"All right! We totally kicked ass!" a brown haired boy named Daren jumped in the air, fist pumping all the while. A dark haired girl that went by the name Kristy smirked as she carried the briefcase of money that they had won, illegally of course.
"Don't yell to loud, you'll attract coppers, dumbass" a blonde haired girl slapped him upside the head, a rifle on her back.
"So, Sakura-sama, where to now?" Kristy asked. Sakura was the pink haired leader of their little group of illegal street dancers, and they were good at it. They had met in primary school, Sakura being bullied along with the rest of them; the pinkette had been the first to stand up against the bullies.
Ever since then it had been them and them alone, by high school everyone was already scared shitless of their strength and when Daren and his brown haired brother Jack offered street dancing everyone agreed in a heart beat.
"We'll go to The House first and then Jack can scan the area for anymore jumps" the pinkette said. By 'jumps' she meant by dance competitions, they're group ruled the darker part of town and they never hesitated to prove it, they stopped hearts with their dances… literally.
Heart Stop, that was their group and they were famous. Bounty wise the group was worth roughly 600 000 yen, they had killed as well but no one knew our faces or names so everyone still went to school.
"This is the police! Put your hands up or we will open fire!" a microphone called out, lights were on them. Looked like they did know their names after all, Kristy looked at her leader who was smiling. Naturally everyone relaxed when they saw it, they knew this plan…

Splitting into random directions they ran, Sakura smiled at her crew as she ran. Knowing they would be fine she jumped onto a dumpster and leaped towards the railing of the emergency escape stairs, she grabbed said as her feet pressed against the underneath of the platform before pushing against it, she flipped and ended up sitting on the railing.
Smiling at the men chasing her she pushed herself off and kept leaping, from railing to window to light post to phone line to traffic lights to window and anything else that was above the ground. She knew that the police ruled the ground but up here she had a million different routes that they would struggle to follow.
She lifted her katana so it wouldn't catch on the barbed wire she was currently flying over, yes she had a bladed weapon and she knew how to use it, she also had a tanto. Her clothes consisted of a pair of baggy beige pants with a bunch of pockets and a black belt that had a belt bag to it. A black, sleeveless, skintight crop top with a red short-sleeved jacket that was rimmed white and had a white circle on the back, she had black and red shoes as well.
Her long hair was kept in a high ponytail by bandage wrapping, her hair reaching her thigh and flowing as she leapt and ran from the persistent little men in blue. Sighing she reached into her belt bag and pulled out a flash grenade, pulling the pin she flicked it behind her and made a sharp turn as it flashed.
She almost laughed at their surprised and pained screams, they were probably blind now, and made her way to the roof. They would expect her to be running as fast as she could to get away and she sure as hell wasn't going to fall for that old trap, ducking low she beeped her wristwatch to say she was in the clear.
She listened as the sirens and urgent yells faded as they left to look for her, or her crew, and she relaxed a little. Seriously, Sakura was beginning to think they just got dumber, she had pulled this trick at least six times and yet they still cant believe that she is directly above them? She was glad she wasn't on the 'good guys' side.
Closing her eyes she waited for her to be in the green zone, but of course something had to break her concentration. Opening her eyes she prepared a glare but instead stared wide at what she saw: a large white sphere was not three meters from her, it made no sound but a pressure definitely emitted from it, like an energy.
She rubbed her eyes and pinched herself but no, it was still there. Looking around she eventually walked up to it; walking around it a few times she stood directly in from of it. She knew this was stupid but her curiosity was eating her alive, she put her hand near it; it felt warm but not warm enough to burn.
She finally put her palm on it, her hand moved through it without any resistance. Suddenly Sakura was completely pulled in by the white light and the white ball disappeared, leaving no trace of the pink haired dancer.
When Sakura opened her eyes she expected to be at The House, not staring up at a canopy. She expected to be met with the sound of fighting and music, not the rustling of trees and sound of animals. No, Sakura was somewhere she was not meant to be… where was she?
A forest, she knew that much, the glimpses of the sun told her it was around noon and her current predicament told her she was lost. Checking her body for injuries Sakura sighed, no bone or muscles bruised or broken and she had her katana and her beige belt bag.
Standing up she dusted herself off and started in a random direction, staying on the ground was not her style and it made her vulnerable. She walked for about two hours before she heard noise, and it was heading her way.
Ducking down by a bush quickly Sakura gripped her sword. There were three of them; all reasonably large in mass and bore some sort of weapon, the familiar clinking of metal told this. They boasted about how they would raid some village that was to far away for the Hidden Village to respond before they left with their spoils.
Sakura had no idea what a Hidden Village was, nor where she was and she was beginning to question the timeline she was in. Brushing it aside she waited until they were out of hearing range, once safe she rose from her position and followed their tracks, maybe they could lead her to a town or something.
'A base camp? Dammit!' the pinkette thought as she spied them from her tree branch, sure normally her pink hair would be easily spotted but she had become an expert in hiding, and finding for that matter.
"Alright men, this village is far enough from the Hidden Leaf Village that we will be able to take their valuables and run off far enough to escape, and with the coming rain our scent will be washed away" the apparent leader yelled out to his men. Sakura looked up and saw that, indeed, it would rain soon and she also had to admit for a dumb looking bandit what he said was pretty smart.
"Sir" a man suddenly appeared and Sakura fought a gasp at his sudden appearance "there is a stranger hiding in that tree" the masked man said, pointing to the tree she was in. Most wouldn't hear from her distance but when your life is constantly in danger then your senses become pretty sharp, the leader smirked and stared at the tree she was in.
"Come out, we know your there!" he yelled, obviously trying to be intimidating. Seeing as there was no point in hiding Sakura leapt down, landing in a crouching position with her eyes closed. She waited a moment before opening her eyes to see arrogant and lust filled eyes, except for the masked man who looked curios and even amused. Her face remained relaxed and blank, her eyes showing mild boredom.
"Who are you?" he asked, crossing his arms to look foreboding but it did nothing for him in her eyes.
"No one who need be known if let be" she stated calmly, he seemed surprised by her answer but it quickly grew into irritation when he realized she had not answered his question.
"Don't you know whom you are speaking to?" he asked gruffly, Sakura just stared on.
"A bandit leader" she stated and he nodded, grinning arrogantly. She held back a sigh; she's cut down drug lords and politicians more humble than him.
"Yes, and you have arrived in the heart of our camp, you are severely out-numbered" everyone chuckled. Sakura stood in a battle read pose; hand on her sword handle, ready.
"But not out-classed" she stated, he and his men bristled at her short words. He yelled at one of his men to kill her, a brown haired brute stood up with a poorly cared for katana.
He ran at her, she just stood there and reached for her tanto instead. He swung and she ducked under, stabbing him in the back, which pierced the lung, he would be dead in a few minutes.
She grabbed a cloth and wiped her tanto clean of the blood but didn't sheath it, she knew better than to put away your weapon when the threat is still present. She watched and waited, soon enough more came and tried their luck, each one that challenged her died by her tanto since she had yet need to use her katana.
"Your quiet skilled in kenjutsu aren't you?" he questioned, she wasn't sure what he meant so she didn't say anything, best not to show incompetence to the enemy if one can help it.
By now over thirty bandits lay dead at her feet, wherever she has landed it sure wasn't a stranger to death and war. The leader stepped down from his stage and stood a good distance away from her, he would fight her next it seemed.
He moved and only Sakura's instinct that saved her from being impaled by a kunai, the two traded blows with neither gaining an advantage. The man threw his weapon and Sakura caught it before throwing it back, he sidestepped it and the blade dug into the tree behind him.
"For a girl you've got a lot of strength, and you don't even have chakra" he sounded impressed "tell you what, if you join me you can be second in command" he offered like it was a once in a life time offer but Sakura had been given a similar offer many times and she knew that none had intended to keep their word.
"How can I trust a man who tried to kill me?" she retorted, the leader frowned and grunted, "nevertheless I decline, I see no long term benefit" he seemed to argue but Sakura threw her tanto to stop his words and chased after her weapon, the man dodged and blocked the strong punch only to skid back and hit the tree. His head hit the hilt of her tanto and knocked him out.
Calmly walking over she retrieved her short blade and cleaned it before sheathing it, she glared at the other bandits and they backed away having lost their courage at the defeat of their leader, the masked man who had revealed her hiding place walked forward with a smile.
"Thanks for your help" he said, he was wearing a brown rag over his left eye and was wearing something similar to the rest of the thugs littering the camp, Sakura gave him a raised eyebrow and in return he pulled something out of his shirt, a metal plate attached to a long piece of blue cloth with a abstract leaf carved onto it.
"You were a Konoha ninja?" one of the men yelled, it seemed to hold great significance but Sakura really didn't care. This man had caused her unnecessary trouble and she even had to kill, sighing she check her phone while the masked ninja made some smart remark. No reception, fuck, so that means she's stuck here until she can find a way back… or bring them here.
Looking up she saw the men getting up, ready to kill the masked man by the looks in his eyes. Stepping in front of him with her hand on her tanto she glared at everyone, daring them to make a move, and they all froze.
"Sit down" she commanded and they all applied, scared for their lives, she turned to the older man "care to explain why you ratted me out?" she questioned and the silver haired male chuckled, scratching his cheek sheepishly.
"I needed a distraction to kill the gang leader and you were there, that was my mission, but I kinda lost track as I watched you fight and then you took out my target so…" he let the sentence hang there and she sighed.
"The leader still lives, he's just unconscious, you may fulfill your mission" Sakura said, he looked behind her and she turned her head and glared at the few standing up. She heard the sound of iron piercing flesh and knew the stranger had completed his mission.
"Now that that's done, shall we go?" he asked pleasantly and she nodded, going along with his act, and the two left the area while the bandits began fighting among themselves for the role of leader, they would all kill each other so they needn't worry about the village. They walked for a good few hours before he stopped and turned to her with a sheepish look, she hadn't taken her eyes off of him.
"May I change?" he asked with a chuckle, she closed her eyes and turned around. A few second later he gave the okay and she faced him, he had changed into a green jacket with many pockets and his clothes were dark. His headband covered his left eye and his mask was still in place, his face turned serious.
"Who are you?" he asked with a hard tone, it was more intimidating than the bandit leader.
"Sakura Haruno" she stated, he nodded.
"What were you doing following those men?"
"I was hoping they would lead me to a town"
"Are you a samurai?"
"No, but I am skilled in most blades"
"Which nation do you hail from?"
"None" he glared at her, obviously not believing her.
"Someone had to have taught you" she nodded at his words.
"My 17th great grandfather began learning how to fight on his own and taught his children, they continued down the line and now this technique has been made" she explained vaguely, he sighed after a long moment. He would just have to take her to Konoha and have her interrogated; she didn't have any chakra so she probably didn't know tree jumping.
"Can you travel fast?" he asked and he saw her smirk, she ran and jumped onto a tree trunk and pushed herself to another, quickly gaining height she made it to the lower branches with ease. He joined her and smiled at her, her face remained blank.
"Lets go"
Kakashi had been leading the female, Sakura, to the village for a good hour and she had been able to keep up. Her clothes were very different to what a sword bearer would wear but she did say that she had a family technique, she didn't seem to be lying but she had killed over thirty larger men without batting an eyelash.
"What's your name?" she asked, he looked back and smiled at her.
"Kakashi Hatake" he expected some sort of reaction, like: 'the Kakashi Hatake!' or 'the famous copy cat ninja?' or something around those lines but instead all he got was a nod; he deflated slightly at the lack of reaction. Either she didn't know, which was very unlikely, or she just didn't care… the latter was probably it.
Still… if she did know of him she would at least become more wary or something, so she didn't know. Had she been living under a rock? Or maybe she was confident enough to hold her own?
Deciding to find out he turned around and shot a fireball jutsu at her, her eyes widened but she jumped up to a higher branch and glared at him but her eyes showed she was amazed by what he did, as though she had never seen jutsu before.
'She went for the high ground, smart' he smiled but her eyes told him that he was in for a world of hurt; she had no chakra so she couldn't know any jutsu but she had considerable strength. She was skilled at close combat with swords and apparently taijutsu as well, looks like she wont be to hard to handle.
"Sorry, but I needed to test out your skills" he called out.
"Next time, tell me" was all she said as she drew her tanto, was she underestimating him? Oh well, her fault.
He threw a kunai, and she sidestepped, he threw a paper bomb, and she ran. It was obvious she didn't know what it was but didn't take the risk; she continued to evade him without taking her eyes off him. With her constant watch he wouldn't be able to use a clone very efficiently, she seemed to keep her distance to at least avoid a frontal assault.
He ran forward at surprising speed as he tried to disarm her, idiot. She twisted and turned, slashed and sliced, trying to land a blow. All the while watching his movements, she was becoming familiar with them, step to the left there, punch with the right here. He may not realize it Sakura has been able to read his moved the second he tried to fight her hand-to-hand.
"Your quiet skilled, ever thought of becoming a ninja?" he asked, she gave him a confused look but her focus remained on the battle. He himself was suddenly confused, how could she not know?
A hard kick landed in his gut and he crashed into a tree, making a small crater around him. Her grin of triumph turned into a frown of confusion when it poofed away into a log, she hit a log? But she was sure she had hit Kakashi, though he did breath fire so she guessed she shouldn't be overly surprised.
She felt something cold touch her throat and instantly knew he was holding a kunai to her throat, it seemed she had lost concentration. But when did he do that?
"When you kicked me I had just enough time to substitute before you attack hit the real me, this confused you-"
"And so I didn't pay attention to my surroundings" she finished and he couldn't help but smile, she could be a great kunoichi if the council and Hokage would agree.
"Right, lets get going, were almost there" he said and the two continued on in compatible silence.
"Welcome to the Village Hidden in the Leaves" Kakashi said, gesturing to the large gate. He smiled at how her eyes widened, suddenly she wasn't an intimidating woman but a curious child, and he found it rather adorable.
"This is a village?" she said in awe and followed him wordlessly; he chuckled as he pointed things out and answered her questions. It seemed as though she was from a different world, maybe she was from a remote village that had grown with different customs and she had decided to travel, either way he was enjoying his time with the pinkette while they made their way to Kage tower.
"By the way, why is your hair pink?" she seemed a bit annoyed by it but answered nonetheless.
"It's a genetic error, my dad had light colored hair and my mum had red and it seemed that the two genes fused which the doctors said was a rare case" she explained and he nodded, it was rare to have genes mix such a way that their child ended up with pink hair.
"We will be going to Kage tower to talk with the Hokage, Lady Tsunade" he added and she nodded, asking about different things and what a ninja was. He explained and a million more questions spawned from that, by the time he had gotten half way in his 'what is chakra' lecture they were already at the door.
He knocked thrice and waited for the 'enter' to resonate from the door, Sakura had to relieve her weapons to the Anbu and she did, albeit with a bit of hesitancy.
"Kakashi" a blond woman looked at him "who is this?" she turned her calculating gaze to Sakura, the silver haired man stepped forward as Sakura stood still.
"This is Sakura Haruno, she was traveling alone and came-"
"Hey Oba-Chan!" a loud boy yelled as he slammed the door open and by instinct Sakura reached to her hip only to remember her weapons had been confiscated, growling slightly she stood straight again since the boy obviously wasn't a threat.
"Naruto! Knock first!" the Hokage chastised and the blonde, Naruto, scratched his head sheepishly, he looked around her age she realized.
"I just wanted to say that our mission was finished" as he said his words two black haired boys about her age walked, one smiled a fake smile at her while the other just gave her a once over before deciding she wasn't worth his time, she silently glared at him but didn't speak.
"Well you'll have to wait for your report, Kakashi was discussing something more important" Tsunade said somewhat calmly, the blonde seemed to notice Kakashi just then.
"Eh? What about?" he asked and Sakura couldn't help but think he was either blind, or an idiot… probably both. Tsunade looked at Sakura and then Kakashi, he nodded, deeming it safe to talk about it in front of the three boys.
"As I was saying, she came across-"
"Who?" Naruto cut in and Kakashi sighed, gesturing to the pinkette standing quietly near the back of the room. The blonde turned his eyes onto her and they widened, he really didn't notice her.
"Naruto let me finish before you ask any more questions. Now, she was traveling and came across the bandit camp, she defeated around thirty men. All armed, all larger than her, and defeated then with just her tanto" he pointed to the two swords an Anbu held.
"Then what?" Tsunade asked, Kakashi grinned.
"The leader attacked her and offered her a place in the gang, she refused and knocked him out, I revealed myself and when they tried to attack she stepped in front of me and commanded them to 'sit down' and they obeyed!" he laughed a little "after that I completed my mission and we left, I did a quick interrogation and she answered without hesitation, we traveled to Konoha and I tested her skills, she would make a fine kunoichi if she is trained" he finished and the room remained silent.
"I see" the Kage looked at the pinkette "would you swear loyalty to this village if we were to adopt you and trained you to be a ninja?" she asked seriously. Sakura closed her eyes to think, she would probably be stuck here forever and her crew would be able to manage easily without her, she would be housed, fed and trained to learn all those cool techniques Kakashi told her about.
"Hai, Hokage-sama" Sakura said as she opened her eyes, staring determinedly at the fifth Hokage. The busty blonde smiled and nodded, turning to Kakashi with a serious look.
"You will be in charge of her training, you three will help" she pointed to each of them "I will expect regular reports, she will stay with Naruto until a place can be found for her, dismissed" they all bowed and left the room, Sakura taking her weapons respectively.
"So what's your name pinky?" the dark haired boy asked, the arrogant one. She glared at him a little but replied.
"Sakura Haruno, you gay-boy?" he growled at her but answered.
"Sasuke Uchiha" she laughed.
"I think I like gay-boy better" Naruto laughed and the shorter boy smiled, Kakashi just chuckled while Sasuke fumed "that's what you get when you call me pinky"
"I'm Sai" the paler dark haired boy said with his fake smile, she nodded and looked at the blond. He grinned brightly and struck a pose.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki and future Hokage! Believe it!" he yelled and she smiled, he seemed like fun. They walked and made conversation, Naruto would talk, Sai make a smart comment, Sakura would laugh, Naruto would talk more, Sakura would join in, Sasuke would make a snide remark and Sakura would retort.
"Bye Sai, bye gay-boy" Sakura waved as she followed the blonde. It was made obvious she didn't like the Uchiha, he reminded her a lot of the bullies of her past and he treated her worse than they did.
"This is my place" Naruto said as he opened the door, Sakura stared at the mess. She honestly thought that she would have better luck sleeping on the roof and actually wanted to.
"When you said you loved ramen I didn't think you meant this much" was all she could say so she wouldn't offend him. He grinned sheepishly and apologized for the mess, saying she could have his bed while he takes the couch. Thanking him she asked if there was anywhere she could train, he grinned madly and showed her to team sevens training ground.
"This is where we meet up and train, teme's probably here as well" Naruto said enthusiastically, she smiled as she clutched her beloved weapons "do you want to train with me?" he asked and Sakura nodded.
"Though I don't know any jutsu, or have any chakra so please don't use it to much?" she asked and he nodded happily, Sasuke was on the other side of the red bridge with Sai but the two decided to stop and watch. Standing on the sidelines they made themselves comfortable, waiting while the two took their stances.
Naruto attacked first; apparently he had a short patience span, and threw a punch. She ducked under and pulled her handle out and struck him in the gut, sending him skidding on his side a few meters. She fully sheathed her sword again and waited in a defensive stance, Naruto stood and summoned three shadow clones.
Recognizing that they were solid clones like Kakashi's she didn't waste to much energy on them, pulling out her tanto they poofed away with one swipe.
Naruto rubbed his head, he couldn't fight close up for the simple reason she could hit him away easily and three clones were gone in one swipe, well he'll just have to out-number her.
He summoned two-dozen clones and they went after her, he expected her to fight them but instead she jumped up and dodged her way passed them, then sprinted at him. His eyes widened as he hastily dodged her tanto, trying land in his own blows but he just ended up getting cut.
His clones came to his aid but she cut them down only when they tried to help, she was focusing solely on him and on the things around her at the same time. Kakashi was right; she would make a great kunoichi!
His feet were swept under him and he hit the ground, she knelt on his chest with her red handled tanto blade pointed at his throat, he raised his hands and she sheathed it. Smiling she offered her hand and he took it gratefully.
"You were great Sakura-Chan" blushing a little she thanked him but said that in a proper spar where he could use his jutsu he would probably win.
"You should just be a samurai, your moves aren't suit to a ninja and you obviously don't know much taijutsu" the Uchiha said with an air of arrogance, Sakura glared at him. Untying her blades she handed them to Naruto and gestured Sasuke to fight her.
"Prove it" was all she said, Naruto wisely joined Sai as Sasuke lunged at her. She dodged his moves, and added a few of her own as she let the rhythm of the fight flow through her body and, like a dance, she moved expertly.
She incorporated her dance moves into her fighting style, dance style, and she can proudly say she was a master of it. It was clear that these people had never seen this before and she used that to her advantage, she was giving the Uchiha a run for his money.
"What kind of style is this?" he finally growled as they pushed each other away, Sakura vaguely noticed Kakashi had joined them, but she just grinned at him.
Lunging again they traded blows, though eventually Sasuke overpowered her with his experience and training, she hit the ground and coughed blood. He smirked down at her and she glared, she may have lost but she wasn't above kicking him where the sun don't shine, he groaned in pain as he hit the ground.
"I count this as a draw" she said as she stood up, wincing as she did so and took back her blades when Naruto ran up to her. They went to the hospital while the Uchiha nurtured his broken pride and manhood.
"How does medical chakra work?" Tsunade smiled at her, she had escaped that dreaded office only to find the pinkette going to the hospital and offered to heal her and Naruto.
The busty blonde went into a lengthy lecture about medical chakra and the stoic warrior she had seen when Sakura first walked in her office had now changed into a curious child, as Kakashi had mentioned when the pinkette left.
"I don't know how you understood all of that Sakura-Chan" Naruto muttered shortly after leaving the hopsital, looking like a zombie. All of those big words had confused him and he didn't know what was going on but Sakura seemed to like it, was that some sorta secret language or something?
"When I was little I wanted to be a doctor" Sakura stated and he stared at her for a while.
"Why didn't you become one?" Sakura looked at him with a sort of sadness he was all too familiar with.
"Didn't get good enough grades" was all she said as the entered the apartment, Sakura jumped straight on the bed and removed her shoes, jacket, belt bag and blades and put them on the bed with her. Like hell she was going to leave her things in this mess, she wouldn't find her things for a month.
"You going to bed already? It only about six?" Naruto questioned as he looked out the window, the sun beginning to set. Sakura nodded at him; going under the covers she let her body relax.
"Rise and set with the sun, as is tradition" she mumbled as she fell under the spell of sleep. He stared at her for a while, she was something else, like a riddle he was trying to solve. Grumbling he scratched his head, he knew that she has had a pained past but it seems that she came out all right. Sighing he left to go train, maybe Kiba would be up for it.
When dawn broke Sakura was already up and bathed, Naruto snoring loudly on the couch with a blanket tangled among his feet and a pillow on the ground, leaving the house she was mildly surprised to see Kakashi there with an orange book.
"Yo" he said, she suspected that he would say that, nodding to him the two began walking. Once they reached the training ground for team seven he turned to her and put his book away.
"We will be activating your chakra today, after that we will work on chakra control and then we'll get to the basics" he said. She nodded with enthusiasm, until a certain Uchiha walked by, he smirked at her and she tried her best to ignore the dark haired youth.
The silver haired Jounin had her meditate for hours but Sakura showed no signs of chakra, Kakashi had said they could take a break but Sakura wanted to keep going and didn't stop meditating until the end of the day.
Just as it seemed Sakura was about to give up she suddenly stiffened, he sensed the small twinge of chakra at the base of her stomach where the coils were located. Her body began to flow with chakra at a smooth and steady rate; it flowed evenly through her body and eventually settled. It wasn't very strong but it was there, and with training it would grow.
"Very good, now lets start off with chakra control" Kakashi said. The next few hours were filled with tree climbing, pushing chakra to the hands, and hitting Sasuke every time he made a snide comment. By the time an Anbu came to summon Sakura and Kakashi to the Hokage's office Sakura was ready to fall asleep in the tree she was currently sitting, jumping down Kakashi decided to show her about tree jumping with the roofs.
Many stumbles and near-falls later they entered the office, Sakura officially tired yet still rearing for more. The female Kage smirked at Sakura, the pinkette knew she must look terrible, and turned back to Kakashi.
"I see you've been busy" she stated and Kakashi smiled.
"She's been working hard, her dedication will allow her to begin taijutsu pretty soon, once we've got water walking settled, she's already mastered tree climbing" the silver haired Jounin stated with pride, another student that had so much potential. If this keeps up he'll earn himself another name of a teacher of great ninja, that'll throw Guy through a loop!
"Very good, Haruno" Sakura stepped forward "an apartment has been found for you, the basics have been placed there, once Kakashi deems you fit to go on missions with him and his team you will be able to pay for your own necessities and will be living on a pension until then" Tsunade explained, offering a key to the pinkette.
Sakura took the key and thanked her; mentally she danced around with not having to live in that death trap of an apartment anymore. Kakashi poofed away after saying that she could have the rest of the day off, Sakura turned back to Tsunade.
"Lady Kage" Tsunade looked up "I believe it would be wise for you to know that I have killed before"
