Forget, Naru-chan's entrance
Sakura was sleeping in a small white room. It held a desk, closet, bed and side table. The whole room was scarcely furnished and tidy. The bed was against the middle of the southern wall with the table to the left. Two windows adorned the west wall with some picture frames and a scroll portraying a lake and the surround forest. There were three pictures; one with team seven, another with her family and the last had all her graduating class. The wall across form the bed held a desk on the right and a closet to the left, with two feet separating them. The desk was white like the room and had a lamp on top, along with a book and some writing utensils. The last wall was where the door was located. It was about three feet away from the bed. In all the room was spacious because of the lack of clutter.
The young women opened her eyes, her body sore all over. Quickly she glanced around and remembered the past few days. The Hokage while nice was also lazy. So she explained techniques and then showed Sakura how to do it. This went on for a while, just explaining the basics and not even letting her the chance to try. However the Hokage breezed right through the basics and told her of everything she had previously learned. Then sent her to the Konoha hospital to practice. The only thing she spent a lot of time on was the focusing of chakra to utilize her monstrous strength. When training started she moved back to her house. No one was home, that didn't surprise her though. She was told long before that, she lived alone and her parents were deceased. The thought made her sad, but she knew she could not dwell on the fact. She didn't know them, all she had was the pictures scattered around the house. The family smiling happily behind the glass frames.
Shaking the thoughts from her head, she sat up. Her pink comforter falling to the floor with the small movements she made. Staring blankly ahead for a few seconds before getting up. She stretched, while glancing out the small window beside her bedside table. The sun was just starting to come up. She went to her closet. Searching trough her clothes she found many of the same outfits. 'I need to go shopping soon' She picked out a pair of black shorts that were in abundance. Next she searched for a kimono that wasn't pink. Spotting only two, one white and the other black. They were the same design just pink where it was white. She grabbed the white one. With her outfit decided she walked to the bathroom.
Tossing the clean outfit carelessly on the floor she slowly took off her clothes. The silky nightgown hit the floor. She picked it up, and tossed it into a basket beside the door. The bottom of the pink gown didn't go in but she just shrugged and decided to fix it later. She caught sight of her disheveled appearance in the mirror.
"If only…." She just sighed and stepped into the shower. Turing on it, she winced as she was hit with a cold blast of water. "Shimatta!"
Sakura quickly turned on the hot water, as soon as it warmed up enough she started to relax. Not even thinking about what she was doing she washed her hair and body. Finishing her shower in relative peace. Dropping the soap once, a stray thought about being in prison made her thankful she wasn't a guy.

After her shower she went downstairs to make something to eat. Sakura had just finished washing the dishes from her small breakfast, when a knocking on the door interrupted her. 'Now who could that be?' She went into the other room, the person at the door continued to assault the innocent door. When she opened it the person fell forward slightly.
"Naruto-san, what are you doing here?" The pink haired Kunoichi smirked "Or should I call you Naru-chan?"
Standing in the doorway was a well-devolved blonde with whiskers on her face. She was wearing a blue kimono with little gold fish swimming at the ends of the sleeves and bottom of the kimono. The silver obi matched the silver that was creating rippling effects on the kimono.
"Awww how did you know it was me?" The blonde crossed her arms and pouted
"I heard Kakashi-sensei complaining about it once. I think he called it…." She frowned slightly in concentration "… the sexy-no-jutsu."
"Yea, of course that henti would know." He grumbled under his breath
"Hey Naru-chan of I tried that jutsu would I just become naked, or an older pretty women. Oh! Or maybe even a guy!"
"I don't really know… no girl has tried it before, I did teach it to Konohamaru. He became a rather pretty lady. Though it could still use some work."
"Hmm you should teach it to me sometime. Maybe I could even use it as a disguise if I become a man."
"Sure Sakura-chan!"
"I must say that kimono looks rather nice on you."
"Oh… umm thanks?" Naruto blushed slightly "Well I better be going. If I can't trick you, there's no reason to be walking around like this."
He/she quickly walked off before anyone else would notice who it was. Sakura just watched him, giggling silently. 'Oh I wonder where he got the kimono from. I should ask him later, it would be nice to have one for the next festival.' With those thoughts she resigned herself to go train. Today was supposed to be her day off but she figured if she was ever going to be a ninja again she might as well give it her all. So she grabbed a backpack and went to the Konoha library, hoping there might be a scroll or two there that she could learn from.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
The library was divided into four different sections, each one on a different level of the building. One was for everyone; it contained scrolls on the history of the fire nation. There were cooking scrolls, how to scrolls, stories and other common scrolls that would be no danger if an outsider got it. The next section you could only get into if you were a ninja of any level or an order from the Hokage. This was the last section a genin and chuunin could get to. Separated with the more difficult scrolls near the top shelves. It held scrolls on basic justus, ninja history, rules, basic information, and other simple necessities they would need to know. Then more complex and intricate justus needing advanced chakra control and knowledge. The third section was as far as anyone above a chuunin could go without permission from the Hokage. It contained justus special to Konoha. Forbidden ones that could be used but wasn't allowed outside of the village. Secretes that were meant to be protected. A lot of information could be found here, ranging from research experiments to unwritten rules. The unwritten rules just mean, they are not to be known by the villagers but carried out by Anbu. After proving oneself successful they are taken there with an older anbu member, where they read all the unwritten rules. It could take three months to 5 years to prove themselves. The rules are the only part that's kept lock up on that floor. They're kept in 3 separate chests pilled on top of each other against a wall, with locks and seals to prevent access to it.
All these sections were protected, each one gaining in security. The common one was on ground floor, the second floor was for ninjas, the third advanced/older ninjas, and the fourth section was instead underground. It was the forbidden section, hardly anyone has ever been in it and even fewer are able to enter whenever they wish. The Hokage is the only one with the power to allow others to enter.
Now this was all stuff Sakura knew already, because a while back she decided that she didn't want the other Sakura's help in training but knowledge like that was ok to share. She wanted to become strong on her own, not relying on some phantom person who looked so much like her. Where to find places, how to cook, basic information, that type of stuff was just known to her without asking because the other one agreed with her. So she soon found herself in the highest section she was allowed in. She grabbed scrolls in Genjutsu, Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. Along with medical ones, showing body parts in-depth with and without chakra paths. She sat at a table for hours absorbing the information in the books. The hand seals and motions used for each jutsu along with what the jutsu would do. Memorizing every detail she could, knowing that later she would be able to recall the information easily. She read through lunch and on into the evening, when a librarian came and told her they were closing. She just sighed and collected the scrolls she wanted to look over again and the ones she didn't get to read.
She walked down the Konoha streets in a daze, thinking about all that she had learned. Heading to the place she called home, the pink-headed woman began to made plans. First she would learn as much as she can from the library, then she would ask to be permitted a leave of absence to train and travel the fire nation. Of course some would want to accompany her but she wanted to do this alone. Konoha was a nice place, full of nice people and she wanted to protect it. If that meant leaving for a short time then so be it.
Still in need of a beta-reader/tester/whatever you want to be called. Be sure to review so I at least know im doing somthing right.
