The girl with Pink Hair

Chapter Thirty Four

"Man, she kicked your asses." A voice turned team seven around. A group emerged from the trees moving towards the leaf shinobi.

"Dawn?" Carver said seeing Sakura's second and third commanders inside the large gathering crowd.

"Where the fuck was you!?" Raiden glared holding his arms out.

"Um...being smart?" Dawn smirked.

"Huh?"

"Sakura doesn't remember placing Diem or I as her Commanders."

"Oh yeah..." Raiden muttered not having realized this would have been a thing.

"Where are you four going?" Diem stepped in.

"Um..." Sasuke looked between the two commanders. "Home?"

"Giving up so soon?"

"Well I don't see you two doing anything?" Carver crossed his arms over his chest.

"What is there for us to do?" Diem countered crossing his arms, "We can't take her on."

"And we can?"

"You have a better shot than we do." Diem rolled his eyes.

"Your first attempt failed, so you're going to give up and forget about Sakura?" Dawn questioned.

"How long did it take you to get that Uchiha back?" Diem asked Naruto, "He was a stubborn fuck, but you never gave up so why are you now?"

"How do you know-" Sasuke muttered,

"Sakura always kept tabs on the Leaf Village." Dawn answered, as a young girl no older than thirteen moved past the two commanders. Naruto remembered this girl to be Annistyn, Sakura's fallen first second in commander's daughter.

"Why are you leaving?" Annistyn asked crossed her small arms over her chest.

"What do you mean?" Naruto muttered more to himself.

"Who are you?" Annistyn ignored Naruto's question.

"What?" Sasuke asked.

"I heard you barged into Kaguya's office and demanded she give Sakura her memory back." Annistyn spoke to team seven. "Are you going to fix her or what?" She asked, her bluntness reminded Naruto a lot of Sakura.

"Fix?" Naruto trailed off.

"That isn't Sakura." Annistyn's voice was strong but hollow. "That is not the woman who took me in after my mother died. She is not the person who trained and took care of me. She doesn't even remember my mom who was her second in command! Sakura is the only family I have left, and she doesn't know who I am! What has happened to her?" Annistyn demanded to know.

"It is a long story..." Naruto muttered.

"Why are you guys leaving?" The young girl lectured them,

"Annistyn." Dawn sighed, Annistyn looked down at the ground feeling in trouble as Dawn walked up to the young girl and patted her head. "She is right-" Dawn said, "-that is not the Commander I agreed to follow. I don't understand what Kaguya has done to her and frankly I don't care. We simply just need to fix her before things here get completely out of our control."

"Do you four have any idea how to reverse what Kaguya has done?" Diem questioned team seven. "We need to fix Haruno before she revives Purgatory." The four men were taken back by the hundreds of soldiers who had collected all around them.

"That is not my Commander!" Voices called out,

"We want our Commander back!" They cheered, Naruto was stunned seeing how many people loved Sakura, she was a fantastic leader and it showed here today.
