summary: AU-ish scenario. Sakura has found out about Danzou's involvement with the Uchiha massacre and while her master is still in a coma, the Haruno decides to act.

A hood covered her pink head as she stood still in that dark, frozen night in the middle of a forgotten village in the Iron land, miles away from home. The streets were empty due to the harsh winter and folks were long immersed in their dreams, completely unaware of the ominous plot being developed in a dark alley nearby. Her feet were leaving white footprints on the snow below her, and as she glanced down at her feet, Haruno Sakura could feel his harsh, dusk eyes on her.

Cold, lifeless and filled with hatred, much like the winter striking that forgotten land. Those were the eyes of Uchiha Sasuke.

And even if she would normally feel threatened by them— even if she should feel threatened by them— at that very moment, the pinkette couldn't care less, for long gone were her innocent, frightened years.

Long gone was the good girl who once cared.

He was standing just a couple feet across from her, with his back pressed against the hard bricks of an old structure. His arms were crossed over his chest, and his glare only intensified with the time, as the raven-haired boy was clearly not happy with the unexpected reencounter. Of all people he could've imagined showing up around that frozen land, Sakura was definitely not on the list. He never thought she would actually travel so far away from home just to come and meet him in such a suspicious way.

He never thought she would actually come after him, especially not with that request.

No, not Sakura.

"I want him dead."

Her words were emotionless and he noticed how her expression didn't change at all when they left her lips. Her body didn't move, her breathing pattern didn't change and the Haruno girl showed no hesitation when her emerald eyes finally met his charcoal ones. They were filled with hatred, he could see. They hungered for a blinding revenge in the same way his did, and even if she has grown stronger to save lives as a medical ninja, Sasuke could see that her healing hands were in search of blood.

His blood. "I want Danzou dead."

At her declaration, the Uchiha could feel his suspicious stare settling a bit. Due to the current political scenario of Konoha, the pinkette could easily go to jail just for saying such things about the man who was now the Hokage. If they found out she had actually travelled to the Iron land in order to join Sasuke— a nukenin on his way to destroy the village— to make her words real, chances were she would be sentenced to death as a traitor, and her name would forever be stained by her shameful actions. She had a lot at stake for her words to be just a stupid lie.

Her past, her present, and her future. Sakura could lose it all, hence there was no way her words were just another attempt on taking him back to the village.

No. Sakura is smarter than that. She wouldn't underestimate his deduction abilities, especially not when it was clear that his eyes could read her like an open book even after all those years. He has always known when she was lying, and at that time, he was certain she was telling the truth.
