Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, it belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I only own the plot.
This story is written differently from all my other stories. I guess it seemed like a crack-fic, but I promise you that it will lead to something more serious later on…There's self-insertion too but I'm going to be in this chapter only lol.
The Sakura Chronicle-Prologue
In Christianity, there is only one god.
However, in the world of Naruto, especially in the Naruto's world of fanfiction, there are many deities; they consisted of authors under different pennames.
Why are they gods, you ask?
To put it simply, they can make different characters live, die, maim, kill, destroy, etc. Therefore, in the fanfiction world, (not in the real world because Naruto is actually owned by Masashi Kishimoto), authors can do whatever hell they wanted, provided that they follow some guidelines that were published by Fanfiction (dot) net.
This was also the case with Cyberwing. She was a typical girl, living in the real world. She did all the things that normal people would do: go to school, eat, sleep, hang out with friends, daydreaming about how one day she's going to take over the world, and all the other good stuff in between but that was beside the point. The point was that Cyberwing had an obsession about Naruto (the series) and would just love to manipulate the characters in Naruto into doing what she wanted.
Anyway, that wasn't the main point either. What was significant was that Cyberwing had an idea for a new plot again during the past few weeks (during the exam period to be exact since her mind didn't want to concentrate on the materials that she was required to study).
And the main character was to be Uchiha Itachi…Yes…because recently she seemed to have developed a liking in him.
The reason why will forever remain unknown. (A/N: Loophole! Loophole by Leafygirl! XD)
Anyhow, different from her other stories, she wanted to make things more challenging this time.
Instead of her writing the story, she wanted the characters within the story to write their own little thing.
To do that, she needed someone in the Naruto world to help her… so all she needed to do after was to stand at the sidelines and (briefly) control the general flow of the story (just to make sure things are going her way).
Thus, this led to the start of…
The Sakura Chronicle…
"What do you mean you can't do it?"
Haruno Sakura asked the question as she pointed accusingly at Cyberwing. "All you have to do is to just type your damn story into your damn computer! How hard can that be?"
The pink hair kunoichi quickly scanned the area she was in. Currently, she was in some sort of an office, with bookshelves on one side and a desk, which was made out of glass, in the middle of the room. On the desk, there was a laptop that was hooked up onto the internet (because Cyberwing will die without the internet). The person she was screaming at was currently sitting calmly at behind the desk, watching her.
"But…Sakura-chan…" Cyberwing began, trying damn hard to give Sakura puppy-eyes while ignoring Sakura's death glare in response. If Cyberwing was any other person in the Naruto series, she would probably have holes in her body (simply because the intensity of Sakura's glare can might as well bore through people). However, Cyberwing was not from the world of Naruto, so technically Sakura's death glare wouldn't and couldn't really affect her. "You are the only person I can depend on to help me with this."
"So you just zap me up in the middle of the night for something like this?" Sakura spat. "I thought I was being picked up by some UFO when I saw those bright lights outside my bedroom!"
Cyberwing eyebrow twitched, it wasn't her fault that Sakura and her live in different plains. If they wanted to communicate face to face, then they would have to come to some sort of a common ground, a dimension between the two worlds.
Cyberwing pouted. "I just needed you to do me a little favour…"
"I would love to help you but this thing is out of my league!" Sakura interrupted, crossing her arms in front of her breast, using the universal gesture for saying 'I am not buying your bullshit'.
If Cyberwing was a blond man with blue eyes who goes by the name of Naruto, then her persuasion might've worked (Sakura had discovered that she had no immunity to Naruto's puppy eyes. It explained why she'd always ended up going to Ichiraku with him and doing errands for him.).
Taking deep breaths to calm herself down, Sakura continued. "Uchiha Itachi? Itachi, the cold-blooded S-Class criminal? Itachi, the man who massacred his whole family in one night? Itachi, a member of the Akasuki? Itachi, who had appeared in front of Naruto to get Kyuubi? Itachi, the...
Sakura went on with a list of what crimes Itachi did.
Just when Cyberwing was debating whether she should drift off to sleep or not, Sakura (regrettably Cyberwing might add) finished her speech.
"Even I can name that many at the top of my head. God knows what else he'd done without my knowledge. Turning him back into a good citizen of Konoha is anything but simple!"
"Hehe...well I guess it'll be kind of hard." Cyberwing scratched her head sheepishly, trying to think of something up. "But…that's why…I made modifications, so that it'll be easier for you..."
Sakura walked toward the desk, placing her hand on the glass top of the desk, she leaned forward. "What's up with the italics and the underline? It's not helping you in your argument one bit! For Itachi to change…any 'modification' wouldn't work. What we need is a miracle! Besides, why would you be willing to do all these stuff for Itachi? It wouldn't affect you whether he turns good or not, you are not even from this world. It's as if you care about him."
Sakura narrowed her eyes as she saw Cyberwing fidgeted.
"So you do." The pink-hair woman moved back, no longer using the desk to support her weight. She planted her hands on her waist.
"Look lady, I'm doing the best that I can here." Cyberwing twitched in annoyance that she was being seen through. "What else do you want?"
"I want to be with Sasuke-kun!"
"You can be with your Sasuke-kun…just afterwards." Cyberwing's voice then turned whiny. "Besides I like Itachi more. He's more mature, sexier, and stronger. Plus, he totally has this bad-ass 'I'm-better-than-all-of-you-so-die-fool' attitude!"
"But I don't like him!" Sakura yelled, totally ignored the contradiction Cyberwing had made (if Itachi were to be changed into a 'good citizen of Konoha', he couldn't really be a bad-ass anymore…Well, at least not as bad as he was now.).
"Think about it though," Cyberwing said slowly. Rubbing her palms together, an eerie gleam was in her eyes but Sakura was, once again, too worked up to notice. "Itachi is the main cause of Sasuke's anguish, power hungriness and betrayal. If you could prevent Itachi from killing his clan and stuff and make him be good again, then Sasuke will no longer need to leave Konoha in search for power. Instead, he'll probably turn all his devotion for to kill his brother into loving you instead since he no longer had to avenge his family! So technically, you're doing both him and yourself a favour!"
"But right now, this Itachi guy is someone who would slaughter anyone he doesn't like. He's unstable; I don't want to be near some crazy sociopath! What am I to him anyway? He'll probably kill me before I can even say anything, forget about changing his mind about his way of life." Sakura pointed out.
Damn Sakura and her analytical mind…She's right…Cyberwing thought. Must think of something…fast…
"You'll become a deity in your world…" Cyberwing paused before continuing, "You'll have all the powers you wanted…within certain boundaries of course."
Sakura tilted her head to study the teenager, aka the author of this story, in front of her. Why did she have a feeling that Cyberwing was making things up as she goes?
"What limitations?" Sakura couldn't help but to ask, but once she did, she mental slapped herself.
She'd just egged Cyberwing on into tell her more about the mission! Now she'll never be able to get out of this!
"Oh would you look at the time!" Cyberwing looked at her wrist, which was obvious to everyone that there was no watch there. "It's way past my bedtime (A/N: this comes from a person who types fanfiction at three am). I got to go to sleep. Thank you for volunteering, Sakura."
"Don't change the damn subject...What?"
"Good luck on your mission!" Cyberwing said cheerfully as she gave a fake salute. At the side of her desk, Cyberwing flicked a switch and pressed a large red button that said 'push' beside it.
"Wait! I didn—"Before Sakura could finish her sentence, she found herself falling…and falling…
She had been standing on top of a trap door…
"Think of it this way, the sooner you finish your mission; the sooner you get to go back to your 'Sasuke-kun'. Besides, I'm the author so you'll have to obey me in the end anyway." Sakura heard Cyberwing's voice boomed above her. It was loud and echoic, like she was speaking into a microphone, allowing the pink hair girl to hear coherently despite the fact that wind was whistling into her ears as she fell.
"Then what the hell is the point of you asking me in the first place!" Sakura screamed.
"There is no point." Cyberwing paused; Sakura could mentally see her shrugging. "I just wanted to be in the story."
"Ugh! Cyberwing you damn bit—AAHHH!"
A loud sound of someone plummeting into water was heard signalling that…
Sakura had landed back into Naruto world.
Up above (somewhere).
Cyberwing closed her laptop and pulled the drawer open, taking out a binocular.
"Now all I have to do is to follow Sakura around and write down everything that had happen. I'm a genius!"
Then the sounds of giggling, which had a striking resemblance of Jiraiya's (whenever he was peeking at woman at the hot springs), was heard.
A/N: It'll become more serious after this chapter I guarantee you. I know I should be working of Just A Mission…but I'm not pleased with the chapter I'd typed up so deleted it. I'll try to get the chapter up ASAP. But now, please press the bottom left button and review! Thanks for reading! XD
