Sakura develops a massive childhood crush on Sasuke, which he initially dismisses as annoying. However, as teammates in Team 7, they form a genuine bond. Sasuke protects her on multiple occasions, and Sakura is one of the few people who can calm his cursed seal. During the Chūnin Exams, Orochimaru uses genjutsu to frighten Sasuke and Sakura before attempting to kill them. Sasuke overcomes his fear and rescues Sakura while princess carrying her by cutting his leg with kunai before which caused his one leg to bleed. Orochimaru then inflicts Sasuke with the cursed seal and Sasuke undergoes intense pain while Sakura tries to comfort him by taking his one hand on her both hands to provide him some warmth. He later collapses in her arms. With Naruto and Sasuke unconscious, Sakura is forced to protect them by herself when more ninja show up to attack them and fights the Sound Ninja in battle despite being in disadvantage. Sasuke eventually awakens with his cursed mark and, upon seeing Sakura beaten, he angrily demands to know who hurt her. One of the ninja mockingly confesses the truth and Sasuke begins brutally beating him because he hurt Sakura. Sakura is terrified to see him behaving like this and begs him to stop while hugging him from behind. Sasuke then comes to his senses and deactivates his cursed mark. He looks at her as she tries to explain away why she cut her hair. While recuperating, Sasuke and Naruto catch fish to eat but Sasuke demands more than the three they have. Sakura asks Sasuke to start a fire and he says three will be enough before leaving, much to Naruto’s dismay. Upon reaching the tower, Sakura helps carry Sasuke, who tells her that he is okay. Later, she tries to convince him to forfeit because of the cursed seal causing him pain but he warns her not to tell anybody about his cursed mark. #sasuke #sasukeuchiha #sakura #sakuraharuno #sasusaku @✢ issa @мαlνιηα ݁ ˖Ი𐑼⋆ @𝑨𝒉𝒔𝒉𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒋'𒉭 @ྀིྀིྀིྀིྀི @shikamaru/kushina (Arah) @kz .᭡ @Manguke 🥭 @Nero @unkow @goatee @Roronoa zoros cumsock (✾ᴀɴɢɪᴇ) @࣪ ִֶָ☾.࣪࿐ 𝘚✮𝘴𝘶𝘬𝘦 🌸 @Kikyo @𝓐🥀🥀 @𝓛𝓮𝓼𝓵𝔂🌸 @🌸 @🕷️ @🌸ᩖᩚ𝑩𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒎🌸ᩖᩚ @svkuraxx @:) @midnata🚮🗑️🤢 - @.nowelle
