so reckless when Sasuke
or Naruto are ‘spotted,’ she’s difficult to deal with. But this time, we’ll
encounter Sasuke for real… How will we… react?’
--
Too unpleasant… He felt like he was being watched, yet… he KNOWS no one was around.
With his Sharingan activated, he should feel more than secure and yet… He felt
a little bit fear. Gritting his teeth, Sasuke shook his head, trying to get rid
of that fear…
Suddenly, he felt another surge of Chakra, his eyes widened as he felt another
again…
‘Someone’s approaching…And there’s… two of
them… Who are they?’ Sasuke thought as he hid himself.
--
Sakura stopped moving as she sensed, or, no longer sensed, the other Shinobi in
the
She also felt like she was being watched and took a look around her. It was as
if the trees were all looking at her. After a short moment of pondering, she
shrugged. She was sure… The Shinobi she was hunting down was… very close.
‘A Hunter-nin?’ Sasuke thought as he observed the Konoha ANBU in the middle of the
clearing. ‘Female, too… She couldn’t be the one with that massive killer
intent…’ Sasuke’s eyes widened as he saw the ANBU look straight at him…
Sakura smirked behind her mask and threw a dozen Shuriken at the Shinobi in the
tree. “Hello… Uchiha Sasuke-kun. I’ve come to collect!”
Sasuke frowned as he landed in front of the
Hunter-nin. “Konoha ANBU, Hunter-nin… Who’s your accomplice?”
Sakura
shrugged as she observed Sasuke. His looks almost hadn’t changed and he still
wore that smug expression. As always, it seems, he had his hands in his
pockets. She noticed that the Uchiha no longer carried the Curse Seal in his
neck and also noted the fully developed Sharingan. “I assume you killed
Orochimaru?”
Sasuke grinned. “Yeah, I did. You scared now?” Though Sasuke seemed
overconfident, he still didn’t like fighting Hunter-nins. They always knew the
weaknesses of his own Bloodline Limit and they always knew all of his secrets.
But then, all of his ‘little’ fear got washed away, as he saw the pink ponytail
of the Hunter-nin. He immediately smirked.
Sakura saw the widening of Sasuke’s smirk and frowned behind her mask. She had
felt that Sasuke was a bit nervous, but now… He was more than just
overconfident… There could only be one explanation, he knew who she was!
“If it isn’t the little Haruno Sakura… The only
pink-haired Shinobi of Konoha I know… Heh, I never thought I would see you
again, or actually… I was hoping that.” Sasuke ended with n evil grin. “In any
case… Little cry-baby, I’ll show you now why you never should have fallen in
love with me!”
Sasuke took on a fighting stance and gathered a
lot of Chakra in his Sharingan. “I stop for nothing to get my revenge and yet,
I shall do anything to get my revenge! You will perish here!” He yelled as he
jumped for Sakura, Kunais in his hands.
Sakura’s eyes widened as another massive surge of Killer Intent swept through
the clearing they were in. Sasuke was in mid-air, when he dropped to the
ground. Sakura fell to her knees and looked extremely puzzled. ‘So, Sasuke’s
feeling it too? So it isn’t him?’
Victims, puppets… Mere toys to play with…
Sakura turned around to see Kakashi appear. “You felt it too, right?”
“Yeah.
There’s something here that’s extremely dangerous…” Kakashi said as he helped
Sakura to her feet. “But we’ll deal with that later, if that’s possible. For
now, let’s focus on Uchiha Sasuke…”
A loud chuckle echoed through the forest.
“Haruno Sakura and… Hatake Kakashi?! What, did you two miss me?! Where’s the
other one?! The drop-out, the dead-last?”
”Like you, Naruto has become a missing-nin!” Sakura yelled.
“But unlike you, we’ll return him to the village!”
Kakashi
nodded. “Indeed… traitor… We shall end your life here.”
“Odd… I never expected that blonde loudmouth to
leave Konoha… I thought his dream was to become Hokage?” Sasuke mused out loud.
“It doesn’t matter… He never would have succeeded anyway.” Sasuke paused to
look at Kakashi and Sakura. “Now, how should I cook this one?”
Sakura took
off her mask and grinned maliciously.
Enjoyment… He hopped a tree branch lower
to observe the tree Shinobis in his forest. Insolent Shinobis…
“You will
pay right here, Uchiha Sasuke-kun!” Sakura screamed as she reached for a Kunai
and performed a single-handed seal.
Kakashi did the same and also slipped into a fighting stance. “Uchiha
Sasuke… You’ve broken one the biggest rules of Konoha by leaving without
permission. On top of that, you’ve killed many Hunter-nins before. A traitor
like you… should be killed immediately.”
Sasuke’s answer was another chuckle, so
much like Orochimaru’s. “I quiver as I stand… Let’s end this foolish conversation
and get to the real… talking.”
“As you wish!” Sakura screamed as she appeared behind Sasuke with a Kunai to his neck.
”My Jutsu speed isn’t like you’ve witnessed…” Sasuke whispered as he slumped
down to the ground… as mud.
Sakura smirked. “And my insight isn’t like anything YOU have witnessed.”
Sasuke looked annoyed to find Sakura behind him, again with the Kunai against
his neck, several meters away from before. “Must we repeat ourselves?” He said,
sighing, as he again, slumped to the ground as mud.
This time, Sakura saw Sasuke’s foot approaching her face, but, gathering
Chakra, Sakura blocked by attacking the foot, sending Sasuke flying backwards.
“So you can predict my movements, right?! What if I don’t
look in your eyes?!” Sakura screamed and smiled at the same time.
Sasuke rolled his eyes as he landed
again. “You overestimate yourself… Even if I didn’t have a Sharingan, you’d
still be die between now and two minutes…”
”Guess again.” Kakashi whispered as he was now the one holding a Kunai to Sasuke’s
neck.
“This is my
fight, Kakashi!” Sakura yelled as she approached the duo.
Sasuke grinned as he enveloped himself
with Black Fire, effectively scorching the Kunai in Kakashi’s hand and forcing
Kakashi to jump away. Looking up to see Sakura descending towards him, he blew
out a wave of Black Fire towards her. He snorted as he saw that Sakura was
going to use Kawarimi. ‘Foolish girl… You still look into my eyes…’ And then…
his eyes widened as a power overwhelmed his own.
Power… But not equalling…
Sasuke
turned around, still wide-eyed, to see an abomination behind him.
“RAAAAA!!!” He roared, gathering a huge amount of Chakra.
Sasuke couldn’t do anything as the trees around
him, Kakashi and Sakura were wiped away. The Black Fire around his body died
down in an instant because of the Chakra and the three were sent several meters
backwards, skidding across the ground and penetrating fallen trees… ‘Wha… What is THAT?!’
Sakura nervously swallowed as she finally came to a stop and could observe what
was gathering Chakra in front of them. She immediately turned to Kakashi. “Kakashi?”
“It
seems… we have a real reunion on our hands here… Sakura… we’ve found both
Sasuke and Naruto now…” Kakashi said, still in a daze as he stared at the
monster in front of him… He recognised the Chakra around the being in front of
him as the Kyuubi’s. ‘Naruto… What happened to you?’
Dark red, Dark… He saw nothing but
standing corpses. Future corpses, his new meal… They smelled nice.
“Na.. Naruto?!” Sakura screamed. She observed ‘it’ in front of
her. That just couldn’t be Naruto. What she saw was a huge monster… Kakashi was
the tallest present, but this being clearly towered above the oldest Jounin.
Completely black eyes, but a dark red pupil and iris, dark red hair, normal red
skin, ears of a fox, yellow, sharp teeth and humongous claws. Next to that, a
huge tornado of red Chakra circled around him. “Naruto…” She whispered, and
fell to her knees…
“There’s no way you are Naruto… You’re nothing
but a monster… You look awfully a lot like someone with a Curse Seal at level
two. But I must admit… You’re powerful… But nothing compared to me… You’re
nothing but an obstacle.” Sasuke snorted as he stared at Naruto. “But I killed
Orochimaru, so you can’t be having his Curse Seal…Which means you’re something
else…”
A mouth is moving, but the sound is
worthless… Only his own mouth should be moving… only when he is eating…
Sakura’s
eyes widened as Sasuke got surrounded by Red Chakra. The scream coming out of
Sasuke’s mouth was terrible. Sakura witnessed Sasuke literally being stretched
out by Naruto’s Chakra. Sasuke hang in mid-air, as if crucified, but Naruto’s
Chakra was stretching him…
Limbs…
Kakashi immediately revealed his Sharingan and observed Naruto more
closely. “We’ve lost him, Sakura…”
“Sasuke is
mine to kill!!” Sakura screamed as she got up and threw many Shurikens and
Kunais towards Naruto. She wasn’t surprised to see Red Chakra blow all of her
weapons away. ‘Naruto… I need to save Naruto… Before I kill Sasuke, before HE
kills Sasuke.’ She turned to see Sasuke, still screaming while hanging in the
air, held up by Naruto’s Chakra. Sakura jumped towards Naruto and held one of
his hands. ‘Perhaps I can hold some of his Chakra back…’
“Sakura, no!” Kakashi screamed as he observed what she was doing. The next second,
Kakashi caught Sakura in mid-air as Naruto’s Chakra easily dealt with the
Kunoichi. “Nothing can stop him anymore… Except the Shiki
Fuuin!”
Shiki Fuuin… “Death is sealed in itself! I no
longer can be sealed, for I am already sealed!” Naruto suddenly screamed,
dropping Sasuke at the same time. “For all that have fallen, I shall fall the
hardest… without falling…”
His voice
was full of angst, but also so full of hate and anger… Sakura’s gaze softened
as she looked at Naruto. “Na-Naruto! Pull yourself together!”
Behind Sakura, Sasuke found his left arm
broken. ‘Duh-damn… Damn that monster!’ Sasuke gritted his teeth and immediately
gathered Chakra in his right hand, to heal his left arm. ‘I’ll get you…
Naruto…’
Kakashi stared at Sasuke for a second, before he turned back to Naruto. “It
is useless… Can you not see the killer intent in his eyes? We’re all doomed.”
“No!”
Sakura screamed, regarding Kakashi for the smallest of seconds. “We can save
him! This is the Kyuubi’s doing! Naruto must still be there!”
Sasuke’s eyes widened for a second.
“Kyuubi’s doing? So you’re saying the almighty Kyuubi is standing right in
front of us?!” He screamed as he rose to his feet. His left arm now completely
healed.
Both Kakashi and Sakura ignored the Uchiha. “Naruto…”
Blood is all that matters…
“Sakura!” Kakashi screamed as he tackled Sakura to the
side and received a wound from a huge Claw of Chakra across his back. He
groaned in pain as he fell before Sakura. “Sakura…” He panted. “It’s too
dangerous… Fight him, to save him. Do no talk, it’s
useless!”
Sakura
nodded her head and stared at Naruto, who wasn’t staring at any one of them…
A whisper away and a whisper closer… Silence is
all that matters… His forest should be… completely silent… Noise needs to be
eradicated!
Sasuke grinned as he held two Chidoris in both
of his palms… Two huge and very black Chidoris… of Lightning and Fire…
“Kakashi… Thanks for teaching me the Chidori… Thanks to Orochimaru, I took it
to the next level and… thanks to my own Blood, I added
an even more lethal element to it… Black Fire… No one has ever survived even
one of these!” Sasuke screamed as he ran towards Naruto.
Noise…
Sasuke’s eyes widened as he saw Naruto move in
awesome speed. He saw the next movements with his Sharingan, but it was just
impossible! Naruto was going to strike him from every corner… and at the same
TIME?! With his now fully developed Sharingan, he could also see they were no
Shadow Clones. ‘What being has that much speed?!’ Moving in high speed, Sasuke
rammed both of his Chidoris together, causing a huge vortex of Lighting and
Black Fire around him. ‘This has to work!!’
Sakura watched the huge explosion before her and could only stare in amazement.
“Naruto…” And then, she saw Sasuke flying backwards, heavily damaged across his
chest and head. As the smoke cleared, she saw Naruto standing in the centre of
the gigantic crater with a few scratches on his face.
Hurt? ….. No….
Kakashi
nodded his head as he rose to his feet and stood next to Sakura. “Amazing… His
Chakra is healing everything in seconds… And to make it more
horrible… He doesn’t seem to have wasted any Chakra at all!”
Sakura
looked puzzled at that. “What do you mean?! He’s used a lot of Chakra already!”
Kakashi
shook his head. “The story of the Kyuubi… He IS Chakra,
he is a being of Chakra and can’t run out of it, because he instantly creates
new Chakra. This being…No, I mean… Naruto… is way out of our league…”
Sasuke managed to get up and saw a completely
unharmed Naruto standing in the middle of the crater he had created. ‘I-Impossible! Even Orochimaru died when I used one, only
ONE of my strongest Chidoris on him!’ Gritting his teeth, he powered up two
Chidoris, combined with Black Fire, again. “This time, I’ll see you bleed…to
death!”
Kakashi
shook his head as he saw Sasuke repeat himself again. “It is futile… This time,
Sasuke might not be as lucky as before…”
Sasuke’s eyes widened as he was again, lifted to the air by Naruto’s Chakra…
“You’re making too much noise…” Naruto
whispered, revealing his dark voice as he approached Sasuke. “I’ll bring
silence back again…”
Sakura’s eyes
widened immensely as a huge ball of Red Chakra was formed behind Sasuke. “Kakashi!”
“Amazing…
The level of Chakra Control he has… He can form a Rasengan from a distance…”
Kakashi, impressed, let out.
Sakura
swallowed. “We… we’ll die here, won’t we?”
Kakashi
nodded. “And so the rumour lives on… No one will enter this forest… and comes
out alive…”
Sasuke’s
scream ended in seconds as Naruto’s Red Rasengan ripped him to pieces.
Silence remains… Yet, breathing remains…
“NARUTOO!!!” Sakura screamed as she ran towards him.
Kakashi
sadly shook his head. “I’m sorry, Naruto… I apologize for all of us… For
screwing you up this badly…” He appeared in front of Sakura and attacked Naruto
as well, faster than Sakura. His eyes widened as Red Chakra was all around him
in an instant. ‘His power…’ Red hardened Chakra pierced through Kakashi’s
stomach…
Sakura was
pierced with the same Hardened Red Chakra, also through her stomach, but not as
much as Kakashi. She watched Kakashi fall to the ground and followed shortly
after.
Silence remains…
She gazed
towards Naruto as he towered above her. “I… I love you… Uzumaki Naruto…”
Love is always wanting to be with someone… “I
no longer love…”
Sakura
tried to breathe, but all she did was puke out blood. And Naruto seemed to
enjoy the liquid, as he licked his lips and gazed upon her. “Nuh…Na… Naru…to!”
Above her,
she saw clouds move and white ice slowly falling down upon the
She
remembered Tsunade’s words…
“Sakura…
In some Countries this time of the year is a time to celebrate and be with
family and friends.”
If only,
things had gone different…
Perhaps
then, she could have been celebrating at this exact moment… With
Naruto…

Hey, hey!
Don’t go yelling at me that I said this was going to be a SakuNaru at the
start! Because it is!! I guess I just … forgot… to mention… that this is a ONESIDED SakuNaru!! Hope you liked it!
