Tenshi Hane Kunoichi (AKA Angel Winged Kunoichi)

This is a Naruto fan fic. FAN FIC (I don't own Naruto.) I have been playing it in my head several times and I decided to finally put it down and submitted to the internet. I decided to go Sakura x Kakashi as the main base characters because I love the pairing. There is also others but I'll leave that to the future wrighting. There will other characters I've added myself to the story so I hope you will enjoy it.

P.S. I DON'T OWN NARUTO!!!

CHAPTER 1: The Mission

It all started two years ago weeks after Naruto and Sasuke returned with the rest of team seven, including Sai and Yamato, and Uchiha's group. Despite the Sakura's and Karin's best work and after taking care of everyone else Naruto and Sasuke still looked like bandage mummies with a few bruises and scratches here and there one whatever non-bandaged skin was left. They were all smiling when entering Konoha but Naruto smiled brightess. Sakura was glad that Sasuke was finally back but something was bothering her. Would things be the same between the Uchiha and her?

She didn't have much time to think about it though, after all, she had to help the boys recover and get things ready for the reunion party. This didn't give her much time to talk to Sasuke alone and every time when they had the chance someone always appear on them in the last minute. The weird thing was it was Kakashi a good portion at the time but what made it weird is he kept following her around. She figured he was just acting as 'big brother' and didn't want her to get hurt later on but she didn't think too much of about it at the time.

"Sakura?" Sasuke awoke seeing the pink hair nurse checking on his vital signs. Naruto was sleeping in the bed next to him (being childish he wanted to stay in the same room as Sasuke, in fear that this was nothing but a dream and he would wake up alone). Naruto, like Sasuke, is healing pretty well.

It was early that morning as the pink haired nurse smiled at him, "Looks like you two would be able to check out today, just in time for the party too." The Uchiha gave her a side smile. "Sasuke," she said, "I was meaning to ask you," Sakura wasn't taking any chances; she was going to ask him straight at this moment.

But she was cut off by none other but the sneaky copy ninja, 'how long was he there,' she thought as she found him leaning against the door frame peeking over his favorite orange book.

"Sakura, the Hokaga wishes to speak with you right away," he said cutting her off while bring hers and Sasuke's attention towards him.

"Sure, I'm almost done here, so I'll be at her office in several minutes," she said while checking on Naruto.

"She said she wants to see you now," he said book in his weapons pouch, arms folded, "it's serious."

The kunoichi then quickly left the room as Sasuke glared at Kakashi with one raised eye brow while Kakashi responded back with a crinkle from his visible closed eye. Seconds later, after leaving the room, Sakura heard Naruto shouting, "Kakashi," as a morning greeting.

After closing the door to the Hokaga's office behind her, Sakura finds her sensei carefully reading two scrolls on her desk. One of the scrolls had bits and traces of sand on it, Sakura could only guess where that scroll was from but the other looked clean except the penmanship looked fancy as though it was written with a quill. All the other neglected paper work was pushed to the sides of the desk. Tsunade looked up to find her pink haired student walking to the desk to sit in the chair in from of it.

"Sakura, do you remember Gaara's brother," she asked raising a brow.

"Yes, of course, Kankoru the puppet master, what about him." She eyed her sensei curiously also raising a brow.

"Well, you two are going to work together on a long-term mission," Tsunade said with her hands held together in a serious tone. "We have been receiving some reports of someone trying to get help from both Sand and our village," she paused to slide the fancy written scroll that held the message requesting for help to Sakura. "Apparently, as this person claims not to be in any shinobi village, this so called mercenary wishes for us to send help with promise of information from Sound."

"Sound," Sakura gasped confused, "I thought they've died out when Orochimaru was killed."

"You can blame Kabuto for that," Tsunade explained with a sigh, "there is a base hidden between Sand and Fire country." "This mercenary claims a billage nearby has fallen victim to their raids for supplies and requested for a skilled medic-nin and a skilled trapper-nin for back up," Tsunade had a worried look on her face. "Normally I would suspect this to be a trap but I was convinced otherwise," her eyes shifted at the bird quietly sitting at the window seal then looked back at Sakura.

"I understand your concern Sensei but why take the chance," Sakura said then heard a chirp in response saying, "because my 'friend' has also given the Hokaga information that she cannot ignore, along along with some evidence."

It was the bird sitting on the window seal watching the two kunoichi curiously. The bird looked fairly bid for its size, for being a hawk, with traditional darker colored yet healthy shined looking feathers. It was wearing a vest with a symbol of wings on the back of it and goggles on sitting on his head. The bird moved a wing against its chest and bowed slightly, "I am Nami, and I will be guiding you to Tsubasa, my partner."

Sakura looked astonished at the bird and back to Tsunade.

"You are to leave tomorrow, pack the essentials because you may be on this mission for quite a long time," as she said the Tusnade was righting something down. She then handed it to Sakura saying, "Before you leave I want you to go to this shop," her hands wear holding each other again, "our new friend suggested that you wear a mask while working together."Sakura sat up and bowed to the Hokaga and made her way to the door. As she did this the bird, named Nami, followed her in pursuit.
