Teacher Me Not
Who Is The Girl With The Fallen Eyes
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not even my brain. I stole that .
"Well the ninja's were like phwoosh. All talking arrogant with their stupid metal hands saying things like, 'hand over the old man' and, 'your weak… I give you two minutes.'" He mocked with a deeper voice, " And then this girl came in and she was all scared stiff, you know? Shocked deeply. So their all 'give us the man and we wont kill her' … and right when I was going to save her she got all angry and Boom! The two men were dead and she was running down the road." Naruto finished with a big gasp.
Tsunade sighed as she rubbed her temple. It was supposed to be easy, taking over the position as Hokage for a year or two, while the actual Hokage was taking care of his grandson… but then she was stuck with an idiot.
A deep sigh was then followed by the ruffle of pages being shoved lovingly into a weapon pouch. Kakashi stepped forward.
"What Naruto is trying to say is in the middle of an attack by mist chuunin a normal village girl came and killed them without a second thought, then she just took off. There is a possibility that she could be just an inconspicuous ninja, but she could also be an un-teamed unknown ninja. We were hoping we could describe her and have her identified." Taking a long breath Kakashi ended his report.
A curt nod came from the temporary Hokage as she took out a pen and paper.
"Describe her."
They all fell into a strange silence, knowing that the strange girl would be found.
Kakashi nodded in retaliation as his lips parted and his voice sounded, "She was short, maybe five feet, four eleven, somewhere there. She was relatively skinny for someone with those obvious ninja abilities. She looked almost underfed. Pale skin, age comparable with Naruto's. She wore a red and white smock, her hair was long… and here's the strange thing… It was pink."
Tsunade's face went pale as she dropped the pen and notepad, rushing over to a case of files, fingering them she passed through the manila folders until her nails brushed the last one. Pulling it out the folder fell open, with a picture paper clipped to top page.
As Naruto began to race towards the file Kakashi snatched it up in his hand.
Tsunade stared at the silver haired mans file, "Her name is Haruno Sakura. The daughter of the famous anbu captain Haruno and an average civilian, Maiden name Hashu Hana.
Sakura was a protégé born with the talents and interests of her father. She was trained privately since age four by him also. Her abilities were to be tested and possibly ranked at age six when normal ninjas start to enter the academy, but her father died in combat two days prior. Her mother refused to allow her child to take the test, or to become a ninja.
For three months no one heard or even saw Haruno Sakura, only of her mother when she went to the market once a week… and during that market trip neighbors always reported sounds of metal clashing. Like weapon training we always assumed.
On Christmas morning that year Hashu Hana was found dead in their house, the murderers were also found dead with Haruno Sakura holding the offending weapon.
She became an orphan, and a month after that we gave her two options; take the ninja test and be supported by the government or become a civilian and be forced to take a job and support herself.
Curiously she chose to become a civilian, but that was made impossible when the council persuaded her to take a master for one month and then take the ninja test.
She was very lazy and weak when training, easy to receive healable injuries of any degree without crying. But when she was placed in a real life or death situation she succeeded and triumphed better than your average chuunin would.
On her eighth birthday she was forced to take the ninja test… and she failed. Ever since I personally have taken the time to learn everything about her. She works at a local café, serving tea and food. She works from eight to four. At four thirty she always leaves the gates to 'collect herbs' until three in the morning, claiming to need to collect plants during both day and night in order to also get the nocturnal herbs. From the time she gets home she disappears into her house until twenty minutes before work.
She is currently fourteen, just seven weeks shy of Naruto's own age." Tsunade concluded.
Silence hung heavily in the office.
"Why hasn't anyone stopped her from collecting herbs, its obvious it's a lie."
A smirk molded its way onto Tsunade's lips. "Because when she returns she always has many herbs with her, including a really rare nocturnal herb. Her footprints always lead to a secluded bank where only herbs grow and no sign of ninja activity has ever occurred."
Kakashi whispered under his breath a sign of appreciation and admiration as the two genin stared in wonder at the idea of this girls life.
Kakashi's eyes snapped open and narrowed at the blonde woman, "Why were you the one to learn everything about this girl."
A sigh and downcast eyes was his answer, "Because for those few months before her ninja test, I was her master."
A/N : I know its short … but I wanted to get something out for you guys before I left. For the next three weeks IM going to be out of the counrty…. England, Scotland with my history class and then Canada for my own enjoyment. Wish me luck and safe travels please. (dying in a crashing airplane doesn't sound to amazing.)
