Sakura Haruno RP PicsHarunoSakurazps692621c6.jpg RP PicsHarunoSakurazps692621c6.jpg The end of the War was, for most, a blessing and miracle within itself. But for Sakura Haruno, it was a bit of a torment, really. Even though all the bloodshed was finally over, it hadn't come without dire costs. To be more exact, two of them. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha had wound up killing each other off near the very last second. No one had seen it coming, though she supposed she should have. And even to this day, she cursed herself for not having done so. She had tried -- tried her damnedest -- but the wounds had been too fatal. Sakura hadn't been able to save even one of them. And she hated herself for failing not just her former comrades and classmates, but Tsunade-sama, her mentor whom had taught her medical ninjutsu. The aftermath of the war hadn't been kind to anyone really, regardless of what side one was on. But for quite a few of the Konohagakure shinobi, they had been hit with the worst of everything it seemed, from the physical injuries to the more mental and psychological ones. Even Tsunade had, unfortunately, been included in this. And thus it led her to where she was now trying desperately to juggle both her duties as a medical kunoichi in the Konohagakure Hospital whilst aiding Shizune out with the Hokage duties. But she had noted that Shizune also had her own limits with how much she could help Sakura out. She'd suggested to Sakura a few times to ask someone else. But for so long, the pink-haired kunoichi had relied so much on Naruto and Sasuke. Now that they were gone .... she didn't know whom to turn to. At the moment, she was alone in the Hokage's office, her head resting on her hands. A low groan left as she reluctantly looked up amongst all the files, a sad and soft sigh leaving her lips. ... Shizune's probably right. But ... Her head lightly shook from side to side, still unsure whom to ask for. After a few more minutes of mulling silently over possibilities, she decided to give up on contemplating this for now. Her left hand caught her head as it rested within it, her right hand beginning to pick a file up, put it in alphabetical order, then ensure the rest were in the correct arrangement. Of course, it'd clearly been far too long since anyone had bothered to do this task accurately ... so none were. Another sigh left her lips. It would be one of those long and tiring days, it seemed.

Shikamaru knew of the loses in the last battle, the battle to protect the his friend Naruto had ended with the scarifice of his friend, which left so much unknown in the world. The alliance that was formed slowly fell apart, the villages going back to their old ways, without someone as charismatic as Naruto to push people and give them hope and help with their ideals, there was nothing to hold the alliance together. Granted so many shinobi had died, that it would be at least one generation before any of the village was ready to act on a larger level. Yet, the fact the villages were so weak caused a growth in bandit attacks, and problems that were unrelated to the ninja world. Shikamaru, had to deal with telling women the fact the ones they lost were lost, he had to tell his teacher's lover, Asuma had died, and he had to tell his mother, his father had died. He was tired of having this painful responsibility. He was now the leader of the Nara clan, and he had the responsibilities of a leader of the clan that was always the advisers to the Hokage. He hadn't acted on it recently, but he knew he would need to do so. Shikamaru found himself wondering towards the office of the Hokage, everyone knew that Tsunade was a shell of herself, that the place was ran mostly but Shizune, Sakura with the help of other top jounin shinobi. It had to be a hard situation, but even he knew it was where he had to put his mind and his work. It was his responsibility as leader of the clan to help. He thus found himself walking into the office. Sakura, I am here to help in any way I can, as a the leader of my clan, I know that I can help at least some with the issues that are going on around the village right now, Shikamaru commented softly as he looked up at his pink haired woman, whom was also his former classmate and rivals with Ino.

Strain had been on everyone of the village, Sakura was no different then any of them, she was just a woman, a young woman whom had lost the people whom she cared most about. So many people were heart broken, but she had more reason then any of them to be so, she lost more then anyone, even more then Konohamura who lost his big brother, or Hinata whom lost the love of her life or even Iruka whom has lost his surrogate son. It had to harder on her, for she lost both Naruto and Sasuke, each where were important to her. He knew in the village the sadness of Naruto was much greater then the last of the Uchiha, only a dozen or so old friend worried about the traitor, he didn't care about him, himself, despite their connection and his once attempt to return him to Konoha. The strain would have to be dealt with in some manner, maybe it was something he learned by fighting Asuma the second time. He found that the dead didn't want us to grieve to much for them, they wanted us to be happy, and find a new source of happiness. He figured that Naruto wouldn't want people to grieve over him to much, outside enough to show he had been something. He would want them to keep pushing forward with the dream he had, and to reach a better future. He nodded his head at the comment about missions, his mission wasn't one in the folders, it was easy see, it was to help this young woman out. He sat down and pulled out a group of folders, one thing great about being lazy was, you learned how to use the time you did work far better so that you could spend more time lazying around doing nothing at all. His eyes looked though the folders quickly as he knew the arrangement of where everything was, the class of mission the place and the date, as well as when it was given out. He went about putting the folders in a systematic order moving them quickly reading what he needed and the arranging it into is proper place. It was work, serious work, and at one time he would be bummed out by it, but there were to many shinobi and he had to many responsibilities to be so now. He smiled at her comment, this needed order, and it would need organization, the once the missions were out, they could figure who was left and what teams to send out where. There were still things that needed to be done, and well there was a lot actually that still needed to be done, but he figured the faster he got though it the faster he would be done and the faster he could go back to lazing around again. He knew this job was one that took a lot of work, why he told his sensei he was to lazy to do it when they last spoke. He looked over and saw Sakura crying, the stress had to be getting to the young woman. He got up and walked over and put a friendly shoulder on her own shoulder, it is okay, Sakura-chan, if you need to rest, and take a bit of time off you can, go down to the graves, I found that it helped me when Asuma-sama passed away, helped give me more focus on things he said as he somehow found himself in a hug with the pink haired shinobi, man life could be troublesome sometimes. He just would have to help however that was.

Sakura Haruno RP PicsHarunoSakurazps692621c6.jpg RP PicsHarunoSakurazps692621c6.jpg Somewhere in between the tears continuing to form and zoning out, flashbacks raced through the pink-haired kunoichi's mind. It started back before the Academy days, when her and Ino were no older than ten or so years old. Then it raced to when she found out she would be on Team Seven ... with the Uchiha. Oh how she gave Ino such a difficult time and teased her about it for so damn long. Soon, she saw the Chuunin Exams, her witnessing Naruto and Sasuke fight on the rooftop, the night Sasuke left Konoha .... and many, many more memories after that. Some were painful, others made her smile but regardless, all made the urge to cry stronger. Only when it went back to their last fight and how they both looked, how she had failed to save either of them, did the desire give in and her tears fell finally, streaming slowly down her face. She felt the flashbacks almost attempt to repeat again, stopped only by the foreign sensation of being embraced by Shikamaru. It was ... an interesting gesture from the Nara. He was usually lazy and saw women and most things related to them as 'too troublesome'. So to feel and see he would do such a thing to help her out ... she wasn't sure how to feel. Although Sakura was definitely still a bit confused, she was also very grateful all the same for the attempt to cheer her up and keep her somewhat sane. As his words finally echoed in her mind, a bit of panic couldn't help but fill her tone. .... Break?! But ... but Tsunade .... she trusted me with this. I ... She stopped, her head glancing down as a few tears fell upon Shikamaru's jacket. The logical side of her began to kick in as she thought seriously on her own retort. While it had been true that Tsunade had asked her to do this, she knew she wouldn't get anywhere like this. All depressed and barely thinking straight. She would only let Tsunade down and fail her if she allowed such emotions to keep dominating her. How she had resisted suicide was honestly beyond her. Some days ... she had no idea why or how she was still alive. Her head shook no lightly but quickly, trying to shove the temptation away as it quickly tried to enter her mind again. A low sigh left as she made eye contact with the Nara, knowing he wouldn't care if he saw her crying. ... Are you sure? I mean .... I probably should but my work ethic says I should remain and keep going .... Worse than that, she felt horrid and guilty on the mere thought of forcing him to take over what was to be her task, her obligation. It seemed wrong somehow. But he was offering .... maybe ... maybe she should accept. If not because she wanted the break, at least for her sanity.

Shikamaru could tell the young woman was at her limits for her ability to work, not only that, she had choose then hardest job to arrange the files of the people whom had died in the conflict between them and Madara. Could tell that wasn't all though that kept her here working so hard, it was more then the need to work on something connected to the ones close to her, but a need to live up to the expectations of her mentor. He remembered back when Naruto had to do the same thing in the face of Pein's attack, or himself when Asuma passed on. To continue your mentor's work was something that was hard to not do, to do something in honor of them or get revenge or many other things. Break, you need one badly, just take the day off, I am sure tomorrow you can come up here and you will be able to get a fresh start, sometimes we work ourself so hard, that harder work actually doesn't equal better results. Go, walking around the village will help, share smiles with villagers, tears too, he said as he looked at her backing up a bit as he did so, Asuma told me, that our most important job is to protect the King, apparently it was something he was told by the third hokage. It took a while, but the king is the next generation of shinobi, whom will come after us, we need to focus on them now, I think make sure they grow up strong. He gave her his normal lazy look but he was thinking on the situation as best as he could in the moment. He was calculating what needed to be done, or in this case said, Remember when Tsunade fainted, we ended up with Danzo in charge of the whole village, overwork yourself and it could always happen again. I am sure Tsunade didn't want you to be unhappy, I am sure your happiness it the thing that most concerns her, and if you want her to get better, finding a way to be happy might be a key. They had to keep things together in the village at least till the next generation would be able to take over. He had a feeling sooner or later the job would be passed down to Konohamaru, but till then they had to keep the house in order and help get it back on its feet. He motioned to the door, go for a bit a couple of hours, if nothing else, go to the park or to the graveyard relax, and don't worry about in here, I will handle it. He hoped that Sakura would take him up on it, it was so clear to tell she needed a break more then anyone one else. It would do her a great deal of good. Plus it would leave the work so that he could focus on it, and not worry about her and he would be able to get a lot of it done in that situation.

Shikamaru smiled as he saw that Sakura had exited from the building, that was a great sign, the young woman needed her rest if she was going to be able to handle the job that Tsunade had given to her. He knew that if things kept on as they were, at the current pace she would just wear herself out and the village would be able to make money cause no missions would be going out as well as the fact that it would be horrible on her as well. Something had to be done, and he came here to do that despite what he wanted to do, laze around. He picked up the folders and got himself back to work, organizing the missions one at a time quickly moving the papers into quick shorting groups and then moving them aside, it didn't take him as long as he had though, his time was actually much better then his projections had accounted for. He mission paperwork was easy to file by type and rank of mission, still he could see why Tsunade was always behind, it would take a workaholic like the third hokage to be able to handle this. How the heck was Naruto going to manage it, shikamaru paused and shock his head, somehow he figured he would end up here helping Naruto if he had survived the war, working the paperwork just as he was, like it somehow was his unsaid destiny to help out the next Hokage in need of him. Shikamaru got the missions finished and had every D ranked mission out, and he had them assigned with in a short period of time. That was the hard part giving out the missions, but he managed to do so at a much slower rate then filing the missions, luckily Choji happened to be around, and then found the dutiful Sai as well, and both worked to give out the missions to the various people they were to go too. The gennin hadn't fought in the war, having been left out of the conflict. It was much like it was when the 9 tails struck, so many higher ranking shinobi gone, but the gennin still there. That would be where he got people for the D-rank missions, he could only hope they would learn and become as good as people whom died had been. He would wait on the C rank missions and higher till he knew just excatly whom was still around and not, minus those whom lead gennin teams in the field like Ebisu. Soon he found himself somewhat content with his work. As he did curiosity got the better of the young man, there was something he always had wanted to do, but never had actually done before. Shikamaru put down the files and walked out of the building. Turning down the hallway, he left the room in much better shape then before the files that were taken by gennin carefully written down, he actually knew some of them from his brief time in the academy teaching some of them. He made his way to the roof and laid down. He had never cloud watched from here, it would be different, or a new angle of the clouds. Shikamaru laid down on the roof of the main building in all of Konoha and looked up, his eyes focusing on the sparely cloudy sky as he relaxed, and thought about his day. Sakura wasn't so bad, she seemed nice enough, and not as bad as Ino made her out to be.

Shikamaru knew that he had been found out pretty quickly actually. , as his eyes wondered the endless amounts of clouds that were above him in that moment. He knew that Sakura had returned from her time away. He heard her question and could tell by her question a few things, that the trip had been good for her, and that she had regained some of her former energy and flare of life as well. Well, everything no, that will take a heck of a lot longer then that, but, I have gotten to a good start, gennin are back out on missions, maybe we can start to create a sense of normalcy in the village again, that would be rather helpful, he replied looking up at the clouds still as he said the words, I trust your walk did some good as well, he asked already pretty much knowing the answer when he asked the question. He paused after asking the question getting the answer in reply, and taking into his thoughts, he closed his eyes and thought, for a moment, letting the calmness of the moment actually help him think a bit, saw your former teammate, the one still with us, he seems to be handling this whole situation pretty well, I guess not having had feelings for that long gives you a different perspective on things, and that guy is just different period, Shikamaru commented on Sai as he continued to look up. He actually volunteered to take on the job as a gennin sensei, man those kids are going to have their hands full, he said as he envisioned Sai leading a group of students whom were somehow to become a bit like the former root member. I figured I would wait till you were done with your work before I started to give out the higher ranked missions or till you did, I don't know how many of what rank we have above the gennin. It was impossible to place any mission above the basic become of this, he said with a slight sad tone to his voice as he made the statement. After a moment or two he returned his focus back to the clouds, as his eyes scanned them, they were so without any worry, without anything holding him down. It seemed as though they were free something he would never be. He knew that all so well now, he was starting to make his peace with the fact, that he would have to many responsibilities to be free as a cloud. He wanted though to be a cool adult like Asuma had been, and that was had been his goal for quite a while, granted he made that declaration with Naruto whom wanted to be a cool adult like Jiraya as well, given their mentors died at about the same time. It was odd, but he knew if he would of lived, Naruto would of managed to pull that off.

Shikamaru listened to what Sakura had done, it sounded like she needed to do what she needed to do. He knew that her and Ino were once so close, and that things broke apart for a long while, but he also knew the friendship grew back overtime, he knew Ino quite well, most likely whom he had heard the most about Sakura from. From the jealousy of her and Sasuke to her happiness of becoming a chunnin as well. He knew that the two of them would need each other, and he was glad they had such a friendship. He nodded at her comment about Sai, the shinobi was so different, and most likely had never been on a team as the rest had when he was a gennin, yet, he had faith in the odd shinobi, He will be fine, he is a different type, but there is a great intelligence about him, he will figure it out and he will most likely do some good things, I feel sorry more for the kids, not sure how they will take any penis references, he said with a laugh, remembering stories about how he was so able to get under Naruto's skin with those jokes. My mom is doing well enough, she is a tough woman, you can see the sadness in her eyes sometimes, she misses him a great deal, but she had done well, considering. That being said, she focuses her attention on me now cause of it, that isn't so much a pleasant thing either, you don't want to know how many time I have been asked if I have move on Ino or Shiho, they both know and love her, and help. I am pretty certain, she is going to be one of those mother whom wants grandkids before long, as troublesome as it is, then it just might get a bit more troublesome, he said with a soft sigh as he looked up at the clouds. She meant well, she cared, but she was just so..her. Kurenai comes over and spends time with her too sometimes, her and Hinata as well, that brings hope, I think the little one helps bring smiles to those around and a bit of happiness in the lives of the people whom see him, Shikamaru comment, of course that will only in time lead the the problem I just said growing most likely, he said as he sighed for a moment as he thought about something different. the missions will be fine, the gennin need the training, and sadly we have to have the income or we will be in serious trouble.

Shikamaru laid there as he listened to Sakura's comments about it being natural for someone to want to have thoughs and feelings like his mother. He knew she was right, it was most logical, and it made a great deal of sense, but he somewhat was stuck in the mindset of it just being a bit troublesome to deal with when such things were pushed on you. Still, he of course loved his mother deeply, and knew that she cared for him and wanted the best for him, and would want him to end up with the best person for him, more then just end up with some random woman to have grandkids with. He nodded at her comment, Yes, we still have that alliance, it is stronger or as strong as ever, it is one of the good things that came form the war, Gaara wants to honor the memory of Naruto, and wants to keep our friendship and alliance as close as possible, especially considering the state of the world. I think it is one thing that might help us a great deal, we both lost a lot in the war, though I would figure we had more to lose then them. Temari told me this the last time she was in town, to visit, she seemed sure of the alliance, and that was enough to convince me as well, he said as he looked over at Sakura for a moment pausing. I think seeing his father actually helped Gaara a lot, but who knows for sure. He pulled himself up slowly, as much as he liked laying there, he knew he couldn't do so every moment of the day, it wouldn't be such a good thing, and now he had things to do. To be a cool adult like Asuma he had to get things done, no matter how troublesome they happened to be. Kurenai has a little boy, adorable named after his father, he said to Sakura as he brushed himself off and reached down towards her and offered her a hand to help her up from the ground with. I have to be going, thinking of mothers, mine wanted to make a meal for me, and well, I don't really have a choose if I want to show up or not. I will hear it for ever if I don't and it will be really..troublesome, he said as he looked at Sakura, Now, the day is about over, I suggest you find something to go eat too, I am sure there are plenty of young men whom would offer you a free meal still, even with Lee of the market, he said with a smile as he looked at the pink haired shinobi, whom had never lacked for admirers, Naruto, Lee, and others always interested in Tsunade's student.
