Treatment

"Grow up... Death comes with being a shinobi. There are times when death is hard to accept, but if you don't get over it, there's no future..." - Tsunade

Sakura would freely admit that she had never expected herself to become a medic in her life, she had never even thought about it before.

Even when she was training under Tsunade she never really placed much thought on what exactly a medic-nin is, never realized how crucial a medic-nin is to a village.

Then she was assigned to her first emergency surgery, Tsunade was out at a meeting in Sunagakure and Sakura was the only medic-nin available.

Usually Sakura wouldn't do anything without Tsunade's permission, but she was dragged into the surgery room. From then on she didn't have any choice.

The surgery was a complete failure and the ninja? His name was carved onto the memorial stone.

Sakura had nightmares for days, her dreams revolving around the surgery. Screams, blood, pressure and a constant voice asking her why she had let him die.

Tsunade came back to the Leaf Village and someone had probably told her about the surgery.

The blond hadn't tried to cheer her up or anything like that.

"Grow up. Death comes with being a shinobi. There are times when death is hard to accept, but if you don't get over it, there's no future. If you want to quit, go ahead, I won't stop you"

Those were the words Tsunade had spoke before leaving her. But those words had an impact on Sakura.

She couldn't quit.

She realized that being a medic-nin means having peoples' lives in her hands. It was her skills that decided if they would live or die.

'And that's exactly why I won't let anyone die on my watch ever again'

With that thought Sakura sped up, she couldn't let Itama die.

"Just a little bit more" Kawarama informed sensing her burst of determination

Sakura nodded feeling Tobirama's eyes on her back. She gave up on making the future Second Hokage stop treating her suspicously a few minutes ago.

Eventually the brother duo and medic reached a small forest clearing hidden by trees, and in that clearing lay a tent.

Sakura wasn't surprised that they didn't lead her to their clan compound. It would be suspicious if they had done that.

Why? Because what sort of ninja would reveal their base to someone who isn't their ally?

Sakura paused feeling five chakra signatures in the tent, one of which she knew was Hashirama Senju's while another was very faint.

She took a step forward towards the tent and instantly Kawarama and Tobirama flashed to her right and left side respectively.

She barely spared them a glance knowing that it was required if she wanted to enter the tent.

Finally she stepped into the tent, her eyes quickly surveying the inside. It was a simply arranged surgery room themed tent.
