The spring was almost over and summer was just around the corner. With the memory of spring, the great wedding of Naruto and Hinata became a happy event of Sakura's past life. And now she was again indulged in her busy life at the hospital. That was until she realized, one day, that she'd been feeling strange lately. Most of the time, she just felt like resting even though she wasn't feeling exhausted and when she arrived home she became very sick.

At night her body ached all over. Initially, she thought that it may be because of how much she strained herself at the hospital. But that was soon forgotten when the first time she threw up and it was at the hospital nonetheless. 'At least she was able to reach the restroom on time' she had thought. And at that moment something clicked in her exhausted brain.

As soon as she confirmed that she was stable again and didn't feel like vomiting anymore, she rushed towards one of the hospital room where some instruments for checking sick villagers were stored. Those instruments were from the new stock. Even though, she felt guilty of using the new ones but she had no other choice, considering that the other rooms where she could get what she was searching for, there would be doctors whom would want to know about everything that was going on with her personal life. And she would be much more uncomfortable than she already was in her current situation.

Soon, she found what she was looking for, a pregnancy tester. Even though, it was so much absurd to think that she would be pregnant considering that she had not even kissed anyone yet. She wasn't even intimate with anyone, just as she thought that the day when Sasuke was with her alone by the river. Although, he had not even dared to touch her but his words and presence were enough to make her blush madly.

Now she had found the tester. And she found out the condition she was going through. She wasn't wrong when she thought, that she should do that.

The first person she told was Shizune because she was the nearest person to reach whom she could put her trust into. Shizune was so shocked that she had thrown up the water she was drinking while standing beside the water cooler. Sakura didn't mind her reaction because she knew herself that it was the humblest reaction Shizune could give her. She had asked for some advice from the older medic nin because she didn't know what she should do. But Shizune was unable to give much of a better advice. In the end, Sakura knew that she had to do something on her own.

She thought about telling her parents but as the thought came, it seemed not such of a good idea. First her parents would be panicked as hell and then they won't have any better idea to give her if her nearest peer couldn't. She considered Ino, to which she was shocked herself because telling Ino means breaking out a ruckus in the entire leaf village. Maybe other villages as well, as she thought about Temari staying in leaf village for a while for God knows what reason.

In the end she decided that she had to leave the leaf village and search for the one person who had the most probability of being the father of the baby she was carrying. She was sure that if she told him, he'll be able to figure out what should be done with the situation. So she set out on the journey to track Sasuke after telling the 6th hokage her fake reason to visit the rain village for extraction of some herbs that only grew under a rainy climate. He was too lenient to ask about much detail considering the peace they had recently attained after the defection of Kaguya.

And it was the first step that led Sakura to a place that soon changed her life and beliefs.
