Chapter 1: Back

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

During the years Naruto and Sasuke were gone, she trained. Sakura was now an Anbu Captain, along with her team, Ino, Hinata and Tenten. She didn't want to be still weak after they came back.

While Sasuke was with Orochimaru, Naruto had done everything he could to get him back, so he was always out of the village. Sakura was always left out, after all, they all still think she was weak, even Kakashi, like she was back in their genin days, where she always had to be protected. The only ones who didn't think she was weak, were her mentor, Tsunade-shishou and her team mates, Ino, Tenten, and Hinata. Tsunade would always train her when she had free time, since they were always busy.

Sakura spent many hours perfecting her jutsus. She probably had more than a thousand of them. Sakura was an expert when it came to medical jutsus, so she spent most of her time at the hospital while Tsunade was busy.

One day, on Sakura's day off, she was spending her time with Ino at the flower shop. They had overcome their rivalry after Sasuke left, agreeing that it was stupid, and were best of friends now.

Hinata and Tenten burst into the flower shop shouting at the same time.

"Sasuke's back! Naruto did it!"

"Where!?", shouted Sakura.

"At the Hokage's Tower.", Tenten replied hurriedly.

Sakura didn't waste anytime, she ran out of the store, pumping chakra in her legs, eager to greet her old team mates. Her current team just stared at her retreating back.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Sakura ran to the Hokage's Tower, wanting to get there as soon as possible. She ran up the stairs and kicked open the room to find Sasuke, Naruto, Neji, and Shikamaru standing there.

"Sasuke...," Sakura whispered.

"Hn.", Sasuke looked at her with a glare thinking that she would go up and hug him like she would back in their genin days.

But surprisedly, she didn't. She leaned back against the wall, a very Neji-like posture, and said "Welcome back, Uchiha."
