When Sasuke left, Sakura didn't wallow in misery.
She did cry, she did yell, and she did ask Naruto to get him back, but she knew the idea of Sasuke returning was close to impossible.
So she didn't wallow.
Instead, she planned.
"Tsunade-sama…? What sort of research has been made about cloning?"
"…? Why, I don't think many have tried biological cloning, besides-…. The closest thing we have ever gotten to cloning has been the use of Kage Bunshins, and even that is a forbidden jutsu."
"I see."
"…Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing of importance, Tsunade-sama."
"…"
Naruto never really understood why she read so much in the library, or why she always spent the day with books. She never showed any indices of tiredness, and whenever he reminded her that "I will bring Sasuke back, Sakura, believe it!" she simply smiled, maybe laughed, and said "I do."
Then she went to her house, shed a few tears, and read.
And read; and read.
Read until her eyes burned and her head was so full information everything seemed to be stored automatically.
"The secret for cloning, researchers say, is the presence, the soul of the human in question-"
Sakura isn't sure if Sasuke has a soul.
First chappy up. uploading the second one in five...four...three...
