Sakura Is Reincarnated

Chapter 12 - Sakura’s Own Secret Mission

"Target located. Yellow, intercept."

"Umm… Okay, Pink! What about Blue?"

"He seems to be brooding in the back."

"Understood! Intercepting the target now!" Naruto lunged forward and grabbed the cat that had gotten lost. Even though this low-level mission would normally get on Naruto's nerves, he enjoyed Sakura's attention so he wasn't desperate to prove himself right now.

"Hey, Blue, we can't become a seasoned team if you don't help." She spoke to boy standing beside her.

In response, he threw out some kunai and shuriken in Naruto's direction. Sakura was stunned as they ricocheted off each other until one of them accurately landed in front of the cat who was running from them

The little feline was scared still by the kunai that landed in front of it, giving Naruto the chance to catch it the way he was advised to by restricting it from using its claws. Sakura ticked another Mission from the list on her notepad as they returned to complete their job.

This was how she played the supporting role in their team due to knowing both Sasuke and Naruto were enough to handle these Missions alone. It may seem like she was slacking. However, her true reason for being so laid back was so they didn't find out that the person they were talking to, was only a Shadow Clone!

Since she already knew about Tazuna's dilemma, she went there to deal with the loan sharks and Gato's schemes in stopping his village from being able to build a bridge that could improve their lives overall.

Instead of waiting for the old man to give the false information about his village, she headed there herself without her teammates so they wouldn't be heavily injured like the last time. Using the Flying Thunder God Technique- Level 3, her speed was extremely fast.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing here?" After getting to the village, she was seen by a few thugs who seemed to be monitoring the villagers. What they saw before them was a young girl wearing black head to toe and also a fox mask, the only feature that stood out about her was the pink hair that couldn't be hid on on her head.

"I'm here for Gato. Tell me where he is." Her words didn't seem to be taken seriously as they started to laugh.

"Answer, or die." Before the man could pull out his blade and point it towards her, he heard a crunching sound from his arm. This was follow by a feeling of dread as the young girl ruthlessly stabbed his friend's heart using one finger without giving him any chances to retaliate. His friend fell powerless after her poke...

"Choose." The young girl spoke like a demon. What made the man more frightful was the fact that he couldn't feel pain from his broken arm, the strength this little ninja showed was beyond his comprehension. It was without hesitation that he rat his boss, Gato, out.

After acquiring his location, she quickly headed where he was while expertly avoiding any non-ninja thugs who weren't a match for her. She only stopped when she got to the room where Gato seemed to be telling Zabuza and Haku to hurry up in killing Tazuna.

'Looks like I don't have to look around. I'm fortunate they're all in one place.' She thought while opening the door and scaring the people inside by how she infiltrated Gato's base without making a single out.

"What are you here for?" Zabuza was the first to speak as he pointed his Executioner's Blade at Sakura.

Haku seemed worried their employer would die before they got their payment, so he decided to protect him.

"You two are very good mercenaries despite being fugitives, aren't you? I want to enlist your service." Her words struck a chord in both of them as they looked at her with more suspicion than they did before.

She was too confident to be an inexperienced assassin that could have came to assassinate Gato due to tough circ.u.mstances. Instead, her demeanour seemed to imply that her age could not be guessed by her looks.

"We've already taken this assignment for now. Tell whoever sent you now isn't the best time."

She thought that saying his sins out loud would make him fl.u.s.tered, but she forgot that this man couldn't have become a great businessman if he didn't know how to bluff. Zabuza finally made up his mind on how to handle these circ.u.mstances as he decided to attack her to destroy any who could spread their location. His massive blade seemed light as a feather as he hacked.

Sakura, being someone who had reflexes honed to their limits, was able to block the sudden attack by lifting her kunai to intercept, but the impact of the slash slammed her out a window and into the misty forest outside. She misinterpreted the strength of Zabuza as she remembered back that his specialty was killing.

As one of the seven Ninja Swordsmen, he was obviously more physically stronger than your average Ninja considering he normally swung his Executioner's Blade around in the midst of battle. This initial underestimation came from the fact that Kakashi's strength seemed to fluctuate depending on his mood.

Even though Kakashi was a genius Ninja who became a member of the Anbu at a young age, he didn't seem to live up to his achievements until the latter half of the Fourth Great Ninja War. She thought her sensei only struggled against Zabuza because of his trickery and scheming, but forgot he was a 'swordsman' as well.

The threw her broken blade to the side and looked around for Zabuza. Noticing that he was using the obstructing mist to his advantage, she closed her eyes and stood in place, waiting the assassin's arrival.

The wind was disrupted, and the presence of a blade appeared behind her, but her body didn't stiffen as she used the fear of being bisected boost her will to crouch down to dodge his strike. Her hand simultaneously reached out and grabbed the back of his Executioner's Blade at that same moment in order to restrict him.

The fact that he suddenly couldn't retrieve his blade after swinging him threw off his focus as Sakura made use of the opportunity to throw a powerful punch to his gut. Zabuza felt as if he had been punched by a mountain rather than a human as his body curved.

The same instant he lost all the air in his body was also the same time he felt multiple Chakra Points on his body being sealed by a familiar technique. His eyes would have widened in horror as someone who wasn't from the Hyuga Clan used the Gentle Fist to seal him!

"You're from the Hidden Leaf!"

Sakura didn't want to deal with Haku and his annoying Ice Mirrors, so she immediately initiated the 'Flying Thunder God- Level 2: Second Step'. A kunai left her hand and seemingly aimed to stop his hand signs.

Haku, who could still weave hand signs even if he had one hand, still continued his movements as his right arm brought up his own kunai to deflect the throwing weapon to the side. It was exactly at that moment his arm moved to deflect it that she appeared before him.

The timing of her teleportation were impeccable as he couldn't change his course of actions in the exact moment he moved to deflect her weapon, the only thing he could do was watch wide-eyed a fist drove into his c.h.e.s.t and also made him breathless for a second.

She used this opportunity to similarly capture Haku with movements so finesse that you'd think she had done this a hundred times already. Her hands used the Gentle Manual Sealing Fingers she was an expert in using as a so-called 'Medic God' from the future who made a name for herself using her Medical Skills.

The whole reason she could identify Chakra Points without a Byakugan was due to her experiences as a legendary Medical Ninja from the future. Then all she had to was accurately seal them using a similar technique to that of the Gentle Palms. Truthfully, this way of fighting WAS actually based on the Gentle Fist.

There's probably no one else but her who could identify Chakra Points without the Byakugan than her though and she probably couldn't teach it to someone unless they were as experienced as a Medic like her…

"You… What do you want from me? Money?! I'll give you more than your employer to hire you!"

Sakura didn't put Gato into her eyes as she unleashed a killing intent similar to that of Zabuza's onto him.

'Leaving trash like him alive will only lead to problems in the future.' She lifted the kunai she got back in the middle of subduing Haku and brought it to his neck dangerously. Then, as blood stained his shirt, she picked Haku and Zabuza up before leaving.
