Chapter 4: Understanding
Power.
That was the only word going through Sakura's mind. 'I have an advanced bloodline… Imagine the power I can command at my fingertips! If my bloodline is as strong as the Sharingan or the Byakugan...' Sakura pondered the ideaof having an advanced bloodline.
Kakashi stared at his student; she seemed to be lost in her own mind. Kakashi gave a painful sigh; his only female student has changed and matured so much, especially after her parents' death. Maybe that was what triggered her transformation, she has matured faster then any other student Kakashi has ever seen, Naruto for example…hasn't matured one bit. Probably never will.
"Kakashi- sensei, describe my bloodline."
He knew it was coming, she would ask his to tell her everything about her bloodline, this would be awkward and slightly difficult.
"Well, your bloodline is uh…you understand the Sharingan? How it can copy opponent's jutus? Well yours is similar, not only can it copy jutus, your clan also has jutus that are just for your bloodline." Kakashi looked deep into the eyes of his student. Emerald eyes filled with determination and anger. He knew the tragic story of her parent's death ;( A/N: Coming soon) he also understood what it felt like to lose some one precious. The pain is beyond anything anyone can imagine; they always say that emotional pain is a thousand times more painful then physical pain.
Kakashi knew that this was a lot for Sakura to bare, first she loses Sasuke, then her parents, those were the most important people in her life. Sakura even blamed herself for the loses and all he could do was watch as his student drift farther and farther from the rest of them.
He began again. "Tomaster these jutus, you must first be able to activate your bloodline, be able to fully control it. From what I understand your bloodline has something to do with an inner spirit…"
Sakura went stiff, she eyes wide, in shock. '…An inner spirit…'
'Some one callin' me?'
'…you're my…inner spirit!'
'The one and only!'
'…WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!'
'Whoa, calm down. You never asked, and so what if I'm your inner spirit?'
She couldn't believe it, her ticket to ultimate power; was inside her and well apparently she has been talking to it her whole life. That's quite a let down.
"…And that is how your jutus works!" Finished Kakashi, you could tell he was relived to have finally finished explaining the whole thing; he never wanted to repeat it EVER again.
Sakura almost fell over. Almost. She missed it! The whole explanation! She missed it because she was…talking to herself. Wow…irony.
"Sakura, got that? I hope you do well in your training!" Without hesitation, he disappeared in with a small 'poof.'
Sakura thought about her current situation
'Now what? He just left, now I'm stuck with my "inner spirit." My one way ticket to power and I don't know how to control it!'
'What do you mean you don't know how to control me? Well now that you think about it, during the Chuunin exams, You didn't help me at ALL, you could have told me to do something but you didnt. Thatw as when I too matters into my own hands.
'Thanks for rubbing it in. What do I do with you now? I wanted to train but I guess I have to ask Kakashi to explain it again.'
'Why ask the old pervert to tell you? The expert is right here.'
'You knew about the jutus and bloodline?Why didn't you ever tell me! '
'Do you seriously NOT listen? You never asked!'
Sakura couldn't help but be frustrated with her Inner spirit.
'I hate you, y'know…'
'I love you too.'
She certainly did have a spunky attitude; maybe this wouldn't be so bad, having a voice in the back of your head, constantly nagging you or mixing your words around, reading your mind…
On second thought, this would be hell on earth.
…This is pretty short, I think this is my shortest chapter.
Sorry about that.
Gomen!
I swear the next chapter will be longer!
Sasuke will come soon!
Maybe next chapter will be how Sasuke is at Orochimaru's…maybe.
Well…JA!
