'Blah blah blah' talking

Dream

"I can't do this alone..." A man with long dark hair murmured as he looked over the lands from a low tree branch. (AN: guess who? )

"What am I saying? This was my dream. To build a great village. The best ninja village that the people have ever seen."

That's right. I can't...I won't give up.

A bright light appeared near his office window. Soon, the light died down and a girl was standing in it's place.

"What...what's going on? Who...are you?" Even though he was a ninja and was trained to be wary of the unknown, his instincts told him that he could trust this girl. Something in him screamed that he even knew this girl. To him, his instincts kept him alive until now, and he wasn't planning to change that anytime soon.

"I am the hope that is in your eyes.

I am the will that drives your mind.

I am the dream that your heart treasures.

I am the light that your hands seek for.

I am everything...yet nothing."

The man stared at the girl wondering if she was real. "Will you...help me fulfill my dream?" "Hai."

Finally, he lifted his arm and patted the girl's head. "Do you have a name?"

The girl silently shook her head.

Turning his head to think, the soon-to-be-hokage laid his eyes on the field of pink and green. As he turned back to the girl, he stretched out his arm to the girl. As she took hold of his hand, her figure solidified and colours slowly spread and adorned her features.

"Lets go. Sakura."

¤¤¤¤¤End Dream

Pitter. Patter.

Emerald eyes slowly revealed themselves to stare out the windows. The sound of rain hitting the windows being the only thing heard throughout the room, the pink haired kunoichi slowly got up. "I better get up." The young woman stood up to stretch and started getting ready for her day.

Sakura has grown even more so, after being with Tsunade-sama. She has grown her hair back to a length of just below her shoulders. Her body has toned nicely from all the training and missions she's done. Although she is now the shortest out of Team Kakashi, she was still tall compared to most women.

Dressed up in the usual jounin uniform, she walked out of her house, letting her features stand out from the murky scenery. After walking for some time, she reached a tent where her precious person was resting in. Going inside the tent, she saw a dark-haired woman sitting next to the blonde ex-Hokage.

"Hello Shizune. You should get some rest. How is Tsunade-shishou doing?"

"Hello Sakura-san. Her physical damages have all been healed…but her she has depleted all her chakra during Pein's invasion and I bet she was stressed during the whole thing."

Looking over at Sakura, she spoke again, "You must be exhausted too, Sakura. Protecting Konoha's borders with Tsunade-sama's absence and Konoha's defenses being weak and all." The pink-haired woman gave a small smile. "It's fine. Are there any news that I should know about?"

"Actually, I'm worried about Naruto. He's going near the meeting of the Kages, and you know how Danzo left to attend that meeting of the Kages? What if Danzo sees him? Also, I heard that Uchiha Sasuke and the remaining Akatsuki might attend the meeting too."

As soon as those words left Shizune's mouth, Sakura's eyes narrowed. "Shizune, take good care of Tsunade-sama. I have something I have to do." "Of course." After hearing her reply, Sakura got up to leave with a goal in mind.

Leaving Tsunade-sama's tent, hidden by the shadows of her hair, Sakura's face let go of the smile and let out a sigh. She suddenly felt wary from all that has happened and for the things that will happen from now on.

How much longer...papa?
