For starters this is a fantasy fic and I know Tsunade's favorite drink is 'sake' but since the English word For Heaven's 'Sake' is so close, I am spelling 'sake' like 'saki.'
This takes place after the war.
I am playing with 1st person view and jumping around with it some.
Also a few run-on sentences I can't seem to get away from.
Also there will be dimensional jumps and leaps and hopefully tons of crazy things that have built up in my head overtime, enjoy!

A light sweat broke out over my body some time ago. Casually leaping through the trees with my light footing and control, my heart pounds a little harder from the rugged terrain. I could slow down, there's no rush. Wanting to push myself, I pick up the pace, stretching out my muscles and body. Pink hair flying behind me, a crisp morning wind hitting my face, light sweat on my back making my shirt cling to me slightly. It felt wonderful to make my body move. I do a flip in midair and feel my abs stretch and clinch. It was like waking up and stretching after a long and restful sleep, wide awake. Judging by the sun, it would be around 8 or 9am. Twenty-five more miles until Konoha.
I stop suddenly to look at a clearing. In the far distance I can see the top of the village. Beautiful, large trees surround it, and lazy puffy clouds slowly edge on by. It was peaceful. I could imagine the hustle and bustle at the market at this time of day. Breathing in deeply, I take off again. My body loves the light workout compared to the extensive training I received last week.
Negotiations made and the treaty is now updated with the Land of Steel. Old Samurais of ancient customs. Tsunade Shishou will be happy to know she will just have to sign the scroll in my bag and be done with it. Thinking about the scroll in my medical bag, in its own separate bag, I subconsciously notice it was still on my person. Piece of cake. We still can trade with merchants and blacksmiths and farmers. More rice will come in with the growing population. The Land of Steel is still a neutral party, no surprise there, they want to stay unaffected by war and is no enemy or ally to anyone. Updates are given to them of who the new Kages are of the villages, mainstream news about any war or large disagreements between countries, any new Daimyos or heirs, and any new mainstream happenings. All is well. Updating the treaty every 10 years or so is a good plan and easy pay.
An odd feeling appears in the pit of my stomach. Strange, thinking it may be the Anbu patrolling a little more farther than usual, I stop. No need for alarm, they probably felt my oncoming charka signature.
Leaning against the tree, I think about the onigiri in my backpack. Deciding they would be a few minutes, I eat two. Sweet pickled plum and the other one is made with salmon. I gulp down the rest of my water, being that I was so close to home now. Wiping my face from the trickle of water, I feel them almost on me now.
Green eyes widen, those were not Anbu.
Massive charka unveiled and no longer hidden. I run full speed towards the village, directing myself to the right side, away from them. I will just go up and over the wall and not through the front gates.
The mission must be completed. Fault on the Land of Steel may happen if I die or the scroll disappears. War may break out. Where is the treaty if not in the village? So many possibilities. I have to get back now.
They must know I am running now but I no longer sense them. To my knowledge, Anbu go up to 20 miles outside the village walls on patrol but are usually in the range of 15 miles. Very few patrol in size but efficient. Normal patrols that are only one to five miles outside our wall that consist of mainly Jounin and Chuunin in much larger groups. I must be around 25 miles or less away from the village wall. I may or may not run into Anbu. I swing off the branches with my hands to gain momentum to go faster on the ground.
I cannot sense them, where are they? I get closer to the 20 mile marker post. So close, I am probably a mile away from the marker.
Then I hear someone loudly say, "Oi, dumbass, why'd you let your charka leak with killing intent?" A dull thud was heard, but now I knew they were close. My options were very low. The treaty must be delivered. I cannot outrun them but I cannot risk them stealing the scroll, if that is their intent. I doubt I could defeat both of them with their charka levels. One was higher than Naruto's! I am strong but one Naruto charged one and the other attacking too? I quickly spot a tree with a hallowed out bottom. I run to it and get an onslaught of nostalgia from remembering the Chuunin Exams. Inside I wait. I knew they would take the scroll if they knew of my mission. Maybe not. Who knows. I summon a small slug. "Give this to Lady Tsunade and tell her I am close by." Relief floods me when my summon poofs away. No war battles are to become of this mission with the safety of the scroll ensured.
They are close. Relief is quickly replaced with instinct.
I tighten myself around the inside of the tree, crouched down. It happened so quickly, I had two seconds to react. A large scaly sword swung down through the tree, bark flying everywhere. I jump away with just a small laceration on my arm. I came to face with a blueish grey skinned man.
"Kisame Hoshigaki"
Looking around I see Deidara.
"Oi, don't you forget about me!"
I stare down Kisame intently. "Hey Pinky, tell us where the scroll is!"
It was as I thought, it was about my mission. "Why do you want the scroll?"
Grinning ear to ear, I see Kisame swing his sword again, dodging the blows quickly but barely was difficult. The scales seemed to come alive with every swing, almost reaching outwards towards me. The immense strength and sheer power was evident with the large heavy sword, used so swiftly and changing stances fluidly.
Isn't the main objective of Akatsuki trying to take over but killing and hurting as many as possible in the process to rebuild? The stealing of a scroll containing a peace treaty would make sense then, I gathered.
"Fuck you Pinky, I will fucking gut you!"
Deidara seemed perplexed, "Are you the one who killed Sasori-san hmm?"
Throwing C-4 bombs as Kisame attacked, I was caught in a trap. So I did the only sensible thing I could. I punched the ground with charka infused fists, in such a way that three thick large slabs of earth came between me and fish face. Only a quarter of the blast came through my walls and Kisame caught in the middle of it, rendering his attack, useless.
The part of the blast that did go through, made my toned but light body fly through multiple trees, bark cutting my skin, splinters throughout my entire body, before hitting a final tree. Smacking my body against it, my head bounced back with such a strong force. I felt warm wetness run down my neck. I slumped down to the bottom of the tree and sat but half laid on the tree.
"Bumbling idiot, why the fuck did you hit me point blank with those?"
I couldn't see just yet, my eyes were blurry and it was hard to see. I sent healing charka to my eyes and bones, healing the major injuries.
Deidara shouted back, "You were in my way, that girl is mine!"
Thank the heavens I sent the scroll out. Tsunade-Shishou should be sending reinforcements soon. The two members of the Akatsuki seemed to go at it but it didn't last long.
Clearly Kisame was better of the two.
"Alright Pinky, times up. Relaxing is over, I will kill you on spot and piss on you after savaging your body for the scroll if you don't hand it over now."
I glare at him as he walks closer as he talks.
"Fuck you." I say with all the hate and anger I have inside of me.
He kicks me hard in the face, right into my eye socket. I hear the breaking of my upper cheek bone but I can't feel a thing from the anger I have for him.
"What was that Pinky?"
My head is spinning but I hoarsely say, "I said-" I get kicked again but this time in the stomach. His kicks are swift and powerful. Louder I say, "I said FUCK YOU." He kicks me full strength and my ribs crack as I fly into the tree again.
I am pissed. He is messing with MY village, MY people, toying with lives, just being a straight up dick.
I feel a trickle of adrenaline and think it's this power of an idea that causes it. That I bow to no one harming my village. But the feeling gets stronger. So strong, it hurts. I feel strong, fast and unbreakable.
I get up and run towards him with my fists raised. I am so pissed. I punch and dodge quicker than I ever have before. My hair is flying with every kick, punch, throw, and counter. It's like a dance. I feel my shoulder blades on fire. Like something powerful is about to break loose. My spine feels hot. I scream in pain, angst and rage. I leap up into a tall tree branch and then from there jump up even higher into the sky. FUCK YOU I scream inside my head as a powerful burst of charka comes out my back. I am now falling full speed towards my target and arch my back backwards as I am about to deliver a blow. I bring both fists down, together in tight fists.
Kisame shields himself with his sword, while meeting me half way with a powerful jump towards my falling body. I forgot how his sword eats charka in the heat of the moment. I feel my body grow weak as both my fists hit the sword at the same time as I fall through the air.
It's like that incredible power never happened. It zapped me almost of everything. I never had that much charka before in my life. I feel numb and emotion stricken. I just continue to fall to the ground with a large clatter. Kisame jumped away to let me fall. Blood pouring out of me God knows where, multiple broken bones, concussion, and many tiny splinters from earlier, I can feel it all now. Kisame smiles, panting slightly, "Impressive, what clan do you come from?"
I can't even breathe right, blood is pouring into my mouth, lungs and everything else feels wrong and off. And Clan? I am from a civilian merchant clan. Why is that important? I cough up blood but I can't turn my head so it just goes over my mouth and down my neck and cheeks. It hurts so bad to cough. I can't even release my healing charka. I could release my seal but I want him to be closer. Kisame steps towards the small crater I made with the impact of my body. He stomps down onto me. I can't even think. He just repeatedly lifts his foot and slams it down. Deidara is in the background uninterested it seems but his eyes gleamed with a sort of darkness seeking revenge.
"Kisame, we have company."
Kisame looks up from me as if seeing something.
"Ah yes, the scroll is not on her. Let's go."
Deidara mumbles something about why even bother fighting then and killing me off. But Kisame doesn't reply. He just kicks me really hard again and leaves.
All I remember next is being surrounded by Anbu masks of five before passing out from the pain.
.
.
Beeping filled my ears. What happened? I wondered. I felt so awful and in so much pain. I cried out. And it all came back to me. Opening my eyes I realized I was in a hospital room with a wide eyed nurse. I looked down and saw restraints, keeping my charka from going above normal. What is this?
Tsunade comes in running, "Sakura don't you dare scare me like that again! I thought you were dead when I saw you with the Anbu! Be glad I am a skilled medic!"
I smile weakly since it still hurts.
"You know as much as I do that so much healing can be done on a human body at one time. If you don't heal some naturally, and your body won't do it on its own anymore and cells can only be divided so many times before taking years off your life if you force it!"
I try to answer but nothing comes out. Tsunade grabs a cup of water with a blue straw and I sip and cough.
"Sakura, I know you have questions but I do too. It was reported that a strange charka was surrounding you in the shape of bird wings. They said the charka was immensely stronger than what your usual is. I can't have a new jutsu or gift or whatever happened interfere with the healing process right now. You did well today, and I will not lose you to whatever that was. We will figure it out Sakura, Rest up, you deserve it."
Tsunade was curt with me but I knew it was a long medical healing process she did on me. She probably needs to tend to other patients for the day too.
I just lay there. There is nothing else I can do.
.
.
.
I was in my study room when I heard the door creak open.
"Not now Karin, I'm busy."
I recognized her light footsteps but she usually speaks about now. I turned towards her and eye a file in her hand, and her shirt buttoned lower than usual. Waiting for her to speak she stares at me intently without moving or speaking. It was odd. Wondering if it was a henge I thought about asking something that would evoke a Karin like quality. She puts the paper down and puts her hand on her hip almost to feign confidence. This was Karin.
"Sasuke-kun, the war is over and your brother and the traitors of Konoha are dead."
Karin blushes slightly but remains in her stance, although shaky.
"You said your goal is to expand the Uchiha Clan. I was wondering if you had plans to take up In vitro fertilization with a woman or" Karin cringed slightly, "Or women. Or did you want to travel to combine a strong clan with lesser abilities to have the Uchiha traits take over or another idea?"
"I do not wish to combine with another clan. I want my own. Not merge with a group, I want my own ideals and be the head of my family."
Karin looked at him with an idea she seemed to be playing with.
"Will you travel soon for this adventure?"
"Hn."
"I could help you with this. My clan only has me and Naruto and it is just sealing strength and charka reserves larger than usual. You won't have to integrate with a group of people. You would be the Head."
The desperate plea in her voice was evident.
Sasuke did not respond.
"It would not take over any Uchiha qualities and have combined strength, an unstoppable Uchiha."
Sasuke was not surprised and Karin has calmed down plenty from the war. Showing the immense power she had to break through that huge statue at war with no hand signs, just pure emotion to save him. She had unleashed an impressive power.
They stayed in silence for a few moments, examining each other.
Karin sighed, "I will go."
Sasuke grabbed her wrist as she turned around to leave. Karin's skin heated up and she threw herself at him and held on tightly.
"I will be the most capable woman as I can be to assist you, Sasuke."
Karin's eyes met his and saw the depths of his eyes, always calculating.
Karin took her shirt off and began making out with him. At first he was stiff and unsure of how to handle this correctly. All the years of pent of emotions and sexualized visions let loose.
Sasuke pushed her up against the wall, with her legs wrapped around him.
"I know Karin."
Little moans escaped her and Karin was not sure how, but her pants were just gone. Her black thong, bra and heeled boots were still on.
"Sasuke!"
He wasn't sure why, but he just acted. It seemed like a risk to do this with other clans, but Karin? Sealing and immense charka and stamina would be a good trait.
Sasuke slipped his hand under her bra and squeezed. Karin's thighs were a little wet now. The front of his shirt had gotten moist from her, and it had to go. The now shirtless Sasuke kissed her and with every touch her body responded with a moan or movement. Karin unclasped her bra and Sasuke put one nipple into his mouth. Karin had melted at his touch.
"Put it in me, Sasuke."
Sasuke continued his assault of licks and light bites all over her nipple, moving up to her neck slowly and back down.
Slipping a finger inside her, his entire hand got wet from just a small thrust.
Moaning louder than ever, Sasuke was suddenly inside her. Filling her up and stretching her out. It hurt. But what do you expect from a virgin, then again he was one also. Sasuke kept going despite when she cried out in pain. It soon begun to feel good. Really good. "Oh fuck, Sasuke, I think I am going to-hmm!" Sasuke kept going and feeling her sloppy juices slap over his member, He went harder. Karin was grasping his shoulder as he was pounding her, he moved to dominate her on the floor. With one more thrust he felt her entire area tighten around his member and she let out a small scream. She was convulsing around him and he let out his own load, making sure to coat her insides.
"Sasuke." Karin say breathlessly. "Thank you. Thank you for trusting me."
Sasuke got up and went to the attached bathroom and grabbed a towel. Karin sat up but did not follow. She wasn't sure if this is what it is or there is more than just sex. Sasuke came back to her, "Here, wash up first and I will after you."
Blushing deeper now, "H-Hai."
As soon as Karin was in the washroom, he eyed the file.
There was a huge stack papers about in vitro fertilization and the risks involved and some other things he didn't care about. There was one smaller folder than was behind this one. Sasuke opened it and stiffen. He had asked Karin to keep him update on his old teammates and village, but this was odd. Deidara was still alive and attacked Sakura. Even more surprising, she had an odd charka source coming from her. Those were the only details confirmed. Why was she attacked? It did say Anbu carried her off the scene alive but injured. Ten minutes later Karin came out, "Sasuke the water is still running for you."
"Sasuke?"
The study room was empty.
.
.
.
I woke up groggy. Everything was blurry and I felt exhausted. Charka exhaustion is no joke. I still had no clue on where that charka came from. Maybe my Will of Fire? No, Tsunade said bird wings. It reminded me of Chouji's signature move of butterfly wings. I was obviously not from his clan.
There was a light knocking on her door.
"Haruno-san, your mother is here to see you."
My throat being still dry she let out a light, "Hai."
Mebuki stood there at the door quietly as she waited for the door to close to ensure privacy.
My mother was never quiet, and would've nagged by now about my appearance and gossiped on the S-rank criminals I ran into.
Mebuki walked towards me and sat on my bed. Mebuki's hand clasped mine and stared at me with concern.
This was really unlike my mother.
My mother still had her styled blonde hair and hints of makeup and creams as usual. Appearance always came first, especially on business days.
"Your father is tending to the shop right now and he will be by later if it slows down."
I nodded.
"Sakura I want to know what happened. Can you tell me?"
"Kaa-san." I began. This was so unlike her that I felt the need for formalities. My mother never asks, she demands.
"Kaa-san." I began again, "I can tell you mostly everything but you cannot gossip at all. What happened can't be mentioned to anyone else."
My mother didn't protest. Strange, was she really that concerned?
It reminded me about her behavior after the war, but even then Mebuki was loud and running to me then and wiping the dirt and blood off my face. Although her eyes were the same as they were back then.
I told her my side of the story and even told her about the report on bird wings. It was odd being so open with her. My mother usually interrupted or nagged at me for recklessness.
My mother was so still, as if in thought.
"Kaa-san?"
"Sakura, thank you. Do you know who else knows?"
"Hokage-sama and a select few Anbu. Why?"
"It's a very dangerous thing to seem to have a bloodline limit. You would be in scrutiny and attacked. You are in high standing with the Hokage but there would be distrust with the village. People would think it was a secret kept from them on purpose."
"You and father are not ninja. We don't have ninja history so how would that be possible. It would almost have to be a fluke."
Mebuki seemed to be holding back. Wanting to speak but keeping quiet.
"Kaa-san?"
"Sakura, listen to me. I am not a ninja. When you know for sure you are not being watched, please visit me here."
My mom slipped a piece of paper into my night bag she had brought me.
"Don't open it here, and don't practice that technique, even if asked. Fail it."
"I don't understand."
By this point we would've argued and caused a commotion but I was in recovery and my mother was acting really strange. Nothing made sense.
"Please Sakura, open it when you're alone and burn it. I will tell you everything when you come."
My mother did something she had not done since the war was over. She hugged me tightly.
"I will see you soon."
With that statement, my mother left.
Waiting for a few moments, I opened my bag.
Toothbrush, hairbrush, toothpaste, underwear, bra, bindings, ninja clothes and civilian, ointments, shower things. Moving on from going through my tightly packed bag, I spot an odd garment. It was all white and- It was a shrine maiden uniform? My jaw goes lax and continues to stare.
"What is going on?" I whisper.
"You tell me."
My jerks to look at her door. Tsunade was standing in the doorway.
Quickly shutting my bag and giving her my full attention, "Tsunade-sama."
"Sakura what is in the bag?"
Thinking quickly I looked down and added charka to my blood flow in my cheeks. A natural blush look, "Kaa-san give me a new set of clothes. It's quite ugly for her fashion sense."
Tsunade nodded, "Anyway I did not come here to talk about fashion, your blood work came back and everything is normal. Your story checks out except the part about wings. I wanted to try to recreate it in a week's time. After your natural stores of charka is normal and everything is healed up."
I knew charka restores itself naturally in a day's time but when it is suddenly drained to a large extent with my low charka stores, it's harmful to use it again quickly. They may be still damaged with my small pools of charka.
I nodded.
"Are you alright Sakura?"
"Everything is happening so fast. I am sure I will be back to myself soon. Wait, My blood work? Did you make them hurry? It takes at least three days for a normal routine."
Tsunade eyed me, "Sakura, because of your situation I have sent a hurry the hell up request but do to extensive checking for abnormalities, they had to take extra precaution. It has been three days."
"WHAT!"
"Shh! It's a hospital for the love of saki."
Looking sheepish, "Sorry Hokage-sama."
"You've been sleeping a lot but given the circumstances, it's no surprise. Kisame not only took your charka but dried your reserves and some life force charka."
Tsunade's honey brown eyes bored into me, "Take your time and heal, your mission is a success and I sent Naruto and Kakashi out to give the signed scroll copy to the Land of Steel."
"Does Naruto know?"
"I had to practically seal him out of the hospital so you could rest. That idiot had to be knocked off the wall with lightening seals when he tried to walk up it."
I grinned, "Thank you Tsunade Shishou."
Tsunade grinned in return and ruffled Sakura's hair, "Tomorrow you can be discharged, but come back to me with any inkling of anything at all if something feels off. This is serious."
"Hai!"
