I've wanted to write this story for a while now, so here it is my amazingly 'original' idea! Characters might be a bit occ…
Summary:
Set in a modern day Konaha: Sakura's a ninja under cover, living in a world where few know of their existence, she has to go to School and pretend to be normal. For being revealed can only mean death. In this city where 95 of its people are normal, you can never let your guard down, not even for a second.
……………………………………………………………………..
Konaha, a city once renowned for it's excellent ninja, has now become one of the biggest Tourist attractions in the land of fire. It was always busy and now that summer had finally come along, the tourists where coming in by the bus load. The lights of Cameras flashing everywhere, as everyone rushed to be the first one to see the stone where all the great hokage's faces were engraved.
A young girl slipped between the crowds unnoticed, she was taking a risk and she knew it. But her thoughts were concentrated only on her goal and she knew that the tourist's eyes were too slow, they would never see her. Even if she stood right in front of them, she knew that her concealment technique would make sure that she went unnoticed. Too the untrained eye, she was invisible.
Finally she had arrived at her destination; she looked up at the stupid sign which hung over the large building. How distasteful, she thought. The sign was huge and had tons of pictures of weapons on it, the weapons made up these four words 'Welcome to Ninja high'. She could have laughed at the names stupidity, so embarrassing, as if a Ninja would state their location so clearly. Tourist's, it was all for the sake of those Damn tourists.
Those tourist's were responsible for everything, they were the reason that she had to live in secrecy in her own town. They had twisted the powerful meaning of the word Ninja and had turned it into a franchise of plush toys and blow up weapons. 'Ninja' was now a word only used by little children playing stupid games. It was no longer a word that was revered and feared, just part of little child's fantasy.
The girl clenched her fists, she wanted to tear that stupid sign to shreds, and then force feed every scarp of paper into the mouths of all those stupid tourists who had taken away the Ninja's former glory. But she stopped herself, just as she always did and stepped through the door and into the school.
"Hi Sakura" another girl called, waving at the pink haired girl. Sakura smiled and waved back.
"Hi Hinata, I believe you owe me 10 bucks" said Sakura, smiling greedily "I got here on time didn't I?" she held out her hand and the other girl handed her the money.
"You're sure you didn't cheat Sakura, you know, by doing things you're not supposed to…" said Hinata, trailing off at the look on Sakura's face. "Oh, I'm sorry Sakura I didn't mean to suggest, I mean I know you wouldn't…" Hinata stared at her friend nervously, waiting for her to speak.
"Remember where you are Hinata!" said Sakura, looking cross for a moment." You know better than to talk about such matters with other people around, you've got to be more careful"
"I'm sorry Sakura, but I didn't think that anyone would be able to guess what we were talking about just from the word cheating…" said Hinata quietly. Sakura's face softened at the look of panic on Hinata's face.
"Maybe I was being a bit paranoid" Sakura admitted "And I have to say that I did not cheat! Using one's abilities, to the fullest is not cheating!" she said laughing.
"But Sakura doesn't that mean that you did-"the girl was interrupted by Sakura before she could Finnish.
"Sorry Hinata, but I've got to go, the bells about to ring! See you at break" shouted Sakura, as she ran away, before she was forced to give the money back. Hinata was just left there, standing there, with plenty of time to think about Sakura's hypocrisy.
"So much for being 'careful'" she mumbled to herself, before heading to class.
Meanwhile Sakura was rushing to her locker; she needed to get all her books out before the bell rang. She realised that, she shouldn't have gotten so sidetracked with Hinata, now all her efforts on getting to school on time had become a waste!
As soon as she reached her locker, she got out her key and pilled all her books into her bag; she didn't have time to check which ones were actually needed.
"Ring, Ring" Damn it, she thought as she heard the sound of the bell echo through out the halls. The hall was now almost empty, only a few stragglers were left all of them rushing desperately to their classes; it wasn't long before she was the only one left.
Finally, having scoped her lockers entire contents into her bag, she closed her locker. When she suddenly heard a loud crashing sound coming from the other end of the hall. She slung her bag over her shoulder and ran in the direction of the sound, hoping that no one was hurt. She felt for the Kunai in her sleeve, hoping that it wasn't an enemy attack. She got to the other side of the hall with lightning speed, Kunai in her hand, ready for the attack.
But what she saw was not an enemy attacker; it was Naruto, a worthless student. Who seemed to be stuck under a pile of books. Slowly the boy stood up and brushed himself off.
"Oh, hey Sakura, what that thing you've got in your hand?" he asked. Sakura quickly hid the kunai up her sleeve, too fast; she was sure for the idiot to notice
"What are you talking about?" she held out her now empty hand "there's nothing see?" she said smiling, hoping the blonde would buy it. The boy continued to stare at her hand suspiciously.
"But, I'm sure I saw something…"
"Must have been your imagination" said Sakura smiling "Did all your books from your locker fall on top of you? You should try and be more careful!" Sakura paused for a moment to look at the time "I'm sorry Naruto but I'm going to be late, see you later!" Sakura then rushed off, leaving Naruto on his own, to pick up his books.
"Damn hypocrite" he said to himself "She's the one who needs to be more careful! What kind of idiot carries a knife around in school?" Naruto put the last of his books into his bag, making sure that none of the Kunai were sticking out of the front covers. Every single one of his text books had a kunai hidden inside of the cover, carefully sealed, just encase of an emergency. He spotted a Kunai that had fallen on the floor, he picked it up and twirled it around his finger. That girl isn't the only Hypocrite around here, he thought, smiling to himself.
