OK so the next chapter will be a time skip because I honestly decided that going from day to day until the final revival was done would be both monotonous and repetitive. A list of some of the people to be revived is in this chapter. I know some names are going to be spoilers and others are going to be a shock. If you haven't figured it out yet Sakura is not going to be paired with Sasuke. I'm sorry but I don't like him and refuse to budge on that. Finally, the way I see it is Sakura's character is suppose to be strong and able to take a lot of shit, not to mention an unconditional lover. She has bouts of low self esteem, self doubt, and a slight fear of inferiority. So when she is in a situation where someone may like her she is oblivious to a degree. You wont miss out on anything from the time skip I promise and Kakashi will be back as well. I know its short and Im sorry for that but I'm tired from dealing with personal issues and I have to get some sleep so I can get up early tommorow. As always reviews are not necessary but are inspirational.
Sakura returned home in the hour shortly before daybreak exhaustion clearly written upon her tiny form. Her vision framed with a white and spotted. The throb within her head threatening to cause her skull to blow off in every direction. Her body ached with fatigue and threatened to give out. She couldn't believe some of the suggestions for revival. Even more she couldn't stand some of the reasons they gave. Like hell she was going to revive someone so they could be interrogated and then put to death. It seemed that the purpose for her jutsu was completely lost on many of the revival committee. She rolled her eyes mentally, she was to tired to do it physically. Each name caused a new argument, and each argument ended with a stiff vote that was either turned away or accepted by Sakura. She had vetoed several candidates with little effort before the people around her realized one fact. She would not break under pressure. She had morals and would not allow them to be corrupted by anyone or anything.
Dropping her shoes at the door and dragging her feet along the soft carpet she groaned almost tripping. She tossed her bulky file on the kitchen table and rubbed her eyes with another groan. She was hungry, and tired but which one was to win her body's favor? Her musing was put to an end as a grumble from her stomach made itself known. Opening the door to her fridge her eyes landed on a covered bowl and plate. Grabbing the bowl and uncovering it she found a lazy attempt at a salad. Shrugging she sat with her salad and began to eat glaring at the file in front of her like it was some nameless assassin. It's target was her hours of sleep. Finishing her meal and depositing the dishes in the sink, which seemed so much harder than it really was, her thoughts drifted to the project. She attempted once more to ignore the file this time verbally. "Just ignore it and go to bed."
Turning from the sink she looked again at the folder in front of her. The assassin had won and now her defeat was immanent. Those bastards thought they had pulled the wool over her eyes when referring to the Uchiha complex restoration. She knew what was coming when it was mentioned. She wasn't stupid about the reason Konoha had decided to go last either. They had planned to strike when she was tired and worn out. She knew the circumstances behind the massacre. The files she required for her research allowed her to learn of it. Her heart went out to Itachi. The man had sacrificed his entire life for his little brother only to have Sasuke fuck that up as well. So she had decided that only four Uchiha were to be revived: Itachi, Shisui, Mikoto, and Sasuke. She had fought Sasuke's revival with every fiber of her being. Still they had managed to convince her to revive him with the condition his Sharingan was to be sealed away. There reasoning was Itachi and Mikoto would not be able to successfully complete the rehabilitation process if Sasuke was not alive.
Naruto had won his arguments to revive Pein, Konan, Deidara, Kakuzu, Kisame, and to everyone's surprise. Haku. He knew Sakura had a soft spot for the man whom fooled everyone to think he was a woman. Naruto argued that Pein needed to resume control over Amegakure due to the fact he could not be the Kage of two villages at once. Konan would support him and help him through the process of rehabilitation and had been the one to renew the alliance. Kakuzu took a while to become accepted but soon his skills in money management had out weighted there objections. No one would have to help the economy this way and it would not struggle. Kisame's legendary swordsman title was enough to allow his revival since no one else could figure out Samehada enough to effectively put it to work. Deidara was ban from Iwagakure which was fine with Naruto. He and the rest of the council had agreed that Deidara would be a free agent of Amegakure this way he could perfect his technique and still teach other villages how to make C4.
She had unconsciously begun to go through the file and found the revival list. Yup he sleep was effectively defeated. Her eyes moving down the page as she made a mental check list of each Shinobi. Many of the names she didn't know, some were fairly familiar but she couldn't place a face. Some she knew but either hadn't seen ever or hadn't seen before there death. She wasn't provided with pictures either so she was going into this blind in some cases.
"Shibito Azuma, Deidara, Fū (Jinchūriki), Haku, Kisame Hoshigaki, Kakuzu, Konan, Nagato, Minato, Itachi, Shisui , Kushina, Ginji, Suigetsu Hōzuki, Jūgo, Yahiko." Closing the folder she sighed and stood. It was going to be a long couple of years that was for sure and the worst part was she had so many other things to do. Kakashi's condition to worry about and a compound to design. Would she really be able to take all this stress? Especially since now she would be watched day and night so as not to have a 'romantic relationship' with her completely uninterested friends. This was going to be a long couple of years.
