SasuSaku Month 2018
Day 24: No Mercy

Author’s Note: I’m down to the last three prompts for SS Month… and they’re considerably shorter since I think I squeezed my brain dry~

Being the legendary shinobi that he is, there is only very little that Sasuke’s senses can’t detect. As he was taking a stroll in the forest, the cloak he’s wearing fluttering with the breeze, his sharp ears detected a fight not too far from his own location: around a mile northeast. He almost, almost, didn’t want to butt in but suddenly the earth beneath him shook like that of an earthquake – or like after someone punched the ground itself.
There was only one person he knew that could have the raw strength to do that feat, and she was supposed to be staying in Konoha safe and sound.
Leaving no time to think of his actions, he rushed towards the direction of the battle. He didn’t have to tell his body to move in order to save her. No, it was pure instinct matched with a childhood habit he never really grew out of. Sakura is one of his most precious people and he’ll never forgive himself if something happens to her that he could have prevented.
