Sakura's eyes widened in shock as a flying object came hurtling towards Naruto and Hinata.Time seemed to slow in that instant,her hands palmy with sweat started to twitch, and her stomach knotted anxiously. Forcing her exhausted legs to move was deemed useless as it was too late.
Covering the still bodies of both Naruto and Hinata was Neji. A pool of red leaked from his cracked lips. Naruto's eyes seemed to flash a deep crimson as he caught the Hyuuga .The battlefield fell into a dead silence after the last few words he would ever speak. "...because you called me a genius."

Sakura awoke suddenly in a cold sweat, the hooting of a nearby owl making her jump, feeling around her bed for anything that would give her light, became frustrating when she couldn't see. Catching her breath took some time as she tried to prevent herself from hyperventilating.
Pushing aside the sweat-soaked covers gave her a cold chill when her feet touched the floor. 'What was that?' she questioned to herself; the overall dream felt real.
Digging in her arm with her nails always calmed her in a weird way. The only thing she couldn't piece together was why she had a dream about 'Naruto' of all people the class clown that terrorized her crush. "Don't tell me I'm going insane," she whispered to herself in annoyance.
With difficulty, she was able to pull herself out of bed and walk down the steps for something to wet her dry throat. A headache seemed to be approaching, which gave her a wave of nausea. 'Kami, what else are you going to throw my way tonight?' She thought in Agitation.
-
Taking a cup to fill it with water gave her great satisfaction when she took in a mouthful of the liquid. "Sakura?" A voice came from the other side of the kitchen. Sakura nearly spits out her water from the sudden appearance of her mother.
Mebuki raised an eyebrow in amusement "you let your old woman sneak up on you?" She asked, putting her hand on her hip. Sakura rolled her eyes but smiled to herself 'real nice ninja skills, sak!' Inner said in sarcasm. Rolling her eyes again gave her a mini headache that quickly went as soon as it came.
Smacking her lips together, she gave her mom a smile of assurance. "Trust me mom, I was simply caught off guard," she said, raising her hands in joke surrender. Mebuki didn't seem to buy it but nodded anyway.
"Why're you up this late?" She asked, walking towards the sink to grab herself a cup of water. Sakura cleared her throat and took another sip of the fresh beverage "dry throat plus a weird dream," she answered quickly, attempting to climb the steps and avoid an unwanted conversation about her dream.
"Hopefully, it wasn't about that Sasuke fellow; you do know you're too young, right?" Mebuki said with a wide smile. Sakura twitched her eye and internally gagged "yeah, yeah," she answered climbing the steps to her room.
"Goodnight to you too! And good luck tomorrow," Mebuki yelled up after her in excitement.
-
Reaching her room, she let out a breath of air and collapsed on her bed. Turning her body towards her nightstand she gazed at the metal headband that reflected from the glow of the moon.
Taking the headband in her hand made her feel accomplished at becoming a genin. Moving her finger around the carving made her crack a smile, but a sudden sharp pain traveling from her ear to her head making her drop the metal to the ground.

"Very fast...well reasoned Shisui of the body flicker," Danzo said, walking into a grass clearing, surprising the surrounded Uchiha.
"Danzo..." Shisui trailed off in anger, a scowl now forming on his pale face "all of you just stay back," Danzo said, steadily approaching the Uchiha that stiffened whilst readying his weapon.
"What's the meaning of this? Why are you getting in my way?!" Danzo stared at him with an unreadable expression. "Kotoamatsukami a visual jutsu that creates false experiences," Danzo stated confidently as he stared at Shisui indifferently "such incredible power, but what a waste to use it merely to stop a coup..."
"How unfortunate that an Uchiha doesn't know how to use the Sharingan," Danzo said receiving a grunt from Shisui."if you use your visual Jutsu on the clan as long as the Uchiha clan exist,it's highly doubtful that another coup can be avoided. Even if your plan worked, it is only for this instance there is no guarantee that the same thing will not happen again."
"On the contrary, it probably will happen again," Danzo continued as he stood in a more comfortable position. " sooner or later, the hidden leaf Village will have to deal with the Uchiha."
"if so, by exterminating the Uchiha now...!" Danzo said fiercely "...the future of the village will be secure, don't you think?" Danzo asked, looking him in the eye.
Shisui gazed at the older man in rage. "Danzo you were planning this all along!" Danzo looked to the sky breaking eye contact "This is all for the sake of attaining true peace for the leaf" Danzo looked at Shisui once again.
"Shisui...do not worry, I will make good use of your eyes," Danzo said as he sprung forward; the younger male looked on in surprise before grabbing his sword and activating his Sharingan to block.
Kunai were thrown in the now absent spot of the Uchiha. The dark-haired boy sprung to escape before he felt a presence appear behind him. Gripping his arm tightly, Danzo reached for his left eye-

A surprised Yelp came from the pinkette as she scrambled away from the object that caused her misfortune. "What the hell?!"
-
Folding her legs in a sitting position she gazed worriedly at the metal headband. 'We shouldn't go today; you're too tired,' inner commented in exhaustion. Sakura agreed absentmindedly throwing the headband at her door 'Trust me, I wouldn't if I could'
-
Her mom greeted her with a warm smile and breakfast. "Excited about today?" Mebuki asked, wiggling her eyebrows. Sakura signed at her mother's playful attitude. "More than I'll ever be!" She answered back in fake excitement. Attempting to eat the eggs as fast she could almost made her nauseous. "Eat slower," her mom said with a look.
When finished, she put her plate in the sink and pecked her mom on the cheek. "Thanks for breakfast, mom I gotta run!" Sakura said quickly, grabbing her lunch.
"That girl, I swear"

"Hey where's your headband?!"
-
The sun hit her face as soon as she opened her front door. After she grabbed her headband from upstairs she simply held it instead of wearing it properly. 'Okay good thoughts only' she thought encouraging herself silently. "Forehead!" A loud voice rang from behind. 'Or not.'
"What is it, pig?" Sakura questioned glumly. "Oh, nothing ;I just thought I'd let you know I'm going to be on Sasuke-Kuns team," she said, sticking her nose in the air.
Sakura raised an eyebrow "yeah right, Like that's going to happen" she replied walking past the platinum blond.
"-ah forehead, wait up!"
-
Walking in the classroom, Sakura immediately went for the seat by Sasuke but was interrupted by a shove from Ino. 'Outer, I think I feel another presence,' inner said, suddenly interrupting Sakura's train of thought. 'What do you mean?' She thought back but received no reply. An anxious feeling came over when inner went silent.
Taking a seat by the door, she attempted to reach inner and still received no reply. 'Why is all this weird shit happening today?!' She thought angrily. "Sakura-chan, mind if I sit next to you?!" Naruto said, suddenly interrupting her meltdown. A frown appeared on her face, but confusion came soon after.
There stood Naruto Uzumaki in all his idiotic glory, but...he's on fire? Giving him a weird look, she nodded dumbly. 'Oh, I am definitely not right in the head today,' she thought, staring at the blond, who proceeded to give her a toothy grin.
Naruto was extremely similar to her nightmare, orange flames licking at his skin. 'I thought he failed' She thought with surprise staring at the blond again.
'Maybe I'm still dreaming?'

Iruka-Sensei walked in with a clipboard and a smile on his face. "Hello! New Genin of Konoha," Iruka exclaimed in excitement. "I know you all are excited to see who your new teammates are going to be, so let's get to it!"
Iruka sensei was background noise as Sakura attempted to once again reach inner. "...Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno!" Iruka said, putting his clipboard down and clasping his hands together. Sakura looked up quickly at her name being called with Sasuke's.
Ino turned around from her seat by the mentioned Uchiha with annoyance. "Forehead, how can you be on the same team as Sasuke-Kun?!" Sakura looked irritated at the sudden attention she was receiving when Ino called her out. "No idea, pig; worry about your own team," Sakura mumbled under her breath before she got up from her seat and stormed out.
Iruka yelling for her to come back, falling on death ears. While everyone gazed in surprise at her sudden behavior.
-
After their lunch, everyone was directed to their classroom to wait for their Sensei. Sakura simply stared down at her hands to fiddle with her fingers while Naruto paced back and forth.
"Why is he so late?! it's been hours, and everyone else already left," Naruto exclaimed, throwing his hands up. Sasuke gave Naruto a haughty look "what's the point in complaining? he won't come faster if you do," Sasuke said, balancing a kunai on his finger.
Naruto ignored Sasuke and grabbed a piece of broken chalk off the board. Sakura raised an eyebrow . Placing the chalk on the door, he let out an evil laugh. "Let's see him avoid that!"
"Idiot, do you really think he's going to fall for that? he's a Jounin" Naruto turned his head to Sasuke with his tongue out. "You're just mad I came up with it, and you didn't!" He said, pointing his finger at the pale male. Soon after, an argument continued to ensue, which Sakura wanted zero part in.
'Odd, I should be happy I'm on Sasuke-kuns team, but I just feel irritated...' she thought, finally putting the metal headband on.
Their arguing completely subsided with the opening of the door that left both Naruto and Sasuke in shock. "He really fell for it!" Naruto said, laughing at the new arrival.
A man not too older than 30 and not too younger than 20 stood at the door with gravity-defying hair, a bad slouch, and a mask covering half his face. He skimmed the room and looked all three of them in the face "hmm, my first impression of you all? I hate you," he said putting his hands in his pocket after his bold statement. "Meet me on the roof"Was his last few words before he disappeared.
Sasuke cringed after he left "great, another weirdo."
-
"We'll all start off with simple introductions," he said as he positioned himself more comfortably on the ledge of the building. "Likes,dislikes,hobbies, and dreams for the future!"
Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Why don't you go first, Sensei?" he said, looking at the silver-haired male expectantly. "Well, my name is Kakashi Hatake, my likes? I have a lot of those...dislikes?...eh I don't feel like telling you that, as for hobbies...I have lots of those too and dreams for the future? never really thought about it!"
Naruto pointed at him with a frown. "We only found out your name. Are you serious?!" Sakura chuckled as Kakashi shrugged. "Next is you on the right" Naruto frowned at him but nodded. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! and I like instant ramen and eating ramen with Iruka Sensei. I dislike the three minutes it takes to make ramen. My hobbies;I like pranks ...my dream for the future is to one day be the Hokage and get everyone to acknowledge me!" He said, pumping his fist in the air.
Kakashi nodded and laid his eyes on Sasuke "My name is Sasuke Uchiha; I hate a lot of things, and I don't particularly like anything; what I have is not a dream because I will make it a reality I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone."
Naruto looked wearily at Sasuke 'gee; I hope he doesn't mean me' Kakashi stared at Sasuke with a knowing look. Sakura rolled her eyes 'Kami help me get past the day unscathed.'
Kakashi then nodded her way. "My name is Sakura Haruno-" she said as a familiar sharp pain hit her nerves.

"I'm home!" A young Itachi said, walking in the door;Sasuke ran from the kitchen to greet him, wrapping his hands around his waist. "Come on, let's go outside and play!" Sasuke said, tugging his older brother. "Let's go play! what do you think we should play first?!" he said, pulling on Itachi's shirt in excitement.
"Stop that, Sasuke," Mikoto said as she came in with a basket of laundry. Itachi smiled and bent down to his brother's height. "Maybe next time, Sasuke, I have to talk to father right now," he said, poking his forehead. Sasuke pouted, watching his older brother leave up the steps. "You always say that..."
-
Her surroundings were blurry after the sudden vision. Her teammates were staring at her in confusion. "Ah, sorry!" Sakura said, getting up quickly and tripping over her feet.
"I—have to go!" She said, running down the steps, leaving her teammates no time to question her.
