A Legend Rewritten

For The People I Love

        Sakura was training for three hours straight taking five to ten minutes break in between exercises. She did three laps around the training ground, twenty-five push ups, sit ups, squats, and jumping jacks. She practiced her katas and taijutsu by attacking the trees near the area, completely demolishing them with her chakra enhanced kicks and punches.

         She was covered with sweat, dirt, and bruises from all the training. She healed herself up before heading home after resting for a bit.

        She glanced at the people opening shops, walking down streets, and chatting as she jumped from roof to roof before she arrived at her house.
When she arrived her clone was still asleep, but her parents were gone. It was 6 in the morning, her father went to work at the intellegence department while her mother ran the bakery a few blocks away.

        She dispelled her clone and headed to the bathroom. She took a cold shower to keep her awake and refreshed for the remainder of the day. She puts on a green dress with pink cherry blossoms at the side recalling her younger self loving dresses.

       She didn't want to look to suspiciuos because a sudden change in taste is definitely out of place. She tied her hair up with a red ribbon, the ribbon brought back a nostalgic feeling in her.

      "Hey forehead" Ino called waving her hands in the air as she walks towards Sakura.

      Sakura turned towards Ino a small smile creeped on her face. "I'll be going now, you better watch ove the patients, Ino Pig"

        "Of course what do you take me for Forehead!"

        Sakura waved goodbye and left. Tsunade tasked her to help the shinobis at the front lines while her along with the other Kages were to battle Madara.

         It has been 5 years since the war has started and so much lives were lost. Her parents died two years after the war began along with Ino's and Shikamaru's father. They were at the base when it was attcked.

       Guilt filled the trio during the next few months after receiving the news yet they still stayed strong.

        Sakura stayed at the front lines for 4 months before given the order to return at the base.

        She was a couple of miles away from the base when she saw smoke. She made a dash to the base only to find it in rubbels.

       Ino was the first that came into her mind. She searched through the thick smoke and rubbles only to find the blonde bleeding out and gasping for air.

:::::

     Sakura shooked her head, for years she wanyed to forget that memory. It broke her more than any other deaths, Ino was her sister who she wanyed to spend more time with, but faith thought otherwise.

        "How can you just forget about it?! Ino pig died in the war and so did our parents? How did you get over that?!"

         Sakura was surprised by the voice in her head but knew who it was.
 
        "Inner?"

         "Who else sherlock"

        "You don't get over it. You can only wish to protect the rest of your friends. Don't worry I'll change the future. I won't let Ino or any of our friends die, not this time"

         "How can I help?"

         "Can you surpress the tailed beast Chakra and Hagoromo's Chakra? If you can please do. I want you to use the chakra in healing me from the inside similar to the way the 100 healing seal works. Also be on alert, use chakra sensory to keep an eye out"

        "Sure supressing 10 is hard but I'll do my best. I'll try healing you with the tailed beast Chakra similar to what future Naruto does so you don't have to weave signs. I'll keep an eye out for any strange chakra. Anything else?"

        "Not at the moment. Thanks"

        At the moment Sakura was so happy to have an inner version of her that can do the things she can do. She knew normal people like everyone but her had no inner, okay maybe a few have inners but those inners were only tailed beast.

         Soon after Sakura felt her chakra being masked. She had a small smile on her face thanking her inner for her help. She headed down stairs to be met by an empty living area.

        "Outer moms coming home, current location 2 blocks away"

        Sakura nodded then sat down on the couch.

         The door soon opened revealing her mother that was in her late twenties. She recalled the time they had a huge fight a couple of months before they died.

:::::

      "Sakura honey please rethink your decision" her mother pleaded as she was asked by the Hokage to accompany her to the dront lines. Sakura could decline and stay, but she accepted.

        "Mom I'm going, they need me out there" Sakura said as she hugged her mother.

        "No you will no! You know nothing of war. Its to dangerous you're just a little girl Sakura. You cannot fight!" Kizashi yelled at his daughter.

        Sakura clenched her fist. She faced her father.

       "Yes I will! You don't know me and your my father. I've been training with Lady Tsunade for this. I've grown, I'm not the same weak and useless little girl I used to be! I've grown and yet non of you see it. I'm leaving wether you want me to or not!"

       Sakura punched the wall leaving a crack. She stormed out of her home.

:::::

        Two days after she sent them she finally got the news that her parents had been killed and they were already buried.

       She hated that day, she couldn't come home cause she was needed by her friends at the front. She was a wreak that day, the next was no better people didn't know she was slowly dying from the inside by the losing the people she loved.

        Her parents were the first to die, followed by her friends and sensei soon after until she was the only one left.

        'This time I'll grow strong and protect you. I don't care if I die just as long as your all safe and alive'

       She ran up to her mother hugging her tight as if she was about to die. Mebuki patted her head before lifting her up. "Good morning Sakura, let's eat breakfast shall we?"

        Sakura nodded as her mother carried her to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
