Summary
Sakura Haruno is ten when she first sees Konoha. And her feet are planted firmly for the first time, spreading roots among the trees and people that feel like home
Yet still...
A hunger gnaws deep within her chest, pushing and pulling at the pit in the bottom of her stomach, searching for something she can't quite name. It rumbles and burns in her belly, leaving a sickening sweet taste on the inside of her cheeks.
Sakura is ten when she comes home for the first time —her father wrapped in a blanket and a hollowness in her chest— and the trees rejoice with her happiness. And burn with her anger. And wail with her despair. And beg her to reach out and satiate her hunger.
