Everyone thought that Haruno Sakura had it easy. Friends, family, a home and strong team mates to protect her in dangerouss situations.
People knew that Naruto and Sasuke had horrid childhoods ... but what about Sakura? No one knows about her dark past. And she preferred it that way too. Not that anyone bothered to ask. Everything was going well, until the Chuunin Exams.
"NINJA ART: MIND TRANSFER JUTSU," screamed Ino in triumph.
~Inside Sakura's Head~
'Heh. I finally got you forehead girl. Now, let's see what kind of hidden memories you have in here before I win this battle.'
'UGH. This is boring! Little miss Forehead doesn't have anything worth snooping around for! Whatever. I'll just win right here and no- wait ... a mirror?'
As Ino picked up the mirror, she glanced inside it. Right when her eyes met the surface, her whole world went blank. Seconds later, she woke up again. Though not inside Sakura's head.
A four- year -old Sakura was hiding behind a several large boxes. She was in a small hut shaped building. There was fire surrounding the entire area. Sakura was suffocating from all the black smoke. She had cuts all over body, and her hair was a complete mess.
Sakura was panting heavily, but stopped immediately when she heard two rough voices.
"So did you kill 'em all yet?"
"Yeah, I think so. Though I lost track of that little pink haired girl,"
"How did you lose her? What is she, four, five? Never thought I'd see the day that S-rank criminal, Uchiha Diaske could let a little girl escape him,"
Ino gasped. 'Uchiha..?'
"Hn, whatever. Let's get outta here. If she's still here, she'll die from all the smoke anyway. Hell, if we stay any longer WE'LL die from the smoke."
As they started to leave, a small cough escaped from one of the boxes. "Heh. You hear that? Seems like we found her."
Sakura freezed. She could hear the mens steps slowly come closer. Ino watched in horror as she saw the two men throw four kunai at Sakura. She cringed when the metal hit her already bleeding arm. When finally the two men were infront of Sakura, the man named 'Diaske' plunged his sword in her stomach, with blood splattering everywhere. Ino shrieked a mind-shattering scream.
As Sakura cringed in pain for a few moments, she started to..smile?
"Hey Diaske. This girl is smiling. Stop playing around! Finish her already! The smoke is getting too thick, at this rate we'll be-"
"WILL YOU SHUT UP? I'LL KILL YOU TOO IF YOU DON'T FUCKING STOP TALKING!" Yelled an irritated Diaske.
"Sorry.." mumbled the other man.
"Tch. Now you," he pointed at Sakura "are going to die." He plunged a second sword straight into her chest. She coughed out blood and started panting heavily with fear in her eyes. She should of been dead. Yet, she was breathing? The two men started laughing, but started coughing soon afterwards because of the smoke. Diaske took his two swords out, and kicked her one last time before turning into a series of Uchiwa fans.
Ino couldn't take it anymore. All of this was too much to take in. She couldn't bear seeing the little Sakura on the ground gasping for air.
"RE-RELEASE!"
To The Fight~
Ino still couldn't get that image out of her head. All the smoke, blood, and the two smirking men. But there were two things that she couldn't get out of her head. One, one of the men was an UCHIHA. Two, how the hell Sakura could still be alive after all of those attacks, not to mention all the black smoke slowly suffocating her.
She stared at Sakura in terror.
"Sak-Sakura ... j-just what are y-you?" Ino stammered.
Sakura looked at her confused.
"Ino-pig, you're losing it! I'M SAKURA! SA-KU-RA," answered Sakura with sarcasm dripping under each word.
"Haruno Sakura you know exactly what I'm talking about! WHO WERE THEY AND WHY WERE THEY AFTER YOU?"
Sakura bit her lip. "Nothing. Now shut up and fight me! We have a battle to finish, and I'm not going to let your little hallucinogens stop me from winning!"
"Fine, don't tell me NOW. But you're going to tell me whether you like it or not. LET'S JUST HOPE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO TALK AFTER THIS MATCH IS OVER!"
Ino ran with her fist ready to punch, with determination in her eyes. Sakura mirrored her actions. As their fists collided, it felt as if the whole battle was going in slow motion. But right before they punched each others faces, Sakura whispered something in Ino's ear that made her eyes widened
"There's a lot more to me then you think. Ino-chan."
They both flew meters away from each other. Both unconscious from the blows.
"-cough- This battle has no winner! Both fighters are unable to continue, so this match is a draw!" Announced Genma.
Kakashi and Asuma jumped down to pick up the girls. Both of their faces were covered in worry, concern, and confusion. As they nodded to each other, they jumped back up, placing them down so they could lean against the wall.
Meanwhile, Naruto and Shikamaru were still staring at each other in shock.
When Naruto finally came back to his senses, he walked over to Kakashi-senei.
"Uh, Kakashi-sensei ... JUST WHAT THE HELL WAS SAKURA-CHAN AND INO TALKING ABOUT?" yelled Naruto.
Kakashi just looked at Naruto and shrugged. "Sssh. They're sleeping. I honestly have no idea what they were talking about Naruto. But -"
"It must of been something really big to have Ino scream, and release her jutsu like that. Ino isn't the type to end her jutsu just by seeing something a little scary." Asuma finished.
They all stared at the two girls a while longer.
"... ARRGGHHH WHY CAN'T THEY JUST WAKE UP? THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!" Screamed Naruto.
"What a drag. Are you trying to get us killed? If they wake up, then we'll disturb their sleep, which will make them cranky, which will make them get mad at us. Girls are just troublesome." Said Shikamaru lazily.
All in all, Sakura and Ino had a lot of explaining to do.
