Happy birthday Sakura! This is dedicated to my fave character in the Naruto series! Yay! And remember to check out my sneak page for more info!
Disclaimer: Guess what? I finally found out the name of Naruto's creator! Naruto and friends belong to Masashi Kishimoto and Asuka belongs to Asuka-Rui-Uchiha. Yoshie belongs to… well, Yoshie, and Electra and Ryu belong to me. This is completely fan-made. Thanks enjoy and I think this is the longest disclaimer I have ever done! Woot!
Chapter 21
New and INSANE Shinobi special!
Happy Birthday Sakura!
I carefully tied the note to Ryu's leg and let him free. After he was out of sight, I went back to my room and brought back Kabuto.
"Yoshie! Kabuto's here!" I announced. She smiled, and approached Kabuto. I grinned in understanding and took my place next to (the still passed out) Asuka.
"Kabuto? I'd like a–" Instead of ordering a piece of cake. She punched him in the face with her perfect chakra control. The impact woke Asuka up immediately. I told Kabuto to give Orochimaru a message for me and he left, glaring daggers at Yoshie as he passed through the door. Five minutes later, he came back, saying that the answer was yes. I told the girls to pack up.
"Where are we going?" Asuka asked drowsily.
"Let's just say, we're going to see an old friend…"
'Tis here there'd be a time skip in which the two unsuspecting shinobi follow me to... somewhere…
"Are we there yet?" Asuka complained.
"Yup," I nodded.
Before us stood the gate of the Leaf Village.
"Now, the only problem we have: Get in with getting attacked." I muttered.
"Allow me…" Asuka led us to the entrance, and when the guards asked for identification, (realizing too late that it was Asuka and I) she used her Sharingan to put them in a genjutsu, and cast another one over them to make sure no one suspected anything.
We hid in nearby trees and I gave them each a bundle of cloth.
"Orochimaru wants us to wear these, and it will help make sure no one recognizes us right away."
Clothes description! Skip to the next line like this if you don't care what it looks like!
I wore a pink, flowing dress that got longer on my left side and shorter to my right. There was a split on the right to make it easier to get to my weapon case. A black, satin-like tie wrapped around my waist and had a pink luster to it. There was a black-pink bow in the back. The same material of black fabric was draped around my shoulders, collarbone and shoulder blades. Black-pink gloves that went from below my fore arms and down were held up by pink ribbons. I wore black-pink stockings and black sandals. I removed my Sound Headband and replaced it with a yellow-striped blue bandana and wore my hair in its usual high ponytail.
Asuka's dress was a light red-brown with a blue strip at the waist. It split in the front and became flowing near the bottom. Uchiha fans were depicted on the sides and a blue stripe ran across the hem of the dress. Darker red-brown fabric made an inner skirt and shorts. The hem of the inner dress was also lined with a blue stripe. Another strip of blue ran across the collarbone and light red-brown fabric extended up from it and covered the shoulders. In the middle of this was an Uchiha crest pin. She also wore short, blue boots and dark red-brown gloves with a blue line at the elbows.
Yoshie wore a shirt similar to Sakura's, but it had black instead of white. She also had black elbow protectors. Her skirt's fabric was short in the front and long in the back. The fish-net material extended from the skirt and wrapped around. The skirt design was like Sakura's in the first season. She even wore boots that were like Sakura's.
The clothes description is over! You can read now! Everybody cheer! Yay!!!
We tried to look as normal as possible, even taking off our headbands, even though no one would bother looking twice. Even going so far as to casting a weak genjutsu while slinking past Ichiraku's. We even had to hold Yoshie down and keep her from diving into the ramen booth.
"Let…mph…me….pfm…RAMEN!!!" Yoshie somehow got away from us and we made a run for it. Everyone would think Yoshie was some kind of tourist.
After a while, Yoshie caught up to us. We stood in front of a building.
"Why are we here?" Yoshie asked, slurping up the last of a noodle.
"It's someone's birthday today, and that someone is one of my close friends…" I said, knocking on the door.
"Konichiwa! How may I help…?"
"Yo Sakura! How goes it?" I greeted. "Can we come in?"
"H- Hai?" I entered as if I hadn't ever left the village and the other two trailed behind me.
Sakura and Yoshie stood face-to-face, as if trying to remember something, but not quite doing that.
Blink.
Blink.
Stare.
Stare.
Realization.
Realization.
"Cousin Sakura!"
"Cousin Yoshie!"
The two cousins embraced and started yammering about people I didn't know and the like.
"You've got to be kidding me! Am I the ONLY person who doesn't have a relation in Konoha!?!?!?" I yelled.
Sasuke, Naruto and the rest of the Konoha 13 (and sensei) came out from Sakura's kitchen, holding some kind of edible food/drink item in their hands.
Blink.
Blink.
Panic.
"Someone call the ANBU!"
"It's the traitors!"
"Let's youthfully defeat them here!"
"It's the neko!"
"It's Asuka!"
"It's Electra!"
"IT'S SAKURA'S BIRTHDAY SO JUST TOJIKOMERU(1)!!!!!!!" I screamed. Luckily, Sakura's house was in a secluded place, so no one heard us.
"Look, we just came here to celebrate Sakura's birthday, and after that, we'll leave and you can forget everything. And Sasuke, you should be more polite to your twin(2)!" I yelled, gesturing to Asuka at the end.
"Twins?" Everyone asked.
"Oops, I just let that slip out!" I apologized.
*Insert a bunch of explaining and convincing of the Konoha 12 (and sensei) to not fight us here*
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Sakura! Happy birthday to you!" We (at least MOST of us) cheered.
Sakura blew the candle and made her wish.
*Insert a bunch of gift giving here!*
"Now what?" Awkward silence…
"A gay baby was just born!" Asuka yelled.
Stare.
Stare.
"What? Every time there's an awkward silence a gay baby is born!"
"Let's name all the fake sayings that we know!" I suggested.
Stare.
Stare.
"You could just say no…"
Stare.
Stare.
"I think they still don't trust us…" Asuka muttered.
"No shit Sherlock!" I exclaimed.
"Hey, Cousin Sakura? I'm hungry!" I think you all know who said that.
"Ramen!" Naruto ran back to his apartment and brought back 10 packs of ramen. I clicked a timer that appeared out of nowhere.
"10 seconds! That's got to be a new record!" I motioned for a high-five.
Silence.
Silence.
"This isn't as fun as I was hoping…"
"Hey! Let's have a ramen eating contest! If I win, you stop treating Asuka and Electra like that and if Naruto wins, we'll leave right away!" Yoshie piped up randomly.
Silence.
Silence.
Who else is getting tired of this?
"Sure." I never figured out who said that, but all I know is that that person made my day!

"Ready?"
"Set!"
"Go!"
Naruto and Yoshie quickly downed their ramen bowls, and since we had ten in total, they each had to eat five. Which is barely anything for both of them.
"Naruto! Naruto! Naruto!" Most of the Konoha 13 cheered.
"Yoshie! Yoshie! Yoshie!" Asuka and I cheered. You could barely tell that Yoshie was in the lead. They each had a hand on a buzzer that they would ring when they finished.
"Naruto!"
"Yoshie!"
"Oh yeah! I win! In your face!!!" Yoshie did a weird dance with a straw on her head.
"Wow, she must have amazing balance to keep that straw from falling off…" Sasuke said. Yoshie bit Sasuke.
"A deal's a deal, could you stop treating us like some of the other Konohonians treat Sasuke?" I asked.
"Hn."
"I mean, you welcome Sasuke back with open arms and you want us to bug off? I'm kinda offended," I said, annoyed.
"I know!" Asuka added, "because he's so much more funny, social, friendly and MUCH more well versed in vocabulary than WE are!" She exclaimed. You could literally SEE the sarcasm!
"That's going too far." Yup, Konoha's resident ice cube.
"Oh, like it's not true! Welcome back! For today at least!" Sakura smiled. "Any friend who would go so far to get away from Orochimaru and sneak through our security system is a friend to me! Even if they're a traitor!"
"See Sasuke? If you were more like us, Sakura wouldn't hate you so much!" Asuka said, flashing a peace sign.
"Hn."
"Oh my god!" I started "hyperventilating".
"Sasuke's vocabulary is STUNNING!" Yoshie "praised".
"Hn."
"What mastery of the art of vocabulary!"
"Whoa, where'd that
like that makes Sasuke look like he's glowing come from?"
"I
brought it here, youthful friends!" Lee did his "good guy" pose
thing.
"Ahh!!! The light! It burns!!!" I dived underneath the couch.
"How can one person have so much toothpaste?" Asuka asked, pointing to Lee.
"I don't know Asuka, I don't know…" Yoshie sighed.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get this party started!" Tenten exclaimed, pumping her fist in the air.
Asuka suddenly collapsed to the ground and screamed. She held her neck.
"Asuka? What happened?"
"She's hurt!"
"What the?"
We
all crowded around her, Sakura making her way to the center of the
circle.
"A curse mark…" She informed. I saw Sasuke reach up to his own.
"When did he?" He asked.
"Yesterday, Yoshie tried to help her; we don't how to seal its power."
"Kakashi did it for me."
"Doesn't she have to go shirtless for that to work? No way we're letting a perv going near her. No offense," I added quickly.
"I know how," Sakura said, they went into a different room.
"The same day we found out she had the Mangekyo…" I added under my breath.

Asuka and Sakura came back out in a few minutes. I was glad they broke the silence. I noticed that Asuka had an odd circle around the mark.
"Can we party now?" Kiba asked.
*Insert hours of partying here because I'm too lazy to make up whatever happened…*
"Soo… What did you girls do today?" Orochimaru asked in his disgusting sing-song voice. I lifted my head from my kneeling pose.
"We visited a friend."
He smiled that malicious smile. I glared through my bangs. I remembered something I overheard Shino say to Kakashi during the party.
"Sometimes she's so serious and other times she goofs off. Like a split personality."
I guess now was one of the times I was serious.
Yoshie and I saw his eyes linger for a moment. Asuka didn't see, she was too busy trying to resist the curse mark.
"My seal isn't that powerful, so it might not be effective. If you're not careful, she could die." Sakura warned Yoshie.
We saw his smile turn into a frown as he stared.
At the seal.
Around the
Curse mark.
Japanese etc.
1 = Shut up
2 = Asuka's creator and Sasuke have the same birthday, so I'm making them fraternal twins!
Yay! I hope you liked it! Review please! Wow, that was short, but this bit is making it longer! Yay!
