Chapter 1- left behind

They left me behind. I was all alone, how could they just leave without saying goodbye? I expected this from Sasuke but not from Naruto. The hole they left in my heart cannot be filled by anything. Weak, weak, weak was all that went through my head as I stumbled into my house that I inherited from my parents after they were killed another stab of pain went through my heart remembering how I was too weak to save them and watched as they lay unmoving in a pool of blood, and how I wasn't strong enough that my friends left me without a single word. Well no more I thought I stood wiping my tears furiously from my face determined to get stronger and prove to those idiots and everyone who underestimated me that Sakura Haruno does not stand for being named a weak kunoichi.

I jumped from roof to roof heading straight for the Hokage's tower when Ino's team caught my eye they looked so happy I thought bitterly , my team was never like that anyway I have to concentrate I told myself as I finally went in through Tsunade s window without a sound like a panther when it's stalking its pray.

"Tsunade-sama."I said

"Sakura! What are you doing here at 11 o'clock at night? I don't need any more stress all I need is sake god dammit!" she replied irritated with the disruption, her hand flying at 50 mph to get her paper work done . I bravely in a monotone replied,

"I'm leaving!"

"What! Y-y-you c-can't "she stuttered frozen and dumfounded.

"Tsunade-sama please give me your permission to leave for 5 years to train and travel to get stronger to prove those fools they shouldn't have left me." I replied.

"Okay, Haruno Sakura since you have been my apprentice you have become a daughter to me I expect you at the gates at exactly 8 o'clock 5 years from tomorrow make sure you come back before you leave to say goodbye that's an order !" said Tsunade-sama biting back the tears with a determined expression.

"Gotcha shishou and thanks 'mum'." I replied expressing the word mum

I walked forward to her table and embraced her in a hug that I never wanted to end. Finally after a minute of comfortable silence I reluctantly let go missing the warmth of my shishou. I slipped out through the window quietly as I did before my mind made up. I wandered around the town wandering whom to say goodbye to tomorrow when I realised where my feet had led me I faced my parents graves. Kneeling down in front of the graveyard is silently let out a sigh of sorrow and vowed,

"I promise when I return I will make you the proudest parents!"
