Chapter 1 Enter Uchiha

Sakura POV

It was Sai who brought the news. Uchiha Sasuke was back, and cleared of charges. Oh, and he was under my command. 'This day just keeps getting better and better.'

"Ugly, are you coming or not?" Sai asked. His annoying fake smile had eventually turned into a real smile but it still pissed me off.

"Go to hell, Sai." I told him and stuck my tongue out at him. "Lets go"

It was a long trip to Tsunade-shishou's office so we took a shortcut. We soon appeared in her office with a swirl of ink and sakura-petals.

"Damn it, Sai! Your fricken ink always gets on my clothes! Do you really have to do that so close to me?" I asked him in mock anger.

"You know you guys could always just use the front door." Tsunade offered wearily.

"Lady Tsunade!" a loud blonde man zoomed into the office, with a dark haired girl who followed at a walking pace. About thirty seconds after they walked in, a very pissed off looking Neji walked in glaring at his future cousin-in-law, the aforementioned loud blonde, Naruto.

"Naruto, I swear if you run off like that with her again, I will kill you!" Neji growled at him. Hinata, who was not quite as shy around people she new after dating Naruto and hanging out with Neji, rolled her eyes.

"Neji," the soft-spoken woman started. "Did you forget that soon he will be part of the family?"

"Not if I have any thing to say about it" the boy haired man grumbled to himself, forgetting that the rest of us are shinobi as well and can hear him perfectly fine. I shot him a glare to keep him from arguing further, as the rest of my special force team arrived.

Ino, followed by Kiba, filed in; Shino came by himself; Shikamaru and Choji were next, debating whether or not the brand of potato chips that Choji had in his hand were the best; Rock Lee trotted in with Tenten chattering about taijutsu vs. her weapons' mastery. I noticed then all of us were in ANBU gear with our masks at our sides. I decided that we should put them on and gave signal to the others to do so.

"Well, since everyone's here, I shall reintroduce you to the newest member. Uchiha!" Shishou yelled the last part, and the unforgettable teen ambled in. Now addressing him; "This is your squad now. I'm placing you under my strongest Captain as third."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." He said in his deep baritone voice. Sasuke's eyes traveled among us and recognized a few from their hair or stance. Neji, from his long chocolate brown hair, Naruto, from hid blonde, Shikamaru, from his lazy slouch, and Choji as he is larger than all of the rest of us.

"Good, Haruno-san has some initiation tests for you. I'm sure you'll pass with flying colors." She said the last part with a bit of a sarcastic tone, with would have made me laugh if I were not in uniform. The last name had not registered with him either because he just nodded dumbly.

"Come with us." Short and sweet that's how I kept my answer. He was, again, nodding as we walked him to our old training field.

"You will fight all of us as I choose, but while doing this you must also fight me." I said in what Naruto refers to as my 'ANBU' voice, flat and emotionless.

"Fine, but reveal yourself first." Sasuke replied with narrowed eyes. I snickered and took off my mask. The recognition immediately flashed through his features. Soon replaced by a smirk. "Hello Sakura."
