Chapter 11 Bad training day for Sakura
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but I own this story.
Bold letters inner Sakura
Ryo knock on the door but no reply came it didn't surprise him at all after all it was quite early in the morning, he then open the door to see the most beautiful sight ever Ino was sleeping soundly in her bed. He stood there admiring the sight she truly look beautiful and she was more beautiful when she was asleep, too bad that he had to wake her up he gently started shaking her in a attempt to wake her up.
"Ino wake up it's time to start your training"
The platinum blond started stirring as she slowly mumble something that Ryo didn't understand but it had to do with the dream she was having, oh yeah she was having the most wonderful dream ever. She was wearing a princess gown while Ryo was wearing a prince uniform and they were both dancing in a fancy party, everybody was having a good time and laughing while Ino felt like she had died and gone to heaven. Suddenly Ryo was about to kiss her while she was gladly waiting to claim his lips with her own, that is until she heard his voice telling her to wake up. She slowly open her baby blue yes to meet the beautiful onyx eyes of Ryo she couldn't help but blush at the proximity, she slowly got up from her bed maybe she was still dreaming.
"Good morning sleepy head" he smiled at her.
"Good morning Ryo" she said still feeling sleepy she then look at her window and saw that it was still dark" hey the sun still hasn't come up yet"
He chuckle at her comment" I guess it hasn't because it's three o' clock in the morning"
"WHAT" she shouted in pure shock" what do you mean it's three o' clock in the morning it's too early to train"
"Nope this is the perfect time to train as ninjas you never know when you might get attack you might even get killed in your sleep so you always have to be prepare"
"In Konoha we don't wake up this early in the morning" she said grumpy while crossing her arms over her chest.
Ryo smirk" well this isn't Konoha is it so now it's time to wake up"
"I don't want to" she covered herself in the sheets while Ryo sweat dropped.
He sighed while getting the sheets away from her" come on Ino don't be like that you're supposed to be a chunin and a responsible ninja so start acting like one…" he paused while seeing Ino she was wearing a short white sleeveless blouse showing her belly and her nice stomach, he notice she was in her white panties she look very nice and sexy.
He blush damn she was hot seeing the Yamanaka getting up, he notice that the short blouse made notice her cleavage well. Ino has notice where exactly he was staring at and smirk devilish taking a chance to tease him.
"See something you like Ryo?"
He blush harder while Ino giggle (oh he looks so cute when he's blushing)
"Well if you don't mind I'm going to change that is if you want to keep looking at me in my sleeping clothes" she smirk.
"No of course not I don't mind I'll wait for you at the kitchen I will make breakfast" he then left the room (Ino is very lucky I didn't get to use the morning call) he saw Seiryu walking pass him" good luck with Sakura Seiryu"
"Thanks" he replied with a smile as he reach for the room next to Ino's where Sakura was staying he knock on the door twice once he heard no reply he open the door.
He saw the pink hair kunoichi sound asleep for a moment gazing at her sleeping figure she really look amazing, he went next to her as shook her lightly" wake up Sakura it's time to start your training"
"What the hell do you want?" she said in anger trying to get to sleep again.
He sweat dropped at her comment looks like she wasn't a morning person he sighed" come on Sakura wake up we have to start your training"
"What hour is it because I still feel sleepy?" she said in a menacing tone.
"It's three o' clock in the morning"
He had to dodge a couple of kunais from Sakura as she got pissed at this, she went back to sleep not bothering waking up again.
"Leave….or die" she said trying to control her anger.
"I am not leaving until you wake up now get going rise and shine"
She growl as she cover herself with the sheets making the mist jounin sighing" Sakura please wake up"
No reply from Sakura.
"I'm warning you Sakura don't make me do something I might regret"
Still no reply from the pink hair kunoichi.
He sighed (oh well I guess it's inevitable I will have to use the wakeup call sensei used to give us) he then made a couple of hand seals.
"WATER STYLE WATER MISSILE JUTSU"
Sakura made a loud scream as she felt her whole body getting hit by a strong wave of COLD water making her fell down from her bed, at the same time Ino enter the room hearing the screams of her best friend her eyes widened in shock at what she was seeing.
(Oh my Seiryu you are so dead) she thought in horror knowing Sakura's temper.
Seiryu went to Sakura giving her a big bright smile" well are you ready to wake up now?"
(Five minutes later)
Seiryu was running through the village like his life depended on it he was trained by Genjuro a very strong jounin from mist, together with him and Ryo they have fought powerful foes and demons but now he was facing something far worse than any demon he has ever face before. He was so scare that he was running like there was no tomorrow, a few feet away from him was the most terrifying sight he has ever laid eyes on and that was the sight of a very pissed off Haruno Sakura running to him at fast speed dying to get her hands on him so she can beat the living hell out of him. Now for Sakura since she wasn't a morning person to begin with she consider the idea of being waken at three o' clock in the morning follow by getting hit by cold water was the ultimate sin, she was going to enjoy beating him up and she was going to take pleasure by using him as her own personal punching bag. He quickly increase his speed by adding chakra to his feet he needed to get away from this living nightmare, his eyes widened in terror he has reach a dead end in a alley looks like he was a goner after all.
He spotted a couple of barrels and it was very obvious hiding spot but right now he had nothing to lose, he open then lid of one of them and hid himself praying to Kami so she didn't find him. He suddenly felt the huge killing intent coming from the one and only Sakura as she reached the alley; she looked at the surroundings and realized he wasn't there. Seiryu was trembling he has never seen a woman getting so angry like this before it was inhuman and scary, he thought that demons were scary but THIS it was scarier that anything he has ever seen. He felt his heart beating fast trying not to make a move if she finds him he's as good as dead, he notice that the footsteps were gone it seems she has left the alley he felt so relief. He slowly open the lid of the barrel looking at every direction making sure the pink devil wasn't around, once the evil pink demon was nowhere in sight he left the barrel and started to leave the alley.
"Hello Seiryu" a calm and yet evil voice said.
The black haired jounin felt really scare recognizing the owner of the voice, he turn to look behind him to see Sakura glaring at him with an evil grin now he knew she was scarier than a demon.
"Ready to die?" she ask in a cold tone.
(Oh crap) he thought as he dodged the incoming punch from the pink hair kunoichi.
He left the alley running for his life he saw how her punch destroyed the entire ground like her fist were made of pure steel, it wasn't so bad for Seiryu now he knew that women can get very scary when they are angry and also.
(She's insane)
Back at the house Ino and Ryo were having some breakfast to start the day; Ino was really enjoying the food it was very good who thought that Ryo could make something so delicious, she made a mental note that once Ozoki Ryo has passed the Yamanaka boyfriend acceptance test. Ryo on the other hand wasn't thinking about the food or Ino for that matter he was thinking about his friend Seiryu, it's been thirty minutes since he saw him running for his life from the angry Sakura and also they're breakfast was getting cold.
"They've been gone for a while now"
"Huh yeah I guess but don't worry they'll be back soon" Ino said cheery while taking another bite from her rice ball" mmm Ryo this is delicious you're amazing at cooking"
He blushed from the compliment" thanks cooking is also a requirement to become a great ninja I like cooking different dishes sensei has taught us in the culinary arts too"
"Oh really" she said interested (wow so Genjuro-sama has also taught them to cook he must be one hell of a teacher)
Ryo sighed as he gaze at the empty seats next to him which suppose to be where Seiryu and Sakura get seated" I hope they get back soon I don't want to throw that food away it's not nice to throw away something you work hard to make"
"I'll say I wouldn't like to waste food that I have made especially when it's delicious" the bleach blond said as she finish her rice ball.
"Sakura was sure angry with Seiryu wasn't she?" he chuckle remembering the look in her face.
"You have no idea I can't blame Sakura though I mean you woke us at three o' clock in the morning and he use a water jutsu on her to wake her up"
Ryo smirk" yup that's sensei's wakeup call back when he was training us we hated it so much especially Seiryu he really hated that he was really upset with sensei man that sure brings back memories"
"Well it's an effective wakeup call but unfortunately for Sakura it was extremely effective all I can say is it was nice meeting Seiryu"
"Huh what do you mean by that?" he ask puzzle.
"Let's just say that Sakura has a bad temper and that stunt that he made her will be the death of him" Ino said with a grin.
Ryo was shock" whoa so she's that scary when she's angry that can't be good" he said in amusement.
"Yeah either she will beat the living hell out of him or she will kill him" (I feel sorry for him)
"Is that so?" Ryo said in amusement (I wonder if I should tell her about Seiryu's temper he can get quite scary when he's angry too)
Back with Seiryu
Seiryu has finally reach one of the training fields of the village he didn't wanted Sakura to destroy the village, which most likely the villagers would blame him because they hate him and the most important thing is that he had just had enough with the pink hair kunoichi. He was not happy and he's patience has finally reach his limit he was going to face her like a man and as an equal, this was also a chance to test her strength since he was going to train her until Genjuro returns from his mission. Somehow a voiceon the back of his head was telling him he was going to regret it. He shivered in fear without showing it seeing Sakura arriving at the training field, Sakura on the other hand grin in satisfaction finally catching up to her prey this was her chance to finally have some sweet revenge for what he did to her.
"Sakura I can tell that you're angry with me" he said calm.
"Really what was your first clue" she replied in anger.
"You look like you want to kill me"
"Yeah that's exactly the point you psycho waking me up at three o' clock in the morning and you hit me with cold water that gives me plenty of reasons to beat you to death"
"Welcome to the hidden mist village Sakura it's a real hell, you know I prefer to call it the hidden bloody mist because of its dark nature under once the rule of the third Mizukage although I'm not allow to talk about that"
"I already know why it was give that name Seiryu I heard it all from Zabuza" she said still feeling angry.
Seiryu was really surprise" what you met Momochi Zabuza the demon of the hidden mist and formal seven shinobi swordsman, you met that terrorist I heard from rumors that he was killed in the land of waves"
Sakura's eyes softened remembering that memory" I know I was there"
Now Seiryu was really shock" what…..Sakura you were there….then….did you killed him?"
"No it wasn't me but I was part of the genin team that travel to the land of waves on a mission to protect a bridge builder from being killed by Zabuza, that's right it was team seven from Konoha who got that mission it was supposed to be a C rank mission but it turn into an A rank mission with the threat of Zabuza"
"And yet you're still standing in front of me alive how did you survive an encounter with him?"
"Well it was actually my team how did most of the work as always" she tighten her glove fists" back then I was the immature useless fan girl who was nothing but a burden to the team anyway to put it short, we faced him and it was our sensei Kakashi who beat him" she got a flashback how Zabuza was defeated dying besides the ninja Haku it was one of the saddest moments she has ever seen as a ninja next to the death of her blond teammate.
"Oh so it was Kakashi the one who killed him the village was celebrating when they heard the news of his death" he said in a growl (but frankly I wasn't quite happy with it after all he was fighting to get rid of the third Mizukage who was a power hungry bastard) he saw that Sakura was no longer angry" Sakura are you feeling better now?"
Suddenly her jades hardened and glare back at him" you're little plan didn't work Seiryu trying to make me forget about your little act I'm still going to beat you up"
"Whoa hold it my plan what are you talking about it was you who brought Zabuza not me"
"Yeah but you were the one who brought the comment of the hidden bloody mist" she smirk back at him.
He chuckle" I wasn't expecting you to know about it but anyway how about we cut the talk, there is a reason why I brought you here since you're angry with me might as well test what you can do how about it?" he got into a fighting stance.
Sakura gave a sadistic grin that resembles Mitarashi Anko" Seiryu are you challenging me to a fight?"
"Well yeah I am going to train you so I have to know how strong you are before we can begin with the training"
(CHA he's digging his own grave) inner Sakura said.
"Whatever you say Seiryu you are making a big mistake but then again this is the perfect way for me to get even with you all right then bring it"
"Show me what you got"
Sakura answer his question by making quick hand seals turning herself into cherry blossoms petals.
(This is a genjutsu I have to do something she can't use it if she can't see me) he quickly made hand seals.
"NINJA ART HIDDEN MIST JUTSU"
The entire field was now covered by thick mist but Sakura wasn't intimidated by his course of action.
"I already seen this technique before thanks to Zabuza"
Seiryu grin" then you know it's pretty hopeless because you can't see me but I can" he quickly made hand seals.
"It's not hopeless" came Sakura's voice from behind him while his eyes widened feeling a kunai on his throat (no it can't be)
"How did you….." he trailed off too shock to say another word.
Sakura smirk" it's true the hidden mist jutsu makes it impossible for anyone to see even with someone with a dojutsu however, just like you I have master to gather chakra around my body aside from my hands and feet to enhance my senses thanks to my perfect chakra control all I have to do is focus the right amount of chakra in my ears allowing me to hear even the faintest sound like your breathing isn't that right Seiryu"
The mist jounin was shock but he was really impressed with her skills (amazing she's a genius it takes a while to master chakra control around the body but she seems that it didn't took her that long to master it if it's true that she has perfect chakra control) he chuckle" well done Sakura I am impressed you're supposed to be a chunin but I feel like I'm fighting a jounin"
The pink hair chunin smirk in amusement" you mean like you fought a jounin because this fight is over Seiryu now give up" she tighten the kunai around his neck"
He chuckle again like he wasn't faze at all" no the fight is only beginning" he then turn into a splash of water shocking her.
(A water clone so that was the jutsu he made I heard him doing hand seals before I got him, he was expecting me to see through the mist thinking ahead of me he is a jounin after all)
She was surprise to see that the thick mist has clear out revealing the training field, Seiryu was standing in front of her with a smile that said I'm going to enjoy this fight the same with Sakura.
"Are you ready Sakura?"
"I am always ready HELL YEAH" she punched the ground destroying it completely making Seiryu to jump out of the way.
He landed on a tree branch with a sweat dropped on the back of his head (damn she's strong I guess going easy on her is out of the question fine then) he grin at her but gasp seeing her charging at him with tremendous speed (oh crap not she's strong but fast too)
Sakura launch a punch at him but he dodged it countering with a fist of his own, Sakura dodge it taking a kunai from her pouch Seiryu did the same and they clash kunai with kunai. Both were struggling to break free while their eyes met jade and emerald green were staring at each other deeply, Sakura grin this was just a taste of things to come.
"What's wrong Seiryu you're not taking me seriously you will be beaten if you keep holding back"
"Look who's talking your holding back yourself too why is that don't tell me you have a soft spot for me" he smirk at her while she glare daggers at him.
"Right now I'm pissed at you because you woke me up at three o' clock in the morning with cold water fine no more holding back HELL YEAH"
Seiryu's eyes widened when he saw chakra pouring from Sakura's fist breaking the hold, he quickly unsheathed his sword making it glow blue creating water he then made a one handed seal.
"WATER STYLE WATER CLONE JUTSU"
From the water of the sword six water clones emerge facing Sakura while the pink hair kunoichi didn't look faze at the fact that he made a hand seal one handed, she has already seen it before courtesy of Zabuza.
"So it's a clone fight you want fine by me" she made a very familiar cross hand seal" SHADOW CLONE JUTSU"
Five Sakura clones appeared besides eating ramen and saying believe it she wanted to honor Naruto's memory by learning his first and signature jutsu the shadow clone jutsu (I can't make a lot of clones because I don't have a lot of chakra like Naruto but I can still do his jutsu now watch me Naruto)
The six water clones charge at the five Sakura clones they were both evenly match as they use their taijutsu skills, Seiryu decided to test her temper it seems she has forgotten about the rude awakening he gave her. The real Seiryu lock kunais with her, not taking her eyes off her he gave her playful smirk.
"You're very strong Sakura I guess I regret waking you at three in the morning I should've waken you at one in the morning" his smirk grew wider seeing her reaction which obviously it got her pissed.
"AH SEIRYU YOU ARE SO DEAD CHA"
The clones charge at him they all punch the water clones destroying them but this gave Seiryu the advantage he needed, he took his sword using its power of water he made another one handed seal" WATER STYLE WATER DRAGON JUTSU"
The water dragon hit all of the clones making them vanish his eyes widened in shock (what the, they were all clones but that's impossible…then where is the real one?)
Suddenly from the ground emerge a fist but Seiryu barely dodge just a few inches from his face, he manage to catch her fist but she used her other one this time charging it with chakra. He gasp as he made a back flip dodging the powerful attack that hit the ground and turn it to rubble, she charge at him and started punching and kicking him but he dodge all of her attacks.
(No matter what I can't let her hit me or I'm finish)
"Seiryu you will pay what gives you the right to wake me up at so damn early in the morning" Sakura said angry while sending a barrage of punches and kicks.
That was the last draw for the mist jounin his temper has finally gotten to him (what THAT'S IT)
In a blink of an eye Seiryu has caught Sakura and pin her to a tree, she didn't saw it coming he was so fast and now she was staring into his emerald eyes that right now they were full of anger. She gulp a little she has let her temper get the better of her, she knew she didn't have the right to go berserk on him like that after all her temper grew worst when she became Tsunade's apprentice. Seiryu growl while glaring at the pink hair kunoichi, he gaze into her jade eyes that right now they were filled with fear begging him not to do something that he might regret later.
"Now you listen to me and listen good I have had it with your temper, have you forgotten that you're not a little girl you're sixteen and a Konoha chunin not a spoiled brat the reason why I woke you so early in the morning is so you could learn to be aware and awake at any hour of the day. As ninjas we could get attacked in our sleep and probably we will get killed, this is an exercise that will help develop your instincts and intuition so you can be asleep and aware of your surroundings always"
"But still you didn't have to hit me with cold water you can't do that it's NOT RIGHT" she yelled the last part but once again she has made a big mistake.
Seiryu tighten her grip on her making her yelp in pain" as off right now I AM YOUR SENSEI and you're my student and if I say you will woke up at three in the morning then YOU WILL WAKE UP AT THREE IN THE MORNING ARE WE CLEAR?"
Sakura glare at him he just yell in front of her, she has never let someone else yell at her and tell what to do with exception of her master Tsunade but no one else will dominate her. She was a bit proud when it comes to that to always be the one to have control, but now the whole game has taken a twist around not just Seiryu has made her angry but he has stood up to her not giving a crap how angry she gets he was ready to face the terrible consequences. For once in her entire life Haruno Sakura was VERY angry how dare he hold her like this pin her to a tree and yell at hereven if he's her new teacher he still has NO right to treat her like this, she wanted to beat the living crap out of him she wanted to bite him like a mad dog and also she has never felt so attracted to a man before. Yes that's right Sakura was no longer feeling any anger towards Seiryu but she was so attracted to him, she was now blushing slightly while her heart skip a beat right now she didn't minded at all if he had her pin to a tree he could have her pin down forever for all she care for.
She stare into his beautiful eyes they were gorgeous the way he had control over her make her feel weak in the knees, she felt so alive while wanting to hold him in her arms and give him a big kiss. She snap out from her daydream while looking back at him, this was not right she couldn't be possibly falling for her new sensei it's true that he was only two years older than her and he had a killer body but this was forbidden this won't help her in her goal for revenge. Seiryu on the other hand was a little confuse one moment she was glaring at him to dead and now she staring at him while her jade eyes were shinning, something must bothering her his anger faded and he was now worry for her.
"Sakura are you okay?"
"Huh what?" she said snapping from whatever perverted fantasy she was thinking off.
"I said if you're okay you look like you space out a bit"
"Huh oh yeah I'm fine don't worry about it" she laugh nervously.
"Okay well Sakura remember that when I chose you to be my student you are now taking orders from me and from now on you will wake up at three in the morning whether you like it or not are we clear?"
"Yes sensei" she said while nodding.
"Good now that was a nice match very impressive you have a lot of strength and speed and you also caught me by surprise with diving into the ground, it wasn't till the last moment that I realize that you use a genjutsu to conceal yourself with the clones so that you were able to get yourself underground"
"But still you dodge my punch" she said with a smirk.
"If I didn't I would have been knock unconscious or worst you are very strong I have to be careful when I'm sparring with you"
"I'm looking forward to train with you Seiryu you were pretty good yourself too" she smile while her inner self was having a nose bleed while drooling at the naughty thoughts that were invading her mind.
(Mmm yeah you look so good to eat)
"Well you must be hungry how about we get some breakfast?"
"That sounds good to me where should we go?"
"I doubt that by now Ryo must've throw away the breakfast he made for us so maybe we should go somewhere to eat" (Ryo is probably angry that he had throw away the food he made for us)
"Okay then let's go but you better be taking me to eat some ramen" she replied with a smirk.
Seiryu sweat dropped at her comment (no way what kind of person eats ramen for breakfast?)
They left the training field while Sakura look back at him with a smile (this is going to be one tough year)
(I don't care as long as I get to see him naked)
(I am not listening to you now leave me alone)
Her inner self responded to her by blowing her a raspberry and she completely ignore it sometimes her inner self could be very childish at times.
In another training field
Ino and Ryo were about to have their sparring match just like Seiryu he needed to find out how strong was the Yamanaka, if she was worthy to train he was going to take her under his wing but he didn't care if she wasn't strong enough he was still going to train her after all he was given the chance of the life time a chance to know Yamanaka Ino better. Ino was feeling happy after tasting that delicious breakfast by Ryo she had enough strength to fight a dozen matches, now she needed to prove herself that she was a capable kunoichi to be trained by him and while she's at it might as well win him over and put him the official Yamanaka Ino's boyfriend seal tag. She giggle in her mind as she got ready to fight him, this was going to be the best mission in her entire life while she gets strong in training she gets a boyfriend at the same time two for the price of one a better deal if someone would ask her.
Ryo put his bow near a tree along with his sword he went back to his position facing the bleach blond" all right Ino how about we have a regular match long range weapons and jutsu any kind of fighting style"
"Fine by me I'm ready when you are"
He nodded as he stood still looks like he was going to make the first move after all (time to test her reflexes if she's really a chunin she should be able to deflect kunais easily)
Ino fix her gaze as she quickly saw Ryo taking a kunai from his pouch and threw it at her with intense speed she reacted the same speed and block it with a kunai of her own, the kunai however was able to make a small scratch in her face.
Ryo smirk (not bad looks like she has great reflexes I can teach her to react even faster, I think she has great potential to become a very skilled archer)
(He's fast if I didn't reacted quick enough I would have lose an eye) Ino thought as she cheek the small scratch on her cheek (great no beautiful face is ruined oh well it is training I can't expect not to get a single scratch or get dirty)
"Nice Ino you reacted quickly to deflect my kunai"
"Not quick enough" she said while he notice the small scratch on her right cheek" now it's my turn" she quickly form hand seals" NINJA ART COVER IN FLOWERS JUTSU"
Ryo gasp seeing that he was cover in purple flower petals they were all coming from Ino (this is an advance genjutsu and I'm not going to find out what does it do) he made a hand seal "RELEASE"
The illusion vanished but he was caught off guard as he saw Ino standing in front of him with a kunai pointing to his neck (what the when did she….) he trailed off as the bleach blond smile at him.
"I was expecting you to release the genjutsu giving me the chance to I need to beat you" she grin at him.
His eyes widened" you…you used the genjutsu as a distraction waiting for me to drop my guard and damn it worked"
The platinum blond smirk at him she could stare at his handsome face forever but she was in the middle of a sparring match so she will do it later" it's over Ryo I win"
"Are you sure? Never get overconfident Ino" he quickly took a hidden kunai from his wrist hitting her kunai.
Ino jump back in time to see him throwing more kunais at her she took another kunai and reflected all of them, now he was taking her seriously she kept her gaze making sure what was going to be his next move. He saw him making hand seals she charged at him but it was too late, he has performed the jutsu.
"NINJA ART HIDDEN MIST JUTSU"
Ino saw that she was cover in a thick mist impossible to see looks like she was helpless now; Ryo could come at her no matter what, and she was right she then saw felt a kunai touching her neck slightly and stare at the handsome face of the mist jounin Ryo.
"How the tables have turned isn't that right Ino?" he smirked playfully at her.
(Damn he got me I guess it's over……no I can't lose I have to prove to him that I'm worthy of being trained I remember Anko sensei saying something about if skills failed use your looks) she smirk in her mind knowing exactly what she was talking about.
Ryo blink as he notice Ino winking at him follow by blowing him a kiss, she then lick her lips very sensually. Her little stunt seem to have an effect on Ryo as he blush bright red staring at the gorgeous bleach blond, he felt like he was under a spell the spell of Yamanak Ino while she smirk this was her chance since he has drop his guard again.
"NINJA ART MIND DISTORTION JUTSU"
Ryo gasp" what the my body…I can't move"
Ino smirk" that's right you can't this is one of my clans jutsus the opponents is paralyze until I release the jutsu, this technique makes the opponents mind to stop working making all the body functions pretty useless"
"Okay I get it so what are you going to do now?" he asked impressed because she was able to get him to drop his guard twice.
Ino smirk as she went closer to him until she was very close to his face just a few inches from his lips, Ryo blush having the Yamanaka this close to him it was like a dream come true. He saw her baby blue eyes staring at him with a glint of passion in them, he then gasp in realization seeing that she was getting closer and closer to his face.
(No way she's not going to, she's not really going to k….) he blushed again at the thought of kissing Ino how amazing it will feel.
Ino on the other hand smirk in amusement seeing him blushing it made him look so cute, she has realize how much she enjoys teasing him, she lean her face a few inches more until her lips were so close to his. She really suppress the thought of kissing him she wanted to so badly, but they were still in their sparring match so she wasn't going to kiss him at least not yet.
She smile at him feeling his breath tickling her" I win Ryo"
"You have a long way to go for you to beat me" he said with a smirk as he turn into a splash of water.
Ino gasp in shock (what no way a water clone but that can't be when did he?)
Suddenly the mist started clearing out revealing the training field and she heard clapping coming from one of the trees, he smile at her while she was still confuse.
"Well done Ino you have what it takes to become even stronger with the training you will receive you might stand a chance against the real me someday"
She gasp again" no way are you saying that all this time I have been fighting a water clone?"
"Yup that's right usually water clones have only fifty percent of the originals strength the same with his chakra"
Ino was really shock (so in other words I didn't stand a chance against him if I was fighting the real one, I was able to beat the water clone but somehow I don't think the clone was taking me seriously)
"You know you could've defeated me if you wanted to so….why did you let the match last longer was it the fact that I was about to give you a kiss" she smirk while he blush slightly.
"No that's not it I just wanted to see what you were made off, and I was right all along you have what it takes to receive this training so welcome aboard"
"Thanks I'm glad to be here I hope to meet your expectations"
"You already have" he smiled with a small blush on his cheeks (she's amazing she's going to become into a kick ass kunoichi)
"Anyway how about we go to the village and take a break the sun has already come out" he said while his bow quiver and sword.
"Yeah I don't have a problem with that"
They left the training field and Ino kept looking at him (I wish the training mission was more than one year I don't mind in staying as long as I get to be with him) she giggle in her mind as she took notice of his body and got a small nose bleed.
In a ramen restaurant
Sakura and Seiryu were having their breakfast while some of the people that were passing by were giving them weird looks who would actually eat ramen for breakfast that would be Sakura and Seiryu decided to join her, to him it was weird experience. He was also amaze by her appetite he just watched as she ate six bowls of ramen looks like she was quite hungry, he even wondered how she can keep such a nice figure with her appetite. She finished her sixth bowl with a big smile; while Seiryu sweat dropped praying that she was full he didn't wanted to get broke.
"Ah yeah that hit the spot" she said happily while Seiryu felt relief.
"Want another bowl?" he asked with a smirk.
"No thanks I'm full"
"You sure you look like you have enough space in your stomach" he joke.
"What's that suppose to mean?" she said while giving him a warning glare.
"Nothing nothing I was just kidding don't glare at me to death so after were finish here we will start the training by finding your element affinity"
"Element affinity?" she asked surprise" oh you mean nature chakra I learn about it at the academy it's the element that defines a ninjas jutsus base on the element he can perform jutsus of that element"
"Exactly I always knew you were smart anyway depending of your element affinity I will be teaching you new jutsus"
"But how are we going to find out?"
"I will tell you but first let's go somewhere else" he said while leaving the money on the table.
Sakura notice that he has left more money than the price for the ramen" um…Seiryu"
"It's all right I have to give them more since they hate me they always overcharge me"
Sakura nodded while feeling sorry for him to think he's still living in this village after they way they treat him it was a miracle that he hasn't left the village a long time ago but he was still here, it reminded her of Naruto who he fought to gain the respect and acknowledgement of the people of Konoha. They left the restaurant walking the streets of the village seeing how the people were looking at him she ignoring their glares will cursing in her mind, they went to an open field leaving the streets.
Seiryu took a piece of paper showing it to her" this is how you're going to find out your element affinity"
"It's just a piece of paper" she said with a sweat dropped.
"It's more than just a piece of paper it's chakra paper, you focus some of your chakra into the paper and it will tell you're your element affinity if it burns it means fire if it gets wet its water if it breaks in half its wind and if it crumbles its earth do you get it now?"
"Yes"
"Good now here focus some of your chakra to the paper"
She nodded while taking the piece of paper she focus her chakra and it made the chakra paper get we and crumble at the same time.
Seiryu was quite surprise at this" wow I don't believe it looks your both earth and water that is very weird for a ninja"
"I guess that makes me unique" she smiled at him.
"Yeah not many people have two elements only the elites like jounins ANBU even a kage has two elements affinity, as for the training I can teach you water and ice jutsus because water is my element affinity as for earth well sensei will help you when he gets back from mission you see he's just like you he's both earth and water in element affinity"
"All right let's go to the training field so we can start the training"
She nodded while following him to the nearest training field.
Later at the hot baths
Ino and Sakura were bathing in the hot baths along with some of the women in the village, they were quite enjoying the great bath at least Ino was relaxing unlike her pink haired best friend. Sakura was still thinking about Seiryu she couldn't get the image of the villagers glaring at him it really made her angry, why couldn't they see that he was a good person and not some demon the thought of them hating him just because his the prisoner of a Bijuu really anger her a lot. In the morning she started her training with him teaching her some of the basics water elemental jutsus, like the water clone and the water missile jutsu. She really felt pity for the mist jounin he has been hated in his entire life for being a demon container and yet they haven't acknowledge him as a human being, she started thinking about Naruto how Konoha hated him so much but in the end they have all acknowledge and earn their respect for all the heroic things he did for the village.
Ino sniff some of the steam while sighing dreamily" mmm….this hot bath is even more relaxing than the ones in Konoha don't you think so Sakura?"
When she didn't get an answer from her best friend she look at her and notice she had a far off distance look like she was in deep thought" hey Sakura didn't you hear me?"
The pink hair kunoichi snap from her thinking looking back at the bleach blond" huh what is it?"
She sighed" never mind you look like you had something on your mind so mind sharing it with me"
"Yeah I guess I have been thinking a lot sorry if I wasn't paying attention to you Ino"
"Don't worry about it so are you going to tell me what were you thinking so much about?" she hide her tone of high anticipation.
Sakura sighed" it's Seiryu"
Ino gave a devilish smirk ready to tease her" oh so you finally admit that you love him"
She gave her an annoyed" can it Ino pig I'm not in the mood so cut it out it's not about that, I'm just worry about him about the village hating him" she whisper the last part making sure the other women didn't hear them talking about him.
Ino understood the gesture Sakura was giving her telling her to whisper to her" why would they hate him?"
Sakura eyes widened in realization she didn't wanted to tell her about Seiryu being a jinchuuriki at least not yet so she will obviously to her" I don't know why but I don't like the way they treat him like he was trash I just don't like the fact that they treat him so different it really angers me"
"So you care about him that's nice is Seiryu angry at this?"
"Oh yeah it really angers him but he doesn't let it get to him he ignores it and forgets the pain, I mean look at him Ino the way he acts the way he talks the way he smiles it reminds me so much of….him"
"Him?" asked Ino with a raise eyebrow.
Sakura nodded forgetting the thought of crying" yeah he reminds me so much of Naruto he's so much like him but he's like more mature, he reminds me so much of him it…it scares me he even has a similar grin like he's" she then smile while Ino was staring at her with an interested look" it's the same thing with him too about Naruto every time he smiles at me I can't help it but smile too and feel happy" she smile while she sees Ino smirking at her" what?"
"Sakura you don't know why you feel like that?"
"No I don't really understand what you're saying"
The bleach blond sighed" you know Sakura you were the smartest student at the academy but sometimes you can be real stupid"
She glared at her" what's that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing perhaps you will understand someday" she went back to enjoy the bath while smirking in her mind (I was right all along Sakura you have fallen in love with Seiryu and you don't have a clue about it)
Sakura ignore her best friends comment and went back to enjoy the hot bath that is until she saw some of the women that were bathing leaving so suddenly, Ino also saw them leaving they were all giving them disgusted looks while some of them were glaring at them.
"What's with them?"
"Just ignore them" Sakura snorted knowing very well the reason why they left they must've listen to their conversation about Seiryu. (I don't know how long I will stand staying in this village they're all a bunch of ignorant fools for not seeing the difference between a demon and its container)
Later at their house (nightfall)
The evening have finally arrived in their first day of training and they were quite tire at least Ino was, she was so happy when Ryo volunteer dinner for them. The four of them were having a nice dinner like a celebration of a job well done in their first day of training, Seiryu told them about Sakura's first day of training that she was able to learn the basic water jutsus and that he has high expectations of her that comment made Sakura blush a little while her inner self was raising her fist saying that she kicks ass. Ryo told of Ino's first day of training they have found out that she has a water element affinity and he started teaching her the basic water jutsus just like Seiryu with Sakura, he has also decided to teach her archery telling them that she has the potential to become a great archer. It wasn't long before Ryo started saying some of his jokes and they started laughing especially Ino, she has always thought of Ryo as a great joker.
After they were done with dinner Seiryu volunteer to do the dishes and Sakura chose to help him she didn't minded at all, while Ino and Ryo were talking she whisper to him that Seiryu and Sakura make such a cute couple and he agreed. Sakura smiled at him seeing how dedicated he was when he had a task at hand, just like Naruto even if he screw up a lot he never gave up and kept focusing on his goal of course she knew he never fulfill that lifelong dream of his to become Hokage. Once they were done with the dishes Seiryu and Ryo and waved their goodbyes to their student and left the house, the two kunocihis decided to go to bed since they already knew the hour they were going to be awake from now on.
A few minutes later
Sakura was in her room ready to go to bed she was wearing her usual night clothing which consisting a white tank top with red shorts, she did like to sleep comfortably she was about to lie in her bed when she heard a knock on the door she went to answer it.
(I swear Ino is going to get it if she tries to bug me again) she thought remembering that before going to bed Ino started teasing her about Seiryu.
She open the door and she was quite surprise to see Seiryu he was holding some package in his hands" Seiryu why are you here?"
"Sorry for coming so suddenly Sakura but a package has arrived for you from Konoha it's from the Hokage"
Sakura blink" from Tsunade-sama okay thanks I'll accept it" she took the package from him.
"Good then I'll see you at the training field same hour to start the torture…I mean the training" he chuckle a little.
"Looking forward to it" she said smiling.
"No you don't" he replied with a snicker" see you Sakura I'll close the door on my way out bye"
"Yeah bye" once Seiryu was gone she closed the door to her room and got seated on her bed looking at the package that Tsunade send her.
She immediately open it getting very curious to what was inside, she knew it must be something of great value to bother herself in sending it to her, as she open the package the first thing she saw was a note address to her she look at it as she began to read it.
Sakura:
You must be wandering what's in the package well I know you will thank me for this, inside you will find mementos of Naruto. The first thing is his headband I know you will take care of it it's like having the brat with you, and the last thing well I didn't wanted to give it to you because it has given me nothing but pain and misery in my entire life it has taken my most precious people away first my little brother Nawaki then my boyfriend Dan and now it has taken Naruto too. Yes I have send you my necklace that belong to my grandfather the First Hokage and it's a cursed necklace everyone who has wear it have died, those three I have mention they all die while wearing the necklace I really hate it so much.
You must think that I want you to die by wearing it but no honestly I don't want you to wear it, the last thing I want is for my student and the person that I hold dear like a daughter to die however whether you want to wear it or not it's completely up to you. I want you to know that I believe you can avenge Naruto you are strong Sakura I know you can do it, even if I'm doing wrong in supporting you in your revenge but I want Naruto's murder dead justice must be done. But please remember that revenge won't bring him back no matter how much we care for him the past is the past, nothing won't change it I don't want you to become a revenge drunk like a certain bastard Uchiha. I'm with you to the end just like everyone from the rookie nine we all believe you can do it, now show that traitorous bastard who's Haruno Sakura.
I know that someday you will surpass me you already did in my strength you will became a great medic ninja the best, I wouldn't wanted it any other way I'm very proud of you. Never forget that you still have friends and a family here in Konoha we all love you and I love you too.
Good luck on your mission and goal
Senju Tsunade Fifth Hokage of Konoha village hidden in the leaves
Sakura dried her tears as she sob softly with a warm smile "thank you Tsunade-sama I promise I will avenge Naruto believe it that's my promise of the lifetime" she took the blue leaf headband from the package.
The headband was in good condition after three years looks like Tsunade has been taken good care of it, she then took the Hokage necklace she smile it was very beautiful. Without thinking about it she strap the necklace around her neck wearing it, she smile while looking at herself in the mirror the jade color crystal match with her jade eyes it look good on her. She put Naruto's headband near her night stand next to the team seven picture minus Sasuke, she finally lie on her bed until she close her eyes drifting to sleep.
(I will not die not until I fulfill my goal)
To be continued
Next chapter: A special mission reinforcements to the rescue
I think Tsunade's last name must be Senju I mean she's the granddaughter of the First Hokage and his last name is Senju so it makes me believe that's her last name, as for Jiraiya I really don't have a clue. All right now I'm going to put three questions polls about the story one question poll will be put on my profile if you guys want to check it out, so here are the questions.
Should Sakura have a weapon?
Yes (if you answer yes please let me know which type of weapon along with the description by review)
No
Should I add lemons in future chapters?
Yes
No
Of course if I do add them I will have to change the rating of the story to M so keep that in mind, although I have been thinking of adding lemons in this story.
Farewell until next time and Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy New Year cheers.
