It was a stormy night in the village of Ame. It wasn't anything new, it would always rain in Ame, but tonight was the worst. Everyone was inside not daring to go outside until morning. But there was a group of people who travelled by rooftops through the storm, they were silent and no-one knew that a group of people were travelling across their rooftops. If anyone was out in the storm and watched as the group travelled across the rooves, they would notice that each member of the group wore a black cloak with red clouds and they also wore straw hats to hide their identity from the world. This group was well known throughout the Elemental Nation, there were only 10 members, but they were strong and feared for their abilities. Now you may be wondering what this group is called and where they had travelled from. Well, this group of people had come from a new village whose Kage was originally from Konoha. The leader of this group had gathered all 10 members and they had set out to meet the new Kage. But that's for another time. For now, I do believe you want to know the name of this group right? Their name is 'Akatsuki'. Now in Japanese 'Akatsuki' means 'Red Dawn', why they chose this name you may wonder. That would be a story for another time. This story is about the forgotten, the hurt and the betrayed shinobi who became a legend, this story is about how this one girl built a village from destruction. Will you join her as she is betrayed, discovers true friends and even finds a lover? I bet your wondering 'who is this girl?' well let's see if you can guess, I'll give you a few hints. She has bubblegum pink hair, her eyes are Jade in colour that shone with determination to succeed. To top it off on her forehead was a purple diamond, much like a certain slug princess/ fifth Hokage of Konoha. If you haven't already guessed at who she is, then why don't I tell you? Her name is Sakura Haruno. This is her story. Will you join her in her adventures? Will you listen to her story?
