"Sakura come along" Shino called to his sister it was the morning after they had received their shinobi headbands and the both of them had to get back to the academy "Hold on Shino I can't find my senbon pouch" Sakura came trailing out of her room pouting only to pause in surprise when Shino holds the pouch out to her "I held onto it because I knew that if I didn't it would get lost" he answers simply grinning behind the collar of his coat when Sakura glares at him huffing in irritation.
"Your a meanie" she dubs before stalking passed him and down the stairs where she stops in front of the door that was being blocked by Shibi "My children I am very proud of you uphold the Aburame family name but most important of all become great genin, chunin, jonin and so on to help protect the village" Shibi hugs Sakura kissing her on the top of her head allowing himself to be a little more affectionate with the girl after his speech before shaking Shino's hand and ushering the two of them out the door so they wouldn't be late.
"Bye Dad/Father" both teens call out pushing chakra into their feet and taking to the rooftops making it to the academy in record time "I so won that time" Sakura pumps her arm up in the air and turns smugly to Shino who shakes his head at his sisters antics before he can say anything "SASUKE-KUN" a loud screech from behind him makes both of the Aburame's cringe recognizing the voice as Ino Yamanaka "I feel sorry for whatever guy marries her" Sakura rubs her ears trying to get them to stop aching.
Silently agreeing with Sakura Shino gestures for her to precede him into the building and into their classrooms where they would be meeting their jonin sensei's heading to the back of the class as per usual he stops "Sakura no matter who you have on your team just remember teamwork is more important than holding old grudges" Shino was talking about her grudge against Sasuke and Ino the two that had made her academy days hell just because she understood everything Iruka-sensei was talking about.
"Sakura-chan" Naruto appears behind her staying as far away from Shino as possible even though he was Sakura's brother "Yes Naruto" Sakura turns and smiles wondering how anyone could ever hate him once you got past his pranks and perpetual dumbness Naruto was actually very sweet and courageous not to mention brave, she had become fast friends with the dorky blonde but she wouldn't trade him or any of her friends speaking of another friend he was slowly walking into the classroom looking utterly bored.
"Oh I hope we get on the same team" Naruto bounces down to his seat once he realizes that he had lost Sakura's attention "Hey Shikamaru" she greets when he sits next to her and lays his head on the desk already appearing to be asleep the only way she could he wasn't was the small muttering he gave her "Hello Sakura" before falling silent "Alright listen up everyone as of today your now genin so congratulations" Iruka appears and the class settles down into their seats eagerly awaiting to hear who their jonin instructor would be.
"Team 7 is Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Aburame, and Sasuke Uchiha" Iruka calls out before moving on and telling the rest of the new genin their teams 'Ugh why does it have to be Sasuke' Sakura whines internally before breathing deeply and looking at her other teammate "So Naruto it looks like we are on a team together" she grins hugging him tightly before turning and staring at Sasuke who was looking at them a scowl on his lips and hate in his eyes "Losers" Sasuke grumbled out before moving far away from them.
"Hey Shika who did you get" Sakura asks his gesture is enough only two people could get him to act like that "Oh" she giggles at the boy before standing up and moving to Shino who was already surrounded by his teammates "Sakura good luck" he nods his head before getting up to greet his sensei and soon enough only Sakura and her two teammates were left in the room 'Cha our sensei is late why do we have to get a sensei who is late' Inner screeches rampaging around the confines of Sakura's head.
All of a sudden a loud bang jerks Sakura out of her thoughts as a purple-haired woman busts through the door to the classroom "Listen up you brats I'm your sensei Mitarashi Anko" Anko grins maliciously scaring the two boys but the girl remains indifferent to her tactics 'So pinky is a tough one ehh' Anko smiles before barking out "You have 5 minutes to get to the roof if you guys are late well your punishment won't be pleasant" and disappears with a handsign causing Naruto to panic.
"Ahhhhhhh what are we gonna do it takes about 10 minutes to get up there we are never gonna make it" he yells running around in a circle eyes wide in horror "Naruto calm down" Sakura steps up and before Sasuke can protest grabs both of their hands and with amazing chakra control does the same thing their sensei had done and transports the three of them to the room with 3 minutes to spare much to the shock of Anko who was looking forward to doling out some grueling training to her new students.
"Well at least one of you has some prior training what's your name pinky" Anko laughs pointing at the pink-haired girl that was proving to be at least to her an amusing girl "Its Sakura Aburame Mitarashi-sensei" Sakura nods her head respectfully "Main or Branch" Anko asks again eyes narrowing in thought "Main Family Mitarashi-sensei" Sakura bows her head again "Huh didn't know Shibi had a daughter" Anko asks aloud in thought not really expecting Sakura to answer her but blinks in shock when she does.
"I'm adopted I was brought into the house when I was 5" Sakura admits drawing the curiosity of both Sasuke and Naruto who hadn't known anything about the mysterious girl that had shown up one day along with Shino "Well brat are you full of bugs as well" Anko asks interested "No but I can summon a horde of plume moths that are very poisonous" she admits again causing Naruto to gulp in fear and Sasuke to back away from her before shaking his head "Hey what about us she isn't the only one here you know" he gripes drawing Anko's attention.
"Well now that you've drawn my attention what's your name you little punk" Anko glares at him effectively scaring Sasuke into taking another step away from the purple-haired woman that was to be his sensei "It's Sasuke Uchiha" he snaps trying not to show fear as she smiles at him her teeth gleaming in the sunlight "Well good for you and you blondie what's your name" she asks already knowing but asking anyway "I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'm going to become the next Hokage" Naruto boasts drawing a laugh from the two females.
"Well you sure are a lively group of genin" Anko admits rubbing the back of her head when all three of the teens stare at her "Anyways meet at training ground 13 at 4:00am and don't be late" she warns menacingly before poofing away in another cloud of smoke "I like her" Sakura laughs gleefully causing her two male teammates to stare at her like she was crazy "Well if Sakura-chan likes her then so do I" Naruto exclaims boldly even though the purple-haired woman had scared the hell out of him.
"Whatever" Sasuke grumbles walking away when both Naruto and Sakura stare at him "So Naruto how would you like it if I picked you up for your place tomorrow morning so that we aren't late and then we could swing by and get Sasuke and head to the training grounds see if we can't impress Anko-sensei" Sakura gives a giggle when Naruto nods eagerly at her suggestion "Well Naruto I have to get home and tell my dad the good news" she smiles sweetly waving and disappearing while Naruto heads home to his little apartment alone.
Arriving in front of the compound Sakura see's Shino hesitating in front of the door and smiles mischievously masking her chakra as they had been taught when they were younger and steps lightly reaching out to scare him only to squeal in shock when he turns suddenly a serious look of contemplation on his face only to blink in surprise when he registers that Sakura was standing behind him "How long have you been standing there" he asks praying that she hadn't seen his mini break-down.
"Just a few minutes" Sakura admits once she had calmed down "Oh" he raises his eyebrows before turning back around and opening the door "Welcome home Shino-sama, Sakura-sama" the maids of the compound greet bowing low as they walk through the halls to their Father's office knocking on the door they hear a muffled come in and doing so they are greeted by their father running a hand through his bushy hair as he signed and filled out reports on the comings and goings of the Aburame clan.
"Hello Father" Both teens greet causing Shibi to look up upon noticing his children he stands and walks over to them "So did it go well for the both of you" he asks sighing in relief when both nod eagerly he had been informed before hand who they would be having as teammates and their jonin instructors but Shibi didn't know how his children would react to them "I like my sensei she is cool" Sakura bursts out causing Shibi to grimace at the thought of Anko already corrupting his sweet Sakura.
"And you Shino do you like your sensei" he asks enquiringly "She is alright" Shino responds not really having much of an opinion yet as he hadn't trained with her yet "I see well I've been informed by both of your sensei's that you have team training very early in the morning so I suggest you eat and shower and pack some supplies before heading to bed early" Shibi announces sternly ushering the teens out of his office when they nod and hurry to the dining room to eat their supper.
Eating quickly Sakura jumps up gets into the shower forgoing shaving and instead just washing her mid-back length hair and body she jumps out and hurries into the yukata that a maid must have put their for her before running into her room and packing a kunai pouch, and a senbon, needle pouch her summons scroll in case she needed it along with a scroll filled with food and of course some soldier pills consisting of blood replenishing pills, chakra restoring pills and food pills packing them all into a backpack before laying down and falling asleep for the night.
At 2:35am Sakura's alarm blares and she jerks upright out of bed pulling a kunai out from underneath her pillow in defense before realizing that it was just her alarm huffing in irritation she lays back down to go back to sleep when her eyes fly open to look at the clock 'Oh that's right gotta go get Naruto and Sasuke and then get to training ground 13' Sakura groans sitting up in her bed once more wiping the sleep out of her eyes dressing and putting on her ninja gear donning her backpack she stealthily slips down the stairs and out of the house.
Before she had left she had grabbed 3 apples and 3 bottles of water for the 3 of them to eat so they wouldn't starve during their training until they could break for lunch quickly walking down the still dark streets Sakura pushes chakra into her feet to speed up and soon she is flying up the stairs unlocking Naruto's door with the spare key he had given her so she wouldn't break down his door again she enters into the apartment sighing in resignation when she see's it messy and unclean again after she had spent 4 hours cleaning it a few months ago.
Moving objects out of her way as Sakura makes her way to Naruto's room she huffs in irritation resolved to give him a good talking to after their training was over for the day "Naruto wake up" Sakura nudges him gently at first but after several minutes and no response she resorts to drastic measures 'Ok then let's see you sleep through this' Inner smirks as Sakura raises a pail of water and drops in on Naruto causing him to wake up thrashing around spluttering as he tries to figure out what had happened.
Seeing her laughing he pouts swiping his hair out of his eyes he looks at his clock 2:45am and looks at her "Sakura-chan why are you waking me up this early in the morning" he yawns attempting to lay back down when she jerks the cover off of him and he shivers "Sakura-chan your so mean" he chatters feeling the chill finally set in "Hurry up Naruto and get dressed" she throws a bag of clothes at him and he hurries into the bathroom to do as she had said knowing that she meant business when she talked like that.
Coming out of the bathroom wearing the new clothes not happy even though the clothes were orange it wasn't bright orange like before Naruto spies Sakura packing a bag for him also noticing that she had dressed in darker colors and decides that maybe it wouldn't be so bad at least he wouldn't be noticed right away "Ok Naruto onward to Sasuke's" Sakura turns handing Naruto the bag and grabbing his hand after he had put it on dashes out of his apartment locking the door and down into the street for the second time that morning.
Locating Sasuke's chakra was easy it's not like the guy knew how to mask it like she could Sakura thought smugly it was getting into his apartment that wasn't and Sakura was not happy so banging on his door sounded like a good idea "Oyyyyyyyyy Sasuke-teme wake the hell up" Naruto added to her loud noise and sure enough a few moments later the door opens with Sasuke glaring at them "What the hell do you two want at 3 in the morning" he snaps grinding his teeth together in agitation.
"Did you just so happen to forget that we have team training at 4 baka" Sakura asks unaffected by the glare and stomps past him shoving a bag of darker blue bordering on black clothes in his arms "Go get dressed in those" Sakura orders not even turning around to see if he was doing as told before doing what she had done for Naruto and packing a bag of ninja gear finished in record time she turns back around expecting to see Sasuke dressed in the new clothes only to growl in frustration when he was still standing where she had left him.
Pointing at what she thought was the bathroom Sakura snaps "Do not question just go put those on" tapping her foot impatiently he finally slowly moves towards the bathroom and after a few minutes appears sulking wearing the new clothes not happy that he had been ordered around "Now lets go" Sakura rushes out of Sasukes apartment dragging the two with her before doing the same as yesterday and appearing at the training ground they had been told to meet at she turns around and thrusts an apple and bottle of water at the two boys telling them to eat.
Munching her own apple and sipping on her water she notes the time at 3:35 they had made it with time to spare 'Thank god I thought Sasuke was never gonna put those clothes on' Inner grumbles before Sakura tunes her out noticing that all of them were done she grabs the trash and stores it in a scroll drawing a gasp of awe from Naruto "I'll teach you later" she promises before stowing the scroll back in her pack and 5 minutes later a sound they were fast becoming familiar with alerts their ears.
"Those brats won't know what hit them" Anko snickers not having noticed that her students were already there she turns ready to set up her trap only to stop in shock "What the hell are you three doing here at 3:50 in the damn morning" Anko snaps furious that her plan had been sabotaged "You told us to meet you here at 4:00am Sensei" Sakura answers forever the peace maker "Why you cheeky little brat" Anko says throwing her head back and laughing loudly causing one of her male students to take a step back and the other had grown a backbone.
"When I told you to meet me at that time I didn't expect you to actually do as told in fact I wasn't expecting you three to show up until around 7" Anko admits grinning at them Sakura smiles sheepishly throwing her hands up in the air when Sasuke glares at her "Well since you guys arrived way to early how about just a standard training session Naruto vs Sasuke and me against little Sakura" Anko proposes since her intitial plan had been destroyed by her 3 little genins "I'm ready Anko-sensei" Sakura smiles getting into her stance.
Several hours later 3 teens fall onto the ground sweating, bleeding most likely bruised and aching everywhere while Anko stays standing smirking "If that's how you fare just 9 hours of training I think you kids are gonna make it" Anko announces proudly "Now you three just go get yourselves cleaned up and I'll treat you to some dango and tea" Anko says which motivates two of her students meaning Naruto and Sakura even though Naruto would rather have ramen dango was ok in his books.
Staring down the black-haired brat Anko squats down next to him "You just gonna sit there all day or sulk because a girl kicked your ass in training" Anko raises an eyebrow when the boy flinches away from her "Oh come on Uchiha what are you so afraid of" she smiles and if Naruto and Sakura could tell that it was a fake one so could Sasuke as he scoots further away from their sensei "Get away from me" he breathes shooting up and ignoring his pains runs away as fast as possible.
"I've never seen him run that fast before especially not when Ino or his fangirls are chasing him" Sakura laughs causing Naruto to laugh along with her and Anko to stare at them in amusement "Come on you two I'm still treating you to dango and tea after you get cleaned up anyway" Anko orders before poofing away leaving Naruto and Sakura behind "I hate it when she does that" Naruto pouts trailing behind Sakura who leads him back to his apartment "It's just something we are gonna have to get over" Sakura smiles.
Cleaning up his cuts after he had showered Sakura does the same not afraid that Naruto would peek at her because she knew he wouldn't once they are all clean and wearing another set of clothes this time their regular outfits they set out towards the only tea shop they could think of that sold dango's walking slowly so not to aggravate the cuts they make small talk before they finally arrive at the shop stepping through the curtain they enter the shop only to find it in utter chaos.
