Watch Me

I knocked on the door. A soft 'Come in' was heard. Opening it and looked around the organized office to the man sitting at the desk. The Fourth Hokage greeted me with a large smile and put aside his paper work. "Ah Sakura-chan! Come in sit. What can I do for you!"

He's the father of my teammate Naruto. A crazy goofball who happens to be my closest friend. He's a hero to the village, almost died for this village. If not for the third hokage he would be dead. You see, during the ninetails attack the Fourth planned to use a seal that would end his life, but as he began to form the seal the third pushed him away and finished it. Costing his own life and effectively sealing the nine tails in Naruto, which we only know about because our mission to the mist, and it was even more apparent after the chunin exams.

After Sasuke was almost taken by Orchimaru he was put into a secret place to train and we haven't seen him in over a year. Naruto went with Jyraya for a 4 year long trip for training as well. Ive been stuck in Kohana doing absolutely nothing but polish my medical knowledge and train with weights like I've done for the past 4 years. It was time for a change and this was my chance.

"Hello Hokage-sama." I bowed and took a seat in the chair he offered. I wrung my hands as a nervous sweat began to form. I've wanted to meet this person ever since I started learning about medical ninjutsu. And I just knew the hokage should know where she was. I gave a sigh and asked my question.

"I want to learn under the Sanin Tsunade!"

The Fourth stared at me for a second before a big smile lit up his face. He started moving around appears and going through drawers. He pulled out a small map and handed it to me. He began to explain what it was.

"This is the last known place of her, I would suggest starting there and asking around. And here's a picture," it was a beautiful women with long blonde hair and a purple diamond on her forehead, "show this to local bars and they might be able to point you in the right direction." I took this all in then asked why he was giving me all this.

He leaned back in his chair and had a far off look. "Tsunade once told me that if anyone ever asked to train under her, they'd have to find her first. That is her first test. Now I'm sending an ANBU with you for protection. He cannot help you find her but at least you'll be safe."

I nodded my head and rolled up the map and picture. He told me to go pack for the journey and that I should pack for colder weather. The ANBU would meet me at the gate the next morning, this was an official C ranked mission that'll last for however long it takes me to find her and if she decides to train me. I walked home with this information. Once inside I told my parents what was going on and my mom sprang up and into her room. Once she walked out she had an outfit for me.

"I had planned to give you this during the chunin exams but with the whole Sasuke thing and the sand almost killing the Fourth I decided to wait, so here."

It was a new ninja outfit. It was a dark pink kimono with the Haruno symbol on the back. She also gave me a white obi to cinch the waist. It had no sleeves and a high collar. It short, it was really pretty. She also gave me a fur inner coat for cold weather and arm warmers. I thanked her and ran upstairs to put it on.

I waited by the gate for the ANBU early the next morning. It was up to them to show me their face and I was not allowed to ask. I was told it was someone I knew, but I dont knew anyone who was in ANBU. Never the less I obliged to the orders. After five minutes there was a light breeze and a man stepped next to me. Black feathers fluttered around him before crumbling into fine dust. I stared wide eyed and my mouth hanging open. He looked at me through the crow mask and tilted his head.

I put my hands to my mouth and made a very unlady like noise as I dashed around him. "Woah! How'd you do that, that was so cool! Can you teach me? Oh my god I wanna do that..." I soon realized that the man was amused by me. "Oh uh sorry..." He laughed and we went off.

Now my journey starts. Idk how long itll take me but I'm determined to train under her and get stronger then I've ever been. I need to catch up to them, and I will.

Watch me.
