I jumped up and kicked him a few times, but he dodged it with his hands. I only managed to push him backwards. Once my feet touched the floor, I punched him with my chakra infused fist. He stopped it with his hand which wrapped around my fist. He yelped in the pain as my fist broke his bones.

"You.. YOU ARE GONNA GET IT!" He yelled furiously.

I flipped backwards and stood up proud, watching him intently. What is your power? What can you do with that size of yours? I'm sure it isn't just for show. I narrowed my eyes.

Suddenly, I felt his chakra flare. His chakra is intense! I shouldn't waste time! I immediately did hand signs.

"Lighting Style: Lightning Blade!"

I ran towards him with it in my hand. I don't like this, but..I gotta do what I gotta do! I raised my hand aimed for his chest, but it was stopped. What?! How?? I looked and saw his hand on my hand with the lighting blade. He stopped it..with...

...Chakra?? I widened my eyes.

"I must say, that Justu you performed was powerful.. But my chakra can always block it!" He laughed.

His chakra.. This chakra.. It is a lot!

"My chakra special. It can replenish fast, so I don't have to worry about chakra depletion." He smirked.

"The only people who have that kind of chakra is.. the Yamauchi clan!" I gasped.

"Yes.. You are a smart one.." He smirked. "As a reward, I will spare your lives if you evacuate now!"

"Hell no, I won't! I will rescue the princess!"

"Foolish little girl.. Your time is up!" He said and charged at me. If he is filled with chakra, he can punch me chakra filled fist with no problem! I'm going to be dead meat!

I dodged all of his attacks and hopped into the air. What do I do?? I furrowed my eyebrows. Think, Sakura! Think! Urgh.. I need something to absorb chakra..but what?? I need Nii-san's Samehada! Then an idea snapped. Samehada! I have the scales! YES!

I smirked and dropped on the ground. He charged at me to land a punch, but I went under his arm and stab the scale of Samehada onto his back where he can't reach. Hell yeah!

"Why do I feel so weak? As if my chakra is being drained?" He said weakly and dropped on the ground.

"Cause it is, idiot!" I said knocked him unconscious before I took the scale back and insert it into my pouch.

I smirked and went to search for the princess. I assume she is in this room since he waited here. I walked around to sense any presence. Got it! Behind this wall! I punched the wall with my fist and found her.

"Princess!" I shouted.

She looked at me in fear. "W-Who are you??"

"I'm a ninja from the village Hidden in the Leaves. I'm here to rescue you, princess" I bowed.

"Oh, okay. Thank you!" She beamed.

"Doing my job, princess. May you ride on my back? It will be faster." I asked.

She nodded and hopped onto my back. I sped out of the room and find my team knocking out the last few people.

"Guys! I found her! Let's go!" I exclaimed.

"Good job, lets go!" Daddy said.

When we reached the palace, it was already night time. The guards looked at us in awe when they saw the princess on my back. I put her down and she ran inside. I smiled and walked in with the rest.

"Sakura, I felt an intense amount of chakra back there. What happened?" Daddy asked.

"I fought with one of the Yamauchi clan." I said.

"I see. Are you hurt?" He asked.

"Nope. Although he is from the Yamauchi clan with such chakra powers, he isn't that skilled. But the reason I won is because of the Samehada scale." I said proudly.

"Samehada scale? How did you have it?" Daddy asked.

"Nii-san gave it to me for my birthday when I was very very young." I grinned.

"So basically you own two swords of the Seven Swordsmen?" He chuckled.

"Not really...But close enough!" I smirked.

All of us were greeted by the royal families.

"Thank you so much for rescuing my daughter. Here is the money." The King said and handed daddy the bag of money.

"Just doing our job, Your Majesty. Thank you." Daddy said.

"Glad to see you alive." A voice said. I froze and turned my head to the voice.

"H-Hiroshi-kun.." I stuttered, hoping that he wouldn't try anything in public.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything." He sighed. "Not here, not now with these many people around in an open space." He smirked. I blushed. B-Bastard!

I turned away and saw the princess walking towards me.

"Thank you for saving me. Call me Orihime!" She smiled.

"My pleasure, Orihime-sama. I'm Sakura." I bowed.

"Just call me Orihime!" She pouted.

"Give up, imouto. She is very respectful." Hiroshi said.

"You know her, Nii-san?"

"N-No! Alright, I'll call you Orihime-chan?" I said.

"Yay!" She squealed. "I'll go back to my room to take a bath. Please excuse me." She said and went away.

"Hmph. Getting all the glory for just defeating a couple of ninjas." A voice said.

"Eiji! Behave yourself! They did save our sister!" Hiroshi said.

"Hmph." Eiji looked away angrily.

"We did not ask for this glory. We are simply doing our job. That is what we ninjas do. Risk our lives for everything. Even for protecting things, such as scrolls, books, letters and such. We have no time to enjoy the glory, or even think about it. We are too busy on trainings and missions. Thinking about life and enjoying it with our love ones while we can. We don't know how long we have left. And may I tell you that it isn't a couple of ninjas? It is over 20+ rogue ninjas that we fought. One of them are from the Yamauchi clan."

Eiji was silent. Hiroshi smiled at me.

"What do you know about death." Eiji stated rather than asked.

"In fact, I do. I was close to death once, but I manage to live anyway. There are a couple of times I risked my life without thinking, but that's just me. I have also..seen deaths of my beloved ones. In front of me.. On my feet." I said and smiled sadly.

"How can you even smile?" Eiji asked.

"Let's see.. Because those that died doesn't want to see us sad, won't they? We have to be strong and move on. Stop holding on to the past. What's the use? Why make your life miserable? That would hold no meaning in living, won't it?" I smiled.

Eiji looked at me for a minute and walked away. I looked at him until he disappeared from my view.

Hiroshi sighed and said,"That kid.. Hope he will wake up soon."

"What happened?" I asked.

Hiroshi looked at me for a minute and said,"He had a twin brother, but he died when he was 6. Both of them were very close, so he couldn't get over him. He was killed by ninjas, so he hates them and he began to hate everybody."

"I see.." I stared at the space.

"Hey, follow me to the garden for a minute." He said. Before I said anything, he pulled me away.

Little did they know.. Hiroshi's parents, Kakashi and Gaara saw them. Each with different things in mind.

She will be a good queen.. The King thought.

My son is finally growing up.. The Queen cried tears of joys mentally.

Where. Is. He. Going. With. My. Cherry. Blossom?! Don't here dare touch her.. Kakashi growled and thought of 100 hundred ways to torture him.

Why do they seem close?? Why do I bother?? Gaara thought and slapped his mind.
