Summary
They didn’t notice when Sakura Haruno lost everything.
Not her teammates. Not her sensei. Not the village that had taught her all her life that becoming a shinobi meant belonging to something larger than herself.
So Sakura learned to move forward alone.
Years later, when Gaara wakes from death beneath the hands of the girl he once tried to kill, he barely recognizes her. The forgettable genin from the Chūnin Exams has become Tsunade’s apprentice, a medic capable of creating antidotes no one else could and interfering with a resurrection technique that should have demanded a life in exchange.
Gaara has never been particularly good at letting go of things that capture his attention.
Sakura has spent years becoming someone no one could afford to overlook.
