Konoha Academy.

A school for sons and daughters of affluenced business men and women. The school was filled with girls that shone in comely and boys with princely features that could make anyone, whatever age, whatever gender, makes their stomach explode with butterflies. Yes, literally. The school accepts students from elementary to college, with 14 available courses. The school molds children to trouble making, wusses to courteous, and well-mannered young men and women. Such things as class, style, poise, and a good family lineage is needed in order to study in this school.

The school's elegance makes it one of the most finest schools in the whole world. It has a palatial appearance with a lavish foyer, the ground decorated with the school's crest which is a swan with the edges of it's wings colored gold, and wings spread showing of it's unnatural beauty.

Everything in this school is lined with gold. The buildings, the equipment, the uniform, the textbooks, even the white board. Once you enter the hallway, you will see the floor with shining white marble tiles that covered the whole school. A large, gold chandelier embellished with crystals and draped topazes hanged from the gold embedded ceiling.

The janitors, and workers of this school are often cosplayed as maids, and butlers.

The most opulent of them all are the only ones to be qualified to enter this school as a student.

Except for one.

The prodigal, Sakura Haruno. She was the first ever commoner (anyone who doesn't own a mansion, manor, or villa is called a commoner for the students of Konoha) to have ever entered the school. Of course, the expenses for the tuition was not paid by her parents. Ibiki Moreno, a chairman of the school, and one of the most successful businessman globally decided to take such talent like Sakura study under his wing. Sakura has won multiple regional contests and won two national championships at academics and at sports, she participated in two regionals at Aikido and the other at kick boxing at the age 5. And she's 9 at the present time. Such young prodigality with talent at a young age must not be wasted.

As a well-known businessman, Ibiki was invited to attend a few nationals and competitions as a judge or as audience. Years of attending as the audience, he encountered many talented children that can do so much as a mere child, yet the only one who caught his attention is a certain pinkette. He observed the contests he enters occasionally and always see Sakura as a contender, like at the karate contest. She was the only female contender that was qualified in the regionals, even in nationals. Though, she didn't win most of the contests, Ibiki saw determination. The determination that once reminded him of his childhood. Determination that becomes one with your personality and will never be removed from your growing years, and that determination, if molded, will be the one that inspires the young to strive for success and think of their mistakes and failures as part of their success. They serve as a guide to the right and the wrong, when you fall you get back up and fight all over again. That is the kind of determination that he saw in her, not just in Aikido, but in every contest she participated in.

But despite her not as being rich as the other students, over all, their looks are not well distinguishes. Sometimes she has been mistaken for a daughter of a wealthy person multiple times by Ibiki's colleagues. Sakura has short bubblegum pink hair, creamy peach skin, and glistening jade-green eyes that blended in with the students of Konoha Academy. Her mannerisms makes her no different than the wealthy, making Ibiki grateful for he had chosen her as an apprentice,or so he thought. Under all that perfection and courteous greetings, comes a burdened blossom under the stress of grief upon losing the one you loved.
