Sasuke had returned to the village after the war as well as team hebi.
The village was busy with injured ninjas and writing documents from the events of the war, checking battle grounds and burying the people who lost their life on the battle field.
Sakura was caught in the middle, healing as many as possible, writing documents and helping tsunade as often as possible all while taking an injured sasuke and naruto under her hands.
"Naruto, hows your arm? Feeling any pain? Nausea? Any aching?" Sakura questioned as she walked in, inspecting his arm and chakra. He had major damage to his organs and from the looks of it could barely move as well.
"Im fine sakura-chan." His peerly grin put a small smile on her face.
Then her tone went from fun loving and concerned to naruto to cold, proffesinol and uncaring to sasuke.
"And your wounds? How are you progressing."
He gave her a stare and after a while she stopped waiting, checked his wounds and prepared to leave.
"And naruto, no ramen."
"Why not? Its not bad."
"It wont hurt you. Youre right but if you stink up this hospital with your ramen stench. I will personally be hunting you down." The door closed and she was out.
She checked her clipbored for her next pacient.
"I see you and sasuke are getting along." Sakura kept her pace and didnt slow down a bit.
"Kakashi-sensei."
"Kakashi." He restated, claming he felt old.
"Youre right on time. We have matters to discuss with lady tsunade."
"Ah, pinpoint me to where she is?"
"The library, documents and all." She mumbled.
"I know this is what you want to hear the least but this isnt like you. I can tell sasuke is e-"
"Litsen, im sorry. I just really need a break."
"Its been three weeks."
"I just need more time."
"Teme, why didnt you say anything."
"It isnt the right time."
"For what? Shes hurting. She wants to help."
"Shes doing her job."
"Cant you see it? The longing? She misses you but you wont speak to her. Uou havent even said im sorry. I know shes angry but she shouldnt have to always take the first step. Be the snake you are and win her over."
"I dont love her."
"I dont love you either." Sakura scrolled back in.
"I got back the test results, the nerves are healed and naruto, weve got you a replacement arm."
"You too, sir." Her eyes kept on sasukes.
"I dont need it."
"You both are discharged from the hospital, now go before i kick you out." She gave a grin and ushered for naruto to leave.
When both were out she called in a maid and a nurse to clean while she went off to heal others.
"And sign out. Dont jump out the window like you normally do!!" She growled and stomped off.
"Wow, you really have a habit of pissing sakura-cham off without trying, teme."
"Shut up, dobe."
