'Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck-'

Was Sakura's initial response to the two sworn enemies behind her back.

One, a dumbass that betrayed her village, and somehow stilled owned her pitiful heart.

And the second, just a smart-ass bitch that was a pain in the butt (and also, an enemy of the leaf.)

Now, a match down between sasuke and kabuto would've been pretty cool to see, had she not be between the two said men, and Naruto not been almost on the verge of extincting off the face of the world.

But then, if Naruto had regained conscious at this point (which was, quite frankly, not possible) , he probably would be apart of this showdown.

'You can't be fucking serious!'

Was what Sakura would have like to burst out with. Although, that would have probably been the dumbest thing to say as of now, she was pretty sure she was at her breaking point.

The black dots that danced within her vision become even more fuzzy, and somewhere in the back of her mind she could hear a faint ringing sound as her eyes closed shut.

The last thing she remembers thinking is:

Shitshitshiiit-

How she wished she was much more stronger.

Sasuke never really cared for his teamates. He had cut his bonds off long ago, and the thought of having friends was something laughable to think about (not that he ever thought about it, since most of his thoughts were consumed by revenge.)

Sasuke never cared. He doesn't care. Never did. Never will.

Yet, why did his eyes widen, and his heart slightly increase it's heartbeat?

Especially when Naruto's healer, (pink hair? Why was it so goddamn familiar?) Falls down next to the blonde himself.

Kabuto smirked himself. "Ah, it seems as though Sakura-Chan has outdone herself."

And suddenly it clicks. This was the Sakura that was weak, incompetent, would always fangirl over him, but as he searched through his deeply tucked memories, he never had remembered her having the power of healing, or being a medical ninja.

The man with snake-like eyes (resembling too much of orochimaru, sasuke opinionated in his mind) shifted his attention to the last surviving uchiha, and pointedly lifts his with the tip of his middle finger.

Asshole.

"Now, sasuke-kun. Let's settle this peacefully." He says as he purposefully steps on the intertwined hands of Naruto and Sakura, leaving a muddy imprint behind.

"Hn. Kabuto." He does not let his anger outwardly reflect upon his visage, but internally seething with rage. Who was he to appear out of nowhere and demand to try and use him?

Sasuke must have missed something, for he sees the copycat snake's lips twitch into a smirk. "Still as talkative as ever, aren't you?" He receives no reply.

"I'll cut straight to the point then."

Kabuto's face seemed to be shadowed by the cloak of his hood, yet his glasses catch the light and it glints, blocking his eyes.

"Join me sasuke. Let's start a war."
