*Third P.O.V*

In the village hidden in the leaves, there is a certain girl walking down the streets. Her eyes were emotionless and seemed to lose their shine that they had a couple of months ago, everyone on the streets just smiled sadly when they saw her walk. They knew why the girl was like this, and they were disgusted with what was happening, everyone absolutely loved her, she was much better than Karin. Oh, right you guys don't know the story, do you? Well a few months ago Sasuke came back and he brought team Taka with him since then Karin had been spreading lies about the girl currently walking down the street. Oh, who is this girl you may ask? Well, she is Sakura Haruno. Everyone knew who she was, and they also heard the rumours, but unlike Konoha 12 and Tsunade, they chose to ignore those lies. The citizens and shinobi respected Sakura and they knew what she was really capable of. The only people aside from the other villages, the shinobi (aside from Konoha 12 and Tsunade also Karin) of Konoha also the citizens were; Hinata Hyuuga, Sai, Juugo, sugistus also Shizune were the only people in Konoha 12 to actually ignore the rumours. Now currently Sakura was making her way to the training ground 44, where she meets up with the people who don't believe the rumours spread by Karin, along with Anko and they train in the Forest of Death.

*Anko P.O.V*

I was happily making my way to training ground 44 to meet up with Kura-chan (Sakura) and a few others who have faith in her. Every one of the shinobi along with citizens can't believe how Konoha 12 (aside from Hinata, Sai, Shizune, Juugo and Sugiestu) are treating Sakura, she is the strongest shinobi and she has surpassed Tsunade, in medicine and strength, but Tsunade wouldn't know that after dropping Sakura from being her apprentice in favour of Karin *shudders* honestly that girl is obsessed with Sasuke and ruining Sakura's life. When I along with the others in the T&I department first heard the news, Sakura was interrogating a rogue ninja she had caught. Of course, we went in to stop her thinking that she was betraying us but then it hit us as we looked through the one-way window. Sakura wasn't like that. Sakura was actually getting information out of the rogue ninja and doing it quite well actually. Once Sakura had finished and she exited the room everyone in the T&I department including myself were standing there waiting for her, her eyes widen and she looked down. Ibiki was confused.

-Flashback-

*Third P.O.V*

"why are you looking down Haruno?" Ibiki asked as he along with the others in T&I were completely confused

"You probably heard what Karin said, so I'll leave" Sakura stated as she looked up and everyone flinched, her eyes, they were empty. Sakura walked past everyone but was stopped by Anko,

"Hey, what do you mean? Why would you need to leave?" the snake mistress asked in concern, Sakura sighed as her eyes were sad but still empty

"you probably believe what Karin says, like everyone else so I'll get out of all your hair's and I won't stay in your way" was all the cherry blossom said before she disappeared in a swirl of cherry blossoms. The T&I departments eyes widen before they all ran out of the building after making sure that the rogue ninja Sakura had finished interrogating wasn't going to escape. As the shinobi ran around Konoha they skidded to a stop when they came across Hinata walking with her eyes downcast.

"Hyuuga, have you seen Sakura?" Ibiki asked once Hinata was close enough, Hinata's head snapped up to meet them with a glare with her Bakyugun (A/N: did I spell that right?) activated, it sent chills down everyone's spine

"what do you want with Kura?" she hissed venomously, surprising them that Hinata could be capable of doing that.

"well, we heard the rumours and-" Shikaku started off but was immediately cut off when Hinata hit him in the stomach

"what so you all can beat her up? Tell her to quit being a shinobi? To break her more than she already is?" Hinata asked well more like shouted quietly, yep she was pissed

"No nothing like that. We just want to know if the rumours were true, of course, we know that Sakura would never betray the village seeing as she just finished interrogating a rogue ninja that she had brought back with her" Inojin explained trying to calm down the raging Hyuuga heiress,

"How do I know you are not lying. I know that Sakura brought back a rogue shinobi and was interrogating them, but I don't believe the fact that you just want to talk to her" the heiress hissed still glaring at them. Just then Juugo, Sugiestu, Shizune, Sai, the rest of the shinobi forces (except for Konoha 12 and Karin, along with Tsunade) came running over, Hinata glared at them then realised that the citizens and both the shinobi and citizen council had arrived as well, also the entire Hyuuga clan (aside from Neji).

"So you ganging up on me, so you can all find Sakura and hurt her?!" Hinata hissed as she glared at everyone including her father

"It's nothing like that Miss Hyuuga, we merely wish to speak with her" Danzo stated calmly but stepped back by the withering glare that Hinata had sent his way, yep everyone confirmed it Hinata was pissed… no that isn't the right word, Livid is the right word for how she was feeling.

"why should I-" Hinata started but was cut off by another voice

"Hinata, if they want to talk to me then they can" Sakura said as she appeared in a swirl of cherry blossoms, she was standing next to Hinata and sending a glare towards the people there.

"Exactly what do you want to talk to me about? Here to tell me to hand in my hia-tie?" Sakura asked with a raised eyebrow. Everyone gasped, she thought they were there to take away her hiat-ie, why would she? Then everyone who wasn't in the T&I department saw how empty her eyes were, they had lost their shine, their spark that they always seemed to hold. The hospital staff came running over after seeing Sakura,

"Sakura-sama, we need your help. 'She' is going into surgery and we need you to complete the surgery that will save her life" one of the nurses stated, Sakura eyes widen before she looked serious and she gladly accepted her hospital cloak from the nurse and started running towards the hospital at ANBU level speed while she pulled on her doctors cloak. The other people who were there eyes widen at her speed,

"If you want to talk to Sakura follow me" Hinata stated coldly as she started running with everyone following her. Hinata led them to training ground 44, past the danger sign, and into a large clearing that was in the deepest part of the forest.

"Sakura will meet up with us here, once she is finished the surgery" Hinata stated as she walked to the middle and pulled out a scroll and summoned comfy seats for everyone to sit on as they waited, there were also games like Shogi and others to help them pass time. It was three hours later when Sakura appeared smiling brightly

"she's gonna be ok" Sakura exclaimed happily and Hinata smiled and tackled Sakura to the ground in a hug

"I'm so happy for you Sakura, the girl who lost her parents will finally have you as a big sister" Hinata exclaimed once she had gotten off the cherry blossom who chuckled and let Hinata help her up. The others watched quietly not sure what to say right now, Sakura looked at them before sighing and sitting down herself to complete the circle that everyone found themselves in somehow.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Sakura asked with a raised eyebrow, she was tired and annoyed at the moment due to the fact that Tsunade had tried to tell the nurses to keep Sakura out but in turn was kicked out herself so that Sakura could focus on healing the girl.

"well, we wanted to know if you know why Karin created these rumours?" Juugo asked politely

"simple, she wants to ruin my life. Other than that I have no clue" Sakura stated calmly,

"why are your eyes so.." a citizen started off but trailed off when Sakura looked at him,

"Simple, I'm broken" she stated sadly but her eyes held no sadness just emptiness

"everyone believes Karin, and everyone left me. I'm a broken cherry blossom" she continued with downcast eyes. Everyone eyes sadden but they were all secretly pissed at how Konoha 12 (aside from Hinata and Sai, also Shikamaru since he is out on a mission currently) and Tsunade could believe what Karin was saying.

"what about my son? Does her believe what Karin says?" Shikaku asked a bit nervous, Sakura shook her head with a small laugh

"Oh, trust me Shikamaru doesn't believe a word of Karin lies, he is on a mission currently so he couldn't make it" Sakura stated smiling softly when Shikaku let a sigh of relief the other clan heads weren't so lucky, their children (aside from Hinata) believe Karin who they had only known for a month instead of the girl they had known for years.
