81A/N: To those of you who are reading Cherryblossom in Pain, I know I need to update with it, but I have major writers block and it's killing me. I decided that since I'm stuck with that I might as well step away from it for a while and work on something else and when I come back to it I'll work on it and hopefully be over my writers block. Anyway I hope you'll like this fanfic and two more things before I get started with this story: 1. I won't be able to update extremely fast with this fanfic and 2. NO FLAMES! ALL FLAMES ARE GOING TO TICK ME OFF AND THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE! Okay? Okay.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto T.T ARE YOU HAPPY NOW YOU STINKING LAYERS?!

I couldn't take it anymore. The pain was just too much for me to handle. Orochimaru had launched the final battle against Konoha, and as a result, he was defeated by his ex-teammate, the whole village was destroyed as well as the Sound Village, and only a select few people survived the attack, and each person that was left was in critical condition with the exception of two people.
I'd lost everyone except for one person, but she was almost at her breaking point as well. I had to find some way to fix this.
I went to my last resort; I looked through the forbidden scroll.
I had already read and memorized the whole scroll. I knew how much chakra each jutsu needed, the handsigns, the conditions, but most of all the cost of every forbidden jutsu within the scroll.
Only one jutsu would work to fix what happened though. I had just enough chakra, I could now do the handsigns in my sleep, and the conditions worked to my advantage.
I was ready to perform the jutsu. Now I just needed to convince the only person I had left to go through with it. I had played out every argument she could possibly come up with, and I had a counter argument that overruled each one.
I sat in Tsunade-shishou's office. My mentor was the only one I had left. I sat in front of her and looked into her aged and wise hazel eyes. She took me off guard as she cut me off before I said anything,
"Yes, you can use the jutsu, I will be the second person that has to know and help, and yes, I know about your whole plan to fix things by going back in time. But before we start anything for this, we need to discuss a few things."
"What things"
I asked her, showing no emotion. I had learned to be even more stoic than the—now dead—Uchiha himself.
"Details to watch out for after the jutsu is performed."
"Which details?"
"Small ones that aren't going to sound very important but are going to make all the difference after it happens."
I raised a questioning eyebrow and she continued,
"One detail is the fact that you will still have your inhuman strength, your chakra levels, and all of your advanced jutsus that you've learned. You can't use them."
This is where my emotionless personality changes to the personality I inherited from training with Tsunade-shishou. I stood up and said,
"What! Why can't I use them?"
She remained calm, motioned for me to sit down, and after I did she said,
"Because if you do use them you'll raise too much attention to yourself. You're going to be a genin again and those abilities are too advanced for chunins and some jounins, let alone the mere genin you're going to be. I want you to keep yourself in check from letting yourself show off too much. There's more. I want you to tell your parents, Kakashi, and no one else. They need to know so that if something happens and you have to use an advanced jutsu they can help cover up for it. Also, since I'm going to remember everything as well, I'm going to tell Shizune about it and I'm going to come back to Konoha. I think there's just too much at steak if I don't. Then I can also tell everyone that I'm making you my apprentice so you can have a bit of freedom with some of the things you can do. This is the last thing; I'm just going to remind you that if this jutsu fails, the consequences can be fatal. Are you entirely sure that you want to follow through with this?"
I knew she was worried. Just like she was the last person I had left, I was the last person she had left. I was positive though. We were both at our breaking points and I almost went past mine until I found this jutsu. I was going to lose it one way or another if I didn't go through with this jutsu and I couldn't do that to her. I nodded my head with confidence and she lowered her head, sighed, and raised it with a look of confidence in her eyes that I hadn't seen in who knows how long. I smiled, it wasn't an entirely true smile, but it was the closest thing I was probably ever going to get to. She mirrored my smile and said,
"Very well, Sakura, go prepare yourself. We'll do the jutsu tomorrow at the basement of the hospital. I already have most of the preparations complete for it."
I nodded my head and left with one thought on my mind,
'I can last one more night. Tomorrow, we'll do the jutsu, and get ready to fix…everything.'
