Sorry for the late update. Computer trouble then school. So...yeah.


Sakura was sent to the emergence room. Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and Itachi was sent to a room where Shizune and a few nurses. healed their wounds.

"Damn that Orochimaru." Naruto said.

"Calm down Naruto." Kakashi said.

"You tell me to calm down?! How can I calm down when Sakura is dying and Orochimaru is...is..."

"Naruto you're in a hospital! Be quiet!" Shizune said putting a bandage on his cheek.

"Fine, fine." Naruto crossed his arms.

"Itachi-sama, you need anything else?" the nurse asked.

Itachi shook his head. "I'm alright now. Thanks."

Sasuke kept silent. He blamed himself for what happened to Sakura. He just stared at the blood in his shirt and sandals.

"Oi Sasuke!" Naruto called out.

Sasuke didn't respond. Kakashi and Itachi was staring at him.

"Sas-" Naruto was cut off.

"Whew." Tsunade wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Will Sakura be alright?" Kakashi asked.

Tsunade sighed and sat at the bed.

"Sakura's fine right?" Naruto said about to cry due to Tsunade's facial expressions.

"Sakura's fine. Her heart has a small hole but it's fine now. Everything's fine with her, her heart, body, head, brain, everything."

"But?" Itachi asked.

Tsunade sighed.

"But, we're losing her for no reason at all. It's like she doesn't want to wake up anymore. She has lost the will to live." Tsunade said rubbing her eyes.

Sasuke couldn't help but feel more guilty. He stared at the floor and held back his tears.

"You alright Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.

Sasuke nodded and just kept silent.

"I'm uh...gonna check her out. You can visit her after you're done here. Room 110." she said walking out of the room wiping something in her cheeks.

"Sakura..." Naruto said.


Sakura was in her bed, sleeping. Tsunade entered her room and sat beside her bed.

"You know, since you volunteered to be my student, I thought you were weak because you pleaded to me to accept you to be my student. But you know, I was wrong. When we started, you were stronger than I thought. You have the most determination in this town."

Tsunade held her hand.

"I never considered you as my student Sakura. I always considered you as my daughter. I considered you and Shizune as my own family. Sakura don't give up. There''s still hope in life." she said wiping her tears.

KNOCK KNOCK

Itachi and Naruto came in and saw Tsunade wiping her tears.

"Sorry." Itachi said.

"No, it's okay. I was gonna...uh...leave anyways." she said standing up.

"Okay. You alright Tsuande-sama?" Itachi asked.

"I'm fine." she said as she left the room.

Naruto walked closer to Sakura and was about to cry.

"Sakura." he whispered.

Itachi walked beside him.

"Sakura and I are friends. Even if sometimes i annoy her, she's still there for me when i need her." Naruto said.

"I understand how you feel Naruto." Itachi said.

Then Kakashi went in.

"Where's Sasuke?" Itachi asked.

"He went home. He said he needed to take a rest."

"Oh." Naruto said.

Kakashi went closer to Sakura and stared at her face.

"Sakura's sad by the look on her face." he said.

"Sakura, I promise I'll kill Orochimaru." Naruto said running out of the room.

"Sakura cares for Sasuke too much." Itachi said.

"She just loves your brother so much she'll even give up her life." Kakashi said.

"Sasuke loves her but he's still not sure of what he truly feels." Itachi said.

"They should talk one time. Just the two of them." Kakashi said.


Sasuke threw himself at his bed and stared at the ceiling.

"Sad? Worried? Guilty?"

"Leave me alone."

"You should visit her."

"I don't want to. She hates me."

"Of course she doesn't!"

"She won't forgive me. I promised I won't leave her but..."

"Maybe you should try."

"Leave me alone."

"You love her Sasuke. That's the truth, she might not forgive you but at least she knows you're sorry."

Sasuke stood up and ran to the hospital.


"Tsunade-sama, Itachi-sama wants to talk to you." Shizune said.

Tsunade nodded. Itachi went inside and sat at he chair in front of her desk.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"I want permission to be accpeted here at Konoha again."

"So you're really going back?"

"Yes. I wanna live a normal life again. I'm tired and I just want to have a peaceful life."

"Fine. Just sign here and everything that belongs to your family will also be yours together with Sasuke."

Itachi nodded and signed the papers.

"Welcome back. Here's a new forehead protector and by the way you're a Jounin." she said.

"Thanks. I'll go home now. I'll go talk to Sasuke." he sid leaving her office.


Sasuke stared at Sakura's door.

"Damn it. Will i go in?"

"You decide."

Sasuke held the knob and turned it. The door opened and he went inside. The room was quiet. Sasuke heard his own heart beating faster.

Sasuke went closer to her bad and there he saw Sakura sleeping peacefully.

"Sakura..." He called her name.

No response.

"Sakura I know you can't hear me. But I want you to know that...I'm sorry." he said.

"I'm sorry for everything." he said.

Sasuke placed a necklace on her hand. Then he inserted his hands on his pockets and left the room.

Right after he left, Sakura's hands clasped the necklace tight and tears rolled down her cheeks.
