I do not own Naruto. Naruto was created and illustrated by Kishimoto Masashi.


Chapter: Prologue

There is always a possibility that I could die. During a mission, war, or when death decides my time is up. Death has always lingered near me, by me. Friends and cherished ones never come home or when they do it's only for a short period of time. This is the way of the shinobi, you never ask why, it's just a mission. You go to the academy, train to become the highest level possible, and hope you don't die in battle. Death is always around. I never thought I would care about dying. Didn't think I would ever feel, I ended up being apart of something that I never imagined.

I never thought that the people I came to know would be called family. The people I grew up to hate would be with me till the end. I was never cherished or considered a treasured friend. I was a secret, one that had to be kept until my last breath. My comrades could never know that I was not officially one of them. I was placed here to protect one of them. It's a confusing mess that I couldn't even follow. My destiny was a gray area, I had to follow orders not by one but two rulers of different villages. My future is one that is not written down because I should always be the unknown.

My name is Mori Sakura and I am not a Konoha ninja. I was placed in Konoha to help protect the Jinchuuriki and help him become civilized. We are the same age with completely different backgrounds. Although we have one fact in common: we are both orphans. I am a device served as a secret alliance between Kirigakure and Konoha. While helping Konoha and the Jinchuuriki I am also supposed to give Mizukage of Kirigakure updates with anything that I find amiss in Konoha. I walk a fine line between both villages, one that can kill me at any moment.

A little after the massacre of the Uchiha clan I went to the 3rd Hokage of Konoha and asked him to alter my mission. To Sarutobi's surprise I didn't want to alter it to make me free. I wanted to alter it by putting another person on that list: Uchiha Sasuke. I already knew that when I became a genin I would be with Naruto because I am his protector. But the Uchiha boy was fueled by revenge so he didn't care about anything or anybody. Which is exactly what the junjuriki needs to become stronger. So, the 3rd Hokage granted my wish. But my reason for doing so and the 3rd Hokage's are very different.

As a Kirigakure shinobi I am trained to become the finest deadliest weapon with great chakra control and and an impressive kekkei genkai. As a Konoha kunoichi I have very good chakra control but I have to keep my actions on pare with the other shinobi's my age. The mission that I have been granted is something that clouds my vision and has me re-evaluate my duty.

If I am retracted from my mission at anytime with little to no notice it means war. If I decide to become an official Konoha kunoichi at any point of time means war. Whatever I do and every step I take has consequences. Straddling two villages is a burden that was put upon me, I couldn't even voice my own opinion about it. I was forced to undertake a very unfortunate alliance that can be broken anytime and It's up to me to mend it if anything goes wrong.

It's not the mission exactly that scares me. It's the fact that I started caring for three individuals that I have started to doubt. Doubt my very mission and the reason that I exist. The more I started feeling for them the more I wonder which village I hold more priority to. The one that I was born to and shed blood for. Or the the village that treats me fairly and whom I have bled for.

My name is Haruno Sakura and I am part of team seven. A proud member and friend to Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Hatake Kakashi. They are people that I cherish and love and hope to protect with my very being. I may not be strong but one day I hope to surpass my teammates and have them look at me as an equal. One day I hope to have a mind of my own and to break free of this trivial task. And if during the duration of my stay in Konoha my team and I's bonds are broken, I will shed blood to mend our bonds again. Because unknowingly they became my family and the reason why I am afraid of dying.

This is my unwritten documentation of my life. I'm going to tell my story from the beginning, starting now...


This will be my first fanfic with multiple chapters. I am really bad at updating so I will only put chapters up periodically or when I get inspiration.
