Twelve years ago, to the north of Konohagakure, a clan was massacred in its near entirety, a sister clan to the Inuzuka Clan, all that remained after the massacre was a single child, no more than a few days old.

This child's name was Sakura, and who would happen upon Sakura after her clan lay in ruin, none other than Tsume Inuzuka, who'd been sent there to negotiate a treaty with her sister clan, that day on the 2nd of April Tsume vowed vengeance for the murdered, with a howl of rage.

And took little Sakura with her to Konohagakure, where she was put through the system and eventually adopted by a loving couple who'd also wanted their own child but couldn't conceive, their names were Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno and that's where our story begins.
