Hi peoples! This is the first chapter of my first chapter story. Enjoy! Oh, and if you see any mistakes that I might have missed(although I think I did a pretty thorough job), please message me! Thanks D
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. It's a good thing, too. All I can say is if I did, Sakura would have been way stronger to begin with!
Lightning, Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire
Ch.1 - The Start of It All
"Oh, my gosh! What was that? Did I really...?" Haruno Sakura was rolling around on her living room floor and she was actually doing this for a good reason, too; she was trying to decide if she was going insane. You see, a few minutes ago, while Sakura was doing her usual morning training before her shift at the hospital, she went to punch the ground, when instead, the ground rose up and wrapped around her like a loose cocoon. Almost like it was trying to protect her or something. When it subsided, she saw two shuriken on the ground behind her.
Flashback
Sakura looked around for the attacker, and saw Naruto standing there, gaping. Oh yes, she was training with Naruto. "Hag! How did you do that?"...And Sai.
"I really have no idea. You know, I think I should go home." Sakura told them, rather stunned.
"But, what was that?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not sure. Genjutsu?" She guessed.
"I really don't think-" Naruto started, but then he noticed Sakura had already left.
End Flashback
So, here she was trying to figure out exactly what happened. She knew that she had no special abilities... at least she thought so. "I'll just ask Shishou." Sakura figured that Tsunade must know, being Hokage and all.
"Oh, no! My shift at the hospital is about to start! Shishou is going to be so mad with me." With that, Sakura took off running, out her door with her jacket, racing to be on time.
-With Tsunade-
"Ugh." That one sound proved to Shizune that their dear hokage was once again hung over.
"I told you that drinking that much at the bar would give you a terrible hang over!" Shizune scolded.
"I know, I know. Hand me that aspirin, will you?" Shizune handed Tsunade the container along with some more water and tsked. 'How on earth did she land this job?' While Shizune was pondering that, a knock came from the door.
"Come in." Groaned Tsunade and in walked Sakura.
"Ohayo, Shishou." Sakura greeted her teacher. "I had something I wanted to talk to you about before I got to work."
"Go on." Tsunade urged. Sakura didn't normally just go up to her and put things before her shifts. It had to be important if she was doing this now.
She then took a deep breath. "Well you see, this morning during my training, Naruto did a surprise attack on me just as I was bending to punch the ground. Just before the shurikens hit, a wall of earth went up around me and stopped the attack. I was never able to do this before and I was wondering if you knew what it was that caused it."
"That is strange and it most certainly didn't do that while we trained before. Do you control the earth element? That would definitely explain the earth coming up."
Sakura paused. "I've never been tested to see which was my element. I might, but I have no clue."
"Well then. Let's test you right now, shall we?" Tsunade asked, taking out her element cards. Sakura nodded and took the card. "If it splits in half, you control wind. If it crumples, lightning, if it burns, then you're fire natured, gets wet, water natured, and if you are earth, it'll turn to dust."
"Cool!" Sakura exclaimed. "Naruto told me about this, and he said it split in half."
"Yes, now let's see." Tsunade said, handing Sakura a single sheet.
Sakura channeled her chakra into it, expecting it right away, like it had done for Naruto. For a second, there was nothing, then all of a sudden, it crumpled. 'Lightning?' Just as they thought it was done, it split in half. "Woah! I have two elements?!"
"Stra-" Tsunade started, but then stopped abrubtly when it started to burn. 'Three elements? No way!' Then the fire went out suddenly, and they soon knew why; it had puddles of water on it. Just as Sakura was putting it down, it turned into little peices. Earth.
Tsunade stared at her apprentice. Then she gasped and called for Shizune. "Shizune! I think IT's happening!"
"What's IT?" Shizune and Sakura asked in unison.
Tsunade was still breathing very hard and said in an ecstatic voice, "The Female Prophecy"
Shizune gasped as well then broke out into a huge grin. "Is Sakura one of-"
Tsunade, smiling brightly, nodded. "Yep!"
"One of what?" Sakura asked, now starting to get agitated. A lot of questions rushed through her head. 'Is this a good thing?', 'One of-? That means there's more but who?' , 'Female Prophecy? Just females? What is it?' and then the most exhilerating, 'I control FIVE elements?!'
"Sakura. You head home. You can skip your shift, Ino was asking for more anyway. I'll tell you everything after I talk to the council, ok?" Sakura reluctantly nodded. She wanted to know right now!
After Sakura left, Tsunade and Shizune talked about the current situation with this 'Prophecy' and agreed to call a meeting with the council.
-Meanwhile-
Hinata ran through the forest, hurrying to her one of her closest friend's places. It really didn't matter which as long as it was TenTen, Ino, or Sakura.
The four had become close as of late, and had been spending alot of their time together, whether it was practicing and training or just girl talk and sleepovers. Even if they were ninjas, they were still girls, which meant some of their time was a slightly devoted to just that.
Hinata raced past the guards at the gate, but they knew it was her, so they didn't bother asking her to stop. She flew through the village and stopped rather quickly, right in front of Sakura's place. She knocked at the door and heard the shuffling of feet. Then the door swung open, revealing an exhausted looking Sakura. The moment Sakura saw Hinata, a huge grin spread across her features and she pulled her inside.
"Omigosh! I have to tell you something! I'm so glad you stopped by."
Hinata, who was now thoroughly confused, nodded, silently urging her to go on.
Sakura told her of the mornings events and Hinata gaped and gasped through out the whole thing, quietly, of course. "I can't believe you have five elements, Sakura!"
"I know right? How many do you have and which ones are they?" Sakura asked, obviously hyper.
Hinata paused for a moment. "I'm not sure. I've never been tested..."
"Well, come on! There's something about a female prophecy, and there is supposed to be more! Maybe you're one. We have to go check, ok? And stop by Ino's. TenTen's, too? Ooooh! This is so exciting, Hina-chan."
Hinata could only nod and smile at Sakura as she was pulled out the door and through the streets, straight to the Yamanaka Flower Shop.
"Ino-pig! You here?" Sakura called out as she and Hinata stepped through the door.
"Yea, yea, Forehead-girl. I'm right here. What's up?" Ino asked as she stood and stepped out from behind the counter.
Sakura quickly told her everything and Hinata pitched in when she missed something. Ino was hyper, too, at the thought of having all that control, and so they fetched TenTen.
Repeating the story once more, all four went to the hokage's office.
"Sakura? I thought I sent you home for a rest." Tsunade nodded in welcome to the others then faced Sakura.
"Yea, I know Tsunade-shishou, but I wanted to test these three. You did say something about there being more." explained Sakura.
"Well, it couldn't hurt, I guess. Step up girls."
The three stepped up and took a card each. Everyone's eyes widened as they watched the results.
Done Ch.1!!! YAY! Anyway, since I'm already practically done the second ch, it'll be out quickly. Review please, I want to know what you think of my first attempt at a story with more than one chapter:D
