Sakura was a smart child. She knew how things worked, and how things didn't work. So when her nails cleanly cut a boulder during a day out, her first thought was to tell her parents. But she didn't. She knew how a ninja village worked. You have a bloodline and are the last of your clan? We need babies!
So she kept it hidden. It helped that she didn't know how to activate it. For several years, she didn't use it, nor did she use chakra. She was an ordinary civilian. And she was happy.
That was, until her parents forced her to go into a ninja academy. There, she was trained in chakra. But her ability didn't activate. So, she kept using chakra.
Sakura was never strong. She excelled in theory and academics, but failed in spars and exercise. She wasn't very pretty either. So that gave reason for some girls to bully her. Girls that were jealous of her grades. They insulted her. They hit her. But she told nobody. After all, nobody likes a tattletale, right?
One day, she met a girl. A blond girl named Ino. Ino was nice. She kept away the bullies. She didn't make fun of her forehead. She was her friend.
Ino and Sakura did everything together. From studying, to sports. They did it. This improved Sakura's confidence along with her physical abilities. All was well. Her bullies stopped bullying her since now, she fought back. Her physical grades went up. She even managed to make a small fan club.
In her fanclub was a boy. A boy named Naruto. This boy was obnoxious and loud. He asked her out several times a day, and complimented her. In turn, she hurled insults and assaulted him. That never stopped him though. She even considered going to one of those dates. To make him happy. To award him for his efforts. Then her dark prince came.
Sasuke was his name. All the girls had a crush on him. Even her best friend, Ino. So when she told her friends who her crush was, they weren't surprised. Only mad that they gained a new rival.
Ino stopped talking to her after the declaration. That was fine, she guessed. She still had her prince. She still had her fanclub. She still had Naruto.
When Sakura was training, she sent small amounts of chakra to her fingers. She learnt this from a book on chakra. This made her strikes faster, and stronger. But she messed up. She sent a little too much chakra to one of her fingers, and her ability activated.
Luckily, nobody was around. Nobody saw. She kept streaming chakra to her finger. And she swiped at a tree with said finger. The tree was cut in half. Cleanly. Like the boulder all those years ago.
She was a ninja now. So she had to use everything she could to gain an advantage. And she had an advantage. It was her nails. From that day, she trained her nails. She didn't neglect her other training though.
She found a bloodline similar to hers. The Dead Bone Pulse. Very similar, yet different. For one, her bloodline only works from her nails, not anywhere else. While the Dead Bone Pulse could grow anywhere on their bodies. But compensate that, her nails were sharper and faster.
She still kept her ability a secret. She didn't want to bear children yet. She knew how to activate and deactivate her ability now. So she was very cautious in sending any chakra to her fingers.
It was like this until her graduation day. The day she graduated. It's also the day where she found out she was in a team with Naruto and Sasuke.

Hi. I know. It's really bad. But, it just popped into my mind for some reason. Weird.
Anyhow, this is just the prologue. Just background information. Next chapter will have dialogue.
Please give me criticism. I need help with my writing.
