(Don't ask about the Mary Sue name, it shall all be explained when you finish reading this chapter)
Shima walked into Konoha with a large cloak covering her features. A scarf hid all details of her face except for her green eyes. "My name is Shima Takahashi. I'm here on a visit a grave of my friends." The guard stationed at the gate of Konoha to know who came in and out nodded. "Thank you." She said quietly as she started off.
Shima sat down at Ichiraku. "Plain. Thank you." She said politely as Ayame took her order. Hinata sat down beside her and took her order. To make time go by faster, Hinata tried to chat with 'Shima.'
"Hello."
"Hi, Hinata-san."
"Shima-san! I didn't recognize you under the cloak. You do realize that it's summer right?"
"Yes. I just don't feel too well so I am keeping warm." She smiled behind her scarf.
"That makes sense. What brings you to Konoha, Shima-san?"
"I'm going to revive the dead."
"Don't you mean visit?"
Shima laughed. "No, I don't."
Hinata paused for a second before both of their food came. It was silent until the end of their meal. As Shima got up she waved goodbye to Hinata and walked off.
'Shima-san?' Hinata thought as she got up politely and walked away, her mind full of questions. 'Last time Shima came it was the day of Sakura's funeral. I wonder what's she's going to do?'
Shima had been sitting at her own grave for hours. It was close to sunrise now. She lifted her cloak off to reveal long pink hair and striking green eyes and a red Konoha headband holding her bangs back. "It's very funny. My grave says here lies Haruno Sakura, comrade and friend. Nothing about being a ninja they might as well should have just put nuisance right on it. Plus they don't have a body down there, well at least not the right one that is." She started to laugh. Her light airy laugh was whisked away by the summer breeze. Her eyes scanned the area and then she disappeared.
Out from the bushes came a blond hair blue eyed ninja named Naruto. "Sakura-chan?"
Sakura with cloak currently back on was standing right on top of Hokage tower. She looked out to the place she once called home. "It seems only like yesterday." She laughed once again. "Hello Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, Ino-chan, and Kakashi-sensei, what are you doing up so early. Have a mission or something?" Sakura turned around to face her old teammates and friends. "Something wrong?"
"Sakura…" Ino whispered.
"You're all just in time." Sakura said as she lifted the hood of the cloak down and untied her headband.
"You're alive Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as he went closer to her.
Sakura jumped back a little and now held her headband. "I never died."
"Just in time for what, Sakura?" Kakashi said.
"This." At that moment the sun rose and a beautiful sunrise sparkled over Konoha. Sakura took this moment and opened her cloak and threw her headband into the sky. She disappeared for a moment and you could hear metal against the headband. "There it's done." Sakura said as she reappeared behind them and ran off into the forest. Without even thinking the four of them followed her.
About an hour later, Hinata was taking a walk around Konoha until something caught her eye. She walked over to it, and picked it up. "A leaf headband?" Hinata said as she examined it. There was a couple of slash marks on it and the marks resembled a petal of a cherry blossom. She flipped it over and saw a message sown into it.
'Me who has no memories
knew them all so not.
They still lived within waiting
To bloom like a cherry blossom.'
Hinata wondered what this meant and went to Tsunade immediately.
"Hokage-sama! I'm sorry to wake you up so early but I found a headband that was slashed and a poem on the back. I can't decipher it. Can you, Hokage-sama?" Hinata said as she barged into the Hokage's office.
"Huh?" Tsunade said groggily. "Why wake me for such a trivial thing? But since I'm up let me see it." Hinata handed the headband to Tsunade. Tsunade read it over once and immediately said, "Sakura is alive."
"What?"
"Sakura is alive. 'me who has no memories' refers to the name Shima. When it said, 'knew they all so not' meaning that Shima had her memories meaning a falsely give game. 'waiting to bloom like a cherry blossom.' Translates into waiting for Sakura to bloom meaning waiting for Sakura to come back."
Hinata just stood there.
"You are to tell no one, got that?" Hinata nodded. "This isn't confirmed yet." Tsunade didn't believe herself, she knew her own apprentices handiwork anywhere but she didn't want to believe it. 'Sakura was alive all this time, and when we finally realize that, she leaves Konoha.' Hinata decided to leave while Tsunade tried to organize her own thoughts.
Yeah well this is the chapter. I finally wrote it out… I find it horrible. So please give me your honest opinion on this. I think it is really bad… Anywho, Did you think I was going to turn this into a Mary Sue fic? Heck no! Anywho.. I suck at descriptive writing.. can I at least have one review? I already have the third chapter typed up. So if I get at least one review I probably will put that one up! HELP ME!!
