"How do I get out of this tree?"
"Jump?"
'Are you crazy? I'll die.'
"I'll catch you."
'Promise?'
"I swear on my life."
'Okay...' you push yourself off the branch, Sakura floats besides you and reaches to grab your arm. Unfortunately you body just continues to fall through hers, she did not catch you. The landing was painful and kind of a shock but nothing broke, surprisingly. 'I thought you said you were going to catch me?'
"I tried, I'm sorry. Are you okay?"
'Nothings hurt but my body. Your body actually.'
"It wasn't that high, don't be a baby."
'You're the baby, I just jumped out of a high tree for you. I could have broken my neck! Your ninja career would be over.'
"That could probably be fixed."
'Whatever, it's the last time I trust you. Let's just go get Naruto.' You slowly make your way towards the tree that he's hanging from. You step carefully towards him, pulling a kunai out. He stared down at you.
"Hey Sakura, what are you doing here?" He asked and you just shrug. Before you knew it something tightened around your foot and you were hanging upside down beside Naruto.
"Hi." You mutter, huffing at your carelessness. He grins.
"How's this rescue mission going?" He asked jokingly. You press your forehead against his.
"Great," with a couple swings of your arm you cut Naruto down and you're left hanging. "Naruto, help me-" you cut yourself off when you realize he already left. "Seriously, real helpful." You mutter and Sakura giggles at you. 'Shut up Sakura, you're the one who looks like a fool here.' You mumble in your head, 'Untie the rope.'
"How do I do that?" She asks, looking at the knot.
'Just concentrate on it, concentrate on existing in this world to do it.' You reply and feel a tug on the rope before you fall to the ground. 'You couldn't have warned me first?' Falling from trees may become your calling card, comic relief who?
"Sorry, I didn't think it would work. Now what do you plan to do?"
"Find Naruto, flick his forehead, ask him to work with me." You have an idea where he might be, that's the way you're heading. "Fishy, Kitty! What's going on here? Need some help bud?"
"What's with you and animal nicknames?"
"What's wrong with animal nicknames?"
"Aren't they kind of an insult? I mean, I've never heard of a cool fish."
"Adjust your definition of cool then."
"No way, you're trying to trick me into thinking Sasuke's cool!"
"There's nobody there." He says and shakes his head in confusion.
"There is, but only I can see her. My name is (Y/n) (L/n), I'm not supposed to be part of this world yet somehow I am. I woke up in Sakura's body, her in mine. I don't understand it yet, but I'm trusting you and you can't tell anyone else." You explain and he nods.
"Shouldn't you at least tell the Hokage?" He questions and you shrug.
"I guess, but can you please help me learn to use chakra and do normal ninja stuff? I can find anything I want about what will happen, me being here might and will likely change some things, but I need to know how to protect myself so I can better use this information."
"How do you find this information out?"
"In my world there's a book about yours, all the way up until you're an old man and it continues from there."
"I see, why should I believe you?"
"I have no reason to lie to you, especially since I'm asking you for help. I don't know why I'm here or how to get home but, while I exist in your world, I may as well do my best to better the world right? Prevent as many deaths as I possibly can?" He seems to think about it, you didn't have much reason for him to trust you. "Sakura, poke him or something."
"What?"
"Just so he knows there's actually someone there, you know?"
"Okay..." She concentrates and removes one of the bells from their place around his hip. He watches it move until it falls into your open hand.
"I can't prove that was Sakura but at least you know there's someone there right?"
"I will believe you, for now."
"Let's go get food, Kitty's treat."
"Later, first we have something to do Sakura."
"What are you doing to be doing with Sakura, sensei?"
"Oh, I asked him to train me. One-on-one since when you two are around nothing gets done." You say, waving them away. You do hope Kakashi can help you out a bit with that but an explanation is your priority.
"Yep, go on. Go celebrate being ninja with your friends," the two of them leave without further argument.
"Yes, tell the two kids with no friends to celebrate." You shake your head at him but get serious pretty quickly.
"Tell me more about these random Kekkai Genkai's," you demand politely and sit crisscross apple sauce on the ground. He closes his book and sighs, shifting uncomfortably on the wooden post.
"You're- I mean Sakura's great grandfather was able to stretch his right arm for up to five feet, his grandmother could sing and plants grew faster. Her great aunt could breathe smoke like air. None of those people were ninja or even tried to be, these were just things they could do. Usually in the most inconvenient times." He says simply with a shrug.
"Real helpful Kitty, but I need real information. Like something that can help me." You dismiss what he'd already said.
"Sakura's mother can turn into a flower."
"What?" You asked to make sure you heard him right.
"She has an ability, Sakura having an ability also is rare yet very possible. Tell me if anything strange, other then being in her body, happens okay?" So you could blame this on Sakura then?
"What else can you tell me?"
"Not much, what else can you tell me?"
"I don't have much to tell you yet, anything you want to know?"
"What were you last doing your world?"
"I did my homework, watched some tv, listened to some music, and then went to sleep."
"Nothing out of the ordinary happened?"
"Nope, nothing."
"Hmm, I have an idea but I'm not sure yet. I'll check it out and get back to you."
"Just tell me what it is," you say irritated that he's keeping secrets about something so important.
"After, I'll get on it right away. Bye Sakura." He said before disappearing.
"What's his problem?" Sakura asked and you sighed.
"Who knows, I'd like to know what he's thinking but I suppose as long as it helps me get home in the end."
"What are you going to do now? Wasn't he supposed to teach you some things?"
"Oh crab nuggets, now what do I do?"
"I could try to teach you I suppose..."
"You are really smart, okay. Teach me to light myself on fire Sakura."
"First, let's go over everything I've learned in the academy."
"That sounds really boring though."
"So does being dead, let's begin with the definition of what chakra is..." Ugh.
