The Queen of Masks [Sakura Haruno Story]

23

"Someone's in a good mood. Was the mission really that satisfying?" Kisaki noted. She no longer wore her mask around her beloved student, now trusting her fully.

"Oh!" Sakura stopped her daily warmups."I forgot to tell you! Kakashi-sensei knows about you."

"Ah, that why you're so happy. I'm happy you finally got to see Kakashi."

Sakura blinked. "You mean, you're not mad that I told him?"

"No." Kisaki frowned. "Why would I be?"

"Well, you told me not to tell anyone."

Kisaki chuckled. "That was only to protect you. I don't think Kakashi would tell anyone. Plus, now you're strong enough to fend off assassins and kidnappers."

Sakura smiled brightly at her master, about to return to her workouts, when a question popped into her mind out of the blue.

"Master, how old are you?" Sakura asked curiously. Her sensei looked to be only in her early twenties, but the legend of the Queen of Masks goes back for many years.

Kisaki smiled at the question. "I was wondering when you were going to ask me that. I'm turning three hundred and six this April."
