Haruno Sakura was cleaning the large Uchiha Compound, or the so-called previous home of Uchiha Sasuke. Up to this day she could still remember that pain in her medulla oblongata where he hit her that night he left. Ever since she has visited this place about a week ago she couldn't help herself to come back and clean it. But now she wasn't that little crybaby before. Yes, she still missed Sasuke, but the girl we see now is a different Sakura. She was now fifteen, apprentice of the great Sannin and Hokage of the Hidden Village of Konoha, otherwise known as Tsunade.
She then continued to clean as memories came back to her. Not only of Sasuke's betrayal, but also how everyone else has grown over the years. Naruto and Hinata are now going out, as the shy girl was given a little help by Ino, Tenten, and Sakura herself to confess to Naruto. At first, the Kyuubi holder wasn't able to answer back, and it all resulted to a major breakdown. She ran away, but Naruto tracked her (with some trouble from neji) and shouted out his feelings toward her. Not long after, she saw Ino start going out with Shikamaru. The confident girl really didn't need any help, like Hinata did.
After being done cleaning with the kitchen, she then went to a room. This room seemed to be the only one that wasn't too dusty, meaning that it was used by someone, though that someone was now gone. She then looked around, and went to get her cleaning materials. First, she needed to clean the ones that have some kind of leverage, like the furniture and such.
She then went to the desk/drawer on one side of the room, and saw an album that was set down, so that the back was seen. She then took it, only to see that the picture on the album was a picture of team seven. She actually thought he would have thrown it out, but it seems he treasured their memories even more than she thought. All the same, she didn't have the same feelings that she had for him before, and has grown.
She was about to put the picture album back to the table, when something caught her eye. Of course, it was put under the album, and so she didn't notice it earlier. Her eyes then widened at the sight of it, and she looked at it carefully before she picked it up.
The thing seemed to only be a piece of paper folded in half, though kind of crampled, as if the person had a hard time on choosing whether to put it in there or not. She then opened it. Sure enough, the content was a letter. But, it was far from normal. Nevertheless, she then started to read it.
To whoever may come across this, she read, with hesitation. After that, she then felt dizzy, but she didn't faint. She then stopped to think of what to do, then pondered on the content. Was what I read true? She then thought.
After thinking, she then jumped out of the window, to head on to the Hokage's Office. I wonder what they will think of this now…she then thought.
