Me:well hey ya, my other story, well I don't like how I wrote it, I rushed it too much. My other story became more of a job when I wanted to write my stories for fun, my grammar may be bad SO WHAT, and I will try to fix up some of my grammar but im not a professional author, okay so don't expect fancy writing. I won't be able to post chapters up 24/7, im sorry but I have work, school and a life. Look this isn't going to be exactly like Naruto or else the whole thing would be copyright. Okay and I don't want to have to write this in every chapter but… I DON'T OWN NARUTO

Sakura: b-but I want to do disclaimers (cries fake anime tears)

Me: look Sakura, im sorry to have to say this but… TOO BAD

Sakura: humph (sulks)

Me: fine go on, just for this chapter

Sakura: Yay, well –clears her throat- Hey, Lexy here does not own Naruto, and I would like to say THANK GOD FOR THAT

Me: excuse me

Sakura: eh jokes

Long time ago in Konoha, the Kyuubi was unleashed and it attacked the village, leaving great devastation amongst the village, buildings were destroyed and some shinobi lost their lives. The fourth hokage saved everyone's lives by sealing the demon inside his own daughter, Minato Namikaze died after sealing Kyuubi into Sakura, and Kushina Uzumaki (Sakura is now an Uzumaki and Naruto is now a Yamanka, he is Ino's twin so he can use mind jutsu and stuff)also passed away. Leaving their daughter orphaned, a tiny pink haired and green and blue eyed girl with a seal on her, the seal that was marked on her from the sealing of Kyuubi, the nine tail demon fox.

Sakura POV

"Filthy demon" a woman hissed out and moved her child away from me, the crowd of people all glared at me. Im only 8yrs old so what did I do to them, well don't ask me when I don't know the answer myself.

"Stay away from that monster" another man growled out well grabbing his sons hand and leading him away from me.

"Damn demon, someone should give that monster a good beating" I hear another man says angrily to another man.

My eyes go downcast and tears roll down my cheek as I walk on one side of the street alone because people had shifted to the other side to avoid me, but at least I didn't get a beating like I usually did. I make my way to the ninja academy, I have always wanted to be a ninja, so I can show people im not a monster, I can help them, save them and maybe one day, they will love me, they won't hate me like they do now, that I would have everyone loving me so I knew what love felt like, no one wanted to talk to me nicely other than ojisan, the hokage.

I walk into the academy gates to see other kids shifting away from me, like to say if I went near them they would suddenly catch the monster disease.

I walk into the classroom; some students are here but not much.

I move to the back and sat by the seat near the window, it had started raining and people outside were scramming to shelter.

"Hey look there's the monster girl, my daddy said she's a demon and that I shouldn't go near her" I hear Hinata Hyuga whisper to another group of people (in here Hinata is like Ino and Ino is Ino like still but she just didn't befriend Sakura) the group all look at me and glare.

"What are you looking at demon" Hinata growls out at me, she crosses her arms across her chest. I look away not wanting to get bullied today, especially since today was my birthday. The villagers today were mourning the lost of their beloved fourth hokage and the rest of the shinobi that died during an attack and today people always treat me worst after they have finished mourning.

"Hey demon, look at me your superior when im talking to you" Hinata hisses angrily, I look up at her and she smirks.

"Why are you here? Your to weak to be a shinobi and plus everyone hates you" Hinata says smugly, I would've cried if I wasn't use to this, it doesn't mean it didn't hurt, it just didn't hurt as much as it did before.

I was expecting more taunting until Sasuke Uchiha walked in with Naruto and Ino, she was blushing because Sasuke was near her, all the girls swarmed towards the Uchiha.

Iruka-sensei walked in and glared at me a little before teaching the class, but I was use to it, I knew he hated me. I quickly write down the notes so I could study it thoroughly afterwards. After school I quickly got ready for the beatings that were to come, as I strolled down the streets of Konoha I found most people glaring at me with pure hatred.

"Stupid brat, you should have been drowned as a baby" a woman yelled out, a group of adults then surrounded me. I flinch as a fist comes in contact with my face, hitting me with such force that I fell to the ground. The man who had hit me narrowed his eyes before picking me up by the scruff and standing me on my feet. A woman then kicked me hard in the stomach knocking the wind out of me but before I could fully react someone had punched me over and I went falling to the ground.

"You deserve this you filthy disgrace, you're nothing but a monster" a man screamed in my face as I was crouching the ground. The man then kicked me hard making me flinch, I knew I would get bruises because today they always hit me hard.

"Enough" I hear a shinobi say, ANBU men walk over dispersing the crowd of people who were beating me. I looked down, I pushed myself up, and I ran away. I ran to the only person I knew would be there for me. As I entered the hokage's office I see the hokage looking at me with sad eyes. Tears flooded in my emerald ones and I ran towards him and hugged his legs well crying.

"Shhh, little one" the hokage says, he sits on his seat and cradles me in his arms. I carry on crying into his neck as I flung my small bruised arms around his neck, hugging into him so I could feel safe.

I wept softly, my pain pouring out through my tears and the hokage rubs my back soothingly.

"Hokage-jisan w-why d-do p-p-people b-be m-m-mean t-t-to m-me, d-did I do something wrong, because I don't remember doing anything to them, if I did im very sorry" I say with sadness clear in my voice.

The hokage's eyes sadden and he sighs "You did nothing wrong Sakura" the hokage says and I look up at him with a look on my face that could break anyone's heart.

"But everyone hates me, I-I tried dressing up tidy today, I even brushed my hair nicely" I say truthfully, I had thought it was because of what I wore so I changed my outfit. Today I wore a nice looking red kimono with black tights underneath, and my hair I had put into a long braid.

-Unbeknownst to me Iruka-sensei was listening outside of the room, he had come to speak to the hokage but stopped going in when he heard voices, his heart broke as he heard the little girl sob inside, and he felt bad. It wasn't her fault she was only a baby when the attack had happened Iruka soon realized, and now she was only a confused 8yr old girl that didn't know what was going on around her.-

"I bet you would've looked nice today" the hokage says with a small smile, my tidy outfit had been ruined after I was beaten up.

"Now stand on the ground and I will heal those nasty bruises" the hokage says and I quickly nod and stand tall for him. He heals my bruises leaving me unblemished. A knock interrupted us and Iruka-sensei soon walked in and this time he didn't glare at me.

"Ah Iruka, what may I do for you?" the hokage asked, the hokage knew the whole time Iruka was there, and Sakura needed someone other than him so he had hoped Iruka would soften up to her.

Iruka eyed up the little pinkette and saw dirt smeared on her new outfit she had wore to try and get people to like her.

"Sorry hokage-jisan I'll go so you can do your hokage business" I say smiling up at him, I had to hide my sadness, I looked up to the hokage with admiration clearly seen in my eyes and I hug the hokage before walking out of the door.

INSIDE THE HOKAGE'S OFFICE

"Remarkable girl isn't she, most kids her age would be turning cold after there ordeal but she still smiles" the hokage says with admiration clear in his voice. Iruka nodded feeling a sharp pang in his heart; they called her a monster when they were acting like monsters with how they treated her.

"I know after losing your parents during the Kyuubi attack makes you dislike Sakura" the hokage then adds making Iruka feel guilty.

"It did" Iruka says truthfully, because he had hated her for that.

"You do understand she had no control over what happened, she was only an infant you see, an infant that saved our lives" the hokage comments.

"I didn't see pass the demon inside of her hokage-sama" Iruka says upset with himself, because he didn't see her as little girl earlier on when he hated her, no he saw her as a monster that took away his parents.

"No one does" the hokage murmured with sadness laced in his voice "but you must understand she is still an 8yr old girl" the hokage adds before finishing with "an 8yr old girl who has been alone her whole life, who has been mistreated and scorned"

Iruka looked down feeling ashamed of his actions "its hard to look pass the fact I lost my parents after the attack" Iruka says honestly.

"You weren't the only one who lost parents, she did too but you grew up with some parental love, Sakura doesn't know what its like to have parents or what its like to be loved by one, she's only young so she tries to earn attention by doing pranks because if she didn't she'd be thoroughly ignored other than the beatings she gets sometimes" the hokage says grimly and Iruka eyes sadden.

"She needs someone other than me Iruka, are you able to look pass the demon?" The hokage asked and Iruka looked up at him and nodded.

WITH SAKURA

As soon as I walked out, I made my way to the training grounds. People glared at me severely and my smile was wiped of my face.

"GO AWAY YOU MONSTER" a man yelled angrily and I quickly run towards the training grounds, not wanting another beating. As I get to the training grounds I pull out a kunai. I wanted to fix up my kunai throwing skills. I threw the kunai and it missed the bulls' eye.

I frown with disappointment before throwing another kunai, and I miss the bulls' eye once again.

"Flick your wrist and don't throw with too much force" I hear a voice say and I turn to see Iruka-sensei standing there in all his glory.

"Okay, thank you for your help Iruka-sensei" I say smiling softly before turning to the target. I pick up a kunai, and when I throw it I flick my wrist and I don't use as much force as I used before. The kunai whizzed towards the target and just missed the centre, but unlike my other throws it actually got near the middle. My eyes widen with glee and I smile graces my face and I turn to face Iruka "did you see that sensei, I nearly got it, I didn't miss by heaps like I usually do" I say happily but then my mood quickly switches "but everyone else at the academy can already do it" I say saddened. I look down 'No I wont ever quit, believe it and I will be the best that I can be, hell yea' I thought determined.

I turn around and narrow my eyes at the target, picking up a kunai I flicked my wrist as I threw it and I used a little more force than I did before and… I got the middle. My eyes widen in glee and I immediately jump up and down.

I turn to see Iruka smiling softly "Nice work Sakura" Iruka says nodding.

"Did you see that, I got it, I actually did it sensei" I chirp happily.

"Yes, yes you did Sakura" Iruka says smiling "to congratulate you why don't we get some ramen" Iruka asks hoping to redeem himself.

My eyes widen in surprise and I nod with a big grin on my face "Yay" I say and he smiles and we start walking of. As we walked down the streets of Konoha people glared at me again. I looked down ashamed because Iruka-sensei was starting to like me and I was getting another friend other than the hokage but they would remind Iruka to hate me. I feel a hand on my shoulder and I automatically flinch waiting to feel a fist, but I look up to see Iruka smiling down at me.

"Come on Ichiraku isn't far from here" Iruka says and I nod and smile.

As soon as we got there I sat on a stool and a lady smiled as she walked over "what would you like to order" the lady asked politely.

"I will have beef ramen please and Sakura…" Iruka says looking at me and I grinned.

"I would like beef ramen too please" I say grinning and she smiles and walks away to cook it I guess.

"Wow Iruka-sensei, I have never been to a place like this before" I say smiling happily.

"To a restaurant" Iruka asked raising an eyebrow

"Yea, I have never been to one" I say honestly, I start twiddling my thumbs; this was my first time with someone other than the hokage.

"What's your dream Sakura" Iruka asked curiously.

"I want to be just like hokage-jisan, I want to be hokage" I answer and Iruka looks shocked and he raises an eyebrow.

"Why?" Iruka asked interested and what I was going to say next.

"Because everyone loves the hokage and respects him, and he's the strongest shinobi in the village, I want to make everyone here love and respect me, I want to prove to them that… that im not a monster, I want to be hokage so I can fight to protect the village, and to have the villagers look up to me, I want to be the best shinobi I can be, to be the strongest so I can look after everyone, because if I look after everyone I will have a meaning" I say truthfully and Iruka nods with a smile on his face but then he looks at me.

"Meaning?" he says a little confused.

"Sometimes I feel like I have no right to be here in this world, like im nothing but a burden to hokage-jisan because he always has to look after me, because I have no meaning right now, I am nothing, but I want to have a important role in this world.. Because it hurts… to know that… im not needed in this world… that without a dream… im nothing but a burden… knowing that in this world… me being here isn't needed… it hurts…" I say with my eyes going downcast and tears' shining in my eyes and pain and sadness was laced in my voice. My hair bangs covered my eyes and face as I looked down and Iruka looked shocked but I continued "So I want to be hokage, so I can prove my worth, so I can have a meaning, so I can save people and help them, I want to be the strongest shinobi, I want to be needed, and I will be hokage when im older, and I will never give up on my dream, because my dream is the only thing I have to help me cling onto life, knowing that one day I will be needed, I will be the best and strongest hokage that ever existed, believe it" I say looking up with determination shining in my eyes and I wore a huge grin on my face. Iruka was more than shocked, he was way taken back by what I had said I could tell by the look he had on his face.

"That's a great dream Sakura" Iruka says now looking at the girl in front of him with great respect, she instead of hating the villagers for how they treated her wanted to help them, and he knew, Sakura Uzumaki would one day be a great hokage.

Ayame had been listening to Sakura, her eyes softened for the little girl, as she brought over their ramen she smiled at Sakura.

"Hey since I have the future hokage here in my presence your second bowl is free if you want one" Ayame says winking and then she walks away.

My eyes widen and I breathe in the sweet smell of ramen "Yum" I exclaim and quickly swallow down the ramen, Iruka blinks then he rubs his eyes because within a second the ramen is gone.

"THAT WAS THE BEST RAMEN I HAVE EVER TASTED" I exclaim with wide eyes. Ayame who had been watching from afar had her eyes wide and her mouth in agape.

"Can I have more please?" I ask politely and Iruka sighed suddenly feeling sorry for himself and his wallet.
