The most painful days and sorrowful nights

28. A Princess no more

I woke up to Sakura hovering over me. Her big green eyes narrowing in determination. I couldn't stop thinking about Sasuke, and how much he loves her. He could've easily killed her, but he didn't. Why? When he tells me he loves me, only to break my heart. I felt myself angry with him. When can I have him in return? When can I be happy? I pushed the girl away from me,and stood on my feet.

"You're wasting your chakra on me, I can heal up myself." I says while showing my lower back. The scratch marks now fading as if nothing ever happened.

"How are you able to do that? " Sakura asked. "The only person in this era who can do that is Tsunade-sama and Me -"

"Did we not just go through a war because of my dad and his evil plot to take out humanity? " I asked. "Did you not see how freakishly hard it was to attack and leave a mark on him.?"

Kakashi's eyes narrowed. "You claim to be the smart, but I'm not seeing any sign of intelligence coming from you. " I went on. "I'm Madara's daughter. How that happened, I don't even know. All I know is that a part of Hashirama that my dad had is also inside of me."

"So you can heal yourself? " Sakura asked. I nod and looked over at my mother. I can see she's been crying since after dad died. My real father ; a man I can look up to.

I wanted another fight against Madara, just to see what will happen.

I turned by back on the girl and walked towards my mother, my eyes glancing over at my father for the last time. Taking in my last memory of him.

He wanted us to go on without pain and suffering. He wanted me to go on without losing more than I already have. He wanted happiness. To hear my humming while I play with his hair. I was wanting a friend, and I saw my father's face while I drew him.

I remember him now, when I was little. That person I drew was him. I owe so much to my father, that I didn't know where to start.

"Let's go, mom. " I said, "Saizo's probably worried about us."

" Uzume! " Sakura called out, while grabbing my arm. "Aren't you gonna wait for Sasuke? "

Mother was silent, her eyes locking onto me. What was she thinking? I didn't care about Sasuke anymore. I wanted to go home and see my son. Not hopelessly spend my days worrying about a boy's love -when that boy only loves someone else.

I kicked her hard in her stomach. Watching her crumble onto the ground. "If Sasuke wants me, he can find me."

"Omichi. " Kakashi called out, mother turned her attention towards Kakashi. "If you would like, I was going to see Obito and Rin's graves. "

"I will. " Omichi says, while noticing my sour face,and added. "Later. "

Kakashi nods, before sighing. "Sasuke wants make a revolution. He wants to change the world for you. He wants to see you smile for once and feels that that will be the way to repay you. "

Sasuke, you dumbass...!

"We're going to stop him now, if you'd want Uzume -"

"My son comes first." I said before leaving. The moment I went back home, I rushed towards the Bunker and hear sounds.

"Saizo! " I called out. There was scuffling sounds, before I heard him call my name.

"Mama! Mama!" I ran down the stairs and held Saizo tight. Kissing his cheek and thanking God that he's safe.

"Are you really home? No more leaving? " he asks me. I nod.

"I'll stay with you, and we can train together. " He smiled at me.
