Chapter 1

It was a perfect sunny day in Konohakagure. The cherry blossom trees were in bloom. Their delicate pink flowers danced in the wind, while the beautiful aroma drifted to the streets. Merchants had set up small stalls to sell food, clothes and trinkets. Meanwhile children ran from store to store, laughing and skipping along.

A young woman strolls down the buzy street, her shimmering green eyes taking in her surroundings. She knew she wasn't going to stay here for long, since she was a part time ninja working in secret for the hokage. Even though she was beautiful. with her creamy pale skin and long silky pink hair, she was dressed in slightly dirty, tattered clothes. Her outfit consisted of a red t-shirt, a modest black skirt, and black sandals.

She glanced at some children passing by as her own childhood memories came flooding back. They weren't happy memories, that's for sure.

The girl had grown up in the ninja academy in Konoha, but was later sent to a geisha training school. She was a orphan and she had no relatives, except for her aunt who came to the academy once in a while with a gift or some money. She had never even seen her parents. She had been told that they died in a fire right after she was born. The girls at the geisha school were cruel, taunting her about her looks, especially her wide forhead. Her only comfort came from her best friend Ino, who always cheered her up and encouraged her.

But after Ino turned 8, she became frail and got sick often. Many times she would faint in the middle of a dance. Ino's shiny,beautiful hair became dull and flat and her complesion was sallow and awful. Her illness could only be cured by a special plant called ginsing. The director of the school decided she wasn't fit to be a geisha, heck, she looked like she was going to die soon! So he told the girl to take Ino to the forest and leave her there. The girl begged the director to let Ino live but he wouldn't relent. Having no choice, she carried Ino to the forest and she cried. A couple hours later she heared rustling in the trees, and the girl looked up. Their were a few ninjas training with their sensei. She ran up to them and told them about Ino's situation. the kind sensei agreed to take Ino in as his student. She has never seen Ino since then, but she knows she's safe.

After graduating from school, she travelled from city to city, working as a geisha. When she turned 14 she decided to be a ninja again. Thus she reaturned to Konoha to seek a job. So here she was now, on her latest mission: finding a forbidden scroll. As she wandered the streets, she notices a crowd in a fancy Chinese restaurant. She decided to step in and take a look.

It seemed like an auction was taking place. At the front of the restaurant, a stunning blonde female stood on a table.

She said "Hello ladies and gentlemen..." but no one was listening, they were all crowded around a table in the middle. A vein popped on the lady's forehead.

"LISTEN UP! I, TSUNADE, AM THE OWNER OF THIS RESTAURANT. LIKE IT OR NOT YOU ALL HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" She screamed. Everyone had their eyes focused on her.

" Ehem, as I was saying, welcome to the informal auction. We are bidding for this plant right here, a ginsing. It has special medicinal effects, and can cure any illness. this is the largest and best ginsing plant found in asia. It can..." Tsunade started explaining, but the girl was thinking "Any illness? Even Ino's? I have to get it then."

"Okay this gentleman is giving 1000 yen. Anyone else?" Tsunade was saying.

"I'll take it for 2000 yen!" The girl shouted, without even considering the fact that she barely had 100 yen on her.

Tsunade face the girl. "hmp, you? An ordinary beggar can afford this? Sorry little girl."

"WHAT! Whatch your mouth, old lady. Of course I can afford it, my father is, uh, the richest man in uh FIRE COUNTRY!" The girl shouted back.

"Oh? Your from the Haruno clan?" Tsunade questioned, but not really believing her.

"Yeah! In fact, I'm the, uh, heiress of all the Haruno clan's fortunes!" The girl replied. People in the crowd started whispering " She's Haruno Sakura? Really?"

Hearing this, the girl added " And my name is Haruno Sakura!" It was a big gamble, but she really needed the ginsing.

"I don't believe you, a rich heiress dresses in rags? What, you think I'm stupid?" Tsunade retorted.

"Bu-but I am!" Sakura was desperate.

"Che, yeah right," Tsunade said.

"Wait a minute," a young man spoke from the back of the crowd.
