[Sasusaku Fanfiction] [Blankperiod] In the quiet aftermath of the war, Sasuke Uchiha returns to Konoha after two years of solitude and atonement. The village has moved on, but Sasuke's journey of redemption is far from complete. As he begins to repair the broken relationships of his past, he finds himself reconnecting with Sakura Haruno, who has always stood by him. "Between Us" follows the delicate process of rebuilding trust, mending old wounds, and the slow emergence of feelings that have long been buried. With Sakura joining Sasuke on his journey of healing, their bond grows into something deeper - a love that could finally bridge the distance between them.

After 2 years, Sasuke returns to the village where friends anxiously await him. Still troubled by the mysteries of Kaguya and his personal guilt, Sasuke is split between friends and his journey. One specific pink-haired individual has perhaps waited for him with far more dedication than anyone else. Troubled by rising casualties and international dependence on her abilities, Sakura is torn between her love for Sasuke and her duty to her village. **This fic is tightly adapted to the Sasuke Shinden and Sakura Hiden light novels.
