hi hi chapter 3

Naruto then left after Sakura to search for them. When he found them Naruto hid behind a tree. He overheard them talking.

"Why, why would you protect that boy?" Mizuki's voice was engulfed in rage. Iruka was on the ground hurt all covered in blood. "Why he is the one that killed your parents when you were young."

"it wasn't him who killed my parents those many years ago it was the nine tailed fox he was a baby at the time." Naruto then stood in fear because they were talking about a beast sealed inside his body. But Iruka didn't judge him of who he was like everyone else. In a way he was like Naruto. He also grew up without a family. When he grew up he too did a lot of pranks to get other peoples attention.

He was the first to accept Naruto for who he really is. Iruka then got sick of waiting. He was actually stalling for Naruto to escape. Mizuki then took out his last shuriken and threw it at Iruka. The shuriken then went flying threw the air. It then hit someone but this time it wasn't Iruka. It was Naruto, this time he was the one protecting Iruka. Naruto then got hit the same way Iruka did when Mizuki threw the first one. Naruto then on top of his Sensei started to cry. He never realized why Iruka was so kind to him. He also took him out to eat, play and hang out but Naruto was a little to blind by the happiness to see why. Naruto then got up and took the Demon Shuriken out of his back. "don't you ever, EVER lay a hand on my Sensei."

Naruto then threw the shuriken to the ground and did hand signs. Then all around him were his Shadow Clones. When Naruto released the Jutsu about one hundred clones appeared. Iruka then said still on the ground "this is what you must have been practicing." When all the clones surrounded Mizuki he then got scared. The clones then ran to Mizuki and they all beat him up.

****

Back at the Village all the Chuunin were gathered up again. They all complained that they couldn't find Naruto.

"it's all right Iruka found Naruto" The Third said it with ease to his voice.

****

When morning came Mizuki was on the ground all beaten up. Iruka then looked at him with disgust thinking that he was a fellow shinobi. Naruto and Iruka then moved away from him, Iruka then told Naruto to close his eyes. After a while he told Naruto to open them. When he looked up Naruto saw that Iruka's put his headband on him. "Congratulations you pass, you are now a ninja." When Naruto heard that he then got so happy he hugged Iruka-Sensei to the ground.

From afar Sakura was watching. She had the scroll attached to her back. All she did was stand there looking at the heart warming scene she knew would make her sick. When the sun started to rise she left without a smile on her face. In her heart she really didn't care for anything anymore. Minutes later Sakura appeared in front of the Hokage knelling with the scroll in her arms. She then got up with no emotion on her face what so ever. " so your precious scroll is back, i recommend this time its actually guarded and that it won't find it's way to another imbecile." Later on Naruto went home and Iruka took Mizuki to the Hokage. The Third then called for Sakura. When she appeared she picked Mizuki up and took him to the Leaf Village Maximum Security Prison.

3 weeks went by fast since then.

Today is the day all the new Genin have to take there pictures for profile. All the Genin are lined up one by one at the top of the Hokages tower. The first to take there picture was Sasuke, then Sakura, Naruto and so on. When Sasuke took his picture he had a cold expression on his face. The Photographer felt awkward to ask him to smile so he just took the picture. When he finished Sakura came up. When they were passing each Sakura murmured under her tongue "You Damn Uchiha." Sasuke then turned around in confusion when he heard her. When Sakura sat down to take her picture Sasuke then left. He never really understood Sakura when she says that or rather why. While Sakura was taking her place for the photo she gave the photographer a cold expression as well but it was darker than Sasuke's. Sakura gave a sad face as if all the joy was gone from the world or rather just her world. When the photographer saw her it gave him a cold chill down his back.

The chill stayed there until the photo was done. When Sakura got up Naruto came. His face was covered with face paint. Sakura wasn't in a playful mood so she walked passed by him fast to take off the paint without him noticing. When he sat down the photographer thought at least there's a decent kid who knows how to smile. When Naruto was finished he asked for a mirror to see if the paint didn't mess up but when he saw his face he was so confused. He didn't know what happened or rather when the face paint came of. Then he saw another person come up for there picture and he then left. He didn't know one bit that Sakura took it off.

Another week then went by fast.

Today is now the day that all the Genin are put into there groups. Each are put in a four man group that consists of two boys and one girl and also the Sensei that is assigned to them. All the Genin have to meet up in there classroom. The first one there was Sakura. Sakura is a morning person sometimes. Other days when she has nothing else to do, she sleeps in. Sakura arrived at the Academy at five in the morning. The sun was starting to rise. But before she left she made breakfast for Sora before he went to School.

As the morning went on, Sasuke showed up. When he came in he notices that Sakura was there as well. When he noticed her she turned around. Sakura didn't expect to see Sasuke there either. Once Sakura saw Sasuke she asked "what are you doing here so early in the morning?"

"I could ask you the same thing." Sakura was in a good mood so she at least responded.

"i got here at 5 and had nothing else to do is that a problem."

"well yeah who has nothing to do at 5 in the morning you should be asleep at that time. Any way mind if i join you."

"well since i am in a good moon and it is early in the morning, no i don't mind." Sasuke then sat down and was kind of nerves. He didn't know why, he always sat next to her in class or maybe the fact that he was never alone with her in a room before. Sakura then turned and faces the window.

An hour later Sasuke was wondering to ask Sakura why she always said 'you damn Uchiha' to him. Just when he was about to ask people started to come into the room. Sakura then said "it's about to get noisy and that you should go back to your seat, if no, there would be even more noise with some of the other boys."(sorry i have a habit of saying if no) Some boys in the class like Sakura and made noise about it as well with the girls. Sakura didn't want to be bothered. Sasuke then got up and went to his seat. When Naruto came in he sat near the front. Shikamaru then came in and asked Naruto why he was there because he saw that he didn't pass the exam. Naruto then showed off that he did pass the exam. Then Ino came into the room. She then went down to Sasuke. She asked if she could sit with him. Then all of the girls started to argue that they wanted to sit with Sasuke.

Naruto then got jealous because he wanted girls over him like that. Then Naruto stood bending down on the table in front of Sasuke. The girls were mad, they didn't like the fact that Naruto could stand up to Sasuke in that way. Naruto was staring at Sasuke with a strict stupid look on his face. Sakura then had a quick vision. After a while it finished, Sakura then got up from her seat and went toward Sasuke and Naruto. They both had eye contact going on for a while. The guy in back of Naruto pushed him back. When Naruto was falling Sakura grabbed Sasuke and pulled him towards her. Sakura pulled him so far towards her it liked like they were going to kiss.

Naruto then fell into Sasuke's seat. Everyone was then in shock. Sasuke and Sakura then started to blush. "what was that for." Naruto was in total confusion. Sakura then let go of Sasuke.

"you should be thankful or the first person you would kiss would be a boy. Both of you, also if I didn't do that you would have got beaten to a pulp by all of the girls in the class. Again your lucky I was in a good mood you damn Uchiha." Sakura then went to the bottom of the room.

When Sakura made it to the door Iruka came in "sit down everyone I will now divide you all into groups." He then saw that Sakura was in front of him.

"I'm leaving, I already now who's in my team and frankly I'm mad." Sakura then left. She went home to change her cloths into something that could show the sealed red rose. she had that habit, she didn't care that people saw it but she never did tell anyone what it really meant. Sakura then left and went to sleep on a roof where it was nice, peaceful and quiet.

****

Iruka was now announcing the teams, he was on Team 7. He announced "Team 7…. Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura." Naruto then got mad, "why do I had to be on the same team as Sakura and Sasuke?" Iruka replied that it was determined by the knowledge of each person into teaming them up. He said that Sakura got the highest and Sasuke got the second highest. Naruto got the worst grade in the whole entire class. Teams are paired up to see how smart and strong each individual to help the others on the team. Naruto was still mad, "so what the deal with Sakura. Is she really that important to be leaving class so early?" Sasuke was sitting right across from Naruto saying in his mind if only you new what time she came here.

"yes, she is…. She no longer has any reason to stay in the academy."

"what do you mean by that?"

"Sakura is stronger than everyone of us in this class as well as this school. she is also a very important person to the village as some of you may already now."

"Iruka sensei why is that?"

"naruto you should already now this but any way Sakura has the ability to look into the past, present and future. She saved the village from many wars. Up to now she has become very strong, strong enough to become the next Hokage." Naruto then stood in shock that she could become the next Hokage.

"but sadly Sakura does not wish to become Hokage because of the tragic accident that happened 5 years ago." Back to the roof Sakura then woke up and left. Back at the Academy Iruka was saying that the Hokage says "that she gets most of her strength from the mark on her chea……" Then out of no were Sakura popped out and slapped Iruka to the ground. "who gave you the right to talk about me so freely, you now the penalty." Sakura then turned to everyone "just forget what he said" But everyone then saw the curse seal on her chest. When she noticed she then covered it with her hand. Sakura then headed for the door but Naruto stopped her "why dont you want to become the next hokage, thats my dream." that statement was all it took to make her stop in her footsteps. All she did now was stand in place. "why cant you understand your dream is not my dream, you have your own goals and i have mine."

"so what are your goals then all mighty Sakura." everyone then staired at her come to think of it she never even mentioned anything at all.

"a....aa.....my goal what is my goal? what is my life meant to do in this world....?" then all of a sudden her beautiful green eyes went black, she was starting to tremble and the seal was becoming brighter. All she did was stand there in that cold, dark moment that seemed to much like her own personal hell just taking over her whole body.

"a.... ah....ahh.. my goal.... my life what does it mean." a single tear then rode down the side of her beautiful porcelain cheek.

Everyone all sat there in shock, all from the amazement of a very rare moment of weakness Sakura was showing. but not for very long. Sasuke then got up from his seat and ran down the stairs to Sakura.

"Sakura, SAKURA whats happening to you." sasuke was now in front of her with worry in his eyes. After a quick shaking she came back.

"ah its nothing just forget about it!" she then shoved him off and ran out the door.

"I-Iruka sensei what just happened?" Those were the only words that singly came out of his mouth for the rest of the day.

"I dont know Naruto i dont know."
