Chapter 4- Second Chance

“Oh, SSSHHHHHHHIIIIIIITTTTTTT!”
Sakura bellowed at the top of her lungs, wondering why she had to be falling.
Reaching her right hand behind her, she grasped her gigantic fan that she had
strapped to her back. Pulling the fan from the material wrapped around her
waist, she then pointed the fan above her. With a movement of her wrist the fan
opened all the way and she pushed it under her body. With the fan under her
body, she could control the fan and the air current around the fan to get it to
go where she wanted it to go. Finally slowing her descent, she steered the fan
towards the Academy’s training ground. Taking the current position of the sun
into consideration, Sakura deduced that the students should have been in class.
As she cast a genjutsu so none of the students would see her approaching, she
didn’t notice that someone had seen her falling and was following her.

As she was about to land, she felt a somewhat familiar
chakra signature, but she wasn’t sure who it was. This wasn’t good. She had
thought that she wouldn’t have been seen, but there was nothing she could do
now. Seconds before she touched the ground, she pulled the fan out from under
her to beside her, using it now as a shield to block the kunai that were thrown
at her from the shadows. Turning her body to face the attacker as he stepped
out had her stepping back in shock. It had worked, but when was she? Looking
back at her was none other than Team 10 teacher; Asuma Sarutobi and he didn’t
look happy to see her.

“Who are you and why are you here? Are you here to cause
problems for the Chuunin Exams? Are you here to take part in the exams? ...If
you are you’re a little late. The second part of the
exams has already begun, so you’re out of luck. What land do you hail from? You
bear both the Land of Wind
and Fires headbands,” pelted Asuma, as he looked at the female ninja in front
of him and awaited an answer. Sakura’s head spun with so many questions in
succession.

Azuma watched her carefully. Whoever she was, she was
beautiful and eccentric and he had never seen eyes or hair like hers before.
Her hair was a cherry blossom pink, a little past her shoulders and her eyes
were the color of emerald. Her face held a look of indifference as did her
stance; it almost reminded him of Kakashi’s. The hair framed her young face
nicely and she wore the Leaf headband over her forehead, but what caught his
attention were the earrings. In her left ear, she had three piercings that
looked similar to what his students wore in their ears. Her right ear had
something different: she had a small bell hanging down, but when she moved her
head it made no noise.

Her style of clothing was something that he would recognize
because it was the same style as the one Kurenai donned. The only real difference
was the color, and she had sleeves on both arms. The top left part of the
outfit was maroon, while the right was silver and where the two colors met in
the middle was black. Unlike Kurenai, she didn’t have a fishnet top underneath
her dress, but bandaged it, like his student Ino. Around her waist was a large
piece of maroon cloth that dangled; acting like a belt and looked just like
what that sand kunoichi wore. But, around the belt was the headband of the sand
village. He couldn’t see if anything was hidden under the loose sleeves of the
shirt, but he noticed that she was wearing gloves on her hands. Her legs were
bandaged all the way down to her ankles and she was wearing silver shin guards,
just like Anko.

She had the standard kunai and shuriken pouch tied to her
left leg. She didn’t wear the standard ninja sandals, but shoes like that of
the legendary sannin Tsunade. The fan that was in her right hand was just as
gigantic looking as the sand kunoichi’s, but this one was open. The design on the
fan was different, but it did seem to fit her hair color. The fan had three
different pictures painted on it: they were the stages of the cherry blossom
trees growth. Stage one, a barren tree, stage two, the tree in full growth with
its branches out, blossoming, and stage three, the cherry blossom tree in full
bloom. Still attached to her back was a medium sized black scroll that could be
used to hide anything. She didn’t look very old, but if he had to guess, she
was probably about 14-16 years old.

Sakura knew that he was awaiting her response, but she
wondered if she really wanted to tell him anything. But, then if she didn’t, he
would go to the Hokage and that wasn’t what she wanted. “Listen, I’m a friend
of the Leaf... a friend of mine from the Sand village gave me his headband
before he died. I’m just here to visit with an old friend of mine, and yes, I
have my paperwork. I’m not taking part in the exams.”

‘Actually, yes, I am but you don’t need to know that,’
Sakura coyly admitted to herself.

She really needed to get out of here. She was busy and had
places to go. When Asuma didn’t say anything, she thought he might let her go,
so she closed her fan and placed it under the scroll on her back, under the
belt. Getting tried of waiting, Sakura started doing hands signs.

Asuma notice that she was doing hand signs and got into a
defensive stance and pulled out his chakra knives. He didn’t know what she was
doing, but whatever it was he would be ready.

Just as she was finishing she looked up at him and smiled.
“Sorry, but I’m already running late. Gotta go, bye!”
Sakura waved goodbye as she finished the jutsu. When she was done her body
dispersed into a shower of flower petals. It took him a couple of seconds to
know what was going on.

Wait... he knew this genjutsu. It was one of Kurenai’s!

He did the counter for the jutsu. When the petals
disappeared, the girl was nowhere in sight. Asuma decided that he would keep a
look out for the girl, but he would tell the Hokage about her. Asuma headed
back towards the tower where the other jounin were waiting to get summoned when
their teams finished.

Once Asuma was gone, Sakura canceled the other genjutsu out
that made him think that she had disappeared. She turned around to make sure no
one else was around and preformed the transformation jutsu, and changed her
look. She transformed into her twelve-year-old self, but without the Haruno
sign on her back and changed her hair color to black, for now. She decided a
little reconnaissance was in order to find our when she landed. Walking to the
nearest tea shop, she ordered a green tea, sat down and waited for her order.
When it did she asked the nice lady if she could bring her a new paper to read
up on all the newest celebrity gossip.

“Sure thing, but you won’t find any local celebrity gossip
in the paper. Maybe I can tell you what you need, since I just love hearing
gossip,” said Chisee.

“Well, I’ve been out of the village for a while with my
family and we just got back, but I wanted to know what has been going on in the
village. My parents can’t understand my love for gossip, but what do they
know?” Sakura shrilled as she tried to
act like her old twelve-years-old self. It was harder than she thought it was
since she was no longer that innocent.

“Oh, you'll love this then! You know Sasuke Uchiha—the
hottie—he’s taking part in the Chuunin Exams with some loser and a really
annoying brat of a girl. I think they should be taking part in the second exam
now; well that’s what my brother was telling me. Ah—I remember those other two
kids’ names now. The loser’s name is Naruto Uzumaki and the girl's name is Jada
Tomoe. She is even more annoying than that Ino chick! I mean come on, so
what if you’re on the same team as the local hottie? That doesn’t mean you have
to advertise it to the whole village. I mean come on, that girl seriously needs
to get a life; if you know what I mean,” Chisee rambled on, dramatizing her
speech by waving her hands everywhere.

‘Boy, I hope I wasn’t that bad of a fan girl, when I
followed Sasuke around,’ thought Sakura as she mentally cringed at those
memories. “I think I’ve meet those two a time or two, but didn’t Jada act kind
of shy and timid around people growing up?”

The look of Chisee’s face told her that she was really off
the mark. “That girl, shy?! Not in this lifetime. You
know Ino, the one from the flower shop across the street? Well she’s worse than
her in attitude and dresses worse then her.”

‘Worse?’ flew
across Sakura’s mind for a split moment.

“She dresses like a slut in her emerald green dress and a
slit up to her thigh. Not that the dress didn’t go just barely past her thigh
to begin with! The front of her dress isn’t any better, with her almost
exposing her padded breasts!” Chisee continues, patting her own breasts appreciatively
and mumbling something about Jada not even having anything to flaunt in the
first place, not even with padding.

“That girl is always declaring her love to Sasuke daily by
singing; and boy that girl’s voice
is like nails on a chalkboard. Even that loser Naruto and their teacher can’t
stand her. ...She is smart, but too stupid to take a hint. She thinks,” Chisee
used air-quotes, “’EVERYONE’ likes
her because she is so beautiful and talented!” Chisee praised sarcastically.
It was clear to Sakura that her replacement wasn’t like at all.

“I’m sorry; I got the name confused with another Jada that I
know from my travels. Thanks for the run down on what’s been happening; keep
the change,” Sakura chirped as she puffed out of the tea shop without even drinking
the tea. Chisee looked down at the money for the tea and smiled. She liked that
girl who ever she was—she sure knew how to leave a tip!

Sakura appeared on the roof of the tea shop and headed in
the direction of the Forest of Death.
She had to make sure her team made it through to the third part of the exam or
it all would be for nothing. Pushing chakra into her legs she accelerated her
speed since she was still a long way behind.

‘So, this Jada person took over my spot on the team, but
she seems like she's worse than me. Could that be even possible!? I was pretty
annoying back then; but I need to focus on what is in
front me,’ Sakura thought as she neared the Forest
of Death. Landing on a tree branch
outside the border of the forest allowed Sakura to scout were some of the
guards were.

After making sure her chakra was hidden, Sakura activated
her eyes to find where they were located. She found one located at each gate
that was within her vision. Deciding to take the direct route, she disappeared
from the branch. Approaching the guard station nearest her position, she walked
slowly towards the guard and dispelled her transformation jutsu. When the guard
saw this he went to sound the alarm until a soft, bell like noise reached his
ear. He looked into her emerald eyes and the bell sound turned into a soft,
female voice humming. He couldn’t fight the pull any longer and started to fall
towards the ground. Sakura rushed towards the guard and caught him in her arms
and gently laid him on the ground next to a tree.

When she was done she took off into the forest to find her
teammates. She just needed to avoid everyone.

After looking for about an hour and not having any luck, she
stopped on a tree branch to summon one of her dogs. Biting her thumb, she smeared
the blood on top of her left wrist and preformed the summoning jutsu. When the
smoke cleared, standing at her feet was Pakkun.

“Hello Pakkun, how are you and your brothers doing?” asked
Sakura as she knelt down to pet the small dog. This would be her first test to
see if she would still have a bond with her summons or not. She hoped she still
did because she wasn’t looking forward to earning all their trust again.

Pakkun looked up at the girl that had summoned him and was
petting him. ‘How did she summon me and know about my brothers? Kakashi is
the only one who has signed our contract and if another had, he would have told
me,’ Pakkun wondered as he enjoyed his petting. She was rubbing just in the
right spot behind in left ear; that was his feel good spot. “Okay kid, why did
you summon me, and how did you summon me when Kakashi is the only one with the
signed contract?”

“Well Pakkun, that’s a real easy question to answer! My name
is also on the contract and I know the hand signs. Pakkun... listen. I really
don’t have long to talk, but I need your help finding someone. But, if this
will help you in trusting me then fine,” said Sakura as laid her hand on his
head and focused some chakra into her eyes she had him look into them. In her
world, she showed him their past together and who she was, but didn’t show him
all of their history—just the parts where Kakashi gave her the scroll and her
walks with Pakkun in the forest. Bringing him out of her world, she saw him
shake his head; she brought her eyes back to normal.

Pakkun couldn’t believe what he had seen, but he knew she
was telling the truth. If he trusted her before, then he would do so again. He
wouldn’t tell Kakashi; just the other dogs. Pakkun looked up at her and nodded
his head, letting her know that he understood her and he would follow her
orders. Sakura smiled in thanks.

“Ok, Pakkun, I know Kakashi had you memorize his teammates'
scents in case they were taken hostage and needed you to find them. I need you
to show me where the members of Team 7 are,” Sakura ordered quickly, waiting
for him to lead the way. When Pakkun nodded his head, he smelled the air in
different directions until he found the scents of Team 7. He jumped off of the
tree and headed in the direction she was headed in, Sakura followed behind.
Following Pakkun, she brought a little chakra to her ears like Kiba taught her
to enhance her hearing. She didn’t want to be surprised by anyone if they tried
to sneak up on her and the little pug.

Pakkun ran towards the direction of the scent of Team 7, but
there was a strong scent of blood in the air. And it seemed to get stronger as
they got closer to Team 7’s location.

“Lady Sakura, we will be approaching them soon, but there is
a smell of blood in the air. It seems to be coming from all three of them, but
mainly Jada.” When they finally got to the scene, it was what they both had
feared once he had mentioned blood in the air.

Sakura looked at the scene as memories came back of her time
in the exams. Naruto was pinned to a tree with a kunai; Sasuke was lying on the
ground in pain grabbing his neck. He must have just gotten the curse mark just
a while ago, and the girl... She was dead, with a kunai through her stomach.
Sakura guessed that the genjutsu of her death was too much to face and must
have killed herself. ‘At least I didn’t do that,’ thought Sakura, as she
changed her appearance to that of the girl Jada. Pushing her body under some
shrubs where it wouldn’t be found for a while, she turned to look at Pakkun.
“Thanks, I owe you one.” Pakkun just nodded his head and puffed away. Sakura
walked over towards Sasuke and kneeled down next to him and held him. He fought
it at first, but finally he just stopped when he passed out. Sakura looked up
at the sky and prayed that she could pass as this Jada person, but not be as
horrid as her. They needed to get through these exams, but to do that; they
needed to be a team.

Sakura listened and couldn’t hear anyone near her yet, so
she was still safe for the time being. She needed to get the boys to shelter,
set the traps, and take care of their wounds all before those Sound ninjas
appeared. Putting Sasuke over her shoulder, she jumped near the branch that
Naruto was stuck to and freed him. Lifting him up and placing him on her other
shoulder, she took off to find shelter with the boys. Only traveling about a
quarter of a mile she found the same hollowed out tree as she did last time.
Placing both boys on the ground she got to work. First she set the traps, just
like she did last time. Even if they didn’t work, they would serve their
purpose. Once she was done she went to gather water to keep Sasuke’s fever
down, since it needed to run its course. The curse mark needed to take over his
body; she just hoped Jada could convince him to change back. Walking back to
the camp, she started to hear the silent approach of ninjas. It had to be
Sound.

So they were finally going to show themselves soon. Looking
up into the sky she remembered that they wouldn’t attack for a couple more
hours, which was a ways away. Getting back to the boys she quickly healed their
wounds and decided to get a little rest before the party started.

Faking sleep was not hard; it was trying not to attack those
noisy pests. She decided it was time to change the cloth on Sasuke’s forehead
for a cooler one. She replaced the fabric quickly.

Sitting back down, she awaited their trap and it was at that
moment that the squirrel came out of the bushes. It was time for the act to
begin and play her part. Surprised, Jada threw the kunai at the squirrel to
stop it from tripping one of her traps. When the squirrel turned around and ran
off she exhaled her held breath. Falling asleep again she waited for them to
make their presence known. She only had to wait a couple of minutes before they
would attack and she would take this time to plan ahead if anything went wrong.

Everything did go according to plan and played out just like
it did in her world. Rock Lee battled Dosu (but didn’t say he loved her), she
cut Jada’s hair, battled Zaku, and Team 10 appeared
and fought the three. Before Team 10 appeared, Ino watched as Jada cut her
hair, and she swore she would NEVER cut it. As the battle progressed Ino felt
that this was a different Jada then before, maybe taking this test changed her.
Ino felt compelled to help the girl and no matter how hard she tried to deny
it, the feeling became stronger. It was during Team 10’s battle that Sasuke
woke up and demanded to know who caused Jada all of her injuries. He broke
Zaku’s arms and was about to fight Dosu, when Jada ran towards his back and
wrapped her arms around him. Jada hugged Sasuke and was crying.

Sasuke would normally throw Jada off of him, but it was
something in her eyes that stopped him. They seemed to show mainly pain, but it
was the understanding that stopped him. Understanding of what; but he didn’t
think of it too long because the curse mark started to recede and it exhausted
him.

When everyone was out of danger, Sakura finally felt better
about things. Ino cut more of her hair to even it out and Sakura watched Neji
and his team. This Neji wasn’t hers and he wouldn’t be for quite a while. This
Neji still hated his cousin for something she couldn’t control and never really
wanted. Naruto would show him the light and he would learn that destiny could
be changed. Neji back then was a jerk, but he would learn his lesson from
Naruto later. Naruto would help shape him into the man she fell in love with,
but now he was too young. She was sixteen and he was just thirteen, but she
would always have those memories. She just wished that the baby would have
lived because it was theirs, but there was nothing she could do. She would mourn
more when she was by herself.

Sakura was happy that everything went according to plan and
happened just like it did in her world. She just hoped that no one asked
questions about why she was different. ‘Well, if they ask, I’ll just tell
them that she decided to grow up. This part of the exams opened my eyes,’ Sakura
mumbled as she watched the last of the other team members leave their campsite.
Now all she had to do was not kill Kabuto when she saw him again. That task
would test her patience and she would have to be on guard to not let hers down.
She couldn’t afford to mess up now.

Team 7 met up with Kabuto and they helped each other get the
rest of the way through the forest. On more than one occasion she had to stop
her self from killing the bastard; he was so close, but yet so far away. The
boys from Team 7 just chalked her weird behavior up to her being mental. They
just assumed Zaku’s hits had caused some brain damage. Not that they were
complaining, because now she wasn’t so loud and annoying. Once they departed
from Kabuto’s presence, she felt better knowing that soon, his true allegiance
would be known. Once they summoned Iruka from the Heaven and Earth scrolls and
got their instructions they headed to meet the remaining groups.

Sakura was walking on cloud nine, because her team had past
the exams so now all she had to do was hopefully battle Ino. Walking behind the
two boys she turned her enhanced hearing off because there was just too much
noise around them. She didn’t know how Kiba could manage those enhanced senses.
Sakura couldn’t wait to see Akamaru again and know that he was alive. They all
were alive.

She had a hard enough time not crying tears of joy when she
saw Team 10 and Rock Lee’s teammates. Soon Sakura would be facing everyone.
Sakura smiled because she knew that she would finally see all her friends
again, but could she handle it?

‘Yes, I can! I will make sure that their futures are
bright even if it kills me,’ thought Sakura, resolved on this issue, while
running to catch up to the two boys.

Authors Note:

We’re really rolling in this chapter. Sorry about not
writing out the whole battle with Jada’s character
and the journey through the forest. Cherry BlossomUchiha
and I figured that people would just skip or skim over it. Well, now people can
picture what she looks like, and if people want to create pictures for this
story, they are welcomed.
