Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto...sadly

Legend has it that in the center of all nations there is a single Sakura Tree. Some have even believed the tree to be sacred, claiming that a beautiful spirit is the tree itself. From its long trunk of dark wood to the beautiful light shaded pink blossoms, no one denied the claim. Many have believed that the beautiful spirit held the balance of the world, from making it rain from the sky to the flowers blooming in the earth. It is said that every few hundred years the spirit would give half of its life to a newborn baby girl. Believing that only girls can give love to the world, no matter how wrong the world is. But in the end, the spirit always takes its life away…..

It was a beautiful day in Konoha. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, casting its rays of sunlight onto the earth. A gentle breeze swept through the trees, the grass. Everything was at peace. Haruno, Sakura sighed as she drew her legs to her chest. She was currently sitting on a hill, surrounded by wild flowers of all kinds.

Emerald green eyes stared at the small pond before her. They watched in amusement as the sun's rays hit the waters surface causing it to sparkle. The frogs were jumping off lily pads into the water as if they were playing tag. Her lips created a small smile, but as quickly as it came it was gone. Remembering the reason why she ran from her parents' house, and why she was feeling sad.

Flash Back:

Sakura sighed in contentment as she walked towards her parent's house. She opened the small gate closing it behind her as walked up towards the door. Before she got there the dark green door opened revealing her mother.

"Sakura, you're early" the red haired beauty said smiling. Her name was Haruno, Sakumo. She had long strawberry red hair, brown eyes and a womanly figure. Sakumo wasn't a Shinobi like her daughter but a mere civilian. She spread her arms out and engulfed Sakura into a hug. Sakura could only chuckle at her mother's actions.

"I was just here two days ago, you're acting like I've been gone for months" she joked hugging her mother back.

"When you have kids one day, you'll understand" Sakumo said pulling her daughter into the house and quietly closing the door. "Aoi look who decided to come early" Sakumo said while walking into the kitchen with Sakura following behind.

"Daddy" Sakura said popping out from behind her mother. Even though she was the best medical ninja in Konoha, possibly the nations. Thanks to her apprenticeship with the Legendary Sanin Tsunade, and was also a former member of Team Seven with the Copycat Nin, Jinchuriki, and the Last Uchiha, Sakura couldn't help but act childish in front of her parents.

"Saku" her father Haruno, Aoi said standing up from the table. He had brown hair and emerald green eyes. He was well built for a civilian, tall, strong and muscular. Sakura hugged him and sat down at the table. She listened to her parents as they told stories about their day. Like how her mother was now working at the market and how her father was rebuilding their home. Everything was going smoothly as it always was.

"So, why did you both want me to come over today?" Sakura asked out of the blue while sipping some tea. She noticed that both her parents froze but pretended not to acknowledge it. She would wait for them to tell her if something was wrong.

"Well" Sakumo drawled out. She sat down at the table across from Sakura. Sakumo held Aoi's hand as the older woman glanced at her husband. Sakura watched as her father sighed and took off his reading glasses and rub his eyes.

"Sakura, have you heard of the Legendary Sakura Tree?" Aoi asked putting his glasses back on and staring at his daughter seriously.

"A little bit, something about it being a spirit and keeping peace" Sakura said eyeing both her parents. The wheels in her head started spinning, thinking on what her parents were trying to say. She was confused.

"Yes, The Sakura Tree is a spirit and she does keep the peace, but there is another part of the legend" Sakumo said. "It's said that the Sakura spirit gives half of her life to a baby girl. Believing that the baby girl will bring peace to the things she cannot reach on her own. The Sakura Tree is the balance of life, and just like life, all things must come to an end.

When she becomes weak she calls back to her life carrier and takes her life back" she explained. Sakura stared at her mother with a confused expression. The poor girl had no ideal while her parents would tell her something like this.

"Sakura, you were a still born" Aoi said. Sakura's eyes widened. She hadn't known that. "We were devastated and desperate. I wrapped you in a blanket and held you close to my heart. I silently prayed. I didn't even know who I was praying to, but I prayed" he paused wiping his eyes. Sakura sat silently listening. "They were answered. You were born with brown hair like mine. But as I held you, your hair turned pink and then suddenly, you began crying"

"It was a miracle" Sakumo said dabbing her eyes with tissue. "The doctors couldn't believe it and neither could we" she added giving a smile.

"We heard stories from some of the villagers about the legend and began to investigate. One of the signs of the life carriers is hair color. The color of its blossoms" he said. Sakura gasped. She understood now. She was the Sakura Spirits life carrier.

"So…." She trailed off blinking back tears that threatened to fall. "I'm going to d-die soon?" she asked more to herself than anyone.

"Not necessarily" Sakumo said leaning forward to hold her daughters hand. Sakura could feel her mother shaking slightly and squeeze her hand. "When the time comes...You will become the spirit" she continued. Sakura's eyes stared down at the floor, un able to look at her parents.

Either way, whether she died or became a spirit, she knew that she would never see any of her friends or family again. And just like the stories, she too would become something passed down from generation to generation and soon, her name and her life would be forgotten.

End Flash Back:

Sakura yelled out in frustration as she messed up her long hair. She was angry because she should have known it was something like that. Pink hair wasn't natural.

'What a bummer' Inner commented in a bored tone.

'Do you understand what is happening?' she asked. 'I'm not going to live for long! My dreams of the future aren't going to happen' she yelled in a panic.

'You're blowing this out of proportion. That legend is hundreds of years old. Besides the Sakura Spirit will only call for her life back if she gets old and dies' inner stated. Sakura sighed and hung her head low.

'It was if the spirit grows weak, it doesn't have to be weak because of age, it could be damaged' she said. Inner didn't reply and stayed quiet. There was no arguing with logic. Sakura flopped back to the ground. She put her hand over her pounding her and stared at the clouds.

'So, what are you going to do? Who knows when that will happen' Inner asked after the brief moment of silence.

'For now I need to distance myself from everyone. I need to do research on this and figure out how long I have. I'll go from there' she concluded. Inner nodded in agreement. Sakura closed her eyes.

"It's going to be a long day tomorrow" she mumbled to herself.

How was it? Good? Bad?
