Word count: 220
Out of all the members of Team 7, Sakura knew she was considered the 'weakest.' It couldn't be helped; with the Famous Copy-nin as a sensei, and the last Uchiha and knucklehead-ninja-who-always-found-a-way-to-win as teammates, what did everyone expect?
Sure, she was book smart; she even memorized every ninja rule. Her grades were always the highest of the class and her strategies were second only to Shikamaru. But what good was this knowledge if she didn't have the strength or stamina to make her strategies work?
When Naruto and Jiraiya journeyed off to train and Sasuke… left, Sakura felt this hunger build in her, a hunger for strength. She wanted…no, needed to become stronger; she needed to prove that she could protect those she loved.
During this time of no Team 7, she learned that she needed to become strong for another reason.
Standing proudly next to Ino and Chouji while the Godaime praised them for their success at reaching Chuunin, her gaze lingered on that reason. She smiled, exhausted and covered in sweat and blood, watching him return an eye crinkle and wave.
Kakashi had been her strength when she needed him, and now she was going to be his strength when he needed her. He had been her support through it all, and now they would support each other.
Hehe... long time no write ! Sorry for taking so long. I am not lying when I say this; my computer was hit during a power outage and its power supply went kaplooey. I was without a computer for an entire MONTH! I was having some serious withdrawels here. I have it back now and I'm beyond happy! Okay, I've had it back for about two weeks; school likes to get in the way.
Anyway, this drabble made A LOT more sense in my head. Don't know what happened. Still sounds alright though. I'm not going to say that I hope to dish out the next one quickly, because I'll probably jynx it. I hope you all enjoyed it!
