"What are you talking about?" Sasuke asked.

"It's a long story, would you like to hear?" Sakura questioned.

"I guess...."

"When I was little, my father used to take me to trek, deep in the woods, he was friends with Mr. Yamanaka, and they had this huge field only filled with flowers, it was just so heavenly, different kinds of trees and colorful flowers and what-not" Sakura chuckled in between, she was surely overwhelmed by the memories of her childhood.

"I always loved spending my time there, but one day we heard the drastic news, that in a boar attack one of the guards got injured and not so later their old gardener died, Mr. Yamanaka was devastated, as his business went down for months. I was so furious with the animals and the god, I couldn't stop crying when I watched the view of the annihilated field which was once lively and serene, I swore I won't let those boars get away with this, not that I had enough of strength but I made my mind, and straight marched off the way where the boar came from" Sakura snorted upon thoughts how determined she was even though she didn't stand a chance against the wild boar.

"So you went hunting boar all by yourself" Sasuke snorted too.

"I was foolish back then, so I did, but I got horribly lost in the woods and was on the verge to cry," She chuckled on the thought that she is even sharing such memories with Sasuke, but it's magic of night, what can you say? She continued,

"But that's when I met a man and his son who was hunting boars in the woods, not like me, but for real because they had guns and all the weapons, firstly I was scared but they were kind to me, and that's when I heard them saying that, us human or every creature on this planet are bound in one cycle, this cycle also includes one's birth or death, so he advised me not to mourn on the loss of the person because that soul will again join us in the form of some other creature, as now he is undeniably the part of the nature." Sakura's tone became firm than before, Sasuke was quietly listening, as proceeded,

"He said, the cycle that binds us humans and nature is quite delicate and enigmatic to handle. The rule is we humans take care of nature and it will do the same in return, it's simply like what goes around comes around. But he also mentioned that no matter how facilities are provided to us by nature, still somehow we end up destroying it. All that remains in our hands is to either protect it or destroy it. But human is the only being who always ends up destroying it because of its self-regard." Sakura look at Sasuke,

"Now that I wonder what the old man truly meant, I truly understand the meaning behind his every word, I mean there are people like you, and me and Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, Lady Tsunade, Jiraiya-sama who are striving to protect everything in their limits but there also the people like this Akatsuki who are plotting to destroy the same thing. There are always two groups like saver squad and destroyer squad, fighting each other, but what it results in, complete destruction. Who's good is in that?" Sakura stated frustratingly.

"You shouldn't be so quick to categorize me" Sasuke spoke, he understood her feelings and angst emotions, but he felt a little guilty because Sakura undoubtedly put him in the 'saver squad' whereas he just quit the 'destroyer squad'.
