A Chance to Change
Chapter 1- Turn Off The Lights, I'm Watching Back To The Future
"SAKURA!" A hyperactive blonde haired man yelled.
At the moment, Sakura was fighting a few rogue ninjas. She heard Naruto's cry, but didn't understand why he had done that. She understood that her name was Sakura, so why was he yelling her name?
Suddenly a sharp metal object drove through her. This reminded her of the fight with Sasori. Yet, she didn't understand. Who could've driven a katana through her without her even sensing it coming?
"SASUKE-TEME!" Naruto yelled again
Did she just hear right? Did Naruto just yell Sasuke?
There was something weird going on in her head. Why was the person that attacked her not pulling out their katana? The person didn't pull out their katana, but had let go of it. What the fuck is going on?
That person then grabbed her shoulders and turned her around. Sakura's widened at what she saw. Not only was the person she saw in front of her surprising but the look in his eyes is what surprised her the most.
"S-Sakura," Sasuke said, with the saddest eyes Sakura had ever seen.
"Sasuke," Sakura said, starting to black out.
After that, she didn't know what happened. All she knew was that everything went black. For what seemed like hours, she was walking aimlessly through the dark. Yet, after a while, what seemed like an angel with black wings came to her.
"Hello, Sakura. My name is Blood." The man with black wings said.
"Ummmm….. Okay, Blood. Where am I exactly?" Sakura asked.
"Well, you are in the space between life and death." Blood said.
"Okay?" Sakura asked.
"Well, long story short, I am going to give you another chance at life. You are going to be brought back to a week before you become a genin and are placed on team 7. You will have all your abilities, so on and so forth. You get the point. Right?" Blood said
"Ummm sure? But, wait, why are you doing this for me?" Sakura asked
"Because you are the key to the Uchiha's futures." Blood stated
"And why don't I believe you?"Sakura stated more then asked
"You'll see for yourself. Are you ready?" Blood asked.
"Ready for what?" Sakura asked
"To go back to the past… You know you're annoying." Blood said
"Yeah, I get that a lot." Sakura said
"Haha, okay. Well see you soon."Blood said
Suddenly something like a large door appeared. It had skull designs all over it with many ornate designs branching off of them. Sakura just stared at it. She felt like there was an aura pulling her towards the door. Even though the door looked dangerous, she wasn't scared. It just had this welcoming and warm feeling to it.
Sakura walked towards the door as it slowly opened. As she was about to step in, Sakura turned around to face Blood.
"Thank You Blood. This means so much to me. You can't even start to understand how much I appreciate this." Sakura said
"Haha. It's what I do." Blood stated with a smirk
Sakura smiles. She nodded and then stepped backwards into the door. It was no more then 3 seconds that Sakura woke up on her bed. She sat up and put her hand to her hair. Sakura then stood up and looked in the mirror. She looked at herself in awe. It felt so weird looking at herself when she was younger. She had that long pink hair and her red dress on. This is the first time she ever noticed how ugly she looked when she was younger.
Sakura then had this brilliant idea [well she thought it was]. She was going to take her mothers wallet and go out and buy herself clothes and get a new haircut. She looked at the clock and thanked Kami that it was early because her parents weren't going to wake up for another hour.
Sakura then walked down the stairs and grabbed her mothers' bag.
She sifted through it a while until she found her mothers' wallet. Sakura grabbed it and walked out the door, closing it behind her.
-Later after the haircut and shopping-
Sakura looked up at her balcony. She was holding 5 bags at the moment and was debating whether to walk through the front door and get her punishment now or jump up on her balcony and take the hit later.
Sakura looked down at the bags and then up at the balcony again. Well she had to get going so she didn't have the time to listen to her parents yelling at her.
Sakura jumped up onto her balcony and slid the glass doors open. She pushed the blinds out of her ay and put the bags down on her bed. She then placed her mothers' wallet on her dresser and wrote a note to her mother. Sakura turned around and walked towards her bed. She started to rummage through her bags and got out an outfit for the day. Sakura turned her head to look at the clock.
She had at least 5 minutes to get ready and then jolt out of the house to make it to class before lunch ended. She grabbed her clothes and put them on as quick as possible. Sakura then turned and looked in the mirror.
Sakura was now happy with what she saw.
She was wearing knee-high black high heeled boots; dark blue faded skinny jeans which were tucked into the boots; a burgundy tank top which stopped right before her belly button (which she decided to get pierced while she was out); and an unbuttoned blue, red, and black flannel which the sleeves ended at her elbows. Her hair had been cut to just bellow her shoulders. She had side bangs now and they swept towards her right hand side. She also decided to play with the coloring of her hair. The tips of her hair were now black. The same goes for the tips of her bangs.
Sakura turned her head to look at the clock. Her eyes went wide.
"Fuck." She said under her breath
She had taken too long to get ready. Ten minutes had already passed. She grabbed her new bag she had bought, which was navy and went on one shoulder, and stuffed her books in it. Sakura then ran towards the door to balcony and jumped off her balcony. Sakura had an extra dollar with her so she threw it to one of the men at the stands and grabbed a piece of bread.
Sakura bolted down the streets until she finally reached the academy.
Sakura sighed. She knew lunch was over so she was going to be walking into a session.
She rolled her eyes.
Well ain't this gonna be fun.
Sakura walked up the stairs in the building and walked down the hallway until she reached her classroom.
Sakura opened the door to her classroom to be greeted by her old sensei Iruka. Iruka turned his head to look at who interrupted his lesson. He raised an eyebrow.
"Sakura? Why are you so late? Do you know what time it is?"Iruka asked
"M-hm. Gomen nesai Iruka-sensei. I woke up late." Sakura said looking straight into Iruka's eyes.
"Ummm Uhhh sure, whatever. Just take your seat."Iruka said, cringing under her strong gaze.
"No problem." Sakura said.
She turned and closed her eyes feeling like there was no reason to have them open if she knew where her seat was by heart. Sakura walked up the stairs that led to her desk. Sakura opened an eye to see who the chakra in her seat belonged to. When she saw who it was she twitched.
Ino looked up at the pink haired girl standing next to her.
"Well you weren't here forehead so I decided to take your seat. You can sit with 'boy genius' today." Ino smart mouthed.
Sakura just couldn't hold it in. She felt if she didn't slap Ino at that moment, she was going to explode. So Sakura did it. Slapped her upside the head.
"Pig." Sakura spat with disgust
Everyone in the class went wide-eyed. Ino just sat there in shock while Sakura walked to the sleeping pineapple headed genius boy.
Sakura took her seat next to the boy and put her head back and closed her eyes while the by next to her had his head on the desk with his arms crossed under his chin. Sakura picked her feet up and put them on the desk while she also crossed her arms and leaned back.
Iruka just looked at her in awe.
When had she become so defiant? She never made a commotion or hurt anybody. And now… She's sleeping in class? What is this? Something is not right.
Iruka picked up a piece of chalk and threw it straight for Sakura's forehead. Though, before it hit her forehead, Sakura picked up her two fingers and caught it right before it touched her head. In a second, before any normal person or genin could see it, she threw the piece of chalk right back at him. This time hitting him in the absolute center of his forehead.
Sakura opened one eye to observe her surroundings.
"Yes Iruka-sensei?" Sakura asked.
Iruka stood there a few moments before answering.
"Answer those five questions I told everyone to answer." Iruka asked triumphantly
"Ha no problem." Sakura said
Iruka raised an eyebrow. Wasn't she just sleeping? How would she know the questions?
"The first question was: Who are the sanin and how many are there? The answer is: Three and their names are Tsunade, Jiriya, and Orochimaru-b-"Sakura cut off.
Sakura started to cough.
"Umm yea. The, uhhh, second question was: Who was the first Uchiha? The answer is: Madara Uchiha." Sakura said, almost cringing at the end.
"The third question was: What is the keke genkai that is thought to be gone? The answer is: Rinnengan, the main branch that created the sharingan." Sakura stated.
The whole class, including Iruka, went wide-eyed.
Sakura lifted an eyebrow but then suddenly remembered that no one knew about the sharingan thing, and no one was going to know until Akatsuki attacked Konoha.
Sakura sighed.
Just ignore them Sakura and finish the stupid questions.
"The fourth question was: Usually, when you meet a person with bright green or golden eyes, what are they? The answer is: Neko."Sakura answered ignoring everyone's stares
"The fifth and last question was: Name the summons the three sanin have and who they belong to? The answer is: Tsunade-slug, Jiriya-toad, and Orochimaru- snake." Sakura finished
Iruka was staring at Sakura.
"What did you say about the Rinnengan?" Iruka asked with confusion
Sakura sighed.
"Don't worry about it." Sakura said rolling her eyes.
Shikamaru lifted his head and turned to look at Sakura. His eyes went wide.
"S-Sakura? You-You're…… alive?" Shikamaru asked completely surprised
Sakura's eyes widened. Without warning she grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the room leaving a completely confused class behind.
"Wait, you remember?" Sakura whispered.
"Umm, yeah. I remember Sasuke and Naruto. Sai was also their too." He whispered
Sakura sighed.
"Do you know what happened after I blacked out?" Sakura asked
"Umm well, Sasuke put you on the ground and started to yell at your corpse to wake up. Naruto started to tear up and attacked Sasuke. After that I blacked out too, but I don't know why. This guy named Blood said that I didn't die but something about you needing somebody and then he pushed me into this door thing." Shikamaru answered.
"Haha, yeah, I know him. Well at least I'm not alone now." Sakura said.
Sakura motioned to Shikamaru telling him that she was going back into the room and to follow.
Sakura slid the door opened and sighed. Sakura walked to her seat nest to Shikamaru and got comfortable.
Shikamaru entered the room after her and slid the door shut. He walked back to his seat doing the same thing as Sakura.
"What was that all about Sakura?"Iruka asked.
"It was nothing."Sakura stated.
As soon as she said that the bell had rang. Sakura sighed, which she noticed she was doing a lot recently.
Sakura walked down the stairs heading towards the door when she was stopped by a loud hyperactive blonde haired boy. He had just glomped Sakura.
"SAKURA-CHAAAN!" Naruto yelled
Sakura tried to push him off of her.
"Na-ru-to… I-can't-brea-th."Sakura choked out.
"Sorry Sakura-chan." Naruto said pushing himself up, off of Sakura.
Sakura sighed.
"Hn." Sasuke grunted which got Naruto's attention
"Teme!" Naruto yelled
"Dobe" Sasuke stated, not looking at Naruto.
Sakura rolled her eyes.
Oh, fuck. This is going to be hell.
