Sakura stared at the Ninja Academy, she bit her inner cheeks while observed her surroundings. She has no idea where she's supposed to go, fortunately, a teacher saw her and decided to help. A woman with brown hair that reached her shoulder-length, full bangs, and sharp black eyes walked up to a pink-hair girl, "Hello, my name is Kita, Noa and I worked here. Do you need help?" a kind woman smiles at Sakura.

The pink-hair girl nodded her head. "Hai. I'm new here… I'm supposed to be in room 205 with Yamada-sensei."

Noa smiles widely, "I see, I know where that is. That means you are my new student for the Kunoichi Class." She said she saw Sakura's confusion, "Once a week, we have a day separate between boys and girls. Boys take Shinobi's lessons while girls take Kunoichi's lessons. You will understand once you're in my class, okay? Oh, called me Noa-sensei, okay?" Sakura nodded her head. "Wonderful, now let me take you to your class." Noa helped Sakura to her class on her first day.

When they arrived in the Ninja Academy to the classroom where Sakura will be in, Noa knocked on the door and slid it open slightly, "Yamada-san, you have a new student."

"Ah, that's right… bring it here." A deep voice answered.

Noa smiles down at Sakura, "Good luck." She waved at the pink-hair girl and left her front of the door. Sakura gulped softly, she slides the door a little further, walked in and shut it behind her. Suddenly, she felt nervous once she felt all eyes on her. Sakura walk to Yamada-sensei, "Introduce yourself." Yamada-sensei said calmly.

Sakura turned her head to her classmates, "Umm… My name is Sakura. Please take care of me." She bowed politely. Then whispers heard that reach Sakura.

"What's up with the pink hair?"

"Did you see her weird eyes? What kind of eyes colors are they?"

"Never mind that, did you see her huge forehead?!"

"She looks weird."

Sakura frowned deeply, she felt irritated yet hurt that they were rude because of her unique appearance. Luckily, before it gets worst, Yamada glared at them to the point when the children quieted themselves. "Sakura, you may take a seat next to Mori, Sayuri. Mori-san, please raise your hand." Sayuri raised her hand and Sakura went to her seat next to the girl.

Sayuri has light brown eyes without pupils and brown hair which is tied into a bun with a red ribbon in it. Strands frame both sides of her face, handing over her ears from behind them. She is fair skinned, and she wears dark teal kimono dress, black leggings tucked into dark blue ninja sandals. She is a very pretty girl. She smiles politely at Sakura, "Hello, my name is Mori, Sayuri." Sayuri introduced herself in well-manner.

"Sakura." The pink-hair said with a shy smile as she couldn't help but feel like this girl is familiar to her. Sayuri just smiles and turned her attention on Yamada-sensei.

Sakura examined her surrounding quietly, there are quite many classmates who are around her age or so. Until her emeralds, speckled blue met sapphire eyes that belongs to a very pretty boy. He has spiky blond hair with jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face and sun-kissed tan skin. He wears a simple white suit of clothing with green trimmings and a hood. He tilted his head at her with interested and curious. Sakura slowly blushes at his intense stares then turned away to attempt to pay attention to Yamada-sensei.

The pink-hair girl glanced from the corner of her eyes back to the blonde-hair boy who turned his attention on the teacher as well. However, she wasn't interested because of his look, she is more curious about why he looks familiar to her when she never meets him before. Same with Sayuri, but not as strong as this boy though.

A small sharp pain appeared in her head, Sakura grimaced slightly as she reached her forehead and rubbed it gently. 'This is too confusing.' She mused in puzzled.

It's lunchtime, Sayuri turned to Sakura with a small yet warm smile on her face, "Would you like to join us?" she asked.

Sakura nodded her head, she stood up and followed Sayuri outside of the academy to the field where two girls are sitting in front of the window with bento lunches on the picnic blanket. "Girls!" Sayuri waves at her friends, "Meet Sakura." She introduced the pink-hair girl as she sits down next to her friends. "You can sit here, Sakura-chan." She pats the spot next to her.

Sakura sat down next to Sayuri while smiles shyly at two girls who stared at her. One of the girls who has black shoulder-length hair, brown eyes which are accentuated by orange markings at each corner, tan skinned, and she's a little bit chubby but adorable size. She wears a purple shirt, black pants, and simple blue sandals. She smiles kindly at Sakura, "My name is Ueda, Aimi."

"Wakao, Yoshino." Yoshino said, she has long, dark brown hair in a low ponytail with three strands framing her face, fair skin, and dark eyes. She wears a dark red blouse, blue shorts, and blue sandals.

Sayuri glanced around, "Where's Mikoto-chan?" she asked with a curious frown.

Yoshino sighed, "She told me that she has to drop off the bento to Uchiha." She grumbled softly. Sayuri nodded her head understanding. Aimi noticed Sakura's grimaced with pain eyes while she was rubbed her forehead.

"Are you okay. Sakura-chan?" Aimi asked with concerned. Two girls turned to Sakura with worried. Sakura lifted her head from her hands and smiles at them.

"Hai, just slight headaches." Sakura assured them.

Jogging footsteps heard, "Sorry I'm late!" a girl quickly arrived toward them, she has long straight black hair with bands hanging on either side of her face too roughly frame her cheeks, black eyes, and fair-skinned. She wears a simple dark purple blouse, black knee-length leggings, and dark blue shinobi sandals. She sits next to Yoshino and saw Sakura, "Oh, hello! I remember that your name is Sakura-chan, right?" Sakura nodded her head, "Nice to meet you, my name Uchiha, Mikoto." Mikoto smiles at her.

"Nice to meet you too." Sakura bowed politely.

Yoshino narrowed her eyes at Mikoto, "Where's that crazy red-head chick?" she asked with curiosity.

Mikoto raised her eyebrows with disapproving eyes, "Her name is Kushina-chan, and she won't join us today because she has a meeting with a teacher." She explained.

Aimi frowned, "She's not in trouble, is she?"

Mikoto lined her lips which Yoshino snorted while Sayuri sighed softly. Sakura just stared at them in awkward yet confused. Sayuri turned to Sakura, "You probably haven't seen her yet, but after lunch, you will notice her. She has red hair, which is a bizarre color." She blinked as she noticed Sakura's hair color, "Although your hair color is a bit more bizarre but fitting for you." She doesn't want to hurt pink-hair girl's feelings, "Anyways, her name is Uzumaki, Kushina and she is a troublemaker. She's also known as Red-Hot Habanero because people made fun of her hair color." Sayuri explained.

Mikoto turned to Sakura, "We heard other said rude things to you. Ignore them. You look really cute." She complimented Sakura.

Sakura smiles at kind-heard Uchiha, "Thank you."

Yoshino swallowed her food, "So, where are you from?"

Pink-hair girl frowned, "I…don't remember."

"Oh, then do you live with your family?" Aimi asked.

Sakura shook her head, "Iie, I'm an orphan."

"I'm sorry!" Aimi apologized but Sakura just shook her head with a smile.

Sayuri tilted her head, "I do hope that I'm not pressuring you this, but when you said that you don't remember, do you have issues with memories?"

"Sort of? Last week, the doctor told me that I have a brain fog, I can't remember everything. It's too blurry for me. But he did say that I'll have my memories back someday. I just don't know when, though. It could be weeks, months, or even years." Sakura explained.

Mikoto's eyes soften, "Well, we hope you'll get your memories back. If not, it's okay because now, you can gain new memories!" she said happily.

"That's right." Yoshino nodded her head agreed along with Aimi and Sayuri.

Sakura beamed at them, "Thank you."

"How old are you?" Yoshino asked with curious because Sakura seems tiny compared to the girls.

"Eight."

The girls stared at Sakura with surprised, "Wow, most of us in class are nine or ten years old. I think you are one of the youngest in our class." Sayuri said. "It's not a bad thing, it shows that you are a smart girl." She said with a smile.

"If that's true, then you might as well be the number one smartest Kunoichi in our year." Yoshino said then narrowed her eyes, "If you beat Domoto, I'll definitely declare that you are my hero." She said with serious eyes.

Mikoto rolls her eyes while Aimi sweatdropped and Sayuri shook her head at Yoshino. She glanced at confused Sakura, "Domoto, Hitomo is an insolent classmate of ours. She never respects us, and always the teacher's pet. Every month, she's always the top rank of Kunoichi in our year."

"She's a bitch." Yoshino blurted.

Mikoto and Sayuri snapped at Yoshino, "Language!" they scolded. Yoshino huffed and sulk in her foods. Aimi sighed softly as she pats her friend's shoulder. These girls slightly amused Sakura, she couldn't help it but feel like she can be friends with them. A smile appeared on her face, 'Today isn't so bad…' she mused, enjoy her lunchtime with her new friends.

A month has passed for Sakura who has been busy to catch up with lessons in the class, hanging out with her friends and made sure she had enough time to spend with Kaede, and finally, today is the day when Yamada-sensei announced the scores. As usual, some has the same scores, some have low, some has high and surprisingly, one thing has changed.

Domoto, Hitomo is rank second best of Kunoichi year.

Sakura is the rank first best of Kunoichi year.

Yoshino stood up, "YES! Sakura you are officially my hero!" she cheered with a cheeky grin. Girls congratulate Sakura who blushes while Hitomo were furious and glared at pink-hair girl hatefully.

Yamada-sensei cleared his throat, "Alright, settle down. Now, Noa is waiting at the outside field, you are dismissed." He waves off the girls who stood up gathered their things and left the classroom while the boys stayed in their seats. Yamada-sensei turned serious, "Now, it's time to discuss the body pressure points with just barehand…" he lectured seriously in intense details.

Meanwhile, the girls meet Noa who waved at them. "Okay, girls… first, congratulations on the first rank, Sakura-chan." She said with a warm smile. Sakura thanked the lady while ignoring the hateful glared from Hitomo. "Now, follow me, ladies. Today, we're going to learn something very special." She said, she leads the girls to the large field of flowers. Sakura felt another sharp pain in her head once again, she rubbed her headaches which one of her friends noticed it. Aimi took out a small water bottle from her bag while Mikoto took out a small pill. They handed to Sakura who thanked them and took the pain medicine and swallowed with a water.

Noa told the girls to sit in the large circle. They obeyed, and the teacher stood in the middle. She slowly turned around, "Listen up. This is one of the most important lessons, you must not forget. As you know that Kunoichi posed a more serious threat than other members of the shinobi. Unlike Shinobi, Kunoichi can disguise either as a maid, a priestess, or a courtesan. Kunoichi could take this serious role for a very long time if they must. And when they were ordered to strike, they did so cunningly when their targets are at their most vulnerable, which is often in bed and with their pants down. Hence, it is not so surprising that they suffered worse fates than captured male ninjas when they were caught for committing such intimate betrayals." The girls listen very attentively which satisfied Noa.

"Beauty and sexuality were the female ninjas' primary weapons when gaining access to their targets, but they also wielded the actual deadly weapon of their own. Considering they had to go to their enemy's territory unnoticed, they could not bring around with them long swords that would catch people's attention. Even kunai or shuriken would eventually get attention and causes suspicion. Instead, they carried weapons such as dagger-like hairpins, tessen or folding fans with hidden blades, and poison as these items can be inconspicuous while wearing a standard kimono." Noa took out a fan, opened it and took one thin senbon from the wood, "This is a poison, laced with foxglove. It makes the target's heart slow rate and potentially stop the heart. It could go in the veins such as the neck, wrist, or even straight to the heart." She placed the senbon back into her fan. "Any questions?"

A few hands raised, "Uchiha-san." Noa picked Mikoto.

"Why is Kunoichi took time? I mean, why not just strike the enemy and be done with?" Mikoto asked with curious.

Noa hummed, "That's an excellent question, Uchiha-san. You see, unlike the Shinobi who kills their target right away. Kunoichi didn't sneak in during moonless nights to steal information or eliminate their targets. A kunoichi was patient and took time to accomplish missions even if the mission took years. Female ninjas rarely attempted to kill their targets right away. First, they worked hard to integrate themselves well into the enemy's household and to earn the trust of the household's many residents slowly. They gathered intelligence and passed on crucial information to the village's enemies. When the time came to eliminate the target they were monitoring, they did not wait for a male shinobi to finish the job. Their combat skills were just as excellent, and sometimes their method of execution was even more creative and brutal." She answered. "Other questions?" she scanned the raised hands and picked one of them, "Domoto-san."

Hitomo cleared her throat haughty while Yoshino rolled her eyes distastefully, "How does Kunoichi gain their target's attention? What if the target wants another woman? What would happen?"

"Another good question." Noa praised Hitomo who beamed while Yoshino faked gag which Sayuri elbowed her while Aimi sweatdropped and Mikoto and Sakura facepalms. "Kunoichi will use the Art of Seduction. There are multiples ways to seduce your target in order to get their attention on you. However, it depends on the missions. Most of the mission usually involves information gathering, assassination, and receive items when Kunoichi needed to use Art of Seduction."

Noa noticed Sakura's hand, "Hai, Sakura-chan?"

"These Seduction Missions have limit age, correct?" Sakura asked with curious and concerned.

The teacher's eyes soften when she noticed most girls' eyes were nervous, "Of course. None of you will do these missions until you are the appropriate age. Usually sixteen to thirty or so." The girls were relief to hear that. "But, it would be smart to prepare this type of missions in the future mentally, emotionally, and physically. Better start early rather than later. That way, you girls are preparing for it, it will be like your first time in Seduction mission wasn't your first time at all. Trust me on that." Noa said. "I will help you all prepare it." She swore, then she continues lectured the lesson.

After a few hours later, Noa clapped her hands, "Alright girls, don't forget this lesson, okay? It's important to remember the facts as well. Next week, we will learn the flower languages to use communicate during the missions. Okay, see you all next week and have a good day." She dismissed the class and waved the girls farewell.

Yoshino stretched her arms above her head, "Geez, who would've thought being Kunoichi would be so troublesome." She mumbled, Sayuri and Aimi smile teasingly at their friends who stared at them in cautioned, "What?"

"You said troublesome." Aimi giggled.

"You always complain about Nara using that word and now you copy him." Sayuri smiles wide.

Yoshino twitched, "That's because he's a lazy-ass bastard." She huffed and crossed her arms. Her friends giggled at Yoshino's blushing face.

Mikoto and Sakura smile at them, "What do you think of the lesson today, Sakura-chan?" Mikoto is curious what pink-hair girl's opinion.

"Art of Seduction that only Kunoichi use is…difficult. To think you have to get intimate with your target. It's very risky." Sakura said.

The Uchiha girl nodded her head, "That's understandable. However, it is a relief to know the rules of being Kunoichi, before you take your first Seduction Mission, you have to lose your own virginity willingly. At least, it made Kunoichi have their own respect with their body instead of worried about losing virgin to their target." Mikoto said.

Sakura tilted her head at Mikoto, "Are you interested in this type of mission?" she couldn't help but ask, Sakura has noticed that Mikoto has been really paid extra attention to the lesson today than any other lessons.

Mikoto blushes, "Well, my mother and my grandmother were spectacular Kunoichi for Seduction Missions. They never once fail and always confident in their own skin. They hardly used for front battle, not exactly a fighter, like Shinobi. They are more graceful and elegant when it comes to Seduction Missions. That's their specialty. So, they both assumed that I'll follow their footsteps." She explained.

The pink-hair furrowed her eyebrows, "Is that what you want?"

"Well… I want them to be proud of me."

"Then you don't have to follow their footsteps, you can continue being a different type of Kunoichi that fits your styles. I can honestly see you as ANBU doing a dangerous mission that you will accomplish no matter what."

Mikoto blinked at her friend in surprise, "You think so?"

Sakura frowned, "No, I know so. I know Mikoto-chan is very smart and strong. I know she won't just be Kunoichi for Seduction Missions. I know you'll be more than that. You can do more." Sakura said, serious.

"…thank you, Sakura-chan." Mikoto wrapped her arm around Sakura's arm. Together, they followed their friends who are bickering playfully.
