"There's something I want to ask you-"

And she faints.

Sasuke stares at Sakura for a few seconds before releasing a soft sigh.

"Looks like I've troubled you again."

He stays like that, before slowly picking her up and gently lays her on the ground.

He would've transported her into somewhere safe if he can, but time is ticking and he needs to help the others, now.

But just once more, he looks at his genin wife, specifically her callused hands. In this, Sasuke smiles.

"Your hands are truly, and has always been my pride."

He kneels down and pokes her forehead.

"I'm sorry for everything I've done."

A pause.

"Thank you, for never giving up on me."

He stands up and walks away.
