Two shinobi are resting in the hut front of the gate for anyone who signs in or/and out of the village. They have been lazy around for hours since no travelers has arrived and not even any shinobi on leave for missions. It's one of those days when it's a rather slow and boring day. One of the shinobi yawned loudly while stretched his arms above his head. Another shinobi is resting his eyes closed with his arms crossed.

Suddenly, they both felt a flare of unfamiliar chakra outside of the gate. They stood on their feet with their kunai out with suspicion. They exchanged their glances and nod slightly. They left the hut, search for the possible intruder that flare the chakra. When one of the shinobi found a small figure of a body a few feet away, he beckoned his partner and went to examine this mystery intruder in cautioned.

When they got closer, they paused with a surprised look when they saw a little girl with unusual pink hair and she looked like she has been through a war. One of the shinobi checked her pulse quietly. "She's alive." He said, calmly.

Another shinobi frowned. "Should we take her to the hospital?" he asked with curious and cautioned.

"I think we should. One of us has to inform the Hokage-sama, for all we know, she could be a spy." He said. Then he picked up the petite girl in his arms and turned to his partner. "I'll take her to the hospital. You'll get Hokge-sama."

Another shinobi nodded his head. They both run inside the village to their destination on a different path.

Meanwhile, Sarutobi, Hiruzen the Sandaime Hokage is currently sitting in a chair with the amount of paperwork on his desk. He sighed heavily as he stared at the stack of paperwork. He never thought being Hokage would be so troublesome. Sandaime grumbled silently while he read the report then disapproved it with his stamp and placed on the rejected pile.

Knocked heard on his door. "Come in." Sandaime gave his permission. A shinobi walked in, bowed respectfully then stood up straight. "Can I help you?" Hokage asked with curious.

"Hai, Sandaime-sama. We have found a possible intruder outside of the gate, however, it's a little girl who seems went through a war. We do not know if she's a spy or not." He reported.

Hiruzen hummed. "I see. Where is she?"

"In the Konoha Hospital, sir."

The Hokage nodded his head. "I shall see her myself. Thank you." The shinobi bowed and left the office. Hiruzen rubbed his beard with a thinking face, 'It could be a spy, or possible a wanderer orphan.' He glanced at his paperwork and decided to check this girl. Better than paperwork that's for damn sure.

A pink-hair girl laying on the hospital bed after she was washed with cloth by a nurse and even changed into a simple hospital gown. The nurse double checked the IV, pulse, and basic things until she was satisfied and left the patient room. Once the door was slid shut quietly, the little girl fluttered her eyes open to reveal her emerald speckled of blue eyes. She blinked few times to adjust the bright light in the room and examined the room she's in. 'I'm…in… a hospital?' she thought in confusion.

The little girl pushed herself up, turned her head at the window and couldn't see very well since the curtains blocked the view mostly. The door slid open that caught the little girl's attention. The nurse walks in with a trap of needles and medicine. She paused when she saw the patient was awake.

"Oh my! You shouldn't move so much young lady." The nurse scolded lightly while she placed the tray on the table. She went the pink-hair girl and pushed her back on the bed. "You are very low on chakra and your wounds have caught infections." The nurse explained belief, "Also, you have a second-degree burnt on your arm, broken rib, and torn muscles." She frowned. "What happened to you, child?" she asked the little girl with confused and disbelieved such things happened to a little girl.

The pink-hair girl just blinked and looked away with a frown on her face. The nurse sighed softly then check the little girl's health once again.

The door knocked and opened, Hiruzen walked in such confident that the nurse back away and bowed respectfully. "Hello, Hokage-sama." The nurse greeted the leader.

The Hokage greeted the nurse. "Hello. I would like to have a private talk with her." The nurse nodded her head and immediately left the room and shut the door behind her.

Hiruzen turned his attention on the tiny pink-hair girl, "What's your name?" he asked softly when he saw how young the little girl is.

The pink-hair girl stared at the man, she furrowed her eyebrows, "….S-sakura… I think?" she frowned.

"No surname?" The Hokage narrowed his eyes at Sakura.

Sakura shrugged her shoulders with confused in her eyes. "I-I…I don't remember." She mumbled sadly.

The Sandaime observed the little girl's emotions, she is a very open book that he knew she's being honest. "My name is Sarutobi, Hiruzen. I'm Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato. Do you know my village?"

Sakura frowned deeply, "I…think so? Konoha, is a Hidden Leaf Village for…ninja?" she questioned confused but the Hokage nodded his head.

"That's correct. Do you remember how you arrive at my village? My shinobi founded you outside of the gate."

The pink-hair girl bit her lip as she attempts to remember something, but her mind was fuzzy. "I don't remember." Her eyes went confuse and sad.

Before the Hokage could ask another question, the door knocked and opened. The doctor walked in, "Hello, Hokage-sama." he bowed the leader. "I came to check on the patient."

Hokage nod his head, "It seems she doesn't remember much except she knows her name and this village." He informed the doctor.

The doctor raised his eyebrows at this information. He went to check on the pink-hair girl with his glowed chakra hands and examined her carefully. Sakura lay still with an uncomfortable face. After ten minutes or so, the doctor quickly retreats his hands and write stuff down on the clipboard. "I believe our patient has brain fog which causes some memory loss. Fortunately, it's not permanently so she'll gain her memories back in due time." He turned to Hokage, "She was in stress and anxiety that caused her memories unclear most of the time. However, she does remember basic needs, and a few things such as her name, age, and possibly personal background." He explained.

"That's fortunate news." The Hokage said and turned to Sakura. "Do you remember anything, child?" he asked with curious yet slightly suspicion.

Sakura furrowed her eyebrows, "…I think… I remembered bodies. Faces are too blurry and… there's so much… blood." She whispered the last word. The doctor and Hokage stared at the little girl quietly with sympathies.

"It's not unusual for someone her age to block those memories." The doctor explained quietly to the Hokage, "It's called repressed memories. It basically has her memories unconsciously blocked due to the memory being associated with high-level stress or trauma."

Hiruzen glanced at the doctor. "And this is not permanently, right?"

The doctor nodded his head, "Correct. However, it depends on each person's mind. It could take weeks, months, or even years for her to actually remember everything." He glanced at the pink-hair girl, "According to the nurse and mine's estimation is that she's around eight years old, a rather small for her age due to the lack of nutrition. And one thing that is unusual is that she has chakra stored seals inside both her wrists."

The Hokage was interested in that last piece of information. "I see." He walked to Sakura. "May I take a look at your wrists, Sakura?" he asked gently.

Sakura blinked, she lifted her hands toward the leader who gently touches her wrists and turned over. He examined the seals inside of her wrists, then he glanced up at her face and noticed the purple diamond-shape charka sealed on her forehead. He recognized that type of seal which baffled him that a nine years old girl to have such dangerous seal. 'That's… Creation Rebirth. Only two people I knew have those. Uzumaki, Mito and Senju, Tsunade… how can this child has one?!' he frowned deeply, he hopes this child won't ever use it in her life because he is aware of the consequences to release and use those seal for the user. He truly hopes this child won't use it otherwise, she'll die much sooner rather than later.

'Most of all, who taught her that? I doubt Tsunade would teach her, she very strict to share those, she never releases the information about it. Not even her apprentice. I doubt Mito-sama would do that as well. She only taught it to Tsunade but that's it. So, who?' he mused with puzzled. Then he glanced at the sealed-on child's wrists, 'No mistaken that these are Chakra seals. This means this child has the amount of Chakra, and it's not self-sealing, someone gave their Chakra to her. But who would do that? Why to a child like her? Could be her parents? Siblings? Or anyone who gave it to her in order to save her life?' he mentally sighed as he could feel so many headaches coming. He wishes that Sakura would remember so she can answer his questions but, unfortunately, she has temporary memory loss.

Hokage smiles at Sakura, "Thank you for showing me, Sakura." He released her hands and clasped his hands behind his back. 'Something tells me that this child has experienced as a shinobi…' he opened his mouth, "Tell me, child, do you remember anything about yourself? Your family? Your home? Anything you could tell me? And… are you shinobi? Or have any experience being one? Jutsu, maybe?" he asked few questions.

Sakura tilted her head as her eyes stared at the ceiling with thinking face. "…I have pink hair." She remembers that for sure as Hiruzen's lips twitched in amused while the doctor writing down some note, "…I think I have a family, mom, and dad. Mom was at home. Dad… I… think he was at the battle?" she closed her eyes with furrowed eyebrows in concentration, "….home, safe but then it was gone…" her face then soften to sadness, "I remember home vanished… meaning… mama is gone…" tears leaks out of the corner of her eyes, "And… I was alone, sort of? I think there's someone send me away." She sniffled and wipes her tears away.

The Third Hokage closed his eyes, 'I see. Even though there are many holes in her explanation, I can guess that she was caught in the war in her village. Somehow, someone found her and send her away before gave her extra Chakra in order to save her and protect her. Possibly her father or someone who knew her.' He mused, sympathy for the little girl who is possibly now an orphan. "How about Jutsu? You know anything about those?" He asked softly with father-y eyes.

Sakura opens her eyes at the sudden bright as if she remembers, she lifted one hand and soon it covered soft green glow. The doctor gasped in amazed, "Mystical Palm Technique… she can use a healing jutsu." He was impressed an eight years old girl could easily turn on her healing chakra almost immediate as if she did it for many years.

Sandaime Hokage rubbed his chin, 'It's possible that she was at the war because of her healing. I would understand that part. At least that I would assume.' He mused then nodded at Sakura, "Thank you, Sakura." She stopped her chakra and dropped her hand on the bed. 'I can't help but feel like she was meant to be here in this village. Maybe that's why she was here send by someone who knew her. Something tells me that if we lose her, we would be a great disadvantage and loss a potential powerful Kunoichi.' He thought, then he decided it. He knew it's very risky but somehow, he believes that she was meant to be here. In his village and provide a great future for Konoha.

"How would you like to be part of this village, Sakura? To be a Leafe Shinobi." Hokage asked the little girl while the doctor turned to the leader with a surprised look.

Sakura stared at the leader, "…me?" she doesn't understand why he wants her to be a ninja in his village. She doesn't understand, she doesn't remember much but knew somehow, she doesn't belong here. However, the Hokage seems genuine that he wants her to be part of his village.

"Hai, do you know the Will of Fire?" Sakura shook her head, "It's a life philosophy that has been passed on to may ninja as a part of their spiritual heritage. This village is like a large family unit and every Konoha shinobi with the Will of Fire loves, believes, cherishes, and fights to protect the village." He explained then stared at Sakura's unique eyes. "Tell me Sakura, do you think you could possibly inherit the Will of Fire?"

Sakura frowned, she stared at the leader's strong and confident eyes until a whisper came through her ears alone.

"We're leaving the future in your hands, Sakura."

Somehow, she couldn't help but feel desires, determined, and strength that she must protect something almost as if she was sent here for something important even though she doesn't remember what it is. She knew she'll have to grow strong and protect something. A strong glint of fire determined in her eyes that made Hokage smiles wide. "Hai… I want to be a ninja… and… protect the something. I don't remember but I do know I have to become strong and protect something precious." Sakura said with determined.

Hiruzen nodded his head, "That's good enough answer, Sakura." His eyes twinkled, "Welcome to Konoha."

A Week Later….

Konoha Orphanage

Sakura is currently in the bedroom with a few girls who minded their own businesses and avoid the pink-hair girl. Except for one shy girl who has long, teal-colored hair tired back a few inches above the end in a loose ponytail, large teal eyes, and fair skin. She wears a kimono-style garment that is pink and held closed with a yellow obi. Her name is Hayato, Kaede. Kaede is one of the girls who are nice to Sakura and even provide her some clothes and blanket to keep warm during night time.

Sakura changed her clothes into a simple green kimono-styles garment and held closed with a white obi and old blue ninja sandals. Sakura is one of the few kids who go to the Ninja Academy, unfortunately, Kaede doesn't attend the same academy. She goes to Civilian Academy instead to become a cooker who owns a business.

Kaede walked inside of the bedroom with a book in hands, she walked to Sakura with a soft gentle smile, "Sakura-chan, I got you this. I think this will help you." She said. Sakura turned away from the window, she grabbed the book and read the title, 'Chakra for Beginner'. Sakura smiles at Kaede.

"Thank you, Kaede-chan." Sakura is grateful to have such a sweet and thoughtful friend. Kaede smiles wide, she was very happy to help the pink-hair girl.

"Are you looking forward to attending your first day of school tomorrow?" Kaede asked with curious.

Sakura held the book against her chest, "I think so? I don't remember a lot, but I think I'll be able to catch up in the academy." She said.

Kaede hummed, "Well if you ever need help, I'm here for you. I know I'm not a ninja or even won't understand a thing about it, but I'll try my best to help you whenever you need it, okay?"

Sakura smiles and nodded her head, "Of course, thank you."

After a few hours later, it was bedtime for the children and they went to their bed and the caretaker turned off the lights and shut the door. Kids fell asleep in their assign beds except for Sakura who stared at the wall in front of her.

She curled up and closed her eyes, 'Why can't I remember anything?' slowly, she fell asleep.

[Dreamland]

"Are you sure you want to become a ninja?" a woman with blurry face stood in front of Sakura. Sakura in her youngest age of four nodded her head. "Being ninja is a very dangerous road… I don't think it's a good career for you."

"Oh, come on, darling!" a man with blurry face walked up to Sakura, he picked her up effortlessly, "Our sweet blossom would become one of the strongest and beautiful kunoichi this village has ever seen! In fact, this village should be proud to have such a wonderful girl to serve our home."

The mother crossed her arms, "I don't know… I don't like this. We're sending our daughter off to a Ninja Academy to become a killer. Maybe we should just send her to the Civilian Academy, instead. It's safer."

Sakura protected, "But mama! I want to be a ninja!"

The father turned his head at his daughter, "Tell us why you want to become a kunoichi, blossom? You must have a reason, yes?"

Sakura bobbled her head, "Hai! I saw silver hair ninja who has a doggy mask stopped a meanie man who hurt a boy. A dog-san saved the boy, gave him a food, and vanish! It was amazing, and I want to help people like that! Like Dog-san!" she explained her reason.

"You… want to become a shinobi to help people?" the mother asked softly, Sakura nodded her head, "…alright. Promise me that you'll try your best and get good grades, show us that you are indeed serious about being a Shinobi, okay? Can you promise us, flower?"

"Hai! I promise! Thank you, mama, daddy!" Sakura chirped excitedly.

[End of Dreamland]

Sakura fluttered her eyes open once a sunlight touched her face through the window. 'Are they my parents?' she thought as she remembered her dream, or maybe rather a piece of memory. Warm yet sad feelings inside of her that her parents actually accept and support her to wanting to become a ninja. Even though she knew they are gone, but that doesn't mean she won't keep a promise that she made with her parents. She will try her best and get good grades, she wants to make her parents proud, and she will. With determined, she climbed off the bed and start getting ready for the first day of school.
