I realize that I haven't gotten to the disguising as a man part. Or the war part. But it's getting there! Promise!

Medic-nin (on the field) (unisex) -MinBao - highly trained medic nin. - Tsunade
If the medic is not Tsunade, use of chakra to execute lower level medical techniques is called Erminbao. Or SanMinBao.
Healers (an exception because they do not go on field and some of the women are allowed to learn the technique. Lol in case you haven't noticed its a male world here.) - MinWu
People with only chakra / energy no speed or knowledge of martial art or destructive usage of chakra/energy) - Baowu (unisex)
Also, Konoha will also be called HuoShensi. And like I said, if I made some mistakes don't hesitate to tell me.
Sakura walked home with a beautiful smile on her face. Drawing the eyes of every male in the vicinity.
'Mmm, the wind is so cooling..'
Yea, and the birds are singing too aren't they?
'Not entirely.. But it is such a lovely day..'
My oh my.. We see a side to Sakura that is hardly seen...
'Hmm?'
The giggly side! Stop giggling! You're even giggling in your head, which is here, which is also pounding through MY head!
'Ahh.. So sorry so sorry.'
I need cotton balls.
'Why?'
Because, you are still giggling and all I can see here is Itachi.. Itachi.. ITACHI!
'Ouch..' She winced a little. 'You are quite loud today.'
I always am! Oh forget it! I will be back! Mark my words I will!
And she retreated to a door with a lock and chains in Sakura's mind. But Inner was quite right. She had been thinking of the Uchiha quite a lot lately. It really wasn't her fault. But she longed to know what he was like.
Now, this very uncommon occurrence of Sakura becoming interested in the elder Uchiha was really all said Uchiha's fault. He had been too nice and he had not said a single word that said anything remotely about arrogance, or power, and get this, not even chauvinism! He was unlike anything she had ever seen! She longed to unwrap him and talk to him because she could tell he wasn't an air-headed man.
Does that mean you want to unwrap his clothes too?
'Oh yes...' And then pictures of a very naked Itachi who just happened to be wearing a loincloth was conjured all over her head. She sighed dreamily. 'Wait.. No! I meant to say no!'
Gee Sakura, whatever happened to.. Ahem, and I quote, -I don't care what they are like, they are all just assholes who are chauvinistic, but they are assholes with nice butts and hot bodies, so since I'm not marrying any of these martial art or Shensi training warriors, I might as well take advantage of their sexy abdominal muscles- Oh you are so, in DEEP!
'No! I just.. Think.. That he would make... A good... Uh.. A good witty person!'
A good witty person? That wasn't even said correctly!
'Uh-... Ah... I -uhh... I meant a good partner! A good conversationalist! Yes that's right! A bloody good conversationalist.'
You... What happened to the girl that wouldn't tell Neji that his all white ensemble was very see-through when it got wet?
Pictures of said Hyuuga Neji came out from her memories. Oh boy.. She could almost drool.. Even his pants were wet.. Pity his undergarments were made of binding material...
'Wait no! Stop Inner! Stop it right now!'
Or what?
'Or I will lock you up myself in a room full of Neji pictures while you are tied up!'
Grr... Fine! Be that way!
Itachi found himself following Sakura again. Wait... when had he started calling her Sakura? Anyway, he did not know how this had happened. He had been walking home via the rooftops when he had taken notice of her. And so he decided to walk with her to wherever she was going, he just didn't tell her that he was going to walk with her while hidden from everybodies sight.
This was supposed to be called stalking. Perhaps it did not apply to the Uchiha?
He took notice of how her eyes were completely hazy, signifying she was lost in her thoughts, and he found it funny the way her face would scrunch up and then soften and smile.. And then a rosy blush would pop up on her cheeks to which she would suddenly turn to the right or to the left, and then she would look forward again with a determined expression. This continued for quite a while.
The whole time she just kept walking, ducking under men with large crates, jumping over carts and wheelbarrows, and weaving in and out of the throng of people. He could have sworn that she was about to walk into a a huge sign. He really thought she would. It was so big and hung about seven feet from the ground. The end of the board reaching her waist. She merely bent over backwards to swerve under it and turned in a circular motion, smoothly continuing her walk. He could have sworn he felt himself gasp a little at her scrunching of her nose when she pounded her fist against her hand.
Hmm?
'Is that.. A scar?'
On the back of her hands, leading to her wrist he could have sworn he saw something whitish. His eyes were praised for their vision and of how he never mistook anything for another.
But surely he had seen wrongly? The Haruno girl was a female and a noble. How could she have possibly acquired a scar?
He knew of over a thousand women who would screech over the faintest mark on their bodies. Just the other day, his very sensitive ears had been tortured by the high-pitched notes of Uchiha Makuri's incessant yelling. His mother had later told them that one of the new girls had scratched her calves slightly while giving her a body scrub.
Itachi could not understand women. Why go to all the trouble of having someone give you a body scrub? Why not do it yourself? And why would you want a stranger rubbing their hands all over you. Furthermore, it was just a little nick at the calf. Just what on earth was so bad about that?
Apparently, she was going to get married and didn't want her husband-to-be to see her legs in such a 'horrible manner'. It was a pity that she had to change herself to suit some man's needs. She used to be so much more witty and interesting.
Ah..While he had been thinking just a little, she had continued walking when he had paused and was no longer in his line of sight. Hmm, it would be best for him to return as well then.. Seeing as he was no longer 'walking' with her.
He felt someone's chakra flicker in beside him. It was one of the new Minzao Warriors. He wore a black, red and white eagle mask.
"Karui-san."
"Uchiha-san, the Hokage calls for you."
Within a tall and imposing building made entirely from stone lay a circular room filled with sealed cabinets and imposing bookshelves. One end of the room was filled with large windows, overlooking the village. In the middle of those glass windows stood the Hokage, the highest leader of official ranking in the village.
It was strange to see him not in his seat. Particularly since it was his favorite seat.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Mmm, thank you Karui-kun, you may leave."
"Hai!"
The moment the door closed the old man turned to him. He looked more weary than Itachi had ever seen. The Hokage extended his chakra over the room and past the doors, ensuring that nothing that would be spoken of within this room would reach others outside it.
Next to Itachi, Hatake Kakashi *poofed* in. Creating smoke that quickly dispersed.
Hatake Kakashi was almost as much a prodigy as Uchiha Itachi was. Graduating from the academy of Shensi Arts in one year and becoming an Yihao at the age of thirteen. He was older than Itachi by about eight years and had a far bit more experience that he did.
Hatake Kakashi was also known as Sharingan Kakashi. Having the bloodline limit of the Uchiha's within one eye was a much infuriating thought that many other less accomplished Uchiha clan members had to deal with.
Within the span of twenty-nine years, Hatake Kakashi had participated in at least two major wars and a few minor clashing with other Villages that practiced the different aspects of of Shensi.
The one Shensi village they often had troubles with was the Hidden Village of Sound. They were well known for constantly bonding with other angsty villages to war against the Shensi Village of Fire, also known as the Hidden Village of Leaves. The different names were mostly because of the vast amount of of earth in the Land of Huo.
"Kakashi, Itachi, I have grave news." Said Shensi warriors perked their ears. "The warriors of Sound have banded with the warriors of Rain, Mist and Cloud. As we speak, they are amassing a huge amount of warriors to take us down."
"They must not reach the border of Huo. Should they reach us, we will have little chance of stopping them. Itachi, Kakashi, send word to every household, any man of sixteen summers and below fifty winters is to gather at the Courtyard of Zhou. Brief them and direct them to where they will go."
"Civilian or Bloodlined you will train them to prepare for this upcoming battle in the outskirts of HuoShensi. Hatake, you will assist and advice the Uchiha in the leadership of these men. Learn from this Uchiha. It will be a very important lesson."
"But, my two loyal warriors, that is not all. You must pick a few trusted men to train specifically in stealth to go undercover into Sound and stop something that could affect us horribly. You see, I have received most alarming news that I do not wish for others to hear. Specifically our top chauvinist Danzo-sama. A new rise among Sound has started. Their leader, Orochimaru has been mixing chakras and genes to create women with the minds of men."
"Please understand, while here we do not allow the women to participate in any political views or training, over there Orochimaru has been encouraging it. Furthermore, these women are genetically mutilated to be mindless warriors for him, and surely you boys understand just how determined a rightly encouraged woman is?"
Indeed they did. A very good example was Tsunade-sama, their resident healer. She had fought in many of their wars, and to prove herself, had trained twice as hard than her male counterparts. It was also a well-known fact that women tended to have better chakra control than men.
"The reason I do not wish for Danzo to know this is because he may take it two ways. One, he will shrug it off and deem it unnecessary for me to have extra warriors trained specifically for this and may even complain to the council that I am using more money for budgeting than I should."
" Two, he could take a turn and start forcing the very docile women of HuoShensi to suddenly take part in such rigorous training. He may try to undo so many years of tradition by once and that would not work easily. It is fine in Sound because Orochimaru reigns with a hand of fear, force and mass amounts of treasure for bribery. The worst can only happen should Danzo find out."
"Do you men understand the danger of this situation and the necessity for you to be discreet? Hatake, please prepare to recruit the men quickly. Itachi, go home and study your battle plans and think up a training regime for the men"
"Hai Hokage-sama!" They spoke in unison, and disappeared quickly.
Sakura reached home in high and happy spirits. She carefully lifted her skirts and walked across the garden stones carefully, displaying a rare moment of femininity.
"Mama, I have returned!" She could not wait to tell her what Tsunade-sama had said.
She removed her geta at the foot of the house and walked in. Her mother walked out quickly with a worried expression on her face. Sakura assumed she had merely been worried about her behavior.
"Sakura," She was pulled into a warm hug, "So everything went well?"
"Yes mama, Tsunade-sama will help me prepare my profile, I am really quite excited." She giggled happily.
Her mother smiled slightly, "Aah.. That is good. Good."
Sakura's smile disappeared. Something was wrong. Normally when she smiled or acted the way her mother thought she should a lovely bright smile would cover her face.
Upon closer inspection, she noticed that her mother's usually perfect flat bun was in slight disarray and her grey hair was peeking out. Something her mother never allowed. Her normally bright complexion was sallow and her eyes were redder than usual. Even her clothing was rumpled.
"Mama, what is wrong, and where is father?"
"Sakura, what-whatever makes you think something is wrong?"
"Mama, you raised me for sixteen years, am I not to know when you are upset? You give me too little credit."
"Heh.. You speak too straightforwardly Sakura. You ought to have spoken in a more proper form, then the more noble families will look at you and, at least I can marry you off.. Sigh.. Oh.."
"Mama! You have never spoken of this before! Why are you suddenly so keen to marry me off now!?"
"It's not because I want to! It's because your father-" and then she quickly covered her mouth.
Sakura sighed. "What is it that father told you not to tell me.."
"Oh, Sakura.. It is nothing really.. Just... It's nothing at all... I... No, it is really nothing."
"Mother! I have a right to know! Especially if it concerns father!"
Her mother flinched. She rarely called her 'mother' unless it was important.
"I.. Oh Sakura I want to tell you.. But.. But.."
"But what mama?"
"I'll tell you, but you must promise not to go after your father."
"So he had to go off eh?"
"Language Sakura! And I will only tell you once you promise not to go after him!"
"Yes mother, I-"
"You cannot walk, run, jump, leap, or run with your hands!"
"Mother, I am hurt you think I would do that..."
"I know you better than you think Sakura.."
"Oh indeed mother."
"Do not patronize me, now about your father... It... It is important... I-I do not know the details but, I understand there is a war, and, and... He was called outside and had to go somewhere... And you know how his leg is and I -Oh! Sakura stop shaking me!"
"Mother! Where was he called to! I have to stop him, he can't receive the summons! I have to stop him, I have to , I have t-"
"Sakura you will do no such thing! It is dishonorable, and you promised you would not do anything!"
"Mother, you never said I couldn't fly there."
"What!?"
She ignored her mother's pleas and concentrated on pushing her chakra outwards, forming large beautiful hawk-like wings.
She cast an illusion over herself and ran out into the garden. She had not tried these once. She breathed in, exhaled, and pushed. She was lifting herself off the ground.
'Slowly, slowly...' and with a quick burst of wind she flew off, pulling and pushing the wind to her favor. Not even slowing down to ruffle an already ruffled Ino.
She felt for her father's chakra. Masking some of her chakra with her life-force and sending it around to give her a lead.
There!
It shined brightly and was coming from the Courtyard of Zhou.
The large horseshoe shaped stone arch was hard to miss. In a circular form, the stone walls covered the grounds. A dynasty ago, this place had been used for horseback fighting training. And right now, it was being used as an assembly for recruits.
She cast another illusion over herself and landed onto one of the large stones, watching and listening quietly. She suppressed her heartbeats and breath while harnessed some of the surrounding energies to cover her life-force and chakra. Hopefully, all that would be seen on the stone wall was a mouse.
A mouse? That was the best you could come up with?
Shut up! Who would suspect a mouse?
Well for one thing, perhaps the the retired MinZao warrior Hatake Kakashi? And oh, I don't know... YOUR FATHER?
Shush your mouth! I will not be suspected, I have trained hard enough for that. Now watch. I need to know what is going on.
Ugh..
"You have all been called here today to honor our Land! The Sound warriors have banded with our enemies and they will try to ravage HuoShensi!"
"Each of you are to return to pack and will meet us at the outskirts of HuoShensi. Within each of these scrolls are the royal seals! Directions to our camp are inside."
"Now any cowards who wish to leave and shame your family is welcome to do so. Are there any objections?"
There were only the shaking of heads and smiles of pride and perhaps a little fear as each man came forward to take a scroll. She could recognize the Hyuugas, the Uchihas... Some Inuzukas... We're those the Aburames? Most of the men here were young and fit while some of the older ones were merely in their forties, wise to the ways of destruction and physically ready for war. But her father was not. He may have had the best strategies and the cleanest, quickest kills, but his foot would slow him down.
It could be his undoing and cause of death. She shivered as an image of her father came before her. A grey faced, sapped of life attached to a body that was plunged through with a broadsword and blood staining the ground. Would he be remembered? And so what if he was... How was she to live with his death?
NO! She had to stop this!
Without thinking she got down from the stone wall and rushed into the courtyard when she saw her father take a scroll. Murmurs arose when the men noticed her entrance. Pink haired hair with flowers coming off, her geta nowhere to be seen and her kimono and tabi were dusty and dirty.
She flinched when she saw all eyes on her. So many men... There were at least a thousand men.
She gritted her teeth and ran in front of the man with silver gravity-defying hair and snatched the scroll out of the hands that were about to give it to her father.
She swore she heard the sound of jaws dropping. In a funnier situation, she would have laughed. But not now.
"Please! Spare my father! He is old and his leg is crippled... I fear that he, he will..."
"Young Lady, you should not be here. Do you not realize the consequences of what you are doing?"
She hurriedly kneeled on the ground, not noticing the widening of the man's eyes. "Please, honorable MinZao warrior! No that is not right, but you are as honored as one, perhaps even more! I understand what I am doing is very wrong, but I would rather risk myself for my father! Please! Please I beg of you, don't allow him to partake in this... Please.. "
A man with a porcelain mask spoke. " A woman has no right to interfere with the business of men! Go home and stay home!"
"Oh warrior, Honorable Hatake Kakashi, please, I, I will do anything I can do to prevent this! A-anything at all... I.."
"Would a noble woman like you agree to anything at all?"
"Yes anything!" She stared up at him hopefully.
"Would you lay in my bed then?" A collective gasp arose. To be propositioned as such was shameful...
"You... You..."
"You said you would do anything. So now I ask you... If I were to ask you to strip right here.. Would you?"
At this very moment Uchiha Itachi walked in, eyes widening when he saw Sakura there, on her knees. He was even more shocked when he heard Kakashi speak.
"Or are you a woman who says that she will do something and then changes her mind."
What on earth was he talking about?
"I am no such woman. But to think that such an honored man would ask this of a noble lady..." The men flinched upon hearing the iciness of the word, "My thoughts of you have only gone downhill now. But I am a woman who keeps her word."
Kakashi raised an eyebrow.
"Perhaps someone will help me undo my obi?"
Itachi's jaw fell forward slightly, as did every other mans. What was she going to strip?
"So you will do it?"
"Sakura, stop this! Your mother would faint.. Leave at once you fool!"
"No father. I will not. And yes oh honorable warrior, I will indeed remove my garments. I said I would do anything, and thus I shall. Removing my clothes is a small matter compared to mutilating my body. I must say however, you may not enjoy the sight of my skin."
So she was going to go that far? Would she stop at all? Itachi was about to move forward, only to be stopped by Hatake.
"Hold on, I will not allow her to get far and neither will her father." He whispered into Itachi's ear.
"I am sure that I would young lady. Now go on Kumoka-san, help her remove her obi."
The man took out his sword and was about to slash it when she spoke, "Also, it is made of high-grade quality material. Please do not rip it in any form away from me."
The man grumbled and squatted down to help her untie the intricate knots of her obi. When finished, she pulled it away from her, placing it on the ground And folding it neatly.
.
Itachi stared momentarily before turning around and leaving. As much as he wished to see Sakura undressed, he would not disrespect her in such a manner. He could see what Kakashi was doing, but it was still wrong. He scratched his head slightly as he left and returned home.
.
She untied the sash around her waist and opened up a side of her kimono, exposing her translucent silk nagajuban, printed with cherry blossoms.
Many of the more 'innocent' men, hurriedly turned their heads away from embarrassment and the older men did so with embarrassment for the girl.
Sakura did not like this. She was not shy or embarrassed with completely stripping herself because she did so to protect her family. It was an honor in its own right.
She just disliked the whole point of it, and the fact that there were so many men watching her.. Sort of. A few of them were not. But if she could stop her father from going to the war she would even allow herself to be taken. Just for her father.
She bit her lip as she pulled the furisode of her form, draping it and folding it properly. The moment she had untied her under layer the Hatake halted her.
"What is this? You ask for me to strip yet you stop me."
"I wanted to see how far you would go," she narrowed her eyes, "To see if you truly would keep your word. And I hate to say that I cannot stop your father from going, Only the Hokage can. Let this be a lesson girl, never allow yourself to be shamed and taken advantage of when you do not realize what you are getting into," she began twitching, "Only stupid girls do that." That was the last straw.
She pulled herself up, not bothering to retie her clothing and stalked towards him. Anger was in her eyes.
"How dare you. How dare you to try...To try to humiliate me... All those words merely to see me how far I would go? And don't you dare tell me, that I was being a stupid girl!"
She walked right up to him and stood a few inches from him, finger pointed at his chest.
"I stripped willingly, I was not being taken advantage off. You know why? Because I knew full well what I was prepared to do when I said anything. It was not a careless mis-wording, do not take me for one of the foolish marriage-minded figures in this village. Furthermore, I was not humiliating nor shaming my family, in my opinion, it was honor."
He opened his mouth only to find her fingers shutting it close.
"I am not finished.. It is not polite to interrupt a lady when she is speaking Hatake.." Her father reddened and the use of her words. "It was honor because I honored my word, because I am filial to the point where I was ready to allow anything to happen to me. Yes, do not look at me that way. I said anything."
"Even to have my flesh scraped from my bones and to have my bones picked out with a knife, even to be taken by a pig like. You." She enunciated her words while poking harshly into his chest.
The men flinched at her words.
"I believe that even the gods would take my side, because filial piety, is the most honorable of honor, and clearly you do not know that, or you would not have tried to shame me."
She stepped away from him and picked up her clothes, quickly re-tying her nagajuban and her furisode. She held her obi in one hand and walked to her twitching father.
Kakashi sighed. He tried to show what he thought was a cute little girl who did not understand the ways of the world to watch her mouth and be careful of her actions and he got a lecture from it. He supposed it did seem like he had tried to humiliate her... Many of the younger men were staring at him in resentment, but the older ones nodded and gazed at him with understanding. And was her father almost a shade of tomato?
"Father, I will go to the Hokage at once, please-
SLAP!
The entire crowd of men were silenced. Sakura's face was turned to the side. Amongst the crowd Neji and Sasuke stared at this show of violence. Most of the men here were sons and husbands below the age of fifty, and contrary to what Sakura thought, were most unlike the men who married the women who followed the requirements of the bride-to-be's. It had merely been something that had been instilled by the snotty and rude council members as well as the nobles of outside the hidden village.
Her face was red and the corner of her lips had begun bleeding.
"You dishonor me Sakura.. Saying things like that... You should know your place."
"F-father.. I... I..."
"Do not dishonor me more by going to the Hokage. Should you do that, I will disown you!"
Everybody was silenced. Even the cockiest or most lecherous of men were silent when they heard that declaration.
Sakura turned to him tears silently coming down her cheeks. "Yes father. I understand." She owed once and walked out of the arched gate with her head held high. No one dared to stand in her way.
"Honorable Hatake Kakashi, forgive her rudeness, she is but a young girl with far too much impulse. My sincere apologies,
Just a young girl who happened to have a whole bucketful of guts. To come barging in like that with no fear of the repercussions, and to take said repercussions with such grace.. It was not easy to do.
"Aah.. She is a quite like you though.. Is she not?" He smirked under his mask. The young Uchiha boy had already left the moment the obi had come of. Young men were so easily embarrassed nowadays. Or perhaps he respected her too much to do it?
Haruno Kyodu just looked away, the pain on his hand bringing guilt with it.
Sakura had fled the moment she had step foot out of the arched stone gate. The tears continued to drip. Staining her kimono.
She quirked the side of her mouth. Mother would be quite upset...
.
.
She did not return home that night. She had only sat in one of their oak trees. Silently watching her parents talk and eat, their shadows moving against the rice paper walls of their house.
She would do whatever it took to protect her family. She could not, wound not allow her mother to be heartbroken. It would be better for them to lose a daughter than to lose the head of house.
She tread silently in her room, packing clothes for a few days into a knapsack as well as some newly hollowed out bamboo bottles. She packed some salves and extra binding cloth as well as bandages. A quick study of her father's prayer room found her the scroll.
'I'm sorry father. But I can't let you do this. Please, forgive your dishonorable daughter.'
She carefully untied Yoru from the stand in the stable and took him out. She walked to the stone ancestral pavilion placed over a hundred paces from the house.
This is it...
Sakura removed her kimono layer by layer, folding it quickly and efficiently. All she had left was her bindings and her shorts. She removed her bindings and winced a little as her breasts fell out. They were getting tender. Oh dear.. Was the moon nearly out? She pressed some chakra into her uterus, sealing it and preventing any untimely moments.
Quietly, she rewound the bindings around her chest as tight as she could, almost crying out at the discomfort. She bit her lips and tightened it further, securing it with the steel ends. Next, she pulled her mesh top on and then she put on a tight-fitting beige vest. This would do if any clothing-grabbing movements happened. Next, she put on her hakama and tied the ends tightly. She shrugged on a hippori and was careful to tie it the way a man would.
She rolled bandages around her hands and feet and smiled a little as she put on her wrist guards and sandals. And now, the final step.
She pulled out a dagger and cut her hair unevenly. While the Uchiha and Hyuuga could get away with long hair, she could not. It would not do for her to stand out. She looked at herself in the shiny ancestral tablets.
She looked like a man. Hadn't her father always said she should have been born a male? Well she certainly looked the part. Hold it...Her hair was pink! Everyone in the village knew she had pink hair! Sakura quickly sent her chakra down her hair. Focusing on the melanin in them and sending some coaxing energies into it. She would not be able to blacken her locks, but she could turn them into a lovely brownish red. There! All done. Now, she was ready.
She kowtowed before her ancestors and relighted the incense.
'Please forgive any dishonor I have caused, I would rather lay in the realms of shame than allow anything more to happen to my father I beg for your blessing.''
And with that, she rode off into the night.
It had begun storming and thunder pounded the skies.
Haruno Kiyara tossed and turned, sweat poured from her skin, drenching her clothing.
'Sakura... Sakura...'
Her daughter was seen fighting another man. It was stormy and thundering within her dreams. So many different scenes were going on at the same time. Sakura riding on a sleek black stallion, garbed in bloodied armor and a sword in her hands.
She was fighting savage looking men. Barbaric with scars all over their bodies. And she tripped. The man smiled cruelly and brought his large mace down on her.
'No! No!'
"SAKURAAAA!"
Her mother screamed in terror as she awoke from her nightmare.
"Kiyara, what is wrong? What.."
"Sakura! Sakura! Where is she!?"
The Haruno mother ran through the corridor as fast as she could and pushed open the door to her daughters room. It was empty with the exceptions of some stray clothings.
Haruno Kyodu feared the worst.
Surely she would not be so silly...
He ran to his prayer room, hoping it wasn't true. That Sakura was not so foolish as to do this. But alas, his wishes were not answered. Sakura had left with the scroll. The scroll he was meant to take.
"Kyodu! We have to stop her!"
"We-we can't... I.."
"What do you mean you can't! Sakura could die! She is just a girl... She... She... Ohh..." She covered her face with her palms.
"If.. If I were to tell them, that she is my daughter... She could be executed. I.. I cannot have that..."
All Kiyara did was sob into his shoulder. Whatever would happen to Sakura? And that girl.. That silly girl who thought she never noticed.. Sakura's fear of men... She would be so afraid...
For the first time in his life, Haruno Kyodu and his wife could merely stay back and hope for the best. Praying that their little girl would not have an untimely accident.
Oh man. It is so hard to pull these words out of me. Like always, review please! Reviews keep me happy and motivated to work hard! Plus, once I pass 30 reviews, a very detailed bathing scene of Sakura and Itachi/Neji/Sasuke scene -you pick the character- with the very elaborately described male-of-choice. I might even have to post it on AFF. Giggles. Okay!
So review please! Panda Gaara is giving out cookies. In only an apron. ;)
