Minna-san!

Happy New Year everybody! It's 2009 and I'm ready to roll! What your 2009 resolution? I would love to know! Mine would probably be to keep a steady update in all my stories! Well, here's the story! The first chapter is going to be a bit boring because it is just going to explain the mission, but the next chapter will get more exciting!

Summary: "Our twins from another dimension are planning to take over this realm? We need to warn everyone? We need to warn our enemies? But that means…And we need to all team up and fight the baddies together? What do you mean, not 'we'? You mean, I need to recruit them alone?" –Sakura/Akatsuki –Sakura Centric –Need your opinion for the pairings.

With Sakura

The busy footsteps of the Konoha Hospital clattered as the hospital got more and more crowded. You could hear the nurses' stressed voices urging the endless amount of injured villagers and ninja to settle down. All through the hallway, you hear the beeping sounds coming from the machines just behind the doors connected to the openings. Voices of distress and anger rushed on as a machine that provides the injured people stopped beeping. Towards the end of the first floor hallway, a young, brunette, nurse around the age of 20 stopped in front of a hospitalized room and knocked quickly.

"Sakura-chyan! There's someone at the door!" yelled a voice from behind said door.

"Hai, Naruto! I heard! Just be quiet, your already badly hurt as it is!" Hushed a voice by the name of Sakura, "Hai, come in!"

Hearing the approval of entering, the brunette stepped in and placed a tray with medical herbs on the counter next to the bed.

"Sakura-san, here are the medicine that you asked me to bring", the brunette offered. Then she focused her glance at the boy named Naruto. "Sakura-san, he looks pretty beaten up. Are you sure you can heal him with just these basic herbs?"

Sakura, without stopping bandaging Naruto, spoke in a matter-of-fact voice, "Of course! Well, only if you know how to add them up and which procedure to mix them in! Don't worry Yuri-san, you'll figure out the combinations soon," encouraged Sakura.

Yuri sighed then said, "That's what we all expect from our Medical Nin Leader. I should really study more if I want to ever surpass you, which is highly unlikely—".

"Like that will ever happen! Sakura-chan is the best there possibly is! No one can surpass her! So don't bother!" Naruto's voice interrupted.

Yuri's face turned down, "Really…You're probably right, I can't ever surpass her…"

They all forgot that Sakura was still there; until she made a comment…err…threat, "Naruto…!" You could see the steam coming out of her head. "NARUTO YOU BAKA!"

Before Naruto could have a chance to run, well, attempt to defend himself, Sakura punched him in the air through 3 floors, and it seems, that he pummeled an old lady in the hooters.

Then the old lady grabbed Naruto's head and swung him back down the large hole coincidentally the shape of Naruto's body.

"Ooooh…" Sakura and Yuri gasped in awe. Naruto was badly injured and any more damage to his body could cause him to quit being a ninja but, it seemed as though he was still alive and Sakura had some unfinished business.

"Ugh…" Naruto's head drooped down and several big, round bumps appeared on this head. "Sakura-chan…" Naruto anime-cried. "I-I'm sorry Sakura-chan! I'm sorry!" Naruto quickly came to senses as he realized that Sakura was glaring at him.

Sakura put on the sweetest smile on her face and said, "That's okay Naruto-kun, I'll forgive you."

Everybody in the village knew about Sakura's play-smile. She learned it from Sai. But, as always, Naruto's the last one to catch on.

"Really? Yay! Then you won't mind if I asked you to feed me?"

"Sure."

"Wow! You know, I like you better like this! Back to the fruit, I would like apples, oranges, pears, grapes, che—". That's when Sakura finally gone berserk, and smashed her fist in his jaw.

With Sakura's Mother

"Please tell me that there is some other way!" cried a middle-aged mother at the Hokage's Tower. "She really doesn't deserve this!"

A beautiful blond with brown eyes sat at the Hokage's desk with both her hands crossed together, under her chin. She was talking to a woman that looked desperate. She wore commen female villager clothing which was a light, blue robe wrapped around her body with normal, brown, sandles.

"I'm really sorry Ms. Haruno, but our ancestors gave us the warning. The 18 generation of the Haruno Clan in the Leaf Village must take this role. Our village—no our whole entire world depends on it. I wish we could give the amulet to someone else...but, it will only accept her." The Hokage bit her bottom lip hard, causing a single tear of blood to drip. "It will also be good for her training."

"Good for her training?!" the woman cried. "Tsunade-sama, please hear me out! She could get killed! You don't know what she's up against! The parallel world is different then ours. She doesn't know a thing! And a battle was just displayed! I'm sure she's beat with all those patients!" The women finished off with two slams on the desk.

"I'm sorry but what has to be done, must be done!" Bellowed back Tsunade. "This is her duty as a ninja. This is her Prophecy! If she doesn't agree, there will be terrible consequences! I'm sure you don't want your only daughter to suffer!"

The woman felt her knees weaken and she fell down on her knees and began to weep. She clasped her hands over her face and mumbled, "If I knew of this sooner, I wouldn't have had a child."

Tsunade suddenly felt a rush of sorrow for this women. True, she never had a child, but she could feel how the mother was feeling. "I am really, truly, sorry." Tsunade got up and walked over to the mother. She crouched down until they were at the same eye level and patted her back, "Well, we have to go with the life our ansestors told us. Are you ready?"

The woman stopped weeping for she knew what was coming next. She looked up at Tsunade and they met eyes, "Yes, I don't care about me, but I'm afraid what she'll say. She really doesn't deserve this..." The woman ended and began to sob again.

"Well, lets get this over with. I promise it won't hurt a bit. Just minor dizziness." Tsunade got up and led the woman out of the room. "Remember, you have only 1 hour."

When they were just out of the door, Tsunade paused. "How long have you been standing there Shizune?"

The woman gasped and turned her head quickly to the left. She hadn't noticed that a young woman was standing there...holding a pig.

The woman named Shizune turned from worry to sheepishness. "He, he...For the whole conversation..." Shizune hung her head in shame. "Oink..." The pig she was holding did the same.

Instead of fury Shizune had expected, Tsunade just 'Hn'ed and turned to walk, leading the mother to their destination.

Shizune peeked at the woman and said, to try to comfort her, "It's alright, we will take good care of her." The woman heard and turned to give her a small smile. "Thank you", was all she mumbled.

'I feel so sorry for her...' Shizune thought to herself, 'Tsunade-sama, good luck, I'm counting on you.'

With Sakura

After beating up the now, totally beat Naruto, Sakura decieded to make a quick run to her house to pick up some weaponry and medicine. After all, there were many patients that are in need to take care of.

Just recently, a group Leaf Nin was spotted dead a few kilometers from the village. Sakura, Naruto, Neji and Lee were assigned to go check out the mystery. All of the clues leaded to the Akatsuki, so the group quickly ran back to the village to warn about a battle that might just happen. And they were right.

3 days later, the Akatsuki attacked destorying tens of buildings, killing hundreds of villagers, and injurded thousands of villagers. Naruto was one of the ones who got majorly injured. After a few hours, Konoha was losing too much, so we decieded to call for help from Suna. They accepted willingfully, well, of course! Konoha had helped them many times before!

With the help of the Suna nin, we finally managed to ward them off. We didn't kill them all, no. But at least the village is safe.

Right now, everybody is working extra hard to repair the village and the Konoha Hospitals are crowding up, a little by a little. And Sakura is the head (besides Tsunade-shishou of course) that has to order everything. But, Sakura did ask a few friends to help organize everything.

Neji, our jounin who is resposible for helping the Hokage with paperwork. Tough luck. Shikamaru, our lazy-ass pineapple head chuunin, responsible planning out our new attack/defend strategies in case they attack again. Ino, our medical nin, to take over Sakura's duty while she's doing something else. And Sai, our ANBU, assigned to take charge of the repairs of the village.

Sakura finally reached her average sized house and got in. She ran over to the cupboard and refrigarator and got herself a little snack. Granola bars and milk. How original.

After enjoying her snack, she ran up the stairs to start collecting the medicine she needed. She was about to enter her room when she heard a groan from her parents room. (A.N. Sakura's dad passed away.)

'Gulp, is there someone in my mom's room? She's suppose to be at work right now.' Sakura felt a rush of terror. Was there an intruder in the house? The intruder was sure to notice that Sakura was in the house by the noise she made. 'Come on Sakura! You're the best konoichi in the village other than Tsunade-shishou. You shouldn't be scared! MOVE!' Sakura got over her fright and rushed up to the room. She took out her poison-dipped senbon and broke down the door. What Sakura saw made her drop her senbon and run towards the bed.

The bed contained an almost dead person. When Sakura got a better look at the figure, she gasped loudly. It was her mother.

"Mom! What happened? Why aren't you at the hospital? Who did this to you?!" Sakura's loud voice reached her mother's ears. "Mom! Speak to me!" Quickly, Sakura searched for her mom's hands and clenced them tight.

Her mother opened her eyelids slowly, feeling the warmth of Sakura's hand. "S-sakur-ra. I-is that y-you?" Her mother slipped out of Sakura's grasp and with difficulty reached up to Sakura's face and rubbed her cheeks. She felt a tear burning onto her skin. Then another.

"S-sakura...I'm s-so s-sorry you h-had to s-see me like this-s." Her mother gave a quick smile and dropped her hand from Sakura's face.

"No! MOM! Don't talk! I'll take to to the hospital!" Sakura yelled with a gesture to help her get up.

Her mom shook her head and spoke, "It's no use Sakura, I only have a f-few minutes left..." She broke off with a long cough. When she saw that Sakura was about to say something, she hushed her and said, "Sakura, please don't speak...this is urgent...I must tell you something..."

Sakura still couldn't believe it, but she was going to obey her mother's last request. Sakura slowly nodded allowing her mother to speak.

"Well, I can't tell you much, you'll have to figure it out yourself but I can tell you some things..." Again, she coughed. "Sakura, my dear, have you ever heard of an alternatite dimension? Where there are people that looks just like us, but somehow...different?" Her mother asked.

Sakura pondered for a bit. "Naruto told me someting like that once, but that's just child play right?"

Her mother frowned at this. "No Sakura, I believe your friend Naruto is right. There is such thing as an alternite dimension." Sakura gasped. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you my cherry blossom, your destiny is to cancel that dimension from existing, or at least compromise." Her mother thought for a moment, trying to get over the fact that Sakura was looking as anxious as ever. "You see, that dimension doesn't like the idea of sharing our power. Both our dimensions rely on one power source, the sun and the moon. And the sun and the moons power, we share. But that dimension wants more power, they crave for strength. That's why they decieded to try to delete our world. And we need to stop that from happening." Sakura's mother ignored the gasps here and there. "And Sakura...Oh I wish there was another way. You really don't deserve this..."

Sakura forgot all about the promise she made her mom a few minutes ago, "Deserve what? Tell me!"

Her mother glanced at the pillow beside her. Hesitently, she removed a beautiful, gold encrested amulet. "This amulet is called 'The Tsura of Dimensions. It has a strange power that many people want. You can use it to transport yourself and your friends whom you want to transport back and forth between the two worlds." Her mother took the amulet and hung it around Sakura's neck. "You must not let this amulet go into the wrong hands my child. For it will cause disaster upon both worlds and it may even destroy the sun and the moon."

Sakura tensed as she thought about this. 'It may cause disaster upon both worlds and it may even destroy the sun and the moon. That's horrible! So, does that mean I have to protect this all by myself? And if I make one mistake, I could destory everything?!' Sakura looked at her mother again and asked her, "Do I have to do all this by myself? Can't I have more people to help me protect this? I mean, such a strong power should be protected right?"

"Yes, I was getting to that...you must settle your differences from friend to enemy, and fight as one to stop this madness. And I will tell you who you need help from...Listen well child for I will only repeat this once." She cleared her throat.

"First, find the 10 people who are like brothers and sisters to you. Learn to trust one another with your life, because that will definatly come in handy.

"Second, you need to find the adults who have taught you everything, who had helped you on your missions. And trained you when you were only an Academy Student. For these adults have the knowledge and skills to help you.

"Third, track down and locate a sly snake, there may be two of them, and use their help as well. For their cunning techniques will help your future battles.

"And fourth, you must befriend and learn to accept a group of people, living underground, who wears black and bears red clouds. These people know secret jutsus to uncovering the mystery behind all of this. They may be the most important."

Sakura froze and tremered as she heard 'wears black and bears red coulds'. 'But that's...'
