When you're born you have the five senses. Touch, taste, hear, smell, and SEE. But the thing is...Sakura couldn't see since birth.

There are a couple solutions to get around mobility. You either get a ninken, use a cane, or in Sakura's case; she was a sensor.

Along with being a sensor, staying bare foot helped detect people and other objects through vibrations.

The Haruno couple were afraid of the pinkette becoming a ninja and studying at the academy because she was different.

Sakura was bullied she was called names like 'forehead girl' and 'pinky.' Although it all went over her head because she did not know what she looked like.

Although, one good thing that came out of bullying was a forged friendship with a vivacious young blond named Ino Yamanaka.

"Forehead, forehead, forehead!"

The chants became louder and encircled the poor girl.

'Knock it off Ami! Take your nasty squad and buzz off."

"Why you-!"

Mizuki-sensei stepped in.

"Girls get back to class or you'll be running more laps during taijutsu practice."

They all chorused. "Hai, sensei."

Secretly, Sakura was jealous of the others. The understood what it meant to be beautiful. They could read, write, ride a bike, and could see colors. It was all taken for granted and it filled the rose haired girl with bitterness.

Graduation was approaching and they'd all be placed on three man teams. Which meant she'd be separated from her best and only friend Ino. The one who truly understood her struggles.

Sakura loathed being home because that meant being coddled by her parents. In a way she resented them. They only thought of her as weak and fragile because she was blind. And that's all the more reasons to become a ninja. They never truly accepted her career path. Wanted the pinkette to stay a civilian on disability.

No, no, and no thank you very much. Civilian life style sounded so boring. Sakura craved adventure and wanted to become a powerful ninja. It was her destiny after all.

So the library was a safe haven for the young petal when home wasn't an option. They had extended hours, plenty of books in braille to research, shelter from the weather, and a surplus of seating.

When the library was at its closing hour Sakura would just climb through her window and into bed.

Graduation day

'Please be on a team with Ino- Please be on a team with Ino. I need her'

Team 7 will be:

" Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha." The loud blonde cheered then screeched.

"Why do I have do be on a team with, teme, sensei?!"

Iruka gave him a pointed look and continued on. Team 10 will be "Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akamichi."

"Team 8 will be Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, and Kiba Inuzuka."

Sakura loathed her teammates already they were already arguing and she wanted no part of it and on top of that their sensei was thirty minutes late, but who's counting?

Then the presence. She could feel her sensei coming at a fast pace. Who else could it be?

Naruto burst out laughing suddenly. "Haha sensei, you fell for it!"

Sakura had no idea what Naruto had done but she had an inkling. He was known prankster. At times like these, Sakura wished she could see exactly what Naruto had done so she could see the look on their sensei's face.

"Hmm..My first impression of you three..I hate you. Meet me on the roof for introductions."

He was gone in a poof of smoke

Sakura expanded her sensory net and could sense him on the roof. Right where he said he'd be.

"Alright, introductions, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dreams, you first blondy"

"Ne, what about you sensei?"

"Me? Alright, My name is Kakashi Hatake I have dislikes and likes..hobbies..and dreams. But that's not important"

All we got was his name.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I like playing pranks, ramen, and I dislike the time it takes for the water to boil for cup ramen, and my dream is become hokage, dattebayo!."

"You next pinky."

"Uh, my name is Sakura Haruno, and I was born blind. My dream is be a strong shinobi and prove to everyone that I'm not just fragile and weak. I like reading and studying medical ninjutsu."

"Finally, dark and broody."

"The name's Sasuke Uchiha. I don't have any likes or dislikes. And I have goal to kill a certain man..."

"Good, you're all unique. Tomorrow we'll be meeting at training ground 44 at 5 AM for survival training. And don't eat or you'll puke."

He vanished once again leaving team 7 gaping like fish on the roof top of the academy. However, Sakura being a sensor knew exactly where everyone was in the village at all times. It was hard to focus at times because normal sensors didn't have her range. Kakashi was by the memorial stone once again. She could feel the Hokage up in the tower, the staff at ichiraku ramen, all the way to Izumo and kotetsu by the gate's check in. No wonder she didn't have an aneurysm. No one could hide from her and so it was her cue to leave and go prepare for tomorrow's events.
