Enjoy!
I don't own Naruto, only the plot!
Prologue - No Chance?
With the remaining strength I forced my eyes to open, only to face the clear blue sky.
Blue, the same blue as Naruto's eyes.
The blue I never will be able to see again.
I was lying on the battlefield, surrounded by my death comrades and couldn't move at all.
Unable to heal my own wounds, blood was spreading on the ground and soaking my cloths red.
Red. The same red as Sasuke's sharingan.
The red I never will be able to see again.
Neither will I see the perverted Kakashi with his beloved orange book nor Sai who wouldn't stop to call me ugly.
Losing my strength I closed my eyes.
Green eyes that had witnessed the death of the precious people.
The revival of the four Hokage's and the reunited Team 7, Team 8 and Team 10 were the few last remaining shinobis fighting against Madara and the juubi. We were the hope for all civilians to end the war and bring peace in the time of despair, but we failed.
The enemy was too strong and we were too weak.
It was an unexpected powerful attack, strong and fast, nobody could predicted that the juubi was able to use such destructive strength. That twisted our plan, we immediately tried to withstand that attack, but even with the predecessors help, it wasn't possible to hold back the enemy's force. Within a second the battlefield got completely destroyed, not many survived and even if they did, they did not last long.
I was one of them, Sakura Haruno, the medic-nin who was supposed to heal the wounded, but couldn't even save one single life. During that attack I instinctively protected Naruto and Sasuke but wasn't able to protect myself. I didn't remember clearly, but they were in such a rage that both attacked like uncontrollable beast, due to that Madara just eliminated them without much effort .
Ironically the time Team 7 reunited didn't even last a day.
In the despair, the agony of the destruction, the sight of the fallen ... All attempts were in vain.
We lost.
Since the war was over, there was no hope to stop Madara's plan.
Rather hope, what we really need was a chance to change the fate. With such a possibility it would had been able to save so many lives. It was so silly...
Tap.. tap..
That sound ... I tried to sharpen my sense.
Tap.. Tap.. Tap..
Someone was coming.
...
...
...
Tap.. tap.. tap.. tap..
I took out my kunai waiting for the person to enter the room so I could approach him, he swung the door open, but using too much strength, causing the door to slam against the wall. There can only be one person in whole Konoha who had such a careless behaviour.
"Sakura! Ramen - Ichiraku - now?"
Now that I know that it was Naruto, I still threw the kunai.
"Baka Naruto, this is Tsunade's private library, you're not allowed to trespass. Anyway I need to study this scroll, if you patience enough I will join you later."
While I was speaking, I sat down, Naruto had easily caught the kunai and put it on the table just next to the scroll I mentioned.
"What scroll is that? I can't read it..."
"Isn't it interesting, in all the time I was in this library that scroll was just lying between the basic learning ninjustu scrolls. If I hadn't stumble upon it, I would never have found it."
"And what is it?"
Now he was jumping around like a little kid who expected to receive sweets.
"Here, see that writing? It seems like the ancient language of the western country. If I haven't translated it wrong, it says that this scrolls can change someone's life."
"Really?! How?"
I pointed my index finger to the middle of the scroll. Some big unknown letters were written there.
"If you spread the color of fate and life, time will go back and fate return, but beware what you wish for." - "Time is overturned. Fate travels apart. A new world should open up."
Naruto made that dump-face again... He hasn't changed since the chuunin exam, when Ibiki tortured us with an intelligence test, luckily it was a bluff or we already had failed in the beginning.
"Huh? Sakura you know I was never good with anything which has to do with school and for sure I can't solve riddles, so don't torture me please."
I sighed.
"Neither can I explain all the parts, it's written that you should say the second sentence when you done the preparation, but nowhere was recorded any instructions, so actually it isn't written what you have to do to make it happen."
"Then isn't it useless?
He earned a hit on the head.
...
...
...
Now when I think about it, that was one of the good old times with the baka Naruto.
"Madara, one of them is still alive."
So the footsteps belong to Obito Uchiha.
That might be my last few minutes in this world. If only there would be another chance, maybe if I had studied that scroll better, it could be my last chance to change my life. Pitiful I didn't get the time, since the war started.
Footsteps again.
"Who is it? If it isn't Hashirama, just kill him."
"Her. She's that medic-nin from the 3rd division which researched Zetsu."
Losing the feeling in my body, it rapidly started to get colder. I tried to remember, the second sentence, one small hope before I couldn't wish for anything anymore.
"Time is overturned-.."
"Oh, but she's still able to talk."
I spat out blood.
"Fate travels apart-.."
"Stubborn girl, in that state she's gonna die anyway, just finish her."
Even when there is no chance, at least hear my wish.
"A- A new world should open up."
My wish to change my fate for the sake of the world, no, for the sake of Konohagakure, especially the people precious to me.
I already heard strange voices in my head.
Hhn, so this is how it's gonna end.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself on a marbled floor. So I did what every sane person would do, I stood up. Which surprised me, since I was in a dying condition. With a glance down confirmed that I still look like when I was on the battlefield. However it didn't make any sense that my body felt no pain.
I looked around, flames were around 20 meters in front, I circle around myself, but wherever I wad looking, there was only a wall of flames.
So heaven has no place for me or ... does it actually looks like hell?
"Time is overturned. Fate travel apart. A new world should open up."
Out of nowhere, there was a mighty-gigantic lion standing in front of me. His fur is golden, but his paws were on fire, literally.
"You, a mere human, were able solve the riddle, state your name and your wish."
It would better to tell him before he grills me and I really end up in hell.
Fate return
"Sakura Haruno, my wish is to change my fate."
"Silly human, your fate already will be changed, you receive the chance to reborn and live your life a second time. Even if you're the first person who was able to solve it, only one wish will be granted."
Time will go back
"Before that, can you tell me who you are and where I am?"
His stare was so furious that I instinctive took a step back.
"I'm one of the twelve guardian of this world, Leo is my name, the God of Fate. You've been teleported in a place between our dimension."
"Was it because of the riddle?"
"Correct."
If you spread the color of fate and life
Of course, the color of fate was red, red as blood, which was needed to live. So without knowing I already solved the riddle and made the preparations. Lucky me!
"Leo, you said a wish will be granted, you mean -as example- that my forehead wouldn't be so large anymore?"
"If that would be your wish it can easily be granted."
"Then let me think about it."
What do I wish for...
"Is it also possible to make a wish for others?"
"Depends on."
"Then can I wish that Naruto's parents would be alive?"
"Shouldn't you be listening to the warnings? Anyway that wish will cost the life of your parents, Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno."
But beware what you wish for
I gasped.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm the God of Fate not the God of Death or Heaven. They are the guardians who balance the world between the living and death. For two souls to be alive there must be two souls taken. Since you were the one who's making this wish, we only can take your blood-related."
"So Mother and Father."
"Better choose another wish."
"No."
I clenched my teeth.
"Naruto needs his parents."
"This might not be my decision, but don't you want to think it over?"
"It might be cruel to kill my own parents in this way, but it isn't the time to decide that. Konoha needs the fourth Hokage and Naruto as well."
I closed my eyes, memories appeared in my mind.
"The truth is, when Naruto and me once ended up in a parallel universe (AN/ Road of the Ninja), even if the time we stayed was short, he taught me what it means to have parental love. When I got back my parents died a few months after, even before the war started. I already let go of it, but to imagine that Naruto has to go through all this again, I can't. He's like a dear little brother to me. He, for sure, will be the next Hokage."
"To satisfy my curiosity, might I ask why don't you think the person you love will be next Hokage?"
I smirk. So even the Gods knows, then why did he ask for my name? Better not ask...
"They both might fight about it, if they do then I snatch it from them and follow the path of my Shishou."
"I see. My apologize to interrupt, but it's time. If you stay here any longer you might not be able to leave this place."
He continued with a firm voice.
"In the name of the God of Fate, me Leo, will fulfill Sakura Haruno's wish to let two souls live in exchange for the souls of her parents. As well will she reborn to change her fate."
He paused.
"Do you Sakura Haruno accept all the conditions?"
"I will."
"Sakura Haruno has been granted!"
Flames circled around me.
"Wait, what conditions?"
I couldn't see through the flames, but I still could hear Leo's voice.
"Only three, listen well, you won't be able to use that justu ever again. Second, never mention my existence. By both death awaits you if you don't follow the rule. And at least, you'll die at the same age you are now, unless you..-"
I concentrated, I really did, but I was still not able to hear his last sentence, unless what?
My sight faded away, suddenly it all became dark. I lost conscious.
It feels warm.
Ba-thump... Ba-thump...
A heartbeat?
I opened my eyes, but the light was too bright, I was unable to see anything.
Then out of nothing I started to scream and cry as loud as I could. Tears were running down my face. It wasn't the first time I did such a thing, but it somehow felt uncomfortable and wrong.
There was no dysfunction, my mind was working perfectly, but not my body, why?
When I tried to turn around, I realized that I was being held, so I looked up and saw the smiling face of my mother. I tried to reach for it, but my arms weren't long enough, whats more was that they had shrunk to the size of a mandarin. Not only my hands, my whole body had the same size, ... just like a newborn.
"Sweetheart, she looks just like you! So lovely!"
"Congratulations Kizashi and Mebuki, it's a healthy girl."
So it was the first time that I cried, the first time in my reborn life.
...The fuck!? I am a baby!
"Have you already decided on a name?"
My mother softly stroke my head.
"Her hair has the same color as the cherry blossoms. Like a Sakura in a spring field. Honey, let's name her Sakura."
"Sakura Haruno."
Like it?
