me-hi? new idea that came to my mind
disclaimer- don't own Naruto or anyone in there. possible owns Hiron? seriously not sure if that's a real name anyways.
Haruno Sakura. That was a feared, and known name, one where it tricked her opponent more than her appearance. I mean who would think someone named after the spring blossom could be that deadly?
Said blossom smirked as she placed a hand over her wound. It wouldn't stop bleeding, even though she did everything to try to stop it. Blood-clotting pill, stitching it together, even using chakra, the blood ran freely. She gave up, she knew more than anyone that she would die on this mission.
She sat down and looked around. At least she could take in the scenery. Tsunade-sama was always telling her she worked too much, and that she should take some time off. Well, this was her time to rest, maybe in her next life she would be rewarded.
Sakura felt loose as the last of her blood dropped out. Her head became light and darkness crowded her eyes. She let out a small sigh and her last breath left her and she closed her eyes, a smile on her face.
The pinkette opened her eyes and took in a breath. Where was she, she was supposed to be dead. White went on forever, a never ending space. She looked around and stomped her foot on, thin air? Did this place defy the laws of physics or something equally weird like that?
She started walking in a direction she felt someone pull her in. She felt like it was days later when she came up on a set over doors. The dark cherry color was elegantly carved with interlocking circles. They made chains up and down the door length.
The doors opened to reveal a room filled with different colors, and different seats. Sakura poked her head in and gasped. A small figurine of her self was standing directly opposite of the opening. A crash came from her left, scaring her.
"Hello?" A voice called out. "I know someone is here. Come in." She did as told and the doors swung closed. "Yes, I know who you are. I was instructed to give you something."
She glanced around and found the source of the voice. A tall man stood in a long kimono. The traditional dress was a bright gold with silver and black embroidery. The rich patterns were far more elaborate than any other ones Sakura has seen. They seemed to mold and twirl together and then spread apart, then come back together again. The man smiled and nodded his head.
"H-hello? I'm Haruno Sakura." She said. The man waved the introdrutcion off with his hand.
"Yes, yes. I know child." He blinked. "You don't know who I am do you?" She shook her head. "Well, sit down then, this will take awhile."
Hiron, Sakura learned, was the god of time, space, and travel. He controlled all of the spirits that deserved another chance. Hence, why she was here at this time.
"Why am I getting another chance? I had a good life before I... died." She said.
He rose an eyebrow. "Well, quite frankly, you sucked. Why, in the High World, would you let your emotions take control of you that easily, I have no idea!" She looked down in shame. "You should look down in shame! I have seen many other ninja that took that precious time in the academy to make themselves better. Because their foundation was better, they became a better ninja!"
"I'm sorry." Sakura said like a scolded child.
He snorted. "You, ninja," He tapped his pointer finger to emphasize each word. "Are only as good as the starting blocks! If you have a terrible start, you'll never become a better ninja."
"But," She paused. "Uchiha Itachi, he had a great start and-"
Hiron cut her off. "No, Itachi was a pawn in your damned village's quest for more power! Have you seen all of the monsters they created, just because they were too lazy to fix it themselves? That's right, your village is not as clean as they want you to think. It's just as tainted as Orochimaru was, even more so than him really." He turned and waved a hand. A screen came up and it turned on. "This is Konoha's first mistake." The screen went to a battle between two ninja.
Sakura recognized the First Hokage and Madara. She watched as the battle played out. The god of time sighed and the screen went blank.
"See? The First should of had back up coming so he could kill Madara then and there. But he didn't and this is what happened." He waved his hand again and random sense played. From that point on to the future, after Sakura died.
"I didn't realize Konoha made so many mistakes." She said quietly. Hiron glared at the ceiling, crossing his arms. He stayed like that for awhile, just staring off into space.
"Good, I'm glad you can see that. Have fun, and good luck." He said. He clapped his hands and Sakura gasped, then blacked out.

Sakura opened her eyes and looked at the gloomy landscape. Blood, kunais, shurikins, and other weapons were scattered about. She looked down and admired her new outfit.
Her black shorts and skirt were replaced with black pants with red armor on the sides. Her shirt was swapped with a red long-sleeve and armor plated shirt. Her armor had white circles on the major pieces. She had a sword strapped to her side. The hilt was crimson red, with pink cherry blossoms, and white circles going up it.
Clangs of metal came closer. She looked up and put a hand on the hilt of her sword. She watched as a pair of ninja fell out of the bushes. Both had scratches and gashes covering their bodies. They kept fighting, not noticing her. She moved away, walking the other way, hand never leaving the sword.
She got to the endge of the forest when a hand reached out to touch her shoulder. She punched the person in the stomach and stood ready. Her would-be attacker coughed up a little blood and held a short knife.
"Sorry." She said quietly. They looked up at her oddly.
"Why are you saying sorry girl?" They took her in. "You, you're not even fourteen by the looks of it."
Sakura looked at her hands and saw they were not scared. She knew she had scares there before from her training. Was she really younger than fourteen? No, she was twenty-three when she... died. It was Hiron!
"I'm alive?" She said outloud.
The man looked oddly at her again. "Yes, but you won't be for long if you keep on the field. Come with me." He stood and started jogging to the west. She ran after him.
They stopped at a camp. Children ran up and huddled around her, oggling the new person. The man shooed all of the kids away and a woman came over. They hugged and he gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
"This is my wife." He said. She nodded and greeted Sakura.
"Hello, I'm Haruno Sakura." They shook hands and looked each other over.
me-and a new story popped into my head. I had it for a while so yeah. like it or not, that's what it is. not sure if I'm going to continue it.
