春野サクラ

Sakura hated how the Shinobi world turned out like. Wars, deaths, weapons, bloodshed. Although she never lived through one, she could only imagine the pain, agony, and the dread of doing so.

Even when she was eleven years old, merely an Academy student that was just learning about the world, she tried her best to avoid any bloodshed. It was why she only focused on studying books and never tried to perfect her body into what they wanted her to become--a killing machine.

But the more she resisted the more she would become less of an asset in the field. Her teammates and comrades needed her, but she would only scream and shout.

"All bark and no bite," One said to her. "You shouldn't even be a genin. You're weak."

But as she spent more time fighting, she got used to it. She knew that her comrades' lives were more important than her puny disgust for blood. She grew stronger, but still tasted the bitter feeling on her tongue when she fought.

And so at the age of thirteen, after the Chunin Exams--where Orochimaru and the Sound wreaked havoc all over the village--she stood on top of the hospital building. She stared out to the sky and stood tall.

When I grow up, I'll make sure there will be no more violence.
