Running away from park, Sakura kept her pace all the way to Hokage's building. Even though Tsunade was no longer Hokage, she still trained Sakura in the same building. Sakura's mind starts to overthink everything; "Did I lose him? What was she doing there? I should've treated him better! Damn you, Naruto...and Hinata!" Sakura was losing her breath as she started to slow down her running as she got to the Hokage's building. She stops as she leans on the wall and takes a deep breath. Eyes focused on the ground as she rethinks the scene over and over again; the way Hinata hugged Naruto and how he blushed. Sakura was trying to surpress her scream and aggression. She felt the urge to hit the entire Hokage building in order to let go of her angry feelings. She opened her mouth, ready to scream but then a soft voice could be heard;

"Sakura, what are you doing here? You should've been inside already. Are you okay?"

It was Shizune, Tsunade's assistant. She had a worried look on her face as she could see that something was bothering Sakura. Sakura looked at her as she slowly nodded her head.

"Yeah... yeah, I'm fine, I was running here in order to not be late, but...I guess I'm late anyway. I'm sorry. "

Sakura mumbles as she gets inside.

"It's okay, but are you okay? You look troubled. Sakura?"

Shizune asked multiple times as Sakura just kept her troubled face and ignored Shizune by making her way to enterance of building. When she got inside the classroom, she greeted Tsunade as she took off her coat and tied her hair.

"Okay, let's start with something easier. Please heal this dead fish while I prepare supplies that we will use for a new lesson."

Tsunade said as she walked to the locker that was in classroom. Sakura started her healing but couldn't concetrate properly. Shizune was making a check list, making sure nothing is missing, when she spots Sakura being distant and not doing her job properly. She approaches close to her.

"Sakura, concetrate, you're not doing your job properly."

Shizune whispered to Sakura as she pointed at fish that was being fried with her chakra. Sakura shakes her head as she sees fish was being fried and not healed. Sakura rubs her eyes as she tries again to heal fish again. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't focus.

"Sakura!"

Tsunade calls out loud and it made Sakura snap out and turn around.

"Your fish is fried just like in a barbecue shop! That's not a good. You need to focus on patient. Here, try again".

Sakura understands her mistake as she starts to focus on healing and manages to do her job perfectly.

"Alright, now let's start with our lesson. Today I'm going to teach you how to make antidote that can help you in stopping strong poisons that are injected by enemies tools."

Tsunade was explaining and showing Sakura ingredients, dishes she needed and also how to use her chakra in producing her antidote. Sakura was writing down in her notes but she can't stop thinking about Naruto and Hinata. "What's next that I can expect? They'll announce engagement party and they'll get married. Why did I never thought about him as my beloved partner. Why is all my teaching and hard work for when I can't be useful at least once!?"

"Sakura? Did you understand what I told you?"

Tsunade asked Sakura as she did noticed her being more distant than usual. Sakura looks at Tsunade and nods, although, she has no idea what was the last thing Tsunade said.

"Good, now it's your turn. Try to recreate this antidote".

Sakura nods as she takes tools and ingredients and starts to make antidote. Tsunade was obeying Sakura's body language and she immediately noticed that Sakura was troubled by something. That must've been reason for her lack of concectration. While almost done, Sakura was left on last step and it was to add a fingertip of...well, there was two choice in front of her; a Rosemary or Mentha. Sakura looked at both of ingredients as she wasn't sure which one Tsunade used. She thought the most logical would be Mentha cause it contained sedative effect so she puts in antidote. But it turned out to be mistake cause antidote started to bubble up and create stormy reaction. Sakura started to panic as she didn't know how to stop the leaking. Tsunade sighs as she uses her chakra and stops the chaos.

"Shizune, can you leave us alone for a while?"

Tsunade says as she stares at Sakura. Shizune nods as she leaves the classroom. Sakura looks down disappointed in herself. After so many studying and passing hard exams, she couldn't make a simple antidote.

"C'mon, relax, I won't yell at you. It's just that I noticed your troubled face. Is there anything bothering you".

"No, I'm fine".

Sakura mumbles while her gaze was still looking down.

"Sakura, you know you can't hide it from me. Tell me, maybe I can help you."

That's when Sakura's mask started to crack. She started to cry, as redness spreads her face. She fell on her knees as she started to scream:

"I lost him!"
