Sasuke and his team were walking through the woods. Suigetsu and Jugo had left the group earlier to gather information on Akatsuki. As they neared another village, Sakura was about to leave too but froze when she sensed a familiar presence. Sasuke first looked at her, then slowly turned to face the same direction she was staring at and wondered what was wrong.
"Say, Karin..." she spoke without making eye contact, "I need you to confirm that there is someone up a head..." She pointed in the direction she was staring at.
Karin wanted to protest but did as Sakura requested when Sasuke looked at her, waiting for her answer. Karin focused on the direction Sakura pointed at and did sense someone, but that person was not alone. She sensed two people.
Satisfied with her answer, Sakura began to smile. Her bloodlust showed all over her face as she slowly activated her curse mark. Sasuke noticed her and asked Karin who the strangers were.
"They are from Akatsuki. Itachi is not one of them." Sakura answered his question.
"We can use this to find Ita-"
"Don't get in my way, Karin!" Sakura yelled and glared at Karin. Her curse began to spread to her face. She looked at Sasuke and continued,
"I know you can use them to find Itachi, but don't get in my way. You remember what I told you and Orochimaru in the beginning when I joined you that I'm looking for a certain someone..." she finished before dashing towards the two Akatsuki.
Before Sasuke followed her, he ordered Karin to go and gather information about Itachi. When he caught up to Sakura, he saw the guy on the left had very long blond hair which he wore with the front drawn into a half ponytail and left the rest to hang down freely. He wore the Akatsuki cloak with navy blue pants with matching shinobi sandals. The second guy had mousy red hair with the same clothes; Akatsuki cloak with pants and matching shinobi sandals.
"My, my, saved me the trouble to look for you or the nine-tail brat, Uchiha." the blonde, Deidara, spoke.
"Hmpf, I see you didn't replace your previous puppet to disguise yourself, Sasori." Sakura spoke and looked at the red-haired guy.
"Sasori my man, who is she?" Deidara asked.
"It's that Leaf brat who destroyed my puppet, Hiruko. I'm impressed you're still alive. My poison should have killed you." said Sasori.
Much to Sasuke's surprise, Sakura didn't deny it,
"Heh, former Leaf brat. Yeah, your poison should have killed me, and it almost did. The only reason I'm standing right in front of you is because I had to inject myself with lots of different medicine. Once I recovered enough, I studied and researched all kinds of poisons and figured out that you made the poison yourself. I've waited patiently for this moment to kill you and take enough of your poison to make the antidote that will fully cure me."
"What makes you think you can make an antidote?" Sasori asked.
"Heheh, oh, I can." Sakura answered and smirk.
"Hmpf, you should have killed her..." Deidara spoke.
"Shut up." Sasori replied.
"Sasuke, I'll be fine. Leave and let me fight this guy alone," Sakura whispered, "Blondie wants to fight you. I'm sure he'll follow you. You can ask him where Itachi is..."
Sasuke nodded and left Sakura to her own devices. Just as Sakura predicted, Deidara immediately followed Sasuke.
"First I had to fight that nine-tail brat, now this..." Sasori complained.
