Chapter 32: Sakura's New Beginning

Sakura POV

I was at the training grounds practicing my moves with Tsunade till I heard someone yelling my name.

"Sakura-chan!" I turned to see Naruto and Hinata running towards me. "Sakura-chan you won't believe it!" he said as he came towards me and Tsunade.

"What is it Naruto?" I was a little bit curious to see why Naruto was more exciting than usual. "Well pervy sage invited me to go on another trip with him. Isn't that awesome!" I nodded.

"That's cool Naruto you must be really excited to go." he nodded but his face turned to confusion. "Hey Sakura how come you don't call me any nicknames anymore also to Hinata and Sasuke?" I frowned for a split second before waving it off.

"Sorry I've just been really busy with training and stuff and I've just got used to calling you guys by your regular names." I know the was a lame excuse but Naruto bought it and Hinata just nodded.

"Now if you can excuse me, I have training to do." I said and nodded towards Tsunade.

"Sure, bye Sakura!"

He left with Hinata leaving me and Tsunade alone and went back to training. At the end of the day, me and Tsunade were tired.

"Well done Sakura, your chakra control is remarkable!" Tsunade praised at my abilities.

'Thank you sensei, I worked hard in controlling it."

"Meet me here tomorrow for more training."

We left for our separate ways, not knowing that we were going to have an unexpected visit with two Akatskui members.

Third POV

The next day, Naruto and Jiraiya had set off for their trip. While Sasuke was walking in the village he had heard an uncalled for conversation between two villagers.

"Did you hear, Itachi is in the village, with another partner?"

"Yeah, I heard that he had come for the demon inside that Naruto boy."

"Such a shame that he had that thing sealed in him, people didn't like him."

"Who cares, that boy was nothing but trouble anyway."

Sasuke who heard this ran to look for Naruto, he though that if he found him that he would find Itachi as well. He checked all the area that he thought Naruto would be, but couldn't find him.

Sasuke ran to Sakura's home and pounded on the door. He was freaking out his brother, the man that ruined his life was here and was after his friend.

Sakura ran to her door to see an exhausted Sasuke and panting.

"Sasuke"!

He looked up and grasped her shoulders gently but still in a hurried motion.

"Sakura where is Naruto?!"

"I don't know; go look for him, wait he's with Jiraiya."

Sasuke took off to look and Sakura followed hiding her chakra so he won't notice her.

When they found the area where they were, they saw Itachi and Kisime.

"Itachi!" yelled Sasuke

"Well, if it isn't little Sasuke, still think you can beat me?" he said chuckling.

"YOU WILL SUFFER FOR WHAT YOU DID, NOW DIE!" He did his chidori and charged at him.

Itachi grabbed him by the neck and slammed him to the wall. He was getting ready to use his sharingan but was stopped when a fist with chakra punched him the face. He dropped Sasuke as soon as he was punched and was sent flying into the wall.
