Thread: After The War [A Naruto RP (Yuna & Yajirobe's 1x1)]

Sakura Haruno RP PicsHarunoSakurazps692621c6.jpg RP PicsHarunoSakurazps692621c6.jpg Her head quickly glanced up from the files, though not before eyes tried to scan the desk for an appointment book of sorts. Had she forgotten that someone was to be here today? Sakura assumed the answer to be no and let out a low Damn ... as she failed to find the book she had been seeking. Green orbs gazed up to find Shikamaru, the new leader of the Nara clan. Her eyes couldn't help but subconsciously soften he had endured quite a bit himself -- not just from the war, but even before with the loss of his sensei, Asuma. And then he had to fight him again in an undead state no thanks to the Edo Tensei and if that hadn't been bad enough, his father sacrificed his own life to ensure the war ended. Not just his, but all of Team Asuma's. The gesture was honorable but still sad all the same when all was said and done. Even in the normally stoic shinobi's eyes, Sakura could see and almost feel the very slightest hints of sorrow. Then again, few people had truly recovered from all the War had taken from them. Moreover, it hadn't been only her which lost Naruto all of Konoha had. Hinata was taking the loss perhaps even worse than Shikamaru, and he had been one of Naruto's first friends from back during their Academy days. Still, there were some times she couldn't help but feel a bit selfish and forgot that others within Konohagakure had lost not just Naruto, but even Sasuke. Both her and Ino used to fight so much over the Uchiha ... and now, he was gone. She knew, as did everyone else in Konoha, that she was perhaps one of the last people who deserved to sit in the chair she was in. But Tsunade had managed to insist that she, as opposed to anyone else, take over. She had entrusted her with this responsibility ... and like hell if Sakura would easily let her own mentor down. All the same, this wasn't the place to think back on the past nor the time. She managed a weary smile as she looked up to the Nara then down to the desk. I'm ... not yet on the mission or more current files, unfortunately. I'm ... still going through and organizing all the death certificates. Once the words left Sakura's lips, she supposed she could now comprehend one reason her mood hadn't been the best as of late probably. She had already ensured to get both Naruto and Sasuke's done they had been some of the very first ones. But there had been so many other names her green orbs had to gaze upon ... and to know that she hadn't been able to save any - assuming they hadn't been used via the Edo Tensei - had made her heart sink. She should have been able to do more .... shouldn't she? After all, she'd been trained by one of the best living medical ninjas. Why had she failed so many? Let so many down? For a few brief but noticable moments, her fists trembled. This time, though, she managed to calm herself and steady her hands. Exhaling deeply, she looked back up to Shikamaru. But if you want to see if you can just find the missions yourself ... go for it. It'll help clear space for me, if nothing else. Good luck in advance if you do though. I think I've been here the past ... three days now just trying to get all of these sorted out. I feel like .... like I'm getting nowhere. A small chuckle managed to leave and then a sigh did as she glanced back down to the files. Really Naruto? You really wanted this? It seems so ... annoying, at least this part of the job does ... As her mind went to her former classmate and friend, she felt her body tense as it shook once again, a shiver trailing down her spine. Though she had tried to forget, Sakura had often been reminded many times of the exact moments of Naruto and Sasuke's death. She'd forgotten for a few moments, albeit long enough, that Shikamaru was inside the office with her. Tears that she'd sworn she had finally finished crying the last of several days ago slowly began to form in her eyes, so very eager and close to falling from her eyes and onto the files and desk.
