Hey guys! I decided to make another fanfiction story on my account. I don't know the exact pairing that I am going for yet, but it might be either peinsaku, itasaku, madasaku or something like that. But I'm guessing by the time you actually read this the pairing will already be set. Anyway I really hope you enjoy the story and constructive criticism is welcome.
Stage 1: It's happening to no other
A thick blanket of snow covered Konoha. Children were running and playing. Throwing snowballs at one another in merryment. Their laughs could be heard for miles. They have not grown up yet, they have not felt how cold the snow could actually be. How cold life can be. How much would you pay to stay free. To not grow up. To stay innocent and pure. To be embraced by your loved ones and stay blissfully unaware of the world and what goes on in it.
This is where our story begins. With this one girl. One girl named Sakura Haruno.
Stage 1 Part 2: It's happening to no other
A small cottage sat upon the busy corner of the red light district of Konoha. A small figure looked out of the window of this house. Watching the cold snow float upon the ground. This figure smiled to the snow outside and slowly undid the hatch to the window. Sticking out the window, a pink blob of hair could be seen. Its face filled with joy as she stuck her tongue out the window, her eyes crossed staring past the bridge of her rosy red nose to look at the small snowflake that landed on its tongue. Giggle of laughter could be heard eyes the girl quickly pulled her head back into the house. This young innocent child's name is Sakura Haruno, but I'm sure you already knew that.
Sakura was a quite girl. Could be pleased by the smallest of things such as an extra cookie after dinner or even having one chore removed off the chore list on the fridge. As I said quite easy to please. But unknown to this small child, this tiny blossom, she has a destiny. A destiny that could determine the fate of the world. Your fate even! Wait, your not a ninja? Just carry on reading then. That was my mistake ^^
Anyway as I was saying this small girl ,Sakura Haruno, has a destiny to discover. And her chapter will soon begin.

I liked the snow. Mommy always talked about how beautiful the cherry blossom was when they were cover in snow. Mommy always said that she loved cherry blossoms too. She said she named me after cherry blossoms since they always made her happy. I haven't seen mommy in a long time now but everyone said that mommy was a great ninja. My village, Konoha, is a shinobi village, so we have lots of ninja here to keep everyone safe. I want to be a ninja just like mommy was. Daddy even enrolled me into the academy. I bet mommy would be so proud if she was still here. Daddy says that mommy went on a mission. But she left years ago. Whenever I ask when mommy will be back my daddy just gets a far off look and say " She'll be back soon princess. I promise." Then he always changes the subject so that I don't ask anymore. I'm not stupid. I know that mommy might be gone forever. Dead. But a small part of me still wants to see mommy again. She always used to tuck me into bed at night. I wanna make mommy proud thus my reason for being a ninja. I'm gonna start the academy soon. I just have to wait another month when the school opens up. I can tell that daddy thinks being a ninja is too dangerous. He always tries to change my mind, but he is proud of me. I can see it in his eyes. He says that I'm his little princess and that I will be the greatest ninja in the world. Then he would pick me up and spin me around until I'm dizzy. It makes me happy to see that daddy is happy. Why cant everyone just be happy together?
One day I was with daddy in the park, and there was a boy there crying. The villagers were picking on him and calling him a monster. My daddy stopped pushing me on the swing when he saw the little boy. I looked back at him and a frown was on his face too. The boy looked so hurt and so alone. Yeah, that's it he looked alone. Where was his mommy and daddy? Did they forget to pick him up from the park? Soon the villagers left the boy and went to go about their daily lives. Without the villagers crowding all around him I could finally see him better. He had spiky blonde hair and a swirly shirt with a pair of shorts. He moved to the sandbox and just sat there crying more. I couldn't take it anymore. No one should be alone. Never. I walked up to him and crouched down to his level. I then raised my hand.
" Hi there. What's your name?" I asked him with a small smile. He had his hands covering his face. Did he think I was going to hit him? He stared up at me for a moment. A look of shock and disbelief across his face. He then spun his head so fast to look behind him. Then he turned to look at me again. All you could hear was the swirl of the leaves in the wind.
" I'm talking to you ya know. What's your name?" my hand was starting to get tired too from being up for so long. The boy then grabbed my hand in a shaky grip. His voice was barely even above a whisper.
" Naruto. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. Um what's your name?" he looked up at me and I noticed his eyes where the bluest shade of blue. Even bluer than her favorite aqua crayon. I smiled at him. A wide smile. He wont be alone. I will make sure of it.
" My name is Sakura Haruno Naruto-kun." His face blushed slightly as I said his name. I then crouched down to his level in the sandbox we were standing in.
" Do you wanna play with me Naruto-kun?" the boy beamed at me. He was happy and now I was happy too. I looked down at his hand that was still gripping mine. He followed my gaze. And turned into the shade of a tomato as he quickly let go. Muttering a small apology. I laughed at him and then he started laughing too. I looked over at my father who was watching our small exchange. He was looking at me with the most pride that I have ever seen. I smiled at me and he smiled back. Daddy was proud of me. I ran over to him and asked
" Daddy. Can Naruto-kun play with us?" I looked back at Naruto. He was standing stock still. Eyeing my father with fear in his eyes. Daddy just stared back at him. A reassuring smile on his face. I whispered into Naruto's ear.
" My Daddy won't hurt you. I promise. He isn't like the other civilians." Slowly as to not startle Naruto. My Daddy introduced himself.
" My name is Hirotosha. Do you want to play with me and my daughter here?" Naruto gave a slow nod and then I nudged him in the side with my elbow. It was the best day I ever had. Daddy pushed me and Naruto-kun on the swings. Then we played hide and go seek and we even played ninja! I even asked Daddy if Naruto-kun could come over for a slumber party and he said yes. Naruto-kun didn't have to go and ask his family. He said he didn't have family and Daddy said that he would be part Naruto-kun's family! Naruto was so happy. Now he always calls daddy Grandpa Hiro. Daddy was sulking because he kept saying that he wasn't old and we just laughed. Now Naruto-kun wasn't alone anymore and he was happy. And now we are just like family. Daddy says that Naruto-kun sleeps over so much that he might as well live here. We laughed at that too.
Are you watching us wherever you are Mommy? I hope your as happy as we are. I hope your proud of me. I miss you. I bet you would love Naruto-kun and we could be a family together.
Sakura was to busy remembering how great life was that day she didn't even notice that Naruto and her father was back from registering Naruto for the academy.
" Ne, Sakura-chan! Me and the Gramps are home!"
Sakura blinked a couple of times. Her elbow was sore from leaning against the window ledge so much. She could just look at the snow for hours. It was so beautiful. Just like her mother. A small smile graced her lips as she turned towards Naruto and her father. Naruto was rambling about ramen while her father just listened intently just like he always did. Her smile grew. Yes, they would never be alone. She would protect them.
She would protect them with her life.
