Sakura was standing on her desk in the Konoha hospital filling up charts. It was a hot summer afternoon. The sun was shining brightly over the village making the day better for everyone. Except for her. The hospital was always hot so she wore her now really long pink hair in tight bun so the skin on her neck could breathe. The scrubs she was wearing were made of the thinnest material possible so her body could breathe.

After a minute she was done writing and braced herself off the papers and leaning herself in her chair. She grabbed a fan from the corner of her desk and started moving it slowly in front of her face. As she was relaxing she couldn't help but think about her life now.

She was twenty years old and now Jounin . Fellow ninja and close friends referred to her as the new Tsunade when it came to her medical ninjutsu and her raw strength. Tsunade even praised her and in a drunken emotional state she even said that she is proud of her and could have not chosen a better student. In three years after the war she had accomplished even more than she had expected.

She made a smirk to that though. She met her expectations and not everyone else's. After Sasukes's return to the village everyone expected them to come together. But how could she? Everything that he did only pushed her far away from him. He made an attempt to lure her back but he met only refusal from her. Right now there was only mutual respect between them based on the fact he had helped them defeat Madara and Tobi in the war and due to the fact they were once Team Seven. But that was just it.

Her thoughts were disturbed by a light knock on her office door.

"Yes. Come in" she replied with an indifferent tone.

It was one of the nurses. She just popped her head from outside the door and apologized for disturbing her: "Haruno-san I am sorry to disturb you but we have an injured shinobi who was brought in the ER."

Sakura gave a sight to that statement. Relax was over time to go to work again. "I'll be right there." She said lifting herself up off the chair and making her way to the door.

In another location in the village the other members of the former team seven were currently occupying three seats at "Ichiraku ramen". Naruto sprawled his face on the counter. There tiny drops of sweat coming down at his face "Man it's so hot. And the training we did made me even hotter" he complained his words a little muffled from the fact that he had stuck his face on hard wooden counter. Sitting next to him Sasuke smirked "Idiot training is not supposed to keep you you sucked that diplomatic studying the Hokage is putting you through is making you weaker."

At the sound of his words the blond haired Jinchuuriki shot straight up screaming "Oi Teme" irritation covering his face. "Both of you be quiet. You did very good today Naruto and Sasuke. " Two pairs of eyes gave Kakashi who was also present a glance. The silver haired Copy-nin closed his book and looked at both of them. He could not believe how time had changed them. Well to be honest time had changed him too. As he was getting older his three young students have made names for themselves. Naruto was soon to be Hokage a dream he had been screaming out loud ever since he was a kid. And Sasuke after returning to Konoha the council and the Hokage had reached a decision that all of his crimes should be forgotten due to the fact that he helped a lot during the war. The train of thoughts was interrupted when Naruto asked:"Hey where is Sakura-chan I haven't seen her for almost two weeks now?"

"Hn" Sasuke smirked at those words :"She is probably in the hospital taking shifts again. That woman will waste her life in that building"

Kakashi leaned his head to the side a bit "That building as you called it is very important to her Sasuke and she is a very important asset to it don't forget that. She is just busy I guess"

"She should never be too busy for us."Naruto made a sad face "If she keeps this up I will forget how she looks like." Sasuke just smirked at those words but Kakashi gave it a deeper thought. It has been a while since the last time he saw the bubble gum haired kunoichi himself."Maybe we should swing by her house to see her tonight."Naruto suggested. "She is not going to like that" Sasuke intervened. But the conversation was left hanging when the three bowls of ramen came on top the counter.

"Men are idiots!" Sakura almost screamed while she was walking down the street with Ino by her side. The stupidity and anger was washing off her but still she couldn't help herself about complaining to her best friend.

The blond haired kunoichi appeared a little before her shift ended with the suggestion they should get a cold drink. Sakura wanted to pass but the fact it had been a while since she had a little fun with her girlfriend and Ino's pushing she had agreed.

"Tell me about it. I know exactly what you mean."The girl added after hearing out Sakura's statement. She flung her long blond ponytail from her shoulder to her back which earned her whistles by a man walking pass her. She waved him off easily and continued listening to Sakura.

"He came in my ER with six shuriken stuck in his back." Sakura raised her hands in the air and then flung the over to the sides of her body once again. Referring to her ER was no problem since she was running most of the hospital now thanks to her Shishous blessing. "Three of the wounds were infected by the time I pulled the stupid things out."

"Sakura what do you expect. He is a man. No man knows how to take care of himself. You know that. Hell they never pay attention to what we medics tell them because for them medical ninjutsu is not important. Why do you think medic nins are mostly women?"

Sakura gave a quick thought at her friend's words before agreeing with her. "Why do you think Kiba hasn't been to the hospital in a while because now I cure him when he gets back from missions." The blond continued.

It was a big surprise to everyone except Sakura when Ino and Kiba started dating. They were quite the pair always trying to gets the best of one another using words in quick motion. But Kiba really loved Ino. Sakura had seen it in his eyes and he was very happy for her friend. At some point in her life she had also wanted that. A man looking at her with love in his eyes and her the sole person occupying his thoughts. But later on she realized that she did not need a man to make her feel happy and whole. Even now thinking about it she felt silly about wanting such things. She was a strong and independent woman and a man in her life right now would only set her back.

It not that she didn't have admirers. On the contrary she had plenty now that she was not a teenager anymore. Every tea house or bar she went to she was bought drinks with a follow up of a question for a date. There still wasn't man who could brag that he went out with her.

Shaking her head to get rid of the thought she turned her attention to Ino once again who was talking about the night she had with Kiba before he left for her mission. "It was so amazing we could have gone on the whole night but he had to get up early so we only had three rounds". Sakura laughed at her while making her way through the entrance of the bar. "Ino you are too open about these things." Ino just sneered "You know everything about me. Like I do about you even about that guy you sle…" . Sakura put her hand to cover Ino's mouth as she shushed her "That was a long time ago and you now I don't like talking about him."

"Talking about who?" the two kunoichi slowly turned their heads to where the voice was coming from. In front of them were Kakashi with Sasuke trailing after him.

Sakura's eyebrow twitched "Oh man it's not that I am not happy to see them but WHY DID IT HAVE TO THEM HEARING THIS." She thought to herself as she was trying to give an appropriate answer.
