Chapter 13: “Sasuke!”

 

Sakura threw her arms around Sasuke in a loving embrace and cried tears of joy. As she buried her face into his chest, she failed to notice that the embrace was not returned and while sobbing she said.

 

“Oh Sasuke-Kun, I'm so happy were together again. You have no idea how hard it's been in the village since you've been gone. The things people have said about you have been horrible. I'm so glad you contacted me. Please Sasuke, let's go back to the village. I'm sure once you explain everything, you'll be forgiven, and then we can be together forever.”

 

Sakura looked up into Sasuke's face with loving tear filled eyes, expecting to see his face flushed with the love she always knew he had for her. Instead, all her gaze fell upon were cold and lifeless eyes and his face showed no sign of emotion other than a smirk. It was then that Sakura realized that Sasuke's arms remained motionless at his side, not moving an inch to return her embrace. She was about to ask if something was wrong before he called out in a taunting voice.

 

“You see Kabuto, I told you she would come. You owe me $1000 Ryo's.”

 

Kabuto and a couple of dozen Oto Sound village Nin's stepped out of the forest surrounding the pair. Kabuto then walked over to the log where Sasuke had been sitting and sat down while saying.

 

“Yes Sasuke, I owe you $1000 Ryo's. I thought for sure the girl would still be in mourning over the death of her teammate Naruto. I guess she is the selfish self-absorbed bitch you always said she was.”

 

“Don't forget stupid and annoying as well Kabuto.” Sasuke callously replied while tearing himself away from Sakura's grasp.

 

Sakura became very nervous and confused, as she looked around at all the men surrounding her and Sasuke before stammering.

 

“Sas, Sasuke-Kun, I, I don't understand, what's going on?”

 

Sasuke turned back upon hearing Sakura's question and began walking towards the apprehensive pink haired kunoichi and with a sneer says.

 

“Don't worry Sakura, I'll explain everything to you before the night is through.”

 

As Sakura watched Sasuke approach her, she began to feel something about him she never would have imagined she could in her life, fear. She attempted to overcome this growing feeling inside her mind and said with as much courage as she could muster.

 

“Sasuke-Kun, why are all these enemy Nin's here with you? You said in your message that you had escaped and wanted to come back to the village to be with me. Were you recaptured before I got here?”

 

“I guess you can add gullible to her description as well Sasuke.” Kabuto remarked as he looked at Sakura with disdain.

 

“Yeah you can Kabuto, but only when it involves me (ha, ha, ha).” Sasuke laughingly replied before turning back to Sakura and saying.

 

“What's wrong Sakura? Are you still confused? Well, to answer your questions, no I wasn't recaptured because I was never a prisoner in the first place. These enemy Nin's are your enemy Sakura not mine, and they're here because I ordered them here. And as for wanting to return to Konoha to be with you, I had to say something to get you out here now didn't I.”

 

“But why Sasuke-Kun, it can't be true what everyone is saying about you back in the Leaf village.” Sakura exclaimed.

 

“What are they saying Sakura? That I turned traitor and defected from Konoha and that I'm now working and training under the SS class Missing Nin and legendary Sannin Orochimaru, and my new allegiance is to him and Otokagure. Are they saying that my new comrades are responsible for the deaths of many Konoha Shinobi, including several of my former classmates? And finally, are they saying that I am personally responsible for the murder of one blonde dobe of a teammate? Well you know what Sakura, everything you've heard is true and I make no apologies for any of it!” Sasuke ruthlessly says to her.

 

Sakura is in a state of shock as she listens to Sasuke and realizes her dreams of the future are crashing down around her. She stares at Sasuke for a moment before saying in one last desperate attempt to save her fantasy.

 

“It can't be true Sasuke, you would never do that to Naruto on your own. Orochimaru must still be controlling you somehow?”

 

Sasuke and Kabuto look at one another before they both erupt in laughter simultaneously before Sasuke says while still laughing.

 

“(Ha, ha, ha) Oh God Sakura, that is so classic from you. I wondered what excuse you would come up with to defend me for killing Naruto to everyone. That was the one thing I could always count on you for. No matter what I did, you could always come up with some reason to justify my actions, even if it was complete bullshit most of the time. Truth be told Sakura, Orochimaru isn't controlling me. I joined him willingly because he can give me the power I need to kill Itachi and anyone else who gets in my way. And he didn't order my Oto comrades or me to kill Naruto and the others that was just a bonus (ha, ha, ha). In fact, Orochimaru didn't want to kill Naruto at all. He thought the dobe might be of use to him in the future, but he relented when I made it a condition of joining him. No Sakura, that losers death is completely on me and no one else.”

 

Sakura just stood silently in front of Sasuke wide-eyed and trembling as she listened to his words. Her mind was going into shock as she tried to comprehend everything she had heard. Sasuke's cruel voice spoke out once more and said.

 

“What's wrong Sakura? You're awfully quiet right now. Usually, it's impossible to get your annoying voice to shut up about anything. If I had known all it would take to keep you quiet was to kill Naruto, I would have done it a long time ago. You should have seen the look on his face when I happily plunged my Chidori into his chest it was priceless. By the way, if you see Kakashi again, thank him for teaching me that technique. Tell him it's the perfect method for getting rid of obnoxious blonde dobe's (ha, ha, ha). Maybe you should have him teach it to you to use on Ino. What am I saying, you don't have the talent to learn something as advanced as that jutsu.”

 

“You, you really did that to Naruto?” Sakura asks in a choked voice.

 

“You seem upset that I did that? Well, if it's any consolation to you, Naruto's last words as I pulled my hand out of his chest were “I'm sorry Sakura.” Sasuke coolly states, with no remorse whatsoever.

 

Upon hearing those three words, Sakura's mind snapped and any love she once held for Sasuke died at that moment. She looked up at Sasuke's smiling face and a rage began to well up inside her. How could she have been so stupid and foolish to ever love this boy? Then suddenly and without warning, she struck Sasuke across his smirking face with all the strength she had and screamed.

 

“How could you do that Sasuke, Naruto was our teammate and more than that our friend you bastard!”

 

Sasuke was surprised at Sakura's reaction, but more than that he is angry that she would dare to lay her hands upon him without his permission. He quickly regains his composure and backhands Sakura across her face with such force, it knocks her down and she begins to spit out some blood. He stares down at his former teammate and says with sarcasm.

 

“Sakura, is that anyway to speak or treat the love of your life?”

 

Sakura slowly rises from the ground and looks at Sasuke while still spitting a little blood and says.

 

“You're not the love of my life! I could never love someone who's done the things you've just said you monster!”

 

“Oh Sakura, I'm so hurt that you feel that way. I really don't understand why you are so upset about what I did? Naruto was never our friend and you hated him even more than I did.” Sasuke replies the sarcasm still evident in his voice.

 

“I never hated Naruto! I love Naruto! I, I mean as a friend and teammate.” Sakura vehemently stammers.

 

“You loved Naruto as a friend. Please Sakura, who are you trying to convince, me or yourself? If you loved Naruto, you had a funny way of showing it to the dobe. Hell, you treated him worse than I ever did. In fact, that was the only thing enjoyable about being on Team #7 with you losers was watching Naruto try to be your friend. Then watching you physically and verbally abuse the idiot until he was nothing. But everyday he kept coming back for more; I guess he was some sort of masochist? I've never seen anyone offer up their heart to someone so many times only to have that person stomp on it time and time again. So let's be honest here Sakura. I may have hated the dobe, but when it came to actually inflicting pain both physical and emotional onto him. No one could touch you in that aspect. So explain to me how that is being a friend?” Sasuke says.

 

Sakura's only reply to Sasuke was to hang her head low in shame, as she knew everything Sasuke had just said was true. As Sakura reflected on his words, she honestly hated herself right then and there. All Naruto ever did was be nice and caring towards her, never deserving the ridicule and scorn she heaped upon him for his efforts. How could she have been so stupid and selfish to do that to Naruto? She was so fixated on Sasuke, and too blind to see how much Naruto sacrificed for her. Even at the cost of his own happiness and well-being. And all because of how much he had loved her. After a moment, she looked up with tears in her eyes and said.

 

“You're right Sasuke, you and I were both terrible friends to Naruto. But he still considered us his friends and what you tried to do is unforgivable.”

 

“Unforgivable, Oh Sakura, ever the one to overreact as usual. So upset that I tried to kill, wait a minute, what do you mean tried? Naruto's dead isn't he?” Sasuke asks in a voice slightly tinged with fear, as he remembers how close Naruto had come to defeating him at the Valley of the End.

 

Sakura saw the change in Sasuke's demeanor and heard the desperation in his voice and smiled. She knew exactly how to hurt Sasuke before saying and laughing.

 

“No Sasuke, Naruto is alive and well. You failed as usual against him. In fact, his skills and power have surpassed you so much, that I heard the legendary Sannin Jiraiya has accepted him fulltime as a student. Something he hasn't done since he trained the Fourth Hokage. Face it Sasuke, the dobe as you like to call him has beaten you once again (ha, ha, ha.)”

 

After hearing Sakura's mocking words, Sasuke became enraged and his Curse Seal activated to the first level. He quickly struck the laughing kunoichi again. Only this time with the advanced power of the Curse Seal coursing through him, it sent Sakura slamming into a nearby tree back first. As Sakura slumped to the ground, she spit some blood and teeth out of her mouth and looked over towards Sasuke and became very afraid. Sasuke's entire body was covered with those strange curse seal patterns, and a purplish black colored chakra swirled around him causing everyone present to step back from its power. Meanwhile, Sasuke violently ranted about Naruto in a verbal temper tantrum.

 

“God damn it! What do I have to do rid myself of that loser? I put a fucking hole in his chest and yet he continues to live! Why can't I kill that bastard? I'm an Uchia damn it, one of the elite! Naruto is nothing compared to me, a nobody! How does that idiot continue to surpass me and grow stronger? It's not fair! I should be the one to receive advanced training from a Sannin not him!”

 

“Sasuke, you need to calm down. You forget you too are receiving advanced training from a legendary Sannin as well. You shouldn't be surprised that Naruto still lives. We suspected as much when your Mangekyou Sharingan hadn't activated yet. Just relax, we'll take care of Naruto in due time.” Kabuto says, trying to keep Sasuke and the Curse Seal under control. Slowly, the black chakra begins to recede back into Sasuke's body, as he begins to relax after hearing Kabuto before saying.

 

“You're right Kabuto. I shouldn't waste my time thinking about that loser. I don't care how much training he receives, his power will be nothing compared to mine. I'll kill him when the time is right. I swear it upon the Uchiha name! Now, what are we going to do about the pink haired bitch over there?”

 

“Well since we now know that Naruto is still alive, why don't we stick to the original plan and use her as bait to lure him out here. With any luck, you may yet be able to kill him before the night is through?” Kabuto answers.

 

Sakura silently wept when she heard this and the realization hit her that she had been nothing more than a pawn in Sasuke's vicious game to try and get Naruto. She began to tremble as Sasuke began moving towards her. When Sasuke reached her, he grabbed her arm and painfully yanked Sakura to her feet as he said.

 

“I agree Kabuto, but knowing that dobe, he'll probably get lost trying to find his way out here. So it might be a few hours before he arrives. But I don't think Sakura is presentable enough to receive him yet. What do you think Kabuto?”

 

“I don't know Sasuke, I'll leave that up to you.” Kabuto replies as he sits back down on the log.

 

“Well let's see if we can't improve her appearance for him.” Sasuke says with a wicked smile on his face as he stares at the frightened kunoichi.

 

“What, what are you going to do Sasuke?” Sakura apprehensively asks, as Sasuke leans his head next to her ear and whispers with a hint of malice.

 

“Nothing bad Sakura, I'm just going to make your fondest dream come true.”

 

At which point Sasuke grabs the front of Sakura's dress as she screams and tears it open exposing her bra-covered breast. He then violently rips the bra off of her body, revealing her small yet pert breast for everyone to see. Sakura uses one arm in a vain attempt to cover herself, and lashes out with the other arm to strike at Sasuke. Unfortunately, Sasuke caught her arm and twisted it behind Sakura's back who screamed in pain before he slammed her face into the tree breaking her nose. As Sasuke kept Sakura's arm pinned behind her, his other hand snaked around to her front and grabbed one of her breast while cruelly twisting her nipple and he said with a sneer.

 

“I'm mildly impressed Sakura. Your tits are bigger than I expected them to be. Nowhere near the size of Ino's ample tits, but I guess they'll have to do.”

 

Sasuke then gives Sakura's nipple another twist causing her to wince and yell out in pain once again. Sakura attempted to turn her body and strike out at Sasuke with her free arm. But before she could complete this maneuver, Sasuke mercilessly pulled her pinned arm further up her back and smashed his fist into it, causing her arm to break and her shoulder to separate. Sakura's scream as he did this seemed to echo for miles in the forest. As Sakura sobbed uncontrollably from the pain, Sasuke dropped her lifeless arm and pulled a kunai out and made a long vertical gash down her back to cut away the remnants of her dress. When he pulled the garment away, he noticed that his cut had been a little too deep as blood began to flow down Sakura's back. He took the kunai, which still had blood on it and licked the surface before saying.

 

“Wow Sakura, you taste pretty damn good. Here, do you want a taste?”

 

Sasuke then takes his hand and dips his fingers over the cut on Sakura's back before bringing them up to her face. Sakura turns her head away in disgust before Sasuke wipes the blood onto her cheek and says.

 

“Oh well, your loss. You don't know what you're missing.”

 

Sakura couldn't say anything as she sobbed from the pain and heartache of what was happening to her. Sasuke stared at his crying ex-teammate clad now only in her black shorts and chuckled before he took the kunai in his hand and began to cut away the last article of clothing on Sakura. Sakura could feel what he is doing and still sobbing, she begs to Sasuke in a choked voice.

 

“Wh, why Sasuke? (sob) Why are you doing this? (sob,sob) Please stop. (sob) I thought you loved me?” (sob,sob)

 

As Sasuke tore the remaining fabric of Sakura's shorts away from her body, he heard Sakura asking about his love for her and laughed out loud before saying.

 

“Love you, where did you ever get such a stupid idea from? I told you the first day I met you that I thought you were annoying, and you've never done anything to change that opinion. I don't know why you thought I ever cared about you? It wasn't me saving your ass on all those missions we had, but Naruto. You're not even from a Shinobi clan; it would be beneath me and a shame to my own clan to be with the likes of you. No Sakura, I don't love you, I loathe you with every fiber of my being. You and that damn obnoxious blonde dobe that you now all of a sudden care about.”

 

“Then why Sasuke? Why do this to me?” Sakura screams out of anguish at his words.

 

“Why Sakura, you're asking me why? Well, I can't think of any better way to get back at Naruto than to take the one thing he's fantasized about since he's known you. Plus, I'm bored and I need something to do to kill the time. But Sakura, I don't understand? Are you not enjoying yourself? Isn't this your dream come true to be with me?” Sasuke tauntingly replies.

 

“Not, not like this Sasuke. Please don't do this, I'm begging you.” Sakura pleads.

 

Sasuke ignores Sakura's pleas as he unzips his pants and pulls his cock out. He smears some blood from Sakura's back onto it and begins to stroke himself to a full hardness, while leaning into Sakura and saying.

 

“Yes Sakura, exactly like this! And as for begging, please continue. I enjoy it!”

 

“You sadistic bastard! How could I have ever fallen in love with you instead of Naruto? You're nothing more than a sick twisted weak little boy, compared to a real man like Naruto. He will kill you the next time he sees you for this and everything else you've done! And while you're rotting in Hell, I want you to remember how truly pathetic you are in comparison to him!” Sakura angrily shouts, the venom in her voice clearly evident.

 

Sasuke didn't like to be compared and told he was inferior to Naruto and his response to Sakura was to smack the side of her head. He then grabbed a fistful of her pink hair and pulled her head back to his before saying with malevolence.

 

“I really don't care what you have to say or think about me Sakura, but I can promise you one thing. Naruto isn't here to save you this time!”

 

Sasuke then thrust his now hard cock to the hilt into Sakura, ripping through her hymen as she screamed once more. Sasuke was reveling in the feeling coursing through his body. However, it wasn't the sex that made him feel so good, it was hearing Sakura's cries of agony interlaced with her choked breathing and sobbing. As Sasuke looked down to see his cock plunging in and out of Sakura bathed in her blood, he laughed out loud once again and cried out.

 

“Scream for me Sakura, I want to hear you scream!”

 

Sasuke then took a handful of her pink locks once again, and yanked her head back with such force, her hair ripped out into his hand eliciting another very audible scream of pain and agony from the young kunoichi. As Sakura's head fell forward, she felt Sasuke place a hand behind her head and force the side of her face against the tree. The pressure of Sasuke's fucking was so violent and savage; the bark of the tree was causing deep lacerations onto Sakura's breasts and face. Sakura's vision began to grow dark and there was one fleeting thought that went through her mind before she blacked out from the pain and blood loss of her ordeal.

 

`Naruto, I'm such a fool, it should have been you.'

 

And with that, Sakura succumbed to the pain and fell unconscious against the tree, while Sasuke continued to laugh and thrust himself into her lifeless prone body.

 

(Flashback 3-4 Hours Earlier)

 

Tsunade was growing increasingly concerned about the whereabouts and safety of Sakura as she watched various Shinobi enter the conference room. Time was not on her side, as she had no way of knowing how much of a head start Sakura had or even which direction she may have gone. All she could do was pray that they find her in time. As Tsunade scanned the room, all she could do was shake her head in disbelief. The Oto village attack during the Chunin exams several months ago had certainly taken a heavy toll on Konoha's forces. Of all the ninja's she had requested, the once strong Village Hidden in the Leaves could only produce a little more than 50 available Shinobi at her disposal. The rest of her forces were either away on various missions or not of sufficient strength or skill for a threat of this caliber. Tsunade saw Kurenai arrive with two of her students and watched as she instructed them to wait outside. Knowing that she needed every available body for this search mission. Tsunade motioned to Kurenai to include Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka in this meeting, much to the surprise of everyone. She had no choice in this situation as both Kiba and Shino had the best tracking skills of anyone in the “Rookie Nine” class. As Kurenai took her students to the back to be seated, she spied Kakashi standing behind the Hokage and next to the Kazekage of Suna. They exchanged a fervent glance with one another before Tsunade's voice brought everyone in the room to attention.

 

“Shinobi of Konoha, you are gathered here because I have just learned we may be facing an A Class security threat to the village. There is also a strong possibility that this threat level may increase to an S Class security threat.”

 

This announcement by the Hokage sent a shockwave through the room, and many Shinobi began murmuring with one another in a buzz of apprehension. Suddenly, there was a flash of smoke and light at the doorway and when the smoke cleared; everyone in the room could see Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha astride a large toad. His appearance caused the entire room to go silent as the whispering in regards to the Hokage's announcement ceased. As Jiraiya leapt off of the toad, it disappeared and he strode confidently forth into the room exchanging a quick glance with Tsunade before taking a seat behind a heavy wooden desk near the doorway. The tension in the room seemed to lighten considerably with Jiraiya's appearance. He had been away for several weeks, and many of the Shinobi felt more at ease knowing not one but two legendary Sannin were now present. Tsunade began to speak once again to explain the nature of the threat.

 

“The threat we are facing is the possible defection of a Leaf village Shinobi to the forces of Otokagure the Sound village. The subject in question is one Sakura Haruno, a top Genin from this year's rookie class. You will find a description and all pertinent information about this Shinobi in the packets Shizune is passing forth, are there any questions?”

 

“You said this is a possible defection Hokage-Sama, what do you mean?” Asuma asks.

 

“The information I received in a letter from Ms. Haruno stated she was leaving in an attempt to secure the return of the A Class Missing Nin Sasuke Uchiha. She also indicated that if she were unable to achieve this, she would be joining him. If so, this will change her status and she would also become a Missing Nin of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.” Tsunade states.

 

“So why is this such a high class security alert Hokage-Sama? She's just a Genin.” A young Jounin Shinobi curiously asks.

 

“The high classification of this alert is due to the fact that Sasuke Uchiha is an A Class ranked criminal who is now the prodigy of the SS Class ranked criminal Orochimaru. And this may be a prelude to another attack by him and his Oto forces on the village.” Tsunade answers.

 

“So what type of mission is this anyway?” Kiba questions from the back of the room much to the ire of Kurenai.

 

“The type of mission this is young Genin is two-fold. In its present form it is a search and rescue operation to safely retrieve Sakura Haruno and possibly Sasuke Uchiha. If it is learned that neither individual is willing to return to Konoha, the mission automatically upgrades to a search and destroy scenario.” Tsunade coldly says.

 

“However, under no circumstances is any search team to engage either Missing Nin if they are with Orochimaru and his forces, unless you have sizable and sufficient back-up from our own Konoha Shinobi.” Tsunade strictly orders.

 

“Hokage-Sama, do you have any additional information in the letter or in general as to Ms. Haruno's possible whereabouts?” Kurenai asks.

 

“No, nothing in the letter addressed to me.” Tsunade answers.

 

“In the letter addressed to you, is there another letter Hokage-Sama?” Asuma remarks.

 

After a pause, Tsunade answers.

 

“Yes Asuma, there is another letter addressed to Naruto Uzumaki. I have not opened it, but I do not believe it will contain any pertinent information that can help in this mission.”

 

“Pardon me Hokage-Sama, but can we afford to take that chance?” Asuma says.

 

Tsunade glares at Asuma for a moment before she realizes that he does have a valid point and replies.

 

“No Asuma, you are correct, we cannot.”

 

Tsunade then motions to Shizune to bring her the letter, which she then opens and begins reading before crushing the document in her hand and with a look of despair on her face says.

 

“There is nothing in this to help us.”

 

“What does it say Hokage-Sama?” Asuma questions.

 

After a long pause and in a choked voice Tsunade replies.

 

“It says, I'm Sorry.”

 

As Lady Tsunade said those two words, a flood of memories comes crashing forth in her mind, and her eyes begin to well with tears. However, she is not the only individual in the room with whom those two words and the method by which they were delivered has affected. There is suddenly a large crash surprising everyone as the all turn to the source, to see Jiraiya stand up after he has smashed the desk he was at in two with one blow of his fist. There is a pained look to his face as he begins to leave before angrily saying.

 

“Bah Tsunade, this is a waste of time and resources to search after one lovesick idiot fan girl of a traitor to this village! I'll not waste my time on this useless endeavor!”

 

“Jiraiya please, I need, we need you.” Tsunade pleadingly says.

 

“Fine Tsunade, I will check the most logical areas where an attack on this village might come from, but no more! And keep Naruto out of this mess if you would! I don't want him wasting his time or possibly his life on this farce either!” Jiraiya replies in a voice still tinged with anger but also sorrow as well.

 

“Jiraiya wait, shouldn't you take some ANBU with you? What if you run into Orochimaru out there?” Tsunade says in a concerned yet sad tone of voice.

 

Jiraiya turns his head to Tsunade and she can see the pain etched in his face before he says in a vengeful voice.

 

“Then I'll do what I should have done 35 years ago. I'll kill him!”

 

After Jiraiya leaves the room, many of the Shinobi are shocked by the behavior and attitude of the Sannin towards the Hokage. However as they look to Lady Tsuande, her head is hung low as she stares at the podium in front of her before saying without looking up.

 

“If there are no more questions, you may pick up your search assignments from Genma after this meeting. Gai Maito, Anko Mitarashi, you two will assist Kakashi in escorting the Kazekage of Suna back to the border of his country. Afterwards, you may then join in the search efforts. Please remain after this meeting for additional instructions.”

 

“Hai, Hokage-Sama!” Both Jounin say in unison as they stand to attention.

 

“Are you sure you should be sending a former protégé of Orochimaru as an escort for the Kazekage is wise Hokage-Sama? There are more qualified Jounin available whose loyalties aren't in question.” Asuma remarks.

 

“I don't question her loyalties, Anko has proven herself loyal to Konoha time and time again since Orochimaru's defection. If I don't have a problem with her, why should you Asuma? Or perhaps there is another reason you would like to share, as to why Anko shouldn't be given the respect you give to other Jounin?” Tsuande sternly asks as she glances at both Anko and Kurenai who are leveling icy glares towards Asuma.

 

“No Hokage-Sama, I did not mean to question your decision. I meant no disrespect to you or Ms. Mitarashi.” Asuma politely replies.

 

“Very well then, you are all dismissed.” Tsunade orders.

 

As the Shinobi file out of the room, Anko glances at her friend Kurenai who turns her head away from her much to Anko's anguish. Soon the only people left in the room are Tsunade, Gaara, Kakashi, Gai, and Anko. Gaara is the first to speak and announces.

 

“Lady Tsunade, while I appreciate your offer of escort back to my homelands border, it would seem to me that you need every available Shinobi right now for your search mission. I am perfectly capable of returning to Suna on my own.”

 

“Thank you Kazekage Gaara for the offer, but no. It is our sworn duty to provide safe conduct to all foreign dignitaries within our country. I know you are indeed a very talented and powerful Shinobi in your right Kazekage. But even with your great strength and skill, if you were to encounter Orochimaru, Sasuke and Oto's forces by yourself. I fear even you would face defeat to them. Which is why I've increased your escort protection to safely return you to Suna. Kakashi whom you already know and Gai are two of Konoha's most skilled and powerful Jounin. And as you heard earlier, Anko is a former student protégé of Orochimaru and is familiar with his tactics and strengths and is quite strong and skilled in her own right. So should you encounter Orochimaru and his forces, I am confident this group will still get you back to the Wind nation, even if it costs them their lives.” Tsunade diplomatically remarks.

 

“You speak well Lady Tsunade, but I feel you underestimate my power and skills. I've heard of the Snake Sannin, and while I have no desire to seek him out in battle. I am confidant were that to occur, I could stand my ground with him on an equal basis.” Gaara casually replies.

 

“That may be Kazekage Gaara. And I mean no disrespect to you, but as I've said before if Sasuke were to attack you along with Orochimaru, even you would fall at their hands.”

Tsunade sternly says.

 

“The Uchiha brat, his power is nothing compared to me or even Naruto for that matter. I'll crush him as easily as I would have at the Chunin exams if not for Naruto's intervention.” Gaara confidently remarks.

 

“The situation has changed significantly with regards to the Uchia. He is no longer the same individual you faced at the exams Kazekage. Orochimaru's Curse Seal gives him immense power; enough to even rival that of Naruto. So if you were to face such power combined with the power and skills of a Sannin, I fear even you would not be able to overcome such obstacles in battle Kazekage.” Tsunade advises.

 

There is a long pause as Gaara ponders what Lady Tsunade has said to him. Finally, he looks up and says.

 

“Very well Hokage Tsunade. I will heed your words and accept your escort detail for my safe return to Sunakagure. However, I expect you to be just as diligent in the protection of my sister within your country as you are with me. If anything were to happen to her while she is here, it would not bode well shall we say for our two countries relations.”

 

“You have my word Kazekage Gaara. Teamari's safety will be an utmost priority to me while she resides within our lands.” Tsunade contritely answers.

 

“I shall hold you to that Lady Tsunade. If there is nothing else, we should leave now. The sooner I get back home, the sooner you shall have three more additional Shinobi to help search for your wayward kunoichi.” Gaara says.

 

As Lady Tsunade watches from her office balcony Gaara and his escorts leave Hokage Tower. She can also see the various search teams for Sakura bounding off in various directions. Turning back to sit at her desk, she pulls a bottle of sake out of a drawer and pours herself a drink. As she reflects upon the events of the last hour, a single tear runs down her cheek as memories of the past haunt her. She remembers the pained look in Jiraiya's face as he left earlier, and of the terrible pain she caused him and their son so many years ago. Tsunade hopes that one day Jiraiya may forgive her, but she doubts it because she can never forgive herself, as she begins to softly weep in her darkened office.

 

(Return to Present)

 

As Sakura gradually regained consciousness, she felt a warm, sticky, and foul smelling liquid hitting her face. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see Sasuke urinating on her while saying.

 

“Wakey, wakey Sakura, time to rise and shine.”

 

Sakura wept as she watched Sasuke tuck his cock back into his pants and zip himself up. While unconscious, she had the worst nightmare she could ever conceive about Sasuke. Now looking up into his cold lifeless face, she realized that it hadn't been a dream but a horrible reality. Sakura cringed in terror as Sasuke knelt down beside her and grabbed her hair pulling her head up from the ground. He looked at her battered face and with a cruel smirk on his own he said.

 

“So Sakura, was it as good for you as it was for me?”

 

Sakura said nothing as she turned her head away from Sasuke and began coughing, as she attempted to purge the sickening mixture of blood, dirt, and urine from her mouth. Sasuke merely giggled at this before casually throwing her head back to the ground and stood up while saying.

 

“What do you want to do Kabuto? We've been here a few hours and the dobe still hasn't arrived yet. I'm beginning to wonder if he is going to show up at all?”

 

“You may be right Sasuke, but Orochimaru-Sama left us specific instructions to wait here until he arrived. So we'll wait a little longer as monotonous and boring as it is.” Kabuto lazily answered, as he lay stretched out on a log.

 

“Well if you're bored Kabuto, you can have a turn at Sakura if you want?” Sasuke offered.

 

“Thank you for the offer Sasuke, but no. I prefer my women to be a little more seasoned age wise, as well as someone who isn't as pathetic as she is.” Kabuto replied.

 

“Don't tell me, you still got a thing for the Ice Queen Kurenai don't you?” Sasuke asked while smirking.

 

“Well I don't know if I would call it a thing, but I definitely would like to have a private meeting with her shall we say in the future.” Kabuto answered with a grin on his face before adding.

 

“But don't let me stop you Sasuke. We have time, and you're more than welcome to have another round with the girl if you wish?”

 

Sakura's body shook in fear as she listened to this conversation and at the thought of Sasuke resuming his rape of her. She then heard Sasuke reply.

 

“No, I'm done with her. It wasn't that good and not much fun after she passed out and couldn't scream for me anymore.”

 

“I agree Sasuke-Kun, the screaming is the best part.” An evil lisping voice said as everyone turned to see the source and then immediately bow as Orochimaru had arrived.

 

“Rissssssse Sasuke-Kun, that's no way for my favorite pupil to greet his Sensei. Come over here and give me a proper greeting.” Orochimaru hissed to the Uchia boy.

 

“As you wish Orochimaru Sensei.” Sasuke happily replied as he skipped over to the Snake Sannin and hugged him fiercely, before Orochimaru leaned his face into his and they shared a passionate kiss, their tongues wrestling with one another for supremacy.

 

Sakura nearly threw up watching this scene play out in front of her eyes. She silently cursed her own stupidity as she realized that she had never truly known Sasuke at all. As Orochimaru pulled away from Sasuke he said.

 

“Now Sasuke, I already know that Naruto is still alive. But, why hasn't he arrived yet to save that kunoichi whore over there? I thought you said he loved her. This was your plan if he was still alive, to lure him out here so you could finally kill him and gain that lovely Mangekyou Sharingan for your beautiful eyes.” Orochimaru questions.

 

“I apologize Orochimaru Sensei. I know Naruto loves the pink bitch over there, but I can't understand why he hasn't come to save her? In fact, I'm surprised that no one from Konoha has come looking for her. She is pretty weak; I suppose that maybe the Hokage felt it wasn't worth the effort to find her. But that still doesn't explain why Naruto isn't here? He loves her so much; I know he would defy a direct order from Tsunade herself to try and find Sakura if he had to. Perhaps if we give the dobe a little more time, my plan may yet succeed? We are pretty far away from Konoha right now.” Sasuke politely explains to the Snake Sannin before everyone hears a labored laughing from Sakura, before she says in a rasping voice.

 

“As usual Sasuke, when it comes to Naruto you've failed once again.”

 

“What do you mean you stupid bitch? Answer me!” Sasuke angrily says as he walks over to Sakura and viciously kicks her in the ribs breaking several of them, as she cries out once more in intense pain.

 

“Sasuke, the girl can't answer you if you kill her.” Kabuto points out to the enraged Uchia prodigy.

 

Sakura attempted to gather as much strength as she could through the pain and defiantly says to her ex-teammate.

 

“Naruto isn't going to come, he hates me thanks to you. He has Hinata now. He isn't going to waste his time or his life coming for me anymore. And although it hurts that he doesn't love me anymore. For the first time I'm grateful that he doesn't, since it means ruining your plans once again.”

 

Sasuke looked down at Sakura's smug face and kicked her once again before saying in a voice dripping with disdain.

 

“So the dobe finally wised up about you and cut you out of his life. I have to say I'm impressed. I didn't think he'd ever do that since he loved you so much. And now he's with the Hyuga bitch huh, that's even more impressive. It's quite a step up from you in quality that's for sure. I've always wondered what kind of Kekkai Genkai would be produced in the offspring of an Uchia and a Hyuga? Because of that, I'd already planned on making her my first conquest to restore my clan. Now that she is Naruto's woman, that will make it that much sweeter when I do.”

 

“I thought she was your first conquest in restoring your clan Sasuke?” Kabuto inquires while pointing towards Sakura.

 

“With her, please. I pulled out long before I might give her the gift of my seed! I only want to sire children from strong kunoichi's with talent. Not weak and useless ones like this wretched example before you. Shit Kabuto, if it wasn't for her always holding our team back, we might have become as legendary as Orochimaru Sensei's Team #7 squad was. Hell, even the dobe pulled his weight more than she ever did in a fight. In fact, all we ever did was put her on guard duty, not that it mattered. We all knew if the enemy ever got past Kakashi, myself, or Naruto on a mission, the person or product we were protecting would be lost.” Sasuke replied with contempt.

 

What little remained of Sakura's spirit was crushed upon hearing Sasuke's assessment of her Shinobi abilities and her contribution to the success of their team. She glanced at Sasuke's emotionless face while softly crying before he exclaimed with glee.

 

“Now the Hyuga bitch, that's another story! I'd like to strap her to a table right now and have her churn out Uchia's for the next twenty years! Orochimaru Sensei, please oh pretty please, may we go get the Hyuga girl and do just that?

 

Orochimaru looked at Sasuke giving him puppy dog eyes and a pouting bottom lip before he chuckled and hissing said.

 

“Yeeeeesssss Sasuke-Kun, we can get the Hyuga girl. I can't refuse anything to you when you give me that face. Besides, I too am curious to see what would arise from the combining of the Sharingan with the Byakugan as well. Kabuto, I want you to take twenty Nin's with you and make your way to Konoha and secure the girl. Instruct your men she is not to be touched or harmed in anyway. I don't want my present to Sasuke-Kun damaged, is that clear?”

 

“Yes Hokage-Sama, what should we do about the girl here?” Kabuto asks as he bows towards his master.

 

“Leave a few men here, there is still a chance that Sasuke-Kun is right and Naruto may yet arrive. If so, merely hold her hostage to control him and then bring the both of them back to Oto. If he doesn't arrive, kill her. She's of no use to us anymore. Now come Sasuke-Kun, let us return to Oto ourselves. You have some new jutsu's to learn as well as some duties to perform with me.” Orochimaru states, as his tongue licks his lips while staring at Sasuke.

 

Sasuke utters a girlish squeal, and nods his head towards his Sensei before leaning down and saying to Sakura in a sarcastic tone.

 

Sakura, if you somehow manage to live through this, I want you to deliver a message to our classmates. Tell the girls, oh yeah and the sand bitch from Suna too, I'll be coming for them soon to grant them the honor and privilege of helping to restore my clan. As for the guys, tell them I'll be coming to grant them the honor and privilege of a painful death. Goodbye Sakura, I know this reunion didn't go quite as you had planned, But just so you won't get lonely while I'm gone, I give permission to Kabuto to have the men he assigns to guard you keep you company the rest of the night.”

 

Sasuke then spits in Sakura's face, before rising and walking back over to Orochimaru who pulls him close to his body and licked his cheek, much to Sasuke's pleasure, while they strode off into the night together.

 

As Kabuto watched them disappear, he commanded the remaining men to pack up and begin heading forth towards Konoha. As ordered, he left one of his top Oto lieutenants behind with three other Nin's to watch over Sakura and wait to see if Naruto arrives. After Kabuto and his Nin's leave, Sakura looks over to the remaining Nin's and sees them coming towards her and begins to weep as their hands fumble with the buckles on their belts. A few minutes later, the forest echoes once again with the sound of her screams in the night.

 

As dawn broke over the forest, the Oto lieutenant groaned as he stirred from his drunken slumber of the night before. Still groggy, he began to rise from the forest floor before the sound of moaning caught his ears. The officer looked over to see one of his men humping furiously between Sakura's lifeless legs before he uttered with satisfaction.

 

“Oooooooh Yeeeaaaaah.” As he emptied his load into Sakura's unconscious body, before he rolled off of her with a contented smile on his face. He spied his commanding officer looking at him and said.

 

“Hey lieutenant, you're awake. Do you want to have another go at her? I'm done.”

 

The lieutenant looked over at the dirty bloody naked heap that was Sakura and smirked before saying.

 

“No thanks, I've had enough as well. Besides, she's been unconscious the last few hours, and I like my women to have a little life in them while I fuck them.”

 

“Yeah, I hear that. She was a lot more fun when she was struggling.” The Oto Nin replied, as he rose from the ground next to Sakura and began putting his pants back on. While he was dressing, the other two Nin's began to awake and stumble around trying to get their bearings. As they searched for their clothes amidst the empty sake bottles scattered around them. One of the men coughed and then looking at his officer asked.

 

“So what are we going to do lieutenant? I don't think this Naruto guy is going to show or anyone else for that matter for this slut. How much longer do we need to stay here?”

 

“I don't know? We'll stay a little bit longer to sober up, and then we'll kill her and head back to Oto.” The officer replied.

 

“Good, that will give me time to have one more round with the bitch!” One of the men sneered as he began stumbling towards Sakura.

 

“God, don't you ever get enough?” One of his comrades jokingly asks before a blood-curdling scream erupts from the Nin who was advancing towards Sakura.

 

As his comrades turn towards him, they see him drop to his knees grasping at his groin trying to remove a kunai that was deeply impaled into him. A brief moment later, another kunai sails through the air impacting his forehead and he fell dead to the ground. The lieutenant saw this and shouted while running towards his weapons.

 

“We're under attack, be on your guard!”

 

“What the fuck?” One of the Nin's shouted before a green blur appeared behind him and snapped his neck like a twig, before disappearing again in a green flash. The Oto officer quickly looked to the other Nin and gasped as he saw his man encased inside the coils of a very large snake being crushed to death. In a panic, the lieutenant began doing hand signs to activate a jutsu, before the sound of a thousand chirping birds filled the air behind him. Turning quickly around, he saw a flash of electric blue before it swung down and decapitated both of his hands as he screamed in agony. The officer looked up to see the same electric blue charge arcing towards his head before a hand shot forth and grabbed the arm to which the charge was attached and a voice rang out.

 

“Kakashi, we need this one alive! We need to know who did this?” Gai Maito shouted at his friend and rival.

 

“We already know who did this Gai, what's the point?” Kakashi angrily asks.

 

“Kakashi, we need confirmation of what happened for evidence to produce to Tsunade and the council.” Gai answers in a more subdued tone.

 

After a long pause, Kakashi began to calm down and discharged his Chidori before saying.

 

“You're right Gai. I forgot my duties as a Konoha Shinobi for a moment, I apologize.”

 

“There's no reason to apologize my friend. I would react the same way if that was Tenten over there.” Gai replied, as both men look toward the battered naked body of Sakura.

 

Anko walked over to where they were and struck the Oto officer behind his head knocking him unconscious, before all three Konoha Jounin moved over to Sakura to check on her condition. As they got closer, they were able to truly see what had happened to the young kunoichi. It was all any of them could do to keep from being sick at the sight that beheld them. Silently Kakashi stood, as his body slightly quivered while he watched Gai kneel down to check for a pulse on the girl. He looked up to his friend and said.

 

“She's alive Kakashi, but her pulse is very weak. We need to get her medical attention as quickly as possible.”

 

Kakashi gazed at the broken body of his former student and paused a moment before quietly saying.

 

“Anko let me have your coat.”

 

Anko removed her coat without argument and handed it to Kakashi, as he knelt down and gingerly wrapped Sakura in it before rising with her in his arms and says.

 

“Anko, please escort our Oto friend over there back to Konoha and deliver him to Ibiki. Then you and he work your magic to find out what happened here and get confirmation of who is responsible. Gai, I need you to track down the other search teams and recall them back to the village. Even though Anko no longer senses Orochimaru's chakra signature, that doesn't mean he still isn't around. With so many of our forces deployed right now, the village is vulnerable to an attack. I will take Sakura back for medical treatment.”

 

“Hai Kakashi.” Anko replies.

 

“A good plan my friend, but shouldn't I be the one to carry Sakura back to the village? I am the fastest one here, and she does need medical attention as quickly as possible.” Gai remarks.

 

“No Gai, though she is no longer my student, she is still my responsibility as is everyone from my former team. Gai, reach into my top pocket and get the vial I keep there.” Kakashi solemnly says.

 

As Gai retrieves the vial, he opens it to discover red food pills and understands what Kakashi is planning. These pills increase one's chakra levels and strength greatly, but with a price, as the after effects are very harmful to the health of its users. As Gai pops a pill into Kakashi's mouth, he puts the vial back into his pocket and says.

 

“God speed my eternal rival and friend. Be careful and watch your back.”

 

“Thanks Gai, you too, and you as well Anko.”

 

Kakashi then begins to channel chakra into his legs and in a flash explodes forth at incredible speed towards Konoha. As Gai and Anko watched their comrade speed away, they nod to one another and set about to do the tasks before them. Kakashi looks down at the barely recognizable face of his former student as he accelerates through the woods. He cannot believe that for the second time in as many months he is racing back to the village to try and save the life of one of his students. All the more crushing is the fact that another of his students is responsible for the pain and injuries inflicted upon the others. A student he had favored over the others, and he hates himself for this. He growls in anger and swears for God to hear.

 

“If I ever see you again Sasuke Uchiha, you will die!”

 

 

Authors Note: First off, Happy Halloween to everybody! It seemed appropriate to release this chapter on such a date. Which I tried to do but computer issues forced a day's delay, sorry. The dark theme of this chapter definitely coincides with that holiday. Well as I promoted in the last chapter, be prepared for one of the most dark, twisted, and evil portrayals of Sasuke you're ever going to read. I guess it's up to my readers to decide if I delivered on that promise or not? I don't want any personal attacks or flames from any Sasuke lovers or anybody out there in general, as you all were given several warnings about the subject and nature of this chapter. In case you're wondering, Sasuke is the villain in this story, and that's not going to change. What will change is probably going to be the length of my future chapters. I'm definitely going to pair it down some, as 20+ page chapters are very exhausting to write. As always, I want to thank everyone out there who enjoys this story, and to the people who send me reviews on it as well. I don't know when I'll have the next chapter ready to go. I haven't even done an outline yet for it. But please be patient, I'll try to do the best I can time wise. Life in general however does tend to slow things down, as I'm sure you all are aware. To everyone, take it easy, and thanks again for all the great reviews. They definitely help in giving motivation to a writer.
