FLASH BACK

“Sakura, since the rounds are done. It is time to relax. Could you bring me that case of Sake from the stores, bring up two cups.” Tsunade says with a slight groan, as she massages her neck.

Sakura does as she is bid and puts the case on Tsunade’s desk. “I am gonna head home now, Sensei.” She turns to leave, however it’s Tsunade’s voice that stops her.

“I hate to drink alone. You’re old enough: take a seat for a couple of rounds.” Tsunade says as she pours the drinks. ‘Tonight I will find out what is troubling my student that she nearly kills herself each time she works on a patient.’

Sakura does as asked, taking a cup.

“So, Sakura, how is ‘Team 7’ doing? I have not heard much since last month.” Tsunade asks.

“They are good. Though, they still think they need to protect me. However, other than that they are good, I assume. I have not seen them in nearly two weeks.” Sakura says with a sad sigh.

Tsunade arches an eyebrow knowing this is gonna take awhile and starts talking about patients and other things though the night. It takes nearly four bottles of Sake before Sakura loosens her lips to spill what she has been hiding deep inside.

“…And to top it all off, They all think I am weak. Sasuke has said ‘You are weak, and annoying.’ Naruto is off studying wit that Ero-Sensei of his, the pervert. While Kakashi, *soft sigh* who is this villages’ Adonis is taking over Sasuke as a pupil. *tears are building in her eyes* I have no one. Save you, Sensei, however, I have lost my friends to the road of life. *starts laughing* ‘I got lost on the road of life.’ Wonder if Kashi-kun would mind if I borrowed his most family quote.” Sakura’s eyes are filled with tears, they spill down her cheeks unchecked. Tsunade who is still on her third glass is shocked to hear this, but smiles at her young student. As Saruka’s head falls, soft snores are heard after the out burst.

‘So, it’s the fault of ‘her boys’ that is causing this problem. I wonder how long it will before she leaves them behind.

THIS LAST January

“Tsunade-sama, may I talk to you?” Sakura asks at the end of the day.

“Sure Sakura, would you like some Sake?” Tsu-sama asks.

“No, no I think I will stay sober this time.” Sakura laughs gently. “A few girls and I were wondering if we could leave the village for a few. We need to practice on our own. Maybe even for a few years. However, I will keep in touch with you. Let you know what we are doing. When we girls feel its time, we will return, if that’s ok with you?”

Tsunade looks quite shocked and seems to think on this for a few. “Have the men been giving you and the girls trouble?” From Sakura’s nod, Tsunade sighs. “Yes, you may. Just let me know, somehow and I will make sure your way is clear. Sauna will welcome you with open arms. I will send a letter to Gaara and let him know to expect you ladies with in the next, say Six months?”

Nodding Sakura smiles in relief, before leaving the office, she hugs Tsunade-sama with tears. “If men weren’t block heads, life would be easy.” Tsunade whispers.

END OF FLASH BACK

Tsunade looks at the guys around her, each one with the look of lose and sadness.

“What am I gonna tell UNCLE, or TEN-TEN father?” Neji actually looks scared.

“What of Ino’s parents? Her mom is worse than her dad.” Shika seems a little worried.

The members of, what is left, ‘Team 7’ seems to be hurt the worst. Sasuke stares off into space, in shock. Naruto is angry with himself and the others. While it is Kakashi who takes it the hardest, in his hands he holds the pink braid of the beautiful cherry blossom who won his love. Yet he knew in his heart, that he had lost that love to his manly pride. Looking up, blinking through the tears.

“Tsunade-sama, I ask to be given leave for I can hunt down the girls and bring them home, where they belong.” Kakashi says in a quiet, yet strong voice.

“I am sorry; I can’t allow you to do that. Sakura and the others are on their own. I have other missions that must be done. With us being now four ninjas down, it will be harder to do them. Especially with Ten-Ten and Ino being weapon masters, and Sakura and Hinata master med-nins.” Tsunade-sama states in a tired voice. There are objections to this and Tsunade brings her ‘iron-fist’ down on the coffee table breaking it into pieces. “Don’t you five understand,” she shouts, “It’s because of you,” Pointing at each of the guys, “That those young women left. At the gentle age of 18, life can be dangerous. Even if they are ninjas, their hearts are still on the line. IT WOULD SERVE YOU ALL RIGHT IF THEY FOUND OTHERS TO CARE FOR THEM!!!” Tsunade-sama says as she storms up to Sakura’s room and takes her head band along with the other three out of the house and too the Hokage office.

While, back at Sakura’s house the boys wonder what to tell the parents of the three missing girls. Kakashi seems listless. Neji goes off to tell his uncle what has happened, and then off to Ten-Ten’s home. Shika does the same for Ino. While Sasuke, Naruto and Kakashi stay in the house. Team 7, or Team Kakashi as they are now called, wonder around the house and look at the things they know mean so much to their friend. It is Kakashi who finally speaks up.

“We should stay here. Our places are not worth much now. There is enough room. I am sure Tsunade-sama would prefer that this house is taken care of too. It’s up to you two if you want to join in on this stupid idea.” Kakashi looks from one member to the other. Naruto nods in agreement.

“It’s our fault that Sakura left. It’s our own honor to do what we should have done long ago. We may have protected Sakura physically. However, emotionally we failed.” Naruto says quietly.

Sasuke stands. “I will be closing the Uchiha compound until Sakura and the girls are safely back home. It was my fault for calling them weak…I remember little from last night, however what I do recall was a table breaking and stinging words. Though, I don’t recall the words, they barely got through the Sake we were drinking.”

Kakashi thinks back and groans holding his head. “A hang-over was not the way I wanted to start today. Or any trouble such as this.” The team splits only to return a few hours later to take possession of the home. Tsunade had approved the move and sighed.

“At least you three will help Sakura out while she is off training.”
