Sasuke has now been gone for two years. No one in Konoha has forgotten him… he is just never mentioned.
Naruto still wishes he hadn't held back on breaking Sasuke's arms and legs from their last encounter, when Sasuke left, and bringing him back to Konoha.
Kakashi started to regret teaching Sasuke chidori and the proper use of the sharingan in the chunnin exams.
Shikamaru wished he could have killed that Sound Nin to go help Naruto and the others.
Ino… well, Ino just wished Sasuke would come back… not as much for her… but for Sakura.
Sakura, though, thought very differently than the others did. Her feelings for Sasuke were almost the exact opposite of what they once were. It's not that she didn't want to see him… she had to… to kill him. That was now her goal, her ambition.
The first few months after Sasuke's betrayal were hard on her. She cried every day and wished he would come back to her, back to their team. Sakura was in such a horrible state of depression, even Ino kept her company, causing the two to become good friends again. Ino was always there for Sakura when she was going through another stroke of heartbreak for Sasuke. Though she was not needed for that for much longer, eventually over the four months Sasuke had been gone, Sakura taught herself to get over him, liking him less and less every day. Soon, her feelings for Sasuke changed from warm feelings of love and care to cold ones of hate and anger. She often thought what she ever saw in a guy who would throw everything away, a home, friends, and someone who cared so deeply for you, just to get revenge. Sakura started to see Sasuke's ambition as selfish and horrible. He broke her heart and hurt many others just to gain some power. She couldn't stand those kind of people. They were the kind of people that Sakura would fight and kill during missions. Sakura Haruno despised one person and one person only… Sasuke Uchiha. That had now become her decision, that the best way to rid her mind and herself of such a horrible person was simple… to kill them. And that was exactly what she intended to do.
Sakura had been training for a year and a half now and had improved greatly. She was as strong as the Hokage, her chakra control was flawless, and she became the best medical Nin around… other than Tsunade of course, who Sakura had been training under. And in addition to that she had learned three major techniques too. Sakura was now capable of summoning jutsu, a slug like Tsunade's, a self healing jutsu, (also like Tsunade's) and her own original jutsu, involving the release of Inner Sakura.
"I will kill him. I'm going to train, and work hard." Sakura said to herself, a look of anger spread across her face. She sat on a post in the training grounds. She had just finished a long day of punching, kicking and chakra control. "He broke my heart… so I'm gonna break his."
