Sakura woke up next morning, freshned up, had a large breakfast then went on a morning walk. She summoned her partner wolf to tag along. It was quiet & calming in the morning. People were just starting to wake up. Makoto was also enjoying himself yipping happily.

While walking she taught about how to deal with Orochimaru and his side kick Kabuto. She realized that Orochimaru can wait she has to deal with kabuto first, & then may be she will go and find kimimaru, Jugo, & karin uzumaki.

With a plan in mind she went to find Kabuto in the hospital. Concealing her chakra, she observed Kabuto & found out that he has already contacted Orochimaru once, that means he is still working for Sasori & will be easy to deal with. Disappearing from her hidden location. She appeared small distance away from hospital, where Makoto was waiting for her.

She put her plan into action. She took of her headband and tied it around Makoto's neck, she told Makoto to drag the silver haired med-nin to her position. As he went, she lowered her chakra level & achieved the state of chakra exhaustion then she proceeded to faint. Before fainting she applied a strong henge changing her appearance to that of a 4-year old girl with brown hair and brown eyes.

On the other side, Makoto came running to hospital entrance where he found the med-nin he was looking for. He ran to him and bumbed his head on his leg. Kabuto suprised looked down to see wolf cub he immediately took out his kunai then noticed the headband on the cub & lowered his kunai. He then saw that the cub was telling him to follow. Curious he decided to follow the cub & saw him leading a few feet away from hospital to an empty ground. When he saw the cub stop, he followed the cub's gaze and saw a child. Hurrying towards the child he immediately diagnosed her has a case of chakra exhaustion. He took her bridal style and ran to the hospital, the cub forgotten.

On reaching the hospital he immediately put her in an empty room, and began filling the form and finding recovery pills.

While he was busy in his tasks, Sakura concentrated the killing chakra in her index finger tip & making it unnoticable. Sakura then groaned & started waking up, hearing the noise Kabuto rushed towards her. Pretending to be unaware of her location she asked Kabuto where she was? Kabuto smiled gently answering her question and handing her recovery pill and water. While giving her the pill there hands touched & she passed the poisonous chakra into his system without him noticing. The effect will occur within 3-4 hours and results will reveal natural death.

Then her solid clone appeared, claiming to be her mother, she was released. Few distance from the hospital the clone disappeared in a poof and she teleported to her room where she dropped her henge and snuggled with Makoto. While thinking of her morning activities, she decided to relax in the afternoon and then have a sleepover in the evening.

After a small nap, she dressed up and went to Flower shop. On entering, the small bell rang indicating a customer. Ino raised her head & saw Sakura happy she asked about the latest gossip that brought her here. To which Sakura told her about the sleepover, Ino squealed and accepted, after which Sakura left.

Ino still remembered how she met and they became friends.

Ino 5-year old was in Shikamaru's house along with Chouji. There parents were having a get together. While the elders talked Ino got bored and went outside dragging along the other two. They ended up in a training ground with a lake. Letting go of the two, she dipped her hand in the water, but due to strong current of the lake she was dragged into the water. Hearing her scream, Shikamaru and Chouji turned around to see Ino starting to drown in the water. Since they were a long distance from home Shikamaru went to get help, while Chouji thought about helping her, later on realising that there is nothing he can do, on verge of panic. He heard a swoosh sound from above, looking he saw a girl no older than him running on the tree and catching Ino by her arm & pulling her upwards. She then came to the ground, laying Ino. Ino was relieved along with Chouji. They were introduced & found her name Sakura.

Few days after the incident, all three went together to the park and found Sakura there. They introduced Shikamaru too her, & were suprised to find they knew each other. Soon they became friends and played together.

Sakura went to Tenten's weapon shop to invite her. She entered the shop & invited her to sleepover. Tenten accepted and Sakura left while Sakura was reminiscing how they met.

Tenten was in academy practicing on her aim, while the other students were resting. Only Lee & Neji were practicing along with her. They heard clapping behind them and saw pink haired girl clapping, noticing she had attention of all three she stopped.

Introduction were made, Neji rudely ignored her . Mad she challenged him to aim practice, Neji arrogantly took out 7 kunai and hit all 7 targets bullseye, Sakura took out a single senbon hitting all the targets. This suprised the 3 but also humbled Neji.

She remembered after few meetings, she had broken Neji's fate obsession and healed Lee enough to use low ranked jutsu. She remembered Lee saying he was eternally greatful.

Soon Sakura reached the Hyuga complex. On entering she asked Hinata to come to the sleepover. Hinata got permission from her father and accepted. Soon Sakura left. Hinata started having a flashback of how Sakura changed her life.

Hinata was crying while sitting under a tree, she was approached by Sakura & immediately found comfort in the other girl. Sakura then took Hinata to a small training ground and they trained together with Sakura increasing her skill & confidence and breaking her stuttering habit. Hiashi on noticing the change allowed Hinata a little more freedom, while Hanabi looked up to her.

In the evening all the girls ended up in Sakura's house & changed into their pajamas. They ended up sharing latest gossip, playing truth and dare, doing each others makeup, hair & nails, making desserts and enjoying. Sakura found herself enjoying, she introduced Makoto to the girls & was rewarded with squealing and hugging. Makoto was enjoying the attention. The went to the swimming pool and enjoyed. Later while going to sleep Sakura found herself burden-free.
