Butt naked

Sakura was anxious, Naruto and Yamato had suddenly disappeared in a blinding light. She had wanted to go after her teammate but Sai stopped her. "Why did you that?!" she snapped in anger. "It would do us no good if we all were to go missing," came the reply. "It doesn't matter. He's my teammate, we're supposed to stick together," she shot back. "Naruto is with Yamato and you're with me. We're all teammates so what's the problem?" he said. She stared at him. "It's not the same with you. I've been with Naruto since forever. It's different when I'm with you. We became a team just yesterday," she replied with a frown. "If I remember correctly, it's been almost four months since we became a team," he spoke. "Same thing," she said. She looked around the area. They were in the thousand-year old city ruins, the city of Roran. From what she observed from the ruins, the city had been formerly a beauty. The towers were tall and majestic but otherwise in poor condition.

She sighed. She didn't like the thought of separating with Naruto, even Yamato. Sai was emotionally clueless. Having a conversation with him was kinda straining. It wasn't his fault though. Root made him that. She sighed again. "What's the matter, Ugly?" he asked. Her eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "I'm gonna take a walk around, let's regroup here in an hour," she told him. "Are you sure it's safe to split up?" he asked her. "As long we're in the same area, there's no issue. We just have to make sure to be in contact with each other," she explained. "How?" She pondered for a moment. "Make an ink rat or something. I'll walk around with it," she replied. He nodded. He took out his scroll and drew on it then the creature came to life. It was a small bird, it looked more realistic than of his other ink creatures. "This one is long lasting and doesn't disintegrate as easily as my other drawings. I can also use it to track you and vice versa. It increases in size whenever need arises. Just channel chakra to it with the Ram handsign, it'll do the rest," he explained as the bird flew and rested on her shoulder. She petted it and it cooed in return. It was useful, very useful if she ever got in danger. "Thanks Sai, that was very thoughtful of you," she said with a smile. Sai stared at her and blinked sluggishly. "You look pretty when you smile Ugly," he stated with one of his fake smiles. He made an effort for it to look real though. "You can't use the words 'pretty' and 'ugly' in the same sentence," she said as she facepalmed.

The two split and she took the west side whilst Sai took the east side. She walked aimlessly, admiring the beauty of the artefacts there. She went back to where Naruto and Yamato had disappeared. The place looked like it had been on the receiving end of Lady Tsunade's fist. It seemed to be a very special room from what she could pick out. She went to the centre which had been covered by a large part of the ceiling. Using her chakra laden hands, she lifted the ceiling and threw it to the side revealing part of an all too familiar seal. "This is the Regenerative Healing Jutsu seal," she breathed out. She moved the debris around her finally revealing the seal fully. 'But what's it doing here? Was it a medical room of sorts?' she thought. "I wonder if it works," she spoke as she took out her chakra blade. It was long, resembling a kunai but without the ring at the end. She chanelled chakra to it and slashed it across her left forearm, biting down the pain. She put away the blade then activated her medical chakra. 'Here goes nothing,' she thought as she placed her hand on the seal. The last thing she remembered was berating herself for being stupid to activate an unfamiliar seal despite it being familiar before she felt she was sucked through space and time.

She woke up with a pounding head and a severe case of nausea. 'I feel like I had a hangover,' she thought with a groan. Her chakra reserves were depleted, there was barely enough for her to be conscious, not even to heal a paper cut. She stood up with a groan. She was alone and in a different room, it was like a bedroom. "This room probably hasn't been used in a decade or so," she thought out loud as she eyed the dust covering the bed and furniture. She placed a hand on her waist as she pondered what to do next. She was in an unfamiliar territory, half of her team had disappeared to God knows where and her other teammate was somewhere in the ruins. He had warned her not to separate but she had been stubborn. Something felt off, her clothes weren't this soft, she thought as she felt her waist, and the room was a bit chilly. She stared down at herself to find herself butt naked. She screamed.
