"Hinata Hyuga, Shikamaru Nara, Sasuke Uchiha, Choji Akemichi, Naruto Uzumaki, Ino Yamanaka, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame. Your mission is to be led by Jonin Hinata Hyuga and Chunin Shikamaru Nara. Hinata will lead of Sasuke, Naruto, and Kiba. Shikamaru will lead Choji, Ino, and Shino. Is this clear?"

"Hai" We all chorused standing in front of Tsunade.

"Your mission is recon, you are to track and retrieve information on the missing Leaf kunoichi Sakura Haruno. Find out as much information as possible so we can send in a team to eliminate the threat. This is recon only." She sent a pointed look to Naruto. "That means you will do your best to stay undetected, do not engage in combat unless absolutely necessary. Do not fail this mission and all of you brats better come back in one piece. Scatter!" We flashed out of her office and began our journey, Kiba and my squad tracking one of the scents of his teammate, Shino and his squad tracking the other. I never in my mind thought Sakura would go rogue, I knew she harbored deep rooted issues but I didn't know that my meddling and changing the team lineup would have such a negative affect on Sakura. Instead of Sasuke leaving to Orochimaru, Sakura did. I don't know why but I know it's my fault. If I wasn't here this would have never happened. This mission, if we find her, I want to convince her to come back or at least find out why she betrayed her home.

———————————————————————————————————————

"KIBA DUCK!" Akamaru jumped in Kiba's way, taking the full blunt of the fireball that was meant for Kiba. He let out a whimper and went limp. Naruto retaliated instantly and used the last of this chakra represent seals to take the guy out. Sasuke had Naruto's back and knocked out the humanoid like creature that was aiming for Naruto.

"You BASTARDS hurt Akamaru I'm going to rip all of you to shreds!" Kiba yelled out, his voice feral and shaking. He was pissed and the killing intent he was letting off was so potent it rivaled Kakashi's. His mind went blank as he got down on all fours and began shredding through the enemy as Akamaru lay steaming on the ground, little whimpers being the only indicator that he's alive.

My first mission leading as a Jonin without Kakashi was not supposed to go this way. it was a simple recon but Kami forbid that something goes well for us. Our trail went cold which means Shikamaru's squad hopefully found Sakura's whereabouts, so as we were taking layout of the land and searching for why her scent led to this area, we were caught in an ambush. The chakra of the people attaching us was so animalistic in Nature Kiba and Akamaru deduced it as that, leaving me no need to use chakra on my Byakugan for the moment. It was a dumb mistake that I'm paying for. The ambush was instant and Sasuke took a Kunai to the shoulder protecting Naruto's back. After that all hell broke loose. The attackers were not normal, they were henchman of Orochimaru and they all were upgraded with the curse mark that made their minds unstable and they only knew to attack and aim for the kill. There were hundreds of them and they made up for their lack of brains with their inhuman strength. Each person I took down it seemed that two more replaced him. They were here for Sasuke and no way in hell was I going to let that happen.

Kiba was wild and not moving in any particular fashion, his vision was red and he was more reckless than usual. Somehow they managed to separate Naruto and Sasuke from Kiba and I which was not good, we needed to reconnect as soon as possible but Kiba was not listening to reason and I couldn't leave him here alone. Naruto and Sasuke were strong enough to stay safe, I'm betting on it. Trying to protect everyone was proving difficult and with the amount of jutsu's I've used in the past few hours, my chakra is running dangerously low. I received a blow to the head that was also making my vision hazy and more difficult to make clear decisions. The glint of a Kunai showed itself aiming at Akamaru and before they could react, I flashed over, grabbing the kunai and throwing it back the direction it came. It made contact by the outraged cry that escaped someone's lips. With the distraction of the Kunai, I failed to see the senbon hidden in the shadow and it pierced my forearm. I pulled it out and picked Akamaru up and with one hand began to focus on healing him while making sure Kiba was not in too much danger. After the wound was no longer too dangerous, I laid Akamaru down and rejoined the battle.

My heart began to beat at an irregular pattern and blood was dripping out of my eyes like tears. I realized the purpose of the senbon too late: poison. There was no way I was going to make it out of this, my medical skills were still not good enough to remove the poison from my system fast enough to counteract it's effects and if I go down, they would take Kiba down too. I'm banking on Orochimaru still not wanting to kill me so I can pull out a final move and either win or get captured. I have to let Kiba escape and get the treatment his wounds need. He's running on pure adrenaline now and wont be able to fight for long either.

"Kiba Akamaru is fine, he's safe. Get the hell out of here and go find Naruto and Sasuke. Leave this to me!" he snapped out of his trance and looked at his partner in crime, then to me in horror at my appearance.

"No way idiot, I'm not leaving you here."

"This is an order from your superior, not your friend. Get your ass out of here now, I'm right behind you!" I snapped at him, all sense of kindness leaving my voice. He knew I was serious and so he picked up Akamaru and gave me one last glance.

"Don't you dare die on me, I'll kill you myself if that happens. I already lost Sakura, I'm not losing you too." I gave a bloodied smirk and he disappeared from my sight.

"I've been meaning to try this out for a while, now's a good a time as any! You fuckers will make perfect practice." I activated my Byakugan once again and made the series of hand signs, pulling the Hydrogen and Oxygen molecules in the air to form into water as I pumped the remaining reserves of Chakra into my final jutsu. The water encased me and I watched my Chakra flow through the water molding it into the shaky form of a Lion's head. I pushed my chakra into it to control the movements and electrified the water around me, shocking me slightly but nothing compared to what I have in store. Black dots danced across my bloodied vision and the poison was taking more effect. I ignored the burning of my insides from chakra strain and the intense pain of the drug and kept pushing. The water raised me off the ground and I completed the last hand sign.

"Lions Roar!" A loud roar echoed across the area and the lion crashed into the opponents around me, hitting with such an intense pressure to kill those it hit directly and the extra spray of water acting as a conductor for the lightning to send a large dose of electricity to the rest. Everyone went down and I crashed to the ground in a panting mess. My body was heavy and I could barely hold an eyelid open as I lay face down into the muddied ground around me and coughed up blood.

I let out a sigh of relief that I'd managed to semi-pull off an armored jutsu I had been creating to help me match up to the power of the Susanoo and Kyuubi cloak. My vision was blurred and a form was coming back. I thought it was one of my team members but the obnoxious slow clapping said otherwise. My vision faded completely along with the rest of my strength, I was pushing myself to stay awake at this point.

"That was marvelous, to create such a powerful jutsu that took out my best men in one hit. You really are something special little Hyuga. But look at your pitiful state now, come with me and I will give you more power. Don't worry, when Sasuke-kun realized you've joined me he will come running too. Together we will be all powerful."

"F-f-fuck you snake bastard. Sasuke's... he's not an ob-object."

"So be it." He let out a devious chuckle and a pressure hit the base of my neck and I was out completely.

(3d Pov)\

Sasuke, Naruto, and Kiba finished off the rest of their opponents and ran to where Hinata was seen last. The scene they were met with was gruesome. There were craters from punches and attack, bodies lay strewn about with their limbs twisted in unnatural angles and their muscles spasming from the mass electrical surge. The only thing they were thinking was "what the hell happened here." That was until they noticed there was a small pool of blood with the outline of a body but nothing there. Kiba smelt the blood and grimaced at the familiar scent of his best friend. Sasuke and Naruto new from the look in his eyes who made that dent in the ground. They all looked around frantically but new in their hearts that Hinata was gone. There were footprints leading to and away from her body, they were too big to be hers and each knew she had been kidnapped.

Sasuke was first to act, he grabbed Kiba by his fur coat and pinned him up against a tree, his 3 tomoe Sharingan spinning threateningly.

"You did this, this is all your fault. If you hadn't left her she'd be fine. She'd be in my arms right now safe, not heading to Kami knows where because you are such a fuck up. It should have been you! Not her, you Kiba!" Sasuke was yelling out his frustrations, putting the blame on Kiba even though he felt the blame was on him just as much. Kiba did nothing to stop it. He agreed with everything, it was his fault. If he hadn't left his best friend alone, if he'd disobeyed her orders than she'd be fine and he'd be the one possibly dead. Naruto was pushing down the fox that was threatening to come out. His elongated nails were pushing into his palms and when Sasuke prepared to throw another punch, he stepped in, gripping Sasuke's fist tightly.

"Stop. This is not one person's fault, it is all of ours so stop. Hinata-chan is strong, stronger than all of us. We're going to get her back. We're going to get her back I promise. Dammit, we're going to take her back!" Naruto had fire burning in his eyes, his determination gave hope to Sasuke and Kiba, if anyone would be able to save her it would be them. No matter what. With guilt and an overwhelming desire to save their comrade, the trio left to meet back with Shikamaru's squad. They knew that if anyone could make a solid plan, it would be the lazy genius. The reunited classmates returned to the village and the looks on their faces and the battered bodies of Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, and Akamaru as well as the absence of a familiar blue haired girl altered the gate guards that the mission went awry and she was missing, if not worse.

The news of Hinata's kidnapping spread like wildfire and the wails of Hanabi echoed throughout the village. ANBU went back to the crime scene and determined Hinata was in Orochimaru's clutches, the fears of Kakashi, Tsunade, Zabuza, and Hiashi came to fruition. He needed her for something despicable and Hinata needed to be rescued sooner rather than later, at his mercy he will do his best to break the young girl. Tsunade prepared a squad of elites stationed in the village: Hiashi, Kakashi, Zabuza, and Shino with the plan planned out to a T under the guidance of Shikaku and Shikamaru. 

The rest of the Konoha 11 were not aloud to join the mission because of their overemotional states, none of the were thinking clearly and all of them were pissed to not be able to help. So, Shikamaru played double agent and gave information to the Konoha 11 plus Gaara to go on the rescue mission as well, just hidden in the shadows and as backup to step in when things go bad. And knowing it has to do with Orochimaru, things will always go bad. Sasuke was the worst off, he knew what the snake man was after, him. He was willing to trade himself for Hinata, give up his body so she can keep hers. He was on a team, but he was also on a solo mission that he thinks nobody knows about. After weeks of planning and scouting, they found her location and everything was ready to be set into motion.

———————————————————————————————————————

(Hinata POV)

Pain, thats all I could feel as my senses began to come back. I opened my eyes and the area around me was lit with a faint glow of artificial light dancing across the wetness of the dark grey rock. It was eerily silent save for the drip of water that hit against the floor next to me every few seconds. I couldn't move the only feelings I had were of the cold shackles rubbing against the raw skin of my wrists and ankles, the constant draining of my chakra, and the pain. It was no longer a dull throb but a burning fire coursing through my veins. Each breath rattled in my chest, the obvious signs of broken ribs. My foot was twisted at an odd angle as well: dislocated. I don't know where I am, the last thing my foggy memory could piece together was Kiba's retreating from. What the hell did I do to end up in such a pitiful state. How long have I been gone, where the fuck am I. My gut twisted and I knew whatever I was in for, it wouldn't be good.

The light of the cave brightened up and I was finally able to make out where I was, not a cave but a cell. The barred cell door was unlocked and Orochimaru walked in licking his lips. He was followed by Kabuto sporting a lecherous grin, and limping slightly and the clank of a metal limb was coming from him.

"You've finally awoken my sweet little Hyuga. Is everything to your liking?" Orochimaru's deep voice laughed out at his version of a joke. I couldn't open my mouth to say anything back. "Kabuto, you know what to do."

"Yes my lord." Kabuto knelt down next to me but I had no power to move away. He pulled me into his lap and began to heal me. His chakra was as soothing as the first time, cooling and comforting. It made me uneasy that he was able to manipulate his chakra in such a way to make it feel so calming, it took away all of my nerves which made me more wary. The blood that was still dripping down my head stopped and the rest of my major injuries hurt a hell of a lot less. The blood blocking off my throat was cleared. The small amount of my chakra began to leave my body and mix with Kabuto's. He groaned in pleasure moaning about how my chakra is addicting. It sent shivers down my spine, but the intense feeling of his chakra overpowered it and kept flowing to relax me as fast as I tensed up. (A/n remember Kabuto is a chakra whore for some reason, like a vampire with blood.)

"W-what the hell do you want with m-me." My hoarse and shaking voice spoke out.

"I want 3 things from you, and in return I will do 3 things for you." His yellow eyes peirced into my soul as he spoke out his next words. "You have more information than I was even able to acquire. I am after ultimate knowledge and I want to know what you know and how you know it. Kabuto informed me of your knowledge on my old partner Sasori, you knew he was a spy even before I did. Tell me how you gained this information and I will give you the power you desire. I see it in your eyes, the intense craving for strength, for power. I will give it to you." He waited for my reaction but I gave none, it was still processing and my body was still in too much pain to really respond. He clicked his tongue in annoyance but continued on anyways. "I want Sasuke Uchiha's eyes. The legendary Shairingan. With those eyes I will have every juts in my arsenal. You and Sasuke are close, the darkness in his heart was counteracted by you and the 9-tails. If I have you, Sasuke will come and then I can have his body and your mind. You bring the Uchiha to me and stay by my side and I will make sure no one you love will die. I'll even bring your lovely mother back to you. And last, I want to destroy the hidden leaf village and the bastards of the Akatsuki. With the Sharingan and you by my side it will be easy and we wont fail. You willingly join me and my conquest I will give you everything you desire in the new chaotic world of mine. With ultimate power and knowledge, what you wish I will give."

His argument was sound, he's right I do desire power, more so than I'd like to admit. I'm not that far off from Orochimaru but my ultimate goals are opposing his and there is no way in hell I'd give to him like that. Sasuke is not somebody to just take, he's my Sasuke and no way would I let him or anyone else take him from me. The village he wants to destroy is the one I'm trying to protect, the Akatsuki are also on my list. They deserve better and I'm going to fight for them, to give them a better chance at life and if he's standing in my way of that, I will stop trying to save him. At this rate it seems like he is too far gone.

"Fuck you." I rasped out as my eyes glared into his golden ones. The healing from Kabuto ceased and the pain flooded back in. I gasped in pain and blacked out again.

"If you wont willingly concede to me, there are other methods. I don't care what it takes. Kabuto you know what to do, bring her in and get to work. Break her body, her mind. Do whatever it takes to get the information I desire. Then when that is complete, make her give in to me, to give in to the bloodlust she is holding back. I want my weapon."

(3d person POV) Warning: This will be graphic descriptions of torture mentally and physically so skip this if you can't handle it!

The blue haired girl blinked open her lavender eyes, scanning the area around her in slight worry. Her thoughts were racing when she realized she was in strapped to a chair in a sterile room filled with different weapons and medical supplies. The room was bright with white light and she looked in a mirror at her disheveled form.

She was stripped down to the bare minimum to cover herself. Her usually beautiful face was swollen and bruised with blood caked on from when it poured out of her eyes and mouth. Her hair was matted with blood and her eyes which were normally vibrant were dull and sunken in from the week of not eating. Her cheeks were hollow and beginning to fit the look of a skeleton. Her eyes filled with panic at the sight of when she finally realized she was looking in a mirror at herself and not some random girl. 

Her breathing was ragged and her emaciated state made her look younger than her 13 year old self. Bruises and cuts were stretched across her thinning toned stomach and legs. There was a small puncture wound on her thigh, but the blood had clotted leaving the dark purple trail of blood trailing down her leg. She grit her teeth as the door opened, she prepared something snarky to say to mask the terror she was feeling but all of her thoughts disappeared as the person came into view.

A girl of 14 with short pink hair and emerald eyes stepped into view wearing the traditional attire of a follower of Orochimaru. Her green eyes seemed to glow with a look of pure hatred and sadistic joy at seeing the girl she had spent so much time hating in such a shitty condition. Hinata let out a shaky sigh as she saw her old friend looking so evil. She didn't understand, was Sakura there to get her out. If she was any less naive she would have believed it, but the pure unbridled hatred that Saukra carried, and the fact that she was a missing ninja answered her questions for her. Sakura was not there for any friendly means. The emotions she had been suppressing on the aspect of her former pink haired friend welled up and with teary eyes and a broken voice, Hinata finally spoke.

"Sakura... why." The question was vague but Sakura was no idiot. Her red lined lips twitched up in a smirk that was so full of malice and the intent of pain. She let out a laugh and stared Hinata down, not afraid of the strong girl who was so weak at the moment.

"Why, I did this because of you. I hate you, I hate everything about you. You stole everything from me, Sasuke-kun is mine. I should have been on his team, not you. I was supposed to get stronger alongside him, to see him everyday and have him talk to me. He is supposed to love me, I'll give him everything. You're just a pretty face that has nothing going for you, you are not good, you are just a thief. Sasuke-kun needs a lady who is strong but a lady he can protect, who will give him children. You're not worthy enough to be anywhere near him. Lord Orochimaru knows this is the truth and recognized my talent. I will follow Lord Orochimaru wherever as long as it means Sasuke-kun will be mine. He promised me that my Sasuke-kun would come to him, and I will be right here too by his side as we laugh over your broken body. Sasuke will forget all about you and finally realize his love for me. Lucky for me, I am one of the ones who get's to break oh-so-strong Hinata. If I'm lucky, when I'm done with you, you'll keel over and die." She sneered at Hinata, her evil laugh echoing through the room. The words processed in the Hyuga's head and she felt pain, not for herself but for Sakura. She felt guilty that Sakura's words had truth, Hinata did take Sakura's place on Team 7. She was there to reach her goals but Hinata thinks Sakura may be right in thinking that Hinata was just being selfish.

Hinata was silent and Sakura took it as a sign of defeat, her acceptance that she was nothing more than scum and deserving her death. The pink rogue's mind was clouded with her supposed love for Sasuke and when Orochimaru noticed this, he manipulated the girl with empty, sweet promises of Saskue being hers if she follows him and puts her exceptional Genjutsu skills to benefit Orochimaru. What better way to break Hinata and get her to spill her secrets and make her a mindless, bloodlust filled drone for Orochimaru's than by using her friends against her. Flip the tables and make her dreams and ideals seem selfish until she gives up. Finally, the lavender eyed girl controlled her thoughts, wanting to not upset Sakura more in this tense situation.

"You- you might be right. I am selfish, I am a liar. I cant deny it, but that is my job as a kunoichi to be that way. The one thing you're wrong about is Orochimaru. Sakura, Orochimaru is using you, he doesn't ever plan to bring you and Sasuke together, he wants to kill Sasuke and take his body. If you love him as much as you say you do, you'd realize this and let me go. Together we can stop Orochimaru and keep Sasuke safe." Sakura slapped Hinata across her bruised face, the force snapping her head to the side. Her shrill voice rang out in fury.

"You dumb bitch, I'm not dumb enough to fall for a trick like that. Why would I believe such a crazy story from a lying bitch like you when I know the truth, Sasuke-kun loves me and is stuck with you but soon, he'll accept his desires. Lord Orochimaru promised me Sasuke-kun would come to him, to me, none of your lies will sway me from the truth."

"Sakura please listen to me!" Hinata begged out which resulted in her being met with another forceful slap. Sakura walked out of the room when she sensed Kabuto returning. Hinata had her eyes downcast, she was furious that Orochimaru was able to manipulate Sakura like that. Furious that Sakura was so hateful. Furious at the situation she was stuck in for what seemed like forever. Kabuto walked back in, the clink of his metal leg being the only sound aside from the ragged breathing of the hungry girl.

All of the pain inside of her was pushed aside as she yanked against her chains, pulling herself to attack Kabuto. Shouting at him for lying to Sakura for their own personal game. Screaming to be set free. Kabuto placed his hand over her mouth and tightened her binds around her body more, leaving no room for movement. Kabuto intertwined their chakra for a bit, getting his fix of the otherworldly chakra Hinata possesses before he was ready.

"Now now little lion. I will only let you go when you give Orochimaru what he wants. Are you ready to talk yet?"

"Go to hell you psycho!" She spat out angrily, not knowing the repercussions of her actions.

"I was afraid it would come to this. If starving you wasn't enough, it's time to up the ante. The longer you don't talk the more I torture you. The problem is I don't want your precious mind breaking just yet, I need information first so until you decide to tell me what I need to know, the only thing you will be saying is a countdown from 1000 by 7. The more you focus on that, the longer you stay sane. I'll end everything as soon as you talk. Let's start shall we."

 Kabuto placed a while lab coat on and picked up the scalpel on the tray beside Hinata. She looked up at him with narrowed eyes, egging him to do his worst. He pushed the glasses back up the bridge of his nose ran the scalpel deeply along her forearm watching in sadistic glee as the red blood slowly trickled out of the wound. Hinata started her count back from a thousand while doing her best to keep her voice even to not show any pain. The only sign of her struggle was the tense jaw and lone tear escaping her eye. He made a few more incisions on sensitive areas but realized that this was not going to take him anywhere.

"8-867...... 8-8-860......853-3." Hinata's hands were gripping the handles of the chair tightly, her knuckles white as paper. He took his hooked kunai, meant for slashing and not stabbing, from the tray and with swiftness of a ninja, jammed it into her hand, pushing the curved blade through until it was stuck in the chair. With his medical prowess, he made sure to hit no vital spots, when healed, there would be no sign of damage except for a scar.

A loud bloodcurdling scream ripped from the girls throat and Kabuto ceased his torture and waited for the cries to subside.

"This will all be over if you tell me what I want to know." His voice was light and sympathetic, contrasting with the blood covering his face and clothes. Hinata gave a pause before glaring up at Kabuto.

"Is that all you have to make me talk? My grandma stabs harder than you and she's dead." She gasped out, her voice tight from pain but the annoyance was there. A bloody smirk was given to aggravate her torturer. She was not giving in to him and he wanted to see how far he'd be able to push her.

"So be it." Kabuto ripped out the blade and stabbed it into the wound healing on her thigh, pushing past the newly reformed tissues deep into the muscle fiber. The sounds of ripping flesh and cries echoing throughout the bace once more.

"Fuck you Voldemort and Harry Potter lovechild." He looked at her confused, not understanding the insult. Usually she was better at pissing people off but the pain was getting to her, making her insults less effective when what she is saying doesn't exist.

"I don't her counting. Start over." Kabuto demanded as he continued his escapade of stabbing and slicing Hinata in places that would leave no lasting damage but was sure to hurt like hell. After she couldn't take any more pain, her head slumped down and she was out cold. Kabuto healed her body to about 50 percent so she was in no danger of blood loss and forced nutrients through a tube into her system.

The next few days went the same, Kabuto using various blades to cut up her body, re-opening wounds to make it more painful as well as digging his fingers into deep punctures to get the blood gushing. Hinata continued her counting, never making it past 587 before she'd pass out or have to start over from screaming and losing count. Not once did she beg for mercy or say anything other than less and less comprehensible insults, she never gave into the pain and forced her mind to focus on her goals, her family, her friends, and her counting to keep from giving in. When Kabuto deemed using blades worthless, he switched over to other methods of pain. He wanted to find her limit, have her beg for mercy, tell all of her secrets and give in. Kabuto wanted Hinata to accept her fate, to give in to the torture and tell them what they need to know. She was nothing more than an addicting chakra fix and pawn for his master.

Kabuto wrapped his hands around her shaking left leg and jammed his fingers between her tibia and fibula, with a grunt of effort he detached the bones from one another. Hinata's scream was louder and more shrill than before. The pain of her bones being broken one by one was slowly breaking her spirit. She kept counting through her screams but soon stopped when Kabuto decided to speak again.

"You know the best part of being medically trained? Each injury I cause, I can heal. I can break your bones over and over but there will be no evidence, I can break your body as much as I want without causing lasting damage. Well, physically at least. I wonder how many times I can snap your legs before you give in or shut down. Which one will come first? This can all end if you tell me what Lord Orochimaru desires?" Hinata's once Lavender eyes were grey and glassy, there was only a small spark of determination left within them.

"573...F-fuck...566..." She continued to count, not having the energy to respond. All of her focus was on the numbers, a way to remove herself from the living hell she was going through. After her bone had been set, Kabuto took to dislocating her shoulder that had finished it's healing from the previous few days. This time her scream lacked its pain, it was more hollow and Kabuto knew he was getting somewhere finally. Her cries died out and her body went slack once again as she gave into the one outlet she had; sleep.

———————————————————————————————————————

"Lord Orochimaru we are getting somewhere. It has been 3 weeks, I think it is time to let Haruno-san have her fun with my Hime. Physical torture will only bring us so far, with Haruno's genjutsu capabilities, the best thing now would be to let her mess with Hinata's brain. Torture her mentally until she is ready to spill. You need to make sure she does not go overboard, her hatred for Hinata may be too strong, we can't have her dying on us."

"Tomorrow then. Haruno will begin her work, as soon as we get somewhere, dispose of Haruno. She is an annoying brat and of no use to me as soon as I have Hinata and her knowledge on my side." Orochimaru licked his lips and shooed his second in command off to work on his test subjects.

"Hai."

———————————————————————————————————————

Sakura skipped in glee into Hinata's room. She was met with a wonderful sight of the girl who she pushed all of her hatred on. The girl who ruined her life and tried to take her soulmate away from her. She took her best friend, her love, even her own teammates liked Hinata more than they ever liked Sakura and now it's time for vengeance. The so called friends and family Hinata loved would show her how worthless she really is, they would turn against her and make her biggest fears come true. Sakura wanted to break Hinata, send her past the precipice of insanity and destroy the girl who tried to take everything.

Hinata was slumped over. Her body was covered in dried blood, too much so to tell the origins of the blood. Her hair had lost it's blue and was now a dark purple/black from the blood that had coated it. The visible skin was purple and green from bruising. Sakura grabbed Hinata's hair and lifted her head to see her face. Her cheeks were hollow and her face was void of emotion, she looked helpless and disgusting but Sakura was still angry. She was still pretty but now less, her beauty was hidden under blood and bruises, she was no longer pretty enough for Sasuke.

Hinata woke up staring into the green eyes of her friend. She smiled a bit, still delirious from the pain as she thought Sakura was there to save her from the tirade of Kabuto. Without wasting a moment, Sakura let her chakra flow out of her body and permeate the air as well as force itself into the brain of the broken girl in front of her. To make sure Hinata would not be able to break out of the Genjutsu, Sakura formed layers. Her first layer was a simple genjutsu of the surroundings to get Hinata caught, then she began to mix and weave the perfect scenarios. Hinata could feel the change and knew she was in a Genjutsu, and as she released it, she was still trapped, There were too many layers and it was distorting so much of reality Hinata could not tell the real from the fake anymore.

Sakura started with bringing Hinata back to the academy and having the childhood bullies, along with Sakura this time, insult Hinata for everything they could. After a while of having Hinata relive some of her more hurtful school moments, Sakura went to the next level. She cast a Genjutsu that made the person see what caused them the most emotional pain. First was her watching her mother die over and over. With the death, each time Sakura would change a detail making it unnoticeable of shifting the memory. Over the next few hours, Sakura changed her mother's death to blaming Hinata for the death. Her mother wailing out for her daughter and then when she was bloody, would blame Hinata for the death saying "You could have saved me." and "It's your fault Hanabi will grow up without a mother." Tears began to pour down Hinata's face unconsciously and Sakura delved deeper, delighted in the first crack in Hinata's mind.

Next she went on to the Uchiha massacre, having Hinata remember the details exactly, Sakura noticed a genjutsu around the memory and she thought it was a blockade to hide traumatic memories so of course she undid it and let the memories flood in. Hinata remembered the massacre, the fight with Obito, the pain, Itachi leaving. Once again, the cold dead bodies of Fugaku and Mikoto emerged from the darkness and pushed all opf the blame on Hinata. 'If she wasn't so selfish and told people of her knowledge from the beginning they wouldn't be dead and so on.' The next crack was complete and Hinata's silent cries turned into loud sobbing, begging for forgiveness and the memories to stop.

Sakura pushed on to the next stage of her specially developed torture genjutsu. This delved into Hinata's brain and found all of her insecurities, guilt, and doubt of herself and manifested them into real situations. The genjutsu's felt so real for Hinata. They had been going on nonstop for days and she was breaking. The fears she had of not doing the right thing with her knowledge, that her hero complex was actually going to make her a villain, that everyone would leave her once again and she'd be alone, that everything she was doing just made things worse for everyone. Each of these deep rooted fears Hinata had came to life. 

Her friends that she loved and worked hard for either turned their backs on her or she was forced to watch them die while she was helpless. They all blamed her and said they hated her; that their deaths were her fault and if she'd never been born they would have been happier. The people she loved abandoned her and she was alone. It all felt so real, that loneliness that she'd fought so hard to escape came back full force. She watched herself kill her friends and family as she laughed. She watched others kill them. Each scene was different and got harder and harder to get through until finally the glass shattered. The mental and physical torture became too much and Hinata couldn't take anymore. She wouldn't give Orochiamaru anything but she also couldn't keep going. She wanted out, she wanted to die. She believed that everyone she had loved was either dead or wanted her dead, it was game over.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Hinata repeated over and over, stuck in her trance. She cried and screamed and finally gave in. "Please, she begged. Please just kill me. I can't take it anymore I know I ruined everything. I know you hate me so please stop this and KILL ME! END IT I GIVE UP!" The genjutsu was released and Hinata found herself back in the room of hell. She stared into the eyes of Sakura, her own eyes completely lifeless. "Please, just take the pain away." She whispered pleadingly. Sakura was prepared to give Hinata her wish but Kabuto stepped in and made Sakura leave. Hinata's eyes fixed on his form and for the first time in a while, she showed true terror. 

Her body shook in fear and she whimpered, her eyes wide and scared like a deer caught in headlights. Kabuto stalked to her and asked her to give him answers. She was unresponsive, just saying she's sorry and asking to have the pain go away. He sighed, she was not going anywhere in her mentally and physically broken state. She thought almost everything she loved was gone and had nothing, the only bit of hope and sanity she had left at the moment was the understanding of the silver outline now. She knew it was a genjutsu, all of it, her memories Itachi had created were finally revealed. It wasn't much, it was really nothing. Even with the subconscious knowledge, it felt too real and she was close to her mind shattering into an impossible mess to fix. Even with her understanding, she didn't think she would ever get out. Her blank and lifeless eyes barely noticed as Kabuto heard yelling and rushed out.

A/N: So finally! I did it and am so pumped it turned out not so shitty. The counting part I got from Tokyo Ghoul but everything else was all my idea.
