Hello, I'm trying to keep up my inspiration to keep this current story going. I'd like to give a special thanks to TDI-Ryro-Eclares. You've been such a huge help to me for this chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto :/
Sakura felt the seal on her wrist sizzle as it dissolved letting her know her goal was complete. She was immensely suprised by how easy the task had been. In theory the battle should of dragged on longer.
Then she felt the sensation of her body hitting something soft similar to a matteress. Though she felt her surrondings slip from her as she drifted to the world she wished never to see again.
She saw Azumi and was confused, she won why was she back. Azumi ghosted near her a laid a hand on Sakura's bruised face.
"Dear child why did you use those arrows? Did I not direct they were for emergency purposes only?"
Sakura swallowed before building up the courage to fire back," He was going to drag others in to the fight and I had no chakra left!"
Sakura was shaking because she knew whatever Azumi said next was going to awful.
"By using one of the arrows you've sacrificed one of your senses!" Azumi looked truly regretful for the news she just delivered.
"Which one?" Sakura was nervous. Loosing any of them could be particularly bad and ruin her shinobi career.
"You'll discover that when you wake".
Before Sakura could retort she felt herself sailing back into reality. She cringed as she heard Pein and Itachi whispering about her state. She felt the burning sensation of chakra loss rip through her veins.
She sat up and screamed from the pain and opened her eyes only to see blackness with two light blue outlines. Both the pain a realization struck Sakura at once. The chakra loss was nothing to the loss of her sight.
Immeadiately she felt both her hands being held and comforting words were being given. She knew she would have to tell them soon. They'd probably realize it once she attempted to walk.
She noticed one on the blue lights dim before it faded completely. It made sense now. The blue outlines were chakra. So at least she could rely on that.
"Sakura, I'm sorry" Itachi whispered.
Sakura held back a sob because it was hard to imagine that'd she never see him again. She had been so reckless in battle.
"Don't be. I should be the sorry one. I'm so so sorry." and her crying hadn't ceased from there.
She felt Itachi rubbing circles on her back trying to pacify her but the loss of sight was killing her. She looked up to see the other blue outline enter the room.
She felt something like a scroll being thrust into her hands. She was scared now because she knew she wouldn't be able to read it.
"What is this?"
She heard Pein's gruff voice, "Its a treaty with leaf, you are our ambassador."
Sakura swallowed. That was wonderful they created a treaty but she wouldn't be able to be the ambassador. "I can't be the ambassador."
Itachi and Pein shared strange looks. They felt that the pinkette would of been estatic to keep both her lives together.
"Why not?" Pein questioned. He was geuinely surprised she wasn't jumping for joy.
"I can't see them" she answered.
"We made the treaty so you can see them silly!" Pein clearly wasn't getting what she was really saying.
"No, I mean I can't see them. I'm blind" Sakura said a bit more firmly.
She heard to sharp intakes of breath and knew that her news had stunned the duo. She was waiting for Pein to take back his offer.
"Well, I guess Itachi is just going to have to be your personal escort everywhere." Pein summed up. He figured after that proclamation it'd be difficult to seperate the silent man from her side ever again.
Everyone seemed satisfied with that solution and allowed Sakura to rest some more.
-(Time Skip)
(About two weeks later)
Sakura felt Itachi tug her hand and lead her down a few hallways. Ever since she told them she was blind he hadn't left her side. She realized she could still be a medical ninja as long as Itachi was with her to guide her.
The first few days had been rough and emotionally taxing on the couple but they soon came into a rythm and it was working.
Sakura didn't know where Itachi was leading her but she could smell damp grass and could hear water running in the distance. She assumed he brought her to one of the meditation gardens her brother had built.
"What are we doing here Itachi?" Sakura asked as curiosity overwhelmed her.
"Well, I know we haven't been a perfect couple but I know I love you", Sakura could hear Itachi fumbling with something, " and I think that we should get married."
It took a full minute for what Itachi said to sink in and for Sakura to realize what he meant, "Of course, yes! yes! yes!"
Sakura felt herself being lifted off the ground as Itachi swung her around. Sakura smiled and laughed at the action.
Sakura knew that whatever followed she had Itachi and that was enough for her.
"You know we have to tell Pein" Sakura giggled only imagining Itachi's grimace.
"Don't worry about it. I had to ask permission" Itachi gave his infamous smirk. Knowing the smugness would radiate off of it and that Sakura would be able to tell.
Sakura giggling fit stop abrubtly and she gave the biggest smile she could muster. She felt the ring finally being slipped onto her finger.
She was confused because she could see it clearer than anything else.
"What is this ring made out of Itachi?" Sakura desperately wanted to know. She knew she wasn't getting her sight back so it had to be something rare.
"Its made out of pure chakra. It supposedly never fades and you said you could still see chakra"
At that moment she didn't care if the whole nation walked in. Sakura threw her arms around Itachi and kissed him.
Both were startled when Pein began coughing to interupt the two love birds.
"You are needed to bring a scroll to the Hokage and I guess you could tell them your news" Pein said as he gave a knowing smile.
"Hn, Sakura is telling the idiots" Itachi said in monotone.
Sakura could only shake her head in disbelief. She was going to tell her ex-teammates about her wedding. This was just the begining of a new chapter of her life and she couldn't tell if she was too thrilled. Oh, screw it she was thrilled. She just knew it'd take awhile for the news to process.
She just knew she was ready to being a new chapter as a reborn cherry blossom.
I believe this is where I'm ending it guys, it was a swell run :D I hope you likeee 3 And please review.
