Hiraeth

Hiraeth; A longing for something, someone, or somewhere that may not have existed or no longer exists.

Sakura always wanted friends. Ever since she stepped foot in the village of Konohagakure, her mother promised her tens of friends. All different but similar in loving Sakura. And who doesn't want that? Sakura was promised a second family in her genin team. A unit that moved as one. She got neither of those things.

This is not unexpected, of course, as a shinobi, you have to understand that not everything is going to happen to plan. Sakura learns by herself, because how else is she going to? She doesn't have a clan, or older siblings to fall back on, how hard the shinobis life is, and one way or another, she's going to prosper.
