My Past & Future

A New Found Feeling

     It had been weeks since Sakura had started training with the two Uchiha's. Every day they would meet at the same clearing near the river to train but some days rather than training the three would be spotted walking the streets of Konoha or at a Dango, shop chatting happily.

      Some would say getting an Uchiha to open up to you is near impossible but for Sakura it was as easy as it can be. Her favorite not that she'll admit it was Itachi for reason of course, both loved sweets specifically Dango and training.

     Shisui would admit he never in his life thought that two prodigies would get along so smoothly and be so similar in their own rights.

      Itachi was teaching Sakura new ninjutsu he thought she needed to learn, both were standing at the river maintaining both the chakra at their feet and in their hands to perform the jutsu.

     Shisui on the other hand was resting near a tree watching the two prodigies train. He was different today normally he would have a bright and warm aura around him but today he had an eerie one surrounding him.

     It was obvious to him Sakura didn't like the aura he was sending off that's why he would spend most of the day with Itachi who was more comforting than Shisui himself who was known to be at least the kind-hearted Uchiha out of most of them.

     'What will happen after tomorrow? Would everything still be the same after that day or while it all change? That girl really changed me huh? Not just me Itachi as well' Shisui thought starting at the two.

     The day flew by fast, all three were now sitting by a tree eating Dango.

      "Ne Shisui-san can you train me tomorrow on the shushin?" Sakura asked looking at Shisui.

     "Sorry Sakura-chan but I have a mission tomorrow. I'm sure Itachi can train you" he replied

     "I can't as well I was tasked on patrol tomorrow" Itachi informed

     'Yeh a mission that could kill you Shisui as for Itachi being on patrol will give him an advantage especially if he was assigned near densely packed places. So my main priority is you Shisui'

     "Fine, then when can you teach me?" Sakura asked

      "Maybe... the day after tomorrow" he replied patting her head.

      "Promise?" Sakura asked

      "Promise" he replied

       Itachi found the exchanged rather cute. 'You better keep that promise Shisui' Itachi thought taking another bit at his Dango.

      That night Sakura laid in bed when a sight of light brown fur caught her eyes.

      She stood up and opened the window, a monkey came through it with a scroll in hand.

      "Good evening Sakura-sama, Lord Hokage wanted me to give you this scroll" he said handing the scroll over before disappearing in a puff of smoke.

      Sakura opened the scroll thinking it contained some information about her mission tomorrow.

      Upon reading its content Sakura grew more and more furious. She threw the scroll at the other side of the room a scowl on her face.

      "What are you thinking Oji-san?! If things end up going south innocent people people would get killed"

:::::

     Hiruzen was in his office late at night, smoke from his pipe filled the room.

      'She's probably throwing a tantrum right now, I'm glad she doesn't know how to curse.' He thought with a chuckle.

      Just then a white owl flew into his office with a scroll in its claws. It landed in front of him and handed the scroll.

      "What did she do?" He asked the owl.

       "She is currently throwing a tantrum which is good it shows that she is still a child despite her being mature. As for the scroll it contains information of what she is planning to do" the owl replied.

      Hiruzen smiled thinking of Sakura finally acting her age while Opening the scroll.

       Oji-san I just want you to know that despite you canceling my mission to protect Shisui I will still proceed. During the days I spent with them I grew attached despite it is my mission. It goes against a shinobi principle but I still did, as to why I did get attached I do not know. The two are different from the friends I have at the academy especially Itachi. He reminds me of well myself, in truth I felt at ease with them a feeling that recently only you and Naruto can make me feel.

      You always tell me to value family and to protect them. Tomorrow I'll do just that, to me Itachi and Shisui Uchiha are family and I'll make sure to protect them.

     Sorry, Oji-san but I can't let them die, I have a feeling Danzo wants something with the Uchiha clan but without proof my theory is just a theory. Tomorrow I can finally give you an upper hand against him.

      Hiruzen didn't know how to feel, but one thing was for sure. He was glad Sakura was opening up to people and finding the worth of having people to talk to.

      "I  If do anything to help her despite my position as Hokage there are limitations to what I can and can't do. She's on her own from this point on, honestly their are times when I can read through her but this time I'm at a lost. If she does choose to proceed tell her to be careful and if she would have a major injury tell her that she won't be allowed to eat Dango for a month" Hiruzen told the owl.

     "Certainly Lord Hokage, and thank you for taking care of Misaki's child as your own" the owl replied

      "Your her summon?" He asked

      "I was her families main summon, Misaki was the only Haruno left so it's obvious all summons her family had would pass on to her. Sakura is our current master, and with that we are tasked with protecting her. Every person has their secrets that they themselves do not know" the owl replied before disappearing.

      'You really are full of surprises aren't you Misaki' Hiruzen thought looking out of the window.
