Sometimes Sakura thought that she might as well start living in the library. After her classes ended at the Academy, on Monday, Tuesday, and then Wednesday, she had let Naruto return home with her mother, while she made her way to her favorite place in all of Konoha.

Like clockwork, she 'd say goodbye to her friends, ask Naruto if he wanted to come with her, at which point he 'd inevitably scrunch up his nose and refuse, and then she 'd spend hours in the library, surrounded by scrolls and books, her own notebooks and colored pens, before going home for dinner. Sakura 's newest obsession was, of course, fuinjutsu. Shisui had promised her that he 'd pick up some study materials for her, but she hadn 't seen him since they'd had breakfast at her house on Sunday morning, before he had gone to meet with his ANBU team.
