I don't own naruto.

Sakura rushed to the hospital along with Naruto and Sai. Other villages would brush it off if one of their ninja died in battle, but in the Hidden leaf if someone gets hurt, they will do anything to save that person.

So that's exactly what had happened. Everyone was rushed to a room. Tsunade placed a hand on each of their foreheads and announced, "They all used too much chakra. We're going to have to wait for it all to repelish. Of course, at this state it can take weeks… months even." she sat down on a chair and then rested her head on her hand.

"Tsunade!" a nurse called and then then nurse pointed at a door nearby. Tsunade rushed out of the room ready for healing. Her hands were already surrounded by a glowing green chakra.

'This isn't fair…' some tears were starting to form again in Sakura's eyes. 'This always happens to them! Even Ino is surpassing me again!' she rubbed her eyes quickly.

Ino was laying on a hospital bed with her hair down. She was still in her ninja outfit which was clean of anyone's blood. Next to her was Sasuke's bed. They had actually taken off his shirt that time but left him in his pants. There were several wounds on his chest when several ninja were actually about to hurt him. Suigetsu was next to him. His sword he usually used in battle was set aside near a small table and a big jug of water was placed there at the same time. Jugo had a peaceful look on his face. Karin was still in the cloths she was in when she was fighting.

Several more ninja walked into the room. Hinata had a hand holding her sleeve and a nervous look in her eyes. Kiba walked in holding a paw for Akamaru. Sakura quickly ran toward the dog and healed the paw as she stood up she healed a big wound on Kiba's arm. Shino didn't seemed to have any harsh cuts and the same was said for Hinata.

"Hello." Hinata waved a hand.

Sakura waved her own hand back in response and then sat down on a nearby chair to sulk at her friends that were in the hospital beds. Kiba and Shino looked at them both and then toward the people on the beds. "See ya… I have to go check up on some other people," said Kiba. Akamaru made a whimpering noise and then left with his master. Shino looked at Hinata, Sakura, the ninja on the beds and then left quietly.

Several beeps were heard throughout the room. "I'm sorry," Hinata's soft voice said.

"For what?" Sakura turned her head away from Hinata and toward the window outside.

"Them." Sakura turned around to see Hinata gestured her arm toward Ino, Sasuke, Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo.

Jugo moved a little in the hospital bed. Sakrua rushed toward him and said toward Hinata, "It doesn't matter.. They're going to get healthy again, eventually." her hands were surrounded by a green colored chakra. She placed it over Jugo's heart.

"Byakugan..' a small voice said. Hinata's eyes widened. "Wow.. His chakra.. Returns… fast."

"Sure does… I just wish Sasuke's and Ino's would do that too.." Sakura calmed down as she saw that Jugo had finally relaxed.

Hinata turned her eyes toward their forms and looked at them. "Sasuke's chakra is coming back faster… but Ino's… is barely any.." Hinata's voice began to break down and tears started to slowly form around the edges of her eyes.

Sakura looked over at her and then gave her a hug. "Don't worry… I'm sure they're going to be fine."

"Hey guys…" Naruto walked into the room in his regular cloths instead of his hokage cloths. Sai followed behind them fakin a smile.

Sakura gave an uncertain smile back. While Hinata helplessly blushed at the sight of Naruto. Kakashi followed them along with Lee, Tenten, and Neji.

"I heard someone almost died," Neji said. His eyes were cloths and he was leaning on a wall near Jugo quietly.

Tenten threw a kunai sharply at him. He caught it easily. Instead Tenten ran toward him and punched him in the head. "It's rude to say that! You come here and then first thing you say is that? For real?" she shook her head at him disapprovingly.

Lee ran around the room twice before Tenten caught his arm to slow him down. "No running in here," she said quietly toward him.

Lee turned his head at what she was looking at and quickly saw Sakura by the window, crying. Nobody said anything as they noticed Sakura crying. Sakura wiped at her tears and gave a brave smile Ino had taught her a few months ago. "I'm sorry! Something really flew into my eyes." she rubbed at them again.

"At the same time?" Sai asked. Which also earned a hit from Tenten for no reason at all. "What was that for?"

"Your stupidity," she answered back and then punched his arm again, but this time just for the fun. Sai rubbed his arm where he knew a bruise was really beginning to form.

Neji looked around and said, "Byakugan.." he focused his eyes on Karin first. "Karin… is probably going to wake up around.. Next week or so.. Jugo might wake up.. Tomorrow or the day after that. Suigetsu is going to wake up around next week… Sasuke s going to wake up around… next week and Ino.. I can't tell.." he looked away from her form.

Hinata looked at it instead and then walked closer. "Next month." she had a sad look on her face. "It's her birthday next month… I hope she wakes up by then.."

"I'm sure she will. If she has the will of fire. The fire country," Naruto said. His voice was confident.

Sakura thought back toward when Ino wanted to show her Ino's new jutsu.

Flashback

Ino happily made fast hand signs. A fire began to glow from her heart and then it floated away from her heart. It began to split itself into several pieces and it began to float around her.

"Haha…" she pointed at a dummy and Sakura watched as one of the fires floating around her removed itself and then at high speed burnt itself into the dummy. A big circular hole was seen from Sakura's point of view.

Another fire replaced itself in the other one's previous spot. Ino happily clapped her hands. "Isn't it amazing? I created it myself!"

Sakura smiled at Ino. "It's is amazing! Wow…. Too bad I don't have fire element chakra…" her sentence began to trail off as she placed a finger under her chin.

"I'm going to teach you it anyway! The best part is that you don't need fire element chakra!" Ino made the hand signs again in slow motion.

Sakura copied it and then waited for something to happen.

Ino frowned. "To be honest. Anyone can do this. Well, not everyone. Just people from this village. Special people… I guess you don't have that will yet.. Train on that," she said and then held her hands out in an open hug.

"What do you mean will?"

Ino laughed. "You'll find out soon enough! Really you will! And then we'll both give it another try to that jutsu! I want you to learn it.. I want everyone to! It will be like a village jutsu!" she spun around quickly.

End of Flashback

"She does.. I've seen her… she really does have the will," Sakura said.

Shikamaru and Choji both walked into the room. "Sorry about being late… Choji was hungry.. And I needed to check on things," said Shikamaru.

"It's okay!" Lee did a fast salute and then gestured them happily in.

Neji turned around and said, "I have to go.. I have training to do." he walked out of the door. Tenten followed after Neji.

Naruto looked at everyone in the room and said in a happy cheerful voice, "Who wants to go out for ramen?"

Sakura shook her head. "I want to wait for them to wake up…"

"I want to be first to see them wake up!" Lee raised one of his hands and then eyed each of them quickly.

Choji chewed the chips in his mouth and then swallowed them quickly. "I want to wait for Ino. Shikamaru wants to too," he answered quickly. Shikamaru made no motion to object at all.

Sai walked away quietly toward the Anbu headquarters without any further words. Naruto turned toward Hinata and said, "Hinata, do you want to go out for some ramen? Nobody else would go.. And I don't want to go alone."

Hinata blush. Naruto hadn't realize he had just asked her out on a date like that. "Sure…"

"Alright!" Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand and happily dragged her outside.

Sakura smiled. 'Maybe… just maybe they'll finally get a chance together…' the door opened even further to reveal the sand siblings.

"Hello. We wanted to check if some of the ninjas here were in good condition," Gaara said. He looked toward Ino. He took some steps toward her and then brushed her bangs away from her face carefully. "Hm..? What happened to them?"

Sakura shook her head and said, "Battle…"

"Too much chakra?" Gaara looked down at Ino's face. Kankuro made a face as he bent over the bed to see Karin's face.

Temari gave a fast peck on Shikamaru's lips. He kissed back without hesitation. Kankuro made a face with Shikamaru's action. Gaara swung some sand at him and then said, "Don't kiss my sister in front of me."

Shikamaru pulled away lazily and then laid back on a chair. He looked at Ino's face and then grabbed one of her hands. Shikamaru gently placed her hand on his cheek and quickly took a fast nap.

"Aw… isn't Shikamaru just so cute like that!" Temari chooed at Shikamaru.

Everyone stared at her action. Kankuro pointed a finger at her and said, "Where's my sister?" he quickly got behind her and then took a hold of her hands.

"You dumb ass. It's me." Temari rolled her eyes and then felt his hands on her. She quickly slapped the back of Kankuro's head.

Sakura looked at them. 'Ino was like a sister toward me… Naruto.. Well he's beginning to get busy with becoming the hokage..' Sakura moved toward Jugo when his band moved. 'Everyone is becoming independent..'

She sighed. 'What am I going to do now….' she shook her head and then walked out of the door.

"Where are you going?" Gaara's cold voice said.

Sakura took off her gloves and brushed some of her hair out of her face. "To help the other patients. I can't stay here forever."

"You want to stay and see them wake up like the rest of us." Gaara turned away from the door and focused on the people in front of him.

…..THE NEXT DAY…...

Jugo opened his eyes and then sat straight up. Sakura ran into the room still fumbling with the gloves on her hands. "Are you alright?" she asked and then placed a hand over a wound that had opened again.

"I'm fine." he held out his hand and then looked around the room. His teammates and a girl named Ino was all on a hospital bed near them. He pointed at Suigetsu and said, "What happened to them?"

"They.. were injured during the war.. They won't really wake up in a few… weeks.. Or so?" Sakura spilled some water into Suigetsu's mouth. She felt him slightly swallow. "Just.. Calm down or so.. Do you want a tour of the village in the mean time?"

Jugo laid back onto the bed. "I rather wait for them to wake back up," he said in a soft voice.
