Chapter 2-The students of yesterday…the fighters of today

 

Sakura couldn't sleep that night. She was lying there, tossing and turning. She just couldn't get what Sasuke said out of her head. She was just grateful that someone came in before she had to say anything to him.

 

***********Flashback***********

“Sakura, just so you know…” Sasuke tried holding back his tears, but he was failing. “I would do anything to take it back.”

Sakura just looked at Sasuke, finally realizing that he knew what he was saying. Sasuke couldn't bare looking at her shocked face, so he turned his head and started to cry openly, but silently.

Sakura was saved from having to do or say anything, because one of the medics came in, saying she had to check on Sasuke. And so I left, without saying any kind of goodbye.

The next morning-

 

“Sakura, Tsunade-sama gave me orders to gather a team and go with Jiraiya-sama on a mission. We are trying to find Naruto.” Kakashi was informing Sakura while they were waiting in line at the mission office, trying to find out what genin would be available.

When they got up to the front of the line, they found that the numbers of available genin were slim, but they were at least some of the strongest.

 

Genin available

Inuzuka, Kiba

Nara, Shikamaru

Hyuga, Hinata

Hyuga, Neji

Rock Lee

 

“Well Sakura, take your pick.” Kakashi said, pointing to the list.

Sakura looked it over and over. She was thinking over everyone's jutsus, over all strength, battle experience. She finally came to a conclusion.

“Kakashi-sensei, I personally think that with this type of mission, we should take all of them.” She looked up hopefully.

Kakashi stood looking at the list, considering her suggestion. Then after a minute he said,

“Well, I to think that it is a good idea. But, it all depends on what Tsunade-sama says. So, I will go talk to her immediately, and while I do that I want you to go and tell the genin to get ready just in case.” With that he disappeared from his spot leaving Sakura there to go tell everyone else.

Sakura looked at the first name on the list-Inuzuka, Kiba-and started running as fast as she could to the Inuzuka home.

“Kiba, open up, and hurry while you're at it. This is extremely urgent.” Sakura was yelling this in between her knocking on Kiba's door.

“Yawwwn…Sakura, do you know what time it is?”

“Yes Kiba, it's 10:00, now go get your gear. I need your help.”
