A.N: I'm going to skip the bell test, for those who don't know what happens, why are you even reading this, watch the anime first. Oh, I forgot to mention in the first chapter Sakura and the other genin are sixteen instead of twelve, the reason I made them sixteen is so there age match the characters from Yu Yu Hakusho.
Chapter 2
"This is Kakashi, do you have the target in sight,"
"This is Sakura; I have the target in sight, ready to proceed when given the order."
"T-this is H-Hinata; in position."
"This Naruto; ready when you are. BELIEVE IT."
"Baka, don't shout into the mic, are you trying to make my ears bleed."
"Gomen, Sakura-chan."
"Alright, on my signal, grab the target, ready."
"Hai." All three said.
"Now."
Naruto jumped out from a bush and tackled a cat to the ground, the cat then began to scratch and bite his face.
"The target has been restrained." Sakura said into the mic.
"Well done, have you verified the target, does he have a red bow on its right ear." Kakashi said through the mic.
"Hai." Sakura said.
"Good job everyone, mission complete; now let's head for the Hokage tower." Kakashi said.
"Ah, stupid cat, quit scratching me." Naruto said trying to pull the cat off his face.
"Baka."
Sakura, Naruto and Hinata watched as the cat they just returned is cashed by its owner, all the while Naruto snickered.
"I see why it ran away." Hinata whispered to Sakura, who just smirked.
"Good work team 7, that's another D-rank mission under your belt, now for your next mission; you need to babysit a nobles son, then weed the academy gardens, then-" "No, no way, those missions are lame, I want a real mission." Naruto shouted cutting the Hokage off.
"Baka, your just out of the academy, D-rank missions are what all new genin do." Iruka said.
"Actually, I have a C-rank mission here, I think I'll give it to team 7." The Hokage said flicking through the papers on his desk.
"We'll do it, so what's the mission, rescue a princess." Naruto said exited, making Sakura roll her pearl colour eyes.
"Send him in." The Hokage said smirking.
Iruka walked over to the door and let in an old man, who was drinking Sake, this made Sakura wrinkle her nose in disgust and glare at the man.
"They're my protection, their just a bunch of bratty teens, I bet the shrimp couldn't even fight a cold." The man slurred.
Naruto looked at Sakura and Hinata and realised the man was referring to him, out of anger he went to rush forward, when Sakura tripped him.
"Baka, we don't attack clients." Sakura hissed down at him, making him cower.
"This Tazuna, he's your client, he's a bridge builder from a small village in the mist, and your mission is to protect him on his way back home." The Hokage said.
"Alright team, head home and pack, we'll be leaving in the morning." Kakashi said dismissing his team.
After packing, Sakura went out to train with Hinata's cousin, Neji, who was a part of the branch family like Sakura.
"Let's call it a day; it's starting to get dark." Neji said while catching his breath.
"Ok, Neji-san." Sakura said wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"So you and your team have your first C rank mission, right." Neji said as they walked back the Hyuuga estate.
"Hai, we're to protect some drunken bridge builder." Sakura said with a disgruntled look on her face.
"Just try not to do anything rash, ok." Neji said placing a hand on her head.
"I know, good night Neji-san." Sakura said bowing to him before entering her room to get some sleep.
"Good night Sakura-chan." Neji said heading towards his room.
The next morning Hinata, Sakura, Naruto and Tazuna waited at the gate for Kakashi to show, Naruto constantly whining about how he was always late and that he better get here soon.
'Poof'
"Yo, sorry I'm late; I was helping this old lady across the street." Kakashi said sheepishly, while rubbing the back of his head.
"Liar" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs, all a while Sakura sent Kakashi a death glare, Kakashi shivered at the glare.
"Alright now that we're all here, let's get going." Kakashi said taking the lead, heading out the gate and down the trail.
Not long after they left the safety of the village, they were attacked by the mist brothers (A.N. if I got there name wrong please tell me.), who were quickly taken care of by Sakura, who was in a very bad mood after waiting so long for Kakashi to show at the gate and listening to Naruto whine. After that they got Tazuna to spill his guts and tell them the truth about the mission, and then they were suckered into finishing the mission by Tazuna.
After disembarking the boat that took them safely across the water, they continued to head toward Tazuna's village. Then out of nowhere Naruto tossed a kunai into a bush.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" Sakura asked in a bored tone.
"I thought I saw something, I thought it might be a ninja." Naruto said walking over to the bush and pulling back the branches. There at the base of the tree sat a terrified white rabbit, Naruto's kunai pinned just above its head.
"Ah, I'm so sorry Mr. Rabbit; I didn't mean to scare you." Naruto rambled clutching the snowy rabbit to his chest, nearly suffocating it.
'That's strange; rabbits don't turn white at this time of the year, unless they're breed in captivity.' Sakura thought, her eyes narrowed on the rabbit. Suddenly a low whistling pierced the air and both Kakashi and Sakura's eyes widened.
"GET DOWN." Sakura yelled tackling both Tazuna and Hinata to the ground, just as a huge sword came flying through the air and pinning to a tree.
When they looked up, they saw a man standing on the hilt of the sword, he was wearing shinobi sandals, cameo pants, he wore a mist shinobi forehead protector to the side of his head and had bandages wrapped around his nose and mouth.
"Momochi Zabuza, rouge ninja of the mist village." Kakashi said stepping in front of Tazuna and the others.
"Hatake Kakashi, copy ninja of the leaf, heh, you've got yourself one sharp genin there, I wasn't expecting her to sense my attack." Zabuza said staring intently at Sakura.
"Sakura, Naruto, Hinata protect Tazuna, I'll take care of Zabuza." Kakashi said lifting up his forehead protector that covered his left eye.
"But sensei- "No buts, this opponent is too strong for you, protect Tazuna, that's an order." Kakashi said cutting Naruto off.
Getting into position, Sakura and Hinata both activated there Byakugan scanning the area for any hidden threats, whilst scanning the area, Sakura spotted a ninja hidden in a tree six meters from her.
"Kakashi-sensei, there's a ninja hiding in a tree six meters from me, I think he might be working with Zabuza." She said keeping her eyes locked his position.
"Go after him." Kakashi said while countering Zabuza's attacks.
With that said, Sakura took off towards where the ninja was hidden, releasing he had been caught; he took off further into the forest, until they came to a clearing.
"You may have been able to fool others, but you won't fool my eyes, you're working with Zabuza, aren't you." Sakura all but growled dropping into the Hyuuga fighting stance, Byakugan activated and burning into her opponent.
"I guess the rumours about the Hyuuga clan are true, there's no deceiving your eyes." He said taking out a handful of senbon, with precise aim he threw them at her vitals, she dodged with amazing speed and grace counter attacking with the gentle fist, slamming her chakra filled palm into his stomach, making him step back a bit.
As the fight carried on the boy, Haku, revealed his own bloodline limit; the ability to control and create ice, summoning ice mirrors, he was able to increase his speed, though Sakura easily followed his movement with her Byakugan, during the battle their chakra somehow mixed creating a rip.
"What the hell's going on?" Sakura said feeling herself being pulled towards the rip.
"Get away from there or you'll be pulled in." Haku said fighting against the pull, walking backwards away from it, though it was too late for Sakura, she lost her footing and was pulled into the rip. After she was pulled in the rip disappeared and Haku was left staring dazed at the battle field.
