This is my spin on how Sakura could be. I hope it makes since to you if it don't I'll be more than happy to tell you in the next chapter.

My name is Sakura Haruno. Right now I am fifteen, and have been on Team 7 for 2 years. All my life, since the day I was born, I have been blind. But not completely blind. You see wither I will it or not, my chakra allows me to see, but not like everyone else. I can tell you how many birds are flying over head or how many enemy ninja are surrounding us on a mission, where every little creature in forest is. What I can't tell you is what the faces of my team mates look like, what the color of the sky and grass are, what happens on the screen at a movie theater. But what I lack in sight I make up with skill. I have already passed the jounin (curse my spelling) test and I have been hounded to join ANBU. I asked the hokage if it would be alright if I could be like other children my age and be on a team. I was so happy when he said yes.

In the 2 years that I have been a part of Team 7, my teammates haven't realized that I'm blind. They can't see past the sunglasses I wear every day. I must admit that at first, I thought I would have been caught in the very beginning, what with the team leader be none other than Kakashi Hatake; but, he as blind as they are. I also must admit that I am happy that they don't know. I fear that if they were to find out they would a) treat me like I was some fragile little girl or b) not want me on the team because I was different. If they were to find out, I hope that they would accept me, but I know better. People like them could never accept me.

I guess I've skipped too far ahead. I guess it would only be right to start at the beginning, the very beginning.

I was born 3 months too early. My mom died in birth, my father had already been dead 5 months before I was born. I was given a week to live. The doctors had little faith I would survive. It was all thanks to a nurse named Akria. She took care of me and never gave up. My death date had been moved to a month. Akria still didn't give up hope. When the month had passed, the doctors gave me until I was three to die. Akria wouldn't hear of it. She was truly was an amazing woman. After all these years I can still remember her smell, lilac, and her voice, so soft and gentle. When I turned five, Akria was taken from me. She went on a mission to assinante (again curse my spelling) some big chief. She didn't return. When I found out all I could do was weep, the only person who ever gave me a chance, the only person I ever loved or loved me back, was gone. I had lost my will to survive. And now to think that I am still alive today because of something the hokage had said. "She died to save this village, to save you, if you allow yourself to waste away; her death will have been in vain." I knew there was a second reason why the old man wanted me to live, my abilities, but his words I took to heart. The only person I had to live for may have been gone, but I still lived only for her. From then on I was alone. All I could do was train day in and day out. Nothing would stop me from becoming stronger. Even though I could not see, I knew what I had to do. I had to make Akria proud. I immediately passed straight through the academy, then the chunin exams not to long after. When I turned seven I tried out for the jounin exam, I passed with ease. When I was ten, I was doing successful mission after successful mission. The ANBU sent out some scouts to try and get me to join, I turned them down. I said I was doing fine all on my own and I didn't need the ANBU. That didn't stop them, they still kept coming. Over the last few years I began to take notice of all the other children my age. I could hear how much fun they were having, and I grew envy of them. By the time I turned thirteen, I went to the hokage and asked if I could blend in with children my age, try to be something other than a tool. I was ecstatic that he had said yes.

a/n hope you like it I know years are probably off and spelling sucks and punctuation sucks but I tried. Please review, in the next chapter is when she meets the others.
