Summary: Sasuke comes from the prestigious Uchiha clan, who killed all the leaders of Konoha in several coup d'etats, and currently holds Konoha in its control, leaving the citizens in constant fear. Sakura comes from a band of misfit kids from Konoha, and will do anything to save her village from the Uchiha. Both live their lives on the high seas, and they both have a similar goal: To kill the other. But when they meet, everything changes. And when their relationship is discovered, they must decide to stay together, or go their separate ways.
A/N: Well, this is my second fan-fic and I'm really hoping you all like it! It's kind of like a Romeo and Juliet relationship in a sense, with hilarious mischief from the Naruto gang, Daring rescues, Romance galore, and a fight to save Konoha from the grip of Madara Uchiha. I think it's really good, so I just hope you all agree with me! Anyway, without further a due, chapter one! Enjoy!

Chapter 1: The beginning of the end.
Neutral POV
"Wh-Who are you?" A small pink haired girl asked. "I am Tsunade, pirate queen of the high seas." The woman said, staring down at her. The girls' eyes widened in fear, and she scooted closer to her mom. "Please Tsunade-sama… ever since Uchiha Madara attacked our village, we can't afford to care for her anymore." A tall, pink haired woman said in sad undertones. She had spring green eyes that were filled with sorrow, as she kept her hand on her daughters' shoulder. "I shall care for her like she was my own daughter." Tsunade assured the woman. "Mommy? Where are you going?" the small girl cried, grabbing onto her mothers hand. "No sweet heart, you must stay. I… I'm sorry. I love you." The woman said, hugging and kissing her daughter, as a single tear streamed down her cheek. "Mommy, don't leave me!" the little girl screamed, tears pouring from her own spring green eyes. Tsunade, who had watched the sad goodbye, knelt down and pushed the Childs' pink strands out of her face. "What is your name child?" she asked, her kind honey brown eyes taking the small girl in. "Sakura… Haruno Sakura." She replied. And that was all Sakura remembered.
It had been nine years since that day, and Sakura was now freshly sixteen. She stood near the rail of the ship, and stared at the moons' reflection on the water. Tomorrow, she knew, was her actual birthday, but she decided that since it was midnight, it probably counted. "Sakura?..." Naruto asked from behind her. Sakura turned around, startled. She hadn't expected anyone to be awake at this hour. "Oh, hey Naruto…" she said, smiling at her blonde haired, blue eyed companion. "What are you doing up so late?" he asked, walking over and leaning on the rail beside her.
"I could ask you the same question." She said, letting out a laugh. "Seriously Sakura, what's up?" he asked, turning to face her. "Oh, nothing… just anxious I guess." She said, smiling up at the sky. "Oh yeah… tomorrow's your birthday, isn't it?" he said, stating the obvious. The upper corners of his mouth twitched upwards into a crooked smile. She nodded, her own smile growing as she stared at the star-lit sky. "I heard Tsunade baa-Chan saying we might go to town tomorrow though." Naruto said, his goofy grin becoming a hard line. "Yeah… Uchiha Madara's causing trouble again." Sakura sighed. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see him clenching his fists. "Those bastards all work with Akatsuki too…" he growled. Sakura nodded, turning her attention back to the sky.
The Uchiha were all enemies. They had killed all of the leaders of Konoha, everyone on the ships' hometown. Even the Uchiha originated from Konoha, though they had broken their ties with the village a long time ago. "Look at it this way Naruto. If we don't have to deal with any of them tomorrow, we can celebrate my birthday in town." Sakura said, smiling at her fox-like friend. "Yeah, I guess you're right." He said, grin returning. "DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!" came Tsunade's voice as her cabin door burst open. A tall dark figure jumped on the top of the mast as Tsunade ran out of her cabin, blonde hair blowing in the breeze. "Tsunade-Sama! Who is that?" Sakura asked, peering up at the figure on the mast.
The figures eyes shone with the Sharingan in the darkness, glaring right at Sakura. "An Uchiha." Tsunade growled. "Hn." replied the figure on the mast. "Uchiha Sasuke, to be exact." she spat, like his name left a bad taste in her mouth. Sakura stared at the brooding form, amazed that an Uchiha had managed to get past both her and Naruto. "You bastard!" Naruto growled, unsheathing his katana. He ran up the mast with chakra enhanced feet and swung at the boy, but he was too fast and easily jumped off the mast and onto the deck. The moonlight revealed him, and Sakura was caught off guard.
He had short black hair that spiked in the back, and framed his face perfectly, complimenting his onyx eyes, which were currently fixated on her. Sakura felt her cheeks starting to burn, before shaking her head, scolding herself for feeling that way. 'He's the enemy. An Uchiha.' She thought, glaring at him. She unsheathed her own katana and ran at him, prepared to swing, before he disappeared before her eyes. "What the? Where did he go?" she asked, confused by his disappearance. "He… He vanished." Naruto exclaimed. Tsunade sighed and walked towards her cabin, before stopping. "You two get to sleep. We're stopping in Konoha tomorrow." She then opened her door, walked in, and shut it with a dull thud.
"She's right… We should get some sleep." Sakura sighed, pushing her short pink hair out of her face and re-sheathing her weapon. "I guess… Night Sakura." Naruto waved, before leaving. Sakura smiled to herself, walking back to her cabin. As she walked though, she couldn't get that boy out of her head. "Uchiha…Sasuke." She said slowly, letting each syllable drip slowly off her tongue. 'He almost looked like an angel in the moonlight.' She thought, as she entered her room. She shook her head though, in disbelief. "He is the enemy." She told herself sternly.
And with that in mind, she changed out of her clothes and into a white, long sleeved nightgown. She then plopped down on her bed, pulled the covers over her, and laid her head on her pillow. "Happy Birthday." She murmured to herself. And then she drifted off, letting the rocking of the ship lull her to sleep.
