((Occ. This topic takes place after the Chuunin exams))
Sakura walked alone through the forest walk way just by the Academy. Her now short hair was flowing in the winds as the leaves of the nearby trees raptured the path way in fron of her. Her green eyes seemed deep in thought as she walked. Things werent the same anymore, not since the Chuunin exams. That was a major turning point in not only her life but Sauskes and Narutos as well. Orochimaru was the cause of it all. Sakura clentched her fist and felt the squeeze in heart. Sauske had been acting strange eversince he wondered into their lives. It made her sick to her stomach.
Sauske was in a spiral and she couldn't take it. But there was nothing she could do. He had run off yet again and she had no idea where to find him...Perhaps that was the reason she was walking through here. She sighed and looked up to see the stone bench sitting in its usual spot. This was the place Sauske and she almost...Kissed. (Occ. Remember she had no idea that was naruto! XD)
She smiled at that. But still a hole was left in her heart. She was afraid that maybe he would go and would leave. Though she loved Sauske, she really couldnt blame him if he left. She had no idea of his past.
She sighed a heavier sigh and passed the bench. She looked to the sky to see that the sun was as bright as ever despite the situation. She let out a bitter laugh and sheilded her eyes from the sun and walked into town. She looked down once again to sudenly crash into someone...And HARD.
She fell back hittin gher head on the pavement and groaned
"Wha--What Happened??"

Naruto was walking through Kohano, he had just got realeased by Jiayira cluthches, " Finally away from that pervert" he laughed as he passed his favortie ramen shop, " Ahh for good old times" he smiled walking under the curtain and grabbing a stool. " One bowl please" he said grabbing for some Zenny in his pocket. Minutes later Naruto was dished out a giant bowl of Ramen, " Finally my Love is back" he said as he dived his chopsticks into the ramen and pulled up the strands of ramen.
" Ahh that was great" Naruto laughed throwing the cook the money, " Nothing better than Fresh Ramen" he said patting his stomach. " I wonder how the others are doing, Sakura, Sasuke, and even Kohnahamru" he said begining to smile. " I bet that kid cant wait to hear what i've done" he smirked. " I guess i can pay him a visit" he said walking out of the Ramen stand.
" This town hasnt changed at all" he smiled, " Well a bit now people actually respect me" he said grinning, " no more suffering for me" he sighed. ' I miss my freinds so much' he moaned even louder. " Alright, ill go visit them" he said running forward. Suddenly Naruto Clashed into someone, " Hay watch where you......Sakura" Naruto said kinda of scard, " Is that you Sakura" he said again.
Sasuke glared down upon the city, " I havent been here for awhile" he smirked as he had his hand on his sheath.' I wonder if the others are here, i could teach them a lesson' Sasuke thought, he walked over to the cliff were he passed at becoming a genin, " This is where it all started, where i became a genin" he said grabbing the dirt near the pole Naruto was tied on, " Well this is just an old memorie" he sighed walking to the ledge and looking down at the Village, " I wonder If everyone else has gotten stronger he said then looked at his outfit. " Good I wont be reconized to easily" he said walking up to the city gates. " Ahh the great city of fire, the Leaf Village, you offered me strength as a child but you are of no use now" he said throwing his hand aside. " But Heck, I can mess this place up" he said walking into the town.
" This is fimilar to" Sasuke said getting flashback at the steps were Kakahi sensei had asked them there dreams, desires, and wants, Sasuke stood there for a moment somewhat feeling revitalized but blowing off the past. " I had to do I had to do for stregth" he said looking at his battle scarred arm. " Even if I have to sell My soul to the devil im an avenger" he said walking up to the areana, " This place is pitful" he said touching the arena and walking away.

She rubbed her head and looked up. It tok her a moment but she could never forget that goofy grin and spiked up blonde hair...It was NARUTO! She took in a small gasp and her heart leapt up with joy. Without a word she got and rapped her arms around Naruto with a huge smile.
"Oh My God NARUTO!!" She screamed as he whirled around with her in hand.
"Sakura!! I cant beleive its you!!" He let out as he put her down.
Sakura let him go and smiled brightly. SHe ran her fingers through her hair and looked to him. She sighed almost allowing tears to fall. "Naruto! What are you doing hear? I havent seen you in ages! How are you!" she said almost out of breath.

Naruto began to laugh, " I have been under the training of Jiyara that pervert frog sage and i finally finished my training with him" he smirked widely. " I got alot of new tricks" he said looking at Sakura. ' Whoa shes alot different since I last saw her, and when did she ver hug me without getting strangled' he thought for a moment. " But its good to be back in Kohano, what brings you here Sakura, you've surely changed for the better mentally and phyiscally" he smirked widely.
"Why does he need me at such a horrible time" Zaki said sighing running past the Chunnin Testing area and heading for the Hokage's Tower, " This is the absolute worst time epsically since brothers around" he said grabbing the mark around his neck. Zaki continued to run as he froze up, " Ow no Its him Brother" Zaki stood still looking at the transformed Sasuke.
Sasuke continued to walk forward when he turned around, " Why am I being bothered by...You" Sasuke look turned into a glare. " So the rumors are true, you were out of the town during the massacre" he smirked looking at Zaki. " So hows it been brother" he said putting his hand on his sheath then placing it on his side. " I have no time for your petty games" he said walking away.

Sakura Smiled with confedence, but she blushed a little. She stepped back and looked to Naruto with a feirce yet happy gaze.
"Yeah well Tsunande's training really helped me out as a healer...But I got a few tricks of my Own." she said winking. Naruto laughed. "I came back hear to visit the family...Except....Ones missing." she said reffering to Sauske.
Naruto seemed taken aback but Sakura nodded her head and looked up with a smile. "Hahaha. Man this is great, I cant belive its been two whole years!!" she said looking back to the hokage head statues.
"Yeah...Hehehe...Those guys dont look as good with out their make up!" Naruto said jokingly.
"Oh Yeah..." Sakura just realized that the Graffiti was missing from the stone fiqures. "You always were a clown Naruto."
"Yeah..." he said mindlessly as Sakura passed him and bgan to walk toward the trainging grounds. "Hey...Wait a minute...SAKURA!!" H e screamed running after her as she laughed

*OCC: Great Job Rping you play Sakura well*
" Wait yp, You guys always left me behind" Naruto yelled at Sakura following close behind her. ' Matter of fact they left me when we passed the genin test with kakashi, when they left to go to the bridge, when they ahhh' Naruto thought and noticed he was left out alot. " You are so unfair" he said jokinly, then he smirked, " fine ill catch up to you" he said begining to make a handsign, ' Nows a great time to test my new strength' Naruto though focusing all his chakra to his feet.
" Yahh" Naruto said speeding extremly forward, he was almost in arm length of Sakura, " Im going to get you" he said laughing contining to chase Sakura.
Sasuke sighed, " This town is so useless, why do "I have to wait here" he siad moaning again hoping through the trees, " This is a fimilar site" he said looking upon the training grounds. " I havent been here in so long" he said looking around finding a kunai Naruto had left as flashback rushed into his mind. " Agh" Sasuke said shaing his head, as his ear perked, " Someones coming" he thought instinctivly hiding in the tree tops. " I wonder who it is, Orichimaru wants me to keep a low profile" he sighed.

Sakura smiled smugly. Naruto reached from her shoulder but in an instant she vanished. Naruto nearly fell face forward, but continued on ward. He kept an eyes out she could be anywhere...That was somthing she couldnt do before. He felt a sense of pride that she had improved.
Sakura laughed again after appearing next to Naruto and sticking her tounge out at him. "Nah-Nah!" she let out running ahead.
"Oh you wann be that way huh?!" Naruto sped up staying just a bit off arm length from her
The two swung frm tree to tree laughing, shouting to one another. Naruto jumped to the air as Sakura backfliped to the open feild. Naruto was airbound and lunged for Sakura, but she was quick and dodged. Naruto caught his balance and turned to see Sakura smiling her playful smile.
Sakura was filled with joy, she could remember her, Naruto, Kakashi and Sauske doing this for hours at a time...Suposidly training but really they were only haveing fun.
Naruto Lunged for Sakura a second time catching her off guard. The two fell and rolled over laughing at one another. Naruto began to tickle Sakura and she laughed harder.
"Ok I give!!" Sakura said in a gigle.
"Yeah i thought so!" He said smugly. The two sighed and looked around. They found themselves at the Forset of Death.
Sakura sat up "Hey...Naruto look." she said pointing to the gate.
This was were the begining of it ALL. When Sauske met Orochimaru...Where the finals were....It was all here.

Naruto smiled but it quickly turned into a frown. " Yes, it is, where it all began" he said thinking about Sasuke. ' Why did all this had to happen' he thought to himself, he looked over to Sakura who was looking at the old and fimilar scenery. " To think I passed the Test without answering a single question" he said laughing. " I was so screwed then, but now its a different story" he said looking at his hands. ' I can control the beast inside' he thought thinking of the Demon Fox, " Thanks to Kabuto we didnt fail the second one, and I beat Neji to a pulp" He said smirking wide.
Naruto contunied to look around, but his eyes drifted back to Sakura, " I wonder where he is" he said looking right at her. Sakura knew what he meant, they all did. " He's clouded to much by his own ambition" he said standing up. " We need to save him from himself" he said looking down at Sakura's eyes. ' Or he'll end up dying by all his powers" he said looking at his hands again, ' I got to be more careful using the fox's chakra now, I should tell Sakura about the Fox, but not now' Naruto thought sadly looking at Sakura.
" This place brings back to many painful memories" Naruto said turning away from the train grounds. " Its nice to visit the past, but not if its painful" he said knowing what he said was true, rembering his past, how he was ttreated like dirt, and how he acted all tough but it never helped it only made it worse. " I vow to never let that happen again" Naruto said bluntly clenching his fist.
Sasuke looked over to Naruto and Sakura, to his amazment it was really him, " Its them, what are they doing here" he said looking at Naruto angerly, Sasuke continued to listen as Naruto stood and vowed, " To save me, i dont need the saving you do, your the weak one Naruto" he said looking at him with disgust. ' To think you held ground with me, no more, I much stronger than you and will prove it' Sasuke thought disappearing.

Though it was painful Sakura smiled and looked to Naruto. H was right, but Sakura ran out of tears to cry long ago. She stood up and gently placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder. He looked to her and her asuring smile. He smiled a small smile. The feelings he had for her a long time ag o sudenly sparked again.
"Its Painful...But it was because of Sauske that we became stronger...Because of him we promised ourselves we wouldnt end up like him...." Sakura felt the pain in her heart again.
She still smiled as the trees whispered with the passing wind. "...Even though I toatlly think Sauske was wrong, I fiqured out a long time ago that he needed to find his own way....And I admited to myself, that even if I gave him all the Love in the world, to him it still wouldnt have been enough reason to stay...."
Naruto could see the pain and agony in her eyes, But she still smiled. Sakura sighed and looked over to the gates. She sighed once more before looking over to Naruto with a grim look.
"I didnt come here to visit Naruto..." she said solomly. She reached into her pocket and took out a letter that had been crumpled . The ink ran down the page as if it was wet but th seal had the seal of the sound village.
""He" Sent me here." she said slowly.

" You bastard" Naruto yelled out socking Sasuke across the face as he was exiting the training grounds, " Why the hell did you do that to us" Naruto said angered. " You......You are such an idiot" Naruto said kicking Sasuke only to have Sasuke grab his foot.
" Not so soon" Sasuke said focusing his chakra to his feet and smashing Naruto into the ground. " Your still weak, even after two years, you cant do anything Naruto" Sasuke said unsheathing his Katana. " You should die, your worthless" Sasuke said as Naruto eyes just whited and and a shiver struck him.
" Worthless" Naruto said weakly, " Worthless..." Naruto said again but stronger and louder. ' Im not worthless, i may not be the strongest ninja, i may not be the best, i may not be the coolest, but if theres one thing i know i am its not worthless' Naruto though jumping back up and focusing his chakra in his fists and began to beat Sasuke up.
" Not gonna work you fool" Sasuke said as he slowly began to slide back from the force of Naruto punches. ' This is such a waste of time, why did i have to run into him' Sasuke thought as his Sharnigan activated. " Get out of my way, useless" Sasuke said backhanding Naruto across the face sending him skidding across the ground rolling into a tree. " Time to end this" Sasuke looked at Naruto who has bleeding all over, " Chidori" Sasuke said as the chakra in his plam began to form.
Naruto was lying there coughing out blood, " Darn you got strong" he said looking at Sasuke with one eye. ' This aint good' Naruto looked at Sasuke who was beging to create a massive ball of chakra. ' Hay Kybui time for some Rent payment' he thoguth as the red chakra flowed around him, " Ôdama Rasengan" Naruto ylled jumping up as a ball of chakra formed in his hand. " Lets do this" Naruto smirked looking at Sasuke who smirked back. " Im stronger this time I wont lose" he said charging Sasuke.
Naruto and Sasuke attack collided at the same time, the massive amount of chakra from the attack, sent both of them flying into the feild where Sakura was, the shadow clone that Sakura was talking to poofed away. " Darn you've improved" Sasuke said gettign up and running away.
" Not so fast" Naruto said throwing a Kunai right into Sasuke leg. " You want leave this village without fighting me' he said watching Sasuke disappear. " Hes to injured to get to far now" he said collapsing and blacking out.

Sakura looked to the exit of the traing grounds and clentched her fist. 'd**n that Naruto!' she thought as she ran. She was fast, faster than before. It didnt take her long to see who he was fighting. Sauske. She froze, feeling numb as her anger rised. The two were strong, each had their blows and they were just the same, two hot headed rivals with no sense of restraint.
She rushed in just as Naruto fell. Sauske tripped bleeding as he let out a gasp of pain. He grunted in anger as he picked up the Kunai and aimed for Naruto's throat. Sakura lunged forwd and blocked it. The kunai peirced her right shoulder. She flinched but kept her empty stare to him. Sauske was slightly suprised.
Sakura smiled bitterly and removed the Kunai and tossed it aside. "Its gonna take more than that to kill me Sauske." she said in an empty voice.
She tossed the letter to him. "Im here...Just like your master requested..." she said turning away to Naruto.
"Idiot...You should have told me he was near by." she said in a whisper.
She turned back to Sauske who was up now glaring at the two of them.

' Im taking over for now, and you have no say in the matter boy' a voice echoed in Naruto head. ' No my freinds are here, I cant let you go right now' Naruto shouted in his mind. " You cant resist me" Kybuui said as Naruto sheer will was keeping him at bay. " Sakura move" Naruto yelled out as his eyes opened, Sakura looked at him as she noticed his eyes were flickering, normal then to an eye of a fox, " Not now" Naruto said as more of the chakra encircled around him.
Sasuke thought for a moment, ' Master never told me anything about recruiting or using her'. " What Orichimaru! He sent you what did he want" Sasuke glared at Sakura with no emotion. ' Something not right' he thought senseing the area quickly. " Why would he send her here when hes not here, he pridicted my movement, crazty lunatic' Sasuke thought smirking. " I dont got time for you weaklings" he said looking at his bleeding knee. ' Darn that Naruto that went deep.' he said looking at Naruto who had chakra encircling him now.
' Darn it' Naruto yelled inside his mind as his psyche was taken over, hsi eyes full switched to the demons eyes. " Thats better" he said as his body transformed, " Much better, im sick of being trapped in this brat" Kybuui said as he jumped up and saw Sakura. " Die" he yelled as his claw like hand went slashing at Sakura's face. ' Noooooooooo' Naruto yelled inside his mind as the fist had stopped as it had hardly began to slash Sakura. " Move....Sakura....Now.." Naruto yelled as loud as he could looking at Sakura bleeding face. A tear ran down his face, " Im sorry, but move" he yelled as Kybbui took over again. " Fool" he said slashing at Sakura but she dodged this time.
Naruto smashed into Sasuke sending him flying into buildings. ' Stop it i didnt give you the right to take over my body' Naruto said as he began to flucurate control between him and the fox. Naruto was back in control, " Im sorry" he said dropping to his knees. ' Why inside of me' he thought looking at his bloody hand. Naruto looked up were Sasuke landed but he was gone.

Sakura rushed to Naruto. He stood on his knees and stared to his bloody hand. She sighed, and took him hand, and placed it on a scrol she took out from her belt. She opened it, created a sereies of hand signs and to Naruto's amazment his wounds healed. She did her shoulder next and sighed a heavy sigh.
"By Now Sauske probly long gone..." she said getting up and lending out her hand to Naruto. He took it without hesitation, and glared to her.
"Sakura...Whats going on?" he asked sternly.
Sakura looked up and sighed giving him a grim look. "I didnt come here to visit...Orochimaru sent me here."
"Orochimaru!! Since when do you tak orders from HIM!?" He raged.
Sakura looked up. "Yeah...Orochimaru wants to see how he "performs"...." she said sadly.
"Arggggg WHY!! Is this another one of his SICK games?!!" Naruto yelled.
"Probly...But thats not all....He...He...Kidnapped Tsunade, and if I dont ...."Fight"....He'll KILL her." she said as she centched her fist...A long silence came over them.

' Great, and he could capture my pervert' Naruto laughed in his mind. ' Your lucky you have a strong will boy, no other mortal would be able to hold me back, you must like her alot' Kybuui said from behind the gate. " Sakura....I promise to help you" he said looking directly at Sakura eyes. She looked at him and saw that same old determination.
" When I become Hokage, there will be no fighting" he said looking at his fist. " I will end all fighting and I know how" he said contining to look down. " Sakura..I promise to protect you" he said standing up again, then turning around to see Sakura expression.
" Darn it Naruto" Sasuke moaned standing ontop of a building. " He knew exatcly where to strike to" he said looking at his leg. " Right in the primary muscle" he said as he hardly could walk at that. " Ill have to say here for now" he said moving forward.
" Thats all he wanted to tell me Aria and Hinata were back, they could have came and told me that themselves" he said slighly ticked as he reached for his neck. " Back again" Zaki said looking around. Zaki focused his chakra to his feet and jumped into the air, flying right infront of Sasuke. " There you are" he said flying forward and landing behind Sasuke. " Whats wrong with you" he said looking at his bleeding knee. " And your going to kill me, you have a better chance to die then i Do, sibnce your vunarable" he smiled. " Well since Aria arriving i cant stay and have our brotherly quarells, so see you later Sasuke" Zaki said running forward.

Sakura smiled. She had missed that ray of hope Naruto was able to inspire. He stood up sighing and looking out to the city. He knew that Orochimaru was up to no good yet again...Buut why involve Sakura? Or Tsunade? This seemed outta hand, and no doubt Sauske wasnt here alone. Sakura let out a grunt as she looked over to Naruto. He knew what was going through her mind. She was fighting with herself...To save Sauske or Tsunade.
Sakura nodded it off and looked to the city once again. "Naruto...." she said almost in a whisper
"...Sakura...I promise We'll find a way to--"
"Thank you." she said cutting him off. "But I want you to promise me you wont get hurt." she said sadly.
Naruto paused for a minute and smiled his goofy smile. It made Sakura smile. "Get Hurt?! Ha! I wouldnt let someone like Sauske get the better of Me!!!" he said thingyy.
Sakura merely smiled. 'Hehe. He still the same Hyper active knuckle headed Ninja I knew 2 years ago.' she thought to herself.
"Well Naruto we should be getting to buisness...Oroshimaru is up to something and we gotta find out what." SHe said sternly.
"Mmm-Hmmm," Naruto said nodding.
"Sauske is our Friend...Our Comrad...Our Problem..." she. Naruto smiled and the two set off leaving the traing grounds and back into the city.
