AN: Hello, okay someone pointed out that they didn't know who Onoki was, so I'll tell you. Onoki is the Sandaime Tsuchikage. ~ Konohagakure no Sato, Three weeks later ~
"Kuruizaki-hime." Sasuke greeted as he sat across the white haired woman, and stole one of her dangos.
"Kuruizaki-hime?" Sakura questioned.
"Bingo book calls you Kuruizaki-hime." Tadashi said with a wolf like grin, as he handed the book to Sakura.
"Madly Blooming Princess? Why did they call her that?" Akihiko asked, as himself, Fumio, and Ryota.
"Because someone made a cherry blossom tree bloom out of season just to use it's petals to keep some Iwa shinobi, and their Tsushikage." Tadashi answered with another wolf like grin.
"How do you know that?" Ryota asked, smiling at Sakura as she gave him one of her sticks of dango.
"Because it says in the book." Sasuke told them.
"It also says to flee on sight." Fumio said, before he yawned. "How troublsome."
Sakura laughed.
~ Sungakure no Sato, three years later ~
Chiyo huffed as she stood on a sand dune, she could of sworn that Suna was right over this sand dune. But of course she could of be wrong, since the desert looked the same. Everywhere she looked she saw huge sand dunes, some cacti, and heat waves.
Though she had lived in Kaze no Kuni her whole life, she could swear the sun was hotter then ever before.
"Nee-chan, you've got us lost haven't you?" Ebizo asked, sitting next to her, as she stood trying to find the walls of Suna.
"No, I know where we are." Chiyo said, glaring down at her younger brother.
"Then where are we?" Ebizo asked.
"Somewhere in Kaze no Kuni." She said proudly, making her brother sweatdrop.
"We're going to die." He muttered to himself.
"Are you lost?" A soft female voice asked, making the siblings turn to see a woman sitting on the same sand dune they were, making both siblings jump at not noticing her before.
"How long have you been there?" Chiyo asked, making the woman chuckle.
Though she looked young, about twenty-nine, her white hair, and the look in her eyes made her seem older, Ebizo noted in his mind. He also noted that her clothes weren't made for Suna. She wore a short black kimono that was tied with a white obi, the sleeves were not as wide as most kimonos and the upper part of the sleeves were puffed, and low heel open toed sandals. Beside the woman was a large scroll.
"Long enough to know your lost." She said smiling.
"Where do you come from? Your not a kuniochi of Suna, and to not be bothered by the heat at all means you have to be a kuniochi." Chiyo said, narrowing her dark eyes.
"I come from Konoha." She answered, making the siblings get into defence stances. "I'm not going to hurt you, I was just going to take you back to Suna."
"Why?" Ebizo asked.
"In case you didn't know lady, we're at war." Chiyo said with a glare.
"One day, Suna, and Konoha are going to be allies, so why would I harm my future allies?" She asked.
"Do you really know where Suna is?" Ebizo asked, earning a glare from his older sister.
"Of course, follow me." She said, standing up, and brushing the sand on her, before she tied the scroll to her back, and began to walk down the sand dune.
The siblings looked at each other, before Chiyo shrugged, and followed after the white haired kuniochi, with her brother behind her.
"So how old are you?" Chiyo asked after awhile. "I'm thirteen, and Ebizo here is twelve."
"Shouldn't you ask my name first?" She asked in amusement.
"Okay, what's your name?" Chiyo asked.
"Sakura, and to answer your other question, I'm fifty-three." Sakura answered.
"No way!" Chiyo exclaimed, as Ebizo stared at her in disbelief.
"But you look twenty-nine." Ebizo said.
"The gift, and curse of being an immortal." Sakura answered easily, as she unsealed three canteens, handing one to each of the siblings, before tying the scroll back on her back, and taking a sip from her own canteen.
"So you can't die?" Chiyo asked, as she took a sip of water.
"Nope," She said, popping the p.
"That's so cool." Ebizo exclaimed, before blushing when both females looked at him.
"It's not as cool as you think." Sakura disagreed.
"How come?" Chiyo asked.
"Because you remain the same, while everyone you love grow old, and you know one day they'll die." She told them softly, her eyes unfocused, as she carried on walking towards Suna absently mindly.
Chiyo, and Ebizo shared a look, before they rushed to keep up with Sakura.
~ One days later ~
"Well here is where I leave you." Sakura said as the could see the walls of Suna on the horizon.
"How come?" Chiyo asked, with a frown, her brother wearing the same frown.
"Because like you said before Chiyo-chan, we are at war." Sakura said with a smile.
"Well when we are allies, you better come and see us, Baa-sama." Chiyo said.
"Baa-sama?" Sakura raised an eyebrow.
"Your old enough to be one." Chiyo said, turing her face away stubbornly, as Ebizo gave Sakura a sheepish look.
"I guess I am." Sakura laughed, hugging the two siblings, before in a swirl of sand she was gone.
"She has to show us how to do that." Chiyo said, making Ebizo nod, before they made their way towards their village.
~ Konohagakure no Sato, Three days later, Senju compound ~
Sakura appeared in the gardens of the Senju compound next to Kana, making the Inuzuka female jump, as well as Chou, Shika, Mito, Ayame, and Hisana, while Hikura grinned, and Ayaka smiled.
"Don't do that!" Kana growled, making Sakura give her a sheepish smile.
"Where the hell have you been?" Hikaru asked, sending the older female an annoyed glare.
"Just walking around the desert of Kaze no Kuni." Sakura said.
"You should of seen Tobirama-kun, Sakura-chan. You just said you was going for a walk, and disappeared. You don't know how worried we were." Mito scolded.
"You should of seen the academy kids." Shika added.
"They were all whining about how they wanted their Sakura-sensei." Kana said with a small laugh, as Chou gave Sakura a stick of dango, and Hisana gave her a come of tea.
"They'll be happy your back." Ayaka said, before she took a sip of tea.
Sakura smiled, and took a bite of her dango.
~ The next day, Konoha Ninja Academy ~
"Sakura-sensei!" Was the joyful shout before said woman was surrounded by children, asking questions about where she went, and saying how much they missed her.
"Okay, okay." She laughed. "I missed you too, but you have to take your seats, we have some learning to do."
Tobirama smiled from his place in a tree by the window before he left, knowing he had paper work to do.
