Shino came up to the podium, hands in his pockets, mouth covered, and cool looking sunglasses covering his eyes. People stared at him, awaiting what he had to say about Sakura.

After a few moments of silence, he said, "Across the field of life, you meet many challenges, from hard to easy, to big to small. Through the sea of learning, you must absorb the greatest of waves, no matter the cost. To climb the mountain of friends, you must avoid the landslides, and ever a goat or two. To make it through the plain of family, you must stick together, and fight as one.

"But to make it past the icy waters of love, your heart and body must be ready for it. If you fall into the cold waters, you'll survive, but it will take you some time before you are ready to go back onto the waters. But if you come back in to early, you'll get hurt. The friends you've made in the mountains, the family you stuck to in the plain, the knowledge you've learned from the sea, and the using the strength to make it past the field, will always be there.

"All together, friends, family, intelligence, strength, love, and heartbreak, created the world, our friend, Sakura lived in. She made it past everything, but she failed in the icy waters. She tried, and tried, but she never made it. And when she went through the final chance for love, the final go through the cold sea, she failed. She was pushed in, and she lost her life.

"But, mistakes are always easily seen once done. Some things will never be fully forgiven, and this may be one of them. We lost a beloved friend, medic, and comrade. We succeed in one, but failed in another. It was her last parting gift, so I will respect it." Shino stepped down without a word. The people clapped nervously, some people were left in the dark, others thought he was too vague on what he was saying. While they were all pondering what he had said, no one noticed the tear falling off Shino's cheek. Shino thanked the gods he was wearing sunglasses. Who wanted to see a misty-eyed Shino?

------------------------------------------------//

Naruto raised a brow at Shino. Hinata whispered in his ear, "Shino means Uchiha san. He pushed her into the water, then realized his mistake. Thus explaining why he's sulking." Naruto nodded, and kissed her forehead.

"Shino makes no sense. I love you, Hinata." he held onto her small hands, and Hinata replied, "I know Naruto kun. I love you too."

--------------------------------------------//

Sasuke ignored the fact that Shino's bugs were currently eying him with a killer intent. His main focus was on the woman in front of him by about 10 feet.

"Sakura…I'm…so…sorry…I…didn't…know" the hood slipped a little more, and to Sasuke complete surprise…

Her hair was pink.
