The perfect care
Chapter 1: The reason
It was a bright cold morning since autumn starts in konoha and everybody's enjoying the season. A man with the age of 20 was walking down the street because he's heading towards the hokage for a new mission. Since he came back to konoha after he accomplished his goal, he became a jonin level ninja also with the help of the new hokage, Uzumaki, Naruto. When he came inside of the office, Nara, Shikamaru, Inuzuka, Kiba and Hyuuga, Neji were already there.
"Great. So now the teme's here let's get started. Your mission is to protect the kazekage of Suna since he's going to another country. Your top priority is to make him safe at all cost. Thats all, your now dismissed." Naruto said as he passed the scroll to the Nara prodigy.
"Hai hokage-sama" The four replied as they leave. As they walked outside, they talked to each other for a while.
"This is so troublesome, I wanted a good mission than this or just watch the clouds than do this." The lazy Nara said.
"Yeah, we all know that Gaara can't be beaten up that easily." Kiba said with a frown.
"Well, this is the mission so we got to stick to it. Would you rather want Naruto to give us a rank C mission?" The Hyuuga prodigy asked. The Dog boy just cringed at the thought of rank C for them while the Nara prodigy just shrugged and Sasuke? He's just quiet all the time.
"So see you all tomorrow at the konoha gate at 5 a.m" Neji said with a grim expression. This ninjas were never a morning persons.
"Hn"
"Hai"
"Troublesome"
With that they already left the spot where they were standing earlier. Sasuke started packing all he needs for the mission. While he was finding a white T-shirt for extra clothes, his eyes landed on the picture of their team. He eyed the picture for a while. It's been a while since they all bonded together again. Nothings changed in their team, they were still friends and have concern for each other. But in attitude, they've change a little. Kakashi, still loved that dirty books of him, Naruto, even though he's acting like his old self, he also matured from thinking and started to think rationally but, he's still the annoying dope that he knew. But the most and the biggest change of attitude is from Sakura. Since he came back, He's just greeted by his old best friend Naruto and his mentor Kakashi. He felt a little disappointed because Sakura was not there but didn't show his dismay. Two days after, Naruto was proclaimed as the new Rokudaime because Tsunade resigned already as the Godaime. Sakura was in the hokage's office to congratulate Naruto. He remembered the day.
Flashback:
As he walk his way towards the hokage's office, he heard a voice, a feminine voice that sounded too familiar that he recognized the second he step inside the office.
"Congratulations Naruto! I am really glad you already reached your dream." She said in a happy tone.
"Thank you Sakura-chan! Maybe a ramen for celebration will be the best for three of us." Naruto suggested. The kunoichi didn't seem to notice my presence behind her so she asked Naruto.
"Why for three?" "Because Sasuke is also here. And it's also because he already become a Jonin rank ninja." Naruto answered. That's when she turned around and see me for the first time. She just stared at me, no squealing and hugging, just staring then, she suddenly turn to Naruto.
"I'm sorry but I can't come with you. I still have patients in the hospital to tend so I gotta go. Perhaps some other time alright? See you round." With out saying any word to me, she left without goodbye or any greeting.
"Sasuke, maybe your wondering why she become like that.Since you come back, she became anti-social and spent more time in hospital and training. Just try to understand her, you left her without a proper goodbye so don't think she'll be the same Sakura you know." Naruto said with a frown.
"Hn" Sasuke's answer. He really didn't want to admit but he knew only one thing---He's going to miss the old Sakura he knew.
End of the flashback.
One of the main reasons he come back is also because of Sakura and her words before he left her in the bench. He clearly remember the night before he left and the words she said. "Revenge alone you will not be able to make anyone happy. No one...Neither you...nor me..." And it really didn't make him satisfy. He feel guilty and unhappy for what he had done. After killing Itachi, he really didn't know where he should start patching all the mistakes he did but then, Sakura and his team flash through his mind.
He really expected that Sakura would open her arms wide to welcome him but, he guess he's wrong. She give the cold shoulders that he give to her when they were still a team. When he went to the hospital for medical attention or for injuries, she's just passing him to other nurses and let them tend him. He couldn't blame her if she gives him that treatment cause he deserved every bit of it though he'll never admit that somehow... He want her to be her old self again. The annoying girl he knew. After all the thinking he made, he already fall into a deep slumber.
The next day was not yet bright cause after all, it's 5 in the morning. He already did his morning routine and started walking down the street to meet up with his comrades. As he reached the gates of konoha, Neji was already standing in the spot where they have to meet.
"So we have to get in Suna at exactly 11 in the morning." Neji informed.
"Aa." was Sasuke's BEST reply. A minutes after, Kiba and Shikamaru showed up. They started leaving the konoha and leap from tree to tree heading to Sunagakure.
Meanwhile...
"So Sakura-chan, how were you doing lately?" her blond best friend asked as they eat ramen in Ichiraku's.
"I'm fine Naruto. It's tiring to tend patients but it's worth knowing that you can heal them and make them safe from harm." Sakura answered with a slight smile.
"So I heard you and teme never talked after the encounter in my office. Is it true?" Naruto asked as his fifth bowl came.
"Well, I'm busy Naruto so I don't have time in talking and chatting about catching up each others life. Maybe sometime I can talk to him." She said as her smile disappeared. The truth is, she really didn't want to talk to him right now because she's afraid that her emotions will overpower her and she would break down.
"Sakura, I know that you were avoiding him at any kind of excuse. But can't you at least be friends with him again?" Naruto asked as he stopped slurping his ramen.
"You know that it's not that easy to forgive him after what had he done. Look, for your sake...I will try to be friends with him again like the old times, but don't trust me to trust him and really be nice to him cause I after all of this mistakes he did, he's already become a traitor in my eyes. Just like his good for nothing brother." Sakura said as she bid her goodbye and walk towards the training ground were they first become a team.
At the Sunagakure...
They reached the Sunagakure at 10 in the morning sharp. A bit early for them so they discussed their strategy in the battle and to escort Gaara so that he can escape in the escape routes in the field. When the clock struck 11, they all proceed outside and started to escort the kazekage to the lightning country. They reached the lightning country without much problem so the kazekage start building a good establishments and bonds to the country. They agree on the treaty and they were allies now.
As they go back in the woods, a big explosion near Kiba explode and if Sasuke didn't pushed Kiba, he's a dead man right now. As Kiba started to push off Sasuke, he noticed that he's not moving.
"U-uchiha? Hey, wake up! Damn it... Neji! Sasuke lost consciousness." the dog boy yelled.
"What happened?" Neji asked as he eyed the Uchiha.
"I think it's because of the debris that flew in his head when he save me." Kiba said feeling a little guilty.
"We've got to tell the hokage and proceed to the hospital cause his eyes were... bleeding, not only his head." Neji stated as they escorted back the kazekage and they proceed to konoha. They first proceed to the hospital and get the first nurse that they see. The nurses were in a panic state cause of the bleeding eye of the Uchiha.
They proceed to the emergency rooom and waited for the doctor to give the news.
