Disclaimer: i dont on naruto This is my first fanfiction so i hope you like it!! This is a story set as if Sakura had become strong while Sasuke was away and Sasuke came back she had forgotten about him, or had she?

It started when he left, she was a pathetic weak clingy insect of a girl gangly and of no good use to anyone, but when he returned he found a new Sakura and he was the reason! Can the handsome adult cope with what he did to this woman, this woman that can now kill a man with a glance or paralyse a man with just one touch.

Sasuke couldnt help but wonder how his old home would have changed and how the people in it could have grown.

He felt strange walking down the streets he used to know so well, the streets where he had once been proclaimed top of his class a genius and the next a deserter.

They had hardly changed at all, still green foliage as far as the eye could see and the distinctive yet vague smells of the vending stalls and watering holes.

He wondered what it would have been like for him if he had stayed here, the he realised that the only reason he would have stayed here was if his family had still been alive and that was never going to be an option, so what is the point of dwelling on what might have been if it never actually happened. It only brought back unwanted memories. Memories that one would do well to forget.

This exact same though ran through the head of an other shonobi, although she was thinking why dwell on the past when you can think of the future, the future with so many new challenges. What she didn't know was that one challenge in particular would have to be confronted rather sooner that she had hoped… Now what to wear, this challenge faced her every day but it always seemed to hit her smack in the face a little too early in the morning! (Ha you though it was Sasuke well not yet LATER)

She didn't have much to choose from (she wasn't like her friend Ino who could fill a whole house with her clothes) she had just enough so that she would never have to wear a dirty item if she didn't want to. This Sakura was clean but preferred a sparse living space as apposed to Ino again who lived in a mansion the size of three normal houses put together and had so much crud that she so obviously didn't need, but being Ino she just had to have the best of everything and at leased three of it.

So in the end Sakura went for a black vest with a tight fitting blue jacket, sleeveless of course it was too hot in Konoha for anything else and she found some loose fitting black linen trousers. She had gotten over her red faze, looking back on it had been so childish to think that he would have noticed her if she wore bright colours, not that she cared anymore she didn't love him, she didn't want him and she most certainly didn't need him, now SHE had power and SHE was strong.

Sometimes she almost felt like thanking him and then she thought that if she did that she would be admitting that she had had help oh yeh and she would have to find him, and damm that guy he knew how to desert, who knew where he was right now huh well not her.

But someone else did…
