"Ugh." Sakura grunted in torture as she shifted her body to a comfortable position.

Every tiny inch of her body aches like poison. She could feel liquid, probably blood, dripping down from her skin and her head throbbing from nausea.

She adjusted her eyesight but to no avail, her vision was pitch black. Trying to stand up, she ended up slipping and landing on the stony ground. Just then, she realized that she her trapped in chains.

In an instant, a spark of light illuminated from the bottom of the sealed door in front of her. With that, she noticed her surroundings. The size of the room did not reach Sakura's expectations. The stained walls kept Sakura locked inside despite the fact that the room was small and considering the chilly atmosphere, she could feel her energy getting more diminished.

The bright light widened when the door creaked open. "Heh, so you're awake now. Good timing."

Sakura desperately wanted to kill the man who had put her in misery and he was in front of her. She attempted to attack but the chains refused.

"It's so sad that such a beauty would go through this." The unknown man said while walking near her. He was tall and well-built based on his dark figure as he talk with a deep voice.

Sakura couldn't familiarize the person due to the light behind him. But she did know that he was holding an injection.

Just as the man was able to touch Sakura's arm, she let go of his grip by kicking him on the leg, losing his balance as she spat on him-her saliva mixed with blood. "Don't you dare touch me again." She warned, glaring. Guess she was influenced by a certain someone.

"So you think you're a queen, huh? You little-" The man was about to punch Sakura so she used her arms to shield her head though another man came and stopped his ally's fist.

"Just get the job done, boss is already mad." He stated then left the scene.

The man let his anger go and injected a toxic substance in Sakura's system, despite her contrasts.

Sakura coughed a bit of blood in a split second, "W-What did you give me?" She clutched her belly, feeling her stomach getting squeezed.

"It drains your chakra." He said heartlessly. "I'm just lucky that it will also give you enough pain."

Sakura had her confused expression, but as soon as the man went for the door, nothing other than suffering was all that Sakura could feel. Turns out, it was also a liquid that enables immense torture.

"GAAAH!" She screamed in experiencing enormous soreness inside her body as the man closed the door with an accompaniment of his wicked laughter, leaving Sakura in the darkness.

"Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan, where are you?" Naruto yelled.

"Naruto, you've been shouting for hours. We won't find her like that." Sasuke replied as they search around the forest.

Crouching down, Naruto halted. "Well what do you suggest Sasuke? I can't just stand here and wait, it's Sakura we're talking about here!" By just looking at him, you would see that he may have the chance of freaking out and release the kyuubi due to worry and anger.

"And you think I don't care?" Sasuke asked with a menacing tone. Based on his features, he was beyond furious and Naruto knew that Sakura was not just a simple girl to him.

Naruto was about to answer just when Kakashi intervened.

"Boys, I think you might want to see this." Kakashi motioned them to follow him as they found a trail of scattered strips of pink hair, leading the way.

"Sakura-chan..." Naruto stared at the familiar strands of hair.

"How did you find this?" Sasuke questioned.

A smirk played by Kakashi's lips. "Do you remember the time Sakura got kidnapped before?"

Both Sasuke and Naruto shared glances before recalling the event wherein they had a mission that Sakura got kidnapped and the two boys' hands were stuck in a ball of sticky goo in which they had to use teamwork to defeat the enemies and rescue their teammate.

"After that incident happened, we used Kushina's trick in case it would happen again and now, quite a few kunoichis were saved by her brilliant idea."

By hearing his mother's name in recognition, Naruto automatically smiled and he could feel his heart being touched by warmth.

Most kunoichis were advised or suggested to use Uzumaki Kushina's way if ever they were taken-which was to pluck strands of their hair and leave it on the ground to make a path.

In Sakura's case, her hair was not that long so after a few meters there was a drench of her medicines that has a huge impact in terms of smell.

But how did she do it when she was knocked out? She already felt an anonymous presence so she used her healing abilities to overcome blackouts with enough chakra. Then she pretended as if she really was in a coma when they reached the destination though she managed to leave marks for her teammates to see the track.

When the path stopped in an abandoned house, they noticed a gang of men went out the home once they were in sight.

"So it's you guys." Naruto gritted, obviously pissed, his teeth getting sharper with some of the kyuubi's chakra.

It was the men who were mentally molesting Sakura when they passed by before.

Kakashi stood behind the two furious men-that was once known as his students before. "Take it easy boys." He warned, frankly enjoying the tension. It was a long time since he experience a fight.

On the other hand, Sasuke smirked evilly with his clenched fists, his body engulfed in his lightning. "Get ready to meet hell."

Thus, the bloodfest had begun.

Her body had enough. Sakura was completely out of chakra. With no light, she could only feel her wounds and bruises bleeding or in a worse state.

She felt like crap.

At some point, she already felt like dying. Probably due to the attacks, poison and lack of energy. She was actually astonished that her senses (except for sight) are still working.

An explosive roar caught Sakura's attention. She tried to call for help-but her voice was cracked and she highly expected for her voice to fade because she has not receive much water for the past couple of hours, including the fact that her energy is diminished.

"You bastards!"

"Naruto?"

"Where is she?!"

"Kaka-sensei?"

The door in front of her banged open. Her vision was starting to fade. But she swore that she saw a glimpse of an angel.

"Sakura!"

"Sasuke..."
