Chapter 1
There will be a lot of Legend of Zelda references and some other ones in the story.
(Normal POV)
Sakura has finally made it to the Leaf Village. She is wearing a black coat with gray designs on the back and had on the hood. She was also wearing a mask that looked like a purple heart with big eyes and spikes (Google search Majora's Mask and that's how the mask she is wearing looks like). Under her coat, she wore a sleeveless red qipao shirt with the Haruno circle on the back and knee-length black shorts.
She sneaked passed two ninjas guarding the entrance and started to walk towards the Hokage's Tower (or is it Building?). Well… if she can find it.
Sakura received many weird glances and stares as she walked through the village. It made sense since she was still a child walking alone with a scary mask on. Some mother's even told their children not to get close to her.
'Man, this is a really big village, but still not as big as mine' she thought.
Three hours has passed since she got here and still couldn't find the Hokage's Tower. She has walked into a park where she saw children playing on the playground. There was a big cherry tree on a small hill not too far away and decided to rest a bit before she headed out again.
As she rested on the tree, a boy about her age walked up to her.
"Hey I never seen you around before, are you new to the village?" the boy said with a quiet voice. Sakura looked up to see a boy with raven hair and onyx eyes. He had a short hair that reached above his shoulders and small marks under his eyes. He wore a high collard blue- gray shirt with a white and red fan on his back and black pants.
"Yes, I am new to the village."
"Are you here alone? Where are your parents?"
"Why are you asking me all of these questions?" Sakura said, slightly annoyed.
"It's not every day I see a kid all covered up and with a weird mask on." He said in a matter-o-fact tone.
"Were you born here?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Do you know where the Hokage Tower is?"
"Yeah, I'll show you. Follow me."
"Ok, thanks"
"No problem. My name is Itachi Uchiha by the way." He said smiling.
"My name is… Sakura Haruno, nice to meet you."
At the Hokage Tower
"Thank you for showing me where it is, I owe you"
"You're welcome. I'll see you later" Itachi responded with a wave as he turned to walk away.
Sakura entered the Hokage Tower sneaking around the guards and other ninja. She finally made it to the door of the Hokage's office. She knocked on the door and when she heard a muffled 'enter', she opened the door. The Hokage had long spiky blonde hair and cerulean eyes. He wore a white robe with red flames at the bottom and under he had a green flat jacket with a dark blue long sleeved shirt.
Sakura walked in the office and bowed to the Hokage. With a smile he spoke, "Ah, so you must be Sakura Haruno. My name is Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage. What brings you here to the Hidden Leaf."
"I'm here to enter into the ninja academy."
"How old are you?"
"I'm four."
"Well, I'm afraid I can't let you enter quite yet. You must wait at least five or six years old to enter."
"Really? I wasn't aware of that." Sakura said slightly disappointed
"Are your parents here with you?"
"No, I came here by myself."
"You did? Your parents must be worried about you."
"Actually, I don't have any parents. My family and village got destroyed by an explosion a year ago and my younger brother and I were the only ones who survived, but my brother died shortly afterwards."
"I'm sorry to hear that, do you have anywhere to stay?" The Hokage said with sadness in is eyes.
"No, but I'll figure something out."
"Nonsense, why don't you stay with me and my wife." He said with a bright smile.
"I don't want to be a burden."
"Then it's settled. You are going to stay here with me and may I ask why you are wearing a mask?"
"To hide my identity. Without it, I am too easy to spot and recognize."
"Can you take it off for me? I won't tell anybody who you are."
"Um… ok." Sakura hesitantly reached for her mask and hood feeling self-conscious, which did not go unnoticed by the Hokage, and slowly took it off. Her shoulder length pink hair and emerald eyes were finally revealed. The Hokage looked amazed of her natural pink hair. He snapped out of it and responded
"I see why you now wear a mask. Your hair is easily noticeable and recognizable, but I don't think that you should hide it. I think you should show the world of your natural beauty, there is no need to feel self-conscious about it."
Sakura looked at him with shock and which quickly turned into embarrassment as she quickly put her hood and mask on again.
"It looks like we're going to have to work on that. Good thing my wife can help with that." Minato looked outside and saw that it was already getting dark. "We should get going. It's getting late."
They both left and walked towards Minato's house.
Minato opened the door to the house and both stepped in.
"Kushina, I'm home and I brought a little guest"
Kushina quickly moved to where Minato was. She had long red hair that almost reached the floor and had cerulean eyes like Minato's. She wore a white shirt with a zipper and a dark green apron over it. You could also notice a small baby bump growing.
Kushina looked at Sakura as she was taking off her hood and mask revealing her pink hair. She squealed and quickly walked over to Sakura, admiring her hair and asked.
"Oh my gosh, is your hair natural!? It's so beautiful. What's your name?"
Sakura who was in shock didn't respond, but Minato responded for her, "Her name is Sakura Haruno and yes, her hair is natural. Sakura will be staying here with us because her parents have been killed along with her entire village."
Kushina looked at Sakura with sadness and said, "I am so sorry about that and stay here for as long as you want. You must be hungry, I'll go and make dinner for us. I'll call when it's ready."
After dinner, Minato showed her the room she will be sleeping in. Her room had a bed with soft green covers and a balcony (it's pretty much the same room it shows on the anime). She walked to her bed and slipped in the covers.
'Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day' she thought as she fell asleep.
Well, that's the end for this chapter. Tell me what you think. It may be a little boring now, but it will get more exciting later on. Thanks for reading and isn't Itachi really cute as a kid. Sorry if he seems OOC.
