Sakura Haruno was sitting in her small pink room with a book in her hands. It's a book about Shinobi. Although she had read it many times before, she still loved reading it. She especially enjoys the part where they explain what Kekkei Genkai and Nōryoku are. She had gone over this particular page so many times, she's now able to tell whether a technique is part of a Kekkei Genkai, Nōryoku or regular Shinobi techniques. And now... she was reading it again.
...All ninja clans posses a Kekkei Genkai or a Nōryoku. Kekkei Genkai, literally meaning blood circulation limit, is an ability that is passed on by bloodline. Under the category Kekkei Genkai fall Dōjutsu. other nature transformations and several other things, examples are: Sharingan, Byakugan, Ice Release, Wood Release and many more. Nōryoku, literally meaning ability, is not passed on by bloodline unlike Kekkei Genkai. Nōryoku are secret techniques passed on through clans. Examples for clans that specialize in these techniques are: The Yamanaka, The Nara and The Akimichi clans. Nōryoku can also be special abilities that eventually turn into Kekkei Genkai. That is also the reason that the category Kekkei Genkai has more than just Dōjutsu and nature transformations. Nōryoku in other words is simply a technique that no one else has besides the people in that particular clan. Clans with Kekkei Genkai can have Nōryoku as well, but those often come in the shape of regular Shinobi techniques. The Uchiha clan has special Fire Release Jutsu for example...
Sakura would often fangirl about what a real Shinobi fight would look like. Sometimes she'd wish she was born into a ninja clan and could kick ass, maybe even become the best Kunoichi ever. Perhaps even Hokage! But sadly this wasn't the case. She was born into a normal civilian family. And they didn't have much money either. Shinobi are mostly always rich. Civilians can never gain as much money as they do.
She sighed 'I love my parents but I can't help but dream about if they weren't my parents'
Sakura had heard things about the Uchiha clan... one of the strongest and best clans ever. Apparently all Uchiha's are very talented. Sometimes she would imagine what it would be like... being part of a power full clan.
She decided to go for a walk and walked over to the door. She tried to pull the door handle down but it broke instead. Sakura yelped in surprise.
'I know the house is a bit crappy but... why did it break?'
As startled as she was, she chose to ignore it and pushed the door open. Which went smoother than it should have. She had pretty much pulled it out of the door frame.
'I guess I need a new door... or i'll just hang a curtain on the door frame... that's much cheaper'
Seeing as her house was a one-story building, she could simply turn right and after about four meters she would reach the house door. Sakura carefully tried opening the door, this time the handle didn't break.
'Ah i'm just being paranoid... It really just was a crappy old door'
She left the house. There wasn't much of a front yard, except for some weeds and... is that a dead mouse?
'Did that damn cat really drop another dead mouse in front of our house!?'
Stupid cat Sakura's Inner said.
'And it's also black... I hope I won't see him today, I really don't want bad luck'
Too late Inner mentally pointed to the other side of the street.
'Oh...' She spotted the cat on the sidewalk.
Sakura passed the cat and decided to go to the park. During her walk, you could spot an obvious change in surroundings. The buildings were bigger and better than those in her district.
After a ten minute walk she finally arrived at the park. Sakura loved taking walks in the park. The environment was so beautiful here. She fastened her pace a bit. Not watching were she was going, she tripped and fell hard on her knees. She turned to look at what she tripped on.
'A branch!? Seriously?' She growled.
She took a look at her knees. Her right knee was bleeding. She decided it was best to go clean it with water and tried to get up, despite the fact that it hurt a lot. But then something strange happend. Her knee was rapidly healing by itself, leaving only some white smoke behind. Her eyes widened in shock realizing she no longer felt any pain.
'W-what w-was that?'
Snapping out of it, she started to run back home, surprised about not feeling any pain on her right knee. Upon arriving home she pretty much broke down the door, which made her freak out even more, and immediately sprinted to the bad room. It had no door, there was only a curtain for when using the shower. She grabbed a pair of scissors and made a cut on her arm. Although that was unarguably not a good idea, she was simply too shaken up to think rationally. It was healing. Her eyes darted towards the mirror. She immediately dropped the scissors when she saw it. Th landed on the ground with a soft thump.
On her forehead was a purple diamond... it slowly disappeared.
"T-this is... impossible...!" She exclaimed. It shouldn't be possible. Was it a Nōryoku? Must be, she was very sure she could recognize one if she saw one. But... how... is that possible? Is this real? No way…
Well I guess you could say i've never ever put that much time into writing a story part. Sometimes I just come up with an idea, expand the idea further and then decide to write a story. Like this one. I would appreciate constructive critism, I really hope to improve my writing. Story cover by Pan. Eupheria is an alternative name of mine.
