Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Naruto, any of it's charcters.
This is just my second story so don't hate. My first story was a drabble and not very good, I'll probaby turn it into a real story by request of SakuTai. This chapter is dedicated to her.
When a person dies, they are faced with a choice to either pass on to the next world or stay bounded to living by emotions. Whether that emotion is regret, compassion, anger, vengeance, or happiness, everyone makes this choice. My name is Sakura Haruno; my life was anything than ordinary. When you die you lose your body, your thoughts, your opinions, but I choose to keep two very special elements. The first, my memories- childhood, genin, teenage, adulthood. The good and bad. The peaceful days and my final moment on the battlefield.
My childhood was not the best of the herd. I was often teased by children of the village and academy about my forehead. Until a savior came along with platinum hair and lightning icy eyes, Ino Yamanka. Ino was my friend and I had become to be just like her, adapting a sit-fire attitude and strong will. But now that I look back, that wasn't me it was another girl, it was Ino. I don't know when, probably when I announced to Ino I had a crush on Sasuke and that we were rivals, I became a person of my own, it took course in my own life's direction, if only a little.
During my genin days I was a vain, weak, insignificant girl. I had no value what so ever yet Naruto still admired and carried affection for me. Naruto was a ray of sunshine that was hidden by the hate of the villages. I regret not seeing his strength and trying to nurture it to his true potential, luckily Jiriya dis the job well. At that time I had fallen into a crush for Sasuke Uchiha and was trying to gain his affection, terribly failing if i may add. If i were telling this to my 12-year-old self she would be bubbling with anger. Not that i would blame her, she would have a reason. I miss those days of happiness and peace, I truly do. During the chunnin exams we met many obstacles and I broke through the barrier I once set to protect myself. I was always weak and lagging behind Naruto and Sasuke. I brought them down, but during that exam, while cutting my hair for Sasuke, I promised to become stronger to protect them.
My teenage moments were mostly spent thinking of Sasuke, he had left the village for power. I had trained under lady Tsunade and had grown a bit strong. I still loved Sasuke, even though he abandoned the village and tried to kill's invasion on Kohona happen Naruto stood up to beat him. He made Nagato understand that he, carrying Jiriya's will, could bring the whole world to piece. Then, in a whirlwind of events the forth Shinobi war started and we were up against Madara Uchiha,
And Sasuke Uchiha.
That bastard Uchiha came with the remaining Akatsuki and destroyed the hidden leaf village. We had sided with the rest of the nations but we couldn't- we could beat Madara. He had sided with Sasuke, and Naruto tried to fight him and bring him into the light.
But I had given up.
I knew that Sasuke had grown and risen from the shadows, after all these years. After about 10 years, I saw him. He stood over Naruto with a cool, steel sword that was covered with blood. Even at Naruto's last moment he refused to give up. I didn't get involved, not matter how much I cared about Naruto. I didn't do it. Maybe I was too weak. Maybe i didn't want to bruise Naruto the final blow was dealt to Naruto, I shed a single tear. But that tear is worth more to an enemy than a whole bucket of shows you have immense pain inside but you don't want to show it.
When it came to my turn I remember, the hurt.
Sasuke Uchiha, my first love, my ex-teammate, and Naruto's destroyer came before me. This was not the same boy that would train with team 7. This boy-this man, was no longer Sasuke Uchiha, it was a monster. I was standing over Naruto as he whispered things into my ears, his last words. He then did some hand signs. Suddenly, Sasuke dealt the final blow to Naruto, through me. As, I felt the steel sword slide through me an immense aching feeling overcame me and I blacked out.
I woke up in some sort of limbo, a marker between life and death. Then, I blacked out. I woke up in a different place. A universe, that wasn't for mortals...true mortals. In a strange way, I felt as though I was no longer human. Not in the way that I was a monster, just like a higher being. I was in a world of gods and demons.
There were apparently many gods there, they all pretty much ignored me. I met one named, Jashin-sama. His name was familiar. He was a god of death and evil, but we were still friends. He told me that I could return to the surface, but I told him I wasn't ready.
"I'm not too fond of my new powers, Jashin-sama." these were the words that flew from a girls thought. "Yet, I'm still weak, too weak."
"I would probably be best for you to control your powers," a tall, lean man with dark eyes answered "before you leave I promise to look after you"
"Uh...thank you." Sakura answered uncertainly.
I often spent time gardening, that place was so lush that I learned a lot.
"So this one is actually poisoned!"Sakura exclaimed holding beautiful flower.
"Yes, but it has sweet smell. "Jashin explained
I stayed there so much I absorbed the scent.
I trained and I became strong, I was no longer human but I still kept my morals.
"Are you sure you would like a taste?" Jashin-sama asked me.
"I refused to drink the blood of another as a delicacy" I replied keeping my ground. "Besides where do you even get it from?"
"Sacrifices. "He said coolly as if he were telling me what was in my tea.
I didn't say anything after that, we just enjoyed the peaceful silence, well I did.
Yes, I enjoyed myself in that haven, a forbidden ground for true mortals. I really did love it there- grass was always green, flowers bloomed, food was bountiful, and there was happiness surrounding me all the time. Yet, I felt this haven was just the type of world Naruto wanted. A world that Pein and Jiriya and even Madara wanted. Yes, this world was a place that Naruto deserved to be in. That everyone, including tainted people like Sasuke should live in. A place of serenity, a place of happiness, a place where everyone could smile, a place of peace.
When a person dies, they are faced with a choice to either pass on to the next world or stay bounded to living by emotions. Whether that emotion is regret, compassion, anger, vengeance, or happiness, everyone makes this choice. My name is Sakura Haruno, my life was anything than ordinary. When you die you lose your body, your thoughts, your opinions, but I choose to keep two very special elements. The first, my memories- childhood, genin, teenage, adulthood. The good and bad. The peaceful days and my final moment on the battlefield.
The second, and probably most important, was my dream-no ambition. It is not a dream because dreams are just a illusion, they a figment of our imagination made to keep our minds at rest. Yet, they tempt us, they tempt us to go further into them. A place where we are so enveloped in our happiness that we get swallowed by that dream. Then, it's yanked from us, just when we think we had a full hard grasp on it. It runs away to a place farther then our eyes see, farther than our feet can take us. It's cruel really, but it is a just punishment for being so stupid to follow them into the darkness.
My ambition is Naruto's ambition. I take his final words and stuck and pinned them to my very being, just like Sasuke. I won't make the same mistakes. I won't let my heart be eaten away by the pleasantries dreams give us. No, I choose to take a new path, just as Jiriya has passed on his will of fire to Nagato and Naruto, Naruto passes it onto me. And I shall let it burn deep into my soul. I will not make the same mistakes. I choose to combine both Naruto's and Nagato's wills of fire. I will not become their god; I will let the people choose their own fate. I won't try to have a hero-complex because that is not me. I will understand everybody. Hate is the embodiment of war. It will not control me. It will not devour my soul like Nagato's. I choose to take a new course.
Even if I have to tear my body and soul limb from limb, if I have to give up every piece of my being to do it, I will save everybody!
So please review to my story, I hoped you liked it. I will update soon.
