The Two of Us

"H-how did you know?" Yuuki asked as he looked nervously at the female sannin.

"You exactly arrived right after my parents' death. Instead of going back here when I said I'll be on a mission for a few months, you desperately said you could wait. That alone was suspicious." Sakura said, taking Yuuki's tea cup to her own and sipped on it.

"That still didn't prove anything."

"You're right. That's why I had you take my position." Sakura smiled at him which irked the man.

"You went as far as making me head of the hospital just to prove your suspicion?" he asked in disbelief. "That's kind of dumb, isn't it?"

"Yet here we are." Sakura smirked, taking another sip from her tea before continuing, "Do you really think I would give you the position without having any surveillance on you?"

Yuuki looked at her in disbelief when realization came to him. All those times that Naruto visited him, as well as Tsunade. Shizune who was just around the clock, Temari who had her monthly check-up with Shikamaru, and of course, his visits to the Hokage Tower. All those times he didn't know that he was under their surveillance.

"Then why didn't you all put an immediate action to it?" he asked, provoked and appalled that all this time, he was played as well.

"No reasons. We're just having fun how stupid you were being not realizing that Konoha could also long-con you, Anzai." Sakura smiled again.

"That still doesn't explain how Konoha knew I was a threat." Yuuki told her.

"Hm. You're right. But the thing is, Yuuki..." Sakura leaned on the table to inch her face close to his, "...You underestimated us. Do you really think that a village where six of the sannins originated wouldn't found out about your menacing chakra?"

Yuuki gulped. He was so dead set to Sakura as his target, he forgot how refined and skilled the shinobis are in Konoha.

"You already lost the moment you stepped foot at our home. Naruto's Kyuubi sensed you." Sakura leaned back to her chair.

"But still..." Sakura smiled again, "I enjoyed our little play, so thank you for the entertainment. I mean, at least I was able to help this village before we even took you out."

Sakura stood up from her seat as she clenched her knuckles, "Well then. I sense 5 chakras surrounding your home, one is hiding in your room. Should I take them out now? Or you explain to me your purpose first?"

"Bitch." Yuuki muttered, "And here I thought I fell in love with you." he glared.

Sakura laughed. What a ridiculous statement. "Should I cry for the loss? I guess I can take you all out first."

"One VS six? You're pretty confident, Sakura." Yuuki sneered at her.

"I should be the one saying that, An-za-i." Sakura smirked before slamming her fists on the floor, creating a rumble that alerted the others surrounding his place.

Debris of his home scattered in the air due to the immense strength of her punch. Alarmed with the sudden move, Yuuki and his team decided to take cover but they were simply too slow.

Sakura immediately spotted six, large, levitating debris around her, upon noticing this, she immediately kicked it to the direction where she felt the other 5 chakras.

The debris were sent flying to their direction, hitting them as it made contact. Seeing that her plan worked, she directed her attention to Yuuki and immediately grabbed him by his collar, slamming him on the ground as the rest of the debris fell.
