A Legend Rewritten

Intellegence Sector

       Sakura was eating happily with her parents at breakfast. It was a Saturday morning the only day of the week Sakura would spend the morning with her parents before they could go to work. On Sunday's were their only day off from work and they plan on going on a picnic tomorrow afternoon.

        This was a hurdle in Sakura's training plans for tomorrow but decided to shrug it off considering that she was going to spend time with her parents which died during the war, the worst part was she left on a bad time.

         "Sakura-chan mom and I decided to bring you to my work today so you wouldn't be so lonely. My co-worker is also bringing his child today. We thought it would be a chance for you to make new friends" Her father said looking up at the girl who continued eating with a smile, when in truth she was running multiple scenarios in her head.

        'If I go I go I wouldn't be anle to train for two days straight, if I do go do just get to meet another child my age. It seems boring but the look on fathers face says I couldn't say no which is such a drag'

        "You're beginning to sound like the Nara kid we meet in the future. What was his name again? Anyway just go with dad it would be a father-daughter day out. You need to mend the bond you broke in the future if you don't want to have the same regrets again"

          "The Nara kids name is Nara Shikamaru, I trained with him during the two years Naruto went away to train with Jiraya-san. We were close and he taught me how to play shogi, our current score is 10-10 we never finished playing our last game due to us having mission left to right. As for the father-daughter bonding time I might just take you up on that, but I foresee it being boring if dad has a work to do'

         Sakura looked up her father with a big smile "I love to papa" she said eating the last piece of pancake. Kizashi nodded and told Sakura to get ready. Sakura happily skilled to her room and dressed herself in a pale yellow dress with white linings. She wanted to look like an average 2 year old in front of others while also having the ability to fight in her clothes.

         She decided to take a storage scroll she made and placed it inside her pocket for safety purposes. She activated her seals all around the house making sure her mom would be safe when they left, she still happened placed seals at the bakery yet since there were people all over the place.

          Sakura went downstairs and saw her parents waiting for her at the living area. She waved her mom goodbye and they left.

:::::

         They arrived at the Intellegence Sector and Sakura had to admit it was a sight to behold. It was still as big as she remembered it during her past life. People greeted her father and waved at her as they passed by.

         Sakura was right, her father had important work to do to spend time with her. She decided to excuse herself and went exploring. She went to the rooftop and sat down. She looked up the say remembering the time she spend with Shikamaru, they were either playing shogi or cloud gazing. This became her hobby and way to calm down whenever she would stress herself out from work.

        "Outer two chakra signatures just arrived. One of them is with dad the other is walking around. It's making it's way to the rooftop"

        "No need to be so alarmed inner, I know that chakra signature. Although I have to admit I never thought that the kid I was suppose to play with would be him. I hope he at least brought a shogi board"

        Sakura closed her eyes recollecting herself, she had been stressed out with training non-stop and mastering high class jutsus. She heard the rooftop door opened, she smiled.

        "What are you doing here?" a voice said from behind.

         She turned around and saw Nara Shikamaru as a kid, he was holding a shogi board and had his signature pineapple hair.

        "Just cloud gazing, can we play shogi?"

         Shikamaru stared at the girl before nodding and muttering the word "troublesome". He set the board and they began playing.

:::::

        Kizashi and Shikaku were sitting at their desk doing work when they noticed that both of their kids weren't back yet. It has been 2 hours and yet there was no sign of them.

        Both sighed and looked around the building, they finally reached the rooftop when a sight of pink caught both their eyes.

        They saw Sakura and Shikamaru in a game of Shogi, from the looks of it they were deep in the game. Sakura had an innocent smile on her face while Shikamaru was frowning deep in thought.

          They walked up to them and glanced at their little game. Shikaku was bewildered when he saw the board. Shikamaru was losing, and it was bad. Shikaku knew how good his son was at shogi, he taught him shogi even before he taught him how to speak and to see his son losing a game with Kizashi's daughter amused him to an extent that even he wanted to play around the girl.

        Kizashi on the other was amazed by her daughter's abilities. She was dominating the game and her opponent is a Nara who specialized in shogi, he didn't even know she knows how to play the game.

         The adults we're pulled out of their thoughts when they heard Shikamaru mumble " troublesme girl". Both adults glanced at the board and saw that Sakura had won.

           Shikamaru got up and walked to his father pulling on his shirt. Shikaku looked down at him and saw a glint in his eyes. "Can Sakura-chan come over tomorrow?" He asked, shikaku knew very well why and patted his headed and replied with a "sure son".

         Sakura walked up to them and handed Shikamaru his shogi board. "Good morning Nara-san" she said bowing her head before heading over to her father.

:::::

          The day passed by and the two kids either played shogi or cloud gazed the whole day. It was 10 in the night, Sakura was still up reading a book about the forth Hokages shushin that allows him to travel through space at high speed. She wanted to replicate the jutsu and enhance in anyways she could.

           She heard her parents chatting down stairs, both were replanning the picnic tomorrow deciding to just move it next weekend which made Sakura groan. She was instead asked to come over and hang out with Shikamaru for an entire day and have a sleep over.

         She frowned of the idea, everything was ruining her schedule. She wanted to perfect the shushin by the end of two weeks and if this unplanned events keep popping up she would have to keep on adjusting her schedule.

          That night she remade her training schedule leaving a Sunday as her only free day and making sure she still had plenty of time to rest and hang out with either her parents or Shikamaru.

        "It's been 3 days and Shisui still hasn't made any move same goes for Fugaku. What are they planning exactly? He knows of my abilities and still hadn't made a move to find me, I know he's interested to see my abilities first hand yet he still surpresses his curiosity and ignores me"

        Sakura sighed, things were going as planned but we're taking a rather long time to begin. She needed the Uchiha to make their first move before she does to avoid as much suspicion as possible.

          She turned off her desk light and slid in bed. She placed a hand on her head and frowned.

           "Tomorrow I have to stay under the radar as much as possible I want to make sure that only the Uchiha's know of me and no one else. I can't let my plan fail"
