Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ El Dorado ❯ Virtue's Obsession ( Chapter 1 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Author's Note: Alright before I begin, I want all of you to know that I really, really, really, hate Sakura. But I promised Nu and a few other's that I would not bite her head off, bash, or do anything to offend the people that like her, I am gonna be nice. Just wanted to let all of you know that, now on to the Fic. (In case you guys have not noticed this is KAS talking, just so you know.)

Warning: As all the other Fics are or are going to be this one contains lots of reflecting. Since this one is about Sakura it will be mostly revolving around Sasuke, like when they were in the same school, team, and after he left. So I just want to say this could get a bit depressing depending on how I am feeling, and it might contain a little bit of romance due to Sakura's little..."Obsession".

Always remember...Being patient is always a virtue...

'A virtue to what?' thought a pink haired girl bitterly. 'Okay that was a little uncalled for...' Indeed it had been, but she thought she had a pretty good reason to be bitter. It was not because a certain blonde was getting on her nerves, but she felt as if something important slipped through her grasp. Then again the person that had she thought she had was never anyone's, a caged bird that had no owner. He was forever planned to be caged, for the ones who tried to keep him there feared of the consequences of his escape.

Always feared that the last remaining family member of the legendary Uchiha's would escape, spread his wings and fly, one day to return and unleash his anger upon it's ex-keeper. But the prized Phoenix did get free and nobody seemed to care, except a handful that knew the bird. Sakura could not remember when the promises were made, saying that they would get the boy to return, to many years had passed. Over those years the new team and her had tried to get him to come back, but he was to far gone.

His beautiful black and crimson wings had been spread for far to long, never to be folded back again. Over the years of the boy not returning the people of Konoha's fear showed more and more every passing month. At first they thought of the boy as a mere weapon, but views changed. As she looked into the eyes of her people, her fellow ninja, she saw what they tried to hide. She was a bit surprised and hurt at she saw at first, but now it did not faze her. What all of their eyes showed was something filled with hate, disgust, the familiar look of fear and knowing. Hate and disgust was caused by the feeling of being betrayed, and being betrayed was something they had expected, thus the look of knowing.

Fear of course was easy, they thought the younger Uchiha would surpass the older one and to prove it he would wipe out the whole entire village. Trying to stand up for the raven haired boy was long given up on. Reflecting upon all this made the girl think of the slightly less stressful and more innocent days at the academy. She let a smile grace her features as she remembered the quiet and seemingly unpurterbed boy. It had taken her quite a long time to notice the boy though, because being teased about her extremely high forehead kept her from seeing him. After that faze of her life had faded, she could see more clearly of what was around her. She then took sometime to stop and study a certain perfect boy. He could do almost everything that the others seemed to be only learning about...He became one of her rare unhealthy obsessions.

Later to be teamed up with him and the class clown was not something she had expected. But nothing could make her trade all of her memories with team seven. Not even the odd chance of it possibly bringing Sasuke back to all of them. She preferred to think of him as a friend than an enemy. What he had done by leaving the village made her feel sad, but if leaving made him happy, all she could do was hope that he remained that way.


"Now that that the person you obsessed over for years is gone, now what?" A blonde girl asked as she sat down next to her friend. The emerald eyed girl was sitting on a bench at the park, just staring out into the distant sky. Anyone that knew Sakura well enough would be able to tell she was thinking about the missing-nin.

"Obsessed?" She questioned almost sadly.

"Yeah, obsessed would be the right word. You never really did stop talking about him and could hardly take your eyes offa' him." She smiled looking to the sky. "So I just had to ask."

"Who knows...I want to go looking for him, but Naruto is off training with Jiraiya and all I can do is wait until he returns."

"Why don't you train also, after all you are pretty weak."

"You are one to talk Ino-Pig!"

"Heh, whatever..." Ino stood up and began to walk away. "You might be able to get Tsunade to teach you a few things..."

"Training?" She watched as Ino nodded before turning out of view. "Well it is something to do while trying to pass the time..."

Three long years passed of rigorous training, not a moment passing that she did not think about the two boys. 'They always got stronger while I stayed the same...I need to show them that I can do better, that I am not useless!'

Shortly after the noisy blonde returned they set out to save Gaara of the Sand and look for Sasuke. Once they found the boy, he was not the same. He had tried to kill both Naruto and her, if it was not for Sai and Yamato they would not be alive today. He had every intention of killing them, if one of them failed to protect the other, it would have been the end for someone that day.

To see her love escape through her grasp the second time was even more painful than the first. Naruto and her felt it while the others could not. All these years she had been patiently awaiting for the return of her obsession, her Sasuke, but...

But a virtue can turn into an obsession, and sometimes nothing more.

KAS: Damn this took for f****ing ever!!! But all I have to thank is my music.."Oi! What about me!?" Well YOU did nothing at all, but run away...Then again I don't know what would have happened if you had taken on Sakura...I do not even want to think about it. While typing up this fic the music I had been listening to was: "Inner Universe" By Yoko Kanno and so on. But umm yeah...I hope I did a good job, because I tried, but didn't at the same time...Kinda hard to explain really. All in all I am glad that I made it over Seven Hundred Words, the story was about One Thousand. So if Nu wants to I will let her take care of the rest.

Nu: Well…prepare to hate the almighty Nu, ruler of- “BULLSHIT!”- Shut up damn you! Never mind. Prepare to hate me for the horrid Naruto drabble next time. XPTill then, DropDeadcorps shall say thank you to reviewers and drop dead to all!- “Damn it Nu!” ….I shall run now.
