Happy Holidays everyone, Poke'boy24 here with a new Story I've adopted from Chillman22 The Maelstrom of The Jungle and wanted to try it out for the past few years but I was still figuring this site out.

Anyway, special thanks to them for letting adopt this challenge now here is the summary.

Summary: Baby Naruto was kidnapped and thrown into an unknown Jungle by people who wanted him dead, but those who were hoping he died were in for a big surprise as he's still alive as well stronger and primal.

Rated M for Violence, Bashing, Lemons, and Naruto x Harem

I DON'T own Naruto, Tarzan, Jungle Book, or any other related Series that may or may not appear as each one belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, Disney, and the People who had worked very hard to make them so without further delay, I welcome all of you to Jungle Maelstrom!

/ / / / /

/ / /(Ch 1: Fox of the Jungle)/ / /

Far out in the Land of Seas there was an uncharted Island covered with lush and dense vegetation and exotic animals as this unknown landmass was a strange and mysterious place, while the Ninjas of the Elemental Nation knew not to enter the place because of the mysterious disappearances, but currently there was one Ninja that needed to enter the Jungle of this large Island, which is big enough to be called a Continent by itself, while the Ninja was scared, he knew that the best way to get his Mission completed was close in hand.

Currently he was standing over a waterfall as he was holding a wrapped-up bundle as he was getting ready to drop it down into the depth of the falls "Sorry kid, but I was paid good money to end your life. But since I don't like killing children this is the next best thing so good luck out there because you're going to need it." He said looking at the bundle before dropping it over the waterfall as a high pitch whine was heard before slowly silencing.

With his Mission completed, the Man quickly made his escape from this cursed Jungle never to be seen again.

/ / /

What he didn't know was another set of eyes were watching him from the view of the Jungle's canopy just below the waterfall before moving from its coverage after the man vanished revealing that the eyes belonged to a female Gorilla as she made her way towards the end of the waterfall and what she saw would shock any creature.

Laying on the edge of the riverbank was a baby Blonde haired boy with whisker-like birthmarks on his face as he was somehow still alive after being thrown from the massive height of the waterfall as he continued to cry and whine.

The Gorilla, having just lost her Mate and Baby, did something that any mother would do for a lost child she took the boy with her to raise him herself and be his new family.

/ / /(16 Years later)/ / /

It has now been 16 years since the Gorilla took the Blond in as he had long learned the ways of the Jungle from how to find food in places, like the grub he just ate, as well as finding fruits for his friends as he had grown into a find young Teenager as his hair was long and shaggy with messy bhangs sometimes hiding his beautiful Blue eyes as his body, due to his upbringing, was now lean and muscular as he was now built for speed and strength after years of learning from the Monkeys that travel through the Jungle on vines and/or the trees themselves.

Not only that but his reflexes are so highly tuned that he caught a snake just before it fangs could pierce his skin, but he learned more than just survival, he'd also learned compassion as well like to never strike at anything out of anger since all the animals living here only wish to find their next meal and survive.

But now it would seem that something new was in the area since he was now hearing voices of an animal he never heard before deciding to investigate not knowing that due to his life in the Jungle, his Chakra has become a part of nature itself like a spiritual camouflage to hide him from others before his eyes landed upon a strange sight as there were a few tents around a clearing with five strange creatures hanging around though only one of them had caught his eye as he hears the voices having a conversation.

/ / /

At the moment a Girl with Pink hair was being hugged by a Man with the same hair color, only duller due to age. "Sakura it's been so long and look at how much you've grown! And look at that, you've finally became a Ninja, darling I am so proud of you!" the Man said in a proud tone as he embraced the Girl closer.

The Pinkette known as Sakura smiled as she returns the Man's hug. "I know Oto-san it's really has been a long time and thank you for the support. Though Oka-san wasn't too pleased about me becoming a ninja." Sakura said though the mention of her Mother caused the man, now revealed to be her Father, to wince at the thought.

Before Sakura's Father could reply, a Silver haired Man wearing a Mask that covered almost his entire face steps forward to quickly change the subject after seeing him wince at the mention of his wife. "So Kizashi-san, how's the research going? Have you made any progress on why people seem to be vanishing in this area?" The Man questioned since there had been many sudden disappearances of people from their home.

The now identified Kizashi was thankful to the Man for changing the subject as he started to answer his questions. "Well, Kakashi, from what I understand, it's mostly because people have been-" he said but was interrupted.

KA-BOOOOOMMM! ! !~

Suddenly an explosion erupted causing the two men to turn their attention towards the last two as both of them were Male Teens with pale skin-tones and Black hair as one of them was holding a kunai while the other just had a fake smile as they looked towards the older men and girl. "Disrespectful to the Jungle." the one holding the kunai and hair style like a Duck's butt finished with a mocking tone revealing that he was the cause for the explosion

Seeing this Kakashi began questioning them "Sasuke, what seems to be the problem that you would use an Exploding-tag before we get any information into how to survive this Jungle!" he ordered wanting the know the cause for the younger Teen's action.

The now identified Sasuke just scoffs before answering the Masked-man's question. "I saw movement in the trees since it could have been enemy Ninjas getting ready to attack us." He stated crossing his arms because what they don't know was a certain long haired Blond Teen had just managed to escape the blast area before it blew.

At this point the fake smiling Teen spoke up, "And I was trying to explain to micro-dick here that it's a Jungle since there are and/or were bound to be animals around. But if there was any enemy Shinobis around, we would've been able to detect them. Though I doubt it because of the legends keeping people away, but he threw the note before I could use logic." He said while mocking his teammate's size and lack of intelligence.

At this Sasuke glared at the fake smiling teen while a vein bulged on his forehead. "SHUT UP SAI-BAKA, Sasuke-kun was just doing it to protect us since our mission is to gather the progress report and make sure nothing dangerous happens~" Sakura stated at she socked the revealed Sai in the face while turning back towards her crush lovingly hoping he saw how she defended his pride and manhood.

Knowing that a fight was going to break out, Kakashi quickly got their attention. "Alright you three, let's get ourselves settled into our tents and tomorrow, if Kizashi-san feels up to it, we can explore the area with him being our guide, if that's alright Kizashi-san." He asks the Pink haired Man with an eye-smile.

"I would be fine with that Kakashi but remember to stay close so none of you disappear as well." Kazashi replies in agreement while telling them to stick together and stay with him since it's very easy to get lost in the Jungle since he doesn't want to lose his daughter before heading back to Camp to rest for the night.

As they were walking, Sakura moved closer next to her father since it's been a long time since they last saw each other. "So, Oto-san, how's life been for you in the Jungle? Made any discoveries or breakthroughs yet? Also, when are you coming home since I've really missed having you around and cracking your lame jokes." She asked wondering when he'll ever return home since he'd been away for years since her Parents gotten divorced.

Kizashi knew she was going to bring that topic up, but he couldn't help but point out first, "You really thought my jokes were lame!?" he exclaimed with a hurt expression on his face that he couldn't believe that his own flesh and blood would think that of him.

Seeing that he was trying to avoid the topic, Sakura just gave him a sharp look. "You're my father, anything you do is lame." she stated even though she had a slight smirk on her lips since she did miss him.

This caused her Father to release a chuckle before he became slightly upset at what he was going to tell his daughter since she was too smart so he couldn't really hide anything from her, even more so since she's now a Ninja as her training was bound to teach her how to read people and see through lies though what he didn't know was that his daughter was more focused on Sasuke than actual training because of his time in the jungle.

"I'm sorry Sakura-chan, but I can't return home, not after what your Mother did." Kizashi replied with an upset expression on his face.

Hearing her father say such a thing caused her to look at him. "What do you mean Oto-san what did Oka-san even do?" she asked giving her Father a stern leer wanting to know just why her parents got divorce in the first place.

Her father released a sigh, "Sakura-chan, 16 years ago when you were being baby sat by Lady Tsunade's assistance she was also watching over another Baby, a Boy, and she said you accidently tumbled down the stairs and hurt yourself your Mother got the wrong idea thinking that the Boy was the one that hurt you so she hired a Ninja from outside the Village to take the boy away believing that because he was an orphan than no one would care about it, but the Hokage did care about it as she had ANBU running around trying to find him but sadly there was no luck and as punishment, your Mother had to be under house arrest for Three years due to being on the Council, while I became disappointed at what she did, so I left using the excuse to come here and figure out why people were vanishing." Kizashi explained with a sad look since it turned out the Orphan was really Tsunade's Godson, and she would've personally beat his wife to a bloody pulp if it wasn't for Lord Third before he retired.

Hearing what her father was saying, Sakura couldn't handle it since all this time she thought her father was just on a long-term Mission to find out what was going on in this Jungle and that alone would've been the reason they split but it turned out that her Mother had a hand in ending a possible friendship. "W-What was the Boy's name?" she asked while trying to deny the fact her Mother have caused someone else's child to disappear.

"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Son of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and heir of Clan head Kushina Uzumaki." He solemnly said as his daughter saw the look on his face, along with the look on her Sensei's, even though it was covered with a mask, she can tell he was upset as well.

Being who she was, Sakura did the one thing her panicked mind could think of as she ran deep into the jungle.

""Sakura, sweetie come back!/Sakura get back here this instance!"" both her Father and Sensei tried to call her back as Kakashi wanted to race after her, but Kizashi stopped him due to the Jungle's energy that if they split up, then they would be looking for more missing people instead of just one.

"Sasuke, Sai, keep your eyes peel for when Sakura returns." Kakashi reluctantly said as he decided to stay with the group as Sakura had vanished before their eyes.

'Good riddance to that annoyance.' The Uchiha thought as he didn't care since the Pinkette's leaving would mean one less thing to worry about while Sai just didn't care at all because of his ROOT training.

What the group never knew was that the Blond Ape-man saw the whole thing as he began chasing after the Pinkette.

/ / /

Deep within the Jungle, Sakura was now resting against a boulder as she didn't know where she was or cared at the moment since she'd just found out that her Mother and Father had lied about the reason why they divorced and why he was in this Jungle in the first place as well the fact her Mother was the cause of possibly ending a child's life.

After taking a few minutes to finally calm down, she noticed that she was now lost. "If I'm even going to get out of this Jungle, I'm going to return home and have a serious talk about what Ka-san did to Naruto-GAH!" the Pinkette started before crying out as she suddenly felt a striking pain in her arm as she quickly looked down to see that a Snake had bit her as she tried to get it off back began to stumble and lose her footing since she could feel the venom pumping through her bloodstream, "Oh geez~ T-That's not g-good~" she groaned feeling her vision starting to blur as her head felt dizzy as she struggled to take a few steps before collapsing as what appeared to be a Blond Ape crouch before her making Ape-like grunts and noises. "Okay, now it's even worse!~" she irritated groan thinking the venom was causing her to see things as she tried changing direction but everywhere she turned the Blond would appear making ape noises at her, "S-Stop b-being so~ annoying~…" she said before falling onto the floor and pass out as the venom took full effect.

Seeing Sakura fall, the Blond moved closer where he noticed the bite mark on her arm as he brought her arm to his mouth and quickly began sucking and spitting the venom out of her system.

Kra-Baa-boom~

Though before he could continue, he looks towards the sky hearing the sound of thunder to see storm clouds rolling above as he quickly picked her up before moving to takes her somewhere else before the storm hits.

/ / /

It would seem that learning from the Animals allowed him to tell when it was going to rain as well finding shelter since at the moment the Blond had carried the Kunoichi into a cave while the storm poured outside as he continued to remove the venom in her system as he began picking and chewing on some leaves until they were turned into a paste before rubbing it onto the snake bite which soon stopped the venom from spreading but that didn't stop the Pinkette from shaking because of the cold as he pressed his body against hers as they began sleeping for the night before taking her back to her camp in the morning.

Feeling the warmth of another body pressed against her, Sakura cracked her eyes open, but her vision was still blurry though she could clearly see that she was in the muscular arms of a Man as she turned her head slightly to see a messy mop of Sun-kissed-blond hair. "L-Lord F-Fourth?~…" she whispered before falling back to sleep with a slight blush on her face.

/ / /

Morning has soon arrived at the Camp as Kizashi was sitting in his chair worried about his daughter as he and the Ninja team spent nearly all night trying to find her only to have no luck. "This is all my fault, if only I hadn't left." He said to himself in dismay before the sounds of rustling broke him from his thoughts as he lifts his head up to see someone walking out of the growth who was soon revealed to be Sakura herself though she seems to be walking on wobbly legs. "Sakura… Sakura you're alright!" the Pink haired Man exclaimed seeing his daughter returned safe and sound as he rushes to hug her as her team arrived at the scene.

"Oto-san, Kakashi-sensei, I'm terribly sorry for running off like that." Sakura apologized for running away as her father helped her into his chair.

"You should be Sakura since this Jungle is completely unknown and as a Ninja of our Village you need to have better control over your emotions." Kakashi said reprimanding her about how Ninjas needed to keep a leveled head even if he was just glad, she returned safe as well.

Pushing herself back onto her feet she tried to approach Sasuke seeing that he was angry. "You should've just died in that Jungle like the worthless person you are since clearly you are too weak to even be a on this team since the only worth you have is being bait for whatever Beasts lives here." He stated glaring hatefully at her while telling her that she should've just died in the Jungle since the only thing she's good for was live bait for some animal.

Hearing what the last Uchiha was saying had upset her as she felt her heart shattering while tears seep within her eyes making her realize that her crush had never really cared about anyone but himself.

Though because of Sasuke's sour look as well his attitude has caused some of the wildlife to throw fruit at him, causing him to get even angrier before storming off since a prideful Uchiha like him doesn't waste Jutsus on lowly Animals since burning this stupid Jungle would prevent him from reaching his goal before a Bird pooped on his head as he tried throwing a Shuriken to kill it only for it to fly away.

Seeing the antics of the Monkeys brought a little bit of a smile to Sakura's face since it felt like they wanted to get back at him for her. "Okay everyone, pack up your supplies since we're heading home so Sakura can get proper treatment." Kakashi called since due to her weakened state they had to return to Konoha with Cyclops Sensei carried her onto his back to make sure the venom was out of her system along with her Father since it'll allow him to make sure his daughter is cared for as well to report to the Hokage about his progress and possibly try and talk things out with his wife.

As they headed back to camp Sakura looked at the bandages on her arm where the snake bit her as she thought of something. "Kakashi-sensei, I think I'd like to try being a Medic so things like this won't happen again." She said as this surprised her Sensei, but he was more than pleased with what she said because maybe Sasuke telling her off was the best thing to break her out of her Fan-girl mode.

What nobody noticed was the bandages around her arm fell off as they floated into the air allowing a certain Blond Ape-man to grab it as he looks at the gift left by the Pinkette while hanging from a tree branch as he watched them leave. "S-Sa-kura-chan." He said with a smile on his face he swings back to his place in the trees while having millions of questions running through his head as his Gorilla friends tried to cheer him up but for some reason he just wasn't in the mood.

Suddenly a colorful Bird of prey flew in and landed on his knee allowing him to stroke it before flying off again cawing almost like it was telling him to follow it as he did so.

/ / /

As the Blond climbed after the Bird he stopped as he came across a strange sight as a skeleton in rags was trapped in roots as it caused him to jump back slightly in fear before noticing in its hand was a strange black shape before taking the strange thing as he began feeling its cold hard surface until wincing as it slightly cut his finger as it made him realize just how sharp it was before turning his attention back towards the skeleton again as he sees some sort of strange rock in the other hand before taking it also as he couldn't help but marvel at the rock's glass-like texture as he moved towards the Sun with it suddenly gain an Orange shine to it.

Seeing the Orange reflection made him smile before putting the rock away as he couldn't help but remember something about what the Pink haired Man and Girl were saying as he couldn't quite understand them but still managed to pick up a few bits and pieces such as. "Na-ruto…" he repeated because somehow that name seemed to hit him more than anything else.

Leaving the skeleton, he arrived at a stream as he began looking at his own refection since he always felt like he was different than the others in his family while it is obvious that he was different he didn't feel different from the Gorillas but deep down he knew he was. Shaking his head, the animal-like teen smacked the water and rushed away to his tree house he built when he wanted to be alone as he decided to leave things be for now but couldn't take his mind off of the Pink-haired girl he helped recently along with hanging her bandage over a branch.

/ / /

A few days had passed and while the group had managed to return to their home Village Konoha, Sasuke was annoyed since he was having to grudgingly carry Kizashi because of him being a civilian, and when they entered the village, Kizashi stayed close to Sakura to make sure she was alright as the Father/Daughter duo headed for the Hospital to have a checkup for both of them with Sakura because of the Snake venom and for her Father for being away from Konoha for so long.

Once the Pinkette's examination started, the Doctors noticed the residue of a herb-like paste that was on her arm where the Snake had bit her as whatever the paste was made from had neutralized the venom along with giving her antibodies against it as her Father was grateful and pleased about his daughter's safety.

After leaving the Hospital they then moved to the Hokage's Office with the secretary allowing them into the office where they see sitting behind the desk was the 5th Hokage, Tsunade Senju, where she was surprised to see that Sakura's father had returned. "Well, Kizashi-san, this is a pleasant surprise since I didn't think you'd ever return after what happened." She said as there was still some hatred in her voice from what his Wife did to her Godson.

While Kizashi knows that his Village's leader was being honest, he also knew that she wanted him to report about what happened to make him return. "It's only for a short while Hokage-Sama, at least until I know Sakura is alright and to see if anything has changed between my Wife and her ideals on her past." He said hoping that those years apart might had changed his Ex's opinion after what happened back then.

Hearing that something had happened to one of her Ninjas, Tsunade then asked for a report on what happened, which surprised her that Kizashi had told Sakura about what happened to Naruto, though she was thankful that the Man thought up a half-truth about her Godchild instead of the whole truth about Mebuki hating him for the Kyuubi sealed inside him as well her hatred towards Kushina for stealing Minato from her and hiring another Ninja to get rid of him that she wanted to kill Mebuki for such an act, but couldn't since her Sensei and 3rd Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi at the time put her under house arrest as well removing her seat from the Council for such an act.

Now that she was Hokage she would've locked her up for a number of years then execute her for such a crime, but that Woman still had some sway with the Council, before she lost it all by being removed and placed under house arrest, it still wouldn't change a thing since the poor Boy was gone.

With all her thoughts were happening in just a second, and since she needed to stay ahead of the Council in cased they tried anything "I see, Haruno-san, please tell us what happened after you ran into the Jungle." The busty Blonde asked in her professional tone as she stared at the Pink-haired Genin.

Knowing she was under orders, Sakura began explaining what happened. "Yes Hokage-sama, after hearing that I was the cause of Naruto being taken away I just couldn't handle the information causing me to run from the group in an emotional turmoil while wanting to clear my head." she said since she blamed herself for the loss of the 4th Hokage's child causing both the Senju Woman and her Father frowned at this.

"Sakura it wasn't your fault, your Oka-san was just far too overprotective of you that she hired the outsider to get rid of Naruto so please don't blame yourself since it was no fault of your own." Kizashi stated since he didn't want her to shoulder the blame for what her Mother did.

Tsunade nodded her head in agreement. "Your Oto-san is right Haruno-san since you were just a baby at the time but unfortunately your Oka-san saw things differently so please, if anyone is to blame it is both your Oka-san for hiring the Ninja, and myself for letting it happen under my nose since me and Shizune were in a council meeting so I couldn't stop it from happening." She stated since she couldn't make Mebuki pay for taking away the last family member she had, she was able to take all her rage out on the Ninja she hired.

While the group understood that the Hokage still being upset for such a thing to happen, Sasuke just didn't care while Sai... was just being Sai.

After clearing her thoughts, Tsunade looks towards the Pinkette. "Anyway, please continue Haruno-san." She asked allowing the Genin to continue where she left off.

Nodding to her leader she continued. "After a short run I found myself leaning next to a boulder in exhaustion since my mind was a whirlwind of thoughts but before I could think about them, I gotten bit by a Snake as I could feel the venom entering my system since I could feel my head swimming before my eyes a strange Blond my age with messy shoulder length hair with deep Blue eyes and whisker marks jumped in front of me out of nowhere wearing only a Loincloth but I guess the venom was making me see things since he looked a lot like Lord Fourth as I tried to return to the others but the hallucination got worse because everywhere I looked he appeared right in front of me again." She said explaining what the venom had made her see before blushing slightly as she recalled the feeling of his muscles against her body.

At the mentioned of the deceased Namikaze caused both Tsunade and Kakashi's eyes to widen while Kizashi stepped in and leaned towards his daughter "Deep Blue eyes? Should I be worried Sakura-chan~" He couldn't help but tease, causing his daughter to blush as pink as her hair and push him away.

"OTO-SAN! ! !" she screeched in embarrassment as her reaction caused the Adults in the room to chuckle while Sasuke and Sai weren't too bothered since they didn't really care. Clearing her throat to get things on track, she continued. "Anyway, before I knew it I blacked out but the next day I woke up with some chewed up leaves over the bite mark and feeling better though I still felt weak from what happened but I could see that the camp was close by so I walked towards it and that's when I saw Oto-san was sitting by the burned out campfire and after I felt a little better I tried to see if Sas-my team was worried about me but it turned out that they just didn't care." She said catching her slight slip-up causing the Adults to raise an eyebrow since they knew she was talking about Sasuke as they were giving the Uchiha a meaningful look with Kakashi planning to beat his rules about those who break the rules in his next training session. "Anyway Hokage-sama, I realized just how weak I am so I ask for myself if I can become a Medic-nin since I don't want to feel as weak as I did like in the jungle." She requested since her experience from the Jungle had made her see her flaws as a Kunoichi.

Hearing Sakura ask such a thing brought a smile to the Adults faces as Tsunade quickly drew a serious look onto her face while bringing her hands together as her fingers interlaced as she gave her a serious look. "Are you sure Haruno-san? The road to being a Medic-nin isn't an easy one and isn't for those with a weak will or heart as it is difficult and would require hard work and dedication." She stated having seen her own fair share of success and failures as a Medic-nin where she failed to save those closest to her.

Sakura knew that if she truly wanted to be a better person and Ninja than she would have to force herself into becoming stronger. "I'm sure Hokage-sama, I want to be stronger." She insisted since she doesn't want to be the weakest link of her team.

Kizashi then placed a supporting hand on her shoulder. "Are you positive about this Sakura-chan, because that would mean having to stop dieting and buying any products from here on out." He asked since his daughter's body told him that she had been focusing on trying the gain the Uchiha Heir's attention so she's behind her teammates by a grand margin.

This caused Sakura to blush since she really had been dieting throughout her time in the Academy and though it pains her to admit that if her Father, who she hasn't seen in over nine years, could tell she was dieting then that would mean her body wasn't in the greatest of shape. "I KNOW THAT NOW OTO-SAN! But don't go saying that in front of everyone! Geez!" she snapped back at her Father since she was underdeveloped since her chest and rear areas were still very petite compared to the other Girls her age.

Tsunade coughed getting their attention as she added her own input. "Actually Haruno-san it's a well-known fact that while a Civilian can go on a diet, it could be disastrous for a Ninja since a diet would mean that they couldn't exercise right and could make them weaker since a Ninja needs to eat the right amount of calories to give them the energy. Also, if they want to retain their figure, maybe even make it better, they can burn off the excess fat and calories through exercise and training." She explained since seeing Sakura finally taking the right approach reminded her of herself when she was a Genin.

At this Sakura hanged her head in shame because if she had just asked one of the Teachers at the Academy what the right diet for a Ninja was instead of listening to her Mother about keeping her figure to attract Sasuke, then she wouldn't have ended up as a weakest from their class even if she had the title of Kunoichi of the Year.

Seeing how downtrodden the Pinkette was, the Female Kage wrote down on a piece of paper before she passed it to her. "Here Haruno-san, take this note to the address written on it and this person will help you in the right way for a proper diet. Though, I should warn you to be mindful since she is a bit... extreme." She instructed since the person she had in mind has some… unique methods.

Taking the note, Sakura read the address and bowed towards the Hokage in gratitude before taking off leaving her Father confused "Hokage-sama, what was written on the note and who did you send my daughter to in order to help her?" Kizashi asked wondering who the Senju had in mind and if he should feel worried.

Hearing the concern in the Father's voice, she answered "As much as I wanted to send Sakura-san to my student Shizune, she's unfortunately away from the Village until I can call her back in order for her to not only train Sakura-san, but possibly the next batch of medic-Nins for each team since it would be beneficial for the Village in the long run. But for now, as much as I don't want to, I have no choice but to send her to Anko for proper training and dieting as I also forbid her from feeding any Dango to your daughter since she needs a proper diet that a Kunoichi truly needs as well doesn't pick up any bad habits." She explained trying to calm Kizashi only to make him worry since he'd heard how Anko was with people as he just hopes that his daughter doesn't do anything to make the unpredictable Snake-user angry. "If you're feeling that worried, I'll also have Kurenai to keep an eye on the both of them since she's the only one who can keep Anko in check." She assured since those two Women have a very close bond which allowed the Pink haired Man to relax a little.

Hearing this, Kakashi stepped forward. "Hokage-sama, do you think it's wise to allow another person to train one of my students?" He asked though he wasn't questioning Konoha Leader's orders, just being curious and cautious at the possible backlash.

Tsunade turned her attention to the Jonin Sensei as she nods her head at his questioning. "I understand your concern Kakashi, but this is for the best since it will benefit not only Sakura, but Anko and Kurenai as well since Kurenai can't fully train her students because they each are from a Clan with their own training methods. This way Sakura can have some Genjutsu in her arsenal as well as proper training for her mind where Anko can work on her Taijutsu as well work on her body as this might hopefully bring her a proper balance as both a Ninja and a Kunoichi. But now you can focus on one student in particular to what it means to be a true Ninja of Konoha." She stated with a slight strain in her voice near the end.

Understanding what his Hokage was saying, Kakashi knew he needed to make Sasuke fully embrace Konoha's true strength of being teammates and to never leave a comrade behind no matter what knowing that he couldn't slack off anymore as he was ready to make the last Uchiha see things Konoha's way even if he has to knock him of his high horse to do so.

As for Sai, there really wasn't a need for him to train since he already had previous training from Danzo, since his mission is to make sure Sasuke wasn't a flight risk, but if Kakashi was planning to beat the risk out of him, then that would mean Sai would have no worries about his Mission and can focus on his paintings since seeing the Jungle of the Continent was quite an inspirational sight as he couldn't put it into words how beautiful the place was so he decided that he'll try and put it onto a canvas and if he couldn't then he'll keep trying even though he felt a slight tingle of fear up his spine at how he thought he sounded a little like Guy since no amount of training from Danzo could truly stop the fear of someone as youthful as the Green Beast of Konoha.

With that, the group was excused with Tsunade sending two ANBU's to tell Kurenai and Anko about the changes in Sakura's training and with that done she stood up from her desk and looked out towards the Village with a sad smile, "Even when you're not here, you're still inspiring others to better themselves, aren't you Naruto-kun." At saying her surrogate grandson's name, a slight tear escaped the Woman's eye since she truly missed the little Blond ball of sunshine.

But for now, she needs to focus on making things right in Konoha, feeling that she had enough time to grieve over her lose, and hopefully make sure that her home will change for the better.

And finally, the first chapter is up as I've decided to change a few things from the Original but will try to stay true to the plot since next Chapter Sakura will be talking to the rest of the Rookie Twelve Girls about her hallucination as well training so she can return to the Jungle and bring the Blond home.

Also, I have a Poll on my Bio so please vote if you haven't let as I wish you all a happy and safe Holiday and I'll see you all next year with more Chapters and Stories!
