Sakura was running out of the hospital, with tears in her eyes and the bitter feeling of betrayal. How could he, how could Madara had agreed to this?!
"Sakura…I'm sorry," Madara said looking down at the ground, it was clear to her that whatever he was about to say would hurt her on some level by the way he looked so ashamed. He looked like a little boy who was about to be yelled at by his mother for doing something wrong.
"I… You need to find a lover by your birthday or the elders will choose one for you" His voice was shaking and by the time he was done Madara was on his knees over and over again mumbling how sorry he was like a broken record. Normally Sakura would have gone right up to him and hug him saying that everything would be just fine, and they would get through this together.
Not this time, no, Sakura simply stood before him shaking her head before running out not even looking back.
Shaking her head Sakura ran straight to the park until she stood under a big sakura tree that was already in bloom. Right under the tree that no one would go to Sakura broke down, falling to her knees, hugging herself and crying out like no tomorrow.
Hashirama had gone to the hospital to look for Sakura only to find Madara on her floor, saying sorry over and over again. He touched the broken man's shoulder and he was met with red sad eyes, they were glassy but no tears were falling or maybe there were no more tears to fall?
Sakura would have to wait a bit more before Hashirama would come for her, not that it did much. Sakura could run all she wanted, but, he would be coming for her, and when he got her, he would never let go ever again. Never.
Sakura was sitting under the tree looking up at the clear sky that was baby blue more than anything. She just sat there looking but not seeing, she had never really thought about settling down before, much less so soon. When she closed her eyes the only one she saw was the pretty long brown hair and soft eyes and a sweet smile with the worst taste in clothing.
A frown formed on her face, Hashirama was the first one she would think of, but, he was also clan leader and he had most likely already had an arranged marry with some pretty woman. More than anything Sakura feared falling in love, no, she feared to be depending on someone else.
She didn't double for a minute that he would treat her like royalties, he would most likely even let her woke to her heart was satisfied. A shadow that shield her from the sun and when she looked up to see blinding white hair that glittered in the sunlight and red eyes staring down at her in silent worry.
He didn't say anything just looking down at her, in a way it reminded her of Madara, the way he wouldn't talk unless needed. After a bit of time, he sits down beside her, just looking at the falling small light pink flowers from the tree every once in a while looking at her from the corner of his eye.
"How did you find me?" Sakura asked softly, he just sat beside her before flaring his Chakra and she knew he had sensed her running and had come to see what was wrong. He had been worried and followed her out here to see how she was.
"I must find me a lover before my birthday or the clan will choose one,finally," she said after some time and Tobirama turned sharply around to look at her eyes wide, he had expected much but not that. He saw the bittersweet smile on her lips, he turned around once more to look out at the other trees around them.
He couldn't help but pity her and his brother who finally had gotten Madara permission to go ahead the clan just had to interfere. He was lost in his thoughts right until Sakura leading into him and began to cry all over again, not sure what to do Tobi awkwardly put his hand on her back and gave it a couple soft pet.
Tobirama looked at the sky and saw that it had turned an orange color now and he looked to the side only to see his elder brother and his bastard friend. When they began to come closer and one of them was about to say something Tobi took his hand up and a finger touch his lip before looking down at Sakura once more.
When they stood right in front of them he watched Madara pick her sleeping from up with a frown on his face clearly not happy with how she looked it was obvious that she had cried herself to sleep. He saw the man nod at them before leaving.
"So…" His red eyes went to his brother who stood and looked at bit jealous at the outcome and Tobi just shook his head. He slowly got up dusting any dirt off of him before walking over to his brother and they began to walk back.
"The Uchiha clan's elder expect her to find a lover for she turns 16 or they will find one for her," He said in an even voice while stealing a glance at his brother, who stopped walking and went stiff before turning to fully face him.
They both shared a look the elder asking a question the younger nodding in answer, Tobirama would help his elder brother by trying to keep other men away. After a short break of understanding they began to walk once more, Tobi couldn't help but worry about the guests that would be coming tomorrow, but it would wait to that time.
Naruto looked around the green forest beside his black-haired friend Sasuke Uchiha, he couldn't wait to get to Konoha! He looked back at his other companies Mito Uzumaki, Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha and his parents his dad Minato Uzumaki and his mom Kushina Uzumaki.
He had heard Shisui talk about a girl named 'Sakura-Chan' a beautiful young girl that lived in Uchiha Clan and the younger sister of the Clan leader. He couldn't wait to meet her.
