What the fuck? A new story? When are you going to finish Voice of a Blossom or continue Revival's End!?

Yeah, I know guys. A new story when I never got to the other ones? Well, this isn't really a 'new' story, I wrote this when I had some kind of writing spree 3~4 years ago when I was in high school. I apparently wrote three chapters for this story and since I honestly have no idea when I'm ever going to continue my other stories I thought I'd give you this. I re-read it and found it pretty okay for a beginner's high school me so here you go. Enjoy.

Chapter 1

"Successful cloning of an increasing number of species confirms the general impression

that it would be possible to clone any mammalian species, including humans."

Ian Wilmut

It was midnight within the walls of the Hidden Leaf Village, the streets were empty except for the few adults out for a nice drink. None noticed the small fleet of masked shinobi jumping from roof to roof, nor the blond woman leading the small fleet.

Please, whatever god that exist out there please tell me this is all just a misunderstanding.

The fleet shot out, through the Konoha's great gates and started towards the dark forest surrounding the village. They had one purpose and one purpose only. To capture the medical kunoichi who could be possibly conducting illegal experiments in a hidden lab out in the forest.

Sensei….is this how you felt when you found Orochimaru, your best student, betrayed you?

You betrayed her first.

The Blond woman flinched at the sudden thought.

But it wasn't really betrayal, right? Her student was doing something outrageous, something impossible, something that was never meant to happen. And it was her job as the Hokage to make a stop to her student's mistakes, right?

By breaking her heart?

Only a few meters ahead of the group was a normal forest wall, like every other view around them.

Genjutsu.

A man with a hawk mask ran ahead of the group and broke the genjutsu, revealing a slim opening from the supposed forest wall. The group slowed down at the mouth of the cave and cautiously entered. When they reached the end of the cave, a silver-haired nin with his own personal ANBU mask detected a hidden stairwell going underground. The six ninjas slowly entered the earth, weapons drawn, all mentally ready to witness whatever was to greet them. They entered a dark hallway, lit up by dim candles, casting ominous shadows flickering every now and then.

The leader of the group, the Hokage, marched on forwards sensing the familiar chakra up ahead at the end of the hall. There was just one door at the end and the Hokage didn't hesitate to burst it open with her heels, her group of ANBUs rushed into the room with weapons raised.

"Hello sensei."

Shock. There were no other words to describe what Tsunade and her group were feeling, just …shock.

"Sakura…what have you done?" Tsunade whispered out, her dark caramel eyes darted around the room then landed onto her pupil.

"I wanted him back. I wanted what was taken away from me…from what you've taken away from me." Sakura stood with her back facing the newcomers. In front of her were lines of human-sized test tubes on both walls. Each filled with greenish-blue substance. It wasn't the substance that shocked the newcomers; it was what was in them of course.

Some had half formed human bodies, some just the inner organs of a human, some were just unrecognizable blobs, and some…full human bodies. All in all they all, looked similar to each other as if trying to create one specific person.

One specific person….and Tsunade knew who that person was…or should it be 'is'?

"Haruno Sakura you are hereby arrested for conducting experiments and research that was not reported or approved by the Hokage. We request you come peacefully—"

"into your jailhouse?" the pinkette chuckled darkly. "Shouldn't you at least hear my defense…sensei?" Sakura finally turned to face the group, a soft but tired smile gracing her lips.

Hesitating for a second, Tsunade opened her mouth, doubting for another second that she wouldn't be able to produce any words.

How did it come to this?

"I don't think there is any explanation needed, this" she indicated with a nod of her head at the test tubes," explains everything already, Sakura." It took everything Tsunade had to not cry out 'why', she didn't want to lose Sakura. No, she couldn't lose anyone anymore, she was so tempted to turn and just run back home. But she couldn't, she is the Hokage, she had responsibilities and expectations to meet. So she lifted her head high and met her pupils green orbs.

Kami. Sakura, what did you do to yourself?

Dark circles sagged under the pinkette's eyes, her once bright emerald eyes were dulled, her skin pale and sickly, her shoulders slumped forward. Her already petite frame looked smaller and fragile.

"They look disgusting to you, don't they? But to me…they are my hope, my light. Just hear me out please sensei? After what you took away from me, you could at least hear me out? Then you can decide, just hear me out, please." Sakura weakly begged, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

Little did she know that she had already won her teacher's heart at the word "hope".

"Fine. Let's hear it, but in a different room, I can't hear you out right with 'him' everywhere. You have five minutes Sakura, follow me." Tsunade spun around her heels and walked back to the hallway, her green robe flying behind her.

And Sakura followed.

Reviews would be cool. May motivate or inspire me.
When should I upload the next chapter?
