The girl with Pink Hair

Chapter Thirty

Sakura clinched her head as pain shot through it, shattering her seal into pieces she fell to earth from her dome. Sakura gasped as her skull was being pulled apart from inside her body. Sakura picked herself up from being dropped to the ground, she watched her hand split into multiple colors, she used too much chakra she was tired, and her body couldn't readjust to this dimension.

Sakura closed her eyes for a moment trying to calm herself, the Sand Village was strong, Gaara was a fine shinobi and could hold their own against the Reapers until she got there. Sakura felt buzzing on her leg, her phone was going off, but she had to ignore it. She knew it was most likely Naruto or Kakashi trying to get a hold of her. Sakura pulled herself to her feet as she opened a portal in front of her as it formed and was ready to be stepped through a large explosion erupted behind her. Sakura spun around, seeing the smoke floating into the air polluting the clear sky.

The leaf village was under attack.

Sakura didn't need to decide on which village to rescue today, she bolted her portal spitting as it evaporated. She ran with everything she had in the direction of the leaf village, praying she could stop the reapers before there was too much damage. She jumped over the gates of the leaf village; her feet didn't even hit the pavement as she was already investigating around her surroundings.

Sakura ran through the village; citizens were running for cover. She quickly sliced a masked reaper down before he got too close to her. Sakura rounded a corner but stopped in her tracks. Sakura's heart twisted in pain; her breath clogged her throat as she forgot how to breathe for a moment.

Sakura had seen hundreds of thousands of bodies lying on the ground growing cold. Sakura has seen her friends, her teammates and soldiers she trained all fall onto their knees as she watched their battle end. She held onto countless friends as they took their last breath and their eyes lost their shine. All off that was nothing to how she felt now, she gasped dropping to one knee beside a body.

"Hinata..." Sakura whispered her name. She looked at her friend with a heavy heart, Hinata laid on the sidewalk her eyes open looking at the sky, they were still and lifeless. Her throat had a deep gash running a crossed her flesh, blood covered her chest and stomach as well as the sidewalk. Sakura looked away as she covered her mouth, she saw Hinata's crushed phone a few feet away. Had Hinata been the person calling her? "I'm so sorry." Sakura breathed blinking her eyes as an old feeling stung her eyes. She hadn't cried in years and today couldn't be the day she breaks. Sakura rose to her feet there were still other people inside this village that needed to be saved, Sakura told herself she will come back later and bury Hinata's body properly.

Sakura had a million guesses of where to go first, she looked around trying to find Kakashi's chakra but couldn't. She cursed and decided to run towards the screaming instead. Sakura's eyes shifted into their glowing Christmas wreaths as she felt her body duplicate itself into clones identical to her fill the space around her. She needed more than one pair of eyes, we sent them through the leaf village.

Sakura was didn't have the option of pulling Carver or Raiden back and she couldn't call upon her own soldiers since they were all fighting their own war, she was the only back up the leaf village had.

The clones Sakura had summoned were not the traditional clone that she grew up learning while in the academy or while on team seven. These clones Sakura made by hand; it took her years to master them. They were special and took up a great deal of chakra which the seal gave supplied her, no one that Sakura has come across has been able to copy her clones. It was the one time where Sakura would have to use the full ability of the seal.

The clones are her army, they will run across the village getting a since of what was going on, and when there was something worth seeing Sakura's mind will be ripped away to that clone and she will see what it sees. All the while Sakura can still see and manage what she is doing in her body.
