Hi! Hopefully this story goes well, it is my first story that I plan on completing. I am currently in college at the moment, so updates will be on the weekend. I apologize in advance if the story is bad! I am unsure of the pairing just yet...But I have a few ideas. Let me know of your thoughts, and how I can make it better!


"Please Lord Danzo!" A woman cried out. Her dirty blonde hair was pulled into a loose ponytail, and she was dressed in sleep clothes. Blood dripped down her arm from where she had been struck moments before, her hand pressed to the wound. Her worst fear was coming true, and her husband already laid dead next to her. They had made a mistake when they were younger, to trust the older man standing before them. It was their fault they hadn't kept their end of the deal.

"You can't take her! I won't let-" She was cut off by a sword slicing into her abdomen. The blonde gurgled the rest of her words, blood soon starting to spill from her mouth.

"Let me? It is already done." Danzo spoke softly, his one eye looking down at the cradle that held a newborn. Little tufts of pink fuzz donned her head, and the girl was surprisingly quiet despite the commotion. She stared right back up at Danzo, with eyes that didn't understand yet.

"Take her. Clean this mess up as well, we don't want anyone finding out." Danzo drawled, as if he hadn't just watched his subordinate murder the couple before him. Turning slowly and tapping his cane twice on the ground, the masked man nodded once before stepping into action. 'Sakura, that will be your name. Fitting...yet you will deceive them all'


"Papa!" A tiny 5 year old rushed up to the desk, bounding excitedly as she couldn't wait to tell her papa all about the training she was already receiving.

"Sakura." Danzo scolded, placing the papers he was holding down.

"What have I told you? You must act upon your training at all times, no matter where you are." Sakura's excitement drooped and she nodded her head just slightly, face already melting into the emotionless mask she was told to keep at all times. Sakura didn't completely understand why yet, nor did she know why she wasn't allowed to hang out with the other children. Those she interacted with were all emotionless, and it felt like she didn't belong.

"Good girl, Sakura. Now run along, and keep up your training. You need to be perfect, remember what will happen if you aren't." There was a threat among his words, one Sakura knew all too well. Danzo never hesitated to punish her, even though she was still very young. Young enough that she didn't completely understand everything she was taught. 'Papa…I will make you proud.' The young girl thought as she turned and walked out of the room, heading straight for her training area. She would work until she was perfect, she would make him proud.


"Danzo-sama." A small figure spoke, kneeling before the desk. She had been called upon, knowing it was time for her mission to start. She had been trained for this, and she was ready.

"Sakura. You have already completed the first part of your mission, and have successfully created a new identity for yourself. You are now Sakura Haruno, daughter of merchants. You will receive your new genin team tomorrow morning, and I have made sure you will be placed on team seven. This folder contains files on both your teammates, and your sensei. Keep up your act, and don't let anyone suspect you. The moment someone catches a whiff of who you really are, is the moment you will eliminate yourself to avoid being revealed. We will not meet again for a while Sakura, I will be having a member visit you in secret when you have information that I need. Remember…You can't fail. To fail is to die, and your mission is your priority." Danzo's authoritative voice rang clearly throughout the small room, and Sakura didn't dare look up at him. When she heard the tapping of his cane, she rose and accepted the file he handed to her.

"Go now. There are instructions to where your new home is. Burn the file as soon as you have all of the information memorized. Pay special attention to the details Sakura…Go." With the final word being said, Sakura nodded and disappeared in a flicker.
