Sakura Haruno was a very interesting 5-year-old girl.
Tsunade sighed, looking down at her little daughter in frustration. She had watched a program on T.V. about the lives of people in third world countries and now she refused to have anything for her birthday. She gritted her teeth in frustration, and slammed down the clipboard down. Patients and doctors scurried away, knowing not to bother the fierce woman when she was enraged.
She turned to her loyal assistant in her time of need.
"SHIZUNE!"
The frightened nurse burst through the doors, flushed and breathing like she had run a marathon.
"Y-yes m-m-milady?" she gasped out, leaning on the door frame. Tsunade responded delicately, and with very much gentleness and care.
"WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THAT WHINY LITTLE BRAT!?"
Shizune, knowing everything that goes on with her mentor and her daughter, shifted nervously.
"Ah, well, there is ONE thing I thought of…"
As Sakura ripped open the envelope, she felt curious. She had told Mommy Tsunade that she hadn't wanted anything, but when she woke up this morning, the brightly colored envelope had laid on her red desk when she woke.
So naturally, she ripped it up in a fury of excitement.
As the last of the envelope fell to the ground, she stared at the card.
It was a shiny card, with a picture on it. The picture was of a boy, around her age and what she saw brought tears to her little eyes.
The boy's eye were a dull black, looking blankly at the camera, not a spark of life left. He had messy black hair, reaching almost mid-back. She carefully read the writing.
Name: Itachi
Info: An orphan, family massacred in war.
Age: 7
Sakura flipped to the next picture, as there was a stack of them, wondering what massacre meant.
This boy had light blue skin, odd, and matted dark blue hair. His eyes were a gold, dull like the first boy, Itachi. His card said:
Name: Kisame
Info: Orphan; Experimented on by Dr. Orochimaru
Age: 8
Fighting a shiver, her pudgy child-like hands traded it for the next card.
This boy had his face lit up in a smile, his black hair spiked in a way that would have made Sakura giggle. What stopped her though, was the bloody bandage covering his one eye. The other was blood-red.
Name: Tobi
Info: Orphan; left eye lost in bombing
Age: 6
And another, a boy, again, with what looked like a tan on one half of his body, the other pale and unscarred. He had forest green hair and the oddest glowing gold eyes. They were narrowed in hate, though.
Name: Zetsu
Info: Orphan; rare skin disorder; split personalities
Age: 7
The next boy had the loveliest violet eyes, and silver hair. He would have looked like a fairy with his pale skin if he wasn't covered in blood and frowning fiercely.
Name: Hidan
Info: Orphan; diagnosed as insane
Age: 6
Sakura frowned. he hadn't looked that insane in the photo…She shrugged and flipped to the next.
Tan skin was sewed together in multiple places, like it was all that held him together. Electric green eyes starred back at her through a mop of black hair.
Name: Kakuzu
Info: Orphan; found severely wounded and tied up
Age: 8
Sakura fought back tears. How she wished she could help these boys, she was lucky enough to have a home and family, even if Uncle Jiraiya would always grab her Mommy's butt. Why couldn't they?
The crimson hair of the next boy is what caught her eye as soon as she flipped to the next card. He had brown eyes, bored and half closed, like he was fighting sleep.
Name: Sasori
Info: Orphan; suffers from faulty heart
Age: 6
Sakura was curious to what that meant. Did he have a boo-boo on his heart?She tucked his card in with the others.
This boy had long blond hair, part of it falling into his right eye, the visible eye a silver-gray color. A little square of bandage poked out from under his hair where his eye was.
Name: Deidara
Info: Orphan; legally blind (one eye)
Age: 6
The last boy had a shock of orange hair, and had most of his face wrapped in bandages. His eyes were violet, but were ringed and got darker the further in they went, and they were the only part of his face visible. The bandages were splotched with blood.
Name: Pein
Info: Orphan; abusive parent(s) impaled face multiple times
Age: 8
Sakura was sobbing by the time she finished reading the cards, and her little compassionate heart couldn't understand why these boys had been hurt so badly.
When warm arms wrapped around her, she turned and wept into her Mommy's chest. After several minutes of soothing her, Tsunade started to speak.
"These boys are the sole children in the Akatsuki treatment plant in Amakagure, were a civil war is raging. All the other children had been taken by family and friends, but these kids have no one to go back to." Tsunade started, patting her daughter's head as she wailed harder. "So I've decided, for your birthday this year, we're going to sponsor them." Tsunade pause. 'do you know what that means?"
Sakura sniffled, pulling away.
"N-no…"
"It means, that we will send them some money each month to them to keep them healthy and safe, and when the war finally ends, we can bring them here, to start a new-uff!" Tsunade grunted as her only child tackled her with unnatural strength.
"Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, than-!" the screaming girl was cut off by Tsunade slapping a hand over her mouth.
"Why don't you go write a letter to send with the check?" she suggested.
Sakura squealed, and in seconds, she was sitting at the table, pen in hand and scratching furiously at the paper.
Tsunade chuckled.
"I am such a genius!"
Dear Akatsuki,
I hope it's okay I call you that, it's easier to write to all of then to write each of you separately.
My name is Sakura Haruno, and me and my Mommy will be sponsoring you until the war is over, than you can come to Konoha and live with us! I'm so excited to have somebody to talk to! I'm turning 6 years old today, my favorite color is red and I have a best friend named Ino, although she can be a meanie sometimes.
Sakura turned to Tsunade, and asked,
"Is it okay if I send something to them?" Her mother nodded.
" You can write whatever you want, and we can get it and send it to them as soon as possible" Sakura looked at the ground, than back at her mother.
"What about fixing their boo-boo's?" The woman smiled.
"Of course!"
And guess what? I'm gonna give each of you something since I don't know when your birthdays are! Here's a list!
Deidara: My mommy has a friend down there who's an eye doctor and she can fix up your eye for you!
Sasori: My mom says you need heart surgery, so her doctor friend will do that for you too!
Itachi: I got you some dango, cause you look like you'd be someone with a sweet tooth like me.
Kisame: It's a shark stuffed animal, he's blue and awesome, just like you!
Kakuzu: I found this really cool mask, and I think it'll make you look like a ninja, or maybe a bounty hunter!
Hidan: I few years back I got this really cool necklace from my uncle he told me to give it to one of my friends cause he knew I love giving gifts, and hate necklaces. Guess that's you!
Tobi: Here's an eyepatch for when the bandages come off, I really hope it gets better soon.
Zetsu: I thought you would be a plant person so here's a venus fly trap, I'm sure it'll look great in your room!
Pein: I saw your picture and I'm really sorry you got so hurt, so here's a fairy tale book to read when you hurt, it's called The Tale of the Tailed Beasts by Kyuubi Kurama!
Anyways, I reallllllly hope you guys all enjoy the gifts!
Love,
Sakura
Alright! First post!
So Sakura is basically supporting the Akatsuki (AU) because she has such a big heart. I really think they didn't show that enough in the series, and her team and friends never really appreciated her enough so I've decided to have that remeded~!
I don't really know any concrete parings yet so if you have an opinon, please review and leave what YOU think the pairing should be.
Madara/Obito is a no-go because I prefer plain ol' Tobi instead!
PWEASE REVEIW!
