Sakura walked quietly down the hallway, passing many heavily guarded cells. She had permission to visit Sasuke, who had been dragged back to the village a few days prior. The reason for his imprisonment was the fact that he had yet to achieve his goal of revenge, which caused the Hokage to believe he would attempt escape.

Stopping in front of his cell, Sakura stared sadly at the door. A barrier seal was pasted on its center, preventing anyone from entering or exiting, and forcing her to talk to him through the unfriendly metal.

"It's good to have you back," she said. He did not respond, which was what Sakura had expected. "I know you aren't happy about it; you still want to get revenge, right?"

Again, no answer. She continued anyway.

"I don't blame you. I'd probably feel the same way if someone did to me what he did to you."

Hesitating, she placed her hand against the cold, metallic door. Somehow, she doubted the conversation would've been any different had she been able to see Sasuke's face. Taking a deep breath, she willed the right words to come to mind.

"You… You don't have to do this alone, you know. Naruto, Kakashi-sensei and I, we're all willing to help. We're all here for you."

Silence.

Sakura sighed. "I'll try to visit again later."

With that, she left, doubting her words had made any impact on the Uchiha's mind.
