Chapter 1

Life After Death


Sakura managed to open her eyes. Is it all over?

She thought about the war, Sasuke's rage, Naruto's uncontrollable Power and all her friend's deaths.

She tried to summon her remaining strength but had none left. Maybe it was meant to be like this...

A tear escaped her eye as she closed it. She heard distant footsteps, and as she drifted away to death, heard a man shout foreign words.

But if this was death, it was very strange. Sakura had expected to black out, she didn't think she would still be thinking. It hurt her head trying to think, so she slept.

Hours later, Sakura awoke feeling sore and weak. She looked around, unfamiliar with the place she was in. She raised her head, and what she saw made her extremely shocked. She had the body of a child, and long pink hair. Could I have gone back in time?

She got up and looked around the room she was in. There was a bed, a large cupboard, a drawer and a desk.

"What's going on?" she whispered, to no one. But what came out of her mouth also shocked her. Her voice was different, it was squeaky.

She walked over to a window, and as she took in her reflection, looked outside. From what she saw, she could tell she was in a double story house, there were cars a road, more houses and a small park.

She took a deep breath as she sat on her bed and tried to figure out what had happened.

I died... Wait, did I? If this was death, it's not what I thought it would be like, maybe it's a dream. A very, unusual dream.

Sakura pinched herself very hard and whimpered. It hurt. So, I'm not in a dream. But it isn't death either.

At that moment, a woman walked in. Sakura jumped and prepared to attack/defend herself. She noticed she had gotten more slow and the woman just smiled.

"Are you okay Siera? It sounded like you hurt yourself-again- are you still practising your fighting?" Asked the woman.

"Who are you?" asked Sakura. "and why did you call me that?"

The woman frowned. "Darling, I really think you should have a rest, you're always training." said The woman.

"What the hell are you going on about? and you still haven't told me who you are!" shouted Sakura. She was so confused it was shocking her.

"Darling?" said the woman, shocked. She looked in Sakura's green eyes, "Are you felling well? Did you hit your head? I'm your mother Tara Wething, remember?"

Sakura didn't answer, anger and confusesment still showing on her face.

"Honey! come in here, something's happened!" shrieked the woman. Something wasn't wrong with her daughter and it could possibly be life threatening.

Sakura was bewildered. No, seriously. Where the hell am I? and what am I doing here? And what the hell if this lady going on about?!

A man entered, smiling. He looked at his wife's face and his "daughter"'s face and frowned.

"Yes Tara?" he asked.

"Derreck honey, I think Sierra has amnesia.." she said quietly.

Derreck's eyes widened. "What?" he asked. "I'm a nurse, I can tell the symptoms." she told her husband.

"I know you are, should we take her to the hospital?" he asked.

"Yes, but be gentle, she might get scared, she might have...forgotten us." said Tara sadly, tears brimming her eyes.

"What the hell is going on! get away from me, tell me who you are!" Sakura shouted.

"Darling, it's me your father, Derreck." he said trying to smile.

Don't even lie! My parents are dead!" Sakura said.

Derreck and Tara looked at each other. What could've brought their daughter to think this?

"no darling, look. We'll take you to the hospital, and doctors will try to restore your memory, we promise we won't hurt you." said Derreck.

Sakura looked at the two adults, they both had tears brimming their eyes, and they had looks of genuine shock and sadness. Could they be telling the truth? I might find answers if I go with them..

"Fine. I'll come with you's to the hospital. But I want answers when we get back." she said.

Derreck and Tara remained silent but nodded.

At the Hospital, Sakura sat on one of the beds and waited. Would she still be able to use her nin-jutsu, genjutsu? Would she still have everything Tsunade taught her? And what happend to Naruto and Sasuke? Could they be near her? Could something similar have happened to them too?

She snapped out of her thoughts when the door shut open and then closed. A woman walked in, Sakura could sense some weird chakra in her. Could this lady be a ninja, but if she was, why was her chakra so weak and different.

"Are you a ninja?" asked Sakura, bluntly.

The woman blinked. "What?" she asked.

"I can sense a different type of chakra coming from you." she said again, like this was the most obvious thing.

The woman stared. She got something from her pocket. A stick, a nice one though. And raised it to her Sakura.

"What are you doing? You'd better not try to hurt me or I'll perform some Ninjutsu on you!" she shouted.

"Legilimency!" shouted the woman. Sakura tried to move, but too late. She felt weird, as if someone was looking through her memories and thoughts.

I don't want you to see my memories, their painful.

She tried to push the intruder out of her head, and surprisingly, succeeded.

The woman, was sent flying across the room.

"How dare you look at my thoughts! I think you should have a taste of my Genjutsu!" . Sakura moved her hands in a type of way and the room changed, they were in a forest. The woman was tied up. She tried to escape, then a snake slithere towards her. The woman screamed.

"No! no! Please!" shouted the woman.

Sakura stopped it.

"Don't ever do that again." growled Sakura.

The woman nodded furiously.

"J-just wait here... I-i'll bring s-someone more professional.." the woman trembled.

"That would be good thank you." said Sakura, happily sitting back down.

Moments later the woman stood at the door with a man. He had a white beard, he wore a cloak, had half moon spectacles, and twinkling eyes.

The man got out a stick also, but pointed it at the closed door. The door locked.

"Hello, Haruno Sakura." he smiled warmly, sitting at the end of her bed.

"Your voice... It's familiar. And how do you know who I am? No one seems to." said Sakura.

"That is a story for another time, my dear. I have both good and bad news, but first allow me to introduce myself. My name is Albus Dumbledore. I am a wizard." he said.

Sakura's eyes widened. "The bad news first please." she said.

"You are unfamiliar with where you are, am I right? Well, I guess I should tell you now. Alright, I was there when everyone was dying, dead weak. What I mean is, Madara was killed, finally. By none other than Naruto and Sasuke. But they too were at the state of dying like you. I just finished explaining to both of them too. I arrived there just in time, as a wizard, and was able to save everyone. They would have been saved already. But I just helped, now you are all close by, instead of around the world."

"So what you're saying so far, is that you were the one that said those foreign words?" asked Sakura.

"Yes. If I hadn't been there, Ino could have gone to Australia, Shikamaru to America, Naruto to Canada. You never know, but thank goodness I did get there, as you have been reincarnated." he said.

"Reincarnated?" Sakura asked, shocked. "Wait, shouldn't I be a baby then? why am I..."

"turning 11, dear."

"Yeah, why am I 11?" she asked.

Dumbledore smiled. "For everyone, Time chooses to pass to a certain age,where they are most needed. Time has chosen 11 for mostly all of you. However you sensei is 21 and currently working at a school."

"K-kakashi sensei!?" Said Sakura. "W-wait how do you know all of this?" asked Sakura.

"You're the first one to ask me that. And finally too, Think Sakura, once some one dies, they are reincarnated, very few have memories of their past lives though, that's one of the things I added, so you still have memories of your past. I had two lives, but once I died in the Ninja world, my soul travelled, to my second life." said Dumbledore.

"You were a ninja? Did I know you?" Asked Sakura.

"Yes you did, I was very popular, in fact I was even known by the Kage's." He said.

"Even the Hokage?" Asked Sakura.

"Actually, I knew the Hokage more than he knew himself." said Dumbledore.

"Hm... Let me think, let me think.. Oh! I know-!" Sakura gasped. "H-hokage sama?"

"Yes Sakura, I am the reincarnated Hokage of the leaf village."
