Sakura's Pov.

Sasuke left 3 days ago. it's not sadness that is eating away at me. Its anger. Annoying. Fangirl. WEAK. Sasuke was right. I am weak. I'm not the strongest, but all of that is going to change. I'm done being the scared girl that has to be protected. I'm done crying over pointless things.

I will not be left behind ever again. I went to visit naruto in the hospital. I can't believe Sasuke went so far as to seriously hurt naruto. I always thought they were friends in some strange way. I went up to naruto's rooms and knocked.

"Naruto! Are you feeling better?" I said as I walked in. But he wasn't there. His bed has been made and there are new sheets. Was he discharged? I saw Shizune walking down the hall.

"Shizune!" I yelled as I ran toward her.

"Yes?"

"Was Naruto discharged?"

"Yes. Actually he asked Tsunade to leave for 3 years to train with Jiraiya to get stronger. Isn't that something? He left as soon as she agreed" she said.

I dropped my head and hid my eyes behind my bangs.

"Yeah. Pretty amazing. See ya later" I said and ran out of the hospital.

WEAK. ANNOYING. LEFT BEHIND. ALWAYS PROTECTED. WEAK. WEAK. WEAK.

I screamed. I let those words that haunted me, the words that described me, the words that are me escape my lips.

"You're weak! You're annoying. Sakura your weak!

'Then train' Inner said.

I ran as fast as I could to Tsunade. I will be weak no more. I won't be left behind. I won't need to be protected. I. WILL. BE. STRONGER.

When I got to her office I knocked then walked in.

I bowed as low as I can.

"Please let me leave the village for 5 years to train. Please. I am begging you. Please let me do this" I said.

"Why do you need to leave to train?" she said

"Please. I need to get stronger. I will no longer be weak. I will no longer be annoying, I WILL NOT BE LEFT BEHIND ANY LONGER!" I screamed. I promised not to cry and yet I have tears. I am weak.

Tsunade's eyes widened at my outburst.

"I want you back in 5 years. At 2 pm. I want scrolls written every week. Is that understood." She said.

"Hai!" my eyes watered even more.

"Then leave. Go and become the strongest in team 7." I ran out her door and went to pack. I got back to my house and ran into my room. Packed a set of clothes. Some money. And all my weapons. I looked at teams sevens picture. I knocked it off and watched as it shattered. I picked up the picture and got a pair of scissors. I cut each person out and spread them apart. I wrote a note for naruto. Short and simple. And left the leaf for 5 years.

And the note left by our pink haired broken ninja was by the picture that showed how broken Team seven really is…

Naruto,

Team 7 isn't a team. We never were. We are broken, just like this picture. Separate. And can't be put back together.

Sakura.
