Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto et al.
Sakura knows that Kakashi is the ideal shinobi. He isn't the most powerful, or the smartest, but she thinks he might be the best. It's in the way he never dies. He's damn near immortal.
She's stopped counting all the times she's pulled him back when he's almost gone, because Shikamaru –while looking over Kakashi's file- assured her that mathematical principles could not accommodate such a task.
And that's not even including the multitude of times she's had to seal this cut, sew that wound, and make the bruises recede.
Kakashi is fulfilling the impossible goal of a shinobi: to live.
As Sakura stands over Neji, gore up to her elbows, knowing that he will once again walk out of the hospital as if nothing ever happened, she thinks that Neji might be a lot like Kakashi that way.
If he was living the dream, why was she crying for him?
