The curse of ages:

Sakura's clan has a secret. They have a book that contains a curse. 'Be warned, he who shall open this book will be cursed.' Despite the warning Sakura opened the book, triggering the curse.

Sakura POV: Chapter 1

A book. That's all it took to wreck havoc on my life and the lives of all those I encountered.

A cursed book. Funny how the more information we get things become clearer yet hazier at the same time.

A cursed book belonging to my clan. Does that answer some of your questions?

I disregarded my sensei and teammates warnings and opened it even though it warned of the curse.

Let me take you back to the beginning.

-flashback-

'Should I open it?' I thought as I looked at the book in my lap.

I was currently sitting on the edge of team sevens training field, trying to decide if I should open the book or not.

Sensei and Naruto were sparing for the last time before Naruto went away on his training trip.

"I'm going to open it," I whispered to myself.

Sensei heard and froze, turning to me, but before he could say anything Naruto kicked him in the face with a shadow clone.

I unlocked the book and slowly opened the cover.

The first page started to glow.

The last thing I heard before blacking out was my teammates yelling my name, "SAKURA!"

-linebreak-

*shake*

Who is shaking me?

*shake shake* "in… ke…p."

Whose voice is that?

*shake* "Rin…. Wake up."

The voice was clearer.

My eyes opened slowly.

In front of me kneeled a boy wearing orange goggles.

His outfit was themed in blue and orange, ('A mix between Sasuke and Naruto?') and he had black eyes and hair.

"Are you ok? Kakashi-baka hit you too hard into a tree!" he exclaimed, pointing a glare at the now magically-younger Kakashi.

I turned my attention back to the boy.

"Who are you? Where… where am I?" I asked.

"Rin?" I blonde haired man asked.

'Naruto? No. too old. His face is pointier too. Naruto's is rounded more. No whisker marks either.'

"Who are you? Who is Rin?" I asked.

I looked to the mini Kakashi-sensei.

"Why are you so young?!" I pointed at him.

His eyes narrowed.

"Rin, do you really now remember us?" Naru- the blonde asked.

"NO! I don't' know any of you, save Kakashi-sensei, and my name is not Rin! My name is Sakura!" I exclaimed.

The blonde moved Obito back and took his spot in front of me.

"My name is Minato Namikaze." He told me, "This is Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake."

"M-Minato Namikaze?! Uchiha?" I stuttered out. 'Do they think I'm stupid?'

"That's not possible! I must be in a genjutsu." I told him crossing my arms.

"And why do you think that?"

"Minato Namikaze, the fourth hokage, died saving the village from the Kyuubi attack. AND, the Uchiha were all wiped out by Sasuke's older brother, Itachi!" I exclaimed.

All of their eyes widened.

"R-Sakura, Can you tell me where you come from?" Minato asked cautiously.

"Konoha. I'm a genin of Konoha." I replied. 'Duh. I mean I do have a headband.'

He nodded.

"Can you please describe yourself?"

I cocked my head to the side and a wisp of brown hair fell in front of my face.

'Brown? That… That's not right!'

My eyes widened.

"I-I have pink hair and green eyes." I was shaking.

"What year is it now?"

My eyes snapped up to meet his.

I told him the year.

He shook his head.

"That's about 28 years in the future." He told me.

"F-future?"

He nodded.

'How did this happen? What could have caused this?'

My shoulders drooped.

"The book." I whispered to myself.

Minato gave me a funny look as my eyes widened.

"I found a book… hidden in the attic of my house. There… there was a warning on it saying that whoever would open the book would be cursed. Sensei and Naruto told me not to take the chance but…. My curiosity got the best of me. It must have sent me to the past… This means…. This 'Rin' girl must be in my body!" I exclaimed.

I stood up, walked to the middle of the training field, and looked around.

I let out a sigh and looked to my feet. 'No doubt about it. This is the training field.'

"This is going to be a great story if I ever get home." I muttered.

"We'll have to tell Hokage-sama about this." Minato informed me.

I nodded.

"About 28 years in the past? That's in the middle of the third shinobi war isn't it?" I asked. 'That's not to good.'

He nodded.

"Um… Kakashi-baka and I are still here you know." Obito told us.

I let out a giggle and he blushed. 'He's a bit like Naruto.'

"Sorry. I'm sorry for causing all this trouble. It's my fault…. So I'll find a way to fix it!" I told him.

He smiled and gave me a thumb up, "I know you will."

And so we left for the hokage's office.

I hope this 'Rin' doesn't freak out too much.

-linebreak-

After having a Yamanaka search my memories, they confirmed that I was not a spy.

"Well, young Sakura, you will have to take the place of Rin until we can get you back to your own time." Hokage-sama told me.

I nodded.

"I was planning to unless you thought I was a spy." I informed him.

"I suppose we need to do introductions again then." Minato added.

I nodded, "Alright."

"My name is- was Sakura Haruno; from now on I'll be Rin Nohara.

I like cherry blossoms, Syrup-coated anko dumplings, umeboshi, and anmitsu.

I dislike spicy food, being left behind, and being made fun of.

My hobbies are playing trivia games and memorizing new material for my medical studies.

My dream for the future? I'm not sure right now."

They nodded and introduced themselves as well.

"For now, Sakura will move in with Minato." Sarutobi-sama told us.

I nodded.

"It's not like I haven't shared a room with my teammates before." I shrugged.

"Dismissed."

Minato led me to his apartment after we retrieved some of Ri- my clothes.

And that was the end of my first day in the past.
