To her Hokage she served. For her Hokage she fought.
Wisps of dirt and smoke filled the falling village. Chaos was everywhere.
"Naruto, get out of here! This is no place for the leader of Konohagakure!"
Her Hokage she protected. Her Hokage she believed in.
Everyone clapped as Sakura bowed. A mask was placed over her head.
"I swear to protect and serve the Hokage by my life or death; whatever it takes."
Only to her Hokage did she speak. Only her Hokage did she trust.
The room was mute and cold.
"Sakura, I'm sending you on a mission. You are not expected to return. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Sir."
For her Hokage she lied. For her Hokage she killed.
The woman stooped over, trying to protect her child. A katana glistened against the blood pool accumulating around her ankles.
"Why are you doing this?"
"For myself."
For her Hokage she lived. For her Hokage she died.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama."
Sakura's eyes glazed over as a blast from the bomb consumed the entire floor with fire and ash.
For her Hokage she was tortured in death. For her Hokage she will wait.
