When the last seal was broken his chakra returned to him like a wave, flooding his body. He felt alive again; when he hadn't even noticed he had been dead the last few months. He had forgotten what it felt like, to be full of this energy, this power. It was so comforting to have it back, like an old friend, warming his bones.
Sakura laughed and smiled, and he hugged her.
"Thank you!" They went straight to Tsunade to tell her the news.
He returned to Suna in a flurry of activity, that same afternoon. There was no time to get his stuff from her apartment; he didn't need it anyway.
There was no time for goodbyes.
