They say Team 7 is doomed to be exactly like the Legendary Sannin, broken, torn apart and forever destroyed.
Sure, there are some things that make them seem alike, but in so many other ways they are different.
.
Tsunade tells Sakura to forget about Sasuke – she keeps her eyes downcast and doesn't respond because she knows she never can.
She also knows things and thinks about things and notices the pattern but also notices its differences.
Where Tsunade gave up on her teammate and got lost in her mind and memories, Sakura would never allow herself to become so weak.
She wouldn't give up because that's what Naruto showed her how to and she sure as hell wasn't backing down because that's what Sasuke taught her she could do.
So shes smile at Tsunade and say nothing. While inwardly thinking, watch me do what you didn't even try to do and couldn't even if you had.

Jiraiya demands Naruto to stop making promises that he can't keep and to stop chasing after Sasuke – he refuses because he knows he never could.
He also knows that Jiraiya doesn't know how to stop it and he starts to see the differences clearer each day.
Where Jiraiya tried to get his teammate back, he still gave up in the end and Naruto never gives up.
He wouldn't stop because that's what Sakura taught him to do and he sure as hell wasn't backing down because that's what Sasuke showed him how to do.
So he'd glare and snap at Jiraiya to mind his own business. While inwardly thinking, watch me do what you couldn't do.
.
Orochimaru asks Sasuke about his former team and why –even after cutting ties and leaving – he can't fully let go.
He knows this and also knows Orochimaru's torn between jealousy and rage and he notices how different they all are.
Where Orochimaru ran away and never came back, Sasuke knows hell be going back because its not his choice.
He wouldn't give up because that's what fighting with Naruto taught him to do and he sure as hell wouldn't stop because that's what Sakura showed him how to do.
So he'd 'Hn' and demand to know when his next training session would be. While inwardly thinking, watch me, I'm going to do what you didn't even try to do.

They say Team 7 is doomed to be exactly like the Legendary Sannin, broken, torn apart and forever destroyed.
But if you looked close enough, you'd notice how not all the pieces of the pattern fit and realise just how wrong they are.
