Oh the hectic life in Konoha!
We meet at last!
Sasuke’s POV
I halted, as I set my eyes on the Leaf Village. A weight settled on my chest as the memories came flooding back. I shook my head, not wanting to think about that for the moment. As for now, I should be coming up with a plan not to get myself executed. I was a missing-ninja after all. With sheer determination, I coaxed my body to move forward. I glumly rethought my reasoning for coming back to Konoha.
Sneering, I wrenched my blood coated katana out of the older Uchiha’s body. I stared down at Itachi’s now dead body with a sense of pride. I had finally gotten revenge for my clan. I had tortured Itachi like the dog he was until he died. I had finally paid him back for the massacre of my clan, the Uchiha clan. After cleaning my katana, I began to walk out of the forest where our deadly fight had taken place. I didn’t make it past the tree 1 meter away from me before I collapsed.
‘The bloody bastard was hard to kill. Harder than Orochimaru anyways.’ I thought, inwardly smirking at my triumph over the snake sanin. ‘Now what do I do? I’ve killed Orochimaru and Itachi, gained more power but there is no way in hell that I’m going to revive my clan at a mere 18 years old! Hmm, maybe I could go back to Konoha, pass the years and when I’m ready, I can think of more than 2 girls who would like to help me rebuild my clan.’ I thought, smirking as an image of bubblegum pink hair and emerald green eyes flashed across my mind. ‘Oh yes, they would definitely help me with that.’ My decision made, I let my mind drift out of consciousness and let out a sigh of relief as the pain from the many wounds I had received eased. I drifted away thinking of piercing blue and shimmering green eyes. I, Uchiha Sasuke, was going back to Konoha!
I shook my head at my own stupidity. It was then that I noticed somethin…. since when did I have so many emotions? At least I had an excuse this one time; I was wounded and sleep deprived. I cleared my mind and decided to pay more attention to where I was going as my head hit a branch. Very hard. I dropped to the ground to inspect the wound. It was then that I felt it and I froze.
There was a chakra signature nearby, approaching me. I quickly placed a genjutsu around myself, knowing that if it was a Konoha ninja, that they would think I was here to attack the village. As the person came into sight, I saw a bob of red hair and green eyes. I only had time to hear a whispered “Midori me sagusu", before a flash of agony went through my back, and it took me a minute to realize that I was slammed up against a tree.
Hot breath brushed my shoulder and a voice hissed in my ear, “Nice try Sasuke-san. I know its you.” ‘What the hell?’ I thought, frozen in shock and confusion. ‘That was a first class genjutsu! Even Orochimaru didn’t see through it! Who the hell is this girl?’

Sakura’s POV
I sat in front of my mirror, giving my bubblegum pink hair one final brush before pulling it into a bun. I sighed and took one final glance at my normal reflection, before pulling a red wig over my hair. My piercing green eyes shone with excitement, as I changed from my usual training attire into normal village clothes. I was to go on a A rank mission! Just the thought sent shivers of anticipation down my spine. I always loved a good mission. Finally ready, I made my way to the Hokage tower.
‘It’s such a wonderful morning!’ I thought as I took in the clear blue skies, gentle winds and early morning cries of a few birds. All this was ruined by a shout fro behind me,
“THERE YOU ARE MY YOUTHFUL CHEERYBLOSSOM! IT’S SO YOUTHFUL TO SEE YOU UP EARLY THIS MORNING!! WOULD YOU CARE TO JOIN ME FOR A YOUTHFUL DATE ON THIS LOVELY MORNING?!" Came the booming voice of non-other than Rock Lee. I sighed. ‘Well there goes my nice, quiet morning!’ Sulking, I wondered why the guy never gave up! Even when Sasuke left the village… ‘NO!’I cried defiantly in my mind. ‘I refuse to think about the bloody bastard! I gave up on him a long time ago and I’m certainly not going to think about him now!’ Proud of myself, I thought back to when I had made the decision to give up on Sasuke.
“Naruto, I spared your life on a whim before. But now I’m going to take it on a whim.” Sasuke’s cold voice echoed through me until it finally sunk in and when he reached for his katana, I felt the hate burning inside of me! I thought of doing many torturous things to that Uchiha. ‘How dare he threaten to kill my brother figure?!’ That was when my utter dislike for Uchiha Sasuke formed.
If I ever saw the goddamned man, I would make him pay! Before I knew it, I was at Tsunade shishou’s office. My master looked up when I entered and smiled. I returned a cheerful one and after brief chatting, the information on my mission was given. “Haruno Sakura, you are given the mission to provide backup to the sand country as they are in battle. Ensure that your disguise is convincing and constantly displayed. You will be traveling as a common villager and are not to use any form of ninjutsu until you approach the battle field. Is everything clear?” the Hokage asked, obviously reluctant to send one of the village’s two best ninja out.
“Hai Tsunade-sama. I understand everything.” I replied, excitement once again my most prominent emotion.
“Very well. I expect you to return in two weeks. And Sakura, be careful.” She said, as I was halfway out the door. With a determined look on my face, I nodded and set out to complete my mission as fast as possible. I grabbed my bags and head out for the village gates. I waved goodbye to one of my close friends, Genma, and stepped out of the gates bordering Konoha.
‘I was right’ I thought, ‘Today is beautiful!’Running, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the wind rushing against my face. Big mistake! I only managed to dodge the oncoming branch by dropping directly to the forest ground. I maneuvered my body so that my landing caused no sound. You never knew what was awaiting you in the forests. I bowed to an imaginary audience as they applauded me for my successful drop. ‘Thank you! Thank you! Wait, why is one of them booing me??? APPLAUD DAMMIT YOU PATHETIC PERSON!!!’ Inner Sakura shouted. Catching myself I thought ‘I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but maybe Tenten was right. Maybe I do need therapy!’ I took a step forward and froze.
My body filled with emotion as I sensed a very familiar chakra. ‘Sasuke! What the hell are you doing here!!??’Before me stood a man with white hair and brown eyes. ‘Okay Saku! Make sure that it’s him before you do something stupid!’ I took a deep breath and focused all my chakra to my eyes. “Midori me sagusu.” I whispered, activating one of my bloodline jutsus. It could see through all types of genjutsu and locate someone by finding their chakra signals. It was like the Byakuugan, except she only had a 315 degree vision. However, she could see chakra networks well enough to know that the person in front of her was most definitely Uchiha Sasuke!
‘Ok! Now that I know that it’s him I can do something stupid!!!! I can’t believe the bastard thought that a genjutsu would fool me! He’s gonna pay for that!’And with that thought, I ran up to him, applying the years of training my speed into my task, and rammed him into the tree trunk behind him with a force that showed my current anger.
“Nice try Sasuke-san. I know its you.” I let the venom seep into my voice as I hissed my first words to him in years. I saw the shock register on his face. ‘That self centered, egotistical bastard! He didn’t even think someone could beat him! Well, we’ll see about that!’
And so the battle begins!
