*Ring! Ring!*

I woke up and destroyed my alarm, breaking it to bits. I sighed and mumbled "I have to get a new one, again." I got out of bed and went to change. I looked in the mirror as I was brushing my hair. I had grown my hair to the floor, my emerald eyes shimmering in the light, my chest grew over the years, and my strong facial features making my appearance stunning.  I dressed into my custom made ANBU uniform and put on my dragon mask. I was known as "The Merciless Cherry Blossom" and had many fan boys drooling over me in every village I was sent to.

I walked down the streets on Konoha, making sure everything was alright. I passed the ramen shop and heard a voice I hadn't heard in a very long time. "This is heaven!" I looked inside and saw Konoha 11. I had left the group 5 years ago. "Keep it down. You are disturbing the villagers." I said making everyone's head turn my direction. I nodded to the shop owner and left. I heard the little conversation that had started.

"Hey, Old Man. Do you know that guy?" Naruto asked.

"She is the ANBU captain of the S-division and training to be the sixth Hokage."

"How old is she?" Neji asked.

"She's ............17."

I heard the long pause, knowing that he forgot. I let out the "famous" Uchiha smirk and continued to walk around the village, only stopping to heal a little girl's arm. I arrived at the Hokage building and went to her office. I went in and took my place behind her as her personal guard and second advisor, sometimes replacement. She always took breaks to drink her sake, so it became a regular thing.

I was to become the sixth Hokage in 2 months so I needed the extra practice. I sat down at the desk, while Lady Tsunade went to get some sake. I used the transformation jutsu to turn myself into her and started to work. When I was half way done with the paperwork, Naruto burst in the office saying "I want a mission, granny!" I did my best impression of Lady Tsunade and exclaimed "I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT!" I swore Naruto shrunk twice his size. I said "I giving your team a C-rank mission. Go and gather your team."

As soon as Naruto left, I sighed and said " He will never change will he." I finished the paper work and started on my own paperwork from the hospital. Then Naruto burst in again yelling "I got everyone, granny! Believe It!" Then I looked up from the desk and yelled " I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT! DON'T YOU LISTEN?!" Then he shrunk, again. The rest of Team 7 came in and I started to explain the mission. " You guys will go to the Hidden Mist Village and escort Tazuna to the Hidden Leaf, you will also bring back a kunoichi. You guys remember Tazuna right?" Naruto nodded, Sasuke just said "Hn", Sai gave no emotion, and Kakashi just kept on reading his book. I dismissed them and looked out the window. I secretly sent out a clone to the Hidden Mist to meet them there. I finished the paperwork and left a clone in my place and transported to the Hidden Mist.

When I arrived, I released the clone and released the transformation. I headed over to Tazuna's house and knocked on the door. I was greeted by Inari, who hugged me and said "Sakura-chan!" I hugged him back and said "I have a surprise for you." I told him that Team 7 was on their way. I put on my mask and asked "Do you want to come to Hidden Leaf with your grandfather?"  He nodded and I told him to call me "Dragon" when Team 7 arrived. He gave me a tour of his village and looked for Tazuna. I took off my mask to see if he would remember me. It had been 7 years since I saw him. He took one look at me and then pulled me into a hug.

It has been 5 days since I arrived at the Hidden Mist. I began to wonder where Team 7 was. I brought the old photo that we had taken, and looked at it. "All the good memories gone" I said quietly. Inari knocked on my door and said " Sakura-chan, they are here." I put on my mask and went outside. I didn't bother to hide or tie my hair. I went into the living room and sat down. I looked at my ex-teammates and said "So, you are the ones escorting us to the Hidden Leaf I presume. I'm Dragon, also known as The Merciless Cherry Blossom. And you are?"

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Believe It!"

"Hn, Sasuke Uchiha"

"Hello, my name is Sai"

"Kakashi Hatake"

I nodded and said "I'll get Tazuna-san and then we can go." I disappeared in a swarm of cherry blossoms.

Naruto P.O.V

As the lady left, I turned to Inari and asked "Who are you?"He looked at me and said "You don't remember me? You were here with Sakura-chan, Sasuke, and your teacher 7 years ago." I thought a moment, then exclaimed "Inari, that you?!" He smiled and said "Yup" We talked a bit before that lady came back.

Sakura P.O.V

I appeared with Tazuna and said "Let's go." I told everyone to gather around me, while I performed the simple transportation justu. Then we appeared in the Hokage's office, to find my clone finishing up some paperwork. I disappeared in a puff of smoke to be behind the desk in the form of Lady Tsunade. "So, you've returned." I said looking up from the paper. "That was my trusted student." I added while pointing to the place I was at. I sensed the real Tsunade coming towards the office so I got up and released the transformation. I greeted Lady Tsunade by bowing a 90 degree angle as she walked in saying "Welcome back, Lady Hokage." I look up and said "Team 7 has just returned from the mission I assigned to them. Would you like me to escort Tazuna-san and his grandson to the Inn or would you like me to take my shift at the hospital?" She told me to take my shift and leave Tazuna and Inari to her. I excused my self and turned to Inari and said "See you around, kiddo" before disappearing. I went home to change into my hospital uniform, put my hair in a ponytail, and headed to the Hokage's office. I was the head of the hospital for over 3 years and saved more then 1,000,000 patients.

I headed to the Hokage's office to get the paperwork I had left on the desk. I knocked on the door and went in to find Team 7 in a conversation with the Hokage. Their heads turned to face my direction. Naruto asked "Who are you?" I looked at him and said " It's non of your business." I walked over to the desk and grabbed a stack of completed paperwork. I turned around and walked past my ex-team.  I sighed in relief and headed to the hospital.

At the end of my shift, I went to Lady Tsunade's office. I went in and Tsunade started to talk to me. She said "Sakura Haruno, I am assigning you back to Team 7. You can not say no." I looked at her with a emotionless stare and said "Hai. Lady Tsunade, they don't remember me." She looked at me and said "They will once you introduce yourself." I smiled and then excused myself.

I woke up at 4 the next day because Kakashi always had us wake up around this time. I dressed up in a red shirt, pink skirt, and my ninja boots completely exposing my ANBU tattoo.(like in Naruto Shippuden) I teleported to Kakashi's house to find him sleeping. I went through an open window and woke him up. I said "Hello there, I'm your new student." I made him get dressed and dragged him to Team 7's training grounds. When we got there, I saw Naruto and Sasuke sleeping underneath some shade and Sai painting.

Kakashi woke the two boys and said " We have a new member. Introduce yourselves and say your likes, dislikes, hobbies, and dreams." I looked at him and said " Why don't you go first."

" I'm Kakashi Hatake, What I like is non of your concern. What I dislike is non of your concern. My hobbies are non of your concern and my dream is non of your concern."

Then I said, "Kakashi Hatake. Former ANBU, student of the fourth Hokage, known as the "copy ninja", holds the sharingan, has over 1,000 jutsus memorized, son of the White Fang, teacher of Team 7, always late, reads perverted books, and ............ Am I missing anything?" I looked at him with an innocent smile.  "Nope," he said "how do you know so much?" I turned my right arm to his direction and showed him my tattoo. "I make it my duty to know everything about everyone." He turned and pointed at Naruto. "Your turn."

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki. I like any kind of ramen, Hinata-chan, and training. I dislike Sasuke, waiting the 3 minutes for instant ramen, and any noddle not ramen. My hobbies are comparing different ramens, training, and sleeping. My dream is to become the greatest Hokage and surpass the past Hokages." 

"And the son of the Fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki. The holder of Kurama, the 9 tails. Part of Rookie 8 and Konoha 11." I added with a smile.

"Sasuke Uchiha. I like tomatoes. I dislike Naruto. My hobby is training and my dream is to restore my clan."

"Sasuke Uchiha. The last Uchiha. Holds the curse mark. Left the village 6 years ago. Part of Team Taka. Killed Orochimaru and Itachi Uchiha. Only says 'Hn' or "Dope'. And very Stubborn." I smiled and pointed at Sai.

"Sai. Former ANBU from the foundation, lead by Danzo. Had curse mark on tongue, removed by former member of Team 7 , Sakura Haruno. The curse mark forbid you to speak freely of the foundation. Shows no emotion and like to paint." I said before he could even start.

"I guess it's my turn. Sakura Haruno. Orphaned at age 3. Shunned and betrayed by my so called 'friends'. Former, now reassigned to, Team 7 member. Head Medic, ANBU captain of the S-division, soon to be sixth Hokage. Known as "The Merciless Cherry Blossom" Former member of Rookie 9 and Konoha 12, now known as Rookie 8 and Konoha 11.  Apprentice of the Fifth Hokage, second advisor, and replacement. Assigns most missions given to ninjas." I said with a emotionless tone.
