Recap: "Chuunin Exams Naruto." Sakura whispers to him, "I'll explain once they leave."

"Got it Sakura-Chan." Naruto whispers his reply to her.

The sand siblings leave but not before Gaara could give Sakura a look. The same look he gave Sasuke the time when she was weak.

"Sakura…" Sasuke says when he comes down off the tree branch. "How do you know them?"

"Uhh…."

*~*~*

"Well um…you see…" She trailed off.

"Come on Sakura were waiting." Sasuke smirked.

Think of something genius! If you don't were gonna be found out! Inner Sakura panicked.

Don't you think I know that! Outer Sakura shouted back at her. She looked back over at her two teammates. Sasuke had a victorious smirk. Damn I think he suspects something…

She then smiled mentally. "Well, like you have said before, I am the pathetic one. I need to know things or I'm completely useless." Hah his ego can't refuse that.

"Come on Sakura think of a real excuse."

"…", Sakura held up her hand about to explain, "don't care. I'll keep my excuse. Thank you. Have a pleasant evening." And with that she left them both confused. Staring at her retreating back.

"What the heck's wrong with her?" Naruto asked looking over at Sasuke who, like Naruto, was confused.

"Hn." And with that answer hanging in the air, Sasuke left the ally way.

"Pretty boy…" Naruto mumbled annoyed as he too left the ally way to go to his favorite ramen shop.

Meanwhile Sakura went home and found it was empty and cold. "Mom? Dad?" She asked worried. This is just like before…when I found them dead in the Kitchen…

Flash back (This has not happened in this version. Btw Sakura is 12 and the flashback was when she was thirteen from her old future,)

Sakura, was coming home late one evening. She was working a double shift at the hospital that day and she couldn't wait to go home take a shower and watch the movie marathon her and her family were planning.

She liked working the double shifts, it took her mind off of things that had happen and were happening. She was worried about Naruto, he was away, training with that pervy sage of a Sanin and if Sasuke was alright with Orochimaru. She was so worried about him that she needed something to take her mind off those depressing thoughts.

She arrived home and got her key out of her pocket. Her parents were such worrywarts. They locked the door even if they were home. God they have themselves a trained kunoichi living in there house and they think they need to lock the door? What do they take her for? An academy student?

She got out her key and was putting it up tp the lock when the door opened with a eerie creek. That's strange? Mom and Dad always lock there door. Upon closer inspection she realized that the door's lock was picked. "Mom Dad!" She shouted as she ran into the house, kunai ready. She looked around. The atmosphere in the house was cold and empty. It felt like a wing in the hospital where the patients that wouldn't make it were placed. The whole house felt like death.

She slowly crept into the kitchen where she saw the silhouette of a man standing over two other silhouette's. "Dad?" She whispered trying to keep her voice from shaking.

"Kukuku, hello there Sakura-Chan." A slithery deep voice asked laughing. "It's so wonderful to see you again. As the silhouette spoke the moons rays came into the window and shed some light into the dismal house.

Sakura gasped in horror as he eyes gazed at the blood by the mans feet. She saw three decapitated bodies. Horrified her eyes traveled upwards. She saw black, skin tight pants. As her eyes moved upward she saw three heads in the mans hands. She could slowly feel herself becoming sick, but her eyes continued upwards.

Hey eyes meet yellow slits. She back up in pure terror. "O-Orochimaru…" Her quivering voice stuttered out.

He was suddenly in front of her. "It was so nice to see you again Sakura-Chan, but alas I must take my leave." And with those final words he stabbed a sword right through her stomach and vanished. She fell to the ground and laid there slowly losing consciousness. But as her vision was fleeting she saw the bodies of her dead father, mother and older brother laying in they're own blood. She wasn't even able to utter a sob when her vision black out.

End of Flashback.

She ran into the kitchen. A wave of relief washed over the moment she got there. In the kitchen there wasn't any dead bodies but a note. The note told her that her mother, father and brother were on vacation and that they knew she would have wanted to stay home and train. They would be back after the Chuunin exams.

"Well that's a relief. At least there safe." She sighed. "Well, now that I have the whole house to myself what should I do?" The answer soon came to mind. "TRAIN!" And with that she darted out of the house to the training grounds.

*~*~*

The next day, Sakura was the last one on the bridge that morning. The three boys looked at her astonished. Well Sasuke hid his surprised face, (You know how Sasuke is. ;D)

"Sakura-Chan your late!" Naruto whined. "You're even later than Kakashi-Sensei!"

"Yeah I know, I planned to be late." She smirked. "For I knew Kakashi was going to be late like he always is, and I wanted to sleep a little later so yeah. It doesn't matter anyways…I was only a minute later than he was." She shrugged.

"How did you know?" Kakashi questioned her.

"Call it women's intuition. " She smiled as she walked past Sasuke. "Now Kakashi-Sensei are you going to tell us whats in store for us today?" Her smile then grew, knowing it would piss off Sasuke that she knew something he didn't.

"Oh right." Kakashi cleared his throat. "There is an exam coming up, its called the Chuunin exams. It's an exam that consist of three test that will see if you are Chuunin level. This exam is held in many other villages besides our own village. This is a very important exam for numerous reasons. One it brings all the hidden villages closer. Two it separates the best of the best from the others. "

The last sentence captured Sasuke attention. He looked over at Kakashi without turning his head.
