"Where are we, Tsuande-sama?" the 18 year old kunoichi asked.

"We are just south of the Fire Nation's border Sakura," the Godaime answered.

"What are we doing here?" Sakura asked as she and the Hokage continued jumping from tree to tree.

"Have you heard of the legend of the Star Princess?"

"Iie(no)."

"Oh? Well, listen up. This information is essentail."

"I'm all ears, Shishou(master)."

"Okay..."Tsunade told the story as she and Sakura continued towards their destination, "We'll about 200 years ago, just before the nations were formed, there was a royal family that ruled over the region that is now the 5 shinobi nations. The King and Queen had one child, a daughter. They had named her Tenshi. Kyohaku Tenshi."

"Star Angel?" Sakura asked.

"Correct. Now, where was I? Oh! Well, the family had a heirloom that was passed from mother to daughter. The Rainbow Star Crystal. It was said that only a woman could activate it. And only if they were a direct descendant of the founder of the Crystal, Kyohaku Kakaku (Special Star). No one in the family could activate it. This lead to problems when foreign enemies attacked. The Kyohaku's didn't like fighting. Their army wasn't that big. The shinobi were well trained but they were outnumbered by an enemy that was just as good, if not better, than them. They were destroyed quickly. The Queen, who was the holder of the Crystal at the time knew what she had to do. Willing the Crystal with all her might, she activated it. The Crystal unleashed a nearly endless amount of chakra and pushed the enemy back. When the battle had finished. The Star Kingdom had won. The Queen paid a hefty price for using the Crystal though. She paid with her life. She knew this would happen. It always happened. The King found his wife dead, next to a boulder. The boulder had six gems carved into it as well as an anceint form of writing. The six gems were an emerald, a ruby, a sapphire, an amethest, an obsidian, and a pearl. The Star Gems. The King also noticed that his daughter was missing. Tenshi was no where to be found. The King concluded that his wife must have sent their child somewhere safe before sacraficing herself. The King found another wife and had another daughter. But when he tried to remove the gems, they wouldn't budge. He hired someone to break the boulder, but the hammers and all the other tools they used broke. The King decided that his family's reign was over, for he had lost his most powerful weapon. Choosing five of his most trusted compainions, he split his land into five regions, giving each of his friends a region. The five built their nations and 100 years later, the first kages were chosen."

"Wow, that's some story," Sakura commented.

"Yes. It is. Can you figure out where we're going?" Tsunade asked.

"To the boulder?"

"Hai(yes). Another thing you should know."

"Nani(what)?" Sakura inquired.

"When the first kages were chosen, the boulder released its hold on five of the gems. The emerald, sapphire, ruby, amethest, and obsidian. One was sent to each kage. The Star gems have been passed down from kage to kage ever since."

"So which county got which gem?" Sakura asked.

"The Land of Fire got the emerald. The Land of Wind got the sapphire. The Land of Lightning got the ruby. The Land of Earth got the obsidian. And the Land of Water got the amethest."

"So only the pearl is left in the boulder?"

"Hai. No one knows why only five were released and why those five. We believe the answer lies within the writing on the stone. But no one has been able to translate it yet. Until we can find a translator, the mystery of the Star gems were remain excatly that: a mystery. There is one thing though."

"Nani, Tsuande-sama?"

"It is rumored that if the Star Princess, Tenshi, is ever found, she can release the sixth gem and the Rainbow Star Crystal shall be recreated."

"But Tenshi went missing. And that was about 200 years ago. How can she still be alive?"

"The Rainbow Star Crystal has unimaginable powers. It can control time and space. I believe, the Queen sent Tenshi into the future to be reborn and to continue their line and to protect the Crystal."

"So, why bring me along?"

"I wanted to you see this. Ah! We're here."

All Sakura saw was barren piles of ruins, "Tsunade-sama, these are ruins."

"Very observant. When the capital of the Star kingdom was attack, this is what it was reduced to. After the nations were formed, the people moved to each of them. The King vanished too. Many though he commited suicide."

"Oh. So where is this boulder?"

"This way." Tsuande made her way through half of walls and torn down roofs and charred houses. Sakura followed and soon found her and Tsuande in the center of the ruins.

"This was the town square. There...is the boulder. Historians are calling it the Star Boulder.

Sakura looked at a rock that appeared to be about 8 feet tall. On the side she was facing, Sakure saw inscription. Taking a closer look, she saw the weird writing, "What do you mean, you can't find a translator? I can read that clear as day!"

"Nani? What does it say?" Tsunade asked, very surprised.

"It says: When the Stars are reunited, the Angel shall claim them, but only if she is pure at heart."

"Well, the Queen may have been smart to put the gems into the rock, but she wasn't to clever with the wording."

"No, it is brilliant. Most people my age haven't heard the legend. If they read this, they would be confused," Sakura explained.

"Interesting. Sakura, try to pull the pearl out."

"But I thought only the Princess can,"Sakura was definatly confused.

"Just try."

"Well, okay." Sakura walked up towards the boulder. Taking the part of the pearl sticking out, she pulled.

It came out.

Tsuande gasped. The emerald, which was in her pouch, came out an hovered towards Sakura. Tsunade looked up and saw four specks coming closer. It was the four other gems. The pearl levitated out of her hands and will the other gems, circled above her palms so fast, only a blur could be seen. A flash of light blinded the two. When the light died down, Tsuande and Sakura saw the result. Laying in Sakura's hands was a multicolored crystal. The crystal jutted out in random places. Basically, it looked like a firework that just blew up. Sakura was stunned. Well, who wouldn't be when you just pulled a gem out of a boulder when no one else could and now you are holding what is probably the most power weapon ever created.

"Well, I believe we have found the Star Princess, Hime-sama(princess)."

"Don't joke Tsuande-sama!" Sakura cried.

"I'm not."

"You mean to tell me. That I'm the Star Princess?"

"Yes. You are Tenshi's reincarnation."

"Oh my god." was all Sakura could say.
