Without further hesitation, she stepped out into the open, attracting attention from all the guards in the large room. They all just stared at her for a moment, trying to figure out what was going on. Before they could connect the puzzle and strike first, Sakura concentrated her Chakra into her first, and punched the support beam beside her.
She watched, dodging debris, as the destroyed wall created large spider web cracks that spread throughout the structure. She kept a steady flow of Chakra to her feet, easily evading all debris and weapons coming at her. She quickly made her way to the support beam opposite the one she already destroyed and repeated the process.
All of the guards were panicking as the entire structure was starting to come down. She jumped from falling to piece to falling piece before launching herself out of the building and into the air. When she hit the ground, falling gently to one knee, she looked around. There was fighting going on all around her. Her heart soared as she saw the ninja of Konoha fighting to save her. She saw Tsunade, Naruto, and Hinata fighting against her captor, Sasuke's killer.
Sakura watched as Tsunade took hits that she should easily have been able to avoid. Sakura then realized that Tsunade was probably worried out of her mind and it was effecting her fighting. Sakura saw the attack coming before it'd been launched. Their opponent had temporarily incapacitated Naruto and Hinata with genjutsu. They would just be under long enough for his attack to land.
Sakura launched herself at Tsunade, desperate to make it in time. Time slowed down as she saw the man charging at her lover, kunai drawn. She felt her seal fade as her Chakra reserves ran out and she dispelled a small amount of her remaining Chakra into her feet to launch into the air and close the distance between them. She heard Naruto and Hinata call her name as they escaped the genjutsu. She also saw Tsunade turn to look at her, relief and fear flooding her face simultaneously.
Sakura shielded Tsunade from the kunai with her arm. She didn't even flinch as she stood upright and pulled the blade from her arm. She focused her Chakra to her fists and punched him in the gut, sending him flying backwards.
"You killed the man I love!" She shouted, punching him again after he landed, creating a small indention in the ground.
"This is for taking away a good man's bright future," She said, punching him again, digging the hole a little deeper.
"This is for making me hurt someone else that I love," She hit him a little harder.
"This is for his unborn children that will never know Uchiha pride," a little deeper.
"For worrying the one I love," a little deeper.
"And, finally, this is for breaking Naruto's fragile and beautiful heart!" She shouted, delivering one final blow, so powerful that the shockwave knocked everyone off balance.
Sakura stepped out of her large crater, breathless. She'd used a lot of Chakra but she would be okay. She began to feel unsteady, her feet slipping out from under her. Tsunade caught her before she hit the ground.
Naruto watched as Tsunade held Sakura, tears freely flowing from her eyes. He saw the love between them when Tsunade cupped Sakura's cheek in her hand and stared at her face. He looked at his wife when he saw her begin examining Sakura's belly, checking on the baby. He sighed as he saw the look of understanding on his wife's face as she looked at his friends. I still don't understand why she didn't tell me, he looked back at his friends, but there is a lot of love there. Sasuke, I know you'd want her to find love. Even if you didn't approve of the timing. He looked to the sky, sad but understanding. He smiled up at his only brother, knowing he wouldn't want either of them to be unhappy.
"Tsunade, " Sakura said, looking up at her love, "I knew you'd find me."
"I almost didn't have to. We were close but the falling building is what lead us to this exact spot," Tsunade said with a chuckle.
"Well, I wondered what you'd do. Came up with 'destroy something,'" she answered with a bright smile.
"That does sound a bit like me," She responded, just happy to see that she was okay. Exhausted, but okay, she added silently.
"I love you, Tsunade," She said, looking into the older woman's eyes.
Tsunade could worry about why she didn't tell her later. In that moment, she was just happy that she was still alive. She hugged Sakura close and vowed to do it every single day for as long as they both lived.
"I love you too," she answered softly.
"They look weird," Kiba said, sneaking up behind Naruto and Hinata, who were now holding hands.
"They look happy," Naruto said, squeezing his wife's hand.
