Mei's Pov
"Yes!" The girl shouted. I looked over to her, she had pink hair down to her shoulders and sea green eyes that showed one emotion; Hope. Chojuro, Ao and myself came to the leaf a few days ago to discuss a few things with the Hokage. Last night Chojuro came to me and told me that he had met a shinobi girl named Sakura and that she had been betrayed by her friends and everybody she loved. He looked at me pleadingly and asked if she could be a member of his team. I have never heard Chojuro ask for something, he was normally so shy.
Flash Back
"Mei sensei." "Yes Chojuro? Can I help you?" He blushed a deep red."I have something to tell you. I was walking down the road taking in the sights and I heard a girl crying. I found her sitting on a bench healing all these wounds on her arms and legs. When I asked her what was wrong, she said that when Sasuke came back home he brought his team member Karin with him. She had gotten over Sasuke a long time ago but for some reason Karin hated her. Then a few days later she was walking to go get some lunch when she noticed something was wrong. The girl Karin was crying holding a kunai in her shoulder, her team and friends all looked at her when she asked what was wrong this boy Naruto who was like a brother to her stated yelling horrible things at her. Then all her friends started to call her weak and all these other things. The next day Lady Tsunade fired her from her job as Tsunade's Apprentice, then she got kicked off her team, her sensei which is Kakashi Hatake called her weak. And each day it just got worse and worse. Then I asked her how she got wounded and she said that they ambushed her again! Then she said that it was the last time." "What happened next?!" "Well I asked her what she meant and she said that she was leaving this worthless village behind that she was going to become stronger she was going to become a missing nin, then she would come back and make them regret all the things they ever did or said to her." I was silent for a minute. " Well Chojuro go find her because she is now a Mist Ninja, she will be on your team, Ao will be your sensei, and she will be my apprentice. Tell her to meet me tomorrow at eight am." He nodded and scurried out.
End Flash Back
I smiled, this girl might even surpass me. I can't believe that she would say yes right away. I looked over at her. "What is your name?" Sakura Haruno." "Well Sakura I'm glad you have agreed to become a ninja of the mist, here's the deal. I will talk to the council of the Leaf and the Mist. You will be a ninja of the leaf as well as the Mist, so you will have to symbols on your forehead protector. You will be on Team Ao Chojuro will be your teammate as well, we will find another mist shinobi to be on your team later. You will also be my Apprentice. Ao and myself will be teaching you most of the time but there will be others. I know it is a lot to take in but just bear with me." Ao stood up.
"I'm Ao, you will call me Ao sensei. Training will be hard but in the end you will be a very strong shinobi." Ao said
"I'm Chojuro but you already knew that."
Sakura's Pov
I looked at Chojuro, he barely knew me yet he was doing all these things for me. I gave him my brightest smile! He blushed.
How cute, he's shy.
I thought I had gotten rid of you inner.
Nope, I just left for a while.
Great! I told inner. (Hint the sarcasm.)
"What should I call you?" I asked Mei.
"Call me Mei-sama or Mei-san."
"Okay and thank you so much if Chojuro hadn't come along I would be a missing nin by now."
They looked at me and gave me sad smiles. I followed them to the meeting with the council. The Lord of The Land of Fire was also there.
"This meeting was called because a leaf shinobi is becoming a mist shinobi. She will still be loyal to the leaf and bear the leaf symbol on her forehead protector. She may or may not come back to the leaf it is her choice."
Normal POV
The Lord of the Land of Fire stood up. "Quiet, Sakura Haruno may I speak with you outside with the Elders of the Leaf." Sakura stood up and walked outside the elders followed behind her.
"Why do you want to leave?" "My best friends betrayed me." Sakura replied with a voice that held no emotion. "I see… well then you may leave." Sakura bowed and went back into the room.
Sakura's POV
Mei-Sama looked at me. I give her a slight nod. She smiles. I pull the hood of my cloak up so no one could tell who I am, every part of me is covered, from my hair, and face, to the tip of my toes.
Normal POV
Tsunade bursts into the room! "What is going on? Is there a meeting that I missed?" "No, you were not invited." Danzo replied with a sneer. Just then 2 anbu, Shizune, Team Asuma, Team Guy, Team Kakashi (Yamato Sai Naruto Kakashi Sasuke and Karin), and Team Kurenai rushed into the room. "What is wrong milady?" Shizune asked.
"I was not aware that there was a meeting taking place." Tsunade growled completely ignoring Shizune.
"You were not informed of this meeting because I did not want you interfering." The Misukage told the Hokage. "Besides the decision has already been made."
You could see anger written all over the Hokage's face. "Who do you think you are, to speak to the Hokage like that?" Yelled Naruto.
Naruto POV
The guts that lady has to yell at granny like that. Does she want to die?
"I am the Misukage, for your information." Wait what did she just say. Oh. Now the kage hat makes sense. Granny looks pretty mad. I wonder what decision their talking about. By how granny is glancing at Kakashi sensei, I guess she doesn't know what decision their talking about either.
"Naruto. Sasuke." Sai whispered.
"What?" Sasuke whispered yelled.
"Who is that person over their?" Sai asked gesturing to a cloaked figure sitting next to the Misukage. (Hint Hint it's Sakura in case you didn't know.) Sasuke looked over at the cloaked figure.
"Hn" Sasuke replied.
Normal POV
The Hokage and Danzo were arguing. While everyone else was talking.
"This meeting is over." Announced the Lord of the Land of Fire.
2 Hour Time Skip
The pink haired kunoichi (HOPE I SPELLED THAT RIGHT) was whizzing around her room packing her stuff. She didn't want to keep anything that reminded her of the leaf or of her past life. The girl went to her closet, she pulled out 3 pairs of undies, a black pair, a white pair, and a pink pair. Then she pulled out 3 bras that matched her underpants. She then pulled out a fishnet long sleeved shirt and pants, next she got out her ninja boots and socks.
She passed the picture of team 7 when they had first formed. She picked it up and threw it at the wall, the wooden frame shattered into a million pieces. She continued into her bathroom, she grabbed her brush, tooth paste, tooth brush, womanly items, and a few hair ties. She turned towards the mirror and looked at her figure, she was nothing special, just dull, and her forehead did not help any on improving her looks. She looked away disappointed with how she looked. The pink haired ninja gathered all her ninja tools and her medical tools. Lastly she ventured into her kitchen, got out all the food and put it into a summoning scroll along with all the other things she had gathered. She put the scroll into her ninja back pack and set it down by her front door. She went back into her bedroom gathered all her cloths that she wasn't keeping, she got her bed sheets, jewelry, and all her other old belongings and shoved them into a black bag. She threw the bag over her shoulder and set out of her apartment for the store that paid you for your hand-me-downs.
It took her about 15 minutes to get to the store. When she opened the door a bell rang alerting the owner that a customer was there. A large woman came out from the back.
"How may I help you?" Asked the lady with disgust. (The village hates her because of Karin remember)
"How much can I get for these?" The woman looked into the bag.
"360."
"Look, I want a better price, the sooner I get one the sooner I will leave."
"Fine, 400."
"635."
"500."
"583. Except and I will be gone in less than thirty seconds."
"Deal." The woman handed the girl 583. The girl was out the door in less than 5 seconds! She tucked the money into her kunai pouched and went back to her apartment.
She lived on the third floor of an apartment complex. There were only 6 apartments, 2 on each floor. She lived in the east part of the village, the worst part of the village, where people that didn't have a lot of money lived. But the pink haired ninja had a secret, she had been saving up her money from since she started getting missions, she now had up to 38,500 saved and she was about to get more.
The little blossom headed to the land lords office. (That's the person who owns the apartment complex F-Y-I in case u didn't know.)She knocked on the door three times. A small man opened up the door.
"How may I help you?"
"I'm moving out, so how much money do I get?"
"1,000."
"Forget it, I'm not moving out for that price." The kunoichi knew he wanted her to move out, she was bad for business. People had threatened to move out of their apartment if he didn't kick her out.
"1,555."
"I'm not taking anything less than 5,000." She knew that was outrageous but she wanted to get the most money she could.
"You know what, fine, fine, you win here!" He handed her 5,000 her plan was working perfectly just one more step.
"And, I will pay you an extra 500 if you're completely moved out in 6 days." He added. YES, but I can probably do better, she thought!
"I'll be out by tomorrow night for another 500 on top of the one you just offered me." She said with a sly smile.
"All right." And he handed her a 1000. She gave him her biggest smile and walked up to her apartment.
She was a great bargainer and she knew it. She walked into her living room, lifted up one of the floor boards and got out a wooden box with pink cherry blossoms all over it. Inside the box was 38,500 in dollars.
"Let's see," she said to herself "38,500 plus the 583 that I got from the owner of that store then I need to add 5,000 that I got for selling my apartment, oh and the 1,000 I got for being able to move out by tomorrow night."
After a few moments…
"Well, that would add up to 45,083." She put all the money she had back into the box and slipped the box into her ninja bag. With all this money I can have a pretty decent apartment in the mist, she thought. She laid down on the couch and fell asleep.
A few hours later- 10:00pm…
Sakura woke up too find that she had slept for a while. It was already dark outside. She decided to head to the bar to get a few drinks.
She locked her door behind her and put her keys in her pocket. She went to the bar all the way on the west side of the village. She decided to just walk instead of running on roofs. The pinket walked unhurriedly to the bar her shoulder pink hair flowing behind her in the wind.
She reached the bar in half an hour. She sat down at one of the tables and pulled out an old medical book. She started reading where she had left off, page 76. Seven people walked in, Sakura didn't even bother to look to see who they were, she didn't care. But the kunoichi did look up when they sat down next to her.
Sakura Pov
'Seven people just sat down next to you Outer Sakura'
Really well that is interesting.
'Are you going to look to see who it is.'
I guess.
I looked up to see Genma, Kotetsu, Izumo, Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, and Yamato.
Why would they sit next to me? Hmm.
"Hey, Sakura."
"Hello." I just sat there confused.
"Why are you out so late?" Genma asked.
"Why do you care?" I asked looking back down at my book.
"Just curious." Kotetsu said. I closed my book stood up and walked out.
"Wait!" They yelled in together.
