Chapter 2:
Sakura eagerly plucked the scroll from the messenger hawks leg, excited by the thought of news from her brother. The ordinary hawk nibbled lightly on her ear in an affectionate way. He was after all her creation, made for the soul purpose of communication with her brother, but she had over time created a special bond with her feathered friend.
Sakura reached up and gently stroked the animal to return his affection, then quickly tore the wax seal open and began to read.
Hey Sakura-chan!!! Guess what!!! I just passed my Anbu test and the final ceremony will be on the 15th. PLEASEEEEEEEEE COMMMEE!!!!! I miss you, plus this is the moment we've been waiting for!! I have no idea where you are but I hope it's close enough to get here on time. HURRY!!! I want you to help me make my mask. I think I'm gunna go for a foxy look! Sexy, huh?!!! I'm sorry but this has to be a little short. I got things to do. I'M ANBU NOW!!!!!! Hope to see you soon. REPLY…..Naruto.
Sakura grinned at her brother's sloppy and barely readable writing. Swiping her hand across the smooth paper she expertly used her chakra to rearrange the ink there into four simply, bold words.
I'LL BE THERE, SAKURA
Nodding, she rolled the scroll back up and placed it back in the leather pouch on the hawk's leg. It nibbled her ear again and then flew away, soon nothing more than an invisible dot in the wild blue yonder. Snatching up her pack, Sakura quickly started after the bird. Today was the 8th and from her current position, she would barely miss it by the skin of her teeth if she went at normal humanly pace. However, since when has she ever gone at a humanly pace.
The smirk on her lips spelled nothing but trouble for anyone who got in her way.
Naruto sprang joyously around Tsunade's office singing loudly.
"SAKURA-CHAN IS COMING!! SHE IS COMING TO SEE ME!! I GET TO SEE HER! IWON"T LET SASUKE-TEME TOUCH HER. SHE IS MY ANGEL! I WON"T LET NEJI LOOK AT HER!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!! I WON"T LET DOG BOY-"
His song was cut off by the 5th Hokage's fist being planted firmly on the crown of his head. The other occupants in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Rookie nine and Tenten, Neji, and Lee were there. They had all been summoned by Naruto about something supposedly of the greatest importance to the future of man kind and the world in general.
Tsunade grumpily sat down in her chair again and glared at the yowling fox boy on the floor. "Naruto, tell us your news, and this goes without saying from now on, not in song form."
Naruto seemed to immediately forget the bump on his head and sprang to his feet again, leapt over Tsunade's desk, and enveloped the woman in a bear hug.
"Sakura is coming! I haven't seen her in so long! You'll like her, old lady! She is an expert at medicine stuff like you, maybe even better!! She was the one that came and fixed Lee after his fight with Gaara. You didn't get to meet her then cause she had to go but I'm sure you will this time." Naruto twisted around and his blue eyes landed squarely on Lee Rock. "You remember her don't you Lee?!"
Lee was standing between a disgusted looking Neji and a wary Tenten. He had large hearts popping around his shiny, bowl cut hair and his eyes had a distant look to them.
Naruto sweat dropped and turned back to Tsunade. "See, he remembers her."
Tsunade raised one perfectly shaped eyebrow in slight interest, but then shook it off and a look of indecency cover her beautiful face. Most of Naruto's words ever held anything of much importance most the time. This was most likely one of his elaborate pranks. Tossing him like a rag doll across her desk she stood up, slammed her fisted hands on a large stack of papers, and shouted, "Rookie 9! Team Gai! This pointless meeting is over! Get the hell out of my office!!"
They all filed out, Naruto being drug by the scruff of his neck by Sasuke and Sai. Naruto pouted and struggled out of their grip when the door had been slammed shut. Crossing his arms he surprised them when he smirked and said cockily, "Now I'm not going to tell you my secret, so there!"
With that said, he ran away while his two team members watched emotionlessly.
"Dickless wonder is up to something." Sai commented with a fake smile. Sasuke didn't even spare him a glance and walked down the hall, ignoring Sai completely. The jounin to ANBU ceremony was that very afternoon and he had training to do.
Naruto easily spang from roof to roof at an inhuman speed. An angry frown was set on his lips. "Nobody will get away with saying my Sakura-chan is pointless! They'll see! I can't wait to see their faces when they find out she could slay them all without breaking a sweat." He skidded to a stop on the outskirts of the village and pulled out the scroll Sakura's hawk had delivered to his two days ago. Her words were in heavy, bold print. She never wrote anything in bold unless she meant it. Plus it didn't say she would try, it said she would be there. Even if she had yet to show, he was positive she would be here to congratulate him when he got the position as ANBU.
Carefully rolling the scroll back up, he put it back in his pocket and sat down. He was too riled up. He had to calm down so he could control himself to the fullest of his ability. Sakura had never broken a promise to him and he didn't suspect she would now. He began to meditate and in what seemed like no time at all, it was time to go to the colossal structure at the center of the city that served for all ninja related ceremony's. It was massive with a large fighting arena at the very center. The ceremony was held at the very center of the arena by the Hokage herself.
He luckily arrived on time and stood in line with the others as they all received their traditional arm guards, black clothing, and finally, the masks that they had painted themselves. The stands were full of jounin's and ANBU alike, all eager to see the new recruits. Twenty were being up ranked, including all the members of Rookie Nine and Gai's team. After that, they were all forced to get the leaf symbol tattooed on a shoulder. Naruto cringed slightly at this but didn't make a sound. He could feel Sakura's eyes upon him, filled with pride and most likely brimming with tears. He stood tall as the Hokage finally made her way to the center of all the new ANBU who were circled around her, each three paces apart from each other.
After that, he grew rather bored and just tuned out the speech she was giving, his attention span long spent. He did however use the time to annoy his two teammates by making strange noise under his breath and twitching every once in a while. By the end of the ceremony, both Sai and Sasuke were ready to kill him right then and there in front of everyone. There was a large sound of clapping and Naruto stretched, glancing around to see if he could spot Sakura.
Sakura stood still as she gazed down at her brother. Her current position was along the rim of the huge arena. "Hmmm…. I need to get to Naruto, but he's surrounded by some of the best and most well trained ninja's that were ever loyal to the Leaf. All have different forms of fighting, different attacks, strategies, and abilities. Long and short rang attacks, plus all willing to kill anything that comes into there way. Now the question is, how to get to him? Well, I could…." She scratched her head for a second, but came up blank.
Shrugging, she concluded, "We'll just have to use the 'way as the crow flies' theory." Running back, she dropped into a sprinters position and let out a mouth full of air. Pushing a tiny amount of chakra into her muscles, she gave a wild grin and charged toward the arena, leaping into the air at the last possible moment. "BANZAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tsunade vaguely wondered why Naruto was frantically looking around while bouncing up and down like the idiot he was. She was soon answered.
"BANZAI!!!!!!!!!!!"
Whirling around, she saw a colorful blur come hurdling down from the rim of the battle arena. It was moving at an impossibly fast sped and the leap would have if anything impossible for even a well trained and talented ninja.
"What the hell…." Were the only words that could leave her mouth before the blur hit Neji Hyuuga squarely on the back, plowing him into the ground and across the arena toward Naruto. He and the blur skidded past her and jumped into Naruto's open arms when Neji began to slow. It was then that she discovered it was a pink haired girl wearing an orange jacket with black fluff around the edges and a black skirt covered in orange and red designs, edged in black fluff as well. The strange clothing didn't actually look that bad on her like it probably would with any other person other than Naruto.she was slightly smaller than Naruto and most likely younger by a year or two. As for Naruto, he was grinning like an idiot and spinning her around like you would a little kid.
"You came! I knew you would!!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly.
"Of course! I couldn't miss my big brother's Anbu ceremony! That's taboo, you know!" The pink haired girl squealed excitedly.
Brother? This caught everyone's attention and many examined the brightly colored female again. Tsunade couldn't help but smile slightly when she realized that this was the Sakura that Naruto had been throwing a fit about earlier. The smile however turned into a gasp of surprise under eager eyes when she noticed the forehead protector that held her long hair in place. It was blank. Frowning slightly, she pondered how this young girl could be a nuke nin. It was then that the truth hit her. Why it didn't earlier, she did not now. The signs were clear. Pink hair, green eyes, strange cloths, it had to be her, it had to be the ultimate village less ninja, nicknamed, the Jade Dragon.
She was about to pounce forward and greet her, but Neji beat her too it, but it was hardly a greeting her was offering.
The Hyuuga's cold eyes bore into Sakura's very being. Naruto seemed to notice it to and tried to place himself between the two, but Sakura would not allow it.
Stepping forward, she playfully stuck her hand out and said, "Hello! I'm Sakura! You're a Hyuuga I take it from the eyes. They must not work too well though. I don't think you even saw me coming. You might want to work on that."
If possible, his expression turned even colder as the others smirks slightly at the girl's words. "How dare you mock me, little girl? A lowly breed such as youself has no right to talk to me." Neji hissed out angerly.
Sakura just shrugged. "At least I'm not covered in dirt." And it was true. His face was caked with mud and dirt while his cloths had defiantly seen better days. They were shredded and had just as dirty as his face.
Tsunade took this opportunity to leap forward, not wanting a fight to break out. "Hello Sakura. I'm Tsunade, the current Hokage of the Leaf. Before Neji here makes a fool of himself," Sakura nodded in agreement on that as Tsunade continued, "I simply wish to say it is an honor to have the great Jade Dragon here."
Well this gave everyone a start, but Sakura didn't seem to notice. Nodding, she smiled and replied, "Thanks, that's awful nice of you. However, Naruto and I got to get going. I hope we meet again soon." With that said, she grabbed Naruto's hand and they both poofed away in a puff of smoke leaving much shouting in her wake.
Tsunade quickly retired to her office to contemplate the new arrival. The infamous ninja was Naruto's little sister. "Who'd have thought it?" She commented with a smirk, however it was soon gone as she turned her thoughts on amore serious subject. She had done quite a bit of research on the girl and the more she learned the more she had grown to respect her. It was said that she was quite easy going and tended to avoid scuffles if she could. It had also said that when the situation turned sour and things went down hill, she was in short to say, not easy going, more of a demon actually. No one was really sure of her full potential because her fighting style was so odd and rare. It was however common knowledge that she was greatly feared by the terrorist group Akatsuki and that they treated her with the utmost respect when ever they came into contact with her. 'If only she would enter the Leaf….' Tsunade thought dreamily, but quickly squashed that idea. The Jade Dragon was also known for never once joining a village permanatly, one of the things that made her so well known.
Leaning back in her chair, Tsunade let out a long sigh. Sakura was too big a threat and it was to dangerous to oppose her even if Naruto might be able to control her to some point. It was best to leave well enough alone and let her do as she pleased. Hopefully she wouldn't cause much trouble. Gritting her teeth, she took in the large amount of paperwork on her desk and grumpily started going through it.
Cya
SKYWARD
