There is a famous legend telling the story of a woman. No one knows her age or what she looks like, since she always has a fox mask on her face. They only knew what to do if one ever came across her. Turn and run the other direction. She had been reported to randomly appear while ninjas are on missions and killed anyone who angered, disrespected, or simply annoyed her. You'll know it's her when the world around you seems to go completely silent and only the sound of wind chimes can be heard. She wore a white, grey, and blue fox mask and is said to have short, blue hair. It's said that she is the most powerful ninja to ever live. She has been come to be known as the Queen of Masks, and she has picked a student. Sakura Haruno is about as normal as you can get (other than the pink hair). She's not from a famous clan, and she doesn't have a powerful demon sealed inside of her. She's not a super genius (but she's pretty smart), and she doesn't have a bloodline trait or Kekkei Genkai to distinguish her from the other ninja around her. Never had she been considered more than a pretty face. What she doesn't know is that despite being seemingly completely normal, she has caught the eye of a very powerful person, changing her life, and the lives of many others.

When Sakura was three, her father told her he was a criminal. When she was seven, the last thing she saw of him was the sword on his back. When she was eight, she had a friend named Kiba. When they were twelve, they met Shino. And when they were genin, they began to fight for the truth because they could no longer fight for the sake of Konoha.
