Sakura had a decapitated head in one hand and a bloody kunai in the other when she paused to glare at the man who dared to go after one of her targets while her back was turned.

'Excuse me, ' she growled, grinding her heel against another man 's face. 'This is my bounty, not yours. Aren 't you supposed to be dead? ' The one she was addressing merely shrugged without care for the fact that he had been declared killed in action by his own summoning jutsu almost five years ago.

'I 'm a little harder to get rid of than that, ' he said. Sakura scoffed.

'Well hold still and I 'll see what I can do about that once I 'm through with these amateurs. '

She wasn 't that worried. Hoshigake Kisame was a tough nut ' clearly, if he had gone head to head with Gai-sensei, even if he had chosen to fake his own death rather than finish the fight ' but she herself wasn 't exactly a soft swinger. If he chose to run she could track him down and deal with him in turn.
