This is the next day of the previous story, in this day Sakura has to take part of the meeting which will decide whether Sasuke can stay in Konoha or leave from the village. But if she try to stop Sasuke from reviving his clan in Konoha, he will harm everyone in Konoha including herself since there's no one can stop him this time. So what's Sakura's decision?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura holds Naruto's hand while sitting next to him in the hospital's room. Naruto is still unconscious. There's also still no signs that Kakashi will wake up soon. The court will start in 4 hours, and she hasn't made her decision yet.

Suddenly Suzune appears and with gentle smile she says to Sakura: "Good morning, Sakura. It's so early that you come here…"

"Ah, Suzune. I don't know you're coming. I just want to see Naruto and Kakashi-sensei…" Sakura drags her hand from Naruto's arm. But without it Suzune has already knew that something is happening between Sakura and Naruto. She just smiles.

"Sakura, everything will be ok. After the last medication last night I can barely presume that they just need 3 weeks until they can recover. After all thanks to them that Akatsuki can be stopped. They've worked very hard to save Konoha."

"I know it very well, Suzune… I owe them many things."

"You've already made the decision right, Sakura? I guess that's what people are waiting from you today."

Sakura looks at Suzune's suspicious eyes. "Yes, of course. I've already thought about it for nights."

"Sasuke doesn't want to negotiate with people except they're member of Team 7. He doesn't consider Yamato or Sai as the members of course so you're the only one who can talk to him. You are the only hope from Konoha who can stop him this time."

"Suzune, is there anything else you can do to help me? There must be anyone who can fight him! What about Neji? What about Gai-sensei? I cannot betray Naruto again…" Sakura says while staring at Naruto next to her. Suzune almost choked after hearing Sakura's words.

"Just say that I do not understand by the meaning of your betrayal to Naruto. But all I can answer is there's no one who can fight against Sasuke right now. Both Neji and Gai-sensei are still in recovering state. Even tough they are conscious they are almost cannot stand at all. On the contrary, Sasuke probably is the only defense that Konoha have right now seeing that maybe Kabuto will come back and avenge his master's death to Konoha…"

"Yeah, there're so many problems that we've to face after Akatsuki…"

"Then I think you should prepare for the meeting, are you sure you don't want to meet Sasuke and talk to him before his judgement?"

Well, I've talked to him yesterday. Sakura says to herself. "I think there's nothing I want to say to him. I will meet him in the meeting, right now I want to calm myself. Please take care of Naruto and Kakashi-sensei for me, Suzune…"

"Of course, Sakura. Don't worry about it."

****

Sakura sits in the opposite bench from the elders and clan-leaders of Konoha who sit in front of her in the judging room. Some of them are still in bandages after the last battle against Danzo and Akatsuki. And she can feel Sasuke's present as everyone in the room begin to murmur about him.

"So, that's Sasuke Uchiha!"

"He's the traitor!"

"OMG, why he's here?"

"Some people believe that he's the only defense that Konoha have right now."

"I believe he wants to overcome our village with reviving his clan here..."

"What's Sakura's plan now? Will she defend him?"

Sakura tries to neglect the tense athmospherearound her. But she begins to feel cold as Sasuke Uchiha comes to her, and sits beside her. He's using a big and large haori with Uchiha symbol in his back. She admits that he's still the same, he's very handsome yet so arrogant and full of confidence as the world is in his arms.

"I believe you still remember our conversation yesterday. And I think you have made the right decision." Sasuke says after sits next to her.

"And I believe you will keep your promise, Sasuke." she replies while looking at him.

"Promise?"

"Promise that you won't harm anyone in Konoha after I help you..."

"Do I say that? I just said that I will harm anyone who disturb me reviving my clan."

"No you didn't say that, I say that. That's the requirements."

"Sakura, you know you can't stop me."

"That's if you want me TO HELP YOU..." she stares at him.

"Haruno-san, Uchiha-san, we will begin the judgement now. I hope you've made your decision. Especially Haruno-san, your credibility as Hokages' apprentice will be asked by your decision in this case." the jury says to them and everyone stop speaking at the same time.

"So, Haruno-san, after seeing this Uchiha successor betray, and neglect Konoha, become a missing-nin and an international assassin, now he's back and wants to revive his clan in our village. What's your opinion about this?" the jury asks as Sakura Haruno stares in the opposite bench.
