Hi guys, hope you like this NaruSaku fanfic, if you like, please review, it's the best way to encourage me ^^.
Chapter 1 : The day the life changed
Once upon a time, in the Konoha Kingdom, the most beautiful and prosperous kingdom in the world, there is a pink-haired girl named Sakura Haruno. She lived alone in a small village near the palace, where the king lived. Her job was teaching the children in the village, but she still very poor because she can only teach the ones who can't go to school. Yes, an intelligent, erudite girl like that didn't deserve such an austere life. But one day, a day that changed her life.
"It's been two years since the queen passed away, but the king hasn't take another wife yet, it will be a big problem if we just keep him like that." Sasuke Uchiha, a trustworthy henchman of the king, said to Shikamaru Nara, the mastermind.
"Yeah, I bet we should do it on our own, then let the time do the rest." Shikamaru replied.
"The lady must be intelligent and beautiful, of course, not resemble the queen." Sasuke said, put his hand under his chin.
"Shall we look for her today ?"
"Ok guys, you can go home now, see you all tomorrow !" Sakura, as usual, ended up another class with the kids.
"See you tomorrow, Haruno-sensei." The kids replied in chorus.
Sakura sighed, Another day has nearly passed, she thought, I need to find a job, a full-time job, or else I might starve to death, but… I don't want to abandon the kids…. She was sunk in thinking. Finding a job was not difficult at all, but if she had a job, the kids would have no classes. The other job of Sakura at that moment was babysitting a 3-year-old boy of a noble family, but she earned not really much by that.
"Watch your move, idiot." Suddenly, she heard a loudly noise that pulled her out of thought.
"Sorry, sir, I didn't mean to."
There was a middle-aged man who was covered in dirt, and a boy was standing in front of him and bowed down to the ground.
"Sorry won't effect, you have to pay for this." The man was still angry.
"But… I don't have money." The boy jumped out of his skin.
"I don't care, if you don't have money, you will have to do something for me to pay for this."
What a pitiless man. Sakura thought. No need to think about anything, she jumped in the conversation.
"Sorry, sir, but the boy has already said sorry, and he didn't mean to, it's just a little dirt, after you take a bath and wash the clothes, you'll be clean like before." Sakura said.
The man seemed to be speechless, but he still tried to have something to say.
"I… I don't have time for that, I'm very busy."
"So is he, he's just a kid, but I bet that he has more things to do than you, most of all, he isn't clean like you usually are. Why don't you think about that ?" Sakura said.
The man's face looked puzzled instead of self-confident like before. He couldn't browbeat Sakura because there were many people around.
"Okay then, you win, and you don't have to pay anything." The man said, then leave, boiled over with suppressed anger. The boy smiled happily, looked at Sakura with appreciated eyes.
"Thank you very much." The boy said.
"You're welcome, ah, I haven't gotten your name yet." Sakura asked.
"I'm Kochiro Uzumaki."
"Uzumaki ? That's…" Sakura's eyes widen, she realized something strange.
"Well done, little prince, sensei appreciate that." A voice appeared.
"Ah, sensei." The boy said loudly and ran to the one who just spoke.
There were two men, one with black-haired that was tied high, one with raven-haired and raven-eyed. The raven-haired walked closer to Sakura and introduced himself.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha, one of the king's henchman," Then he turned to the black-haired, "and this is Shikamaru Nara, the mastermind of the king."
Sakura couldn't say a word, she still didn't understand anything.
"Oh, and this is Kochiro Uzumaki, the little brother of the king." Shikamaru talked about the boy who was standing next to him.
"Sensei, you saw what I have done ?" The boy said in happiness.
"Yes, you have done a really good work, I will reward you when we return." Shikamaru smiled with him.
"Yay." Kochiro leaped for joy.
"Wait, what work ? And why is "the king" here ? And, why are the… poor boy is the brother of the king ?" Sakura said, still didn't get anything.
