AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey there everyone! Guess whose back, back again, with a new chapter??? That's right! Me! Well here is another chapter and I will ask the same question I asked last time, but this time it is at the beginning and not the end. Should there be a time skip after this? Or should I finish the story when Sakura and company are 15/16???
Anyway…..I will let you think about that, right now its time for another chapter! And this chapter is about to reveal a few things. ;) !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting dragged by Ten-Ten to go to the Ramen Restaurant, Sakura made her way home. Her parents should be home. And it was time to have them answer a few questions. Wither they like it or not.
'Ok so I am going to spill everything to them, and they better tell me the truth.'
'Or what? You will destroy the house?'
'No. I will storm out of there and figure it out all on my own.'
Before long, Sakura was in front of her house. Taking a deep breath she opened the door only to hear screaming coming from the kitchen. Wanting to know what was going on, but not wanting to get caught, Sakura covered up her chakra and hide herself under the bar. Providing perfect cover as a hiding spot and perfect place to hear what they will be saying.
"No! That damn Hokage! He made my little girl go to Cloud! What if she remembers Tai?!"
"Sweetheart calm down. The rarity that Sakura will remember her early childhood is slim to none."
"But remember she asked about that Uchiha?! What if he told her?"
"Tokie listen. Itachi can't activate any memories."
Sakura's mom was getting pissed now and she glared at her husband, her eyes went from green to orange. Her husband glared at his wife.
"Don't you look at me with those eyes Tokie. I now that San and Itachi were together, but Itachi was so…."
Tokie was screaming now, fire starting to encircle her. "He did what he did! No doubts about that. And I will be damned if he did anything to Sakura! I lost one daughter I am NOT LOOSING ANOTHER ONE!"
Sakura saw as the flames started to spin more wild with every passing minute. All because of her mother's overreaction.
'Her eyes……they are orange. Just like when San-NeeChan said in her diary. Does that mean that I have it to?'
'But she proved our assumption. Itachi and NeeChan were together.'
'Then how did she die?'
'I do not now.'
Sakura got up from the ground, back tracing to the door. Hearing enough and all this new information was making her head spin. She needed to get out of there and stop their yelling fast. Therefore she walked up to the door and knocked on the kitchen door, signaling that she was home.
"I'm home!" Sakura said.
Tokie and Tai stared at each other, eyes wide. Tokie deactivated her spinning fire balls and Tai repaired anything that was out of the ordinary.
"Sakura! Sweetie! Your home!" Her mom said as she rushed out of the door and tackled her daughter into a hug.
"Yeah." Sakura said.
"How was your mission, sweetness? Did you see any of your relatives down in Cloud?" Tai asked.
Tokie released her daughter and sent Tai a look. He dismissed it and turned his full attention to his daughter.
"Well I only saw Auntie Rain, since she was the Sensei of the person we had to bring."
"Oh really?" Tai asked in surprise.
"Yes. But if you don't mind, mom and dad…..Can I ask you a question?" Sakura asked, knowing full well that they would dismiss her or change the subject.
"Sakura, honey. Now isn't the time to have a curious mind. Why don't you go up stairs and read or something." Tokie said staring at her daughter with a sad expression.
Sakura was getting mad right now. They never trusted her with anything or would tell her anything if it related to her mom's side of the family.
"Why wont you tell me anything?!" Sakura yelled. Staring at her mom with a glare in her eyes.
Tai gasped and so did Tokie. Because little did Sakura know was that her eyes went just like her mother's. Except for the fact that instead of them having a orange iris and a black pupil, hers were orange with red pupils.
"S-Sakura. Don't you d-dare take they kind of tone with me! You know what, why don't you go out and find something to do and don't come home till dinner is ready." Tokie said running back into the kitchen.
Sakura looked at her dad, he just smiled at her. He always was the calm person between the three of them. "Just give your mom some time. She has been under a lot of stress and she just needed to vent out. Unfortunately you were what she vented out on." He said with a smile.
Sakura only smiled, slightly, and ran out the door. A plan forming in her mind as she ran as fast as she could.
'Fine, it they won't tell me. Then it is time to figure out this whole thing out. Once and for all.'
'Not the library! Not again!'
'Shut it! We need to get answers and fast. No one will tell us anything so it is up to us to figure out what exactly everyone is hiding.'
As Sakura ran to the library she came across a burnt down barn house. Sakura really never paid attention to it, that is until now. Because once she looked at it, another "dream" came to her.
---------Flashback!!!
It was around 7:00 at night and San, her and Itachi were standing inside a barn. Itachi and San were battling each other. Little Sakura sat on the ladder, away from the battle. She knew why San asked Itachi to battle her, and it was because San had a triumph card, well next to her famous "Five Star Element Jutsu" of course.
"Come on Itachi! Is that all you got?" San egged on.
Itachi just smirked. "No, I am going easy on you. Is this the best YOU have."
San just grunted and glared at him. "I told you not to go easy on me! Come on!"
'I don't know why she wants me to go all out, but ok. I just won't go all out, all out.'
With that famous smirk glued to his face, his steps became quicker and his punches came at her harder. San had a hard time trying to figure out from which angle he was punching the punches.
'So this is his full strength. Time to show him my new trick.'
San smiled as she blocked his punches and kicks. Itachi, even though he didn't show it, was confused and little Sakura was standing up on the ladder she was sitting at. Knowing full well what San was doing.
Before Itachi could stop his attacking fist, a huge flame came as a shield between him and her.
'Where did that come from. She didn't summon any chakra or else I would of known it.'
Itachi back flipped a few feet away from her and stared at her. That is when his Shuringan activated.
"Sorry Itachi. But your Shuringan can't pick this up!" San said with a giggling voice behind her words.
"Hn." Was all he said.
San didn't let him figure out her secret, yet, because she then had the flames fly at him trying to attacking him. Itachi took out his kunai, seeing if it was either a genjutsu or if the fireballs were any type of gadget that she made.
Unfortunately The kunai's thrown did nothing and the flames still came at him. Some hit him, not causing him burns but causing him cuts and some hit the barn. When Itachi looked up at her, her eyes were no longer the green he got lost in. they were a orange that represented the intense blaze of the sun.
"San…..your eyes….."
San smiled at him, stopping her technique. He saw what she wanted him to see.
"Ha! No longer will I be left out! Ha! I have a blood limit to!" San said jumping up and down.
Itachi just shook his head. "You wanted to battle me, to show me that?"
San stopped jumping up and down and pouted, her cute pout. "It is more interesting then just telling you."
Itachi came over to her and grabbed her wrist, pulling her closer to him. "You never seize to confuse me." Itachi whispered in her ear, causing her to blush.
"Hello! I hate to stop your little session, but the barn is burning!" Little Sakura yelled.
San snapped out of her daze to see that her flames caused the wood to burn, which the barn was made out of, which is now getting tiered apart! Itachi didn't let go of San, causing her to look at him with irritation, but he ignored it. He picked up San her waist, ran over to little Sakura and grabbed her by the waist as well.
Wasting no time, Itachi ran out of the burning barn and they all sat on the grass. They didn't have much time to catch their breath because Tokie, Tai, Mikoto, and Fugaku stood in front of them. Tokie had a pissed off expression. Tai sighed, Mikoto laughed and Fugaku glared, mainly at San but only Itachi noticed.
"San! What were you three doing in there?!" Tokie yelled.
San sat up and giggled. "I was showing Itachi my bloodline…..Why is that a bad thing?"
Tokie was about to burst but Tai covered her mouth. "No it isn't, but you might want to use it when you are not around wood."
Little Sakura laughed at San's face, since it was red as a tomato from embarrassment.
Mikoto turned to her son and smiled at him. "Sweetheart. I will never understand how you are able to put up with this wild one." Mikoto finished looked at San as she and Sakura walked over to their parents.
"Itachi. I expected better from you." Was all Fugaku said.
------End Flashback!!
Sakura's eyes widened. She finally figured out that all of the "dreams" she was having were not dreams at all. But flashbacks to things that happened when she was young.
'That is what Okaa-San meant when she said she didn't want me to remember. But what exactly did she not want me to remember?'
'I don't know.'
'No matter. We have to hurry to the library. Finally some of the pieces of the puzzle are coming together.'
--------------At the Library---------------
When Sakura stepped in the library all the librarians waved at her and she smiled. She then made her way up to the top floor. When she got up to the top floor she saw her whole team there. And the perverted white haired man was there to.
"Hey Sakura-Chan!" Naruto yelled. No one shushed him because it was just them up there.
Sakura smiled at him and let him hug her. Sasuke grunted at the sight and turned back to his book. Jiraiya had a paper and pencil out getting everything down. Kakashi was sitting there waving at Sakura.
"What brings you here Sakura?" Kakashi asked, very confused on why she was at the top floor of the library.
'Umm how do I explain that the books I need are in the volt that are right behind him?'
'Um by telling him….duh!'
'I can't! They would be all, how did you manage to open that?'
'Then you are Sol. Shut out of luck.'
'Thanks a lot.'
"Umm….."
Sakura was saved however by Naruto jumping to conclusions on why she was here. Sakura only smiled at his guesses. Knowing that he would never get it. Sasuke only grunted "Dobe."
"What did you say Teme?!"
'Oh no not again.'
"I said Dobe. Why? Afraid of the truth?"
"No! But I am not a Dobe! But you are a Teme!"
Sakura was getting a vein popping out of her head. They were getting on her nerves. After her yelling fest with her mom, she had little patience. But it seemed that the only tow people that actually sensed that she was beyond agitated was her Sensei and Jiraiya.
"Blondie…"
"Sasuke….."
"I think you should…" Said the two of them at the same time. But it was to late. Sakura cracked.
"STOP FIGHTING!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. Her voice bounced off the walls and echoed throughout the whole Library. Everyone had no idea what hit them.
'Ah……She reminds me of Tsunade. If that is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm not sure.' Jiraiya thought.
When Sasuke and Naruto stopped fighting, everyone looked up and gasped. Her eyes, they returned to their orange iris and red pupil state.
'What the?' Thought Jiraiya.
'Sakura-Chan sure is scary! And her eyes changed colors! Is that normal?'
'First her eyes went from forest green to emerald, at least that was in the same color range. Now they completely change color. What is going on with her?' thought Sasuke.
"Sakura. Are you ok?" Asked Kakashi. Not missing that her eyes were orange.
Sakura stared at her Sensei and smiled. Her eyes returned back to her emerald state. Causing everyone to have a huge sweat drop, even Naruto.
"Yeah. Why?" She asked, confused as ever.
Jiraiya stared at the girl. 'It can't be…… Could she be part of the Sentare? But she is a Haruno. Her mom must be one then. Confusing.' "It is nothing. You just screamed loud." Jiraiya said.
Sasuke and Naruto turned to Sakura. "Why are you here, back to the original question." Naruto asked again.
Sakura turned pail. 'Shit. How can I come up with a explanation?'
'Come on we are smart enough to think of something!!'
'Ah! What do I say?! Wait a minute! I got it!'
"I'm up here because normally the Librarians don't let me wonder the higher level of books until it is late enough out, that no one comes in. I didn't expect to come across you all here."
"Blondie and I are here, because he needs to read more."
"Sasuke and I are here because he needs to brush up on a few techniques."
Sakura nodded her head, having the feeling of not having a Sensei washing upon her. She soon got over it when she figure out what she needed to do.
"Oh. Well I'll let you all get back to work because I have to find something anyway."
"You said that you didn't come up here for any real reason." Sasuke said. Catching her slip.
"I'm not. I come at night to read the higher level books and I want to finish off where I started." Sakura said covering up her slip, and quite well to.
Sasuke grunted again. Feeling stupid, but didn't show it.
"Sakura-Chan! Need some help finding your book?!" Asked Naruto.
Jiraiya snatched the boy by his collar and forced him back down. "No you don't! You need to read that book. And you will not move until you are done!"
Naruto just snickered and got back to reading his book. Sakura saw them all busy and she disappeared into the familiar rows of books.
'How can I get in there without them knowing my true intentions?'
'Remember how we got in this place when it was closed, try that.'
'Can't. Remember when the door took so long to open? I can't release that much Chakra without causing them to notice me doing something. And I would be completely out of chakra.'
'Then I guess we are stuck?'
'Not necessarily.'
Sakura smiled to herself. As a thank-you for her being so smart. She then returned back to her team's place. She then went down the stairs and returned with one of the librarians.
"What is it I can do for you Sakura-Chan?" Asked the nice lady.
"Can you get me that top book on top of this shelf?" Sakura pointed to the book that was on top of the shelf that was right next to the room filled with ANBU accessed books.
This caused Kakashi and Jiraiya to look at each other. Sasuke and Naruto looked at the door with curiosity.
"Hey Kakashi-Sensei, Ero-Sensei. What is behind that door?"
Jiraiya and Kakashi just slapped their hands against their foreheads. Now that Sakura pointed to the door the boys were curious. And everyone knows that you can't get a teenage boy to stop being curious once the cat is out of the bag.
"Must you know what is behind the door?" Asked Jiraiya.
"YESSS!!" Naruto exclaimed.
Meanwhile the Librarian made her way over to the book and handed it to Sakura. Sakura thanked her and the librarian stayed up just incase anyone needed her help. When Sakura turned she saw what the boys were doing. They were doing exactly what she wanted them to do. And soon Kakashi and Jiraiya would get so disgusted that they would till them and then they will want them to open it.
"It has more books in it." Kakashi said obviously.
"Duh. Why can't we go in it." Sasuke said. Staring at the door.
"Because only ANBU can get in." Jiraiya said.
The Librarian turned to the white haired man and shook her head. "No that isn't true."
Kakashi and Jiraiya stared at her with calculating eyes. "What do you mean?" Kakashi asked.
The Librarian turned to them and Sat down in a chair. "It has been a extreme pain in the butt recently. Ever since we found it opened a while back, ANBU have put in Camera's to make sure no one unwanted entered."
"Why. What happened last time." Sasuke said.
She just sighed. "About a few days before your mission, Sakura-Chan told me you all went on a mission, Someone came in at night, came to the top floor and stole some books. The strange part is that they only stole a few books and from one section. The ANBU said that a ninja not in ANBU did it. Since they didn't recognize the chakra signature."
Sakura turned pail. 'Could they know it was me? God I hope not. I need to get out of here before I am doomed!'
She looked around to see everyone very drawn to the story and she thought it wouldn't be long until she would be discovered. So she did what all teenager girls did. They screamed.
Everyone turned to her and stared at her like she was on fire. Sakura laughed sheepishly and smiled. "Sorry, it's just I didn't know what time it was and I have to go. See you all around."
When she left the Librarian got back to telling her story and they all listening intently.
---------In the woods-------
Sakura ran as fast as she could. Soon she stopped when she reached a huge Sakura Tree. She climbed to the top of the tree and she could see every single tops of the trees.
'That was to close for comfort.'
'Tell me about it.'
'Time for plan B. Summon that Tiger. Maybe she has some answers.'
Sakura looked down at her charm bracelet, thank god her parents didn't see that or they might have figured out she has started to remember everything. She will tell them once she figures out everything.
The charm bracelet had a flower, a cloud, a water droplet and a snow flake.
'Ok! So Kinkwa-neko-Chan came from the flower and I am guessing that the water droplet is something to do with water, cloud to do with air, and a snow flake to do with winter.'
'Obviously.'
Sakura shook her head and concentrated on her chakra. Soon she concentrated on the thing that was in front of her and her chakra left her body and soon there was a big flash.
Sakura shielded her eyes and when she opened them, right next to her was a beautiful white dove.
"Hello there." Sakura said, stretching her arm out so the dove wouldn't get frightened.
"Hello. Sakura-Sama."
Sakura retracted her hand and stared at the bird wide eyed. "You can talk?"
"Hai. I am a animal Sprit after all."
Sakura nodded her head. "Then you can fill me in."
"Depends what it is you want to ask."
"I know that there are four of you and I know what element you come from, but I need to know is what can all of you do."
The dove flew on top of her shoulder and sat there. Enjoying being high up. "Well you meet Kinkwa-neko-Chan, so I am Kai-Chan. The one with the water charm is a dolphin called Yae-Chan. And the snow flake one is a Snow Leopard called Naachi-Chan."
"And what do you all do?"
The dove simply shook its head. "Why the curiosity all of a sudden Sakura-Sama?"
Sakura fixed her glaze from the dove to the tops of the trees. "Because. I want to figure this all out, this whole big secret my Okaa-San and just about everyone else is keeping from me."
"Hai. Very well. I will tell you what we do, but that is it. What I do is I can carry any messages that you want me to. I am very fast with those messages, and I also used to carry things, like a storage. Naachi-Chan, being the snow leopard, she can be used for stealth, collecting information. Don't let her size fool you, stealth is her specially. Yae-Chan, is used to wander anywhere in the water. He can be used for transportation, through water of course and He is the best tracker, tracking any human or animal."
Sakura looked at the bird again. "And what about Kinkwa-neko-Chan?"
The dove moved from Sakura's shoulder to her hand, that was out stretched to have it land on her hand. The bird was surprisingly light. "She is our leader. She is beset in battles, well we all can battle but she is preferred. She can do anything you ask her to. Her power is well known through the animal spirits. You have heard of the three legendary animal spirits that belong to the three legendary Sannin's and they all say that there was one more animal to add, and that would be Kinkwa-neko-Chan."
Sakura nodded her head, digesting every bit of information she got from the beautiful dove. Then she smiled at the bird. "Thank you very much Kai-Chan. You have helped become one more step to figuring out this mystery. But I have one more request, if that is ok with you."
The dove stared at his master with those beady eyes. "Sakura-Sama, we will do anything you ask us to do. Now, what would you like me to do?"
Sakura stroked the bird with a gentle stroke, having Kai wrinkle his feathers with approval and thankfulness. "I need you to get me a few books. They have high security in there and if they see me, it will lead to nothing good. Since they have no idea that I can summon more animal's….they have only seen Kinkwa-neko-Chan, so I need your help. Please?"
The dove nodded its head and in a flash it was gone. Sakura stood there, admiring the scenery.
'Soon, I will get to the bottom of this whole thing!'
'They don't call us genius's for nothing! Cha!'
'Hai.'
Sakura thought to her inner self, then she turned her head to the scenery and continued to admire its beauty. Unaware and uncaring of what was going on in the world below her.
--------------OHHHH TO BE CONTUNUED!!!----------------
Author's notes: I made this chapter extremely long so I could staify everyone's need for a chapter. I was going to make this chapter the Final Exam for Chunin, but I needed one or two chapters with Sakura trying to figure out what is going on. And there is once part of it. The net part will be just as action packed!! If this one was action packed…that is.
