Hello guys! I'm trying to imagine what teenage Sakura would sound like since she is under Madara's wing. If y'all know any female voice actors that have voiced a female villain, drop the name below!! Something familiar to how Madara's voice. Thank you!

Sakura curiously stared at the young Hyuga. It had been weeks, but she still asked for a spar. No one else picked her, but the Hyuga did. Sakura was not only shocked that she did, but in the deep of her heart, she appreciated it. Everyone else either hated her or were too afraid to challenge her, but no matter how many times the Hyuga lost, she still asked to spar. On her walk home, Sakura flexed her fingers and looked at her tiny hands. She knew her hands were not the softest but looking at them, her tiny mind got insecure. She quickly made up her mind and decided that for now she'll hide her hands and bought a pair of gloves.

The clerk gave her an odd stare, but she quickly ran to her home and put them on. She flexed her fingers and even went through hand signs and found them fit. With that she gave herself a nod and ran to her training ground. Hours passed and she gave one final blow and painfully grinned. She was getting better, she could feel it. That night, she slept with a smile on her face. That night, someone's heart died. That night, Madara crossed his arms and blew. Obito had been there.

"Sasuke... alive." "Itachi Uchiha at fault." "Uchiha clan... massacre." Sakura's eyes widened, and she sat up straighter in her chair. She had been leaning with her arms cross, liking how her gloves fit. The news has shocked her to the core. Sasuke was the only one that survived, and she found herself feeling sympathy. And a part of her,the messed up part of her, was hoping. Just hoping maybe, just maybe they would bond and become friends. Iruka looked into his class and gave them a smile, "Since it is near the end of the day, everyone can leave early." With that many kids rushed out of their seats and excitedly chatted.

Sakura got up and ignored the pain in her head. There could only be two causes: Madara was mad or a headache. She knew the first one would result in harsher training. To say Madara was mad was an understatement, he was furious. His pride, the Uchiha, gone. Obito had crossed the line but there was nothing he could do, yet. He knew she could feel his anger, so her training would become harsher. "Another hour of training will be added. All areas shall be covered. Throwing, taijutsu, ninjutsu. Get it done." Sakura just nodded and shook. He was mad.

*Timeskip*

Three days, he awoke in the hospital room. Three days he ran to his home and cried his heart out. Five days he sat in the classroom with an aura that not even his fan club would approach him. Five days he started training nonstop. No one would get in the way of his path. Seven days he saw the pinkette take down the Hyuga in two moves. He took down the blond boy in 6. It took him two weeks to realize she could train him. That day he demanded training, and that day he found his face on the floor with a knee on his back. "Use your words. The tongue is a weapon. I do not take commands from people like you," she stated and walked away.

Sleepless nights led to more training and he had snapped. "Train me," he asked, and she simply raised an eyebrow. "What would I win?" She asked, and he stilled. He had nothing to offer that she didn't already have. Sensing the silence, she scoffed and started walking away. "My loyalty!" He screamed, and she turned around. She knew it and Madara knew it. A big leap had been taken and she gave a mad grin. He looked at her and saw her eyes slightly darken, and he swore he saw a glimpse of red but it quickly went away, "You have my word."

That moment, Obito swore he felt the gunbai thrum with power.
