DISCALIMER: I do not own Naruto
Ok this is my first Naruto Story! I'll try my hardest believe it!
Note that I changed a few things. But I hope you enjoy!
The quiet wind and breeze...that's all Sakura Haruno could hear this beautiful day as she sat on a hill over looking Konohagakure.
'I wondered if anyone remembered today' Sakura thought to herself. 'I mean come on it's my 13th birthday'
"Sakura?" a voice said from behind her. "Well it is Sakura"
"Ino" Sakura said with a smile.
"Well well billboard brow whatca doing way up here?" Ino asked, coming into view.
"Well Ino pig I'm just enjoying the view" Sakura mumbled. 'And just when I started to enjoy the quietness'
"Oh come on Sakura I'm just kidding with you" Ino said with a smile and as she sat next to her. "I got something for the birthday girl"
"What?" Sakura said/yelled in excitement.
"Hold on a moment" Ino said with a smile as she started to grab a small wrapped box out of her pocket and handed it to Sakura. "Here"
"What is it?"
"Just open it!"
"Fine fine" Sakura said and started to unwrap the small box and to her surprise it was the old ribbon Ino gave her when they were little girls. Taking a look at it again Sakura noticed a red rose attached to the ribbon. "It-it's" Sakura couldn't find the words for it.
"What you don't like it?" Ino asked with disappiontment.
"Ino I-I love it!" Sakura said and hugged her best friend.
"I knew it because I AWAYS get the best gifts!" Ino smirked and hugged Sakura back.
"You're going a bit to far" Sakura said released the hug.
"I know" Ino said with a smiled.
"Training!" Sakura yelled and smacked herself in the forehead.
"Careful or you'll crack that head of yours" Ino said with a small chuckle and looked at Sakura to see her glaring.
"I'll see ya late Ino pig!" Sakura said, getting up,grabbed her stuff and headed to the village.
"Bye!" Ino said as she watched her best friend rush to the village. 'What a crazy' Ino couldn't help but giggle.
'I wonder if Naruto and Kakashi remember...but I REALLY hope Sasuke remembered too' Sakura wondered as she walked to the training ground to meet up with her team for their mission tomorrow.
"Sakura!" A blonde boy known a Naruto yelled.
'Oh no not Naruto' Sakura thought.'It's not that I hate him he's just sooo annoying!'
"Happy Birthday Sakura!" Naruto said as he ran to Sakura.
"Thanks Naruto" Sakura said and trying to smile. "Where's Sasuke?'
"Here I got you this" Naruto said and handed her a coupon to the ramen shop for free ramen.
"Um...Thanks" Sakura said giving him a warm smile. "Uh where's Sasuke?"
"Oh Sasuke is training with Kakashi today...I train with that damn pervy sage" Naruto mumbled the last part.
"But what about me?" Sakura asked already knowing the answer.
"You have to train with Tsunade-" Naruto was cut off by the sound of Sakura's goan. "Aww come on Sakura it's just for today"
"But she's always hard on me!" Sakura complained.
"It must be for a good reason" Naruto said trying to make the best of it.
"I know...I know" Sakura said in disappiontment.
"Don't worry about it'll be over before you know it" Naruto said with a smile and Sakura huffed.
"Well Sakura I got to go but I'll see you later"
"Bye Naruto" Sakura mumbled.
"Bye!" Naruto said before running off to find his teacher.
"Why me?" Sakura mumbled. 'And today of all days! Why?' Sakura sighed and went off walking to the Hokage Tower.
'I bet Tsunde is going to be busy like always! All she does is teach me any other medic jutsu and not used in fighting...but maybe today she'll teach me something interesting!' Sakura sighed a the thought. "I want to be strong like Naruto and Sasuke" Sakura said quietly so people couldn't hear.'I mean its not my falt she never has time for me...' Sakura started to walk through the long hallways. No matter how manys times she came down this wall they were always confusing...
"Excuse me" Sakura stopped a ninja walking in the hallway for a moment. "Where is Lady Tsunade's office"
"Down the hall and to the right" The ninja answered with a smile.
"Arigato" Sakura thanked and continued walking down the hall. 'This better be worth the trip!'
And after a few turns and walking Sakura finally made it to Tsunade's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Tsunade answered from behind the door.
"Yes my lady" Sakura said respectly,came in and bowed.
"I want to be one of many to wish you a Happy Birthday" Tsunade said with her one of a kind smiles. 'She's growing up so fast...it's just yesterday she was a inmature girl...I think it's time'
"Thank you my lady" Sakura said with a bright smile. 'At lease she remembered'
"I wanted to give you something very dear to me" Tsunade motioned Sakura to come closer.
Sakura obeyed and came closer to her teacher. "Yes?-" A small item wrapped around Sakura's neck before she could finish sentence. "What's this?" She asked Tsunade.
"It's the first Hokage's necklace...and I'm giving it to you" Tsunade said smiling.
'Wow I can't beileve this!' Sakura thought with her head down."I-I can't accept this" Sakura said looking up with tears in her eyes.
"Yes you can Sakura" Tsunade said as she looked away.
"But-"
"Take it Sakura it is very dear to me...as are you...I want you to have it" Tsunade said with tears in her eyes...but not sad tears...but tears of happyness. "Now are we going to get to the training?"
"Y-yes mam!" Sakura said and wiped away the tears. "I'm ready!"
"Now let's get to business" Tsunade said as she put her arm around her pupil and walked out the door.
'Yeah! A win for Sakura!' Inner Sakura cheered. "Um...Lady Tsunade?"
"Yes?"
"I was wondering can I...learn something...that can be used in the battlefield?" Sakura asked. 'Please please say yes!'
"Of course it is necessery after all" Tsunade said as she and Sakura walked to the training grounds.
'Yey! Finally something useful!' Inner Sakura cheered louder.
"Alright Sakura I'll explain it focuse chakra in your hands" Tsunade explained. "And release it at the right timing"
"O-okay" Sakura said and started to focuse chakra in her hand.
"Now try it on the tree!" Tsunade shouted.
Sakura punched the tree but wasn't strong enough to even make a crack in it. "What was that?" Sakura yelled.
"Um...Sakura dear you're not going to master it in one day it takes practice..."
"Oh yes I am!" Sakura started to build more chakra in her hand. "I'm not going to give up!" and started to punch the tree but failed like last time.
'She's more determined then before but there's something different...' Tsunade thought to herself with a smile. 'She reminds me of me when I was younger...but still...' Tsunade continued to watch Sakura try then fail again and again.
"Why won't this work!" Sakura yelled even louder then before.
"Sakura you're not focusing" Tsunade couldn't help bit let out a small chuckle.
"I am!" Sakura started to get more frustranted. 'Why can't I do this?...'
"Sakura just relax a bit no rush"
Sakura took a deep breath. 'Maybe I should relax' Sakura sighed. "Just relax"
"Don't worry Sakura we'll try something else" Tsunade said. "We'll do blocking...if you manage to get one punch on me I'll teach you a new jutsu"
Sakura let out a small sigh. "Fine I'm ready" She said getting into fighting position.
"Okay I'm going to give it what I got and I hope you'll do the same" Tsunade said getting in a fighting position same as Sakura.
Sakura nodded. 'Not going to hold back'
"And...go!" Tsunade shouted and came running at Sakura with amazing speed.
'Wow she's fast I'll give her that...' Sakura saw Tsunade running at her but closed her eyes. 'I can't do this!'
Tsunade punched Sakura in the gut. "Open you eyes!" and Tsunade jumped back for a moment as Sakura fell to the ground.
'I can match up with her speed...' Sakura held her gut in pain.
"You can close your eyes to things you don't want to see but once you open your eyes it will still be there" Tsunade said in a cocky tone. "Try again but don't close your eyes"
"O-okay" Sakura stumbled to get on her feet. "Ready"
"And...go!" Tsunade came running at her again with her fist ready to strike.
'Oh kay Sakura just watch her movements' Sakura waited for Tsunade to cock her arm back.
"I got you!" Tsunade cocked her arm back and shot it right for Sakura's face but...this time Sakura blocked it. "You're doing well"
'I just need a opening' Sakura saw that Tsunade's legs were the opening that she needed. Sakura tryed sweeping her off her feet but failed from Tsunade's amazing speed.'Now where are you?' Sakura looked around.
"Up here!" Tsunade yelled about ready to use her heel drop on Sakura. "Dodge this!"
Tsunade's heel came crashing down but to her surprise Sakura didn't crash into the ground.
'B-but how?' Tsunade qestioned in her mind.
Sakura continued to hold Tsunade's heel.
"I got you now!" Sakura yelled and focused chakra in her fist.
The blue glow of chakura could now be seen around Sakura's fist and she cocked her fist back and released all her focused charkura as soon as her fist connected with Tsunade's face. The impact of the punch threw Tsunade back a few feet and on to her knees.
"You did well Sakura" Tsunade said getting up and wiped the blood off of her lip.
Sakura gave Tsunade a sweet smile in return.
"I'm proud of you" Tsunade returned the smile. "But that's all the training for today"
"B-but"
"I want you to continue to practice but don't over work your body"
"Yes mam!" Sakura said in a determined voice.
"Good I wish you luck" Tsunade said and started to walk back to Hokage Tower. "Bye Sakura"
"Bye my lady" Sakura said and started to turn her head to the trees. "Here we go"
Sakura started to punch the tree with all her might. "Never going to give up" Sakura started to build her chakra in her fist and punched the tree but ended in fail. "What's wrong with me!" Sakura screamed and balled up her fist. 'Try again!'
Sakura was started to get angry and she started to build more chakura in her but to her surprise the chakra was red. "What is this?" She whispered.
'Just try again!' Inner Sakura yelled.
Sakura had a smirk on her face. "Ok" She punched the tree. But this time the tree didn't break it...exploded with the power put into the punch. "Yes!" Sakura cheered. "Now let's do this again" Sakura smirked evilly.
After a few hours of punching trees Sakura used all of her chakra. From the lose of chakra it left Sakura panting on the ground.
"Wow what a workout" Sakura said as she looked up at the dark sky. "I should be getting home soon" Sakura tryed to move her body but failed painfully. "I used to much chakra"Sakura sighed. 'It's to painful to move'
"Need a hand?" A voice Sakura knew to well.
"S-Sasuke" Sakura said looking at her teamate.
"Do you want one or not?" Sasuke asked coming closer.
'Well this is embarrassing' Sakura thought and the look at Sasuke. "I'm fine" Sakura said and started to get up slowly but from the pain fell back down but...a pair of arms caught her before she fell to the ground.
"I'll take you home" Sasuke said and held Sakura bridel style and looked into her emerald green eyes. 'I can't beileve I'm doing this' Sasuke thought to himself as he walked into the village with Sakura in his arms.
'Yeah! Another win for Sakura Haruno!' Inner Sakura cheered very loud.
Sakura blushed as she looked at Sasuke. 'I wish this would last forever...'
Sasuke continued to walk closer to Sakura's house and looked at Sakura for a moment causing Sakura to look away blushing more.'Great she's staring at me'
'He's so cute' Sakura blushed as she looked away.
"We're here" Sasuke said as he got to Sakura's door step.
'Great' Inner Sakura mumbled. "Thank you Sasuke" Sakura thanked. "I think I can take it from here"
"Ok" Sasuke said and put Sakura on her feet.
"Bye Sasuke I-" Sakura stopped as Sasuke pecked her cheek causing Sakura to blush madly.
"Happy Birthday" Sasuke mumbled. "Bye" he said and walked off into the night.
Sakura held her cheek and started to squealed when she shut the door. "A kiss" She said as she started to dance around her house. 'I can't beileve this!' Sakura thought as she ran to her room. "I can't wait to tell Ino" Sakura smirked at the thought of Ino being jealous.
Sakura smiled as she got on her pink pajamas. From the little chakra Sakura passed out on her bed.
Sakura smiled as she drifted off to her dreams.
