AN: This is my first story so constructive criticism and feedback is welcome! I am also writing this on the app so I apologise for any grammatical errors in advance. so without further ado, Naruto's Cherry Assassin.

Chapter One: Her True Self

Sakura Haruno was a complex creature. For years, she had to keep up a facade of the loud, boisterous fan girl of one Sasuke Uchiha, even though she knew that he had the emotional range of a dead rat decomposing in the sewer. But she had to. Her and her mother's safety depended on it. Her "father", she hated that bastard, would threaten her if she wouldn't obey. As Kisashi Haruno was on the loathed Civilian Council, he was nigh untouchable, and would make her life, and the life of the ones she truly cared for, more than just a living hell, he would make it a nightmare. Including that of the one she really had a crush on, or as her sperm donor liked to call him, "The Demon Brat".

Now she wasn't dumb. In fact, the only thing she was greatfull for from her old man, was the fact that she wasn't allowed to fail in her studies or training. She knew, after putting the pieces together, that the only reason her true crush, she wouldn't call him her "true love" just yet, was discriminated against was because of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the nine-tailed monster that ravaged Konohagakure fifteen years ago. She doesn't know where this fits in, but what she does know is that her father and his "colleagues" consider him less than human. And for her, that was a perk to pissing off her daddy dearest when she ended up graduating, but not why she felt the way she did. His determination, his hidden intellect, and his sense of justice. His sunny smile, his silky blonde hair, his deep blue eyes. Uh-oh, she was drooling again. Oh, Ino-pig was talking to her.

"Hey, Forehead! Are you even listening to me?!"

"No, piggy, I'm not" Sakura answered honestly.

"WHAT?!" Ino screamed, offended.

"Damnit, do you have a mute button? That was louder than my stupid fake squeals" Sakura asked, picking her ear with her pinky. Ino of course, as her best friend, knew of Sakura's "mask" as she called it. She also helped Sakura do a little research on anyone with the Uzumaki name, so she can help her if her Naruto ever wanted to know anything about his family.

"Well excuse me, I thought you would have liked to start looking at Uchiha-teme, so that the spy for your douche dad doesn't get suspicious." Ino stated, just as said bastard walked into the classroom of the "prestigious" Konoha Shinobi Academy.

On the surface, Sasuke Uchiha, looked tall, dark, and handsome, and to most of the class' female population, that was enough, yeah they were that shallow. But to three particular girls, he wasn't all that. This same opinion was shared by the boys of the class, including one Naruto Uzumaki.

He walked in with a swagger he didn't possess at all, with a brooding scowl that never seemed to leave his face, and dark, unfeeling eyes that held no emotion. He was the poster boy for douchebag emos and spoiled brats, thinking his name alone is enough for him to get along in life on his path to "vengeance" against his vastly superior brother Itachi. However, Sakura, and by extension Ino, knew he was in for a rather rude awakening when he graduates two weeks from now. And, since then they would be free of the suffocating grip of their parents (Ino's mother being a much, much kinder version of Sakura's bastard baby baker), they would be there to laugh in his face when he fell flat against a real opponent. Like Naruto, if he ever stopped holding back.

Iruka Umino, their teacher for the past few years, walked in, interupting Sakura's internal monologue of her life, and started class.

"Good Morning, class" he said as he set his papers down on his desk.

"Good Morning, Sensei" came the respnse.

Oh well, Sakura thought, Might as well get today over with. she got out her supplies and started to take notes on Iruka's lecture.

A/N: So a few things about this story

1. Graduation age is 15, not 12-13

2. Sakura HATES Sasuke Uchiha, as a way to spite her abusive father, who I know isn't that way in canon, but its fanfiction, I'll do what I want

3. So does Ino, but only because of her friendship with Sakura, which neither of them never ended, caused her to open her eyes

4. I like badass Hinata, not the shy, meek, introverted Hinata. So in my story, her kidnapping caused her to get over her shyness and become the heiress she was always meant to be.

5. It is a harem story, because I love NaruHarem

6. It will be LGBT friendly. Naruto, himself will be poly, leaning towards anyone who, in my story will identify as female. Another example is Iruka, being gay, and Anko is a lesbian.

7. As such, Naruto's Harem will have trans girls in it, as mentioned.

8. Hanabi is a twin, not a loli

9. Neji is not a fate spewing fucknut

And now for the Harem list

1. Sakura Haruno

2. Ino Yamanaka

3. Hinata and Hanabi Hyuuga

4. Trans!Neji Hyuuga

5. Trans!Gaara

6. Karin

7. Tayuya

Any suggestions will be taken into consideration as I am a fan of NaruHarem fanfiction where the harem is large. Crossovers are an option.

One last thing, I promise. Any flames and insults will be promptly ignored and/or pissed on. At the beginning of the chapter, I mentioned that constructive criticism and feedback is welcome. That does NOT give anyone carte blanche to treat me like garbage. I consider myself to be an introvert and like to avoid conflict if at all possible. But I am human and I would appreciate being treated as such. I realize that I can and have done stupid shit and anyone is welcome to call me out on it, but I am not, nor will I ever be an idiot.

Okay Rant over. Sorry about that.
