Tsunade had ordered every shinobi in Konoha to go through a series of of psychological tests to ensure that they were fit enough to be on duty. The only person who opposed of her decision was; Hatake Kakashi. This left the Hokage no choice but to deploy a certain pink haired medic to be his personal therapist. Sakura was afraid to enter Kakashi's mind, he had after all gone through one heck of a roller coaster ride in the past. Entering it would mean that she would have to feel his pain, sorrows and vulnerability. She pushed all those fears aside and decided to help her ex-Sensei, regardless. But what she did not expect was to fall for the man who she was desperately trying to save. # ranked 2nd under Kakasaku on 27th April 2019 :) #ranked 1st under Kakasaku on 23rd May 2019 :)
