A Time For Change Chapter 1: New Mission?

Sakura made her way twords the Hokage mansion. She had been called there for a new mission (or that s what she thought).

She walked up the stairs and knocked on the Hokage s door. "Come in" she heard from the other side.

"Morning Tsunade-sama"

"Morning Sakura are you ready to hear your mission?" " Hai"

"Very well as you know as recolection of their new heir of the Land of Sand Suna is throwing a ball. We need you to attend. Under cover."

"Why me? Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro all know me?"

"Gaara has requested you he needs you for some reason they believe there will be a attempt on the new heirs life and they nedd you to accompany them to keep them from harm."

"oh that makes sense but still why did he request me? Why not Ino?"

"Your impossible he said that if he was poisoned you could handle it and he said you d look better in the dress"

"well I guess I have to accept when do I start.?"

"First you have to be properly trained"

"sensai say what?"

"Sakura you need to learn to walk talk sit stand eat and act like a proper lady."

"Aww man"

"you're training starts tomorrow at the crack of dawn."

"yes Tsunade-sama"

"oh and Sakura tell no one of this"

"hai Tsunade-sama"

The next day Sakura was up and ready and heading for the Hokage manor. When she arrived there was a table and chair in the office. "Tsunade-sama?"

"There you are sit" she pointed to the chair. Sakura did as she was told. Tsunade then put a scarff around her shoulders and some one brought a plate with a salad on it and all the utinsels you use to eat with.

"UMM is it really nessisary to imprison me with one of Shizunai s scarves?"Sakura asked in a mocking tone.

"manners matter which you are surprizingly lacking"

"how do you expect me to have proper manners when I work at the hospital almost 24/7?" Tsunade gave her that look that said say one more thing and you ll regret it. She emediately shut up and began eating.

After three more days of the torturing lessons Tsunde had one more thing for Sakura.

"Sakura you are officially an expert in everything but there s one little problem."

"problem what problem"

"well you know your hair is well it needs work okay?" After three longer hours and 2 broken brushes they finally tamed her rats nest she called hair. Her hair was down to her shoulders and put some dark pink streaks in it. Her bangs were pushed over to one side. She also had on make-up. She was already beautiful now she was just gorgeous.

"Now Sakura as you know next week is your eighteenth birthday. Well I lied to you re your not going on a mission."

"Then why put me through all this not that im not gratefull for the new hair du opposed to the way it was but why?"

"Because you need to be ready for your birthday."

"what about it?"

"well as you know we ve gone back to the time of kings and queens."

"hai and?"

"you Sakura Haruno are the Princess of the Land of Fire"


I wrote many of my stories years ago and the format and grammar are horrendous I plan to change them when I have the time what I seek from you all is advice on story line and my dialogue formatting. And any other that you all might want to add just please nothing about capitalization and "txt" speak (I realize that looks awful and I will change that asap). Thanks guys! Please review
