Warning: Do not approach. Haruno can decimate mountains by focusing chakra into her fists, and has destroyed platoons of ninja all on her own.

Sakura sighed as she read the Bingo Book. How do these people find all of this stuff out? The fact that they knew when she was promoted, was unnerving. Wanted for so much in Oto jeez! Then, she was marked down for killing Sasori, when Chiyo was the one who made the final blow.

She placed the book back on the desk and looked at her shishou. The woman looked to be holding in her glee. Glee from what? Sakura had no idea.

"They don't know anything about you that's actually dangerous! It's great! To think that you have that much money over your head and they don't even know the worst! Good job at keeping your hide clear! Just what I would expect from my apprentice!" Tsunade smiled, looking smug.

Sakura gave the woman a questioning look, "What do you mean my Lady?"

The blonde gave her a look, "They don't know that you can revive people, no matter how long they've been dead, with the Reanimation Ninjutsu. Nor do they know that you possess the Reverse Seal like me. Or that you invented an Invisibility Jutsu. All they know is that you're smart with unmatched physical strength, and that you're good at Genjutsu. You've done well to not let your best secrets be known."

Sakura tried not to blush. When Tsunade complemented someone, she meant it. To get such a thing from the woman was a rarity, and Sakura couldn't help but enjoy seeing her mentor gloat over her students achievements.

"Thank you, my Lady," Sakura replied with a bow.

"Well, now that that's over, lets get on with the mission," Tsunade put the Bingo Book away, and pulled out a scroll. "You will be heading to Oto on a high A, low S-Class mission."

Sakura sighed, there again?

"I know how you feel, but it's important. There are rumors of a new leader taking over Orochimaru's remaining bases. I need you to get into Oto and find out any information you can get. This is a reconnaissance mission, you cannot be seen which is why you were chosen. You are the only person able to use your Invisibility Jutsu as of right now, so it has to be you. Besides, you have never failed a reconnaissance mission because you can mask your chakra perfectly," the Hokage explained, twining her fingers together. "Jiraiya will continue when you return."

Sakura sighed and nodded, "Very well. When shall I leave?"

"Now."

The pink haired shinobi left quickly, deciding to head for the gates. She already had everything she needed, and wanted to get the stupid mission over with. She hated going to Oto. Not just because Orochimaru had run the place, but because the people were horrible and rude. She also didn't like the landscape, it was rocky and boring.

Halfway to Oto, she activated her Invisibility Jutsu. It was always better to overreact than do nothing at all. She was trained enough to make the trip in a days time, and had no teammates with her to slow her down.

Solo missions were always the best. One never had to worry about the safety of their comrades because they were alone. They wouldn't be hindered by others who couldn't keep up and needed to rest every few hours. It was just them and the mission. No fear of the team being captured or killed or even defecting from the goal.

That was what made Sakura happy. She could finish the mission in three days, if she was able to find out some good enough information.

She ran well into the night, until she came across one of the small villages within Oto. It was always being targeted by thieves because it was so small. People tended to walk around with nasty expressions because of this. It wasn't a well off village by any means. It reminded her of Tazuna's village, when Gato was terrorizing everyone.

She crept around the rooftops, watching for anything that looked mysterious. Everyone just looked angry. The perpetual frowning was beginning to put her in a bad mood as well.

What really confused her though, was the fact that every villager was outside, even though it was after midnight. What could everybody be doing at such an hour?

She didn't have to wait very long. In the distance, coming toward the village gates, was a group of men. With her advanced eyesight, Sakura could tell that the men were shinobi. Each was carrying some kind of weapon, and they all looked to be angry. More angry than the villagers were.

They walked into the village with an annoying air surrounding them. It was like they owned the place.

The men began to attack villagers and shops, destroying everything. Sakura watched as fires were started, and she wished she could get involved. With her mission, she couldn't reveal herself even if was to save lives.

The devastation continued, and Sakura was about ready to blow her cover, but stopped when a large mass of chakra invaded the area.

The ninja were all blown away by a large tornado that appeared. A man stepped from the swirling wind and smirked.

"Is that all you have?" he taunted.

The ninja got to their feet and charged the man. No questions about who he was and no threats, just attacks. He used one wind jutsu and defeated them all easily. A little too easily in Sakura's opinion.

She watched as the man gave the village his name, which had her nearly falling off the roof, from almost laughing.

Seriously, who names a big buff guy, Kinzentaru(Gleeful) Puchi(Petite)? She wasn't the only person who was trying not to laugh. Many people were holding their hands to their mouths.

Kinzentaru stressed that he would help the village through it's difficult times and that he had taken over the spot left by the deceased Sannin. He promised not to use people as experiments because he didn't believe in such a thing and swore to lend aid whenever it was needed.

He then disappeared from their sight, and from Sakura's senses.

She watched as the people went about fixing their homes, now that the excitement was over. The fires needed to be put out and repairs had to be made.

Sakura couldn't help but feel how corny the whole situation was. A village is being tormented daily by a group of bandits and then a guy just shows up out of nowhere and kills them all. Then promises to keep them safe so long as they follow him. It was all too well played.

She got a name and a description. She could consider that as her information. Lady Tsunade did say 'any information'. She nodded to herself, yeah, she was going home.

She darted off, making the long trip back to Konoha.

When she was a few miles from the village, she came across a group of bandits trying to take out a Genin team from her village. The sensei, Genma of all people, was taking care of the enemy while his students were guarding the cart full of nicely wrapped items.

She watched for a few moments, enjoying how Genma's skill was obvious. She got an idea and pulled out her notebook, scribbling things down. Genma, and his talented mouth just gave her an idea for the next book in the Tabu series. A very good idea.

She put the book away when the bandits were taken care of and the team headed back to the village. She went ahead of them, entering the village swiftly and heading for the Hokage's office.

Lady Tsunade was alone and when Sakura appeared out of thin air, she jumped and cursed.

"Fuck! Dammit Sakura!"

She resisted the urge to snort at her leaders antics. "My apologies, Shishou."

The blonde fixed her with a skeptical look. "That was really fast for an S-Class mission Sakura, not even two days. What did you find out?" she asked.

Sakura sat in the seat in front of the desk and sighed. "I stopped at a village on the outskirts of the country and well, stuff happened. It was near midnight and every person in the village was outside. Not too long after I arrived, a group of ninja ran in and started to tear everything apart. Then this guy appears in a tornado and beats them all with a wind jutsu I've never heard of. He gave the village his name, explained that he had taken over the Sannin's place and would protect them. I can't help but think that it was all planned in a way. I mean, you should have been there my Lady, it seemed so corny."

"What was his name, Sakura?" the Hokage asked, wanting to get Jiraiya on the man's case.

"Kinzentaru Puchi."

A moment of silence passed between them and Tsunade's head tilted to the side, "What did he look like?"

"Big and muscular with dark hair and tanned skin. There was a scar down his chin on the left side. He looked the complete opposite of what his name suggests. I almost blew my cover by laughing at him."

There was another moment of silence before Tsunade burst out laughing. The name and the image just didn't match.

"Okay, okay. Write up your report and you can go. That must have been the easiest S rank in the world."

Sakura nodded, "You did say high A, low S, so you could only charge me for an A-rank my lady. I don't need an S-rank amount of money right now, I'm okay."

Tsunade grinned, "You're too nice for your own good Sakura. Now go home and write me some good porn!"


Sakura was spread out on her bed, writing the next chapter of her next Tabu book. Genma was like a goldmine of inspiration for her. Maybe she should check out other peoples abilities and see if they could be used in her stories.

"Hey Forehead!" a yell came from the front of the house.

Sakura closed the book and slipped it under her pillow. A just in case method so no one would find out her secret.

She moved from the room to let Ino in the house. Ino could get very impatient and for some reason, she still hadn't noticed that the key was in the lock and she could get in any time she wanted.

"Finally Forehead, I've been waiting for forever!"

"Or only a minute, Ino."

The blonde ignored her and moved into the house, heading for the kitchen. "What's the difference really? Anyway, I came to tell you some of the juicy gossip I just got. It concerns Genma."

Sakura waited it out patiently as Ino filled her in on Genma's latest sexual escapade. Really, she couldn't understand what Ino found so surprising. Genma was attractive and had an easy time getting women. He just had a really hard time keeping them, because they usually only ended up wanting the sex, his money or a reputation for dating him. Genma was known for going after ninja and civilians and yet in his thirties, still had no luck in the romance department. Poor guy.

Sakura stood, "I'll be right back. Then I'll cook dinner. Are you staying?"

Ino nodded enthusiastically. "Free food is great! You know how to make it healthy, but still taste good!" she cheered.

Ino waited until Sakura had closed the bathroom door before she moved toward the upstairs. Into Sakura's open bedroom, Ino looked around for anything different. Her friends was acting different as of late and she vowed to find out just what was going on.

Her eyes zeroed in on the bed and she noticed that one pillow was a little off balance, ruining the perfect image the bed made. She moved toward it, intent on fixing the issue. When she lifted the pillow away however, her eyes landed on a notebook.

"Foreheads, diary?" she asked herself gleefully.

Ino grabbed it and opened it to the first page. She read silently for a moment and then looked up. Finally, she turned the book around and gazed at the words on the cover.

Tabu Kami, by PinkyPi.

Ino stared for another moment, before she was out the door and jumping the flight of stairs. "Forehead!"

Sakura came running out of the kitchen, spoon in hand, "What?!"

Ino shoved the book in her face. "Why do you have a notebook called Tabu Kami?!" she screamed.

Sakura's face went a deep shade of red as she tried to grab the notebook. "Why were you going through my room, Ino you porker! Give it here!"

Ino ran from the room and into the den. Sakura was after her in a second, dropping the spoon on the way. "Ino!"

The blonde ran around the sofa, making sure to keep it between them.

Sakura rolled her eyes and leaned down, grabbing the bottom of the sofa and flipping it to the side. Ino gulped and backed away. She had no where to go, seeing as the sofa conveniently landed in front of the only real exit. She wasn't about to break Forehead's windows either.

"Ino, I want my book back!" Sakura growled.

"Why do you have it?! Do you know the writer or something? Are you trying to make your own version of the Tabu series?! What's going on?! Why won't you tell me?! I thought we were friends!" the blonde spazzed.

Sakura sighed, "It's my notebook Ino. And I've been writing the third book in the Tabu series, for the past two months."

Ino looked at her friend and then the book in her hands. By PinkyPi. Pink. Sakura was writing the third book?

Sakura rolled her eyes when Ino gasped.

"You're the writer of Tabu?! How and why?! And why wasn't I told?! I know everything!" she demanded.

Sakura plopped down on the floor. "Kakashi tends to come over here a lot and he brings his ninken. Pakkun stays with me usually after Kakashi leaves and one day, I was whining about how Icha Icha was pathetic and had poor plotting, so he challenged me to write something better. It was just a dare at the time, but then all this happened and Tabu ended up being popular."

Ino gaped, "You wrote a book, all because of a dare and it became famous?! Why didn't you tell anyone?!"

"Because it's embarrassing Ino! I don't want anyone to know but Shishou knew from the get go and now you know. I especially don't want Master Jiraiya knowing! Please Ino, you can't tell! I'm not ready," Sakura said, giving her best friend her puppy eyes.

Ino flopped down beside her friend, "Fine. But I want to know everything. I could even help give you ideas." She then relinquished the notebook.

"Thanks Ino," Sakura grinned, flinging her arms around the blonde.

"I'm just that great of a friend Forehead."

A/N: So, it's been awhile since I updated. Sorry.

The 'bad' guy has a girly name even though he's big and buff.

Ino knows!

How was it?

Let me know!

Ja ne! :D
