TITLE: KUNOICHI RUMBLE
CHAPTER 1:
It was a bright and sunny day in Konoha. The birds were chirping, people were bustling, and the sun shined with all its might. Nothing could ruin this day …
"NANI!"
Well… maybe except the loud- mouthed blond ninja of Konoha. (So why don't we head over his location at the moment.)
Well our journey brings us to the Godaime's office. If we take a good look we can see the entire rookie nine ( except Sasuke) and their sensei's as well as Gai's team.
" Naruto, yamero!" yelled Tsunade.
" Demo, Tsunade -obaasan !"
" Kuresai!"
" Nande? It's not fair!"
Tsunade quieted down for a minute and spoke again in a low, cool voice.
" Because that's the way the rules have been set with our neighboring countries."
Naruto just plopped down on the floor and began to pout.
" As if was saying, before I was rudely interrupted, Konoha is hosting an all kunoichi tournament. It is open to chunin only. The point of this tournament is to pick out the Kunoichi who is best for the job."
" What job?" asked Ino.
" Well we are looking for a strong kunoichi who is good in battle and can be trusted to carry important documents . But besides from that they must be sharp because they will need to extract a lot of information."
" Demo, hokage –sama , males are capable of doing the task as well as the females."
" Sodana Neji. Demo, we believe the kunoichi will be better suited for the job."
" What exactly is that job?" asked TenTen.
" You will be given two scrolls to deliver to Haruna-hime , princess of Nano country. The information encrypted in the scrolls provide information vital to her goals. But the problem is that we don't know how to decipher the information, so Haruna- hime and you will have to travel to the Stone Country to meet a man who will assist you , but he specifically requested we send a kunoichi."
The Godaime cleared her throat before she spoke again.
" But besides that, the winner will be rewarded various other things. One thing is a weapon set that includes any weapons a shinobi can dream of . Second you will get to have private training sessions with me and Jiraiya -sama for a month to hone your skills. And finally the winner will receive this golden raindrop pendant. It is said that the owner that wields this necklace will be rewarded with great powers in time of need."
Tenten's eyes lit up when she heard about the weapon set and the training with Tsunade.
Her dream was to become a great ninja like her when she first became a genin, after all.
But of course Sakura had already beaten her to it. She used to be her apprentice. Who knew what powers the girl had attained. She was sure she had gained many because the girl had trained continuously with practically everyone in the village.
First was Tsunade, then Gai, then her, then Kakashi. After that she just toned her skills with the others. And to think all that began after Sasuke had betrayed the village.
At times she envied the girl. She tried so hard to become stronger . She would always push herself past her limits until she couldn't move anymore.
Tenten turned back around the face the godaime, only to find she had a grimace look on her face.
" Dosda?"
" But of course these tournaments have their hardships. I have been asked to choose the kunoichi that I believe are ready for the tournament. Not all kunoichi are qualified. Listen up, and listen closely. This exam may be even more dangerous and deadly than the chunin exams."
A look of shock spread over the chunin's faces. The chunin exam had been brutal.
" It's very likely that some of you will die during this tournament. In the exams, you were in a three man cell. But this time, it's every kunoichi for themselves."
The shock on their faces grew wider, especially the girls, for they were the ones participating in it.
" I have thought this over for a long time. Tenten , Hinata , Ino, Sakura, I have chosen all four of you to participate in the tournament."
The four kunoichi cringed. They all knew this was going to happen.
" I believe that you are all ready for this challenge. This will be a televised event for the first two parts of the tournament. Then there will be spectators for the third part. Now, the tournament begins in two months so I would take this as preparation time . You are all dismissed."
" I have an idea," said Kakashi, " Since it is only 8am, why don't we all go out and start training you guys for the tournament. Each of you can go with the jounin in charge of you and train with your teammates.
" Sounds good!" Hinata, Tenten and Ino chorused together.
Kakashi turned to his student, the only one that hadn't answered yet. Her bumble gum bangs were covering her eyes and she was clenching her fist together.
" Sakura, does it sound good to you?"
Everyone turned to the kunoichi waiting for her answer. A second later , the kunoichi unclenched her fist and looked up with a bright smile on her face.
" Sounds good!"
" Hell yeah!" chimed Inner Sakura.
Everyone was a little surprised by her actions. They hadn't seen her smile that like that in a long time. She hadn't smiled so brightly, well, since he left. She would always have a serious look on her face and would train all day long. Now that they looked at her , they couldn't help but notice how much she had really changed.
First, she had changed her look. She was no longer wearing that red dress she always had. Instead she wore a black halter top with the Haruno symbol on the back in white and black shorts. She had her legs bandaged from her knees down as well as her right arm. She also had bandages wrapped around her thigh for her kunai holster. Around her waist she always had a small pack that held her weapons and scrolls. Her forehead protector was still worn as a ribbon for her hair and she had a blue crystal necklace hanging on her neck. And finally on her left arm she had a purple diamond, much like the one inscribed on Tsunade's forehead, near her shoulders.
" Well, what are we waiting for?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouths everyone began to hurry out. She couldn't help but laugh at their antics. Just before she herself was about to leave, Tsunade confronted her. All she said was a few words before she turned her attention away from her.
" Sakura, don't worry. You will do well. I believe in you."
" Arigatou."
Sakura fell back hard on the ground completely exhausted. Her body felt numb and she couldn't move. Kakashi's training had pushed her past her limits just like she wanted it, She couldn't remember the last time he trained them like this.
The silver-haired jounin walked up to the girl and hoisted her on his shoulders. There was no way she was gonna make it home by herself. She could barely move. So he brought her to Naruto's instead.
" Good job today Sakura."
" Arigatou Kakashi –sensei."

Two months flew by as the four girls trained endlessly, day after day. The day had finally come and they were already for what lay ahead of them. The tournament had finally begun.
