Ruby: Hello! As you know I'm Ruby-chan. I'm just going to clear up some things about this story. Then on to the story! Well after the summary. Ok, first of all this'll be more leaning towards the manga story because that's all I've seen. Also that (Spoiler alert) Gaara was saved from Akatsuki. And if I miss anything or you get confused just tell me 'k! As for couples, secret! - Also even if this leans more to the manga side it won't be like all about that story I mean I will be explaining some things.

Summary: Two years ago Haruno Sakura left the Hidden Leaf Village. Two years later Tsunade-Hokage is holding a tournament for every ninja at least a Chuunin. The specialty about this tournament is that every ninja can join missing Nin or not. Now at the same time as the tournament was issued Haruno Sakura came back.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto :sob: Why do you think I this is called Fan fiction?


'bleh' thinking

"opps" talking

((Hello)) Authors note

Two years ago

She had always cried, to her it was away to let her emotions out. Rather it was for happiness, sorrow, pain but right now at this moment as she lay on the bed sobbing her heart out, it wasn't for happiness or pain, maybe not even sorrow.

Haruno Sakura was lying on her bed crying because of disappointment. 'My chance to show myself, I failed!' thought Sakura as she pressed her head to her pillow so her parents would not hear her sobbing.

Naruto, Kakashi, Gai, TenTen, Neji and her had come back from the mission to save Gaara. They had dropped him back at the Sand village. Everyone was happy but Sakura. She had left early from the party in the Sand Village to come back home and cry. It had been a week ago but it was still in her memory clear as crystal. The day she had failed to attack Itachi when he was vulnerable.

It had been two hours since Sakura had started crying. She had gotten home at 11:00pm and had gone to bed right away at 12:00am and started crying. 'Even with the training from Tsunade-sama I'm still weak! It's not fair!' she said as she got up and went to her window. She leaned out and let a sigh out.

She stopped crying as she looked at the moon. A plan struck her and in a week a smile finally flashed on Sakura's face. "Goodbye Kohna ((I think this is the name but I'm not sure, I was always confused))" she whispered.

Two days later

"Tsunade-sama I'm sorry we couldn't find Haruno-san." Said the ninja Tsunade had sent out to find her missing pupil. Naruto stood at the side of Tsunade's desk and frowned. Kakashi and he had visited to see if any news of Sakura was found. When the ninja left Tsunade turned towards her guest.

"I'm sorry I'm going to have to declare her a missing nin if she doesn't appear in 3 days" she told them sadness in her voice. Naruto looked infuriated and Kakashi looked emotionless but if you looked closely he had sadness on his face.

"Then let us find her!" said Naruto very determined. He saw Tsunade nod and marched out of the Hokage's room with Kakashi. But all of them knew that they would never find her and they didn't. So 3 days later Haruno Sakura, the sweet smart girl of the Hidden Leaf Village, was declared a missing nin.

Two years later

On the busy streets of the Hidden Leaf Village a single ninja made his way to the office of the Godaima. As he made his way into the office he held a letter from the guards at the gate about the arrivals that Tsunade had requested to know.

"Hokage-sama, I've got a letter from the guards at the gate." he said when he finally reached the office and stood in front of his superior. Not very surprising was it to see Tsunade sleeping on her desk to the ninja. He placed the scroll on her desk that said who had arrived.

Tsunade opened her left eye when she saw her messenger disappear out of the door. She picked up the scroll and opened it. "Naruto is back from his mission, I'm guessing he'll join of course." she mumbled sitting back in her seats.

Her eyes continued to skim the paper finding that the Hidden Sand Village had sent there people already. Her eyes finally rested on a name."Uchiha Sasuke" Tsunade put down the scroll and leaned back onto her chair. She sighed, she remembered the day she announced the tournament. Everyone was in an uproar about letting in every ninja.

Flashback!

Everyone wondered why their Hokage had called everybody in the Hidden Leaf Village into a meeting place. Everything was going smooth and most ninja teams where completing jobs faster. Everyone chatted talking excitedly.

"As you guys know I called you hear to tell you something very important." said Tsunade as she stood before them everyone quieted down. "Right at this moment, the other village is telling there ninja's about this too. I am holding a tournament here. You may ask why well it doesn't matter. Anyone can sign up if you are at least a Chuunin. Also the specialty about this tournament is that we will be having some ninja's from no village or some that aren't exactly a village."

The people of Kohna were silent for a moment then they broke out in protests, amazements, and whatever there emotion to what was happening. Tsunade gulped, she knew she was in for a lot of questioning. She slipped away to go back to her office. When she reached there she collapsed in her chair.

!End of Flashback!

She leaned on her desk and closed her eyes. Tsunade hadn't been getting any sleep at night and right now was a perfect time. So leaving the hard work of being the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village she drifted off into Dreamland. Unknown to her in less then 2 hours something absolutely amazing would happen.

A figure clad in a woolen poncho ((Think Hao's poncho thingy)) sat against the tree. The poncho also had a hood that covered the persons face. "Wow, I'm finally back." said the figure it's voice gave away that it was actually a girl.

She stood up and began walking to the gates. She continued even as the guards told her to stop. When the put there arms in front of her to block her was the only time she stopped.

"Who are you? What is your business?" said one of the guards he was the youngest out of the two guards. They eyed her suspiciously not trusting a figure in a poncho. "I have come to join the tournament, I am a missing nin." she told them. The elder guard looked at the younger and nodded stepping aside. They had gotten use to the ninja's coming in. A lot had come today.

The girl just nodded and walked in. She began her walk to the Hokage's office. She knew the Godaima was going to be amazed when she'd come in. She passed the working people down the stairs careful to hide her presence. She luckily didn't get caught as she slipped into the room. A brief smile crossed her face as she saw the great Godaima sleeping on her desk.

The girl walked over and whispered into Tsunade's ear "Wake up! It's time to greet your guest!" The girl drew back and walked back to a seat in front of Tsunade. She sat just as the Hokage's head snapped up. "Who the heck are you!" said Tsunade as she got up; she had been taken by surprise at how the mysterious figure entered without her sensing it.

The girl stood up too. "I'm surprised at you Tsunade-sensei not remembering your star pupil!" said the girl amusement in her voice. Suddenly a great wind past by coming through the windows it blew the papers away and the hood of the poncho. A beautiful face with familiar yet unfamiliar emerald eyes stared at Tsunade. Tsunade could do nothing but gape.
