AN: So i've seen the reviews and previewed the story, i'm very sorry but i don't know what happened. I've uploaded this prologue three times now and honestly i'm getting pretty pissed. I've been copy-n-paste-ing the words from a document i saved in my latop, i'm not sure if that has anything to do with the coding problem, i'm new at all these so apologies apologies to the good poeple that actually spared their time to read this... Also i'll try and update the 8th chapter, hopefully it would be readable after i reupload it. Anyway, thanks for clicking the story, and hope you enjoy it!

This is the edited version of the chapter, enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto or the characters mentioned in the story

PROLOGUE - HOME

What would she had seen if she was caught in the infinite Tsukiyomi? The thought keep circling around her head for a good while during her return to Konohagakure. But more than that it keep repeating what just happened earlier that day, before everyone part ways.

"What's wrong Sakura?" Kakashi sensei ask her after noticing his former student bowing down staring at the remaining of the statues beneath her feet while sweat and blood drips from her forehead every now and then.

"Nothing" she offers him a rather sweet smile and just tilt her head up staring up ahead to the sun rising.

Shadowing the two of them are Sasuke and Naruto, with their remaining limbs performing a seal after being healed just a while ago. Undoing the jutsu and setting everyone free from their dreams… working together as comrades, fighting on the same side once again

Her eyes that just dried a couple seconds ago start running again, still with joy and the overwhelming emotion of relief, nostalgia and most of all…happiness

"They're finally back aren't they?" Sakura ask Kakashi

"We.."

She turn to look at him

"W-are finally back" he finally stands up while clutching at his previous wound

"Does it still hurt Kakashi-sensei? "

"It's okay" he smile genuinely at her, she can tell it's a big and genuine one from the curve of his visible eye "It's only a little bit, and I'll be fine. We are all going home now after all" he then turn his gaze back to the two other former student of his.

Completely dirty, covered in soil and sweat, clothes torn and bloody not to mention each missing an arm, but Kakashi has never been more proud to call them his students.

Finally after all these time he feels like he has done something right, and everything has fallen into place. Obito had died but not before he came back out from the darkness and Kakashi is sure he's with Rin now, united at last. Minato-sensei had already went back to the afterlife as well, but not before seeing his son-student of his student-give his all to fight to end the war. Kakashi sure hope he'll be proud of both of them. And now, team Kakashi has also reunite.

Kakashi is truly at peace

Thank you Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura…

Sakura follow Kakashi's gaze to her two teammates.

They sure look very cool right now, she thought.

Of course her role as a medic-nin excludes her a lot from the main battle because her first priority is to stay so she could save others, sometimes it makes her feel left out. Naruto and Sasuke have always been the ones that fight battles for her. That's the main reason she went to Tsunade-shishou and trained hard to become much stronger so she could catch up to them, be worthy to stand by them instead of behind them.

And after the war, she finally feels like she has done just that.

"Sakura-chan" Naruto glace at her from his shoulder "can you take it from here?"

"Right" she leaps to a higher ground and bit her thumb and put it on the ground "kuchiyose no jutsu!"

After the smoke clear out, the giant slug that previously showed up at the new three-way deadlock appears. "Sakura-chan!" it spoke

"Katsuyu-sama, we need to heal everyone that's injured"

"Hai" Katsuyu say before turning into numerous quantity of little slugs and spread through the battleground where the shinobi allied force are just starting to wake up

Naruto watch as Sakura leaps from the rocks and onto the field following her summoned slug to attend to the ninjas.

"She really has come a long way" Naruto says quietly

"We all have" Sasuke spoke

"So, what now? Are you coming home with us?"

And since a very long time Sasuke hold a small but very genuine smile to his best friend as Naruto put his remaining hand at Sasuke's shoulder

"You know, being the Jinjhuriki and all.. My arm will grow back in a few months, I think. But you'll have to wait for a while for Tsunade-baachan to come up with something for you"

"Hn" he answers but this hn was more like a sigh. It sure won't be easy going around from now on huh

Sasuke realize even after defeating Madara, Kaguya then fighting Naruto nonstop-his exhaustion doesn't mean he will be free to rest from now on. He still has a lot of mending to do, starting from dealing with the Hokage and Konoha's council to the other shinobi and most importantly to the members of his team. He's been a criminal for quite some time now, he wonder to himself if he's up to be a civil person again, even though, since the Uchiha massacre, he has never been the friendliest guy and he never bothered to be. Now he will have to start to try he suppose.

Now, his subjective has changed once again, it is to redeem himself. To everyone he has wronged.

His sharingan-less eyes shift from Kakashi to Naruto and for a bit search the crowded scene before him then finally locating Sakura. She's helping one of the Shinobi to get back on his feet after healing his leg.

Sasuke is not the type to apologize to others, he knows that mostly it's no good as he himself never consider a simple "sorry" could ever be enough to mend a thing. So he chooses actions over words. But a while ago he just apologized to Sakura.

That moment was when he finally understood that sometimes even some sins can't be forgiven, even with how much he will do to redeem them, so all he can do is make sure she knows that he regret hurting her.

From afar, Sasuke can see Tsunade walking up to Sakura, and after exchanging words she looks up to him and their eyes meet, just for a brief second before Sakura looks away and nod in affirmation to her shishou.

Sakura takes a few leaps towards where Naruto and Sasuke are, before smiling brilliantly at them "Let's go home"
