"I'll be fine Tsunade sama", Sakura said trying to convince the fifth hokage that she can manage living in that village. After all she is a ninja, trained to adapt any kind of situation presented.

"I know you'll be fine Sakura, but don't you think that you are rushing a little? Come on, a little longer here won't be so bad. Though that village needs a doctor, it's not an important mission. I understand your urgency of getting away but accepting a mission that doesn't need your level of expertise that badly is unacceptable Sakura. A chuunin would be fine. You are a jounin, you are more needed here in Konoha than a farming village. Please reconsider your decision Sakura, I don't want my best medic to leave this place for years".

"Tsunade sama, how can I continue living here? Knowing that I'll be seeing his face and her face almost everyday, the pain is unbearable. I know by running away so fast portrays a cowardly attitude but I rather be a coward than hurting myself more. Even though I'm a medic nin, I can't heal my broken heart. I need time and new environment to do so. Please allow me to accept this mission, I'll come back to Konoha in few years I promise you that. This hidden village will always be my home you know that. Please Tsunade sama, please", Sakura spoke with a void face holding back as much emotions as she can.

"Very well, if time and new environment is what you need now then I shall accept your decision. But remember you promised to come back. Sakura I want you to be happy, do you understand?"

"Yes, thank you very much Tsunade sama, you've done so much for me. How can I ever repay you?"

"Just come back home as fast as you can is all I want"

"Ok, I'll try. I..umm…well goodbye Tsunade sama. Could you please tell them for me? I don't think I can face them at the moment."

"Very well, I'll tell them that it was an urgent mission and you had to leave right away. Take care ok?"

"I will, bye. And thanks again"
