โ Lee-san is really something. I thought he was super weird when we first met, but then he swooped in and saved the day like a proud shinobi would! I owe him a lot for saving me that day in the Forest of Death. If it weren't for him, then I probably wouldn't have felt the final push I needed to start fighting back when I did, so I think people should really respect him more. It isn't every day you meet someone like him who's so dedicated to taijutsu. He's a very hard worker! โ
The squirrel really did surprise Sasuke, no matter how common it is for a squirrel to be hiding in a bush. They were looking for a cat, after all. Sasuke huffs a little, getting over his wounded pride, as he watches Sakura hunch down to look under the bush in his place.
Suddenly, there's a louder rustling noise, and out springs the cat! Sasuke is even more surprised as it tackles Sakura, knocking her over and, for a moment, Sasuke doesn't know what to do. If he tackles the cat, he's also jumping on Sakura, which would hurt her. It gives the cat a free second to leap away, and Sasuke scrambles to his feet.
He doesn't need to be told twice, as he saw Sakura didn't hit her head, so she's likely fine. He nods at her in agreement, and speeds off after the cat.
Luckily, Sasuke's ninja speed is no match for a cat. However, Sasuke is no match for dodging underneath things, because he doesn't fit into the small spaces a cat does. But.... he manages to dive at the cat as it rushes toward an overhang of the building of the tea shop, grabbing the cat around the body and holding it there.
It's understandably freaked out, hissing and struggling and scratching and biting.
"Sakura, do you know where the carrier went?" Sasuke asks as she approaches, wincing slightly.
As Sasuke immediately runs off after the cat, Sakura canโt help but feel sliiiiightly disappointed that he did not at least ask if sheโs okay. Sure, she is definitely okay, and sure, theyโre chasing a cat, and sure, itโs running off at the speed of light, but she sort of wanted Sasuke-kun to express concern for her! Call it the whimsy desires of a love-stricken maiden โฆ
Anyway, no crying over spilled milk. She quickly scrambles up, dusts herself off, and follows their trail. Fortunately, Sasuke-kun catches the cat not too far ahead, so she beams brightly and catches up with no problems. The cat looks so moody, though, with all the hissing and scratching and even biting, so she warily eyes it.
โ I think Naruto has it. He was so gung-ho about wanting to find the cat first, remember? โ Naruto snatched that cat carrier from Kakashi so fast that it happened in such a blur; Sakura doesnโt blame him if he doesnโt recall it. โ But donโt worry! I have a secret weapon! โ
Annnnnd she will now reach into her waist pouch to take out a toy mouse! Itโs a tiny little thing, worn-out with colorful plaid patterns sewn all over, but nevertheless, she holds it up to the cat. It is startled by her before curiously regarding the toy, then it sniffs it before trying to bat the mouse with its paws. The catโs a lot calmer now, meowing occasionally as it tries to play.
Sakura grins, feeling victorious. โ Since we were going to deal with a cat today, Iโve learned to keep a catโs toy on me just in case. The last time we had to find a cat, Narutoโs face was super scratched-up, so itโs win-win this way, yโknow? โ

โ Naruto is obviously the biggest knucklehead the world's ever seen, but y'know, that's why he's so special. He stands out like that. I don't think that's a bad thing, though. It just means he might be the bravest person out there! Gotta commend him for that. He's also a part of Team 7 too, so it's my sworn duty to be there and smack some sense into him if he's ever going overboard. He can take care of himself, but I'm not going to tolerate it if anyone goes to hurt him, alright? โ

โ Sasuke-kun ... is truly an important person in my life. We make up Team 7, y'know? I know he's been through so much, but that's why I want to be there by his side. I don't want him to feel alone or that he has no one left to support him. He has me, Naruto, and Kakashi-sensei, if no one else. I think other people misunderstand him, and that's why I'll be there to tell them otherwise. He's also a fast learner, constantly working hard now. I sometimes worry he's working even harder than me! โ

โ Hinata-chan is someone you'd want to have with you all the time because she's so sweet and caring! People say she's so shy and meek, but there's a saying of 'float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.' I think that really describes her: someone who is gentle, but not one to be taken for granted. She has kindness in spades, which is one of her greatest strengths. She's truly beauty and grace! Anyone who messes with her has to go through me and my fists first, got it? โ The last two words have been said with a clear warning, radiating fierce protectiveness.

โ What can I say about Neji-san that hasn't been already said? Let's see ... He is certainly one of the best shinobi we have in this village, and I think he's come a long way if I remember what he used to be like. There's a lot of grace in the way he does things, he's always so straight to the point, and he's certainly honed his skills a lot since I've last seen him fight, which makes him reliable and someone worthy of his rank. โ Now she's muttering, โ I'm kinda jealous of his hair, but you know what, I could never pull it off as well as he does anywayโโ โ

โ I might not know Shino-san too well yet, but I think he's a great friend to have around. He can be kinda quiet and awkward, but he's considerate and reliable! Sure, he keeps his face covered, but it gives him a cool, mysterious vibe! I feel bad I misunderstood him when we were younger ... It's nice to talk with someone who actually has a brain. โ
hinata gasps mid sipโthis is news to her !
" eh?? really?? "
her hand immediately raises to her lips, as if to keep the well-known open secret to herself. leave to sakura to loop her in on all the latest gossip circulating around the village ! " ah, now that you mention it .. i have seen temari-san and shikamaru-kun together recently. they've .. been rather close since the chunin exams, right? "
to see the shadow-nin, of all people, show a hint of embarrassment like that in front of the rather intimidating kunoichi would make anyone who sees them assume they're together. slightly amused by the ongoing bet her friends have placed on the two, hinata taps a finger lightly at her chin, humming in thought as to whether she should join in their quiet mischief.
" mm .. alright .. i'll say .. they're not dating yet, but they do like each other. " she laughs, taking another sip of her hot chocolate. a romantic at heart, she only hopes for the best outcome for the two. after all, everyone deserves to find that special someone.
when sakura mentions having also seen her &hanabi around the village, the hyuuga's attention perks up. her relaxed expression softens considerably, offering a nod in acknowledgement. " yes .. we were having some one-on-one time together. i've been trying to spend more time with her and make sure she is doing alright. " the job of the eldest sibling, especially during such a sensitive time in hanabi's development falls heavy on the hyuuga. her precocious sister has quite an optimistic sense of self. child-like, really. perhaps it is hinata, in turn, that needs her spirited energy to bounce off of from time to time.
" overall, she's doing well. she has her moments, of course .. " fingers idly tap along the ceramic as she eyes the last bits of floating marshmallows in the pool of chocolate. " i do too, though i don't want to worry her too much. i need .. to be able to be strong for her. this sort of feeling is .. hard to explain. some days, i still find myself unable to get out of bed. but, other days, i try to do small things to keep myself going. "
no longer holding herself hostage in her quarters in her deep depression, finding comfort in her hobbies, her friends & laughing with hanabi have been a necessary sort of medicine for hinata. " if anything .. i'm reminded of how things can quickly change. i .. want to keep making memories with those around me and enjoy the time we have togetherโ .. " soft, pearl-like eyes lift to meet the medic's jade-colored gaze, " kind of like what we're doing now. "
seeing that hinataโs attention has been successfully captured, she simpers again and nods eagerly in response. โ they definitely have! i thought nothing of it at first since they work together for preparing the chลซnin exams, but then i saw them hanging out when they werenโt working โฆ ino saw them too. โ grrr, if only either of them got the juicy details of when those two first started getting closer!! sakura needs those details!! needs them!!
โ oho, the same bet as ino-pig, i see. Iโll tell her later about it. โ she is not deterred by the outnumbering, only wearing a teasing smile and enjoying the lighthearted atmosphere. inoโs bet is probably a lot more accurate, considering that she and shikamaru grew up together, but sakura cannot help placing down a different and daring bet / she is always advocating for love. perhaps half of the reason is to avoid thinking about her own love life woes, but the other half comes from yearning to see love. itโs so obvious that shikamaru and temari like each other, so they should just date already and be openly happy.
there is nothing more happier than being with the person you love. sakura โฆ sakura knows this: she knows this feeling too well. that's why she can support everyoneโs crusade of love.
well, she thinks, thatโs also why iโm still waiting. that isnโt what they should be talking about though, so sakura listens and sips hot chocolate occasionally, then she replies firstly, โ iโm glad youโre getting along. โ hinataโs little sister โฆ sakura doesnโt know her personally, but she at least knows hinata had a strained relationship with hanabi years agoโโand not only that, but hinata apparently still feels the pressure of not being enough. this is another feeling that sakura understands so much: to stop being a burden, to hold your own weight, to be strong not for yourself but for others.
โ i want more of that too, โ sakura continues, gently. her smile is softer now, caked in nostalgia. โ i never got to tell you, but iโve always respected you back then. you had so much to carry all by yourself, but you never once stopped even when it seemed too hard. โ no matter how much others were shaming you for being weak. โ i think you came a really long way. i think your sister knows that too, so thatโs why i think she also wants to spend more time with you. i donโt have any siblings, but i guess ino is the closest i have to a sister. if we managed to mend things between us, then i know you and your sister can too. โ
a pause, then a sheepish smile. how pretentious of her to say that when she doesnโt even have siblings. โ my point is that i think itโs enough: youโre doing enough, and youโre enough. i donโt think you have to do more because, well, youโre already super hardworking, hinata-chan. on days when you find it hard to get out of bed, i think thatโs okay too. we all have those days. i do too. tomorrowโs another day; maybe itโll be better, yโknow? if iโm feeling down, then iโll go find ino to bother, or iโll go eat lunch with naruto, or iโll just do small things too, like you. as long as we do something, then thatโs something we can be proud of. โ
the gaze is returned with earnest support, of mutual understanding, and now she jokingly adds, โ and iโm proud that i managed to somehow plow through all of this snow for us to take shelter here! sorry itโs a bit messy. i havenโt really had the chance to clean up my books because of work. โ how embarrassing for hinata to see her home so disheveled โฆ at least there are no clothes randomly lying around, just a bunch of medical books and scrolls.

He doesnโt take the cookie โฆ She is sulking. How can he just reject perfectly good butter cookies? โ If you did, then Iโm telling Ino. She knows your family, so who knows if sheโll let it slip to your parents โฆ โ Itโs a threat. โ Why were you named โShikamaruโ anyway if youโre not even going to play along for deer jokes? Where's your sense of humor? โ
rereading part one of the manga, and i want to make it a personal headcanon for me that s.akura would be very empathetic to those with self-esteem issues because she went through the same thing. she is a character full of love, so it makes me sad to see people still calling her a 'selfish bitch' ๐
( long meta underneath )
her whole childhood, she was bullied ruthlessly for having a big forehead, hence her meekness as a little kid. it wasn't until i.no came along that she began feeling just slightly more confident, but ultimately she has fallen into a vicious cycle of self-deprecating herself:
it's because of i.no's friendship that she began to like herself more, thus inspiring her wishing to stand as equals, not in i.no's shadow anymore. i'd like to add my own two cents that the crush on s.asuke is actually very relevant towards s.akura's personal character development in both a) using love as a goal to motivate herself in trying to make her 'unattractive' trait, her forehead, into something that would appeal to someone else, and b) using it as a way of kickstarting her true motive of breaking away from i.no's shadow. disclaimer that s.asusaku is indeed my most favorite saku ship; they are too important to me for many reasons, but out of respect towards those who do not like this ship, i shall keep ship ramblings to a minimum on my blog.
anyway i digressed a bit, but i would like to reiterate point a of using love as a goal to motivate herself / s.akura is still shameful of her forehead, fearing that s.asuke will not like that trait of hers:
she straight-up admits that she's self-conscious of it / one argument that saku haters tend to say is that she's so 'stupid' or such a 'selfish bitch always thinking about s.asuke and does nothing but cry' BLAH, BLAH, BLAH ... she cries because she has her own fears and doubts that scare her. she cries because she's human. they completely missed the memo that kishi created s.akura as a character who is supposed to act human because she is human. in his design notes for her, he literally says that he is fond of her character because of her humanity:
the core of s.akura's character, imo, is the theme of love: love for s.asuke that lasts for years, filled with dedication and patience despite all the hurt and obstacles she went through, but the love i'm mainly referring to is specifically self-love; self-appreciation. it's not just about her forehead. it's not just about the crush on s.asuke. it's about the inferiority complex she has with i.no, n.aruto, and s.asuke. it's about how she can't seem to love and appreciate herself. through all of part one, she's constantly comparing herself with everyone and seems to bring herself down often. she is aware of her own limitations and weaknesses. she knows. even k.akashi knew before she was even aware of it, as early as the chunin exams arc:
wanting to be mentally strong like i.no, n.aruto, and s.asuke ( + lee ) ...
but s.akura hiden reveals that she became the most popular and well-loved medic in the entire village. everyone adores her by the time of her novel, no matter if she has a big forehead or not. they love her because she is compassionate and kind. she is someone from a completely normal civilian family who had to earn everything. she didn't have any special jutsu or kekkei genkai like her teammates. you don't need all of that to be genuinely kind.
if i had to sum up the entirety of part one towards s.akura's personal character growth, it'd be the concept of self-love like what i had said before. her insecurities over her forehead + rivalry with i.no were settled during the chunin exams, and part two covers the other half of it, which is her self-esteem over her own skillsโโwhat she's capable ofโโgreatly inspired by her love for s.asuke. this panel from the manga seems to be the point when she ultimately makes the decision to become a medic nin, a desire stemmed from her wanting to be of help to her loved ones and out of love for her teammates, not just s.asuke:
everything about s.akura has to do with love. i personally think the clinic she opens with i.no in the s.akura hiden novels is also a place where she has plenty of patients who have/had problems like her, which again, reiterates my point that she is beloved by the entire village at that point of the timeline because she's a very loving person full of love. no matter if you ship s.asusaku or not, it is very hard to deny that s.asuke is an extremely pivotal aspect of s.akura's character growth; a lot of her love stems from loving him. no matter how far he fell into his personal darkness, she still loves him. i do not mean in a romantic light, but love in general. her love for him is very intertwined into her own desire to grow stronger and improve herself, and bringing him back to konoha was the catalyst for thatโโbecause it stemmed from a promise with n.aruto, but she doesn't want to keep burdening n.aruto, so she's going to train herself to bring back s.asuke together out of love for team 7. again, it doesn't matter if you interpret it as romantic or not, team 7 is a very important thing in s.akura's life, so that's why she's trying so hard to piece them back together in part two.
she loves team 7, she loves her friends, she loves konoha, she loves all of her patients, and even though their relationship is strained, i think s.akura still loves her parents. that's why she is able to cry, because she loves so much.
she cries because she feels that she is always burdening n.aruto with everything due to her own inability to do what he can do. she is always frustrated with herself despite all of the training she's been doing because even though she's literally saved the life of g.aara's brother, she still views herself as a burden to others because she still cannot bring back the one person who completes team 7 and cannot seem to do more for n.aruto as it is:
and when it comes to s.asuke, that's where the strength of her love shines. she could've loved someone else the way she loves him, but she still picked him even though he has fallen so deep into darkness. i know this is steered towards romantic love within the context of this scene, but it does not erase the fact that she loves deeply:
kishi was right about her character having lots of humanity because the sheer willpower to patiently love someone so much for so long even though everyone else knows she could've picked someone else better is truly remarkable. she is someone who loves because she loves them. i'm not saying that's mentally healthy for her ๐, but it does show how tenacious she can be when it comes to love and doing things out of love for love.
she is a character created to love herself and to love others, and that is truly very human of her. to still call s.akura a 'useless and selfish bitch' even after reading the entire manga kinda shows how people didn't focus on her close enough is2g ( also, everyone is kinda selfish when it comes to love, so i think it's unfair to solely accuse s.akura of it, but w/e i guess. she's just 'useless' and 'whiny' like that ๐ซฉ )
"Sakura. I have an offer for you. A free offer, one that Naruto has refused. Would you be interested in seeing my chiselled chest that I've worked hard on achieving?"
