Disclaimer: I do not own naruto and its character, but some of the characters here are genuine and all mine.

Summary: Lady Sakura, your nation is falling apart. If the war continues your people will suffer more, such a ruler as you are cannot protect this nation. If your nation will fall to the hands of the Kogai for sure the Shihai World will be over. I can prevent that from happening, I have a proposal to make. What do you want Lord Sasuke? I need someone by my side, someone who will take care of me...Lady Sakura will you be my Personal Servant?

The Shihai World is one of the most powerful planet in the Dinma Universe. It consists of 11 nations. The Saiko no nation as the supreme ruler , whereas the Junrei is the Saiko no's Highest ranking Official. Under the nation's government there are three department that also have the power over the Shihai World and that are occupied by the three most powerful nations. The Executive Department is occupied by the Senshi Nation, known for having the best warriors in the land ruled by the Uchiha Clan. The Legislative department is occupied by the Kusuri Nation with the Haruno Clan as the Ruler is best in medicinal field. The Kogei Nation which is ruled by the Hebi Clan who provides the Shihai World the technology that is outstanding throughout the universe holds the last department of the Saiko no, the Judicial Department. These three nation are not just powerful because they hold the three departments in the Saiko government but also the Junrei which is the highest ranking official in the Saiko no can only be chosen from the said three nations. Uchiha Madara is the current Junrei and has been ruling the Shihai for almost four hundred years.

The Hakui Nation ruled by the Yamanaka Clan, Fuwa Nation ruled by Aburame Clan, Taifu Nation with the Ten Clan and the Keiji Nation ruled by Kaguya Clan are the four Pillars of the Saiko no nation. They don't have the right to have a chance to be the Ruler of the Saiko no but they do have the power to elect the next Junrei. The Naibu Nation is the Shihai's Internal Official, they do take personal care on the Junrei's welfare and they have the complete access of the Saiko no Nation's internal affairs.

The three remaining nations don't have anything to do with the Saiko no Nation but still a part of the Shihai World. The Tensai Nation being known as the first ever nation in the Shihai is ruled by the Hyuuga Clan, they don't have a position in the Saiko no but they are considered as the advisor for the Junrei, the Nations respect them and believe that it holds the most powerful clan in the Shihai World. The Genso Nation located at the most southern region of the Shihai is believed to be ruled by Zabuza clan and is known to be the most notorious nation, they don't follow the rules that's been given by the Saiko no Nation, they act independently, The Saiko no allows them to do what they wanted as long as they don't destruct the peace and order in the Shihai. The last nation is the Issa Nation, ruled by Suna Clan is the most mysterious Nation of all eleven. Little is known about the nation.

"Well done Sakura, you had memorized all the Nations in our world, although you are only six you prove that you really are the daughter of Masaru."

"Thank you Aunt Tsunade, but why do I have to study the political structure of the Shihai? It's not like I'm gonna rule it one day..."

"What are you saying Sakura? You are the daughter of Haruno Masaru, the Lord of the Kusuri Nation. You know that one day when they are about to choose the next Junrei among the three Nations you are with no doubt qualified."

"But even if so, I don't think that I have the power and the intellect to be chosen, I mean I have a large forehead and I am..."

"Is what I am hearing right?! I can't believe you said it! Being Haruno doesn't only mean that you are buying for the position of the Junrei, you have other things to do. Even if you are not to be chosen as the next Junrei, you will still be the ruler of your nation. People will look up to you, and other than that you will still hold the position of the Legislative department in the Saiko no Nation. It's not all about being the Junrei Sakura; you have to look at the bigger picture!"

"I'm sorry Aunt Tsunade, I didn't mean to say that... I'm just scared that I can't be a good ruler; I don't think that I have the capability to do so... I'm not strong like you and father I don't think I can..." Sakura says these words while crying.

"Hush now, I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you... you're still young and maybe you still don't understand but I know you will in no time."

"Really?! (sobs) Aunt Tsunade?!"

"I'm sure you will, and I do think that you will be stronger and braver than me and you're father. I can see it in you. "

"Really?! (Sakura now blushing)."

"Lady Tsunade we are already here."

"Is that so? Very well. Now dry your tears and check your composure, we are already here at the Genbu Hall, we are about to be with the children of the other nations."

Sakura did what her Aunt Tsunade told her, she wiped off her tears, fixed her composure and got out off the car. She was wearing a white kimono with a printed pink sakura flowers all over it and a red obi with the white circle in the middle that symbolizes their clan as well as their flag. While walking towards the Shinsen room where the other royalties are Sakura can't help but be amazed on what she's seeing. The place is so breathtaking. The floor of the Genbu hall is made out of marble that changes color whenever you step on it; the pillars on the on the other hand are made of crystals and lightens up if it detects somebody.

"Wow!! Aunt Tsunade I can't believe that there is a place like this! It's so amazing!! I love it here!!

Tsunade laughs." I thought so, well you see... when I was at your age I dreamed of living here in the Saiko no Nation, cause the place is so magical...Although our homeland is special too, they made this place very different from other ten nation to prove that this is the Supreme Ruler in the Shihai World. This is just a glimpse of the Saiko no nation, there's more although this place that what you are seeing right now, is the place where the leaders of all nations gather to do the voting for the position of the Junrei, this hall is also use for the introduction of the Saiko no Nation to the youngsters like you. It has so many uses; you will know it as you grow older. But right now I think we have to hurry for we are already late in the ceremony."

As they near the shinsen room, Sakura is starting to get nervous. This is her first time to be outside their nation although she knows that as the next clan and nation's leader, she should get use in dealing with people, doing some diplomatic jobs and other things that a true leader should do. But right now, as of this moment she's having trouble doing that; she is after all just a kid right now, a six years old who wants to play and live free, unfortunately though she can't, for she is a no ordinary kid. Sooner or later she has to accept the reality though it saddened her she must fulfill her role and there is no any excuses her duty starts when she was born.

"Here we are Sakura, you will meet new friends and soon to be ally; and in the future you will work with them to make this world even greater that what is it right now..." Don't worry, I know they are all nice, just be yourself...ok?!"

"Hmmm...Yes Aunt Tsunade..."

The doors opened for them. "Lady Tsunade and Lady Sakura from the Kusuri Nation have arrived!" One of the guards shouted.

"Lady Tsunade...It's been a long time...Welcome back, it's been how many years since I saw you, you were such a kid back then but now look at you! Such a very beautiful and talented lady!"

"I do agree with you...It's been a while...and you never changed!"

"Oh no, don't praise me that much...I'm getting older now I am planning to retire once the new Junrei is selected, I'm getting tired already. Besides, it's a good idea to pass it on to the new generation they might do better than an old hag like me... haha!!"

"What are you saying Master Kaede, you are such a good Minister of Internal Affairs. If not for your efforts there would be no gathering like this right now...You are readying these kids to be familiar with each other and because of this the Kusuri and the Senshi Nations have a strong bond with each other. That's why this world is getting better and better..."

"You patronize me so much Lady Tsunade...I'm getting tired...It's been 600 years since I worked for the Saiko no, I think it's been too long. I want to live like the normal people before I pass away." Hahaha!!Is this little lady with you the daughter of Lord Masaru and Lady Sakuya? What a lovely lady!"

"Oh, forgive me if I haven't introduced my niece to you. You are right; she is the daughter of my brother and her late wife Sakuya. She's a bit shy though..." She looked at Sakura and saw that her niece face is now as red as tomato, and she's holding her dress tightly. "Sakura, this is Master Kaede, I also met her when I was at your age, she is a very nice lady, and it was her idea to do this gathering for all of you to know each other better. Now introduce yourself."

Sakura stand straight and bow to Master Kaede. "I am Lady Haruno Sakura from the Haruno clan in the Kusuri Nation, I am very honoured to meet you, Master Kaede."

"Hara!!Haha..what an intelligent young lady a Kusuri Nation have. Although a bit shy you really carried yourself well, I know for sure that you will be a very good ruler of your nation and you will help this world prosper even more."

Sakura blushed on what she heard..."Ano...ahmm...Thank you Master Kaede."

Hahaha..."You are very welcome Lady Sakura, you are so cute when you are blushing" Sakura blush even more. While Master Kaede laughs harder.

"Is everybody here already? Shall we begin?"

One of the guards approaches Master Kaede and whispered something.

"Is that so? Very well then, we should wait a little longer then...You may escort Lady Tsunade and Lady Sakura to their respective place in the room."

"Yes. Master Kaede. Lady Tsunade, Lady Sakura please follow me."

"Nice meeting you again Master Kaede. Sakura lets go."

Sakura smiles at Kaede and followed her Aunt.

"Bijin. Yes, Master Kaede...Haven't you found him yet? He should be here earlier than any other people, after all he lives here. Does his father know that his son is nowhere to be found?"

"No Master Kaede, Master Fugaku is with his Masjesty and the other leaders discussing an important matter although he knows that his son has an appointment this day."

"What a child...what should we do about him. He is never like his father. Very well keep searching for him. I don't want our guests wait any longer."

"As you wish Master Kaede."

"Hmm...Aunt Tsunade, it's been almost thirty minutes since we got here. Why aren't we starting yet? I think everybody is getting bored already."

"Because we are still waiting for someone; the grandson of the current Junrei. He's from the Uchiha Clan, if I remember correctly the boy's name is Sa..."

"Oi Slug Princess!!It's been a while. You are here too?!"

"So the toad pervert prince is here! I don't care if it's been a long time, I don't want to see your ugly face anyways."

"What did you say!! You call this Lord Jiraiya ugly and pervert?! Surely you have to check your eyes!"

"I agree with what the old lady said. Old pervert!"

"What!! Who are you calling Old lady! Little boy?!"

"Now I agree, you are becoming old too...Tsunade! You are right Naruto...but wait...you called your Uncle an Old pervert?! You don't respect me? Huh?! I will teach you a lesson!!"

"I don't believe you can do that!!You are so old to catch me...Beh beh beh...Hahaha!!"

"Haha...The nephew that don't respect his Uncle, well I don't have to be surprised if you are the guardian of that kid. You yourself don't have any manners."

"Come back here you annoying kid..." Catches Naruto and holds him at the collar of his shirt. "Now who are you calling slow? Little brat? Huh?"

"Let go of me!! You old pervert!!" He tries to escape but to no avail...and suddenly he looked at Sakura who is just staring at her with amusement in her eyes. Suddenly Naruto, being embarrassed and mesmerized with Sakura stop wiggling which Jiraiya notices.

"What happened brat? Tired already?' Looks down at Naruto only to find him staring at the little girl besides Tsunade. He smiled and looks at Sakura who looks at him too and suddenly hides in Tsunade's back. "Is she your niece?"

"Ahh..This is Sakura, well I bet she's scared at you...Well I can't blame her even I'm on this age I will still be scared at that kind of face!!" Tsunade laughs hard.

"I don't think she's scared of me...she's just shy to see a man as handsome as me...right Sakura?" Sakura looked at Jiraiya again and smiled. "See...you look even more beautiful smiling than hiding at that old lady's back, you are way too young and beautiful than her."

"You really are getting on my nerves...Jiraiya. If you don't stop, you might end up spending your days at a hospital."

"Oh come on!! I was only joking...I didn't see you for quite some time."

"By the way...how is it going? Do they have the decision already?"

"Oh about that? I think they are getting there although there is a slight problem with the leader of the Kogei Nation. If that decision will be final, I don't think that he will accept it that easily." Knowing him, he's got so much pride..."

"Really? Well I hope that the decision will be at its best."

"I hope so..." Naruto being out of trance starts wiggling again in hopes of escaping his uncle's grip which was rewarded because Jiraiya didn't notice that his grip on Naruto started to loosen as soon as they started talking seriously.

"Haha...just as I thought you are becoming weak because you are getting old!!" Naruto ran away from Jiraiya as fast as he could."

"Why you little brat!! I'm not done with you yet!! If I catch you, you will be sorry." Jiraiya shouted throughout the entire hall.

"Never mind him Jiraiya, he's just a kid. What else is happening there? I haven't talk to my brother yet about it. He's been very busy these past few days."

" I don't think it would be a good idea to discuss it here. Might as well in other place." Let's go to Kiri room, there's no one in there, besides once the Uchicha prince is here, we are not needed here anymore."

"You have a point, sometimes that head of yours can be useful." Tsunade looks at Sakura and said. "Just wait here a little longer, it will definitely start in a minute or so; besides I have to leave you here once it started because I have no business here afterwards. I just had to make sure that you will be here. This event is just for you and the other kids. So, sit down and just wait. Undestand?'

"Yes, Aunt Tsunade. But you will come back for me right?"

"For sure I will. After it is over. Listen carefully and be brave. I must go now."

After a few minutes that Tsunade and Jiraiya left Sakura felt that she wants to go to the washroom, although there is a slight problem, she doesn't know where the washroom is. She stands up and walked towards the door where she suddenly bumps into someone.

"Ano..I'm sorry it's my fault I didn't looked where I was going. Did I hurt you?"

"We only bumped each other it's not like you stab me or something; don't worry I'm fine. By the way I am Yamanaka Ino from the Hakui nation. I haven't seen you here before. You see this is my third time here. You are?"

"I'm Haruno Sakura from the Kusuri Nation, it's my first time here in the Saiko no. I am please to meet you, Lady Ino."

"You are so formal, just call me Ino, we are still kids so we don't have to be so serious about it. You said it's your first time here? So it means that I'm older than you by two years...My first time here was when I was six years old and then the rest is history. So you haven't been introduced to anyone here?

"I don't know anyone here except for you now."

"Hay... it's his fault you should had been introduced to everyone right now if not for him, he's late again. Where the heck are you?"

"Excuse me? Were you saying something?"

"Oh no not at all, once we start you will know everybody but since you are here with me right now might as well do some introductions myself. You know that there are eleven nations right? But it should only be ten as for the Saiko no is not really a nation with a clan ruler."

"Yah".

"Ok. Since you know me already I'll introduce you to...wait I'm just gonna pinpoint everybody as not all of them is friendly ok? That girl with the brown hair is Ten Ten from the Taifu she is one year older than me. That kid with the long brown hair and with a pearl eyes is from the Hyuuga Clan Neiji; he is with his cousin Hinata, she's more shy than you. The boy with sunglasses is Aburame Shino from the Fuwa Nation. That boy who looks like he's always lazy is Narra Shikamaru from the Naibu nation. That boy with a girl's face is Haku from the Zabuza clan, I don't know why they are here because I know that they don't follow any rules coming from the Saiko. On the other side they are the Suna Siblings. The one with the Tattoo on his forehead is the youngest, he is Gaara. The other boy with a paint of his face is I believe Kankoru; and the eldest among the three is the girl with yellow hair Temari. I haven't talk to them not even ones. And last but surely the least is that loud boy from the Senshi, Naruto."

"You mean he's an Uchiha? He's the grandson of the Junrei?" I met him already his with Lord Jiraiya."

"You are comparing that boy from Uchiha Sasuke?! His not even close!! I mean look at him and look at Sasuke! Sasuke is sooo handsome while that one is not, Sasuke is more talented than him and Sasuke is quiet and not loud than him so don't compare Sasuke to Naruto. Never!!"

"But you said that his from the Senshi, and I know that Senshi is being ruled by the Uchiha's. Right?"

"What you said is half true. It's right that the Senshi is being ruled by the Uchiha's but he's last name is Uzumaki. He is Sasuke's cousin. The Uchiha gave them a certain portion of the land for them to take care of and that is the Konoha village. They say that although it's only a little portion of the land it keeps a sacred thing for the Senshi that is very vital to them. So people treat the Uzumaki clan like almost they treat the Uchiha clan. Now do you get it?"

"Yah. But where is Uchiha Sasuke? I thought the people from the main house of the Uchiha clan lives here along with the Junrei? Why is he not here?"

"Yah you're right again, probably he's out there somewhere. We can't start unless he's here. As the grandson of the current Junrei he's presence is of essence. Oh where is my beloved Sasuke I haven't seen him for a long time, is he gotten tall? Handsome? I can't wait to see him again!!" Ino giggles. I think I should look at him myself so that we can be together in no time!! See you later!!"

"Wait! Can you tell me where is the washroom? I wanted to go there."

"Come with me and I'll show where it is and then I'll look for Sasuke. Wanna join me?"

"No thanks, I just needed to go to the washroom. My Aunt told me to stay here and wait until it starts."

"Very well then. I'll just show you where it is then."

After turning left right and left and some right they finally found the washroom.

"Sakura, just follow the path that we went on and you will be back at the hall ok. I'll go look for Sasuke now. Bye!!"

After using the washroom Sakura headed back to the shinsen room, she tried to follow the path that Ino told her. After a few minutes Sakura started to panic because everything that she sees is the same and she can't find the way back to the room. She started to run and make right and left turns.

"Where am I, Aunt Tsunade, help me..." Sakura is starting to cry. When she saw a light coming from the door she thinks that it is already the Shinsen room, she hurried and open the door only to find a huge forest like garden. The garden is full of flowers and trees. But what catches her attention is the lake in the middle of it. You can see the reflection of the moon from the lake and what's even more beautiful is that at the middle of the lake there is a huge Sakura tree that resembles their own Sakura tree in their garden although the difference is that the flowers are glowing as if it's like a Christmas lights. She walks towards the lake to see the beautiful scenery. She sat by the bench and look at it for a while. She totally forgot that she should be heading back to the shinsen room and smiles at the view in front of her.

"I wonder why this tree's flower is glowing and ours is not? I'm sure I'm not mistaking that the tree is from our nation. How come?'

"Because inside those flowers, there are fireflies. They do live inside the flowers...They put a jutsu on that tree and onto the fireflies as a symbol."

"What?! Now I see that's why it is glowing, you said it is a symbol and...Wait where are you and who are you?"

Suddenly a boy appeared from Sakura coming from a tree. He has an onyx eyes, black hair.

"So you are playing innocent? Are you sure that you don't know me? Everybody knows who I am...I do feel sorry for you because you don't know who I am..."

Sakura feeling that this boy is toying her suddenly got angry. She stands up and approaches the boy. "Well I am sorry that I don't know you it's just that I really don't know you. I am not playing innocent or whatever! I don't need your pity!"

"So you have the guts to yell at me where as mere moments ago you are crying and whispering the name of your Aunt, probably because you are lost or something?"

"What did you say? It's true that I am lost but it has nothing to do with me being angry at you! You are the rudest boy I've ever met! I regret that I ever met you! I just hope that Sasuke isn't like you. You are so mean!!" Sakura looks into the boy's eyes...Onyx met emerald eyes...

Sasuke being unprepared that this girl knows something about him and hoping that he is not Sasuke looks at the girl with curiosity, there he saw her face. Reddish cheeks for being angry at him, pink hair that is tied in a bun like the color of the sakura flowers and the oddest feature of her face is her emerald eyes, those eyes that stared at him defiantly. It was the first eyes that look at him that way. They stared at each other for almost a minute and then suddenly a voice came from the door of the garden.

"There you are!! I was looking all over for you... The meeting cannot start without you; you know that and besides everybody are getting worried! Come on! Sasuke do you hear me?! Sakura? What are you doing here? With Sasuke...?"

Sakura suddenly looked at Ino upon hearing the name Sasuke. She can't believe that the boy Ino described earlier is the arrogant boy in front of her right now.

"Sakura? You know Sasuke already? I thought you said before you don't know anything about him? And that you haven't met him before? Was that all a joke?"

"No Ino, everything I said to you was true. I didn't know that this is Uchiha Sasuke and I didn't know that he's here. You see I cannot find my way back to the shinsen hall and then I found this garden, I stayed for some time and then he suddenly showed up."

"Really? Is that true Sasuke? So you mean you were hiding here all along? What's with you? Come on...we have to go back."

"I don't need to explain anything to you Yamanaka. I can do whatever I want and you have nothing to do with me, but since this place has gotten ugly because of the two of you I might as well attend that meeting so all of you can go home and leave me alone."

"Sasuke...what are you saying..." Ino stated lost at the words Sasuke told them.

"And by the way try to escort your friend she might get lost again... She might start crying and it's gonna hurt my ears... you know how sensitive my ears are. By the way, you...he looks at Sakura, I don't like you and I will not forgive you on what you said to me. And he starts to walk away."

Sakura upon hearing this yells at Sasuke. "Uchicha Sasuke. I don't like you either, and in the future I don't like to work with such an arrogant person like you!

As Sasuke hears this, he smirks and said you are annoying...and continue towards the door.

This is how Sasuke and Sakura first met.
