Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or its characters, just the story line.

Konoha 12 consists on Team 7, Team 8, Team 10, and Team Guy, but one certain kunoichi is betrayed by her comrades. Her sensei doesn't acknowledge her, her teammates think she's a burden and should leave, and everyone else thinks she shouldn't be a ninja at all. Eventually everyone forgets about her and replaces her with Karin.

This kunoichis name is Sakura Haruno. She is a kunoichi who was trained under the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade. Sakura has surpassed Tsunade in strength, and medical ninjitsu, but people just don't seem to acknowledge that. All because she is on a team with the Uchiha prodigy, the tailed beast, Kurama, and the famous Copycat Ninja.

But.. it wasn't always like this. She used to have a great life, with great friends, and a great shishou. But everything changed when HE came back.

~FLASHBACK~

Sakura and Naruto were called to Tsunades office very early in the morning, so she figured he would have went back to sleep. So she starts walking to his apartment.

"NARUTO IF YOU DONT GET UP THIS INSTANT ILL BEAT YOU TO NEXT YEAR." she screamed. Next thing she new, Naruto was at the door, dressed, and looking decent. "Now.. we can go." She smiled.

Naruto cringed next to her. "Yes Sakura~chan, I'm here. Now.. let's get going to Baa~chans office."

Sakura giggled. "Alright, alright, lets go."

~TSUNADE'S OFFICE~

Sakura and Naruto were standing outside of Tsunades office waiting for her to tell them to come in. They could hear people talking inside but didn't pay any attention to it.

"Come in.." they hear a muffled Tsunade say.

Sakura and Naruto walk into the room and their mouths drop the the floor.

"S-s-sasuke?" They both ask. "And.. team?"

"Sakura.. Naruto, I would like you to meet Suigetsu, Juugo, and Karin. They are Sasuke's teammates from when he was on his.. revenge mission." Tsunade states.

Sakura is the first to come out of her shocked state and greet her new comrades. "Hello, my name is Sakura Haruno and next to me is Naruto Uzumaki. It's a pleasure to meet you." She said with a smile holding out her hand.

"Pleasures mine Pinky" Suigetsu says with a grin on his face.

Sakuras eye twitches.

"Hello Sakura~san, I hope we can be friends." Juugo says with a small smile.

Sakura shakes his hand with a smile.

"And how do you know MY Sasuke~kun bitch?" Karin says with her hands on her hips.

Sakura brings her hand to her side with confusion written all over her face. "Well.. uh, we were teammates before he left on his revenge mission." She said with a small smile.

Karin smirks and walks past her whispering "Just stay away from him and nothing will happen to you." Then she left to introduce herself to Naruto.

Sakura looks at Sasuke and smiles. He smirks and pulls her into a hug. "I missed you and Naruto. I'm glad to be back." He admits.

Sakura starts to tear up and hugs him back. We missed you too.. we missed you so much." She cry's you him.

After all of that, we decided to meet up with Konoha 12 and celebrate Sasuke's return.

We were all met up at Ichiraku Ramen and started talking. Everyone was engaged in conversation with Karin and ignoring Sakura. Sakura eventually just decided to get up and leave.

~END OF FLASBBACK~

And that was when it all started going downhill. Karin started rumors that eventually got to Konoha 12 and their sensei's, and Tsunade. After a bunch of yelling, beating, removing her from Konoha 12, and being replaced by Karin in everything (Team 7, Main Medic at the hospital, and Tsunades Apprentice) they finally just decided to forget about her all together. The only person who stuck my her side was Shizune.

Ever since Sakura became Tsunades apprentice, she has thought of Tsunade as a teacher, and shizune as a sister because her parents died when she was only a few years old on a mission. But of course, she kept her sadness behind a emotion-filled mask because Kakashi was to busy with Naruto and Sasuke to care, Tsunade was busy, and she didn't want pity from her comrades.

After a year of being treated like she didn't exist, she wanted to make a name for herself. She started to train by herself and learn new jutsus, and possibly make her own. But during that year she was walking to tsunades office to get shizune to talk when she overheard talking in her office.

~MINI-FLASHBACK~

Sakuras POV

I heard tsunade call out all of the 'new' Konoha 12 and senseis. She was talking to them all about something.. but what? I leaned in closer and listened. I was completely shocked.

"Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Karin Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru, Shino Aburame, Kurenai Yuki, Ino Yamanaka, Skikamaru Nara, Choji Akamichi, Asuma Saratobi, Tenten, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, and Might Guy, do the seventeen of you accept this two year mission to kill as many Akatsuki members as possible?" Tsunades muffled voice says.

"HELL FUCKING YEA BAA~CHAN" Naruto yells.

"Dobe, don't talk so loud." I hear Sasuke say.

"Tch whatever" Naruto mumbles.

"Tsunade~sama, when do we leave?" Shikamaru asks.

"In one hour you will all meet at the northern gate." Tsunade says.

I have listened enough. Now, I will become the strongest kunoichi they all have ever seen.

~END OF MINI-FLASHBACK~

Now, as she's training her ass off, she's waiting for these two years to end so she can show off the power, and new rank she is going to earn with only the Hokages first apprentice knowing.
