Minato likes to consider herself a smart woman. She also likes to believe that she knows her family inside and out. So when Shisui and Itachi interrupted her afternoon tea with anger rolling off them in waves, it was safe to say, she was alarmed. Especially when Shisui is usually cheerful and Itachi composed and almost peaceful. What didn't surprise her was her soungest sons' reaction to the news about Sakura. Naturally he was alarmed and it made her wonder why no one had told him before now. And although the two eldest were acting abnormally, Mikoto didn't acknowledge anything, prefering to save it for later disection.

Sasuke's immediate reaction to hearing his teammate was currently hospitalized was fear. Fear of what she said, or what was speculated about the incident. And then as reality set in, Sasuke realised that he was so incredibly angry. How dare that weak conniving little pest have the audacity to go to the HOSPITAL !? Doesn't she realise there will be an investigation! Does she want to get him into trouble? His anger bubbling through his chakra pathway, he decided to find out the answers surrounding his teammate's health.
As he walked at a slow, almost predatory-like pace towards the hospital, Sasuke fantasized about the conversation up ahead
*IN SASUKE'S HEAD
.."Hey Sa-ku-ra, how ARE you feeling?" hissed Sasuke with a twisted smirk.
"b-better Sasuke-kun, I'm sorry I am so weak and pathetic that I couldn't handle the scratches and scrapes I deserved to receive by y-ou." Sakura responded, her eyes downcast.
His daydream was cut short when the hospital came into view.

Sakura knew that leaving the hospital would probably piss off ALOT of people but she refused to focus on that. Instead, she preferred to focus on her task at hand, making rocks disintegrate. Sakura only managed to crumble a few boulders when she started to feel somewhat lightheaded. Her medic instincts told her to slow down but a small part of her, the kunoichi part of her, adamently refused. two punches later and that once small thought was now a raging goal in her mind. "Don't stop! Don't be weak! Don't!" before she could finish her mantra, Sakura lost control of her chakra, releasing it all into the air around her and collapsed, pale and shaking. She felt so weak, so alone. Emerald eyes started to mist. How could she possibly keep up with Shisui and Itachi? She was just a weak pathetic, pink haired girl who couldn't even train. Sakura started to see black spots cloud her vision along with tears. feeling a sticky wetness pool on her lap, she assumed she was crying. But when Sakura wiped her eyes, they were only slightly damp. She then glanced down and all she saw was red, and suddenly. the world around her spun as her conciousness faded into black.
