YAY! THE REVEIW FAIRY VISITED ME!

I'm really suprised at the number of reveiws I've gotten in the last four or five days (Not that I'm complaining, KEEP 'EM COMMIN' PLEASE!)

O.K. first of all, Gotta give props to Yuuki-Hime 2097 and L.M.D.A.A for guessing my character ressurection correctly. XD

Thanks for playing and enjoy the chapter

*Insert standard disclaimer here*

Chapter 5: Captain Sakura?

"You've got to be kidding me," Sakura mumbled miserably. Not quite believing the figure standing before her when the smoke cleared.

"Oh! You don't remember me Sakura-Chan? I'm hurt," the man said, anime tears streaming down his face.

"Of all the people I could have been stuck with after death, it had to be THIS pervert," she growled, she was starting to get a headache.

"You two know each other?" Yammamoto asked, surprised.

"Unfortunately," she said.

"Saku-Chan, you've grown up so much," she said as he slung an arm around her shoulders, his hand snaking underneath the breastplate of her armor. Her mask of calm shattered and a vein instantly pooped up on her forehead. She gripped his forearm and flipped him over her head.

"ERO-SENNIN!" she shouted as she chucked Jiraiya at a wall, leaving a six-inch deep imprint of him as he slid down the wall and landed on his head. "Bastard," she said irritation and annoyance, clear as day on her face.

The Shinigami just stared, even Byakuya's widened; they had never seen such strength before.

"Now, now, Sakura," Jiraiya chided," is that any way to treat the novelist who used YOU as an inspiration in his last novel?"

Sakura paled, her eyes widened in horror,"you didn't."

"Now don't be afraid to show a little gratitude, Saku-Chan," she said, digging his hole that much deeper.

Sakura composed herself,"Jiraiya, do you remember who I've been training under for the last three years?" she asked, her voice eerily calm.

"Of course! It was Tsuna-"he couldn't finish as Sakura's fist promptly made friends with his jaw. His head snapped back as he went flying through the thick wooden doors. He somersaulted, face-over-ass, before he landed face-first in a pond about sixty yards away from the doorway.

Realizing where she was and who was there she turned to Yammamoto. "My apologies, sir, but may we continue this in a moment?"

A speechless head captain could only gape and nod like the rest of the fish-eyed Shinigami.

"Thank you," she said as she bowed respectfully. She then spun around on her heel, centered all of her chakra to her feet, and sprinted after the soon-to-be hamburger meat.

The conference room was absolutely silent. A pin could have dropped in Hueco Mundo and it still would have sounded like Yammamoto had just hit a gong. Kenpachi Zaraki was the first person to recover.

I like this girl!" he said and started to laugh his crazy ass off.

A forgotten Ichigo looked around the room. All the captains were as white as their haoris and he was pretty sure Toshiro pissed himself.

"Well, Damn!" he stated simply. The other Shinigami just nodded in agreement. 'Damn' was an understatement.

Half an Hour Later

Sakura was kneeling before Yammamoto the same way she would Tsunade. Jiraiya was sitting next to her, yoga-style, holding a piece of meat to his black, swollen eye, ginning like a fool. He was missing a few teeth. Sakura was staring at him like a hawk does her prey. Yammamoto cleared his throat to get her attention.

"As you are all probably aware, there have been more recent sightings of arrancars and Espada recently. They are getting faster and stronger. I think all the captains have come to the same conclusion, we need more captains to lead and train our squads," he said.

"Excuse me," Sakura said," forgive the interruption, but what does this have to do with me?"

"I was getting to that. As you know we are short three captains and this leaves us at a great disadvantage. The only way I see to level the playing field is to fill those empty slots."

Sakura was getting curious, 'What's this old geezer planning?' she thought.

"But sir, who will fill take their places?" said a captain, with what looked like a bucket on his head, asked.

"Well that's where these shinobi come in. Tell me Miss. Haruno, how well do you fight with a katana?"he asked her.

'Uh-oh, I think I know where this is headed,' she thought to herself.

"In order to become an ANBU, Jounnin shinobi are expected to mater all forms of weaponry from senbon to archery, katanas included. As for how well I fought with one? Well, only one person was ever able to beat me," she said, the memory of said person still stuck a nerve. 'Stupid bird-ass,' she mentally added.

Again, Yammamoto and the other captains were amazed at the girl's strength, knowledge, and power at such a young age.

"Sir where are you going with this?" said a young woman with pig-tail braids asked.

"We have three empty slots and we are at a disadvantage," the head captain repeated. All eyes were on him and they were very curious about what he was going to say next."What I am asking you Miss. Haruno, is if you would be willing to train as a Shinigami, and fill one of our empty captain positions."

Everyong in the room gasped, and Sakura's jaw almost dropped. Almost.
