First I would like to say that english isn't my first language so sorry for eventual grammatical errors, second, I started to write this fanfic a long time ago (a little bit before the hokages resurrection) so things that happened after I started writing won't be important to the story (but Neji is alive in this fanfic) and third I posted this fanfic originally in italian on EFP.

Screams and tears, after a long time they were of happiness.

The resurrected body of Uchiha Madara was more nothing and Obito had disappeared, the fourth great ninja war had been won.

Sakura looks from far the hero of the fourth war, that time she wouldn't hug him, she doesn't deserved him, this time she would be content just watching, like he had always done, love wasn't happy as she thought when kid, now she would stay on the back.

She saw him make his way towards Hinata, first stab.

She saw him hug her and then tell her something that she could not hear, second stab.

She saw Hinata look at the ground to then look up again, if possible even happier, she could no longer bear it.

How was he able to look at her looking for another guy and smile, how Hinata was able to see who she loved with her all the time, they deserved to be together, Hinata deserved to be happy with Naruto, instill it was she who had almost died for him, it was she who had been around him during the war, it was she who had always understood him, but Sakura but couldn't , she couldn't see them happy now that she knew she loved him, she couldn't just watch as Naruto maybe was making up a marriage proposal to Hinata while hers cheeks would be tinged with a sweet blush and eyes with tears of happiness and everyone would congratulate for them, she wouldn't manage to stay a moment longer there.

When she felt a hand grab her wrist and stop her race with a smile.

Hinata didn't felt sad or disappointed as she watched him leave, she couldn't picture why, It's always hard to see the person you like go away and go to someone else right? Yet at that moment she felt nothing.

And for some reason she started looking through the crowd commemorating the end of the war, she was searching, not even her know what, but when she met with black, so blank and expressionless as to seem lifeless, eyes, she felt like somehow she found it.

Sasuke was one of the reasons for the victory in that war, but she had no reason to be interested in him, as he had no reason to look at her, if he ever was looking at her of course, but at that moment nothing more counted, nor the noise of the commemorations, nor the people who called her to ask how she was, no, there were only them.

When he turned with the clear intention to leave, this time forever, and breaking the spell, Hinata felt her heart go shattered with the idea of no longer see him, she was not entirely sure why she was running so much just to get where he was, but the idea of losing him for some strange reason was destroying her.

Sakura turned around to see the cheerful smile of Naruto.

- Sakura-chan -

- Why you aren't with Hinata? - She asked slightly stunned, and he looked at her confused.

- Why would I be with her? - he asked innocetly

- You were with her, and you should be with her even now - Sakura said trying to turn around and leave.

It was when she felt Naruto hug her from behind, and despite her intention to come off, she couldn't.

- The one I want to be with, is you, Sakura-chan - he whispered in her ear.

- Is it possible that you are always a baka? - she said and then returned the embrace.

- I love you Sakura-chan -

- I love you baka -

Hinata came at the back of Sasuke and stopped, he stopped too and she couldn't understand his intentions.

- What do you want Hyuuga? - he asked sour, seeming angry.

Hinata gasped, not knowing what to say.

- What, you want me to stay here for your Naruto-kun? - he deduced, Hinata didn't answer, now that she was with him all the adrenaline that had brought her here was gone.

- You're really pathetic, you can't even speak - he started walking again and Hinata finally understood why she followed him, why she wanted to reach him.

- Take me with you - she yelled with her heart in hand.

Sasuke stopped, that seemed to him a scene already seen, and knowing how ended the last time was obviously how would end this time.

Or maybe not?

He turned and Hinata saw in his eyes a silent request.

Love me

- You know that if follow me it would mean give up everything, do you really want to abandon your light to come in the darkness with me? - he didn't wanted that life for her but he was too selfish to tell her no, and then she had a choice.

- No - he was about to leave when he heard her continue - My light I just found it now -

And he had found a reason to fight.

That was a new beginning to everyone
