Chapter 5
Two hundred and fifty well trained ninjas were embarking the submarines. Three of them in total, huge metal oval like shape. 'Alright sakura, today is your day' 'Don't worry about it too much, you have trained your ass of for over a month! You'll do fine.. Plus all that training sure gave us a hell of a good body!'
Rolling my eyes at the inner comment I sneaked a smirk on my face without realizing it. "Sakura-chan you sure look ready to go!" 'oh god!' that's embarrassing, thinking to myself.
"Yes, Naruto I feel ready!" with my fist I made damn sure to sound confident. I wouldn't want to give away my nervousness. "then I'll see you from the inside... sakura-chan be real careful please, inside of that crap I can't protect you" he looked real worried, which I thought it was cute but at the same time annoying, I've trained for a reason to not be in the sidelines I don't need his help, not anymore. I will protect him. "Sure thing Naurto..."
-o-o-o-o-o-

"Alright Sakura! Everything is set to go! I trust in you and I know you will do a fine job of protecting them, now go" with that I said my goodbyes to Lady Tsunade and jumped in the water.
I got used to the blurriness of the bubbles that occurred right when I got in the water; the first thing I did was swim right next to the submarine where Naruto, Sai and Kakashi-sensei were. I waved hello to them, and from the window they looked surprised and a little shocked. I guess they have never been able to see me like this so up close and with clarity.
"SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFULL!" I could tell Naruto was literarily screaming it out so loud that even I could hear the eco slipping out of the submarine's windows. I got red at the loud comment, that he probably thought I hadn't heard.
The journey started, it's been half an hour since we had all departure and thankfully there was no wired activity going on. I heard taping sounds.
Tap* tap* tap* I looked at the window and saw Naruto pointing out toward a far direction; I turned to see what it was when I saw huge fish, sharks. Blue faced I turned to face him and noticed he was blue too.
As the submarine got closer, I also got closer to them. I felt scared at first but for some reason I wasn't anymore. The sharks were swimming right next to me and now and then even bumping in to me. Like if they knew who I was, like we were friends for so long they had the confidence to be this close to me and not do anything harmful. 'Maybe they realize we are the daughter of their king...'. It sounded weird but inner could be right.
Tap* tap* tap* I saw Naruto again, this time holding a paper with a message; I could closer just enough that I rested my hands against the window.
"They aren't scared of you sakura-chan, that's great you're like their princess!" I smiled and just nodded since he couldn't hear me. He wrote again, "sakura-can you are truly amazing..." I looked up to see his red face, and got red myself.
'We are real close to ground, I could sense it... you should tell Naruto- kun' I snapped out of my redness and made hand signs to let him now ground was nearby, and he quickly went away to inform the rest.
'I'll see you soon Sasuke-teme, I love you as my friend and teammate and that is why I'm here, also just a friendly revenge and kick your ass! ́ I swam faster than the submarines to be the first to arrive at the island and dry myself faster.
-o-o-o-o-o- Narrator's POV
The 3 submarines had already risen, and sakura was almost dry, kakashi-sense had her clothes prepared for her at the small camp sight.
"Thanks Kakashi-sensei, I'm good now" stepping out of the tent with her normal clothe on.
"You must be exhausted; I'll take care of the night. You go and rest sakura"
That order was approved by her instantly, with that she went right to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a hard day!
