/So this is my new story, I am sorry for all the spelling mistakes in the story. Anyway, I don't own Naruto, only the OC's in the story.
Well, I hope you enjoy it./
Prologue
You may have heard of me, you may not. I often prefer to stay in the shadow rather than the spotlight, but lately many people know me because of my dear pink hair. Anyway, my name is Sakura Haruno and this is my story and my road to greatness. So, for you to understand what I was before, we better go back to the academy days.
I was a know it all, book-smart girl and of course a big-time fangirl of Sasuke Uchiha, just like most girls in my class, but I was also a girl without a clan. I only cared about my looks, I didn't even care about my friends. I was useless and weak and had nothing to back me up except for my intelligence. We can jump forward to the day we graded (yes, I made it) and got sorted into our genin teams.
I was sorted into team 7 with Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, and this was my happiest day. After all, I was on the same team as my biggest crush, my true love (Still, can't believe I was so blind). Just thinking about it makes me shiver with annoyance. Of course, thinking back I know I never had a chance on Sasuke, he was to lost in himself and his revenge.
We all sat on the roof with our new teacher Kakashi-sensei introducing our self. I was giving Sasuke small looks here and there, full of love and pity. As for Naruto, well I either ignored him or gave him hateful looks just like everyone else.
That day was the start of everything. That day was the start on a rocky road towards the realization of how dumb I was, childish even, but I was just a kid. We never knew how dark the world really was and my naivety was the downfall of my old self and the birth of something new.
From that day and forward everything went in a kind of fast modus, but I know I was being a real pain in the ass and a bother to everyone on my team. I was the one how should be smart and all, but truth be told I was as stupid as I could be. I am sure even Ino was more of a help to her team than I ever was back then.
Luckily for me, I realized this bit by bit, but it all came to me after the mission to Waves. Even if it turned out to be a B-mission or was it A-ranked? Anyway, I was saved by both Naruto and Sasuke to many times to count on both my hands. This constant saving from my teammates made me realize the truth. I was useless to them, the only thing I had was my chakra control and all I could do with that was to walk on trees. Such a useful thing, right?
Slowly I started to see my mistakes, but you don't change overnight. It didn't take long after that for my eyes to open and see the world. When I first got them up I finally realized everything at once, like a big wave crashing on me. That night I cried myself to sleep of course, and the next days went in a blur again. I didn't really do anything, I was as usually just looming around and feeling sorry for myself.
But when Kakashi-sensei told us that we were to take the chūnin exam. At the very moment I heard it I felt like nothing, like a hinder for my teammates, but the lingering look I got from our sensei woke something else in me. It started the fire, my will of fire. And thus began my journey.
