Me: Hey guys! I'm so glad you liked the last chapter! I'm really excited since this is my first time travel story and I've read a couple on this website already. I promise that this won't be like some of the stories that are on here because this one is going to...have some changes to it which is going to change the characters stories dramatically. Anyways I hope you like this chapter! I don't own Naruto!
JUST WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW I AM NOT GOING TO BE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WRITES THE MANGA/SHOW AND CHANGES A FEW THINGS. IT'S REALLY ONLY FOR THIS CHAPTER
I stood there stunned looking at the mirror. Even replaying what happened before I woke up still didn't make me believe what was going on. How was time travel even possible? How did Madara have such power? What is he hoping for me to accomplish by doing this?
I took a deep breath in trying to calm myself down. Okay, there's no point in standing here like a nut case. I have to pretend like everything is natural. I walked over to my closet seeing the outfit I used to where when I was...am twelve. I rolled my eyes in the lack of fashion I had before. I threw it on my bed searching my closet once again to find something better.
Once I found what I was looking for I smiled as I changed into it. The outfit was a little similar to what I had before but much more breathable. It's a maroon dress, similar to what I had before without the white lines, with a light pink sash under my breasts and a zipper from the neck to the sash. The bottom of it had a slash going from the bottom of the dress to a little over the crotch area, black leggings covered what needed to be covered with my ninja pouch wrapped on my right leg. I put on my black fingerless gloves I hid years before to complete the outfit.
I looked in the mirror as I played with my long hair. I never wanted to cut it in the first place, not only because I thought Sasuke liked girls with long hair but because I thought it looked better on me. When I cut my hair before it never fully grew back to where I wanted for some reason. Instead of keeping it down like I used to I braided them into two pigtails that hit the middle of my back.
Nodding at my new appearance I left the house saying goodbye to my parent, running into no one else but Ino. I was excited to see my best friend yet I was brought back to reality seeing her glare at me. Instead of glaring at her like I used to I smiled. Her glare disappeared, replaced with a confused gaze.
"Morning Pig," I said giving her my old nickname for her.
"Forehead." She replied back confused. She studied my appearance closely before chuckling. "I hope you aren't thinking that changing your clothes will make Sasuke-kun notice you." I shrugged starting to walk towards the academy.
"Nah. I decided to give up on him." My best friend screamed running over to me with a suspicious look on her face.
"You better not be pulling my leg. Why are you giving up on the hottest guy in school?" I chuckled as I thought 'Well once the guy you like almost kills you countlessly then you're feelings will start changing'.
"I want to focus more on my training so I won't be the weak link in whatever team I am apart of." I wonder if I am still able to do all the jutsus I learned after Sasuke left. Just in case I should hold back so I don't look suspicious.
"I don't believe you-"
"You don't need to believe me. What I want is to be friends with you again." This caught Ino be surprise since she stopped in the middle of the street.
"You do remember you're the one that broke our friendship, right?" Ino asked reminding me about how selfish I was when I was younger. I didn't want to compete with my friend over some guy so I pushed her away.
"I know," I said after a moment of hesitation. "I just think that it's stupid for us to fight over a guy who seems too caught up in their own business. Besides I never really wanted to do that. I just thought it would be easier in case anyone got hurt."
"Well then," She walked over to me wrapping her arm around my shoulder wearing a huge smile on her face. "I accept the truce, Forehead." I put my arm around her shoulder.
"Friends it is, Pig." We laughed walking all the way to the academy with her mostly talking about her life. I tried my best to keep away from talking about my life in case I might slip up. We walked into the classroom seeing the usual chaos of the fangirls crowding Sasuke.
My heart dropped seeing him alive. I wanted to go over to him, wrap my arms around his neck, and give him the biggest hug I could muster up. Knowing him, he would push me off in an instant. I held myself together as Ino and I found a place to sit next to each other which confused the hell out of everyone around us. Kiba and Shikamaru sat in front of us while giving us confused looks.
"You two are friends now?" Kiba asked scratching his head as Akamaru popped out of his jacket barking in agreement.
"It's not like we weren't friends before." I replied giving him a soft smile. I've always liked Kiba even though he was almost as annoying as Naruto. Kiba leaned back still confused not saying anything more.
"You were fighting about Uchiha yesterday," Shikamaru stated next yawning.
"Your point?"
"Why aren't you two fighting for the guy now? No one is sitting by him." I looked over at the raven haired boy who was slyly glancing over his shoulder looking as curious as the others. It doesn't surprise me that he wants to know why his two biggest fangirls are best friends once again.
"We decided to call a truce," Ino replied in a matter-of-fact tone. It was right then when Naruto showed up seeing all the girls googling over his rival. Just as before Naruto hopped onto the desk staring Sasuke in the face starting a glare contest.
"You want to see something hilarious?" I asked knowing what was going to happen. I looked ahead seeing the guy that made it happen the first time talking to his friend. Ino and the boys looked over to the scene between black and blonde curious at what I was talking about. "Hey Nawaki!"
The blonde boy turned around bumping his elbow into Naruto's ass making him lean in kissing Sasuke. It only took a second for all hell to break loose. Nawaki was shocked at the revelation for what he just caused, Naruto and Sasuke broke apart acting like they were recovering from choking besides kissing, the fangirls looked as though they were going to kill Naruto, and my friends and I were rolling on the floor laughing our asses off.
"NARUTO!" The fangirls yelled as they started charging after said boy. I rolled my eyes jumping up to protect him. I reached him just in time before the girls reached him with their fists raised up hair.
"Move Haruno," Ami growled cracking her knuckles. I sighed putting my hands on my hips.
"Look you green haired hag," I sneered "I will give you all two choices so you better choose the right one. First you can kick the crap out of Naruto which won't get you any closer to Sasuke…" I paused before remembering the "kun."
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto cried hearing about the first option. I punched his head to shut him up. "OW!"
"Or you can go sit down and save the last bit of dignity you have." The girls started glaring waiting for me to back down to them. Yet I stood my ground now crossing my arms around my chest. "I can stand here all day. Nothing that you will say will make me change my mind "
"Did I miss something," Iruka asked walking into the classroom finally. I shrugged waiting for Ami to decide what she was going to do.
"No Iruka-sensei," She replied angrily leading her and her friends to their seats. I waved at the tan man before going back to my seat next to a still laughing Ino.
"That was classic!" She whispered to me. "How did you come up with the idea?" I shrugged.
"It just came to me."
"Team Seven: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha." Iruka called with Naruto cheering then moaning in a second timespan. I already knew that I was going to be on their team. I could probably change somethings but in the amount of time that was given there was nothing I could do to change it. Nor would I want to.
As the class ended with the teams given I stayed behind with Ino who was groaning at the team members she was assigned. I couldn't help but laugh at how distraught she is about having the smartest guy in the whole village on her team.
"Why do I have to be stuck with those two?" She whinned putting her face in her hands. I shrugged thinking about what to say next. "Why couldn't I be paired up with Sasuke?"
"Who knows, maybe you are only thinking about the negatives. You aren't exactly the most optimistic person in the world Pig." I laughed. "I mean those two are really powerful. Plus they are really good friends so you know that they will work well together no matter what happens."
"Since when do you know how strong they are?" Ino asked showing me her beautiful blue eyes. Shit, come up with something quick!
"I walked by when I saw them training one day." I lied hoping she wouldn't see through me like she used to when we were little. She nodded going back to her sulking as Naruto ran up to me with the big goofy grin on his face. After a few days of seeing him crying whenever I saw him, it's good to see him smile again.
"Hi Sakura!" He cheered making me smile back.
"Hey Naruto. I'm glad to see that the fangirls didn't kick your butt when I wasn't looking."
"Yeah." Ino said putting her head up. "How was getting your first kiss with Sasuke?" Naruto shuddered at the memory I was so proud of causing.
"Please don't remind me." He said before smiling at me. "So I was wondering since we are on a team that we would eat lunch together to get to know each other better?"
"Yeah, that would be awesome." I stood up, grabbing my bento box, and waved to Ino. "Want to come to my house to hang out later?"
"Sure!" She said giving me a thumbs up while grabbing her bento box. "I should probably go eat lunch with my team as well. Talk to you later Forehead."
"See ya later Pig." We walked our separate ways as I started walking with the blonde boy. He led me out to the roof of the academy. I looked over to the rock formation with the faces of the Hokage's a little dumbfounded. I guess I have to get used to not seeing Tsunade-sama's face up there for a while. I wonder how long I am going to be here anyways.
"Sakura," Naruto said bringing me out of my thoughts. I saw him sitting down on the bench looking at me like I'm a nut case. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," I said walking over to sit next to him. "It's my first time being so close to the rock formation so I was amazed how awesome it looked." Once I sat down I opened my bento box seeing my favorite lunch items: rice balls, katsudon, and steamed vegetables.
"You seem really different today."
"Good different or bad different?" I laughed flinging one of my pigtails back over my shoulder.
"Just different." I picked up a piece of tomato that was stuck in my steamed veggies and put it in front of his face. He looked at it before me. He gave me a soft smile before taking it. "Thanks Sakura."
"No problem." We sat there silently eating out food for a minute or so before he spoke again.
"So what's up with you not hanging around Sasuke today? Usually you would be all over him." I put down my food looking back up at the stone faces looking over the village.
"There's a time for everyone to move on from something that will ultimately destroy us. Don't you think so Sasuke?" I asked looking over seeing blue eyes widen in shock. "You can transform back, I've known it's you since you asked me to lunch." There was a poof a smoke. As the smoke cleared the raven haired boy now sat where the blonde was before.
"How did you know?" He asked.
"First: Naruto calls me 'Sakura-chan'. And second: he ran out of the classroom right after everyone got their teams which means that he probably forgot that the milk in his fridge is expired. He's probably still taking a dump right now. Lastly: Naruto would never bring up you if he had the chance to eat lunch with me." I stood up still holding my bento box. "I'm going to go eat the rest in the classroom. You should talk your time thought. I have a feeling that our sensei is going to the one that shows up late."
"Pinky, tell us about yourself." Kakashi said leaning against the railing. I rolled my eyes at the stupid nickname I haven't heard since I was five.
"The first thing you need to know about me is if you ever call me 'Pinky' again, I will make sure to burn the thing you always have in your pocket." I threatened. He didn't seemed phased, but I know that on the inside he is hoping that I would never figure out about the perverted books he always carries. "My name is Sakura Haruno, my dream is become a respectable medical ninja, and to destroy two people." Naruto and Sasuke seemed to flinched at that. "I like reading, learning about chakra control, and hanging out with friends. My dislikes are snakes, people who hold grudges on for years, and those who betray their comrades."
"I see. Where did you get the idea to become a medical ninja?"
"I read about Tsunade-sama when I was in the library." He nodded going to the boys.
I looked over to the side not really listening to the conversation.
My heart stopped.
A pale snack was staring at us almost as it was spying on us. Golden eyes connected with my jade ones.
Orochimaru. He must be here to keep on with his boy toy.
I gave him a glare that said 'I am going to kill you no matter what it takes'. The snake seemed to glare at me back but the eyes are too small I can't tell for sure.
"Sakura-chan," Naruto's voice said bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked up at his worried face. "Are you okay? You looked like you saw a ghost or something." I shook my head.
"No, it wasn't a ghost. It was a sign that I have a lot of work to do before I can accomplish my goals." I looked over to where the snake was only seconds before to see that it had disappeared.
I will save Sasuke.
