"Inner Talking."

*Dream*
"SAVE US," they screamed at her. Her wide eyes filled with tears at the sight of blood. She looked down at the bodies of her parents and felt a sticky substance slide down her arm. She shakily raised her hands to her face, and let out a scream. There they were...Her hands tightly holding a familiar knife. The knife that was used to take her parent's lives away.
*Dream Ends*
------------------------------------
Sakura awoke with a gasp and tightly held her sheets in her grip. She let out a sob and winced right after at feeling pain erupt through her body. Madara was right when he said he had been going easy on her. Her body ached all over, and she was sure that the scratches she had on her arms would scare potential friends away. "Bandage them up. They can not know of your training," Madara stated, and Sakura internally cried in joy. She hopped into the shower and quickly but soflty cleaned her scratches. A few minutes passed, and she found herself fully dressed and her arms bandaged. She slowly moved her arms around and let out a sigh.
"Now that you're done wasting time, you can now run to the academy." Sakura felt her eyes widened and looked out the window. The road was slowly beginning to fill with people, which meant that the academy was going to start soon. She quickly opened her window, stepped out, closed the window and slowly made her way onto the roof. "Lesson number 20, gather chakra to your feet and keep it balanced. Run on the roof top and try not to fall, or you'll become a heap of bones." Sakura let out a gasp and felt her eyes water at the thought. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and felt for her chakra. It took her a while, but she slowly figured out where most of her chakra was spread out. It wasn't much chakra, but she knew that her reserves were slowly growing with all the training Madara put her through.
She started out with a light jog and jumped to another roof, praying to anyone out there that she wouldn't fall. She let out a sigh of relief, as she barely landed on the roof. "I expected you to fall, nevertheless continue your way to the academy." Sakura quickly swallowed in nervousness and swiftly ran across roof tops, making sure to jump as far as she could. When there was no more roofs in sight, she landed on the ground and sprinted towards the academy. Iruka cheerfully grinned at the kids that entered his classroom. He glanced around the classroom and internally winced at the surrounded boy. It seemed that he was a victim of fangirls. He looked around and noticed that two seats were empty.
He frowned at the thought and shook his head. One was, obviously, the yellow haired jinchuriki, and the other one was the pink haired civilian that got picked on yesterday. Iruka was going to interfere, but before he could she had ran away. He walked to the back of his desk and sat down on his chair. He'll wait until class begins. Sakura entered the doors of the academy and ran to her class, quietly entered and walked to her seat. She could see the group of girls surround the same boy from yesterday and avoided any eye contact with any member of the group. She didn't want to be pushed or punished with heavy training by Madara. She quietly made her way to her seat and sat down, slowly letting out a soft sign and looked at her bandaged hands. 'It'll be worth it, someday,' she thought and closed her eyes, allowing herself to fall asleep for a bit.
A few minutes passed, and Sakura felt someone on her left. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a girl sitting next to her. Sakura furrowed her eyebrows at the girl. She was curious and wondered who the girl was. "Okay class, today we'll be learning about our leaders, the Hokages," Iruka announced, "they have fought with their lives on the line and have always treated us with a good judgment." While Iruka was speaking, Sakura felt her head start to hurt. She let out a soft wince, and tuned out Iruka, who was going to start speaking about the First Hokage. "Sleep during this lesson. There is no reason for you to know who those fools are. You will need the rest for today's training." Sakura slowly settled her arms in front of her and settled her face on top of them. It hurt her arms a bit, but she pushed the pain aside. She could feel someone's eyes on her, but it didn't matter to the tired pinkette, who had fallen asleep and no one bothered to wake her up.
"Again," Madara stated, and Sakura repeated the seals. She took in a deep breath and fire flew out of her mouth. "Again," he stated and closed his eyes. Madara could make something out of the pinkette. He knew he could. He already had her working on a few advance techniques for taijutsu and had started teaching her his nature release jutsus. The problem with his plan was the pace of her progression. He had two options. She can become a prodigy and get stuck with a different team. One that would probably suck and won't meet his standards. Or he can train her and make her hide her advance abilities and have her end up in the same team as the young Uchiha would be in. He watched through her eyes as the familiar color of the fire flew form her mouth and could only let out a hum. He had accomplished in making Obito a powerful shinobi, and he will make sure that Sakura will be as powerful as he is.
He felt a grin start to form on his lips. 'Yes,' he decided, 'She will become the shinobi I need her to be.'
