And Shizune Is So Cute - Tumblr Posts

Students' students AU part 2

Part 1

So following Tsunade's return, the village falls back to a peaceful mood. Missions begin to be assigned again, the sick and wounded from the Konoha crush attack are treated, and everyone seems ready to accept the new Hokage. But Orochimaru still wants his Uchiha and sends the sound four after him.

Anko protects Sasuke and fights off the four of them, and because he didn't have to stay in the hospital after Itachi showed up, she had been able to guide and train Sasuke here and there so he helps the fight as well.

They do win, - Anko nearly dies during the combat, and that gets her to unlock her mark's second stage.

And that's Sakura's first personal contact with a medic ninja, Shizune. She is obviously impressed and grateful she was there to help Sasuke, but most of all she is shocked Kakashi ran to her for help. Sakura is smart, too smart for her own good even. She knows her sensei is great and skilled, but she's noticed the difference in treatment between her and the boys, even if Kakashi doesn't mean to.

He protects her more, praises her more, but also pushes her less, lectures and guides her less than the boys. She understood it as part of being a 'kunoichi' - she would have to always work harder if she wanted to be on the same level as her male teammates.

So hearing that another woman - another kunoichi like her - was Kakashi's go to for help, for any matter, had Sakura intrigued.

And that's how she decides she wants that for her. She wants to be the kind of ninja and have the kind of skill that would have her sensei, her teammates and anyone else depending on her. Rushing to her for help. She decided to give being a medic ninja a try - and Shizune is more than happy to help with that.
