[ VOICE ] ✿✿ [ March 27 ◦ Morning ]

[punches]

For those who knew of him, Naruto Uzumaki has returned to the--[ There's a pause here, almost as though she intended to say something like 'battle', but instead is cut short with a different word. ]--home. He's gone home.

[ It wasn't like Naruto to keep quiet, but Sakura held off for as long as she could before making the confirmation. So it was only right for her to share her findings with everyone else. First Hinata, then Naruto... how many others were going to return before she could? Maybe she should have held off on this information since today was Hanabi's birthday, but it was better to get it out over this than in person. At least for her. ]

I'm going to be busy today, but if anyone feels that they need to talk about it, I can make some time to be there for you. [ Satisfied with that, it cuts off. ]

I could talk to her about meeting up to study. We've made plans for me to mentor her a little bit, so that alone shouldn't give her a hunch. If that's the method you think works best, that is.

It's good she has the day off at least. [ Returning back to that statement. ] No one should have to work on their birthday.

[ At least at her age. Sakura herself will work her butt off on her own. ]

She'd be suspicious if you directed her toward the court, however. It's enough that I need to change the time on short notice, but the location..

[This is what he gets for making plans ahead of time] I'll have one of her friends or Tenten redirect her with either a game or training.

[And there's a pause, moment of hesitation, considering] And I'm certain she'd be entirely willing join the mission if she still had a partner.

Understood, thanks for the heads up. [ The court now. Got it. ]

Wait? She doesn't have a partner anymore? [ That doesn't seem right to her at all. ] What is she doing without one?

Private voice;

[heavenly_earth]

She was partnered with Hinata-sama for the time she was here. For the moment however, she's just been perfecting Soul Menace- a Meister ability with striking similarity to Jyuuken- learning first aid, and scheduling survival course runs with Gai-sensei.

[ That explains her interest in it and what Sakura could teach her. ]

It's good that she's managed to keep busy. [ She can already tell that if she fails to keep herself occupied that she'll start to feel rotten over the loss of Naruto. ] With those skills as well...

Surprisingly, she hasn't had much fortune finding Weapons until Hinata-sama arrived, but she is young, so I imagine most underestimate her on appearance.

[But he's kind of secretly relieved, all the same because he doesn't know how to keep from worrying any time she does go on a mission and he's not able to protect her]

Private voice;

[punches]

It's a shame that they do. We're raised from so young to withstand many challenges so I'm confident she's capable of holding her own.

[ Sakura can't help but be frightened over the idea of her on the field of battle all the same. ]

Private voice;

[heavenly_earth]

Ah. Hopefully she'll find someone that can trust in her abilities soon.

Private voice;

[punches]

I understand. I'll keep her in company in the meantime if she allows for it.
