One month has passed since the Fourth Great Shinobi War, every village suffered a great loss and a setback once the Infinite Tsukuyomi's tree branches fell.

Many buildings were left broken, every villager was deprived of chakra. When the Kage's returned from the battlefield the real challenge started, every village was busy reconstructing buildings, healing, and recovering their villagers to their best state meanwhile making space for the war heroes too.

Medical ninjas didn't have time to breathe properly or even consider themselves ever since they returned.

It took nearly one month to stabilize and recover everyone back to their original state, because of such concerning things taking the first place, the most important thing was left behind- the funeral for the fallen comrades.

Son, daughter, father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunty, friends...

Today was the day to mourn those who never returned.

The pinkette stood in the compound of graves with every other villager present to showcase their gratitude and humble feelings towards the people who sacrificed themselves for the greater good.

She was in between Hanabi and Hinata who was assisted by Naruto and stood by her side solemnly as she cried for her late cousin.

There were a lot of people Sakura didn't know, some she did and some she came to know while fighting and healing alongside them. Her heart felt heavy as a medical ninja knowing she couldn't save at least half of them but the rational part knew that this was bound to happen.

Everyone was struggling to move on from the war memories, specially Senju Tsunade whose bottom and the upper half were split while she still was a bit conscious. It took a lot of toll on her mental health because it's not every day, you find yourself on the brink of death amidst other people, and your body split into two.

That's why she has decided to step down from the Hokage seat once the village is stable enough, it's only been a month, it would be too early to take such a big step when people are still reeling in grief.

Many buildings were still under construction, and the economic rate of every village has gone down the drain including the Hidden Leaf. Physically almost everyone has regained their strength but mentally it has gone down. Every village was short on some or other supply, people might have recovered but every village has taken a huge setback.

People were starting to leave, more like escaping from the pain they were feeling looking at the graves. They won but still, everything was falling apart.

People came here to show gratitude towards the hero's in the war yet she felt so discontent knowing Sasuke couldn't be here to mourn his brother even though Itachi is still called a genocide maniac.

A lot of people didn't believe but Uchiha Itachi played a major role in helping the shinobi win the war according to the testimony of, Kabuto, Killer B, Sasuke, and Naruto, especially Naruto who brought up the topic.

A lot of other things also came to light however Sakura and Naruto were kept out of it, Itachi being considered a hero would have been questioned by everyone but since Naruto was the one who spoke strongly on his behalf, people eventually agreed with the war hero who carried 50% of the war on his back.

However, Itachi's status as a rogue ninja as well as a Hero was still being discussed in the documents as everyone only knew about his help in the Fourth Great Shinobi War, no one knew the truth of the coup nor can anyone know, that's Itachi's last wish or it will ruin the Uchiha name.

Not only Sakura but Naruto also felt that it was unfair for Sasuke to not be able to join the ceremonial area. Everyone should have gotten the chance of mourning, however, he was in jail under strict surveillance.

As much as it's hard for Naruto to see Sasuke being treated like that when he's the victim of the village elders, boils his blood however he can't be irrational and let out any information even if it means seeing Sasuke restricted.

For one month, neither Sakura nor Naruto has met Sasuke, they weren't allowed to especially.

It took a lot to calm down the hyper ninja however after one punch from Sakura, not a single tantrum was thrown even if she wanted to see Sasuke more than ever.

The kunoichi walked out of the ceremonial area without the blonde as he was with Hinata, who was trying to stand strong for her younger sister but was failing miserably.

It's good that the baka is there for her.

She walked away with a heavy heart, feeling alone and prone to breaking apart. Nowadays she has become very sensitive, every little discomfort or bad news brings tears to her eyes as she is busy suffocating under her feelings she doesn't want to confront. There are a lot of things she hasn't processed in her mind yet, more like she isn't getting the time to process since the war because of the importance of medical ninjas nowadays.

A lot of things are bothering her, especially not being able to see Sasuke. The last she saw him was when he was being apprehended and taken away the day everyone returned from the battlefield. She wasn't allowed to provide medical services to him, it can be any ninja just not her.

She's worried if Sasuke is healing all well if he's eating, what if his arm caught an infection, and what if his mental health is also declined like any other shinobi after the war. Her worries formed lines of tension on her forehead.

Her heart was always worrying about him, here Naruto and everyone got their required treatment but she can't say the same about him.

It irks both Naruto and Sakura that they're strictly not allowed to talk about Sasuke or meet him.

Anything related to him is S-rank information.

"Sakura". A voice pulled her out of her rivery as she turned, surprised to see him.

"Kakashi-sensei". She smiled, but he could see on her face that she had it rough.

"Let's take a walk.." He offered with a fatherly smile.

"Hai". She nodded, glad that she won't be alone right now.
