Chereads / I am Sakura / Chapter 4 - Ichiraku Ramen

Chapter 4 - Ichiraku Ramen

When John was walking towards the academy took notice of how beautiful the village was. the only thing he could say is that the anime didn't give it the justice it deserved.

He also noticed that it was much bigger than what he saw in the anime. It was at least 4 times bigger which made him somewhat glad that he had gotten Sakura's memories, even if it made him act like her.

When he finally got to the academy he was nervous to go in because he didn't know how to act around the other students, especially Sasuke because he didn't know how he would feel about that gloom lord.

As John was about to enter he heard a very annoying voice coming from behind him.

Naruto "Sakura-chaaaan!"

He had to admit that he had never liked Naruto's voice even when he was watching the anime, but he knew what the poor boy had gone through so he would try to befriend him and send him to Hinata.

John :Goodmorning Naruto."

With that response Naruto had a surprised face and started to blush because if it were any other day he would have been sent flying as soon as Sakura saw him.

(a.n. I'll just start calling John "Sakura" to make it less confusing.)

Naruto "Are you feeling better, you didn't come to school yesterday and the teacher said that you had passed out."

Sakura said "Yes Naruto, thank you for worrying. Now then, should we enter the class."

This made Naruto even more surprising but he decided to keep quiet and follow her into the classroom.

When Sakura went into the classroom she looked around and saw the other of the genin that were in her year.

In the front of the classroom she saw Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji in the front. Shino, Kiba, and Hinata in the back. And finally Sasuke in the middle.

Sakura 'Just like I feared. The old Sakura's feeling for the gloomlord overpower my straightness. Honestly how horny can a pre-pubecent 10 year old girl be? For now I'll try and ignore those feelings and if they don't go away by the time I get stronger I'll do my best to try and make him less of a sissy.'

Sakura then went to take a seat next to him with Naruto following from behind. As soon as they sat down a man with a pineapple haircut walked into the classroom.

Iruka "Hello, well let's not waste time and begin class."

Sakura didn't pay attention to class because it was honestly very boring and most of it was to try and brainwash students with the "Will of Fire". It also came in helpful that Sakura was a nerd and the time she didn't spend daydreaming about Sasuke she spent in the library, so following Naruto's and Shikamaru's lead she lay down on the desk and went to sleep.

When Sakura felt a tap on her shoulder she woke up.

Naruto said excitedly "You want to get some ramen?"

This woke Sakura up and she said with gleaming eyes.

"Yes!"

She then turned to Sasuke and asked,

"Do you want to come?"

This made Naruto kind of sad, but it didn't last for long because Sakura had finally agreed to have lunch with him.

Sasuke in a condescending tone "Why would I have lunch with a couple of losers?"

For whatever reason his response made Sakura's heart hurt but she decided to ignore it because she would finally get to have "Ichiraku" ramen.

When they got to the restaurant (stand?) Ichiraku was surprised to see a girl having lunch with Naruto.

Ichiraku with a surprised face "What can I get for you?"

"The usual please!" Naruto said excitedly.

Sakura "Same as him please."

Ichiraku turned and looked at Sakura weirdly before leaving to prepare the ramen, but Naruto was too excited to take notice.

Soon after Ichiraku left he came back with two bowls of ramen that looked and smelled heavenly.Sakura then broke her chopstick and dug in.

As soon as she took the first bite she felt like her clothes were going to explode.

Sakura "This is so good!"

Naruto "I know right! Ramen is the best!"

After that neither of them talked and enjoyed their ramen.

"That was amazing!" Sakura said while patting her stomach.

Naruto then added excitedly "We should come here every day!"

Sakura "Maybe not. I mean I don't want to get fat."

Her response surprised Sakura because she had never cared about such things but before she could think about it she remembered that she had to go to the library before they closed and try to learn the three graduation jutsus.

Sakura "Well then I have something to do so bye."

Naruto "Where are you going. Can I come with you?"

"Oh, so you want to go to the library with me?" Sakura said with a mischievous face.

Naruto's face then paled and he said "You know what I just remembered that there was something else that I had to do with Shikamaru and Choji" and then ran off.

Sakura then laughed and started making her way to the library.

When Sakura got to the library she was kind of disappointed.

Sakura 'I guess that ninjas just learn jutsus and other stuff from other people because this place can barely be called a library. There were barely any books and scrolls.'

Sakura then made her way to the jutsu section and found the transformation, clone, and the body replacement jutsu.

She then took a seat and started to read over them to try and memorize them because you can't take the scrolls out of the library or make a copy of them to study at home.

It had gotten late but finally she had memorised all three of them and left the library.

'That was a lot to memorize, good thing that Sakura was such a nerd or else it would've taken me days to be able to learn them.' Sakura though while walking home.

[Cecil: Host has learned 3 E rank, rewarding 9 Sp]

Sakura "Huh, that's a pleasant surprise. Hey Cecil can you tell me how much SP each rank jutsu earns?"

[Alright

C rank: 15 SP

Sakura "Hey Cecil can you show me my 'status'?"

[Honestly so demanding]

Sakura just ignored her and turned to look at the hologram floating in the air.

Suddenly Sakura felt a warmth running through her body and through her head.

Sakura 'Well that felt weird, but also good at time. Still I feel a bit stronger and I can also think faster. Guess I'll go home and test it out because people are giving me weird looks for talking to myself in the middle of the street.'

With that in mind Sakura resumed her walk home and started to reflect on things she would need to work out in order to become a strong kunoichi in the future in order to not get herself killed.
