During the next two years in which Suigetsu and Sakura turned ten, Sakura studied diligently in the medical arts promising to become a worthy medic-nin to head the Hospital for her Aunt "I will do it" Sakura announced when she decided to heal something for the first time.

Her friends watched eagerly as she made her first attempt "Good luck Sakura-chan" Haku smiled gently, he was now a whopping thirteen and still in the academy, only because he wanted to finish out the next two years of the academy with his friends.

"Yeah if there's anyone that can do it, it's you Sakura" Suigetsu grinned proud of his friend for figuring out her dream, he already had his, it was to become the next wielder of Kubikiribocho, a giant butcher knife like sword.

Off to the side was their remaining friend "Of course only because she's been studying the process for nearly six months" Kimimaro snorted, having faith, if it weren't for his and Haku's two younger classmates they wouldn't have any friends at all.

"Just get on with it if your gonna try" Mangetsu shook his head, having promised to supervise the practice session as Sakura made a gash in the melon that had been bought specifically for her medical ninjutsu training.

Then she weaved a couple of hand signs and gathered chakra into her hands, which flickered a light green for a couple minutes nothing happened as she tried to add a bit more chakra until it was a brighter green before attempting.

Almost immediately the gash in the rind of the melon started stitching together slowly sure but it was more than she thought would happen on her first try "Alright I did it" the pinkette cheered when the gash was completely healed.

Prompting her to jump up and bounce around in excitement "Congratulations sweetie, you've made me quite proud" Mei, who'd been watching from the shadows came forward to hug her niece, she was very happy that she had such a smart niece.

The ten year old girl beamed up at her in happiness "Right I can't stay long there's a few more things I have to attend to" the auburn haired woman nodded at Mangetsu, who nodded back and then she was gone to finish her business.

"You were totally awesome Sakura" the pale blue haired ten year old latched onto his only female friend, earning another bright smile as he hugged her, instances like these made her really appreciate the few friends she had.

As the other two crowded in "Most magnificent, you'll be the best medic-nin in the entirety of the Hidden Mist Village" the white haired teen gave her a quick side hug unlike a full on one, he still was unsure if someday they would kick him out of the village, but for now he was happy.

Next to him Haku nodded "Exactly, are you gonna practice syncing your chakra up to a fish now" the raven haired teen sniggered lightly before watching her seal away the melon and head towards the river on the training grounds.

"Let me kid, so you don't have to waste your weapons" the only adult among them now snorted wrapping some ninja wire around a kunai and tossing a shuriken to make a fish jump and then he was reeling in his catch and handing it over to Sakura.

Who took it to the rock she'd been practicing on and sat down again, making a gash in the fish like she had the melon before weaving hand signs and focusing chakra into her hands where it instantly turned green at her will.

The same bright green of earlier and for the rest of the day sat there healing the fish, over and over again getting better after each time, with her friends sparring randomly as she practiced until she was thoroughly exhausted of chakra.

"Do you re..really have to push yourself th..that hard S..Sakura-san" Chojuro asked with a frown as the lot of them trudged home wearily looking bone tired, he caught them coming from the training grounds intending on getting in a late training session.

He didn't really get an answer "Whoop she's out for the count" Mangetsu caught the young pink haired girl before she crashed face first on the ground inadvertently breaking something, Chojuro's eyes widened in horror.

"Goo..Good grief th..that girl i..is just c..crazy" the blue haired teen shook his head watching them walk through the village to home or drop Sakura off at her Aunts who just smiled in amusement but tucked her niece in.

Mangetsu chuckled "Make sure she rests tomorrow to regain her chakra" Suigetsu huffed, wishing he had the guts to put himself through insane training like his friend, with that in mind he promised to work a little harder to achieve his own goal.

"We'll also come back to visit, and thank you for all the bento's" Haku smiled kindly, thanking the auburn haired woman for making him and Kimimaro lunch boxes all the time on the request of his friend.

Earning a gentle smile "Yes thank you Mei-san, we should go rest ourselves Haku" Kimimaro nodded at Mei before they left like the duo of Hozuki's, Mei laughed quietly under her breath and got started on dinner.

Just as she was setting up the table her niece wandered into the dining room, barefoot and yawning wide enough to crack her jaw "D..Didn't realize I w..was so tired" Sakura yawned repeatedly as she sat down staring around blearily.

"Of course you'd be that tired after working your chakra extensively like that Sakura" Mei tapped her niece on the head gently while piling the food she'd made onto two individual plates and pouring some earl gray tea for the both of them.

Where they dug in, chattering back and forth while they ate until Sakura could no longer keep up the conversation or keep her eyes open, so after cleaning up after herself, she bid her Aunt goodnight and headed back to bed.

She didn't venture out at all the next day, choosing to regain all her lost chakra and energy before it was back to the academy on Monday "I heard some of our classes are really gonna change this year" the raven haired thirteen year old whispered to his three friends.

"Mhm cause now we'll have kunoichi lessons and our genjutsu class will be included in that" the pinkette hummed quietly preparing herself for their fifth year at the academy, which would be different unlike the other four years.

Kimimaro sat back in his seat on the other side of Suigetsu, who was mindlessly drumming his fingers on their desk "Anxious Suigetsu or just bored" the white haired teen asked, knowing that it was one of those two reasons the boy would be doing that.

Purple orbs flashed his way before Suigetsu crinkled his nose "I don't like it, the thought of Sakura-chan using her body to seduce guys" the pale blue haired boy admitted under his breath for the Kaguya's ears only, complete with a scowl.

Before they could continue whispering to each other they were interrupted as their sensei finally arrived to start class, he wasn't alone though "Good your all here, welcome back for your fifth year, for some of you, you'll have a new sensei" he began.

Then gestured to the beautiful woman at his side "Pardon my intrusion, I am Homare Yukimi and for the girls in this class I am your genjutsu and kunoichi sensei" the blue eyed blonde woman introduced herself.

Gaze trailing around the room and counting out how many young girls there were "If you six girls would come with me, we'll get started" Homare gestured for the ten year old's to follow her and they did so without hesitance.

"Not cool, not cool" Suigetsu put his head in his hands clearly having some kind of meltdown over the fact that his best friend had no choice but to participate in those kinds of lessons, something he didn't want for her.

And his two remaining friends had no idea what to do without the only girl in their group to calm Suigetsu down "It'll be alright, it's not like she's gonna be forced to seduce someone on the first day" Haku tried to assure his younger friend.

Suigetsu paused and raised his head looking hopeful "Besides if you think about it, kunoichi lessons will help her get out of tricky situations if she can't rely on her skills" Kimimaro finished and thankfully the boy calmed down.

As the sensei began their own genjutsu class, which was much different as they were all led outside to practice "Alright you lot while the girls are busy, you'll be practicing actual genjutsu's, here's a list and the hand signs, then afterwards we'll work on your kenjutsu" the sensei called.

~Meanwhile~

Outside were the six girls of the class "To be kunoichi you must be graceful yet deadly at the same time" Homare began her lesson, they were on the training grounds, her lips curved upwards as a couple girls hid behind each other.

While one stood strong and proud, the last three just looked like they were about to flee in terror at the thought of such a thing but they did muster up enough courage to ask a question "How can we do that sensei" a little brunette girl with brown eyes asked.

Homare nodded "By putting you through extensive lessons and teaching you how to use your body to deceive an opponent, but first we'll start you off dancing that will help you lot get in shape and become graceful" the blonde woman explained.

Then handed over fans to all six girls in her class "You aren't gonna make us try to seduce someone right away are you sensei" another little girl looked absolutely terrified of the thought of trying to do something like that.

Blue eyes rolled upwards "No, not right now watch and learn, then you'll practice dancing and afterwards we'll launch into our genjutsu training" Homare snorted going through the movements slowly without a fan.

Emerald green orbs watched her sensei intensely as the beautiful woman danced, taking in the steps she performed while looking graceful and deadly at the same time which took her breath away and then it was their turn.

It was then she realized that Homare wanted them to take turns so no accidents happened and the other girls had abandoned her, nervous for the first time, she squared her shoulders "Looks like I'm going first Homare-sensei" Sakura breathed.

Gripping her fan and starting with the first step before flowing into the second, third, fourth, five and sixth, she stumbled for a second "Good, get back in line" the blonde woman pointed at the sidelines and Sakura sighed.

Sitting down and wiping sweat from her forehead before focusing her gaze forward watching her other classmates take their turns, none of them got past the third step except her and their sensei was rather unimpressed with them.

Pursing her lips in thought, she trailed her gaze over her six students "It's going to be a long year is this is all I have to work with, alright practice on your own for thirty minutes, then we'll switch over to genjutsu" Homare ordered.

With a long suffering sigh Sakura stood closing her eyes and praying for patience as she started in with another round of dancing, only managing to make it to the seventh step on her second attempt and the eighth on her fourth, before getting to the tenth step she'd memorized on the sixth attempt.

Until it was time to practice crafting their own unique genjutsu's, before they finally got led back to the academy "Not bad girls for your first day I suppose, but tomorrow I want to see improvement so remember to practice" the blonde said as she dropped them off at their classroom.

Before turning and leaving, Sakura rubbed her aching muscles before trudging into the classroom behind her female classmates and towards her desk "What happened to you Sakura-chan" the pale blue haired boy was horrified at her frazzled appearance.

"Dancing lessons are the devil in disguise" the pinkette grumbled taking her seat and pulling out her mathematics book glad for the reprieve and definitely making a mental note to ask her aunt for help in that department focused her attention on class.

Her friends paled and shuddered "So you didn't have to seduce a guy" the doe eyed ebony haired boy asked curiously as they got let out for lunch, her head snapped up at the question before hastily shaking her head in answer.

Even Kimimaro was relieved "Good because your to young for that yet" the snowy haired teenager grimaced, thankfully she didn't take offense while they all ate lunch before it was time for their physical lessons, which now included practicing with their elemental natures.

When they were finally released for the day, Sakura bid her friends farewell and marched straight home, hoping to catch her aunt before she left "Auntie Mei do you have some time, an hour at the very least" Sakura called stopping the woman from vanishing like she was known to do.

At the call, the green eyed woman swung around "Sure what's wrong Sakura-chan" Mei looked very concerned as she loped back towards her niece and together they entered the house before sitting at the kitchen table.

Sakura took a deep breath then started "We had a new class, kunoichi class are sensei is Homare Yukimi and she wanted us to practice dancing would you help me" the pinkette threw a hopeful look at her aunt.

Mei's gaze softened "Of course I can Sakura-chan, Homare use to be my teammate, let's go now" the auburn haired woman stood, deciding she could spare one hour to help her niece out, so they went to the training grounds and practiced for an hour.

Until every muscle in her body was screaming in protest, Mei vanished then and she went to find out where her friends were hiding at, spending the rest of the evening with them before going home to eat dinner and get some shut eye.

~Leaf Village~

All the way in the Leaf Village, were Asagao, Sasuke, Naruto, Mimori and Mamori, for once they had a break from the academy "Ugh this sucks, I'm not sure whether I glad not to be in class or if I'd rather sit in class than this" Sasuke groaned utterly bored out of his skull.

Only because the five of them had gotten stuck at the Haruno House "Hey it's not that bad Sasuke, and maybe if we ask my Mom real nicely, she'll let us go wander the village" Asagao whispered, shooting a look to where his mother was ensconced in the kitchen.

Sasuke raised a brow in response "Yeah like it's ever worked before your Mom will never go for it" Naruto snorted not impressed in the least and flopping down on the couch to stare blankly at the ceiling, knowing they'd never get to run around at this rate.

Asagao huffed "Or we could go to Hokage-sama huge estate and explore" Mamori suggested something that was moderately better and since they'd still be inside and not causing to much trouble Mebuki was sure to agree.

Dark blue eyes lit up "So long as your Mom's okay with it Asagao-kun" Mimori piped in as Asagao made his way to the kitchen to ask his mother if they could go to the Hokage's estate and explore while not causing trouble.

Having heard despite them knowing Mebuki figured she could let the kids have fun "You don't have to ask, I heard, go play and whatever you do, for my sanity don't make trouble for anyone" Mebuki said sternly.

Sending the children off to play, "My, my so you decided to come here, very well, be good you five" Hiruzen caught them entering one of the many doors, eyeing his former students two mischievous daughters, who paused, then nodded before the lot of them vanished.

They spent the rest of the day exploring like promised and became fascinated with the many rooms there was in the gigantic house "Wow and you guys live here that's awesome you know" the blue eyed blonde was in awe.

When it was finally time to go home "And you can come and play everyday for the rest of our break to" the younger Senju twin offered knowing it would keep them out of trouble and hopefully get Mebuki and Mikoto off the boy's cases.

That way they'd be allowed a little more freedom "Definitely, I'll talk to my Mom about it, cause undoubtedly she'd be the one to say no" the ebony haired boy waved vanishing down the streets to the Uchiha Compound, happy that he hadn't been cooped up.

And hopefully he would get to do it again so long as his mom said yes "Mom's already on our side, just have to talk to her and she'll get Mikoto-san on our side to" the pink haired boy hollered after his first friend before turning and disappearing home.

Leaving the paternal twins behind "Yeesh talk about way to much energy those boys" the older Senju twin shook her head with a quiet snort as they shut the door and headed down the long hall to have dinner.

Luckily enough the five of them got to spend the entirety of their break exploring the Hokage's expansive home before it was back to the academy after two whole weeks, in which on the first day they'd gotten all their assigned homework done.

"Kind of glad to be back in class" Asagao commented quietly as his first two friends crowded into the row with him in the middle like usual and the Senju twins in the row behind them alone with each other because of stupid reasons.

Simply put their other classmates were kind of wary of the two girls who could hit extremely hard without needing to exert to much energy in their attacks "Me to and that's weird cause I hate sitting in class" Naruto nodded his head in agreement.

"Weirdo's oh well, we're pretty weird to I guess" Mamori giggled from behind them also glad that they were back in class, so they could focus on their studies and someday join their mother again, who hadn't come back to visit them once in the two years they'd been in the Leaf Village.

That wasn't to say she hadn't sent many letters or little gifts for their birthdays or Christmas, they just wished she'd come to see them even if it was for just a short time "Eh better to be weird than normal at least that way we're unpredictable" Sasuke shrugged.

Behind them the younger twin nodded "Precisely cause if your predictable an enemy is gonna be able to take you down quickly" Mimori announced before the five of them focused their gazes forward as they sensei finally arrived.

He took his place at the podium "Alright I've spent the last two weeks going over the material of what we've been through and haven't been through and made an outline for the remaining two years of the academy before you become genin" Iruka began.

Reading off the list he'd made, which included a tougher curriculum than they expected as their mathematics lesson was going to be tougher, they would learn how to break out of genjutsu's, learn the escape and transformation jutsu and move onto throwing different kinds of weapons.

By the time it was time for them to go home all five of them were utterly exhausted "Think I'm just gonna go home, get my homework done, eat then go to bed" the pink haired boy grimaced ready to crash.

"We understand Asagao I think we're gonna do the same" the Senju twins said at exactly the same time, the three boys were so use to them doing it they didn't comment as the two girls wandered away to where they'd been living for the last two years.

Sasuke and Naruto watched their mutual friends wander off "Wanna go to the library" the ebony haired boy asked, that way they could do their homework together and he could make sure the Dope actually got a good grade for once.

Naruto snorted but didn't refuse "Sure whatever Teme" the blonde huffed following after the young heir of the Uchiha clan, where they sat in the library for an hour and a half completing all their homework together before going home.

Mikoto was a little surprised to see her youngest son so exhausted, he barely spoke, ate, then politely excused himself to go take a bath, he returned shortly afterwards to bid her and his father goodnight before vanishing to get some shut eye.

"Wonder what's up with him" Mikoto frowned, hoping that nothing was wrong, for two days straight she witnessed this strange phenomenon until finally Sasuke seemed to become himself once again where she put the whole thing out of her mind.
