Chapter 2

Sakura woke up the next morning and put on a plain black shirt and a red skirt.

She went down to the living room (sorta), or the place where there's a couch, a few toys, and a TV. In other words, it's the place all orphans come to relax and socialize.

Sakura sat on the far side of the couch, away from the rest of the kids. She wondered what else she could do. She could go train.

She's wanted to be a ninja for a long time. She has kunai, shurikin, and even a black blade that was given to her by the weapons maker in the village.

She knows how to channel her chakra, she knows how to do the shadow clone jutsu and substitution jutsu. She just wonders if anyone could train her. And she's actually smart…..maybe she could visit the library? She knows a few librarians there and they let her into their small scroll room, so she knows quite a lot on the ninja world. And she has the intelligence of an ANBU captain.

She is, what you would call, a prodigy. If she had a bloodline (maybe she does…)….she would probably be the most powerful 6yr old in Konoha.

Sakura was about to get up and ask if she could go to the library, when the caretaker came in…with a man.

And when this happens…..someone's getting adopted.

Every kid stopped what they were doing. They all turned to see the man standing in the doorway. Except Sakura, who just looked down with a blank expression. She could feel the powerful chakra radiating off of the man, so she knew he was a ninja.

She also noticed the slashed headband in his pocket, which is something a regular person wouldn't see. Sakura could tell this was a Henge; she's done a Henge plenty of times.

"So who would you like to adopt?" The caretaker asked

Sakura felt someone looking at her. She turned to see the man. He was looking at her with pity and comfort. She just looked back with a blank expression that showed intelligence and slight sadness.

He went to her. "I chose her."

"A-Are you sure?" The caretaker asked. "There's plenty more….er…pleasing girls to adopt-"

"I. Chose. Her." He said as if she was stupid.

"O-Ok." The caretaker said as the man picked Sakura up.

"What's your name?"

"Sakura." She said

"W-Well come with me to get the papers." The caretaker said.

The man put Sakura down and went with the caretaker to another room.

Toyama came up to Sakura. "How could you be picked?"

"Are you just mad that I took your chance of getting adopted?" Sakura asked with no emotion.

"Shut up!" Toyama yelled then slapped Sakura

She looked back at her with no emotion. "You're just mad that you're alone, just like me." Sakura went back on the couch and sat down. She turned so they wouldn't see her putting her chakra into her hands and heal the bruise that formed on her cheek.

"Sakura."

She turned to see the caretaker with the man. Sakura sighed. "I need to get my things." And she went to her room. She packed her things (which weren't a lot) and packed her kunai, shurikin, and her blade, which she strapped to her back. She went back to the living room to see the man. "I'm ready."

The man smirked then picked her up. He walked to Konoha's gates until he got across, after that he ran. Once they got far enough from Konoha he stopped.

Sakura jumped down from his arms and landed on the ground. She took out a kunai with grace and pointed it at him. "Tell me who you are. I can tell it's a Henge and you have a slashed head protector in your pocket."

He put up an eyebrow. "I knew I saw intelligence, un." He canceled the Henge to show himself.

"Deidara of the Akatsuki specializes in long range and uses clay bombs to attack." Sakura said with no emotion as if she read it out of a book

"Wow. I didn't expect you to know me un."

Sakura stepped back. "If you want me for anything all I have is my unnatural strength."

He sighed. "We don't want you for that! We want to keep you and be with you. We want to treat you like…..family un."

Sakura's eyes widened. "Family? I never had family…."

Deidara smiled then put out a hand. "We'll take care of you. We might even train you un!"

Sakura took the hand. "Ok….I might not be worth it though."

Deidara took her and made sure she was comfortable in his arms before running towards his base.

Did Sakura's new life just start?

Yes. Yes it did.
