~New Life- Chapter 2~
I am adding techniques for Sakura to use.
Recap:
"Show us three jutsus."
"Here I go."
First Sakura used her chakra infused fists to crack the base of the stage in two. Then she used a jutsu she had picked up from Kabuto. Her hands turned into blue chakra blades. She cleanly sliced the provided tree in half. She finished it off with a summoning jutsu. After the hand signs, a fire phoenix was summoned by Sakura. It pulverized the rest of the provided greenery with one burst of fire.
"What's next?" Sakura asked patiently.
"What was your job before here?"
"I was a medic nin and a jonin."
"What are your medical skills?"
"I was the Hokage's student, also the famous Copy Ninja Kakashi's student. My medical skills have surpassed the Hokage's level. I was a senior nurse at the best hospital in Konoha."
"What does the town think of you?"
"Well, the town wants to keep me locked in a stupid house with a selfish idiot as a husband just so he can remake the Uchiha clan! I'm one of the best ninja there but noooo! They have terrible vision and will never be able to see that!"
"Okay then."
"Sorry for the outburst. I'm just a little angry."
"Well Sakura, we have good and bad news. The good news is that you have passed our test and you are now an Under. The bad news is that your town will probably send ninjas to find you."
"No, I bet they think I'm dead. I had gotten extra blood from the hospital to make it look like it was mine. I also left a note and no trace of me to find.
"Good work. Anyways, Ayaneko will show you to your new home. We move occasionally so don't leave things all unpacked.
"Okay."
~~~Back with Shizune~~~
Recap:
"I never got to tell her that I loved her Shizune."
"What?" Shizune said with a look of disbelief on her face.
"I had always loved her since our team broke up."
"Then why did you agree to Sasuke's rules?"
"I thought that it would go away if I didn't see her for awhile. I didn't want her life to be ruined by our age difference."
"YOU IDIOT!" Shizune roared!
"What now?" Kakashi asked, clearly confused.
"Nobody would have cared! A lot of us would have been happy! You needed someone to love and she was perfect! Gah! Why are men so idiotic?"
"You guys wouldn't have punished us?"
"No, Tsunade had been watching to see when you would make a move. Now that is not a possibility!"
"What if she isn't dead? What if this was because she was angry?"
"There was blood and a piece of her hair Kakashi."
"Can you scan them? I need to know if she is still out there."
"Okay, I'll tell Tsunade."
"Thank you."
Shizune left his house to report to Tsunade. She didn't stop by Naruto with the chance of Sakura still being alive. She made her way to the Hokage tower and rushed up the steps to Tsunade's office.
"Lady Tsunade, would you mind scanning the ashes to see if it really is Sakura's DNA?"
"Go ahead and scan them when you get the free time. The ashes are right here."
Tsunade pulled them out of her desk and handed them to her assistant. Shizune grabbed the bottle and rushed to the hospital. Scanning it, she left the room and waited outside for it to finish. When she heard the beep she rushed in to recover that product. What was on the paper was quite a sight. It read:
This is not a human's DNA. This is ashes from a building and nothing more. The blood is from the hospital's supply of AB positive.
"Ahhhhh! This is so amazing!" Shizune screamed and rushed of to Tsunade's office.
"Tsunade! It wasn't her DNA!"
"Go tell everyone who thinks she is dead!"
"I would love to my Lady."
Shizune rushed back to Kakashi's house and told him the results. She couldn't keep the tears of joy from spilling out of her eyes. Kakashi's face brightened instantly. His one eye turned sunny and merry.
"She's still out there! I'm going to find her!"
"You have to get Tsunade's approval first."
"Okay."
*POOF* He disappeared into a puff off smoke with falling leaves. Shizune made her way back to Sasuke's house. Telling him the news was easy; his reaction was the terrible part.
"Good, the selfish brat is still alive. Too bad I don't care about her unless she comes back."
He proceeded to slam the door in the messengers face, again.
~~~With Kakashi~~~
"Tsunade, can I have your approval to search for Sakura?"
"Fine, team up with Sasuke and Naruto. Meet at the gate tomorrow at eight. You will have a year to search for her. If you still haven't found her, you will come back. Understood?"
"Hai."
He then went off to tell Naruto and Sasuke the mission.
~~~Back with Sakura~~~
Sakura met up with Ayaneko and was lead to her new house.
"You should disguise yourself."
"Okay."
Sakura touched the roots of her hair and it changed into a dirty blond. It grew longer than it was before. She then touched her clothes and they changed into a purple tank top with black shorts. Her shoes changed into three inch heels that were strappy and black. She then touched her skin and it became tanner.
"There, how do I look?"
"Awesome! Now let's embark on our journey throughout the towns of the world!"
"I thought we were going to my new house?"
"A newbie travels for a year and then settles down but continues to travel occasionally. This also builds up your reputation."
"Then let's go have some fun!"
"Oh yeah!"
~~~During the next year~~~
Sakura traveled through towns by the name of Ryo. It meant distant so she thought it was a perfect match. She gained a reputation by gambling, stealing, and lying. She learned these skills from Ayaneko who was the only person she knew. She also lock-picked and pocket-picked when she felt like it.
Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke traveled around. They were always in the same towns but never saw each other. Kakashi thought he saw Sakura's emerald eyes one but he wasn't sure. They searched everyday for the whole year. Sasuke never really cared about finding Sakura but Naruto and Kakashi used their full effort everyday. They were determined to find Sakura, each for their own reasons. Kakashi needed to find her so he could confess his love. Naruto wanted to find his good friend and first love. He was now hooked up with Hinata.
Both groups continued on until the year had finished. They then went back to the beginning place. Sakura and Ayaneko found a town while the three boys went back to Konoha.
~~~With the boys~~~
They reported back to Tsunade to conclude their mission. Sasuke could care less but Naruto and Kakashi were heartbroken. They had longed to find Sakura and bring her back. They were never the same. Tsunade kept them busy with missions. She had a new mission but first, she needed the help of two criminals. Those criminals were called...
~~~With Ryo (Sakura) ~~~
We found a town to stay at. When we finally found a place to stay we were interrupted. Some leaf Anbu had found Ryo when she was coming home from work. Ryo signaled Ayaneko without the Anbu knowing of the communication.
"We are here from orders of Lady Hokage. She would like your assistance along with Ayaneko's assistance in taking back what is rightfully hers."
"Details please?"
"We are not authorized to share the specifics of this mission until we know your acceptance is assured."
"Why does she need our help?"
Ayaneko stepped out of the shadows at this time. The Anbu weren't surprised at all. Instead they look somewhat relieved.
"Lady Hokage will need the help of criminals because this is a theft, robbery, and stealth task. We do not want he enemies to be aware of us at all. We also need information and the team chosen will be in new domain. This is all I am allowed to say."
"I will agree to this mission when I know the reward." Ryo and Ayaneko said simultaneously.
"We will provide protection and supplies."
"Okay, whatever." was Ayaneko's reply.
"Let's go." was Ryo's.
*POOF* They all disappeared into smoke.
~~~Hokage's Tower~~~
"We're here" Ryo said when they reached the Hokage's office.
"I need your skills for a secret mission that nobody else will know about."
"Details." Ayaneko demanded.
"You will be recovering our shinobi stats and documents from a secluded town under the law of Ryuk. Ryuk is an unknown person; therefore we need your skills."
"When do we meet our teams?"
"Tomorrow, in the training fields at eight. Anbu will take you there to keep watch over you."
"Hai."
~~~Training Fields~~~
Ryo and Ayaneko were resting under the shade of a tree. They kept their chakras hidden and acted like good friends just meeting together before work. When they felt six chakra signatures they became alert but didn't show it. Ryo felt as if these chakra signatures were familiar. Realization struck and she quickly masked her showing discomfort.
"These are my old teammates and friends chakra signatures." she whispered where only Ayaneko could hear.
The six showed up before Ayaneko could reply. Grouped together were Naruto, Sasuke, Yamato, Sai, Ino, and lastly Kakashi. Ayaneko studied them without being noticed while still in her conversation about work with Ryo.
"Have you two seen two criminal-looking people?" Naruto asked.
"Shut up Naruto. Don't involve civilians in our missions." Sasuke replied coolly.
"You tell him Sasuke!" Ino chirped in.
"Pay attention you three!" Yamato declared.
Ryo took this time to stand up along with Ayaneko. They looked at each other, smirked, and then let a burst of chakra flow out of them startling the other members of their team. The others finally took this time to shut their mouths. Ayaneko's tail was swishing back and forth while her ears were twitching. Stunned, Naruto's mouth fell open as it formed a gasp.
"You two are the criminals?"
"Yo!" Ayaneko replied with a wink and a twirl of her tail.
"You guys should really be more observant." Ryo stated with satisfaction.
All the others teammates looked Ryo and Ayaneko up and down. Most of the boys blushed at what they saw, except Sai of course.
Ryo was wearing a pink tank top that stopped 2 inches above her belly button. It had a jeweled dashed-line design on it. Her shorts stopped mid-thigh. They were plain black with studs on the border of them. She wore her dirty blond hair down as it blew in the wind. She had placed a pink bow on the side of her head. Her emerald eyes shined in the sunlight. The eye shadow she was wearing made them stand out even more. They caught every movement happening around her. Her nails were painted with an intricate white-on-black design. She was wearing 2 inch heels that were a pink color bordered with black. She had also put on a red lipstick that made her lips fuller.
Ayaneko had her purple hair still in a Karin style. Her cat ears and tail stuck out as well as her pointy tooth. Her eyes were mesmerizing when the sunlight shone on the depths and whirls of the purple and blue colors. She wore a blue tank top that ended 1 inch under her breasts. It had a silver lining at the top. It also had a silver swirl design. She wore shorts that didn't even reach mid-thigh. They were black with silver scratches. Fishnet crawled up her right arm from her wrist to elbow. She had multiple blue, green, and purple bracelets on her other arm. She wore purple heels that were strappy and went up her ankles. They were a 5 inch heel. It was a wonder how she could even fight in those. She had on green eye shadow and a lighter red shade of lipstick.
When Naruto and Kakashi saw Ryo's eyes they both had the same thought. 'Is that Sakura?' Naruto shook of this feeling as it was obvious that it wasn't Sakura in front of him. Kakashi however, kept this thought lodged in the back of his mind.
~~~End Chapter~~~
Me: What do you think? The next chapter will be the start of the mission! If you have any ideas I would like to hear them!
