Not so Weak Anymore

Chapter Five

Tenshi's?!

-

Sasuke was in Orochimaru's newest base of the week, staring out the window. Water pelted the glass. The last little while had been extremely boring for the Uchiha. Nothing special had happened, except for pointless missions.

The sound of a door opening alerted Sasuke's senses. Standing at the opened door, stood Rei and Kabuto.

"What do you two want?"

"Orochimaru-sama has a new mission for you." Kabuto said.

"Hn." Sasuke said and got up. He passed by the two ninja and down the hall to Orochimaru's room.

" Do you think he'll accept the mission?" Rei said.

"I hope. We need him to do some spy work. Plus, the new time for the war to start is in ten months. With "him" joining our ranks and all…" Kabuto said with a smirk.

-

"What do you want ?" Sasuke asked showing little respect. Orochimaru licked his lips.

"My dear Sasuke-kun, Your mission is very important. You must not fail. Got it?" Orochimaru said. Sasuke nodded.

"I want you, to go back to the village of leaf. I want you to act as if you have betrayed me and you're becoming a Konoha shinobi again. Take this head with you to prove you did kill me. Kabuto made it especially for the occasion." Orochimaru throw a head on the table, which looked like his head. Sasuke didn't even look fazed that a head was laying on the table.

"Once you have gained their trust, learn as much about there defenses as you can. In ten months, we attack!" Orochimaru said devilishly. Sasuke, still with his stoic face on, nodded and left the room. Once out the room, Sasuke stood there frozen.

Was he really going back to Konoha? To his home? to his teammates who he almost killed a few times?

'Yes.'

-

It was 11:51 and Sakura was walking through the market to the place where they were all going to meet up. She was thinking about what the old man had just said to her.

'I'm an important person? Is he messing with me?'

She turned the corner to where they were going to meet up. She noticed Hinata, Tenten and Ino peering over the corner. It looked like they were watching something.

"Hey guys! I need to ask you something impor–"

"–SHHH!" they all said looking at Sakura with there fingers at their mouths. Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Come watch Konohamaru and Moegi!" Tenten said motioning Sakura over.

What they were witnessing was Konohamaru tying to apologize to Moegi. He had a bouquet of red roses, and a white teddy bear holding a heart. In the heart it said "Gomenasai." The girls awed Moegi looked surprised and blushed hard.

"Moegi, I'm sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen! It just I didn't kno-" he was cut off when Moegi hugged him.

"Apology accepted!" she said with a smile on her face. Konohamaru blushed as red as a tomato. He gave her the flowers and the teddy bear.

"Awwee! Look! There so cute!" someone called out. The two genin looked behind them, only to find the four chunnin girls. Ino was smirking at them.

" We…uh well–HEY YOU'RE 5 MINUTES LATE!" Konohamaru yelled. It was true. They were 5 minutes late. The whole episode the two genin had, made them somewhat late.

" Well it doesn't matter. LET'S EAT!" Sakura said.

-

"yumm.. that was so good. I get so sick of ramen after awhile. I have no idea how Naruto eats it all." Sakura said. They had just left the restaurant and it was 1:30.

" soo what do we do next?" Moegi asked. Sakura then remembered what the old man said.

" Uhm, you two go tour the village! The girls and I have somewhere to be, right ladies?" Sakura said edging the girls on. They all gave her confused looks.

"Uh, yeah…what Sakura said!" Ino said joining in. Sakura linked arms with the girls,

"Be back at the hotel by six!" and with that, Sakura pulled the girls off. The two genin cocked their eyebrows.

" Wow that was weird."

-

Hey Sakura! Where are you taking us!? I wanted to go look for-" Ino was cut off when they turned a corner. They stopped and looked at Sakura annoyed. Sakura put her serious face on.

"Where are your markings?" she said with a serious expression on her face. The three girls were in shock.

"H-How do you k-know?!" Hinata asked shyly.

"Because, I have the one too, and some old man told me you all had them as well!" She said showing hers. They all looked at it in surprise. Ino folded her arms together.

"Well, at least your marking is in a good place forehead girl, mines all up my shoulders, and down my arms!" Ino said showing a bit of hers.

"Mine circles my belly button." Tenten said unraveling the bandages and showing it. Hinata pulled up her pants, revealing hers.

"Mines wrapped around my ankle."

The girls all looked at each other with the same expression,

Bewilderment.

"The old man wasn't lying…" Sakura said in a low voice. Even in the low voice, the girls still heard.

"What old man?" Ino asked curiously. Sakura looked at her watch. 1:45.

"An old man approached me and told me about how he knew of my marking. He then said you all have markings too, and that if we wanna know more about it, we have to go to a shop called Destiny at two."

"Well, let's do it then! This marking has been freaking me out the past little while, so let's check it out." Ino said. Tenten and Hinata nodded,

"Alright, then lets go!" Sakura said. Something stopped her in her tracks however,

"Uh, anyone know where this shop is?"

All three girls sweat dropped, "Smooth move Sakura!" Tenten said jokingly. Hinata spoke up.

"I-I remember passing a store called D-Destiny during my souvenir shopping."

Sakura nodded, "Alright, lead the way!"

With Hinata leading the way, they reached the shop with five minutes to spare. Taking a deep breath, the girls headed inside. Inside of the shop, it was an old antique store. Old vases, pots and figurines were all around.

"Hello?" Sakura called out walking in slowly, looking around. Some noise came from a room upstairs, stomping down the stairs, appeared the old man Sakura saw earlier.

"I though you'd never come!" He said. Heading into another room with beads hung from the door. He proceeded in, signaling them to follow.

The reluctantly did. Entering the room, a long table was present with five seats sat in the middle of the room, with a flower vase in the middle of the table.

"Please, sit!" he said gesturing them to sit. They did as they were told, sitting down. The old man went into another room, and came back with a tray of tea, also carrying scrolls. He sat down at the end of the table, while the girls sat down close together.

The old man took a sip of his tea, before he began talking, "Ah, Haruno Sakura, Hyuuga Hinata, Yamanka Ino and Tasiba Tenten, am I not correct?"

They all nodded, a little scared at the fact he knew their name. There was a pause for a moment, as the old man took another sip of his tea. Before he could say anymore, Sakura spoke up.

"Who are you?"

Placing his tea down, he proceeded to talk, "I am Yugi Yasataka. I come from a village far from here. I've been searching for you girls for sometime."

"Why? Why us?" Tenten asked, wanting more info.

The old man flashed a grin, "much like Mai. Always wanting to find the answer."

All four girls gave the old man confused looks, "whose Mai s-sir?" Hinata asked.

"It's a long story, but we have plenty of time. Listen up, because this story will be the most important piece of information in all your lives."

Taking one last sip of his tea, Yugi put his cup down, "A long time ago, before Hokage's, Kazekages's, Mizukage's and all of the leaders existed, all the lands were ruled by a clan of extremely strong and talented ninja."

Pausing, he then continued, "They were known as the Tenshi clan, meaning the clan of Angels. Their powers were nothing that you girls have ever experience before. They owned every single elemental chakra there was. Every Tenshi wielded at least one kind of elemental chakra, while others could maintain more then one. They were the strongest clan that ever existed. They ruled all the lands–fire, wind, earth, lightning and water. There was also the royal family of this clan that had the final say in everything, and was in every important issue. Below them, there were a group people who ruled every country, much like the leaders today. They were all part of this special clan and were known to be the strongest within the countries, also how the leaders today are decided. The leaders were chosen depending on their 'Elemental powers.' The strongest from the Tenshi clan in fire jutsu's would obviously rule over fire country. The same went for every element."

The girls were listening inventively.

"Even though they were the strongest in their elemental power, there was still someone stronger then them. This person had the final say in everything–They were the Royal family. They were loved throughout every land. But they weren't chosen for any reason. The Royal family could master all elemental jutsu's. Fire, water… everything."

During this whole story, the girls each looked each other on the occasion, not knowing if they could believe this guy.

"This all took place about 1000 years ago. The newest leaders at that time, were said to be the strongest then. Same goes for the leader from the royal family. At that time, the leaders were known as Yumi Tenshi, country of Thunder, Rika Tenshi, country of water, Mai Tenshi, country of Fire, Sasha Tenshi, country of Wind and Rina Tenshi, country of Earth. The soon to be queen was Sakura Tenshi. They were all women at the time, and the strongest leaders that ever existed."

Unraveling a scroll, Yugi took it and slid it across the table, revealing its contents. A portrait of a man's face was plastered on the scroll.

"Everything seemed peaceful in the lands, but there was a hidden group of S-class criminal ninja called the 'blood lust'. There leader was stronger then all the leaders combined. His name was Kenji. He was part of a clan that was killed, for unknown reasons. This group, Blood lust, had fought with the countries of Wind and Earth, and whipped out everything in sight. Few survived… even the leaders, Sasha and Rina Tenshi died. Some doubted the powers of the leaders, calling them weak. Sakura decided to combine both Earth and Wind country into one and Mai Tenshi took over as leader of the newly formed country and fire country. Kenji kept killing more and more people as time went on, and the conditions began to get worse. Sakura, and the other four leaders had to combine their powers to kill Kenji, but they died in the process. This is why today you have the Kages. Earth and Wind split into there normal countries once again and there has been no royal family."

"So where do we come in?" Ino asked confused on the situation. Yugi smirked, "Kenji swore, in a new life time, he'd take over once again. The 3 leaders, and the princess, made sure they would be reincarnated, into four girls in the future. After careful research, I have come to the conclusion, that you four are those girls."

All four girl's eyes widened. Shock was evident all over their faces.

"W-What are you taking about? You can't be serious?!" Sakura said dumbstruck.

"Oh, but I think I am. Hyuuga Hinata, you are the reincarnation of Rika Tenshi. Your marking resembles waves, no?" Old man Yugi asked. Hinata nodded, holding her ankle.

"And you two," He said pointing to Ino and Tenten. " Ino, you are the reincarnation of Yumi and Tenten, you are the reincarnation on Mai. Your personalities reflect who they once were."

"Yeah, and what about me?" Sakura asked curiously. The old man smirked.

"You are the reincarnation of Sakura Tenshi. That's why your markings would have all 4 elements and a cherry blossom on it, no?"

Her eyes widened, "You can't be serious! That's impossible! I-I–"

"I'm dead serious. Kenji is said to make his return in the near future. This is why you four, have gotten the marks. History will not repeat itself again, and you four are destined to battle against him. You're the only hope we have."

" Wait, how come we're only being told this now?" Tenten said narrowing her eyes.

"The leaders and the Princess were only around the ages of 15-18 at the time. The age had to be appropriate, and Kenji would have to be coming back in the right time-span. Also, they were triggered after a very strong emotion inside of you is at its full potential. That emotion is love. Love for friends, lovers, family…anything. The Tenshi's went to great lengths to protect everyone they loved. This is also what caused you four to be chosen–your feelings towards those you love."

The girls all gave each other looked of worry, confusion and uncertainty. This was nothing they had ever gone before. Heck, this happens once a blue moon!

"So now what are we suppose to do? And what's with these markings?" Sakura asked.

"The markings show now that you are able to use the selected power. The power is only used when you put emotion into it. They will go away sometime tonight, but they will appear when you use the power from time to time. We think Kenji will make his return in ten months or so. He's a very strong man, and you girls must train. You may tell your teachers, or even the Hokage about this, but no one should really know about this. If word gets out, you will have Kenji followers after you."

"Wow… I don't know what to say. So now do we have to do the hero thing and save the world?" Tenten said.

"More or less, yes."

"But what if we don't want to do this?" Ino spoke up, unsure of this. Yugi knew this question was coming.

"It's your choice. I'm not pressuring you into anything, but know this–the world rests on your shoulders. You are the only ones who can defeat Kenji. However, I won't force you into this. It's your choice."

The girls fell silent, not having anymore to say. Yugi began rolling up the scroll on the table, "you may leave now. If you ever need me, I'll be here for four more days. After that, I won't appear for a long time."

The girls got up and bowed, thanking the man. Before Sakura could leave, the old man grabbed her hand.

"You, will play the biggest role. Think about it–it's up to you how the world will turn out."

-

It was 4:00 when they all walked outside and down the street towards their hotel. Lots of thoughts went through Sakura's mind about what he just said.

"Hey guys, I'm going for a quick walk. I'll be back at the hotel soon." Sakura said walking away. They all stared at her back as she walked off.

-

Sakura was walking and thinking, 'Me? Why me… all I want is to become one of the best Medical Ninjas around, and to rebuild team seven.'

She was so deep in thought, she accidentally bumped into a kid.

"Opps! Sorry!" the kid said and walked away. Something seemed weird about that kid. She checked for her wallet.

"HEY YOU LITTLE RUNT! GIVE ME BACK MY WALLET!" Sakura screamed running after the kid. The kid picked up the pace, running through the crowds of people. He looked like a 13 year old by his height and looks. The boy ran into an ally and Sakura followed. Sakura went around the corner, only to find a girl with the boy now. They were scrambling for a way to get out. They had met a dead end.

"Give me my wallet back!" Sakura demanded. The 2 kids turned to face Sakura. What she saw, was not what she was hoping for.

"What the–!?" She gasped.

"You're an…"

Like, OMFG, what has Sakura run into!?
