The playground and "friends"

SAKURA POV

Another year haf past after I learned about my chakra nature's and not much changed my mom and dad still treat me the same as expected and while my mom constantly tries to change my mind about being a ninja and keeping those scrolls and ninja tools away until I graduate from the academy she isn't sabotaging my progress so a win is a win.

The biggest change out of all of this tho is how the people look at me when ever I go out of the house, its not everyone of course its usually just the families with ties to the civilian council they look at me with a reverence that would make the hokage jealous.

When ever I see those hopeful gazes I slightly regret deciding to show off my prowess, But at the same time I always used to hate those reincarnators and transmigrators who hide in the shadows and are always looking over their shoulders and suspecting everyone to stab them in the back.

I mean its warranted of course because unlike me most of those people were either born in clans or were orphans, and while I would have loved being an uchiha or huyga

My position while not the best isn't the worst either.

Im a civilian child with no special bloodline,or kekkei genkai and decent talent in chakra control which allows me the ability to successfully cast almost any jutsu as long as I have the charka and know the hand seals.

And because of my grandparents position on the civilian council danzo shouldn't be able to touch me but Im not gonna put too much of my faith in this because danzo's ambition to be hokage is so strong he not only instigates most of the skirmishes between the other major villages he even went as far as to send mutible assassins to kill the hokage his own friend for christ sake, he's a mental case that needs to die sooner rather than later.

And while I wouldn't hesitate to kill him is the opportunity arises I'll let sasuke finish him, because while I know about all the bad he's done to others he literally has done nothing to me personally as fuck up as that sounds.

However I still need to watch the wannabe hokage because the moment he smells somthing he doesn't like he'll attempt to snuff it out, but for now I should be safe because While I have talent thats all I have nothing worth value as of yet, and more talented people have died either from their own Hubris or were stabbed in the back before they could truly shine.

"Enough of this overthinking what I need to do is focus on my future in the academy Im almost 6 and while I know every jutsu needed to graduate I wont lie im actually kinda excited to start" I say with excitement

"Well lets continue with my training I wanna start learning tsunade's monstrous strength jutsu as soon as possible after that the rasengan, hehe Im totally gonna break naruto's learning record" I said with an evil grin

But just as I was going to get ready to train my mother bursts through my door with a smile on her face and a glint in her eye.

"Sakura sweetie ehile I was uot getting groceries I saw that the park was very active today, why don't I take you there as well so you can make some friends"

'Goddamit' sakura thought

"Ok mom just let me change out of my training clothes" sakura said while starting to change clothes.

KONOHA PLAYGROUND

Me and my mother were walking towards the park like a normal mother and daughter would, while we were walking some of the mothers in the park began to start whispering while looking at us well mostly me, even some of the kids were looking at me, some with recognition and some with surprising jealousy which baffled me but then ingnored because I didn't know who they were.

"Ok honey Im going to talk to the other moms while you go have fun ok?" my mom said while kneeling down to my eye level

"Ok mom see you in a bit" I said while running towards the play ground.

While I wasn't anti social a part of me was nervous about Interacting with others, because while the days of me being a bullying victim are long gone I didn't escape that situation with out trauma and whole It slowly faded with time its still their and those insecurities rise up everytime I meet some one new.

I was brought out of my inner monologue when it noticed three girls my age approach me, the two girls on the sides were the typical mob characters forgettable and not worth describing but the girl in the middle was very pretty she had short blonde hair and light blue eyes that were almost as teal colored as my own.

'Ah shit I can tell this won't end well' I thought as I introduced myself

"Hi my name is Sakura haruno whats yours" I said while holding my hand out trying to ingnore the sneer on the girl who I knew was Ino's face.

"Dont you mean the civilian princess?" The mob on the right said with clear mockery.

'The fuck?' I thought genuinely confused

"Yea She thinks she's the second coming of lord fourth" the mob on the left said

"Im sorry but I-" I was going to explain but ino slaped my hand way from in front of her with a scoul on her face

"Listen, I dont care who you are or how talanted you are in ninjutsu you aren't better than the clans and your definitely not better than me" ino said I furry

'Ok fuck being nice' I thought

"Im sorry but I dont know who you are or who your clan is" I said with a confused look that made the two girls on ino's sides gasp while ino's look of furry increassed to pure rage

Ino was about to slap me but unfortunately for her while I wasn't training my body quite yet I was training my reflexes so I effortlessly dodged the slap and stuck my leg out to trip ino who had put to much force in to slaping me cauding her to stumble foward and trip over my outstretched leg.

Ino got up with a busted lip while she was glaring at my blank expression while I was looking down at her, before ino could get up to try to attack me again our parents who were watching interfered.

Ino's mom apologized much to ino's annoyance and with that we left the park quickly ro try go get away from the stares and whispers.

"Goddamit this incident is going to be the talk of the town by the end of the week" my mother said with annoyance

"Mom those girls called me the civilian princess, whats that about?" I asked with confusion

"Dont worry about it honey its just a nickname started by your grandparents just try to ingnore it" she said with anger in her voice.

'Im about to milk the hell out of this' I thought with an Inward grin.

"Mom maybe I should learn those jutsu early" I said looking up to her

"Absolutely not" she said with a stern tone of voice.

"But mom those clan kids will learn their clan justus earlier than the other kids, what will I do if they attack me like today?" I asked while grining inwardly.

That sentance caused my mother to stop dead in her tracks as a worried look slowly creeped onto her face, then after a while she turned to me with a determined look

"Only the jutus, the kunai and shuriken stay with me until after graduation" she said

I smiled brightly at her as whe continued the walk home.
