Black Hearts Turned Pink
Kai: Hey people. This is my first story so I hope you like it and please review. Take it away Shikamaru.
Shikamaru: You're troublesome.
Kai: *glare*
Shikamaru: *sigh* Kai-Zuki does not own the Naruto characters or any Naruto products. Just the story.
Kai: See, that wasn't so hard. Hope you guys enjoy. :D
"Sakura." The pinkette turned to see her former sensei walking towards her, hands in his pockets. A small smile appeared on her tired face.
"Hai?" Kakashi smiled at her, his only visible eye crinkling slightly.
"Tsunade wants to see you. Something about an important mission." Her smile dropped and she sighed, causing Kakashi to chuckle. He put his hand on her head, affectionately ruffling her hair.
"I'm sure if you finish this one quick enough, she'll give you a break," he said, trying to cheer her up. She looked up at him, smiling again.
"Yeah, or she might find another mission to send me on." He kissed her forehead through his mask.
"I'm sorry Sakura." She sighed.
"Not your fault Kakashi." And with that said, she disappeared in a swirl of cherry blossoms. Kakashi sighed. 'She's grown so much,' he thought, 'I'm proud of her.'
"You called?" Sakura asked, reappearing in the Hokage's office. Tsunade slowly opened her eyes and looked at her former apprentice. 'She's grown so much,' she thought proudly.
Sakura was seventeen, almost eighteen, with waist length, pink hair and bright, green eyes. She curved out perfectly in all the right places, better than Ino, which made her very good at seducing. Her practice and training with Tsunade and herself made her so powerful that she surpassed Tsunade herself, plus her medic skills were legendary. This was the reason Tsunade made her ANBU Commander.
"I need you for a very important ANBU mission," she said, folding her fingers in front of her, "I have an important scroll I want delivered to Suna and I'm sending you alone. I expect you back in a week. If you haven't reached back within that time and I haven't heard anything from you, I'm sending ninjas after you. You leave in an hour." She handed Sakura the scroll.
"Dismissed." Sakura bowed her head and disappeared in another swirl of cherry blossom petals. Tsunade smiled to herself, 'Such a powerful girl.'
Sakura quickly packed her bag with all the necessary things she need for the mission and quickly ate some food then changed into her ANBU armour. She put on the bag and picked up her ANBU cat mask, then proceeded to open the door. She was surprised to see all her friends standing up, Ino's fist in the position to knock. When she saw what Sakura had on, she groaned very loudly.
"Another mission Forehead?" Sakura smiled.
"Sorry pig, I didn't ask for them," she answered, "Big promotions come with big money and big responsibilities." Neji held up a black cloak with a hood and stepped forward.
"Tsunade-sama said I was to give this to you," he said quietly. Sakura slipped her bag off her shoulders and almost smirked when the guys ran their eyes over her curves.
"Can I get some help?" she asked. Ino spun her around and quickly plaited her hair down her back with a big, black elastic at the end. Hinata and Tenten held up some black armour which caused her to raise an eyebrow.
"Tsunade-sama said that scroll is really important and she wants to make extra sure you're not seen," Tenten explained. Sakura sighed and stripped off her white armour then allowed Tenten and Hinata help her put on the black armour. Neji helped her put on the cloak. Sakura picked up the mask, putting it on and picked up her bag.
"Bye guys." They grinned
"Bye Neko-san." She laughed and threw her keys at Ino.
"I have the spare. Just lock up for me." And with that said she took off, jumping from roof to roof at a very fast speed, barely using any chakra.
"Wow. She's good," Naruto commented. The others agreed.
"You think she'll forgive us for what happened?" Tenten asked as they walked away after Ino locked the house. They shrugged
"I hope so," Shikamaru answered, "It would be very bad for Konoha if we lost her." They agreed again then changed the subject.
"Why are you sending all eight of us?" a deep, velvety voice asked. The leader looked at him.
"Because the ninja we're after happens to be very hard to capture and knows too much about this organization," his smooth baritone answered, "But, I want this ninja alive."
"I'm assuming you don't know the name or gender of this ninja," a deep, calm voice stated.
"No I don't," the leader answered, sounding slightly annoyed, "But he's an ANBU and goes by the alias Neko-san. I want you to capture him and bring him back here." They nodded then disappeared.
