Angel of The Hidden Leaf

The next day, I decided to pay the Sasuke a visit. I stood in front of the deserted Uchiha complex and gulped a little nervously. I've heard the story about the Uchiha massacre and that was one messed up horror story right there.

It's no wonder Sasuke's cranky all the time. Just hearing about it gives me chills, I can't even imagine witnessing it as a child.

"Haios san." I turned around and saw Sasuke walking towards me with his hands inside his pocket. He looked at me closely, studying every inch of my body with keen eyes. "You don't bring any weapon?"

Well, he did explain explicitly that he's only looking for a training buddy. "I just got here, I have no idea where I can buy any weapon, and I've spent this month allowance for decorating my apartment." I replied easily.

The Uchiha took out a couple of real kunai out of his pocket. He was about to give it to me, but I held out my hand to refuse his gift. "Nope! I believe in the art of improvisation."

I smirked and dramatically put my hand into my pocket. I can see Sasuke tensing up and put on a defensive posture. "Behold!!!" I yelled out as I took out a curved metal object out of my pocket with twin pointy fork like appendage at the top. "The Glorious Spork of Awesome!!!"

Sasuke took a double take on the Spork in my hand. "A spork?" He muttered in disbelief.

"Yes! It's a Spoon and a Fork!" I declared while slightly enjoying the confused look on Sasuke's face. "Be afraid! Be very, very afraid!!!" I waved my Spork around.

The Uchiha flicked his hand and threw a kunai at me. Of course, I already expected it and caught the kunai with the point end of my Spork. The little fork-like appendage at the front makes it easy for a kunai to stick on it so it's easy for me to catch it.

"I see..." Sasuke smirked before walking right pass me and into the complex. "Follow me..." I followed him closely from behind through the deserted complex. If the situation was any different I would've thought that we're in a middle of a paranormal investigation.

Soon, the silence turned uncomfortable and I decided to strike up a friendly conversation with Sasuke.

Now the question is: What should you talk about to someone like Sasuke? I can talk about best ways to beat up people, I can talk about the academy, I can talk about his bloodline power, I can talk about my power, but I definitely CANNOT talk about the Uchiha Massacre NOR his family.

"So... Did you miss them, your family I mean?" Yep! I am an idiot...

Sasuke paused in his tracks and looked down. "I tried not to let them weigh me down." He replied before continuing his walk. "What about you? Do you miss your family? You're stuck with no way back aren't you?"

I nodded. "I was created not born, I don't really have a family. And since I'm immortal, most of my friends are dead anyway." I shrugged a little. "It was hell the first few centuries, but soon I kinda get used to losing the people I love. Don't get me wrong, I still have people I care about, just that I'm not overly attached to anyone."

"You'll make a good kunoichi." Sasuke commented.

"How come?" I asked in confusion.

Sasuke sighed and shook his head. "If a situation arises where you have to kill Naruto for the sake of Konoha, will you do it?" He asked.

I nodded without any hesitance. I've been in that situation more times than I wanted to count. "If there is absolutely no other way, then I will." I replied easily. "What about you?"

"Heh, who cares about that dobe?" He replied coldly.

"Hey! Naruto isn't a dobe! He just doesn't have the proper education he needs!" I retorted. "Heck, he's just like you, ambitious, hard – headed, and a tad bit annoying. He just doesn't have anyone to teach him how to be as awesome at you."

Sasuke said nothing, he just stopped in his tracks and I suddenly realized that we are standing in the middle of training ground. "You care about that dobe so much don't you?" He took out a couple of kunai out of his pocket. "He's useless, what do you think you'll get for befriending a weakling like him?"

Okay, things are escalating, just gotta keep it cool. "I get a friend that cares about me." I replied while taking out a couple of Spork. "Isn't that enough? Isn't that the point of having friends?"

'clang' I held off Sasuke's attack with the point end of my Spork. "Friend will just weigh you down. You better off alone." Sasuke said as I twisted my spork and kicked him away from me. The kunai he held earlier went flying and landed right inside my pocket. "Don't you want to be strong?"

"Strength, power, and capabilities are completely subjective." I replied before lunging in towards him. He blocked my Spork with his kunai and I twisted it to disarm him. "A merchant with enough money can be more powerful than a jounin."

'Crack' Sasuke sent a very, very painful roundhouse kick straight at my left ribs. I hissed a little in pain before jumping away to get some breathing. The Uchiha went running towards me and I decided to kick this match up a notch.

I used my power to augment my speed and power before dodging his strikes. "I'm talking about the power that can make you influence people and feared by all." Sasuke replied while relentlessly sending out a barrage of punch in my direction.

A stabbing sensation appeared in my left shoulder. I quickly jumped away to inspect my wound. "Aww... That'll live a mark for quite a while." I muttered before dodging a volley of Kunai flying towards me. "But it seems that I have to stop holding back."

The Kunai that was flying towards stopped in its track before turning around towards Sasuke. "Hmph, this cheap trick again?" He commented before deflecting it with his own.

I snapped my fingers and every single kunai in the field rose from the ground and start rotating all around me. "Yep! This cheap trick again. Now give up." I said confidently.

Sasuke made some hand seals but I'm not an idiot. "Nope!" I shot out a kunai to distract him. "No hand seal, no jutsu!" I said, while making him jump around the clearing trying to concentrate. "Just give up! I'm a bit OP in this story."

Suddenly, the Uchiha jumped up into the sky and start making some hand seals. I tried to distract him but he is out of range. "Fire Style: Phoenix Fireball Technique!" A few dozen balls of fire came raining down from above.

I turned the kunai all around me into a wall-like formation to block the volley of scorching hot flames. "Nice try! But I am... Whoa!" I turned around and blocked a strike from him with my Spork. "Okay, that was close.."

Sasuke grunted in his breath before moving in for some Taijutsu maneuver. His moves are furious and deadly, even with my augmented power I can barely keep up with him. "Hey Sasuke, I think you forgot to look up."

He glanced up and he realized that he is standing below a giant wall formation of kunai floating in the sky. He gritted his teeth and kept pressing on trying to defeat me.

"Umm, hello? You do realize that I can rain this metal of death straight at you right?" I asked him while trying my best to keep up with him.

Sasuke just glared at me before taking out a couple of kunai out of his pocket. "Try me." I shrugged and snapped my fingers. The wall formation above me fell apart and dozens of kunai came raining down from the sky.

I watched with wide eyes when Sasuke started deflecting and dodging the kunai above him. It was as if he can keep an eye on individual kunai without getting stabbed by the other ones all around him. I mean, it's been a while since I've seen anyone with a hand – eye coordination as good as him.

"Checkmate." I smirked while holding a kunai inches from his neck when he was paying too much attention to the Kunai from above. "Forfeit now."

'Clang' Sasuke deflected the Kunai before taking out a couple of Kunai from the ground. "Round Two." He muttered as he ran towards me.

Now I am positively overwhelmed by Sasuke. His attacks are ridiculously faster and he seemed to be able to block my attack before I even move a muscle. He deflected the kunai I used to distract him from the sides while kicking the living daylights out of my poor hands.

"Boy, this escalated quick!" I muttered while jumping away to get a breathing room. But there was no breathing room because a huge ball of fire is coming towards me. "I mean seriously, this is just ridiculous..."

I blocked off the fire ball and saw Sasuke jumping high above the fire. He shot a couple of Kunai towards me before landing inches away behind me. "Damn, this is getting very tricky..." I sidestepped the Kunai before blocking another strike from Sasuke.

The strike turned into an unrelenting barrage of slices that could've turned me into pieces if not for my power and the Glorious Spork of Awesome.

'Clang' Sasuke somehow disarmed me when I was in the process of trying to disarm him. Now he's holding a kunai straight at my neck and I am out of options. Seriously! How is he suddenly so bloody good at this!?

"Okay, okay, I forfeit! Geez..." I groaned in exhaustion. "Geez..."

I sat down on the ground in exhaustion and exhaled a breath of relief. "Some training huh?" I muttered before lying down on the ground. "That was certainly something..."

Sasuke looked at me for a moment before he did something very incredible. He smiled, not the usual I'm-gonna-beat-you-up grin or I'm-better-than-you-and-we-both-know-it smirk. But a genuine grateful smile. "Thank You. that was a good fight" He said.

I grinned at him before standing up from my position. "No problemo Sasuke! That's what friends are for! Helping each other!" I exclaimed in return. Then I cringed a little and put a hand on my shoulder. "By the way, do you have any bandage? I don't think I can stop the bleeding any longer..."

Sasuke's eyes widened. "You're bleeding?" He looked at my clothes and noticed a little dark spot on it. "Let me see." He walked towards me.

I held up my hand to stop him. "Uhh... No, just no, I'll just head to the hospital and get this healed up quick." I floated a few inches off the ground and winked at him. "Yep, I was still holding back." I kicked off into the sky, leaving Sasuke to watch me fly away in a mixture awe and amusement.

[LINE BREAK]

A day earlier...

A certain pink haired girl stood in front of Konoha Hospital. She looked beside her and saw her mother looking at her encouragingly. "Mom... Why did the Hokage removed me from the Academy?" Sakura asked with a sad look on her face. "Did I not study hard enough? Was I really worse than the dead last?"

Mebuki shook her head and crouched down to Sakura's level. "Sweetheart, why did you want to go to the academy in the first place?" She asked her.

Sakura looked down and thought about the reasons she wanted to go to the academy. "I wanted to become strong like Ino and..." She blushed a little as she thought about a certain black haired Uchiha. "Make some friends..."

Sakura's mother sighed and gently pats her daughter's head. "It felt like just yesterday I picked up from your crib. Now here you are, wanting to be powerful and chasing after boys." Then she smiled at her. "But the Hokage sees through you Sakura. He knew that you aren't meant to be in the front field. You have a talent somewhere else."

"No!" Sakura exclaimed in annoyance. "It's because of that stupid girl who fell out of the sky! She replaced me with her just because she can fight to tie with Sasuke kun!" She said while thinking about the newcomer. "I mean, shouldn't she be at the lower class? Why does she has to be in Iruka Sensei's class!?"

Mebuki looked down in deep thought. "Well... There's nothing else you can do Sakura. This is Hokage's direct order. I can't do anything about it." She took Sakura's hand and gently leads her towards the hospital. "But don't worry, I'm sure you'll be a great doctor or perhaps a medic nin."

Sakura pouted before trudging towards the hospital in dismay.
