“Sakura!” The voice brought Sakura out of her reverie, it sounded so familiar, but it couldn't be.

 

“oi! Sakura!”

 

`Naruto…?' she was so tired, but the voice broke through her haze and pushed her forward, slowly bringing her back.

 

“Open your eyes Sakura!” her eyes? She had long since lost those. Naruto knew that, he had been there when it happened, unable to do anything to stop it. This was a nightmare. She would be haunted by his voice forever.

 

“Sakura chan! I'm really worried please wake up.”

 

Before she could ponder this statement two hands grabbed her by the shoulders and violently shook her, this completely destroyed her trance. Her body shot up into a standing position, suddenly the world was full of brightness, light and color. She fell onto her knees with a cry and covered her eyes `her eyes!?” yes she felt them, slick orbs. She hesitantly opened them, and looked around. Her pulse was going haywire, her eyes like a newborns darted around in every direction, her brain unable to comprehend the bombardment of information. It had not seen for thirty years. She fell onto her side as a wave of nausea struck her. Sensory overload, She remembered reading about it in a medical journal when she been a mere Chuunin. She racked her mind trying to think of how to fix it. Slowly she closed her eyes. `Did the Jutsu restore my eyes?' she pondered this possibility briefly; she had no clue what the Jutsu was capable of. `Sasuke, where is he?' She felt out with her chakra sensing, a few shinobi in the area, non that matched Sasuke's unique evil blend.

 

“Over here sensei, she just fell down and wouldn't wake up, I think she's dead!” The voice from before, young she realized. Hesitantly she squinted her eyes open, like sudden light after your eyes have adjusted to darkness, they watered and blurred her vision painfully. She sensed more then she saw an older man and a boy approach her. Her vision allowed her to see the vaguest features. She could see the yellow hair of the young boy and the shinobi vest of the man. `A leaf nin? I thought they were almost all dead. Where am I?' She sat upright and wiped at her eyes a little, attempting to clear her vision.

 

“hmmm, Naruto she doesn't look dead to me!” her eyes beginning to see more clearly, saw his white hair. `Naruto?' She quickly looked to the boy, blinking her eyes rapidly in an attempt to get a good look. `He's too young! Too young to be Naruto, coincidence nothing more' the semblance was uncanny.

 

“Mizuki-sensei she was dead I'm sure of it!” The boy flailed his hands dramatically “She fell down and didn't get up?” A pout crossed, his dirt covered face “Isn't that what happens when you die?” The once called Mizuki, rolled his eyes lightly ignoring the young boys question. Mizuki, the name sounded familiar then again it was a common Fire country name, but this could not be fire country she was in. She looked around her environment, buildings stood high, a river flowed a few feet away from where she lay, and trees and lush grass surrounded the area. No fire country did not look like this anymore. She sighed heavily and looked to the one called Mizuki, avoiding the gaze of the one called Naruto, he reminded her to much of the Naruto she knew, and couldn't stand too look upon him anymore. Finding her voice she finally asked.

 

“Could you please tell me what country we are in?” she smiled peaceably “It seems to have faired the warring well” her voice didn't sound right, something was wrong with it. She looked at the one called Mizuki who stared at her like she had said something ridiculous.

 

“Warring?” He let out a soft chuckle as he cuffed her lightly on the chin “Sakura did you hit your head when you fell?” Crouching on his knee's he started to examine her carefully “As if you didn't know your own country fire, oh well!” He said amiably “Naruto run and get a medical nin I'll begin to assess her here” He didn't notice the impact his words had on Sakura whose face held an expression of shock.

 

`Impossible! Fire was burnt to the ground!' She looked everywhere hoping to find an answer or a way out of this dream. “Kai!” the Deactivation Jutsu did nothing to help, not that she expected it to. She would have felt a Genjutsu of that level instantly.

 

“Sakura what's wrong” Mizuki had a frown on his face, as he watched perform the deactivation Jutsu. She ignored his question and continued to search for answers. She looked towards the water, and then something made her gasp in shock. She could see her reflection in the water, but what looked back at her couldn't possibly be right. Her image in the water portrayed the face of a young girl. A girl she hadn't been for at least thirty years, but it was her alright; years without sight had not made her forget her own appearance. Her breathing sped up as realization crept into her mind. A wave of dizziness struck her. Laughter escaped her lips as she fell backwards, nausea made her cramp up and shudder on the ground but still she continued to laugh even when her voice went horrid she continued to laugh with all her might at the awful joke that had been played on her. “You bastard” She screamed “You brought me back!” What came after was a blur.

 

“Haruno! Hold on help is on the way!” She heard the voice but couldn't respond the world started swirling then once again she lost consciousness that day.

 

`This has to be some horrible joke' Being back in the past, seeing that place that so was so safe, before everything went wrong, `The Jutsu must have failed and Sasuke put me in this dream to torture me.' To see again, she had not allowed herself to think of sight for a long time, she had not allowed herself to miss it. She had adapted grown, she became feared and known without it. `This would be the perfect form of torture.' The more she thought about the less she believed it. Blindness had been what made the Uchiha wary of her in the first place; he had no power over those without sight. He could not put her in a dream world without eye contact. That she knew of. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

 

“… seems to have… suggest… were her parents…” the sound of voices brought her back to her current state. She had learned from years of blindness to assess her situation without any need of visual data, so she sat still as possible and modified her breathing to sound as if she were sleeping. A ninja lesson learned fairly early on at the academy was to fake sleep. She tried to pay closer attention to what she guessed what a medical nin.

 

“Strange, the body is perfectly fit but the brain has undergone massive trauma.” The voice gave away little of the character, sounded young. She tried to listen intently but had a difficult time keeping focus. This sensation felt familiar but couldn't place the problem. “There is no visible damage to the skull.” The doctor let out a frustrated sigh, she felt his chakra reach out encompass her body.

 

“Have you located the source of the disturbance?” another more aged voice asked.

 

“Yes I've tracked the disturbance to the Hippocampus it seems to have been overloaded, my guess is some sort of repression Jutsu was used on her when she was younger, the only excuse I can find for such an influx in the memory base.” The chakra left her body slowly leaving her feeling depleted and empty.

 

`Hippocampus, that's an area in the brain responsible for memory' she hadn't been a medical ninja for a lot of years, but retrieving the information was still difficult and left her with an intense headache. she tried to think of what else the Medical nins said but realized she couldn't remember, the information had leaked through. `Something's wrong.'

 

“Very astute reasoning is there anything else of note about this patient?” the voice was very calculating; he was searching for a specific answer. `He's probably a teacher of medicine.'

 

“She's a Haruno isn't she?” the younger sounding one asked tentatively to the other. She heard the sound of papers moving.

 

“Yes, can you tell me how you came to that conclusion?” He responded quietly

 

“Just look at the Corpus Callosum, I heard about this unique trait in training, simply amazing. Can you imagine the personality rift this could bring out?” The young doctor sounded in awe as he continued his assessment “The Haruno clan is known for a certain genetic defect that effects the development of the chakra coils this oddity in development leads to pressure building up in the tensuke point thirty-six, the area directly above the hemisphere. This pressure has been known to eventually divide the Corpus Callosum, leading to separate identities. This is what the Haruno clan was especially known for.” He listed off these facts, as if reading from a textbook. Sounded like a fairly young medical nin, but what he said struck a cord. `I've been brought back to my body before, before everything happened, my mind is still divided!' this brought a sick feeling to her stomach.

 

“You've done your homework, good work Tokom-san, yes the Haruno clan is known for this specific trait, which is why they were used in long term spy mission back in the feudal war. They were able to build entire new lives without heeding there mission. What else do you know about it?”

 

“If I remember correctly they were never able to merge the two hemispheres successfully, and most of the clan ended up dying because of some sort of identity confusion.” The one called Tokom said the last part hesitantly, he had done his homework. `If my mind is still severed that means, my parents are still alive'

 

“Not just any sort of identity confusion, most were eventually driven mad and lost control of their ability to reason. Little is known on what exactly went wrong but in the end they had to be eliminated.” She heard the Tokom suck in a breath of shock at what had been implied.

 

`If my mind is still divided, then I haven't killed them yet…' with that final thought Sakura, fell back into her subconscious, now noticing the dark that hid in the back of her mind. They had learned to work together in the future, but at this moment she felt like she might as well be housing a demon. `I'm capable of so much more now than I was before, I have to stop this somehow, I can't lose control with the power I have now' but `stopping this will change the future…' The future. The precious timeline she hadn't thought about in actuality until now. She was really here in her younger body, the Jutsu Naruto had created did more than she anticipated, it gave her a second chance. The future that exists now is not worth saving, `I have to try and change things.' She remembered thinking many times over the years how she wished she could change things, this opportunity seemed too good. Nevertheless the fact that she was here meant the future was already changed. She had altered these doctors' lives by lying on this table and Naruto and Mizuki's by collapsing in front of them. These events had not happened in the original time. The consequences of such a simple change could be devastating. She had to be careful. She had to plan her changes. She had to kill her parents.
