Blood was gushing out, covering her hands and she watched for a second with morbid fascination. She shook her head and went back to pushing her green chakra back into the nins wounds. She had lost track of how long she had been on duty; popping in supplement pills whenever she could and alternately drowning her sorrows with sake or coffee.

She had to go through hell to get the post because although most were clinging to the smallest hope that they would come back alive, anyone stationed here was basically completing a suicide mission and Tsunade just wouldn't have it. But Sakura was okay with it, and she though almost bitterly what better way to make all of them suffer than to just die.

She was over working herself but really, she wouldn't have it any other way.
