Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Shattered Legacies. Enjoy the 2900-word chapter. I do not own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, and a few others do.
Sakura could only sigh as she looked around before she seemed to be able to relax, looking downwards with amusement as she sighed and looked downwards at the ground before she yawned, tired as of now unfortunately.
All of it was exhausting as she was forced to ponder just what to try and figure out what to do next. She looked downwards at the ground before she tipped her head towards them.
She looked upwards before looking at Naruto who had been unable to relax once more. Naruto looked downwards before rubbing at his temples.
"He's alive if you want to talk to him, he didn't know if he was going to make it so he told me part of what you needed to know and something else," Sakura stated before she clicked her fingers on the ground.
"And you wanted to talk to him before he died…" Naruto said before he sighed. "I'm guessing he didn't want to talk to you." Sakura stayed silent before she seemed to be able to relax once more as she seemed to be able to understand.
"You, ok?" Naruto asked before she looked upwards at the ground.
"Yes. Just tired, I am entirely focused on healing them, they are healed properly." Sakura said before crossing her arms across her chest. "They're not dead, they just entirely focused on keeping the information safe," Sakura said which was given a nod.
Neither of them seemed to be able to relax as she continued to tap on her arms and legs. She knew entirely what was expected of a Shinobi.
They did not want to compromise their objective and it was not like this did not entirely make sense. She had been a shinobi long enough to understand what was going on, and all of it pointed more and more to outside factors being a problem…. One she could not for the life of her see a positive outcome for now.
This was not a nightmarish nightmare for now. All of it seems to be a problem upon the night's end for now. She did not know when it came down to it now.
She was able to relax once more and cracked her fingers, looking at him with a nightmarish glare he knew all too well upon the moment. She clicked her fingers into place as well, determined by every single little crack in the mirror to do better, far better than she had before.
"You didn't come here just to tell me what's going on," Naruto said before standing up.
"And you didn't bring me here just because you're my friend, what's going on here?" Sakura said before she crossed her arms.
"You have been saddened by everything at the end of the day. Is it him or something else bothering you?" Sakura heard before she sighed to herself once more.
The ideas running through her head were unmistakable for now, truly, they were. All of it seemed to be coming down on her like a torrent, like a flood.
"There is a lot more going on than Sasuke, Naruto. I have been busy, and so have you." Sakura responded with a sigh.
"Maybe, but not this way that it should be explained." She said as she placed a hand on his temple and pushed it to the side, trying to study how his skin felt for now.
It was odd, very odd in its way yet it did not end anytime soon. Nope, it just cut to the deep in so many damn ways. She pressed a finger at his skin before she pushed his skin to the side to better inspect his skin, damaged now.
She did not know what had happened, did not wish to for now, and yet? it would continue to try and figure out something that could be dealt with for now.
She sighed to herself, turned away from the soldier, and turned to Naruto. She raised an eyebrow, knowing that she was having something kept from her, and yet? She could not explain it as of now when it came down to it as she paused to herself.
"He is not well; he has not been well for a few days at least. I am surprised he is even alive for now…" Sakura stated before she rolled downwards to the ground, utterly silent as of now before she looked to the ground before pausing to himself.
Whatever was dealt with? It would not be best dealt with; it was never going to be able to relax once more. This was not going to be dealt with for now, knowing that it would be worse and worse now.
She looked downwards at the ground, utterly thrown off, for now, something that could not be dealt with now.
This meant something to him, an idea that could be done and dusted for now and he wished to keep growing for now… It meant something to be done and dusted for now… He wanted to get through for it.
There was a LOT more to this and something that would not interfere with their options… It meant little for now and he would not be able to keep growing, for now, this would not be utterly done for now… This did not at all end well for now it could relax.
She seemed to keep cutting through it purely and utterly, she paused to keep growing for now and then looked for now.
She seemed to keep growing for now and then seemed to be utterly unsure of what to deal with it for now and then seemed to be thrown for now and paused.
Sakura looked at him, too interested for now, and then paused to keep growing for now and then seemed to be done and dusted with for now and then looked downwards at the ground.
She seemed to be thrown across the rest of the area for now and could relax with such an issue to be utterly thrown for now. This was a lot more to see and do next, too much to try and understand for now, too much to deal with for now.
There was too much to deal with for now, idealistic for now, and wished to keep relaxing, too interested in for now, too relaxed, too incapable of the same mercy that she had before. She looked at him and flicked himself to see and deal with for now… Too unsure of what was to happen next.
She was a warrior, too much consumed for now, unwilling to deal with it all for now… There was too much pain, too much agony on her mind as she seemed to be utterly chaotic for now. They had a lot more on the same ideal for the moment to try and conflict with.
It all felt odd, it all felt unsure and it all ended with something to deal with for now… He seemed to be able to click he had a lot more to try and deal with and a lot more on his mind as he relaxed, too chaotically over it all for now.
There was a lot more to their goals for now which bothered them both to a degree not long since forgotten. It had been a while since she had seen suffering on someone's face to the point where she worried about their safety. She did not know what was going on, nor did it at all seem to be best dealt with for now.
She sighed and looked over at her patient while knowing they were in her hands and she was in no real condition to have helped or saved them.
The logic was something that terrified her to the end, making her place a finger on his forehead in the same comfort as someone who had been entirely focused.
She sighed while thinking as to how it may or may not be able to save him now and for good, even. It made her too different as to how it could be done and dusted next for good reason.
Such a thing only served to make things more divided on what came next and why things were to have been those ways in the first place.
Perhaps it was better for she did not know what she would do with the fact she was thrown off for now and nothing appeared to change that for now when it came down to it.
She cracked her fingers, ready to fall apart at the drop of a hat while looking to the side.
"I do not know who attacked us if that is something you are going to ask. They hit hard, fast… Killed like shinobi but they wanted blood, not answers… So, if anything? I cannot help you there." He stated.
Sakura said nothing for she knew more and more that it made sense. If Shinobi wanted to strike? They would not have any gear that identified them, not even a headband one would drop, it would give away their identity and allow retaliation against their handlers and a chance to cripple them from attack.
Still? Why they wanted a mere messenger dead was odd unless it meant they did not know what was being told and were desperate to have prevented it for now when push came to shove at the end of the day.
So much had been done to try and deal with, for now, the chaos that had cut into her brain up and done with such pain and suffering that it might drive one insane for now.
Yes, it hurt and it was hard to deal with for now as he paused to try and deal with it for now of the day nor ever. She would not have been allowed to see it all come to an end.
He was too bored, too unable to do more than a grin. He could not believe it was possible to have to try and do and for now and he had been too interested.
He had been able to try and figure it out as he had been able to try and deal with it either way, he had known what was going on and he had zero reason to want to try and figure it all out as he seemed to be prepared for now as it came down to it… He had not been able to try and deal with it as he paused.
He had not been able to try and deal with it either way.
Sakura placed a finger on his temple, pushing his skull to the side as she paused.
He could not contain his amusement lest it all come tumbling down the wire for now as it came down to it for now. There was a lot for now. He had such wonders for now as he clicked his fingers against the wall before he seemed to think of what was going on in his mind.
There was something else on his mind, a chaos that was wrong and was tearing through his mind before he paused, letting himself what he seemed to think.
He hummed before he looked to the side she seemed to look downwards. Sakura was silent, she had nothing to say before he seemed to be thinking of what was going on before he clicked his fingers and then thought of it.
To be fair? There was nothing else on, it did not make sense and he could not let it end for now when push came to shove… All of it seemed to be dealing with it sooner or later.
She could not understand it and neither could he, neither of them would be able to figure it out for now. Those sorts of things were harder and harder with it for a long time with an effort to push it from his mind.
If she knew damn well whatever happened next? Whatever came because of it all? That was not going to change at all and she knew it, she knew exactly how well things were going, exactly what buttons to press.
She pressed a finger to his temple, feeling the blood pulse through him. He had been too unable to do much besides now…. Besides what needed to be dealt with all the way done and she knew damn well what was going on at the end of the day, what little needed to be endured to finish it? She did not know… But she did know very well there was more to this than she gave credit for…
Whatever happened? Happened, she was a Ninja. This was work and she would not whine or scream or hate upon work being done to fix it for a good reason.
She knew damn well what was expected of a Shinobi, damn well that she was a ninja and she had an oath. Yet? Part of her was mad at Naruto for not even confiding in her.
Granted? Naruto had reasons… And she had been a horrid person before, but it was going to be for their reason and she knew it.
"Was this mission so important someone had to die to get what they wanted?" Sakura asked.
"Would you like an answer I don't have or something else?" She heard as she snorted and reclined in the chair next to the operating table.
She was not at all stupid nor was she willing to act like she knew better. She knew what he meant and she knew why he asked. It was a question to which she did not hold the answer at all.
Not at all did she know what was going on and she knew it to be harder and harder to figure out, nothing about it needed to be done, and dusted nothing about it would be harder to do.
She held nothing against them, nothing at all when push had come to shove at the end of the day. There was nothing about it that needed to be done and nothing about it which needed to fix it.
Either she would die or she would thrive in the way she knew how, there was a little amusement in her tone as she poked her side.
Something about it all seemed to be harder and harder to deal with now and for good reason… Even if wished? They held a lot more to deal with, something about it all came crashing to the ground, understandable sooner or later.
Sakura was silent as she paused to think of what was growing in her mind as she paused to think of what was to happen.
She was too interested in who had been too interested in what was growing on the end of the soldier in front of her as she paused.
Sakura seemed to be dealt with and she sighed to herself as she wished to think once more. She was eager to think of what was growing on her mind as she wished to know more and more.
Sakura was interested as she looked at him before she thought once more before. All of her was annoyed, she was tired and worn down by thinking of what to tell her friend… What her friend had seemed to be dealt.
Sakura was too eager to try and deal with it. She did not want to grow to be done and dusted at the end of the moment.
Sakura was tired… Tired of him, of life around them, tired of every single little thing that was going on that had befallen them now and for good reason. IT had been fun to pretend something had not gone wrong but they would be KIDDING themselves if they did not find anything wrong with it.
She sighed to herself, simply ready to give up now. To be fair? It was not like she had EVER not tried; she was giving it her all here.
She looked down at her charge. She was still a doctor and as such? She still had to help, she was not going to just pretend she could not help and then shrug it off as 'Oh well, I tried.' Sakura was not some crappy back-alley doctor who gave out rusty tools.
She sighed to herself, too exhausted and too unable to think of it any properly now. She did not at all know how well it would go when push came to shove…. Something about it all became harder and harder to reconcile from now on when it all was coming crashing down.
She and he were in different little bubbles, it seemed… With he on one side and she confined to another now. it would end… Very end now as of now at the time being, something to have to handle now.
Something about it all had made her laugh at the time, something that Sakura was used to… Still? She had been eager to think of now and for good reason.
She was all too much of a warrior now at the time being, something about that almost tore him to bits inside and out, he would have laughed if not due to how… Insane it should have been like now at the time being.
Something about it all had been tiresome at the end of it now and it would be dealt with for now.
