Hello everybody my name is Trevyler and welcome back to Unwanted Arrangement. So people liked the last chapter and a couple people caught the Star Wars reference. I thought it was fitting for the situation. I also basically killed SasuSaku with Sasuke friend/family zoning Sakura. Just making sure people understand that this will be NaruSaku. I also still haven't picked between SasuHina and SasuKarin yet. I have ideas for both, but I just can't decide. Anyhow, I'll be switching back over to Sakura this chapter. She's not in a main village yet and probably won't be until she gets to Suna. Other than that, I'll never really specify where exactly she is. Just know that she'll be helping people and thinking about home (*cough* Naruto *cough*). Alright let's get started.
CHAPTER 4:SAKURA'S FIRST STOP
Sakura was glad to finally be at her first destination. It was a small village that didn't really have a name, but it was on her list of people to help. Sometimes the smaller villages suffered from war more than the larger ones since they didn't have many defenses or resources.
As she entered she could already tell things were in bad shape. People looked sick or injured and some just looked depressed.
She talked to the head of the village before setting up a small area for patients to be looked after. She helped children, young adults, older adults, and the elderly alike. It wasn't an easy job, but it was much easier than what she was doing in Konoha. She wondered how they were holding up without her.
Kakashi was probably bored to death by the paperwork and irritated by the lack of time available to read his favorite book series. Shizune was probably keeping him in line though. They'd actually been getting along quite well. She and Tsunade had a conversation about the possibility of them ending up in a relationship. Tsunade thought for sure it was a bet she could win and Sakura had to agree.
She brought herself back from her thoughts to focus on her job once more. Unfortunately it was a very hot day which made it uncomfortable for everyone. Some people started fights and tried to push their way to the front of them line. A few guys hit on her, but didn't get any farther than that.
One thing made her smile though. A little boy came to her with a broken arm, but he didn't look bummed at all. In fact he looked like he was more determined than ever.
As sunset started to approach she had finished most if not all of the patients due to it being a very small village.
She decided to take a rest. It had been a long day. Even if she didn't have to do as much as usual, it still wasn't exactly easy to travel for a few days and then get right to work. Especially when she had some things on her mind.
The next thing she knew, she had dosed off in her makeshift quarters.
About an hour later, she felt something nudging her. She brushed it off. It happened again. Her eyes snapped open as she remembered where she was. She looked to her side to see a young girl.
She sat up, "Sorry about that. Do you need some help?" she asked.
The little girl looked down shyly, "My friend hurt his leg while we were playing in the woods. Can you help him?" she answered.
Sakura smiled, "Of course. Can you show me where he is?" she responded.
The little girl nodded and took Sakura's hand, pulling her along gently to guide her to the injured boy.
They ended up in the woods not far from the rest of the village. There was a path with a lot of footprints in it so obviously this route was used often.
It wasn't long before Sakura could make out a shape on the ground in the fading light. He was holding his leg and his looked to have a few cuts and scrapes that were bleeding a little.
He looked up, "Sayu. I told you I didn't need help." he complained.
Sayu shook her head, "Kazui. It doesn't matter what you say. I know you're hurt." she told him.
Sakura knelt down next to him, "Your leg looks pretty bad. Let me see it." she told him.
He complied but mumbled some complaints under his breath while doing so. Sayu smiled at the fact that he wasn't being stubborn. She knew he could be could be like that when he wanted to act tough.
Sakura examined the leg, "This is definitely broken. Not to you mention you're going to have quite few bruises. What were you doing out here to get hurt like this?" she questioned.
He looked away with a red tint of embarrassment on his cheeks, "I was...climbing the trees. When I got to the top I got excited and should up without thinking and fell off." he admitted.
She gave hive a disapproving look, "You should always pay attention when doing something like that. You could've gotten hurt a lot worse." she scolded.
Sayu looked at her, "I tried to tell him that, but he doesn't listen to me." she said sadly.
Kazui looked a bit down at her tone, "Hey don't feel bad. It's me who's the idiot that got hurt. You shouldn't feel bad." he said, trying to make her feel better.
She looked down at the ground, "I know, but I don't like to see people hurt. Especially my friends." she said quietly.
Sakura noticed her change in demeanor, "Sayu it's alright. Both of you can make up and find something safer to do after I fix his leg." she assured the girl.
The girl smiled at this, "Okay. Thank you for doing this." she thanked the pink haired kunoichi.
The older girl smiled in return, "That's what I'm here for." she replied.
She moved over to start working on Kazui's leg. He winced a bit at first but calmed down as she applied chakra to his broken leg. It began to feel soothing.
After a few seconds she stopped, "How does it feel?" she asked him.
To his astonishment he was able to move his leg no problem, "How'd you do that?" he asked in amazement.
Sakura smiled, "I'm a medical ninja. It's what I do. It's actually why I'm here in this village. I have to travel around the world to help other villages who don't have enough medics." she explained.
The two children listened intently. They'd heard a lot about the ninjas, but they'd never met one before. Their small village didn't have their own military force. All they had were some volunteers who acted as guards and police when needed.
Sakura realized it was getting darker by the minute, "Come on guys. I'll bandage you up for you minor scrapes and bruises back in town." she told them.
They obeyed and followed her back towards the village.
Once they got back in town, Sakura took them with her to the tent she'd been working in.
She wrapped some bandages around some of his bigger cuts and his leg for good measure. A couple adults entered the tent, clearly worried.
The women sighed in relief, "Thank goodness you're okay. Sayu. What did we tell you about running off like that? And Kazui, you're father has been looking everywhere for you." she said displeased.
Sayu looked down at her feet, "I was just playing with Kazui. Then he got hurt and I got her to come help him." she replied, gesturing to Sakura.
Sakura nodded, "She's telling the truth. It's a good thing she got me too. His leg was broken and he had several bruises as well." she informed them.
The man looked grateful, "Thank you. Kazui's parents will be very grateful as well." he told Sakura.
The medic shook her head, "It's no problem. That's what I'm here for. I'm the medic ninja from the Leaf." she said.
The parents noticed the headband and nodded in understanding. They took the kids and left soon after. Sakura sighed and decided to turn in for the night so she could be up early and ready to move tomorrow. She could take a few more patients in the morning before she headed out to her next destination.
Chapter 4 complete! Sorry this took so long. I've been busy trying to catch up on some school work. Luckily I have the rest of the week off except for Thursday. Hopefully I can update this, How I Met Your Mother, College Days, Finding the Truth Too Late, and MiraDai Bonding soon. Wish me luck. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter with Sakura. Next time we'll jump back over to Konoha with Naruto and Sasuke to see the chapter I originally planned to be chapter 3. Anyway, If you have any suggestions or comments feel free to PM me or review. Also vote for SasuHina or SasuKarin/KibaHina. Whichever seems to have the most votes by the time I decide will be what I write. SasuHina has the favor right now. Have a great night and I'll see you next time.
