Soulmates {MadaSaku and OCxOC}

Chapter 5: The Godaime apprentice (Part 1)

Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own Naruto

Author's quick note: I'll keep with the huge summary type chapters in this one too. Soon they'll be in the past. That's where everything really starts.

Lady Tsunade was a pain in the back. Sakura had to beg to her to be taken as her apprentice. The Slug Sannin was a very lazy person when it came to responsibilities. Sakura offered to help her and Shizune, who was a very nice person, with those chores. The thought of more help, and also that Sakura could be very annoying when she really wanted something made her accept her.

"You have to read all these books during this week, and then you have to bring back to life a fish. If you'll manage that, you'll be my apprentice" The Hokage said.

Sakura was a bookworm so that was the easy part, she had everything read in three days. The thing was to revive the fish. By reading she learnt that that wasn't a thing you could do in a week, it took months. So she faced Tsunade Sama.

"I've managed to get the basics of Medical ninjutsu by reading, and I believe I will know how to mold my chakra and control it, but I have to practice, and first I need to see you doing it" Sakura said seriously to her Shishou to be.

Tsunade smirked. "Kid you have some balls, haven't you?, bring me one of those scrolls over there".

Sakura brought one and when they opened it, it had a seal that once activated it revealed a dead fish. Below the fish there was another seal she recognized from the medical books Tsunade gave her.

The Sannin put her hands over the fish and Chakra started to glow green. In a minute the fish was alive. Sakura watched in awe. "Why do you want to be a medic Nin so badly?"

'I feel useless' was her first thought, but she knew that wasn't entirely true. She wanted to be useful, to help the people she loved and fought for her, and she wasn't fond of being treated like a porcelain doll. "Naruto promised to me that he would bring Sasuke-kun back and got badly hurt while trying. He was injured because of me, and I couldn't do anything. When we were ambushed by Orochimaru at the forest and he and Sasuke-kun were hurt, all I could do was to watch over them. I'm always watching him from behind, I want to walk with them shoulder to shoulder." She stated.

Tsunade looked at her, her brows up showing a bit of amusement. "Ok kid, give me your hand" Sakura did it and Tsunade held it with her palm open facing the ceiling. "Close your eyes and focus. Feel your Chakra through your body; be conscious of it flowing in you. Feel it." Sakura had her brows furrowed and was concentrating hard. "Now think of your chakra moving to this hand, going fluidly to your fingers. Then you have to visualize a change of it, it's not a chakra to fight or destroy, it's a chakra to mend, rebuild, it brings life. You got it?" Sakura Nodded slightly, she was doing a great effort. "Now relax and release it in your hand."

Sakura felt an odd shift on her body and then chakra coming out of her hand.

"Open your eyes" The Sanin said.

The pink haired kunoichi did as said and watched in awe the green glowing chakra molded in her hand. She smiled, and felt hot tears of joy falling down her cheeks. She looked up to the woman in front of her who was grinning with some pride.

"Tomorrow, 6 am sharp, training ground 3. Hope you're not like your irresponsible sensei" Tsunade said.

"Th-Thank you" the girl said and couldn't hide her joy.

"Wait until tomorrow, then you'll see if you're thankful or not" answered the Hokage mischievously. Sakura gulped hard.

Next day Sakura was 5:45 at training ground 3. She was so thrilled! Then Tsunade showed up and told her that today they'll spar so she can watch her moves and techniques. Sakura was really poor in taijutsu and didn't know any real jutsu per sé. Her new sensei made a mental note to kill Kakashi later, what a lame misogynist sensei he was!
