Have you ever been in a situation where the person you thought you knew was really a stranger? In this case, the friends of a girl that was always thought of as sweet, kind and smart have experienced it. All was shocked. How can someone turn from a beautiful harmless flower into poisonous ivy? I guess we'll just have to see for ourselves.

Chapter 1

As the wind blew through the grounds where team 7 used to train the scent of cherry blossoms filled the air. Sitting on a branch of a tree the Uchiha Prodigy watched the sunset.

"It's beautiful isn't it, Sasuke-kun?" Sasuke glanced at the chuunin who asked him the question. She was standing on top of a branch at a tree beside the tree he was on.

"Hnn…" The pink haired girl just gave a small smile at the boy's usual reply. He looked back at the sunset. 'I guess he'll never change.' She thought.

'Yes, he'll never change. He is still as cold as he was before. He won't change because he still hasn't finished his mission. The mission, the mission is to kill his older brother, Uchiha Itachi.'

"Sakura-chan!" a girl with long blonde hair reaching till her waist shouted the pink haired girl's name.

'Ino-chan! What the heck would she want?' Sakura thought. She jumped down from the tree, landing two feet in front of the blonde.

"What's wrong?" she asked. Ino took a glance at Sasuke but immediately looked back at Sakura.

"Tsunade-sama wants to talk to you. You'd better go there right now, you know she hates waiting." Ino's eyes twitched at the thought of a very pissed off Tsunade.

"I see. Thank you Ino-chan…for everything." Sakura smiled sweetly. Ino was surprised by what her friend said. But she composed herself.

"Hmph! You know you owe me. Nothing is free anymore. In any case I'll be going. I still have a lot of things to do. You'd better hurry up as well. See you later, Sakura- chan, Sasuke-kun." Ino disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Well then, I'm off Sasuke-kun. Hope to see you soon." Sakura said as she took a last look at Sasuke before she left.

'Naruto successfully brought back Sasuke from Orochimaru. When he came back a lot of people hated him. Why? It was because he was a traitor. He left with Orochimaru for power. He seeked…no…wanted, he wanted power. That power was to be used to kill his brother and to be the strongest ninja. But after awhile all became normal.' Thoughts about what happened before came into Sakura's mind as she jumped from roof to roof on the way to the Hokage.

"Tsunade-sama, you wanted to talk to me?" She stood in front of the Hokage's desk.

The graceful woman who was sitting looked up from the scroll she was reading.

"Sakura, it came to my attention of the changes that has been happening in Konoha." She said as-a-matter-of-factly. Sakura eyes brows furrowed.

"Yes Tsunade-sama, a lot have changed especially in the relationships of my fellow ninjas." The powerful woman smiled.

"All of you have become jounin's and I say that the relationship of Neji and Tenten are progressing and so are Ino and Shikamaru. Hinata has built up the courage in confessing her feelings to Naruto as well hasn't she?" giving a light giggle as she thought of the last part. Sakura's sweat dropped.

'Hehe! Yeah sure Hinata already had the courage in trying to tell Naruto but it just seems that luck isn't in her side. If it wasn't because of Naruto misunderstanding the message because of his stupidity there would always be something or someone who would be bothering.' Sakura sighed.

"But…" Tsunade-sama looked at Sakura seriously.

"But Sakura, I still haven't had any news in you having a romantic relationship. Has no one courted you? But that would be impossible because you're one of the most eligible girls…no woman here in Konoha."

"Well Tsunade-sama, Lee-kun and some other boys have courted me but I'm not ready for a commitment yet." At this an eyebrow of the Hokage raised.

"Are you sure? Or maybe because you are still in love with Sasuke?" Sakura's eyes widened.

"I'm sure that isn't the case Tsunade-sama." She looked sternly at her sensei.

"Ok then I guess that it's no problem. Sakura, since you have already learned what I could teach you in being a medicnin I want you to travel and learn other techniques in healing and if possible fighting. That is if you want to. You have a lot of potential and you are the best in being a medicnin which Konoha have seen at your young age. I want you to think about it, Sakura."

"Thank you Tsunade-sama. I no longer need to think about it because I already consider it." Sakura said with seriousness in her eyes.

"How about your family and friends, is it okay for you to leave them?"

"Yes."

"Okay then, I will make a scroll and you will show it to the Kage's of the other villages. You may leave when you want to."

"I've decided to leave the day after tomorrow."
