"Alright that's enough for today I think that you have everything you need to know down. If you practice by yourself then you'll be a kunai throwing expert in no time!" Sakura exclaimed and Yuki puffed out her cheeks in a pout.
"Yeah but Sakura nee-chan, you'll be leaving soon." The young girl mumbled dejectedly. Sakura sighed and shook her head while putting her hands on her hips.
"Don't get so sad, I'm not leaving for ten days, and besides I'll still come visit after I leave." Yuki accepted it, but she still didn't like it.
"Alright." Sakura gave the girl a look of concern.
"I think Naruto should be getting back to the house with Uncle Tekoto now. You can probably go and annoy him now." Yuri grinned and ran to the front of the house. Sakura sighed and plopped down on the grass feeling the cool breeze against her. Winter was coming. She wanted to leave before it started to snow. Here in the mountains it was the snow was at its worst. It got really cold in these mountains durning winter, and if they stayed too much longer then they would be stuck inside and not able to train, and knowing Naruto and Sasuke, they wouldn't like that one bit. So she spoke with her aunt about leaving sometime before winter, and Yuri gave her information about some small non ninja towns nearby. Sakura was going to talk to Naruto and Sasuke and ask which village they would li-
"YOU LITTLE TWIT! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU YOU'RE DEAD!" She heard Naruto scream from the house, and suddenly Yuki ran past her giggling with Naruto not to far behind. Sakura rolled her eyes at the childish behavior. Then she smiled.
"We're not in the village anymore, which means he can act however he wants to, and he can do whatever he wants." She mumbled to herself.
"Hey." Sakura jumped and turned around.
"Oh, Sasuke don't scare me like that." Sasuke raised an eyebrow at her.
"And I thought you were a ninja." He began to taunt, to which Sakura rolled her eyes.
"I am it's just I don't have my guard up twenty four-seven like some paranoid ducks I know." She retorted. Sasuke lost the playful gleam in his eye and he scowled.
"Hn, whatever." He muttered stuffing his hands in his pockets and turning away from her.
"Aww, so wittle Sasuke can dish it out but he can't take it? That so sad." Sakura teased and a tint of red appeared on Sasuke's face.
"Hn, where are we going to go?" He asked in hopes of changing that subject. Sakura seemed to take the bait because the taunting smile on her face disappeared.
"I was actually going to talk to you and Naruto about that. Aunt Yuri gave me the names of some small villages she's been to, and I think we should check them out and enjoy ourselves while we're gone from Konoha." Sakura said looking over to Sasuke.
"Your aunt is weird." Was all he replied with making the pink haired girl laugh.
"Now you know where I get it from." Sakura smiled.
"Hn."
$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$
Minato looked over the file.
Sakura Haruno
Age: 13
Gender: Female
DOB: March 28
There was more of the regular information. He looked down at the bottom of the paper.
Parents: Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno.
Minato moved the file over and pulled out two more files.
Kizashi Haruno
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Minato scrolled through the information, trying to find something that could give evidence to his suspicions.
Former Leaf Shinobi, retired after getting married. Kizashi had one daughter and began working at a bakery.
There was nothing suspicious in Kizashi's file at all.
Mebuki Haruno
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Once again Minato skimmed through the file.
Born into a civilian family. Married ex-shinobi Kizashi Haruno and had one daughter.
Nothing suspicious. These files didn't match up with what Kakashi had told them.
Flashback
"You called Minato-sensei?" Kakashi asked as he appeared in a puff of smoke.
"Kakashi, read this letter please." Minato said passing the letter to the silver haired jounin. Kakashi nodded and his eyes quickly scanned over the paper before he looked back up at Minato. "Do you know why they would've left? Has the team been acting differently at training sessions than how the would originally act?" The joining took notice to the Missing set of parents and waited a couple of seconds before he stared answering.
"I don't know exactly why Naruto would leave, but I think I have an idea why Sakura left, but Sasuke. Well I know why he left it's just, I never imagined a kid like him would run away from his problems like that." Kakashi answered.
"Why do you think Sakura left?" Kushina asked and the silver haired man sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"Sakura would come to training with bandages around her arms or wrists and sometimes her legs. Once when Naruto asked she claimed she accidentally burned her hand while making herself dinner. But that didn't really explain the later times. She would always avoid the subject of the bandages around me, but I have a feeling that she told Sasuke and Naruto. I honestly think she's being abused." There was a pause. "Sakura tried to avoid conversation about her parents, but when she did speak about them it was always negative. I've never met them personally, but from what I've heard from what Sakura's told the team, they don't sound very nice. I would've brought this up with you sooner, but I never had any solid evidence to prove it." Minato put his elbows on his desk and nodded to Kakashi signaling him to continue. "And to answer your second question, it was like one day they were normal and the next day they were different." Kakashi admitted.
"Different? How?" Itachi inquired.
"I honestly don't know how to word this, but it was like they were just.........ready to give up."
