Summary
"I will always protect you, even if it costs me my life!”
Guilt and happiness warred within Sakura. It struck her now, like a deep, resonating note; the beautiful and painful truth that she was nothing compared to him. Rock Lee, with his unwavering courage and endless compassion, was too pure for their harsh ninja world. And Sakura needed him to realise it.
She knew she could still never truly deserve Lee. His inherent optimism and selflessness was unmatched. She would die before the day ever came.“Lee, you are kind and loyal and strong. You have a noble ninja way, which you have already accomplished. I’m sorry for judging you unfairly at first, but now I can see I was completely wrong. I need you to know you’re a better person and a shinobi than I will ever be; and even though I know you will never need protecting…” The bittersweet scent of cherries filled her as she inhaled, mustering the bravery to continue. To swallow her pride, to follow her heart, to overcome her love for Sasuke which still speared through her insides like a senbon. There was no turning back now.
“...I would be the one to give my life for you,”
