It was a peaceful day at Konoha. The sky was blue, the birds were chirping, and things were running smoothly. Sakura was walking down the streets of Konoha, looking for Naruto. She and the rest of the team finished a mission not too long ago, of course Sakura was all bruised up, but strong enough to walk.

She saw Naruto slerping ramen loudly on the same ramen stand when he was still genin. Sakura smiled and called to him. "Hi Naruto!" she called as she ran to him, getting a seat next to him. Naruto looked up and gave a very foxy grin. "Hello Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as he finished, yet another bowl of ramen.

Sometimes she wondered how Naruto pays for all the ramen, but it's not like it's her buisness anyway. Sakura saw the ramen chef and smiled warmly at him, beginning her order. "Beef ramen please, hold the hot sauce." she orderd and smiled. The chef smiled too. "Right away Sakura-chan." The chef complied and got to work.

There was a long moment of silence while Sakura patiently waited for her ramen. The silence started to bother her, so she decieded to start a conversation. "How are you Naruto?" Sakura asked as she got the bowl of ramen from the chef. "GREAT! I feel better than yesterday!" Naruto said as he punched a fit in the air,

but than yelled in pain. Sakura soon had a worried expression. "Naruto! Be careful! just because I healed you doesnt mean you can move your arm too much." Sakura cried worriedly. Naruto pouted as if a little kid had been punished. "So Sakura? how are you feeling?" Naruto asked suddenly.

Sakura looked at him and smiled. "Much better, I still have a couple of bruises, but no big deal." Sakura said flashing a smile.

After they finished their ramen, Sakura said a quick goodbye to Naruto and headed to the Hokage office. Naruto frowned at how quick it was. She works way too hard ... Naruto thought as he continued eating his 5th ramen bowl. Sakura made it to the Hokage office, and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Tsunade said lazily. Sakura entered the room and bowed. "Tsunade-sama, did you call me?" Sakura asked. The Hokage nodded. She pulled out a file holding a picture of a girl in it. "You remember Danzo, right?" Tsunade said while sipping some sake. Sakura nodded. Tsunade put down her sake suddenly looking serious.

"He's bringing a new teamate for team 7" Tsunade said plainly.

Sakura's eyes widen and then had a face of pure confusion. "Whaaaaat!" Sakura screamed so loudly almost half the village could hear her. Tsunade sighed and began to explain. "This ninja is known to have sucssesfully complete 64 missions in her lifetime, she was chosen to be a konoha nin due to her excelent skill, speed, and flawlessness. There was a meeting involing the whole idea and we all agreed to have this girl to be given a chance to prove her worth as a chunin. If she becomes a chunin, she can be a root ninja again." Tsunade explained. Sakura's mouth literally hit the floor. "BUT TSUNADE-SAMA! Thats so unfair! So does that mean this ninja doesnt have to take the chunin exams to become chunin?" Sakura cried. Tsunade sent a death glare to Sakura. "This ninja is so amazing, she might be as strong as danzo himself." Sakura was not believing this. This has to be a joke! No one is THAT strong! Sakura thought wide eyed.

"This ninja isnt here yet, she wil be here tomorrow this afternoon. NOW SCAT!" Tsunade ordered. Sakura nodded and left for the hospital.


Sakura P.O.V

I walked to the hospital still thinking about the new ninja. I couldnt help but wonder who this new ninja is. I never really thought someone would be as strong as Danzo. I was shocked to say the very least, or in a way, surprised. I walked inside the hospital and sighed loudly. I walked to my next shift, hoping the person I had to heal wasnt a big deal. It was bad enough we were having a new teamate! I mean, Isnt Sai enough to deal with? I wanted to punch something to get things out of my mind, I guess training will have to do it later.

The day flew by like a bird. When I started heading home, I saw a blur of yellow and purple running towards me. "Forehead girl!" My blonde best freind cried as she hugged me tightly. I was danglling like a doll. "Ino! Cant BREATHE!" I cried breathlessly. Ino finally let go and got out a boquet of flowers out of nowhere and shoved them to me.

"A little welcome home present! It's been, what? TWO MONTHS?" Ino asked and gave the flowers to me.

I laughed and smiled warmly. "A month and twenty nine days to be excact." I corrected. Ino gave me the "Yeah, whatever" look. "Hey! By the way! I heard your having a new member of team seven am I correct?I hope he's cute!" Ino asked with sprakle eyes. I wanted to laugh, but something told me to be serious when it came to this new teamate.

"Yes, she is coming tomorrow so she can be in our team so SHE can become a chunin." I emphasized the word SHE so she could get my point. Ino frowned finding out it was a girl not a boy. "Dangit! I was really sure it was a boy!" Ino pouted.

Ino sighed and flashed a smile at me. "Oh well! See you later forehead girl!" Ino said as she ran. I smiled and decided to play along. "Bye Ino-pig!" I said from a distance. I decided to head home as soon as I made a quick stop to the one place I felt I needed to go to. I walked to the very place the Uchiha clan had been massacred. The Uchiha manner.

I'm not sure why I chose to come to this tragic place. It just brought back painful memories, so why did I come here? I looked at the abandoned buildings of the Uchiha clan. I felt horrible for Sasuke now. I could almost feel the pain he felt when his family was killed by his own brother. It must feel like crap.

I walked to the abandoned streets of the Uchiha manner. I sighed yet again and entered one of the houses. I looked around; it looked so lonely in here. The house was completely abandoned. I walked around the house feeling gloomy due to the fact the Uchiha manner was just so ... depressing.

When I reached an unfamiliar room, something glinted in the lonely darkness. I went towards whatever it was and found something I wasnt expecting. Some type of pendent layed on the floor. I couldnt quite describe it since it was dark in the room, but from the looks of it, it looked like it had a gold chain and

the pendant was a yellow see through crystal, but thats all what I could make out at the time. Not knowing if I should leave it or not, I put it inside my ninja bag. I headed home and went to my room. I hesitantly got the pendent out and starred at it. I was partly right about it.

Gold chain, yellow crystal, what I didnt make out was what was inside the crystal. It looked like a figure of some kind of bird? It looked faded so I couldnt tell the detail.

I put it on my nightstand and it was lights out.


I woke up the next morning, and got out of my bed feeling rested. I couldnt help but wonder who this girl looks like. I headed to hospital with the pendent still in my pocket. I didnt know why I brought it with me, but I figured Tsunade could learn more about it. I finally reached the hospital right on time. When I went inside I was very surprised at what the place looked like.

It looked like an unorganized jungle! Papers were everywhere, medicine was spilled, and people were acting like maniacs! "What in the name of Kami-sama is going on here?" I cried. A nurse answered my question. "Sakura-san! It's horrible! Ever sense the secretary quit, everyone's been panicking! And thats not even the least of our problems! Our nurses have been kidnapped but who knows who took them! 5 of our top nurses along with assistants were kidnapped last night! It's a nightmare!" the nurse panicked. I was on the verge to panicking too. THE SECRETARY QUIT?" I asked surprised. The nurse nodded simply and cried anime tears. No wonder these guys were having trouble.

"Did you tell Tsunade-sama?" I asked the nurse. The brown haired nurse nodded. "We told Tsunade-sama, she's already investigating." The nurse said. I nodded and got to work.

Soon things were organized again, but I had to work five times as hard as I normally do. While I was healling a sick patient, a obnoxious voice rang my ears. "SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled. "Tsunade wants to see us!" Naruto said. I nodded my head and followed him.

I assumed to myself that it had to involve the new ninja, but I really, really hoped it wasnt about that. Truthfully, I didnt want another teamate! It's bad enough Sai constantly calls me Ugly. Naruto must of caught my expression and started looking concerned. "Sakura? Are you alright?" Naruto asked a face of worriness plastered on his features.

I faked a smile. "Of course Naruto!" I said, my acting skills failing me. Naruto frowned. "Why do you lie so much? It's not like we're strangers or anything," Naruto pointed out. Damnit I hate it when he has a good point! I didnt say anything else so I continued on.

We knocked the door to Tsunade's office. "It's open!" Tsunade yelled from inside. We opened it; Sai was already in there looking as plain as ever.I decided I spoke first. "Tsunade-sama, you called us?" I asked. Tsunade looked up from writing a form. "I want you to meet your new teamate. Sarah! get in here." Tsunade called from outside the door.

When the ninja finally got in, I was surprised at what she looked like. She looked like she couldnt hurt a fly! IF THATS POSSIBLE! She was wearing a short, green, strap dress with a white trim along with a brown ninja tool belt. She had golden blonde hair that looked flatened straight, wearing it down but with a ponytail on the side oh her head. Not too add more detail, but she looked like her eyes were blue? Wait no! Green, WAIT maybe yellow? I couldnt tell! ANYWAYS! She also had brown ninja sandles.

She was smilling kindly too, a trait I highly found unlikely to a person who completed 64 of the most dangerous missions in her life. I took a quick peek at Naruto who had heart eyes and was blushing like he would with me when I was still his crush!

Naruto's had a crush on me for 5 years! Thats just weird... "She will be in team seven from now until, um, whenever she does her mission. Now Sarah, will you please come in here and tell us if Danzo had any other missions for you?" Tsunade asked suspiciously. The girl called "Sarah" spoke. "N-no ma'am- WOAH, IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?" Sarah suddenly exclaimed.

Sarah ran to the window and pointed at a buildboard. "Are those things called "Bildboards?" I NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE! EEEEEP!" This girl doesnt get out much ... I sweatdropped and Sai did too. Sarah flashed a smile and then turned to Sai. "SAI-SAN!" The girl cried and hugged Sai so tightly I could literally hear the bones crack.

Sai had a look of annoyance, confusion, and shockery? "Missed you too..!" Sai breathed sarcastically with a very annoyed expression. I wasnt surprised ... she must of known him from when they were still in root. "WAIT? YOU KNOW HER?" Naruto asked Sai. Sarah let go of Sai and then he held a fake emotion of arrogance. "How could I not? We've only been BEST FRIENDS forever right Sarah?" Sai asked flashing a very fake smile. Sarah looked dumbfounded. Sense when did Sai give emotions a chance? thought Sarah. "Uh ... YEAH!" Sarah said, trying her best to keep her previous personallity.

Naruto looked like he was going to burst into flames. Sai must of known Naruto had that "Love at first sight look" on him. Naruto may be a great ninja, but I swear, he's so idiotic that he cant even tell Hinata has a crush on him! The way she blushes is ten fold! I wanted to laugh at the way Naruto was fuming. Suddenly a loud crash was on the desk.

"DONT IGNORE ME!" Tsunade screamed scarily.

Me, Sarah, and Naruto looked terrified and we all appoligized. "WE'RE SORRY! DONT HURT US!" We all said bowing repeatedly, minus Sai.

Tsunade calmed down and sat back down. "Well, Sakura, Naruto, and Sai. I want you to show Sarah around for the rest of the day." Tsunade ordered. I didnt mind at all, maybe Sarah wont be as annoying, plus, it feels good to actually have a girl in the team! We all complied and left the office.
