Excuse me for my grammar mistakes. i'm too tired to look at it a third time.


Everyone hung their heads in despair, until a loud laughter could be heard behind them. Everyone minus Kakashi and Gai, turned their heads to look for the source of the laughter. They found Sakura with nothing but simple scratches and clutching her stomach from the pain of laughing.

"Sakuraaaa," Sasuke hissed looking at the pinkette. Sakura gulped flailing her arms up and down.

"S-as-uke! It was a harmless joke! Tenten! Naruto! Help me!" Sakura stammered. The two shrugged their shoulders and turned back to Kakashi, who was chuckling lightly.

"You knew didn't you," Naruto grumbled looking at his silver haired sensei.

"Gai and I will bid Tazuna farewell. The bridge is now complete and so is our mission. Meet at the gate in ten minutes." Kakashi said waving his hand and poofing away from the scene with Gai, who also knew Sakura's joke. Sasuke looked at the furious Hyuuga and nodded. Sakura noticed the silent communication from the two prodigies. Soon, she felt herself against a small tree and Neji had paralyzed her arms and legs temporarily. Sasuke appeared in front of her and smirked. He bounded her hands with chakra strings along with her feet.

"Naruto, Tenten you know what to do" Neji smirked jumping back. Ten other Narutos appeared, pulling the tree out of the ground. Tenten quickly pinned Sakura's clothes to the tree.

"YOU GUYS WILL DIE! UNTIE ME!" Sakura yelled at the smirking prodigies.

"Sorry, Sakura-chan but you did trick us." Lee commented while Naruto smiled. Everyone returned to Konoha with Sakura still strapped on the tree. When they arrived at the bridge, Naruto slammed the tree on the ground so it would stay up.

"Alright Gai and I will turn in the mission you're free to go." Kakashi instructed leaving the six genins. Sasuke then disappeared without saying a word, Naruto went to the ichiraku ramen shop and Lee dragged Tenten to practice; leaving the Hyuuga to deal with Sakura. Before she could speak he pulled out the kunais that Tenten had pinned her with. Neji caught her in his arms bridal style, she blushed at the contact but nonetheless showed him the chakra binds.

"Please," she pleaded silently looking at his cold eyes. Neji returned to this cold self during the travel to Konoha.

"Hn," he replied shifting her on his shoulder so he could pull out a kunai. Sakura let out a small 'omph' as her stomach hit his shoulder. Neji pulled out a kunai and focused a small amount of his own chakra and cut up the strings. Then he roughly dropped her on the ground.

"Thanks…but you could be more sensitive you know." Sakura mumbled rubbing her sore butt.

"You want me to be sensitive? When you faked your own death as a harmless prank…have you thought of Naruto and Sasuke's feelings before you pulled of that insensitive prank? So don't talk to me about being sensitive. You don't know the meaning of the word. You may have fooled my Byakugan with your trick, but you still showed us what an immature child you are." Neji spat coldly, leaving the girl with her thoughts.

Sakura felt a pang of guilt running through her. She got up to dust her outfit and walked toward her house.

"Am I that immature?"

"Yes, kinda. For a girl who is strong you sure do come off a bit immature. You're the daughter of the great Kakashi Hatake! Hold your head high! Enough of you stupid tricks. You should stop hiding your damn abilities."

"I can't and you know that. When I killed Zabuza I am sure that everyone knows that I am Kakashi's daughter. Many will come after me and that's the reason why my abilities will stay hidden. If they think I'm weak then they will back off. If only I was stronger. I couldn't even protect dad." Sakura thought aloud closing the door behind her.

"Sakura, you don't have to hide them. I've trained you myself. Plus, I can take care of myself. But if you do wish to get stronger, Jiraiya-sama will be meeting up with Tsunade-sama I have already sent a letter to her asking for you to be trained as her apprentice and she gladly accepted. I have talked to the Hokage and he has allowed for you to leave for five years to train under her. You will leave tomorrow if you accept this offer. In five years the chunin exams will be held, you will be back then to enter it with Naruto and Sasuke." Kakashi explained bringing her daughter back to Earth.

"I accept it dad. But will you be okay? I mean five years is a long time." Sakura questioned, Kakashi let out a heartily laugh.

"Don't worry about me. I just want you to come back and be confident in your abilities to finally show the world you are my daughter." Kakashi said looking at her scratching the back of his head. Sakura let out a grin and nodded; running up to her room to pack her clothes.


The next morning, team seven and Hinata gathered at the gates.

"Naruto are you leaving too?" Kakashi asked looking at his blond student.

"Yeah! Pervy sage is going to train me! When I come back in five years I will be stronger! BELIEVE IT!" Naruto answered pumping his fist in the air.

"Sasuke train with dad okay? Keep him safe and away from his perverted books. When Naruto and I come back, we will conquer the chunin exams together," Sakura said looking at Sasuke before giving him a hug.

"Hn,"

"Hinata, train your hardest. When I come back I expect to see you not stuttering around everyone." Sakura pointed out looking at the Hyuuga heiress. Hinata nodded giving her best friend a hug. Sakura hugged her back and moved on to her dad, who ruffled her long pink hair not saying a word to her.

"Sakura-chan we have to go," Naruto said dragging her towards the Toad Sage. The three Konoha ninjas waved goodbye.

"Well, Sasuke we should go train. Hinata, I think Kurenai is looking for you." Kakashi mentioned heading to the training grounds as Sasuke followed silently.

Sasuke felt anger and sadness wash over him as he trudges to follow the copy ninja.


it seems like its going to fast..i know because I'm just trying to set up the right time it will slow down i promis. also I know that they were twelve when they all took the chunin exams and was trained after Sasuke leaves but now Sakura and Naruto leaves while Sasuke stays. They will be 17 when they take the chunin exams. I do know the plot I just think it would be better this way.

Thanks for the reviews from:

madin456: and thank you so much! I know not many neji and sakura moments but they will come.

Violentblossom: okay soo basically Sakura thinks that shes too weak to be known as Kakashi's daughter thus the reason why she is hiding her talent. There WILL be flash backs on her training in further chapters

PLEASE REVIEW! no FLAMES last chapter felt like a fail since only madin456 reviewed it.
