Sakura's sister
Chapter 5
Tazuna, Sakura and Naruto yelled. "What".
Kakashi explained about the Hunter-Nin. That just makes the mission more annoying. Like I thought about before, this mission took a lot more work. I have the kids to worry about now; I'll admit the other 2 hit a soft spot with me. I was actually was surprised how fast I warmed up to them, even the Uchiha brat. Sakura brought me out of my thoughts by asking Kakashi.
"But Kakashi-Sensei, I know your Sharingan is great and all, if it hurts you this much, you shouldn't use it". I raised an eyebrow in amusement and snorted.
"Sakura, Kakashi-Sempei been using that eye for who knows how long. It always happened to him because it isn't his blood wise. Like they say, with great power comes a price". I nodded to myself at my wise words. Kakashi laughed at me and said.
"Miki-Chan, if I recall from the Past, you said and I quote, 'Kakashi your dumb to use that stupid eye, you will just pass out and die". My eyes widened, surprised he remembered that. I laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of my neck. Sasuke glared at me. I guessed he felt insulted that his clan's eye by calling it stupid. I rolled my eyes at him and said.
"Don't look at me like that"? Sasuke huffed under his breathe. Kakashi sighed and said.
"All 3 of you need to train". Sakura gaped at him and looked over him, lying there on the floor, most likely to hurt to move. Sasuke looked the same as usual and Naruto looked excited. I steered the kids out of the room and let him get ready. Soon he came out in crutches and I sat at the kitchen table, relaxed. A little boy came in and hugged Tazuna. I guessed he was a grand kid or something, looking at Tazuna's age and the age of the little boy. The boy looked at us and said.
"Your all gonna die"! I sighed and closed my eyes, already predicting what would happen next. I was right when I heard Naruto yelling at the boy for saying things like that, Naruto yelled.
"Hey Brat! What did you say"? I heard movement and then a pounding on the floor, he must of stomped on the floor or fell. The boy yelled.
"No one can beat Gato! He will kill you"! I groaned, like a Nara would say, he is troublesome. The boy yelled at me.
"What are you making noise about"? Since he was just a kid, I decided to ignore him to not fight with a little brat. He yelled again.
"Why are you ignoring me"? I heard Sasuke's cold voice say.
"Why would a high ranking ninja have to listen to a brat like you"? I raised my eyebrows, but kept my eyes closed. I then noticed the tone of voice, Matter of fact, he was just stating facts. I heard stomping on the floorboards and guested he left. I opened my eyes and saw Naruto's pissed off expression, I said.
"Naruto, don't let him get to you. Some people lose hope young". He nodded with a scowl. Gato must have did something. Since he says no one can beat Gato, I 'm guessing he knew someone strong to him that got beat by him. Kakashi hobbled next to me.
"Miki-Chan, are you coming"? I asked.
"What are you teaching"? He said.
"Trees". The three kids looked more confused and I shook my head and said.
"Naw, it gets boring watching people just fall over and over". They all looked confused and Kakashi ushered them out. Watching Chakra Control is boring. I yawned and closed my eyes and leaned back. Since I was alone, I had thoughts of my dreams that came back suddenly. Maybe it's because I'm back in Konoha. The thoughts of this problem were getting me angrier. I growled and jumped up out of my seat. Tazuna also jumped at my abrupt movement and I smiled tightly at him and said.
"Sorry, Tazuna-san". He nodded and moved away from me. What to do when the memories or life gets too much? Train, of course! I went to an area where Kakashi, his team and the Tazuna family was far away from. I stood in front of a sturdy normal sized tree and attacked it. All my thoughts and problem were gone. I felt a presence and heard a all too familiar voice say.
"Still hitting inanimate objects in anger, I see". I spun around and glared hatefully at the man.
"Uchiha, what are you doing here? Working for Gato"? He took a couple of steps forward while I took a couple of steps back and got tensed ready to defend myself. He said monotony.
"You should know I would never stoup that low". I said with a bitter laugh.
"I don't know, how much more low can you get". I sneered at him. I can't believe what he did. All I know is that he is my enemy now and I can't let emotional feelings get in the way. He shifted and saw his eyes; they were charcoal black instead of the Sharingan red. I chuckled and said.
"Listen just leave, I'm going to fight you like you brother would, though I don't blame him you dirty bastard". I noticed a slight frown on his face. What he don't like to hear the sin he caused. With a nod, he jumped into a tree and left me alone where I was. Damn him to Hell, just when I was getting a clear mind. I really seeing the face I once saw as a friend, but a small part of me was happy he was alive. But that part I squashed down so that I don't think about it.
I was so in my thoughts, I didn't know that I ended up at the house. I really needed to stoop spacing out like that. Sasuke and Naruto were eating really fast, while Sakura ate at a normal pace. I was hungry, but was not in the mood to eat. I just sat there with my arms crossed and closed my eyes and tried to relax my mind. I heard a voice say.
"Eat". I heard Kakashi's voice and looked to see a bowl of soup in front of me. I glared at it and then glared at Kakash, who was giving me the order and the food. I said.
"Not Hungry". He glared this time and said sternly.
"Eat, Miki. I know you're hungry". I scowled and stared to eat slowly. I heard a very Sakura ask me.
"Are you okay, Mi-nee". I felt myself soften and smile gently at her. She called me that when we were kids. I ruffled he hair and say.
"Yeah, Saku-chan". She blushed, but smiled at me. I heard Kakashi's voice have an edge to it.
"Why is there blood in your hands"? I rubbed my knuckles on my pants, ignoring the slight pain that came with the action. I just smiled and said.
"What blood"? He said while shaking his head.
"You should talk to people instead of taking your anger like that". I scowled and said back.
"Nobody like a hypocrite Kakashi-Sempai". I stood up and nodded to everyone saying I was going to sleep.
They spent the rest of the week trying to tree climb and Sakura did it in the first day. I'm proud but at the same time I know it's because of her low Chakra. Maybe when we get back I will make her train and I mean make her. Eh, Anko rubs off on me. Sakura was guarding Tazuna today and I decided to go with them. We were at the bridge and Tazuna and the workers were lifting things and doing the whole bridge thing. I was bored out of my mid laying on a board next to Sakura. I had an idea and called Tazuna over. He walked over here and asked.
"What do you want, I'm working"? I smiled and said.
"Well, Tazuna-San could I help in anyway"? I laughed and said.
"I'm a ninja, I can lift things easily and my hand if fine if that's what you were going to say". He closed his mouth and nodded, waving me on. I grinned and said to Sakura or sung.
"Bye- bye Sakura! I'm going to help the old people"! She shook her head and mumbled.
"She acts younger than me, I swear she an idiot". I smacked her on her head with a laugh and bounded after Tazuna. I looked at the pile he pointed at Ffour long boards. I added a little Chakra like I did when I carried Kakashi and grabbed 2 on each shoulder and asked Tazuna where he wanted it. The looked shocked but we walked to the end of the bridge and I put it down.
The day was spent like that and it was sundown by the time when finished. We walked home, my back and arms hurting just a little. We were eating and Naruto and Sasuke came in with their arms over each other shoulders. I raised an eyebrow, but did not comment. Naruto yelled out.
"We did it! We made it to the top". Kakashi eye-smiled and said.
"Good! You can help watch Tazuna-San tomorrow". Naruto threw his fist in the air and they both fell. We all laughed as Sasuke yelled at Naruto, pissed off since it was his fault. It made me grin. Sometimes they reminded me of my old team.
Except Sensei was more like a hot head and always yelled at me and Kikyo for yelling at each other. Ryo would sometimes try to be the peace maker if it got really bad, but just trained, meditated or watched. I was broken out of my thoughts by the Inari kid slamming his hands on the table in anger, he yelled.
"What are you all relaxed, Gato is going to kill you all"! Naruto said simply.
"I won't let a guy like that kill me". Inari yelled.
"You don't know nothing about the people and problems her! You don't know what it's like to have it hard". I grimaced slightly. I could guess the Kyuubi container life was not great living in the place where the demon he holds destroyed it. He yelled at the kid.
"At least I don't whine about everything! All you are is a big crybaby"! Naruto stomped out andbefore Sakura could try to hit him, I pt a hand on his shoulder and said.
"Sakura-Chan, leave him be". Sakura frowned.
"But…" I said in a firm voice.
"Leave Naruto alone, he's right". Inari ran off and Sakura said.
"He shouldn't have said something like that". I nodded.
"While that is true, I believe mopping around won't help you. Sometimes people need to move on with their lives, because if you don't, you'll never be able to live". Kakashi got up and I laid in bed, when did I become so wise. I sighed and put my hands behind my head and closed my eyes tiredly. Sleep took me and I woke up to Sakura shaking me. After getting my clothes after a quick couple minutes shower, I tied my hair and strapped my sword to my right hip.
I walked into the main room of the house and nodded to the rest of them, too tired and not used to going without a coffee this long. When we get home, I'm buying some right away. We walked to the bridge only to see the workers knocked out or dead. I saw a mist rolling around and said.
"It looks like there will be a fight coming in". He nodded and Sakura and Sasuke were stiff. Naruto was back at the house because he over worked himself. Tazuna was protected by Sakura and Sasuke on either side of him. I stood next to Kakashi, any of our past problems this week out the window and in fight mode.
I heard a chuckle and saw 2 people, Zabuza and the Ex- hunter Ninja. I rested my right hand on the hilt of my sword while my other hand was in my left pocket. Kakashi said.
"It looks like I was right, hiding behind that mask. Who do you think you are"? I snorted, unable to help myself. He should talk about Masks and hiding behind them. I felt Kakashi twitch and I grinned. Sasuke said.
"Yeah, hiding behind a mask". My sister said.
"Your so cool, Sasuke-kun". I sighed and yelled back.
"Sakura! Stop being a fan girl right now"! I heard silence and then saw 10 water clones of Zabuza come out of the mist. Kakashi said.
"Go ahead Sasuke". I saw that he used the new found speed of tree climbing and took them out easily. I sighed and shook my head, not wanting childhood memories to haunt me in battle. So I blanked my mind to think only for the mission. He went back to his spot and Zabuza said to his partner.
"Haku, it looks like you have someone to go against". The Ex- hunter ninja named Haku and Sasuke went into battle. They were at needle and kunai. Haku then made a one hand sign and I was surprised. It takes great skill and control and it harder on boys. He said.
"Thousand Needles of Death". Many ice shaped like needles rose from the water from the shadow clones and rushed at Sasuke. He used his control on Chakra to get away. I felt a small bit of relief, but pushed it down and focused. Haku asked.
"I suppose you won't give up now". Sasuke said.
"Not a chance" The air then got colder and Mirrors surrounded Sasuke and that Haku guy. I frowned as me and Kakashi rushed at it. Zabuza stepped in the way and said.
"If you interfere I'll kill those two over there. Let our kids play". I froze knowing Sakura was there and so did Kakashi. He and Kakashi faced off and I stood in the middle of Sakura and the client and Kakashi and Zabuza.
They started to battle it off and I stood tense as my eyes flickered to the dome and back to the battle. I heard Sasuke screamed and I clenched my teeth. Sakura yelled Sasuke name and I yelled back at her.
"Sakura! Calm down, Sasuke is a Shinobi, he's fine". I knew he would never be able to do what he should right now, kill someone no matter what he saw when he was a child. Sakura yelled back.
"We are not like you, an experienced Ninja"! All I said was.
"Keep on your guard". Then there was a smoke cloud and I looked to see Naruto. I face palmed and shook my head, does he even know any shinobi rule. He said.
"The hero is here, Naruto Uzumaki". I sighed; I swear that kid is an idiot and opposite of what a ninja supposed to be. At least he's not boring. I looked at the dome and smirked, of course! If he attacks from the inside and Naruto attacks from outside he can get through. He then yelled out his Jutsu and Zabuza threw some shiruken and Haku threw some Senbon and both weapons stopped.
Why would he do that? Haku saud.
Zabuza-Sama, I'll deal with this boy myself". Zabuza said.
"Heh, you were always soft". Naruto than ran into the dome before I could stop and I cursed under my breath. I heard their screaming and locked a look with Kakashi, he nodded. I heard Sakura say.
"Come on, Naruto, Sasuke you can beat him"! Kakashi said.
"Sakura don't cheer them on, there is one thing they can't do…" I said, interrupting him.
"Killing, they can't do it now". Zabuza slashed at Kakashi and got him in the stomach, but not that bad. Then I felt an chakra that was familler and I froze. It brought a memory.
I had my family with me when I was 4; Sakura was a couple of month's year old and my parents. My father got pushed in a house by that Chakra and I had my baby sister thrown into me. I fell, but held on tightly, I would never let something happen to her, I promised. My father came to us injured and took me and Sakura in his arms.
I shook my head and focused, Zabuza and Kakashi seemed to be frozen while muttering about a seal. Did the seal break? I know about the basics of seals, every Jonin should know that. The Chakra went down, but the Mirrors were breaking. I focused on the battle and saw Kakashi with his dog scroll out and I kicked Zabuza in that direction. I backed up when I felt the ground rumble and landed next to Kakashi. The dogs burst out of the ground and help onto parts of Zabuza's body, Kakashi said.
"I let you hit me, that way I got my blood on your blade and I could summon my dos. I told you I had more than the Shanringan. I ask you again, do you quit". Zabuza laughed and I sighed with a nod, he has to do it now. It's the sake of the mission. He made the crackling in his palm and I knew it was Chidori. Before he could stab him in the heart, something went in front of him and Kakashi killed it instead. I noticed it was the boy Haku instead and frowned.
Zabuza then tried to cut through Haku to get Kakashi and he jumped away with Haku in his arms. I took my sword out and blocked his with mine. I practiced with it while I was waiting. He glared at me, but he seemed sloppy. I grinned at him and said.
"Demon of the mist, you will die today just because you piss me off". He glared and I smirked and kicked him in the stomach. He grunted and I jumped back and Shushined behind him and kicked him toward a waiting Kakashi. They fought, but you could easily see Kakashi was winning. I smirked, and saw Naruto. I waved at him, but he looked depressed. I knew Kakashi could handle it and I walked over to him. I knelt down since he was on his knees and asked.
"What's wrong with you" I heard crying and looked to see Sakura crying over Sasuke body with Tazuna near her. I sighed and rubbed my face tiredly. I patted Naruto on the head and walked over there and patted Sakura on the back and stared at Sasuke dead face. I narrowed my eyes and a grin came on my face, I said.
"Sakura move". She looked at me with tear filled eyes, but I looked at Sasuke. I took the needle in his neck and pulled it out. I said with a sigh.
"That kid was not aiming to kill. He really hated it". Sakura was staring at me, still laying on Sasuke. I then heard.
"Sakura get off, you too heavy". I chuckled and walked away. I saw Zabuza charging at a group of men and a little guy with a cane, I guessed he was Gato. They struck him in the back a lot, but he killed Gato by slitting his throat. He collapsed and laid next to Haku on the ground.
Sasuke showed up and gave a small wave and Naruto brightened. I chuckled. Then it started knowing and I grinned, catching some in my hands. I haven't seen show in a while. Only a couple of times on my mission and I loved it. The men in the crowd got mad and went to attack us. But the villagers showed up with Inari in the front showed up and I smirked, something must have changed him and I can only guess who. They ran off scared when Kakashi used Bushin and I sighed, at least the mission was complete.
A week later we were hanging around, almost ready to leave and we were going to visit their graves soon. I and Sakura were sitting in the room relaxing next to each other. She asked me.
"Does killing come easier when you rise in ranks"? I frowned.
"Yes and no. you will find it just being a part of the job and doing it as a skill of a Shinobi. But killing will be on your mind and can haunt you. Why do you ask me and not Kakashi-Sempai"? She said.
"I wanted to hear what It was like from someone I really know". I nodded slowly and said.
"You know, before you become a Jonin, you can't pass if you haven't killed anyone on a mission or something like that". She looked at me shocked and asked.
"Why"?! I chuckled darkly and asked.
"Isn't it obvious? Jonin get high ranking missions. Most of time, you will have to kill and people have bounties on their heads. I killed three years ago and sometimes still have nightmares about it and you will most likely have them to when the time is done". She obsorbed what I said and said.
"Okay, Nee-Chan". I frowned and said with a deep sigh.
"Sakura, you need to take your ninja career more seriously. I should have been here to monitor it. When we get back I will be training you myself." She looked angry.
"What would you know about that? You were never around. You were gone for 6 years"! I said back.
"Yeah and I regret it! My own sister was turned into a fan girl and over an Uchiha no less". She said.
"What wrong with an Uchiha? Would you care if I was with someone else"?! I laughed.
"You act like you are going to gain his affection! Sakura, Sasuke is an Uchiha and they just don't care about stuff liekt aht! It's power and strength with them. I don't want to have to be at your funeral because you like a boy that would never like you back". Her face was crestfallen and I stormed out of the room. I felt someone grab my arm and looked to see Kakashi. I glared at him as he led me to the table. He asked.
"Don't you think that was harsh"? I took a deep breath, the last fight still making me angry. I said.
"A Shinobi life is harsh. At her age I was in a mission for 2 years"! He sent me a stern look.
"She is not you. He might return…" I laughed.
"Don't even, he is worse than him. He never threated them like that.In the end, all Uchiha's are is traitors to Konoha. I know there is something going on with that kid". He said.
"Miki, watch the way you talk about my students. You been testy ever since we got on this mission. Plus not all Uchiha are bad". I sighed and said.
"Sorry, Kakashi". I got up and spend my time int the forest until the funeral.
We stared at Zabuza's and Haku funeral and Kakashi stared talking to them about Shinobi rules and Nindo. I don't think anyone follows that anymore. I yawned. I have not been getting any sleep lately. The fight must be it. We were getting ready to leave to the village and the villagers were waiting in the crowd for us to leave. Inari and Naruto were crying and I chuckled at their childless.
Sakura was ignoring me and I gave up on her. Kakashi was too, but he was subtle on it. Naruto was busy crying and I didn't even want to look at the Uchiha right now. It's the reason why I was being ignored by two people in the first place. Then we walked the road home and couldn't wait to get there, maybe Anko could get me a drink. I was 17, but looked to be 18.
Chapter End
Sorry for not updating in like for months, but I forgot this and was more focused on Itachi's daughter and copycat Ninja daughter. Then I started watching one piece and couldn't help write two of those and I really like them. I don't know when I'll update this one again, but I'm be updating a lot until school start and it will be back to normal or a little slower.
Please enjoy this and review on what you think. About the talk about Jonin exams, I only guessed, think about the shinobi missions. They could not take the chance of freezing up.
