Hello! This is my new story to tell what I think (wanted) to happen during Sakura and Sasuke's travel together between Naruto and Boruto~!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NAURTO OR BORUTO, NOR ANY CHARACTERS ASSOCIATED WITH SAID SERIES!
The village had been restored to peace after the long war. The restoration of the village had been the next top priority. They started with the hospital so that the injured could be healed. That being said, she was particularly busy. She had not been home in several days.
She wiped her brow as she focused her chakara on the injured man on the hospital bed. She had stored up her charkara for the past three days so that she would be prepared to help. Her hands shook lightly as she focused.
"Hey...maybe you should go home and rest." one of the other medical ninja's said to her. She placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder. "We can manage for awhile. Please go rest."she encouraged.
Sakura glanced at her and then sighed, pulling her hands away reluctantly. She didn't want to, but she did need to replinish her chakra. She thanked the woman and then left the hospital room. The lack of sleep was evident on her face as the dark circles loomed under her bright eyes.
She made her way down the hall and to the break room. She made herself a cup of tea and sat down, wanting to gather her strength to go home on. She sipped the tea and let out a loud sigh. She looked up when the door opened.
Naruto walked into the room with Sai. He looked at Sakura worried. "Oi..Sakura-chan...you don't look so good."he said and walked up to her. "I was told that you haven't left in a few days."he said.
Sakura sipped her tea. "I'm going home, right after I finish this tea."she said, tiredness heavy in her voice. "How is the arm working for you?"she asked over her cup.
Naruto clenched his fist and released it. "Good as new. It is almost at full response."he said with that usual big smile. "Thanks to the research. I am almost good as new."he said. He then looked back at Sakura, a more serious tone. "Kakashi said that you went with him to say goodbye to Sasuke...how did it go?"he asked.
Sakura sighed. She thought back on three days ago when she had said goodbye to Sasuke again with a heavy heart. She wanted nothing more than to go with him, but was turned down again. At least this time he left more nicely. "Yeah, I did."she said. She stood, taking her cup over to the sink. She washed it and sat it on the dryig rack.
Naruto rubbed the back of his neck. "I wish I could have met with him before he left."he said, looking away. He hadn't got to see Sasuke because while he healed, he was studying for the chunin exams.
Sakura headed for the door. "You didn't miss much, you know Sasuke."she said. She lowered her eyes. "Catch you guys later."she said and then walked towards the entrance.
"It would appear that she wanted to go with him."Sai said, recalling the tree he was sitting in when Sakura bid farewell to Sasuke. "I can't imagine why though."he said.
Naurto looked at Sai. "And I thought I was the dense one."he said. "It has always been that way."he said, looking at Sakura as she dissappeared around the corner. "Always waiting."he mumbled.
Sai then raised a brow. "Aren't you supposed to meet with Miss. Hyuga."he said.
Naurto gasped. "Oh crap! Not again."he said and ran off down the hall, being scolded by the medical ninja. "Ah- sorry! Really sorry, I am late!"he said and then dissappeared as well.
Sai shook his head and then headed down the hall to visit with Kakashi.
Sakura made it home just before dark. Her parents were in the livingroom. Her father nose deep in a paper, and her mother folding laundry. The both looked up when Sakura entered.
"You look terrible."her dad said, her mom nodding in agreement. "Haven't seen you in a few days. Busy shifts at the hospital?"her father asked as he folded up his paper.
Sakura sighed. "Gee thanks."she said and slid her shoes off at the door. She put them away neatly and then headed up stairs to her room, not wanting to discuss anything. She only had sleep on her mind, and of course him as well.
She looked at the picture team seven had taken a while back. She touched the glass at Sasuke's face. "Why can't I go?"she sighed and then eventually fell asleep.
MEH, not much for a first chapter, but I will try to improve over the next chapters!
