::.. Chapter II: Tomoyo and Satsui..::
"Why are the Akatsuki and Orochimaru after the Princess of the Flower Kingdom?!" Asuma asked bitterly.
"Calm down Asuma, let Tsunade talk," Kakashi said behind his book.
Asuma leaned his back on the wall and sighed then crossed his arms.
"She's the descendant of the celestial maiden, Haruno Tomoyo," Tsunade spoke up.
Kakashi closed his beloved Icha Icha Paradise then hid it, meanwhile, Asuma, Gai and Kurenai confused; Jiraiya only sighed.
::..Flashback..::
"Mou Sensei, tell me a story before I sleep," a 12 year old Tsunade sat beside an old or should I say a young Sarotobi.
There they were under the night sky. Two of their teammates sleeping, unknown to them one was faking his sleep.
"Hmm, Tsunade have you heard of a tennyo named Tomoyo?" he asked.
He chuckled a bit to see a confused Tsunade.
"Aren't tennyos a myth?" Tsunade asked.
"I'll tell you a story; she had raven hair that went all the way to her back with curls to the end. She had cerulean eyes, skin as snow and pink lips. They say she went down here to find her celestial rove." Sarotobi paused.
"What's a celestial rove sensei?"
"A celestial robe is somewhat their source of energy, when a human possess this, a 99 he'll be immortal and this celestial robe once joined its owner, becomes their clothing and power." He explained as he saw Tsunade let out an 'awe'.
He continued, "When she went down to earth, she saw a tall man training. They said he had purple hair and dark shade of emerald eyes. He took Tomoyo with him and they became friends. He knew she was a tennyo and protected her. Tomoyo grew fond of him."
"What's his name sensei?"
"Haruno Satsui," he answered.
"Spring…" she whispered.
"Months later they were falling in love. Satsui helped her in finding her celestial robe namely Mana. They found this and Satsui was proud. Tomoyo gave him half of this Mana and he was a tennyo as well. They knew everything, even the Forbidden jutsus, as well as everyone's bloodline. They were married. They healed people and helped them," Sarotobi smiled.
"They had a family of their own. Ones who also had tennyo powers and Manas. They marry their own family relative to keep the bloodline or descendants for being full tennyos. Then one night when Satsui promised her he'd be back after an S ranked mission, he wasn't back." He paused.
Tsunade wanted to hear more.
"An anbu squad went to their Manor, she knew something will happen. She ordered her daughter and son to go with the others to flee. She knew her daughter will give birth to her son. She told her daughter to name their baby – Cherry Blossom. They nodded and went with the others leaving Tomoyo with her bodyguards," he saw Tsunade a bit sad and continued.
"When Tomoyo gave half of Mana to Satsui she knew she wouldn't last. She saw Satsui a bit scratched.
::..The Story..::
"Tomoyo! Leave with the others! Go!"" Satsui running towards his wife.
"No! We both have to face them!" Tomoyo's tears kept on flowing.
"I don't want to lose you Satsui-kun!" Tomoyo hugged her husband.
"Me too…" he kissed her.
"Satsui-sama they're coming!" one of their bodyguards said.
"You guys go with Touya and Chikaru! Protect our children!" he shouted at them.
"But sir! How about-"
"Protect my descendant, Chikaru's daughter. She will have cherry blossom hair, soft emerald eyes and a replica of me when she turns seventeen." Tomoyo cut them off.
They ran off, knowing who to find and protect until death.
"My Tomoyo, we shall have to-"
"Yes my love," a bright light covered the town, purple and pink emerged.
Cherryblossoms falling.
No one died. Months later all Harunos died exception of Touya and Chikaru with their baby.
::..Back to the Flashback..::
"Rumors had it that Touya and Chikaru died after Akatsuki knew they were tennyos. No one knows where this replica of Tomoyo is. In time being she's being hunted by the leader of Akatsuki," Sarotobi ended.
Seeing a sleepy Tsunade, he laid her down.
"Hope they don't know where her descendant is, or else another war will commence," Sarotobi whispered.
The one with black hair heard, the story WAS true.
::..End of Flashback..::
"Haruno Tomoyo?" Asuma asked.
"The late Hokage told me story. No wonder I wanted to train her. I kept telling myself it wasn't true until Sakura came back." Tsunade informed them.
"So he knew, why didn't he tell us?" Gai asked.
"So that nobody will give Sakura special attention or Anbus watching her. He was watching Sakura grow with the care of her bodyguards, who posed as her parents, which Akatsuki killed." Kakashi answered.
"Why is that her Mana is separated from her anyways?" Kurenai asked.
"Probably it tested Sakura's strength without it. Without the robe – she's using 0.1 of her power, when she's sparing she uses 1 and missions; she uses 3, so basically the robe sealed Sakura's power." Tsunade analyzed.
The four jounins stunned, they didn't know Sakura's power was sealed away.
"Why did they want to kill the Harunos?" Kakashi asked.
"Taming one of their kind – will be a victor for that side.
"Sakura was entitled the savior and the killer of mankind," Jiraiya said.
"Tomoyo's good at genjutsu as Satsui with mostly at everything. They knew how to activate the different bloodlines, especially Tomoyo." Tsunade added.
"All?" Kurenai asked.
"Byakkugan, Sharinggan, Magenkkyou, etc. name it, they have it." Tsunade answered.
"You mean-?!" Asuma dumbfounded.
"She can destroy the world single handedly.
They shivered.
"Just don't let the children or anyone to know about Sakura's well being," Tsunade gave them a serious face.
"I bet Orochimaru's lap dog, Kabuto will be the one to lure her," Tsunade's brows frowned.
"Akatsuki knows its Sakura, be on high alert," Tsunade stood up and took out something from her desk.
The jounins eyes widened in shock.
"That's the-"Asuma was cut off.
"The Haruno seal. If Akatsuki or Orochimaru-bastard gets Sakura, seal this before she finishes the summoning jutsu, Sakura asked us a favor."
::..Flashback..::
"So the legend was true," Tsunade stood there amazed.
In front of her, a cloaked girl stood, she wore a lavender silk cloak.
"I'm going to ask a favor sensei…" she put down her hood.
"What is it Sakura?" she asked.
"If Orochimaru or Akatsuki captures me," she handed a blue seal.
"I want you or anyone for that matter to seal me, this is the Haruno tennyo seal; once placed, I will stop. This is only sealed in the middle of my summoning jutsu. Beware - "she trailed off.
"Beware what?" Tsunade observed the seal.
"Once I'm sealed, I stop breathing," Tsunade stared at her serious apprentice.
::..End of Flashback..::
"That's why you asked rookie 9 and Gai's team with us tagging along." Asuma couldn't believe his ears.
"And the reason you let the kids escort her is – "
"So that she can erase their memories of her, am I correct Tsunade?" Kakashi cuts off Kurenai.
"Yes, she couldn't bear to witness her friends to be bait just so she'll agree to go with Akatsuki and Orochimaru," Tsunade sighed.
