"H-Hokage-sama," I squealed out, still mesmerized, "You're my new... sensei?"
"That's right, Sakura. When I first saw you, I saw myself at your age. Amazing potential, a good head on your shoulders, and a sense of dreams. The most important thing in a ninja's life is to dream. You cannot achieve anything unless you do just that," Tsunade said. "Well then. Let's start the training."
Without a moments notice, a kunai came rushing toward me. I jumped in the air, dodging the kunai easily. But before I could land or regain balance, three shurikens were hurdling through the air at different speeds. The first one was coming toward me, aimed for my right thigh. I positioned my body in a split-form, so that the shuriken flew past me, under my legs. I did a backflip in the air, dodging the second one, and I caught the last one, throwing it back at Tsunade. It hit! It landed in her throat, as blood gushed out. Completely surprised, I gasped in utter horror. "Ts-Tsunade-sama!" I yelled, as I walked closer to her. I began to cry, as I sobbed, "Ts-Tsunade-sama... wh-what h-have I done?!"
"Sakura, never let your guard down."
A kunai was held to my throat as I glanced back to see the beautiful blonde, smiling. The fake image before me disintegrated, much like the two bodies before. "How did you do that?" I asked.
"The Jutsu I am about to teach you was taught to me by my sensei, The Third Hokage. It is only known by three people in this world, myself, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru. Not only is it a strong jutsu, but requires no hand seals or chakra. It is performed mentally; you must be strong both mentally and physically in order to perform it. Sarutobi-sensei called it Kotoba. We will train for three days physically, three days mentally, and three days performing the jutsu. The training will help your physical stats, and genjutsu skills, all while learning this jutsu that will help you. Today we start physical training. Got it?"
"Y-yes, Tsunade-sama. I'm going to try my hardest to master this. As soon as Naruto and Sasuke-kun get back, we'll need to protect the village. I'm tired of letting them protect me. From this day forward, I will blossom!"
A proud smile grew on Tsunade's face as she arched her back and gave me a hug. I smelt her aromatic perfume, as I gulped. I was prepared to work for this.
