Castle of Sand

Blessing yet a curse

Thoughts

(Whispers)

(Sound effect)

This blessing I have been waiting for has become a curse that I never desired…


"Minato-sama, it's a twin" the nurse smiled helding out two baby wrapped in white silk sheets.

Minato who was waiting outside of the hospital room impatiently and worried turn to see two healthy babies cooing.

"One boy and one girl, congratulation" the nurse handed the babies to Minato; he smiled and walk toward his beloving wife who was in the bed, tired and exhausted.

"Naruto is the oldest by two minute, Minato…" Kushina sigh in exhaustion.

Minato smiled "Good work" he kissed his lover's forehead.

"Minato, I heard you had twin, so we came to visit" Tsunade opened the door, revealing two other Sanin.

"Congratulation, Minato" Jiraiya smirked.

"Thank you, Sensei" Minato smirked, "Ohayo, Orochimaru-san, Nagato-san" Minato bowed in respect as they bow him back.

"We came here if we could give the blessing to your daughter" Tsunade said clear and clean.

"That would be great for me and my wife" he grinned.

They nodded

"So, what is her name?" Tsunade asked

"Her name..." Minato thought

"Sakura" Kushina added

Minato smiled in satisfaction

"What a beautiful name" Orochimaru replied

Tsunade put her hand on Sakura's forehead I give you the beauty…Sakura Tsunade thought

I give you the ability to have facility in speaking, that way you can survive the world Jiraiya touch her forehead after Tsunade

I give you the power Orochimaru said putting his pale hand on Sakura's forehead.

I give you the power to feel the true pain and peace Nagato thought also known as Pain put his hand to Sakura's forehead after Orochimaru.

I give you half of my immortality Madara thought putting his hand on her forehead after Nagato.

I give you my technique, my power, my every drop of chakra to you…Sakura Minato thought, putting his hand on Sakura's forehead.

Last but not least Kushina put her hand on her daughter's forehead, I give you intelligent, wisdom and gentleness and intelligent to music will make more attractive to you Sakura…my beloving daughter and happy ever ending to any path you chooses… Kushina thought smiling.

Kushina wanted best for her daughter.

"I also want her nick name to be 'Pandora' meaning the one who is gifted" Kushina said stroking her daughter's hair.

"Yes, it suit her the best" Orochimaru smirked

All nod in agreement

KKYYYAAAAHHH

All flinched in blood curling screaming, "MINATO-SAMA!" the assistant of his came running down the hospital corridor.

"What is it?" Minato said his voice turning cold

"The nine-tail fox…i-it destroying the village and the villagers" the assistant stuttered

Minato's eyes turned cold "I'll be back; you know what to do…Kushina" Minato kissed their daughter good bye and took Naruto.

"Let the sealing begin…everyone" Kushina stood up from the bed but still exhausted from giving birth to the twin as she open the door in the East side of the bed.

They followed her, Tsunade switch on the light switch on revealing black sealing as Kushina put the baby on the middle of the seal.

The seal was interesting design black on the outside red on the inside.

They slit their wrist as their blood drop around the seal word.

"We swear to our unbreakable bond of blood to this baby that this baby may seal its power, beauty; all our blessing to be sealed until the time is right, let this baby be sealed to the fake identity and its personality…we swear that this bond will never let us harm or kill in one way or the other or may we suffer slow and painful death…" they all chanted as the light comes brighter from the baby's form.

The baby's tiny golden hair and sea blue eyes turn into pink hair as her sea blue eyes turn to attractive emerald so green it remind them a sea.

As her diamond which was purple in her forehead like Tsunade as the sealing word comes up to baby's body and gathered around her chest between her tiny breast as it turn to red rose with thorn around.

Kushina picked up the baby, "Forgive me…" she whispered as she gave her last kiss to Sakura's forehead

The babies cooed in respond

"Kushina, run we will hold the nine-tail fox" Tsunade said walking front of Kushina who put on dark cloak which hide her figure and half of her face.

"Thank you…please look after her when I'm gone" Kushina said tear dropping to Sakura's left cheek when she looked down.

Kushina ran through the village market, every one panicking and shouting.

The nine-tail fox was bouncing wildly around the forest, Kushina look up to see two giant animals, and one fox other toad.

Minato…I love you… single tear dropped on Sakura's cheeks once again.

She ran to the Hokage tower and to the room where people evacuated.

"Haruno-san!" Kushina shouted

"Kushina-sama" a women who had brown hair and dark brown eyes walk toward Kushina.

"I leave this baby to your care…please Mai" Kushina pleaded

"I will treat her as my own…Kushina-sama" teardrop came trailing down her heart face as it drops to the floor when it arrives at the narrow line of her chin.

Kushina hugged her daughter for truly last time and gave a kiss in her cheek.

"This way it's for the best…" Kushina whispered

"Please don't hate me for making this decision" Kushina added

"Her name is Sakura Uzumaki…now she is Sakura Haruno" Kushina said

She took off the necklace which was shape of cherry blossom then she took out the customized seal marked kunai Minato uses for his Flying Thunder God Technique and put it on Sakura's sheet.

"Good bye" Kushina ran to help her lover but not before to turn around on her shoulder to see one more last look to her beloving daughter.

Forgive me…Sakura Kushina sobbed as she put her hand on her arm stopping herself from making a noise.


12 years later…

"Sakura, breakfast is ready!" the shouting came from downstairs

"Alright mum!" I responded by shouting back.

I looked at the mirror to check my self. I straightened my skirt with came down to my knee with knee high socks and cute black sleeveless shirt.

I brushed my hair with a comb as I look twirl myself in the mirror.

I walked near the mirror as I pull down my shirt which was hiding my chest revealing rose with thorn around it.

I frowned, I have been asking this thing to my parents yet every time they flinched and change the subject and smile as if I never asked.

I smiled gently as I brush the cherry blossom necklace with my thumb.

I walked over to my drawer as I pull out something sharp; the special kunai I always use as good luck charm, its shape was different like a star but the end was long and was different than a normal kunai and there was seal on it.

I put them in my kunai pouch as I ran downstairs.

It was my first day at Ninja Academy.

I proudly put on my hitate on my neck and smiled.


I walked down the similar road but I stopped in my track when I noticed Ino-pig was their also coming out from her house.

My hand turned into fist as soon as I saw Ino-pig who was smirking proudly.

"Good morning, Sakura" Ino smirked

"Good morning, Ino" I replied

I kept walking until I was about to past Ino when she started to walk with me in same pace.

"I can't believe you graduated" Ino raise her eye brow.

"The past doesn't matter anymore. Starting today we both are ninjas" I said annoyed.

"I'm not going to lose to you anymore, Ino" I spat out her name in disgust.

I said pacing my walking faster until I was front of Ino but Ino started to pace her walk faster.

I glared at her as she glared at me back.


(Thump)

(Thump)

The loud thump could be heard from outside of the class

We opened the door as we try to get into the door in same time.

But we were huffing and puffing in exhaustion.

Ino push past me as my special kunai fell down from my kunai pouch in my waist.

Shikamaru eyes widened when he saw my special kunai, I bend down to reach for it when Shikamaru snatch it first and examined it with widened eyes.

"Y-you where did you get t-this" he stuttered like Hinata

"That was from my father" I said snatching away from his hand.

"Do you even know what this is?" Shikamaru asked still his eyes widened.

"It's just a kunai isn't it?" I asked

Shikamaru said still examining the kunai.


"T-that kunai…isn't that…" Kurenai stuttered

Kakashi who was still watching in crystal ball, his eyes widened when he notice that kunai and that necklace…

He has seen it before…but where?

There was something wrong about that kunoichi. How the hell did she get the fourth Hokage's special kunai?

He took out the kunai as he thought of that memory the first time he got them from his sensei.

"That Kunai belong to Minato Namikaze-sama, the fourth Hokage" Asuma asked, cigarette in his mouth.

"Yes, my dear pupil's special kunai…" Hiruzen's eyes too were widened.

"I heard the last one was present to his daughter…Sakura-Hime" Asuma added.

"And that necklace was Kushina-sama's" Kurenai shouted

Kakashi's eyes widened

Of course, that necklace was present from Minato's present to Kushina-sama; she treasured it with her dear life and was gifted to her beloving twin daughter of Naruto.

"You don't mean she…" Kurenai trailed off

"But if she is Sakura-Hime…didn't they say she had golden blond hair like her father and blue eyes like Naruto?" Asuma added

"Kushina could seal off her identity and replace it with fake personality and its identity, we can make sure of it we could find any seal or tattoo in her body…if she is that Sakura-Hime…then we must protect her with our lives…it say that her nick name was 'Pandora' the meaning the one who is gifted…" Hiruzen said

"Kakashi I want you to make sure that she is that girl, do you understand?" Hiruzen said

Kakashi nodded

"You are dismissed" Hiruzen said still looking closely at the pink hair kunoichi.


"Hi, Sasuke-kun" I blushed

"Hn" Sasuke coldly replied

I frowned in disappointment

What was wrong with me…? Every time he answers 'Hn' I would squeal in happiness but why is my heart don't beat fast…? Why…? I thought

Naruto frowned

"Naruto…could I sit with you?" I asked I wasn't feeling well

Naruto blushed "Of course, Sakura-chan" he loved her as if she was his sister…wish it was.

Sasuke look stunned at my question to Naruto.

What was wrong with her…? She was suppose to say 'may I sit with you, Sasuke-kun?' what was wrong with her?

"Sasuke-kun, may I sit with you?" the voice broke up Sasuke's thought as he tilt his head around to see Ino blushing mad as well as other girls shouted, "IIE! Sasuke-kun sit with me!" the fan-girls shouted and squeal.

"He's sitting with me!" the girl pushed each other from the empty sit next to Sasuke.

But instead of looking annoyed at fan-girls, he was staring at the pink hair girl who was suppose his major-number one fan-girl.

I felt a heated stare as I turned around to face Sasuke.

Sasuke looked at me but in the moment his eyes were widened.

I frowned and turned around in embarrassed

Sasuke blinked, was he imagining or was his mind were playing with him?

The moment he was staring at her, instead of her large forehead, unusual pink hair with emerald eyes. He saw beautiful, glorious and fabulous girl with golden blonde hair, purple diamond on her forehead and sea blue eyes like Naruto, in fact she look very alike Naruto except without those whiskers on his cheeks, just like twins.

She was the beautiful girl he ever seen and for a moment he could have felt his knee weaken if he hadn't been sitting on the bench, he would have collapse.

What is going on…? Sasuke thought still staring at Sakura while other fan-girls glared at Sakura with the most hatred glare.


"Everyone listen up! We've arranged the groups such that overall abilities are equivalent. I will now announce them." Iruka announced

"Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke" Iruka read out.

I felt happy being with Naruto but uncomfortable being with Sasuke.

I didn't know why…what is wrong with me…?
