A tired Sakura woke up from her dreams and looked at her surroundings in confusion, just a few moments ago, she had died in an accident and somehow... She's still here, alive and kicking.
What's happening? Is this the afterlife?
Staring at the old room that seemed to have come from the countryside, her confusion only increased.
At this time a voice appeared in her head.
[Ding! Talent increased by 1]
[Talent: 1]
The moment those words fell, Sakura felt a gush of wind surrounding her whole body, although it felt like wind, it wasn't cold nor warm, and yet, it filled her entire being with an indescribable comfortable feeling, like a baby returning to their mother's embrace.
In this process, many memories played in her head causing her to fall silent once the wind disappeared.
"Am I... Haruno Sakura?" The idea was so absurd, but having died and returned, then having that voice in her head...
Either she had gone crazy or everything is real, regardless of how impossible those things may be.
Although she never watched it, how could she not know about the anime Naruto?
Sighing, she stood up and went to kitchen, inside she found two people a woman and a guy with white hair and a mask covering his face.
"Hey, Sakura, so you're finally awake? Naruto and Sasuke have already finished their breakfast, they are practicing the tree climbing."
Seeing her coming, Kakashi nodded slightly and spoke as he took a bite of the steamed bun on his hand.
Nodding, she sat down and began to eat her breakfast.
While doing so, her eyes seemed to lose focus, and for Kakashi and the women, it simply looked like Sakura was dazed and lost in thoughts.
The reality wasn't too different from that.
At this moment, Sakura was reviewing her memories, trying to get a grasp of her current identity.
Looking back it seemed that she was a simple civilian girl born from a family of two Chunin. Without any power or reputation.
Most of her life was spent in the ninja academy, either studying or pursuing Uchiha Sasuke.
At this point, a disgusted look flashed in Sakura's eyes, but it quickly disappeared as she continued.
After all, this is a matter of different mentalities, perhaps in this world it's normal for girls that youg to be interested in romance, but for her, it's just puke inducing.
Not that she doesn't like boys, she just wouldn't like them so young, and especially with that kind of attitude.
Shaking her head, she continued and soon ended her review.
To summarize it...
She graduated just a month ago as a Genin, all her arsenal consists of is three D-rank techniques, some very basic proficiency in Taijutsu, Shurikenjutsu and a few more miscellaneous skills like running in places filled with obstacles or jumping between trees to quickly reach someplace.
Thinking back on it, she couldn't help but groan. What the hell... Isn't that too weak? Could it be that every ninja that comes out from the academy only knows this little?
Feeling a headache coming, she was about to push up the glasses on her head, but just as she did so and was only met with air, she suddenly realized that there were no glasses to be worn anymore.
'Great, I even forgot about that...'
With a sigh, she leaned back on the chair and began to think.
As of right now, she doesn't have the means to protect herself, nor any advantage to fund herself and her growth.
As a girl who experienced the corporate wars back on Earth, the environment of this world is almost laughable. She highly doubted someone could compete in wits with her.
Is it arrogant of her to think so? Yeah, probably.
Sakura was never one to hide her flaws, but nonetheless, her instincts were top notch and her greedy was even higher.
Remembering the scenes she saw of this world in social media, she couldn't help but lick her lips slightly in anticipation.
It seemed that besides power, this world also had enticing things like Immortality.
Now that she's here, how can she let go of such things?
Without saying a word she stood up from the chair and walked outside, going to the same spot Sakura had yesterday where everyone was training.
But just as she reached the door, her face flushed red in embarrassment and she realized something. It seems that she doesn't have a clear clue on how to get stronger...
Turning back to her sensei, she skipped towards him and put on a coquettish look on her face.
"Kakashi-sensei, can you give me a hand please?"
"Hm?" Unaware of her thoughts, Kakashi raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What is it?"
"It's just that both Sasuke and Naruto have something to help them in fights, like Sasuke's fire release and Naruto's Shadow Clone, but I don't have any source to learn anything... Can Kakashi sensei teach me something? I don't mind how powerful it is, all I need is a Ninjutsu that can be used offensively..."
"This..." Kakashi scratched his head, feigning embarrassment and lack of energy. "I'm afraid I can't do it now, I still have to recover and-"
"Kakashi sensei, at least you could try telling me a way so I can practice by myself?" Quickly interrupting this lazy guy, Sakura spoke quickly, afraid he would interrupt her.
"Well, based on your talents, I could either teach you Water Release or Genjutsu. Which one do you want?"
Although he said this, Kakashi was complained inwardly, his rest was disturbed by the little pink haired girl.
After thinking for a moment, Sakura choose water release.
Genjutsu... Based on what she knew, there's no famous Genjutsu ninja in the world, probably, at a higher level, it's not very useful, so she would rather spend time on something else, like the second Hokage's water release which is definitely very famous.
Looking at Kakashi with bright eyes, she nodded quickly. "Then, please, teach me water release, Kakashi sensei!"
Hearing her words, a look of smugness appeared in Kakashi's covered mouth.
'This brat is still too young. Wanting to learn water release, you have to look at your chakra affinity first, if you don't have water in it, you wouldn't be able to learn anything. Let's see if I'm lucky this time, that way, I can continue to rest and read my Icha Icha Paradise.'
Nodding to himself, he pulled out a small piece of paper from his pocket.
"Not so fast, Sakura. You see, in order to learn a specific kind of Ninjutsu like water release, you first need to have that chakra affinity. Only Chunin with experience have the skills to develop a new chakra affinity, if you don't have affinity for this kind of Ninjutsu, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach it to you."
"Is that so?" Sakura nodded. She wasn't too worried, so what if she doesn't have it in the end? Wouldn't she still have some other nature affinity? Since Kakashi sensei is said to have copied a thousand techniques, naturally, there must be something he can teach to her.
Unaware that his plan to be lazy was already doomed from the start, Kakashi gave her the Chakra paper and explained what she had to do.
