Most recently written part. I always liked the fact that Team 7 contains so many repeats of the past like the Sannin and Kakashi's Team.
Interesting Fact: Sakura's Arithmancy Numbers I find are the ones that match her the most.
Sakura Haruno:
Character Number: 4
Heart Number : 6
Social Number: 7
4: Like a table that rests solidly on four legs, four indicates stability and firmness. Fours enjoy hard work. They are practical, reliable and down to earth; they prefer logic and reason to flights of fancy. They are good at organization and getting things done. Like the cycle of the four seasons, they are also predictable. They can be stubborn, suspicious, overly practical and prone to angry outbursts. The conflicts possible in "two" are doubled in four.
6: Six represents harmony, friendship, and family life. Sixes are loyal, reliable, and loving. They adapt easily. They do well in teaching and the arts, but are often unsuccessful in business. They are sometimes prone to gossip and complacency.
7: Perceptive, understanding, and bright, sevens enjoy hard work and challenges. They are often serious, scholarly, and interested in all things mysterious. Originality and imagination are more important than money and material possessions. Sevens can also be pessimistic, sarcastic, and insecure.
But then Naruto left, to go get stronger, to bring Sasuke back because that was all he could do. Sasuke was gone, Naruto was going to be away for years and Kakashi was never around.
So while Naruto was off getting stronger, I put myself to work. I worked on becoming stronger so I wouldn't be the weak link anymore, so I could keep up with them, and so that for once maybe I could protect them, keep them together as opposed to being the one who was always protected.
I never heard the full story but I always knew part of the reason Tsunade-sama took me in was because in a way I was eerily reminiscent of her. She took me in because she wanted to give me a chance to fix what she hadn't been able to.
So I do my best and try my hardest and continue to believe somewhere in the back of my mind that one day I will be able to heal Naruto, to bring back Sasuke and one day, when it's the three of us once more, to keep us together.
On nights when I come back from training exhausted to the core I look up at my ceiling and wonder where Naruto is and how strong he is becoming. Then I think of Sasuke who is gone and try not to wonder if he will ever be back one day.
Still even as slowly I am recognised by becoming a chuunin, which my two teammates have not reached, I am bitter at the fact that my strength is not witnessed by the two I wanted to be there the most.
Still even as my parents cheer for me in the stands, as my friends whoop loudly, as Tsunade looks at me with pride and Kakashi-sensei smiles a smile hidden beneath his mask I cannot help but feel upset. Theyshould have been here; I should not have been the first of them to reach the next rank.
Sasuke and Naruto should have been here! And that thought hits me deeply. But I am reminded that I'm becoming strong so that one day they will be here. That one day Naruto can force us to celebrate with ramen and Sasuke will look on me with approval and so that one day I can sit beside the two of them and know that there is no place I'd rather be.
The next part: Waiting
