A/N: Hi everyone 😅 I know I said something about publishing the next chapter around 25-30th of May but unfortunately I could not. I was just so lost at that time. You know suffering from some mental breakdowns. But still I'm glad for the no. of people who are genuinely reading this book.

So thank you all the anonymous readers for coming by just read a new chapter. Thank you all the quick readers for reading and voting on every chapter. And thank you to all the thorough readers for reading, voting and droping a decent comment about what they think of every chapter. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

So here we go with the 7th chapter of ACaR---->

"Every one of us must

do what's in their power!Even if it means...
..becoming selfless..."
-Sakura Haruno

Chapter: 7

"Marry me, Sakura."

It is unfathomable how burdened Sakura felt just by hearing that proposal of two words from the man she loves so deeply. The impact was like the sting of a million senbons. All her life she had imagined hearing these words from him in varied and vivid romantic ways. But this reality is nothing like she had envisioned in her dreams. This sounds more like a painful nightmare. Just to make sure that she wasn't in a state of sleep, she closed her eyes and bit her own tongue. When she opened them back, her emerald gaze was captured by his onyx one. The sharingan was gone.

"W-w-wh-at?!" She stuttered-out in fear, her eyes widening.

The dark-haired guy before her passed a hand through his ebony locks and sighed. For a brief moment, she noticed something close to guilt in his eyes which was immediately masked by another one of his usual blank stares. He kept staring at her, thinking on the exact words that he needed to use to keep her from losing her sanity. He moved a few steps back as if it would help her in processing his command.

"You heard me loud and clear. This is what I want from you." He said.

She shook her head frantically and pressed herself further into the door to stay as far away from him as possible. The prospect of her getting married to Sasuke looks completely unreal. If anything, this proposal appears like some sort of peace treaty. And the minute she signs it, her whole life will be tied to this dark man of her dreams. No! This just cannot be true. This must be some kind of a bad dream. A nightmare.

"Think rationally, Sakura. If you do this..if you marry me, I will grant your wish." He tried to coax her.

She shut her eyes and hugged her small frame tightly. The Hyuga Clan is on the verge of its elimination at the hands of some anbu who work for the Hokage. This matter is so hard to handle that not even the members of FoK could come up with any ideas other than a well-planned coup d'état. But here she is, plainly requesting her ex-teammate to terminate this plot and he approves willingly in exchange for her own hand in marriage. If she accepts, then she will be able to save an entire clan from being exterminated. But if she declines, then the FoK will have to carry-out with their plan of secret attack without any aid from the members of their group who are currently in different villages. And even if she somehow manages to convince Hinata to help them out then too their chances of victory will be very slim. Afterall, the Uchiha have an army while they are only a small group consisting of 15-25 members. There is just no way to defeat the Uchiha government at such a low number of members.
