They never noticed. None of them. Not even once. They were all wrapped up in trying to get stronger, to out do the other.
Naruto was getting stronger to beat sasuke and to become hokage
Sasuke was getting stronger so he could kill Itachi and restore his clan
Neji was getting stronger so he could defy the main house of the hyuga
Lee was getting stronger to become a great ninja with only taijutsu
Shikamaru was getting stronger so he could have more time for shoji and sleep
Choji was getting stronger so he could prove he wasn't just 'big boned'
Kiba was getting stronger so he could be level with naruto
Shino... well nobody knew why he wanted to get stronger
Tenten was getting stronger to be like her idol tsunade
Ino was getting stronger so she could won sasuke's heart
Hinata was getting stronger so naruto could notice her
And not one of them noticed. They didn't notice how I was suffering, how hard I was trying, how much pain I was in. I couldn't take it any more so I left.
I left without a trail, without any means of contacting me, without any traces. I looked for a new life, one were someone cared.
They never noticed
Not until it was to late
My name is Sakura Haruno, I'm 18 years old. And I left Konoha.
