You remember perfectly that last night you saw Sasuke and said goodbye. Despite your attempts to get him to give up his quest for revenge, nothing changed his mind; he was willing to give up everything just to get revenge on his brother.

Sakura was bewildered by Sasuke's departure, just like Naruto, but you took the worst blow, knowing that despite having the three of you, he decided to take a more dangerous path that could result in never seeing him again. Perhaps that's his second objective.

Your only relief is that he comes to visit you secretly at night whenever he can, letting you know of his arrival with a gentle knock on your window so as not to alert the people sleeping. Tonight was no different, as always. As you sat up in your bed, you heard someone gently knock on your window.
