There was a little girl, standing in the rain, with an older figure. They stood in front of a burning village. The girl turned to the teenager and asked him "Why did you kill them?" The male ninja tore his gaze away from the burning village, that was now slowly being put out by the rain, and set his gaze on his younger sister and smiled fondly. "They tried to take you away from me," he said. The little girl's eyes widened. Her shocked face quickly turned to anger. "They can't take me away from Onii-san!" He smiled. They looked back at the small village, it wasn't a big village like the hidden ones, it used to harbor less than a 100 civilians. Until he killed them all.
"Okay Sakura, let's head to somewhere safe," the girl looked at the male curiously. Before she could reply, the male sensed ninjas heading their way at a fast pace. He scowled and grumbled out "ANBU, what a pain," he quickly picked up Sakura and fled toward the dense trees. Sakura looked over his broad shoulder and saw ninjas with painted animal masks with black attire quickly running on the tree branches toward them.
The chase went on for some time. The male running, sighed. "Sakura," she looked up at him while in his strong arms. "Promise me that you'll grow stronger and find me," he said in a strong tone, but gently. She was confused, aren't I staying with Onii-san? Her looks told him what she was thinking. The male sighed and said "Just promise me this," she was about to protest but then the ANBU caught up.
"Sasori No Akasuna," one of the ninja began. "You are charged with treason for taking Haruno-sama, killing the entire clan, and setting the village on fire."
Sasori just looked at the male with half-lidded eyes, as if he didn't hear a word the ninja was saying.
"Well? That's too bad. I don't plan on giving her back," he said, angry.
The ANBU just snorted. "What can a teenager do to stop us?"
"This," he said. Sasori expertly carried Sakura with one hand and a fine katana in the other hand. He swiftly jumped branch to branch and fought with the ANBU. Blood spattered on the trees. Sasori had sliced the man in half. The ninja let out a terrible, ear-splitting scream and fell off the branch of the tree.
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" Shouted the enraged comrade of the fallen ninja. Sasori easily cut the ANBU down and quickly finished off the rest.
"Onii-san?" said the innocent girl. She seen her brother fight before, but he was so angry at the moment. The male just calmed down and gave a reassuring glance to tell her that he was alright. They continued to travel to the place they have yet to discover. This can't keep going on, I sense more coming, he thought to himself. "Sakura before we were interrupted, do you still promise?" Sakura shook her head furiously, making the wet pink locks fly everywhere. "No! I want to stay with Onii-san!" Sasori sighed. He was sighing too much today.
"I promise I'll come back, but it'll take a long time. Do you think you can wait? Or do you want to find me?" he asked. Sakura thought about it, scrunching her face a little, making her look adorable. "I'll be a strong ninja when I grow up! And I'll go and find Onii-san. Just don't be too far away, okay?" he chuckled and messed up her already messy pink hair. "Okay, hime," he said. With that said he gently knocked her out, and hid his chakra. That'll give me more time to go to Konoha, he thought.
He finally arrived at the gates of Konoha, the hidden leaf village. Still undiscovered by the ninja in the village. Sasori glanced down at her cherubic features resting. He struggled to set her in front of the gates for some ninja to find her. He didn't want to let her go. With another sigh, he kissed her forehead and said "Hime, you better find me, or I'll die of missing you." Not that he would admit that to her face. He set her down gently and took one last glance at her peaceful looks. He ran a hand through his dark red hair and ran off into the thick forest of the night.
Naruto Uzumaki was taking a night stroll through the village, the only time he wouldn't be yelled at or glared at. Nearing the village gates, he spotted a lump in the distance. He squinted really hard, still couldn't see and gave up. He sprinted toward the lump that became a figure laying on the floor. "Woaaaah," he said amazed, as if he never seen a girl before, but this girl was different. She had exotic features, light pink hair, round shaped face, smooth-looking skin, long pink lashes, and a delicate small body. He picked her up as if she was a precious ramen package, well she was light too.
Naruto ran to the Hokage tower. He burst into the top room without knocking and startled the third Hokage. Hiruzen Sarutobi, the old but powerful Hokage, almost fell off his chair. He rubbed his head and sighed, he wasn't expecting someone this late at night. For he was doing the mountain load of paperwork. "Naruto, what is it?" he said, and noticed a strange girl he never seen before in the village in his arms. "Who is that girl?" Naruto put her in one of the chairs and rubbed his head sheepishly, "I was talking a night stroll and I found this girl laying on the floor at the gate!" The Sandaime stroked his beard wisely. He was thinking of what to do with this girl, she could be a spy from the other hidden leaf villages, but then again she could be innocent. "Naruto, bring her to your apartment, and then tomorrow bring her to me when she wakes up." Naruto excitedly gathered her up in his arms, once again, and said loudly "Will do gramps!" With that said Naruto sped out of the room and into the cold night.
A.N: Well? How did I do for a first story? This has been in my mind for a while, and I finally had the guts to post it. There might be spelling mistakes. Should I continue? Let me know!
