CHAPTER FOUR:

NEW STUDENTS AND FRIGHTENING STRENGTH

Sakura's Point of view

I stood there, I had never felt so uncomfortable. Never. Everyone was staring and I didn't know what to do. Iruka-sensei had introduced me and I couldn't wait to get to my seat. Everyone was still staring when I was allowed go to a seat, I had practically ran to the seat that was open at the back. Class went on what I assumed was normal for them, we had ten minutes to get anything we had to get done, done in this lesson.

Something hit me. Square in the face. I looked up to see a blonde girl looking at me. She was fair-skinned and looked about average height, with blue eyes, her blonde hair was in a high-ponytail with bangs covering her right side of her face with a red clip in the left side of her hair. She looked oddly familiar too. Something about her face and eyes. I looked down to the piece of paper. Sighing I opened it up.

Sakura, did you live here long ago?

I looked at the note. For some reason I felt really happy but I didn't show it. I was to numb. I missed my friends. I missed my house. I missed the blood stained walls, the smell of my parents blood. I ignored the note from the blonde. I didn't want this.

"Hey, look Forehead is back!" my head shot back up. No, there was no way I lived here. That nick name was from that bitch who picked on me before we fled at night. "Where have you been? We've missed that forehead of yours." the girl had a dark purple hair and brown eyes. There was no way in hell, it was her.

I carried on staring at her. There was no way Kami was so mean to me. No way in hell this was her.

"Ah, look. She missed me!" the girl smirked. I blinked once. Twice and a third time before the bell rang. I watched as everyone got up and started to leave there were a few staying behind. I looked back to the girl. She seemed familiar but I was hoping I wasn't back home.

I looked to my schedule and saw I had to go outside to have a small training session of thirty minutes. Walking out side I heard people whisper and now and then I heard my name now and then. Must be the pink hair, I thought bitterly. I carried on walking and came outside where there was a group of kids talking. I stood there waiting for who ever was going to teach us.

Someone tapped my shoulder and I was met with a woman, she had light brown pupil-less eyes, and black hair which had a blue tint to it. She wore a tan overcoat with a purple in-seam, which had a pocket on both sides, and complete with a fitted mesh body suit that stretches from her neck down to her thighs. She wore a dark orange mini-skirt, a small pendant that looks like a snake fang on a thick cord rather than a chain around her neck, a wrist watch, and shin guards. She also wore a dark blue belt around her waist that connects to her skirt that has an appendage-like sash.

"So you're the new student?" I nodded. She smiled a goofy grin, wrapping her arm around my shoulders she pulled me away from the other students. "Listen, I know you're Tsunade-sama's student," she whispered. "We're doing combat and I want you to try to beat the shit out of a Uchiha for me. Can you try for me?" I looked at her, was she joking?

"By the way the name's Anko." she wasn't joking. I shrugged my shoulders. Maybe I could get some steam off by this. She smirked at my answer. I didn't like that smirk. She let me go and walked off. I stared at her and then shook my head.

"Uzumaki Naruto against Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru," Anko in a stern voice. Naruto? Maybe it was the same one. I closed my eyes and started to doze off, there was no way someone would interrupt me and Anko would want to put me and Uchiha at the end so it would be more fun.

I had no idea how long I was asleep for, nor did I care but whoever woke me up better run like hell.

"Ero-sennin!" yelled a very loud, a very annoying voice. I looked up and didn't see who ever it was the name belonged to. Settling comfortable against the tree again I started to close my eyes to sleep again.

"Hey Sakura." my eyes flew up at the voice. A voice I knew all to well, one I didn't want right now.

"Jiraiya-san," I stated. I looked up to see the white haired Sannin, the toad summoner looked down to me with a grin on his face. He hadn't changed one bit, though I knew he had a new book coming out soon. Or it was out, I didn't care.

A blonde boy came running up, he had the bluest eyes I had ever seen, he wore orange pants and a jacket that was both orange and black.

Orange. What kind of ninja-

You wear pink and red so shut up. Inner did have a point so I didn't carry on with the thought any further.

"Naruto," the toad summoner said. I looked back to the boy, he was the boy who Shishou lost her necklace to. I smiled, he was different to the boy I had imagined in my mind. I didn't think he would be so loud. I noticed another shadow and looked up to meet onyx eyes, those eyes were the same as the ones in the past. The boy had black chin-length hair that was spiky in the back with bangs, he wore a lavender long-sleeved shirt with dark blue pants that had a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees and a purple rope as a belt.

"Jiraiya-san, why are you here?" I asked, both boys looking at me with slightly wide eyes.

"Ne, Sakura that's no way to great me! I heard you were coming to Konoha so I came to see you," stated Jiraiya while ruffling my hair.

"Ero-sennin, you know her?" asked Naruto, he looked from the Sannin down to me then to the Sannin again.

"Yes, Naruto this is Sakura. Sakura this is-"

"I know. He's your student." he looked at me with a upset face, most likely he wanted to brag about him. Both boys looked at me.

"How do you two know each other?" asked the raven haired boy. I looked to Jiraiya and saw him pale and I break out laughing, holding my sides. Naruto and the other boy looked between us, the blonde paling slightly.

"Ero-sennin, you didn't," gasped Naruto and I only laughed harder.

"Ne, Naruto, be careful of him. He loves his hot springs," I stated as I calmed down from my laughing. Jiraiya paled even more if that was possible. I patted the Sannin on the back and then stretched.

"Sakura!" yelled Anko as she looked for me. When she saw me she pointed to me and the man besides her looked up from his book to me. He casually walked up to us with a hand in his pocket and an Icha Icha Paradise book in the other hand.

He had spiky white hair, and a dark eye, his forehead protector tilted to the left to cover his eye, and a mask which obscures the lower-half of his face. He wore the standard Jonin outfit.

"Kaka-sensei, what are you doing here?" I looked to the boys and then to the white haired man.

"Sakura-chan, will be joining our team Naruto," he stated. "I'm Hatake Kakashi, you've met Uzumaki Naruto and this is Uchiha Sasuke."

Ah crap. I thought when I hear the raven haired boy's name. I knew who he was. Yup I'm home alright. Note to self, talk to Tsunade about this.

"Great, another weakling on our team," muttered the Uchiha. I felt my eyebrow twitch. The word weakling echoing in my head. I clenched my fists and saw out of the corner Jiraiya moving back along with Kakashi. I looked up to my new teammates.

"Sasuke-kun," I started off noticing Jiraiya and Kakasi take another step back, they even pulled Naruto back with them. "I'll give you a chance to take that back."

The Uchiha looked at me, with no emotions what so ever. "You're annoying." the other two took another step back and dragged Naruto with them. I looked up to the Uchiha while sending chakra to fist.

Shannaro, yelled Inner and I.

I brought my fist up and it connected with that bastards face sending him flying and interrupting the combat that was happening now. I felt the vein in my head pulse as I stalked towards the Uchiha, picking him up by his shirt I hit him in the stomach, this time with out any chakra.

"Uchiha. Do. Not. Call. Me. That. Ever again," I growled each word as I hit him again. I let him drop to the floor and saw every one staring at me and taking a couple of steps back. I looked at Anko only to see a smirk on her face.

I walked pasted the others and headed straight past them, felt holes burn into my back by the class as Naruto just stared at me and then to where Sasuke was. I walked out the academy towards the Hokage Tower. I knocked on Shishou's door and walked in, both her and Shizune looked up to me and saw my rage.

"Who was the victim?" sighed Tsunade.

"Uchiha Sasuke." I saw her eyes widen in shock and then she smirked at me. Shrugged her arms and went back to her paper work with Shizune. "Are there any Haruno clans here?"

Tsunade looked up to me and the look on her face told me. I sighed and looked back up to her.

"I want nothing to do with them. I know this was where I was born." Tsunade nodded.

"You should get back to the academy. You have your special class to go to. Shizune, will you show her where it is? Oh and Sakura, I'll take care of the Uchiha clan. Also you might want to mention that you're my student to your classmates," explained Shishou. I nodded and then walked out with Shizune. It didn't take us long to get back to the academy and to find the classroom.

"Be careful Sakura-chan. Don't do anything stupid, ne?" asked Shizune, I nodded and breathed out.

What a fantastic day. What more could go wrong?
