Thank you for all who have been reading this fic continuously . I am truly appreciated.

Those old times

Before her eyes is the Konoha forest, she sat up.

Nobody is there for her..

Tsunade looks at her wound, it's gone! It's miraculously healed, it's gone. Just then she saw a man walking in the woods, smoking on a pipe. The pigtail hokage is overjoyed, someone must've found her! She ran and follow that man, what she found out is, that man is someone she knows....

Very well...

"Sarutobi-sensei..why are you here??", she is very surprised and puzzled. This man is dead. And why is he here? The man looks at her and frowned, as usual, "I am not your sensei..and you are not my student." Tsunade was puzzled than ever, "B..but I'm Tsunade..your student!!" Sarutobi walks towards her, Tsunade could see his lifeless eyes, "Girl, my student Tsunade is a confident girl. She normally has no weaknesses in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu." Tsunade was stunned, is her trying to teach her something? She walks toward the old man who was peacefully leaning against the tree. "Sarutobi-sama, then how can I become stronger...just like..." She paused. "Tsunade..?"

The old man smiled to her, "You will, girl. You will, soon." He starts to walk, slowly. Tsunade tries to walk after him. But it seems that she can't catch up with him.

She cries, softly, she looks up at the sky and cried out very loudly, "Why does everyone leaves me alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" At that moment, she heard a silent whisper, "Tsunade-sama?"

She blinks and found out she was on the bed, in the Konoha hospital. Shizune was beside her, along with the other jounins. "Huh, nani???!!!I was in the forest.." Tsunade looks around. Shizune wip sweat drops from her face, "Tsunade-sama, we saw you in the Konoha woods, you lose a lot of blood. So we brought you here."

Kakashi breaks the conversation, "But Tsunade-sama, I don't understand. A great medic-sannin like you...collapse at a single strike?? Why does this happen??"

Tsunade turns away, "I don't know..I have an incurable weakness. And don't know when did I get this." Shizune looks worried so she ordered the other jounins, "Uh, you all can leave now, I think our hokage wants to be alone. See you later Tsunade-sama." With these words, the jounins, including Shizune, left the room.

Shizune is worried about how Tsunade is these days. Tsunade daydreams everyday when she is in the office. She is worried if Tsunade is...

In love...with someone..she also doesn't know that sure.

Jiraiya is also worried about Tsunade, he found her soaking with blood in Konoha woods. So he called the jounins, to take her to the Konoha hospital. But what he is afraid is will Tsunade returned to Orochimaru again.

He is not sure...

For now, he must got to visit her in the hospital. Jiraiya walked in the streets of Konoha, he saw a sign says: Yamanaka flower shop. He walks in and saw a blonde girl sitting behind the counter. "Jiraiya-sama, welcome! What can I do for you today??" Ino smiled, cheerfully, her customer today is a VIP. "Are you asking me to pose a special picture for the cover of Icha Icha Paradise special edition???" Ino blushed. Jiraiya's mouth went down, "You are too young, INO!!!"

"Ah, little girl. I'm looking for a flower for a patient. Which do you recommend?" Ino shuffled the bouquets displaying in the shop and says, "Jiraiya-sama, any flowers without roots will do."

Jiraiya walked to a flower vase which the signs says:FORGET ME NOT—20 ryous each. He picked up to of them and walks toward Ino. Ino blinked, a bit puzzled, "Why FORGET ME NOT??"Jiraiya answers, "I want the patient to remember that I am still there, for her. I don't want her to think that she's alone. I will always be there, so I won't let her forget this."

Do you believe in the power of love?

I do..

I believe love can make miracles happen..

Love is not hard to find..

You always feel it...
