As the sun rose above the horizon and sunlight began shining on Hokage Mountain and over Konoha in general. Within one apartment in a complex located near Konoha Hospital, a chunin was awaken as light began poured in through their window despite the blind being closed.
Shifting over in their bed , they tried to remain asleep but the light and their ninja training prevent them from doing so. Pulling off the covers from their bed the chunin sat yawning while looking at the time on their alarm clock.
"I got up before my alarm could go off…again. It seems like I am getting better at waking up whenever I want unlike three years ago" they said making their way towards the kitchen area.
Fixing a bowl of instant ramen, they sat down at the table began eating it while watching the Konoha Morning News.
"If only he could see you now as you constantly get on him for eating ramen at weird times but here you are eating it for breakfast" the chunin's roommate (also a chunin) said with a smirk on her face.
"Shut up Ino-pig! I only eat instant ramen for breakfast when I am about to go on a mission as its part of tradition I started. I feel better and more energized when I do this. Though if you tell anyone about this, I will make you regret it as I know one of your secrets as well" the chunin said.
As for the identify of this chunin, they were none other then Sakura Haruno the second apprentice of the famed Sanin Tsunade. With her roommate being the third apprentice of Tsunade and Sakura's oldest friend Ino Yamanaka.
"Well you got me there" Ino sighed as began cooking her own breakfast which consist two different kind of bacon and eggs.
Though neither one of them wished to admit they had developed a habit of eating the very food for which they would constantly get on their teammate for eating. Both claimed that eating this before a mission help them perform better during the mission.
As for what the two of them were doing living together. Well a year and half after Naruto had left on his training trip with Jiriaya, Sakura had gotten tired of her parnet's negative talk of Naruto. They were as bad as some of the other villagers however Naruto alone was not the reason she had moved out of parnet's house. Her training with Tsunade was the other reason that she had moved out. At first they were all smiles and happy about her being training by one of the legendary Sanins. All that quickly changed once she had gotten to the 'Combat' part of being a combat medical ninja. Coming in battered and bruise night after night finally took their toll on her parnets and Sakura as well. The pink hair genin (at the time) knew she was naturally talented in chakra control and book smarts however everything required hard work akin to what Naruto or Lee had to go through.
So when she could not take anymore she moved out and into an apartment close to the Konoha Hospital, where she worked as a nurse part time. Although her job as part time nurse and money she got from mission she went on were not enough to pay the rent of the apartment. This were Ino came in as she decided to help her best friend/rival out by moving in with her. In return for helping her make rent, Sakura agreed to help Ino's family out with their flower shop whenever she could.
Slurping up the last of her instant ramen and done brushing her teeth, for she could have anyone find out her secret before mission breakfast by smell of her breath. The pink hair went off to get the other members of mission she was suppose to be going on today.
As she ran through Konhoa towards her first destination, Sakura began thinking about all that happened recently. Things had been rather slow lately but that changed the moment Naruto came back from his training trip. As it had only been about one month since he had come back and already two major things had happened. Gaara was kidnapped by the Akatsuki and they finally got what eventually turned out to be solid lead toward Sasuke's whereabouts from a spy Sasori told Chiyo and her that he had in Orochimaru ranks. The spy however turned out to be Kabuto and things quickly turned back when it was revealed that he was no longer willingly serving Sasori as Orochimaru undid the jutsu Sasori placed on him years ago. After the snake Sanin was beaten by Naruto in his four tailed form, Team Seven with temporary members Yamato and Sai replacing Kakashi and Sasuke managed to find Sasuke but he got away.
After getting back from that mission, she mostly went on the same mission that Naruto was always telling her about before he went on before he left for his two and half year training trip. Mission that he went on with other members of their graduating class and not her since she was too busy with her medical training at the time.
