-Please note-

This Story is based around the mid/end of the first part of the Naruto Animated series. THIS IS NOT SHIPPUDEN. And although in the anime they are 12-13 and in the shippuden they are 15-16, I like to imagine that they are 15-16 or 14 at the youngest in the first part and 17-18 in the shipuuden. So lets keep that in mind with this story, them being around 15-16, Otherwise if they where 12-13 then this story would just be completley wrong. Thank-you.

Chapter 1 – The Arrival

It was another sunny day in Konahagakure and everyone seemed cheerful and happy. Sakura was standing on the bridge above a beautiful river, daydreaming and sprinkling pink flower petals into the clear blue water below her. But something seemed off. something was different. It was quiet, too quiet in fact, where was Naruto? She thought to herself. He usually ruined these beautiful moments of hers but he was no where to be seen. Not that it mattered to her though because Sakura was enjoying the peace and quiet for once.

She lifted her head and took a deep breath taking in all the scenery when suddenly there was a loud noise of footsteps and wind rushing past, a flash of orange and yellow zooming towards her then it stopped suddenly catching its breath... and there was Naruto.

Great, thought Sakura.

Naruto had stopped sprinting and stood right behind sakura as she looked out at the river below her on the bridge, she turned round slowly to greet him Keeping her legs fixed but moving her torso and head to look behind her.

"What now Naruto, can't you see I'm enjoying this lovely sunny day, without you bugging me." She sighed with annoyance and turned back around continuing to stare out onto the water.

Naruto looked up catching his breath.

"There's... i saw... come and see quick!" He yelled grabbing Sakura's arm and pulling her towards him.

"Get off me!" She yelled, whilst being pulled by Naruto away from position she was in, leaning over the bridge "saw what?" She asked a little curious.

"A... someone...a girl" Naruto said still trying to catch is breath.

"A girl?" Sakura said to herself but loud enough that Naruto noticed.

"Just come" He said still tugging on her arm.

"Ok Fine I'll come but this better be good" Sakura said angrily.

Naruto pulled her arm as she finished her sentance and the flower petals flew out of her hand and onto the bridge, eventually he let go when she began to run beside him. They didnt speak, Sakura ony followed Naruto a little annoyed but filled with curiosity. Naruto had lead her to the outskirts of the Hokage's building.

What are we doing here? Sakura thought to her self, is something wrong?

Naruto fled up the stairs grabbing hold of Sakura's arm again, just as they reached the top they heard some voices.

"Quick!" Naruto shouted Pulling sakura up onto the rooftop.

"What are you doing you knuckle head!" sakura shouted at him

"shhhh, be quiet look, look!"

Sakura peered down to see Lady Tsunade and ... someone new. A girl, just like Naruto had said. She was very pretty and she looked the same age as herself and Naruto. She had glistening blue eyes, Medium long wavy brown hair with a side fringe on the right and she had a warm gentle smile. As for clothing she wore a short skirt with fishnet tights that ended just above her knee on her left leg and had a strapped top with fishnets covering her right hand.

She was being given a head band so this meant that she was a ninja, a new ninja. She didn't look familiar though. She smiled and thanked the Hokage (Lady Tsunade) and tied her new head band around her neck, not too loose but not too tight.

"See. I told you there was someone new, weird huh, I saw her with the hokage and didn't recognise her so I thought i'd come spy, I wonder why we have a new ninja around, maybe i should go talk to her" Naruto said eagerly

"err on second thought" Sakura said grabbing the back of his collar stopping him from going anywhere "maybe you shouldn't. I'll got talk to her"

She waited for the new ninja to walk down the steps before Jumping down from the rooftop onto some steps that the new girl wouldn't have reached yet and then Sakura pretended to bump into her when they crossed paths.

"Oh sorry I didn't see you there, clumsy me." She giggled "My names Sakura"

"Oh thats ok, I wasn't really looking either" She giggled as well" Sakura, hmm, thats a lovely Name. My names..."

But just as she was finishing her sentence she was cut off by Naruto who barged in grabbing her hand and shaking it furiously.

"Hi my names Naruto, nice to meet yah. oh don't mind sakura she's the weird one around here, I'm gonna be Hokage one day just you wait and see. beleive it!"

And at that moment a huge fist came crashing down on Naruto's head. It was Sakura and she was not amused.

"Naruto! you idiot! Can't you see she's new around here! Your weirding the poor girl out. Go and bother someone else!" Sakura yelled at Naruto, who was now cowering on the floor.

"Sorry about that" Sakura cringed "So you where saying?" She asked.

But the girl wasn't listening she seemed occupied with something in the distance.

"What's she staring at?... whats her name?" Naruto asked Sakura

"Shut up knuckled head!" Sakura replied

"Who's that?" The girl asked but as Sakura looked to where she was staring there was no one there.

"Who's who?" sakura answered

"I swear I saw someone. Someone tall, Mysterious" She began mumbling to herself

Naruto and Sakura where looking at her as if she was crazy.

"Never mind?" she replied " sorry for being rude my names Saki. It means blossom"

"Thats so pretty" Sakura replied

"Thanks" said Saki

"So do you know who your sensei is yet?" Naruto asked

"No. I haven't even looked around yet or met anyone else. The Hokage and you two are the only people i've met so far, She said that i'd have to come back to see her later to find out who's team I'll be on" Saki replied.

"Oh, well we could always show you around in the meantime" Naruto suggested

"Yeah great idea, you could meet all the other ninja's at the same time, then at least you'd know some of them before you get placed into a team with them" Sakura said.

And with that they began giving her a tour of their village and she got to met all of the other ninja's, Hinata, Neji, Tenten, Choji, Ino, Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba and Rock Lee. She was very eager to meet them as she wanted to see if she could find the person she thought she saw earlier, the tall, mysterious guy or maybe even a girl but sadly no one she met fit the image of the figure she saw. Despite this she did seem to get along with all of them although she seemed a little uncomfortable around Lee.

She wondered who's team she would join and the other ninja's wondered the same, most of the guys hoped that she'd be on their team, she seemed to win their hearts over. Most of the boys said that she was pretty and they all tried to impress her but she wasn't really that interested. she wanted to know more, more about that figure she saw and who it could be.
