[ Good Memory ]

[ When it comes to her good positive memories, few are as positive as the time she finally felt equal to her teammates, Naruto and Sasuke. On top of that, it’s a positive memory for her because the team she loved was finally back together. When she sees it, it fills her with a sense of pride, so there isn’t anything wrong with anyone seeing that. ]

[ Bad Memory ]

[ Her bad memory however, took place only a short time after that. It had been a crushing moment, because she’d thought the team was back together. Thought that Sasuke was finally coming around to his senses and leaving his darkness behind. Having him reject them immediately after winning the war, and continuing his path to revenge was soul crushing. It’s not something she wants to relive, or watch unfold, let alone see the moments after she’d been put under a genjutsu.

Having those two things put up on the network has her feeling very emotional, and she figures she has to offset the feelings somehow. What better way than to focus on more practical issues. Wiping her eyes she keeps her voice upbeat. ]

Many of you know I’ve been working on building a wellness center. Well…it’s almost done. Not long now before people can have a place to mentally recharge from all these…sorts of things.

But see, I’m trying to utilize the things that happen every month to use them for our benefit. This month I’ve noticed the fruit seems to have special properties. I’ve learned about some through trial and error, but would you all be willing to share your experiences with me so that I can catalog the information so I know what to avoid and make medicine out of the ones that are beneficial?

[ Well that’s… something he is going to aggressively ignore, yep!! It’s fine, probably. ]

The blueberries allow for some sort of healing powers. They’d likely be good to save.

[creationrebirth]

[ Which, who knows whether that's a good thing or not. She looks at him curiously for a moment, expression unreadable, before offering a smile. ]

Probably the best to make jam with in that case. I'll keep a few around the house too. You're sure to get yourself into trouble and need it.

[dohaeris]

[sansa was just about to leave a video listing the curses when]

Oh! Cooking the blueberries ruins the power. It makes you hurt people instead.

We've had to learn all the curses for the bakeoff. Grapes are the other way around, you have to cook them before they're safe to eat. Raspberries make you angry, and apples make your memories visible to other people, and lemons make you...want things.

[creationrebirth]

[ Yikes, that's good to know. All the more reason to test things. She grimaces. ]

Thanks for the heads up. Figuring out the properties of things is the hardest part about creating medicines or anti-toxins.

[ She looks like she's jotting a few things down in a notebook, repeating what Sansa says about each thing under her breath. She looks up when she mentions lemons. ]

Want things? What kind of things?

[retsuden]

[ Well, at least Sansa gave a warning for both of them. He gives a small huff. ]

Jams are too sweet anyway.

[creationrebirth]

That's right, you have no sweet tooth. I'll never understand that about you.

[ Of all the things to not understand about him... ]

[onerthes]

Not that I had any doubts you were special, but ...

...

You are incredibly strong aren't you? Just... physically so. I haven't seen a punch like that in a very long time.

[And uh... it might have been a tree that did it.]

[creationrebirth]

[ She laughs at that. She wasn't sure she'd consider herself special, everything she'd done she'd had to work hard for. It had never came naturally to her, but she was exceptionally proud of what she had accomplished. ]

Years of training really. Though Naruto's always been afraid of my fist.

You know, I threatened to hit someone here and they didn't take me very seriously.

[onerthes]

[she barked out a laugh.]

You know, as much as you look like a completely normal, smiling young lady? They'd be wise never to underestimate someone from their appearance. I certainly won't be underestimating you.

Really, though. It impresses me that you trained as much as a healer but have that level of power.

[creationrebirth]

Oh! No, definitely not that. Anyone from home would tell you I'm far from normal. I suppose I haven't broken through that facade here.

[ Sometimes she thinks about that very thing, and honestly she does occasionally miss the more physical work of being a ninja. ]

My mentor would point out that a healer should actually be the strongest person on the battle field. She'd say that a healer is the most valuable person. Everyone is trained in combat, but not everyone can heal, so if the healer is attacked, they must be able to defend themselves.

You know, sometimes I miss being on the frontlines and fighting my way through enemies, but medicine was always a talent of mine. Besides, I kind of like knowing that I can help take down a...goddess, but reserve those skills. Being underestimated can be a good thing. Though I suppose my secret is out now.

[oh, well, sakura is amazing and sasuke is capable of being really dumb. these aren't new concepts to sansa. still, she wishes someone would have bothered teaching her to use her chakra at winterfell. maybe then she could've saved lady, at least. the parallels, though, in three years of continual training, don't entirely escape her. but sakura had unleashed incredible power, and sansa had only been...clever enough to work out littlefinger's stupid lessons and tricks.

at the same time, it reminds her of how it felt that arya seemed more interested in killing cersei than in rescuing her. she's very glad arya didn't get herself killed by the palace guards trying to rescue her, but all the same.

none of this has any bearing on the wellness center. sansa has more important things to impress sakura with.]

Oh, Lady Luna discovered that fruit cooked by Palebloods has healing properties, except when it has dangerous curses. We've been trying to make different kinds of jams and preserves, in case the Season of Blood is very difficult. I've been making them for the Sanctuary, but I should be glad to bring them to the Wellness Center, too.

[a pause.]

Are you all right?

[she seems all right, and sansa doesn't want to make a fuss on a public post, but it feels rude not to ask.]

[creationrebirth]

[ It wouldn't have surprised Sakura at all that she and Sansa had several things in common. They hadn't known each other long, but she felt a kinship with her and they seemed to appreciate very similar things.

Sakura addresses the safer topic first. ]

Oh that would be wonderful. I'm working on things myself, and I've had a certain desire this month to hone my cooking skills...which aren't that great, but I am trying. Whatever you can add, will save me time for other things.

[ And of course, she's not surprised to be asked. ]

I am. It's...that was a bad time, but he's better and that's all I can ask for.

[dohaeris]

[sansa smiles faintly. it seems unkind to point out that they're lucky in that way. she suspects sakura already knows it.]

I should be glad to do whatever I can to help. And–I can ill afford to go around hitting people with my hands, but I've been working very hard on my chakra control, and I would be very glad to learn healing ninjutsu sometime, if you might like to teach me.

[creationrebirth]

[ The fact that she's gone from being a student to a teacher, fills her with a sense of pride. ]

I'd be happy to teach you what I can. How is the chakra control training going?

[obeir]

[ The memories seem so personal that he isn't sure it would be appropriate to even comment on them. Well. There's probably no harm in complimenting her combat abilities, because: ] That's impressive, what you're able to do with your fists alone.

[ But the other memory... It seems better to focus on her announcement about the wellness center. ]

Do you need any additional help setting up your wellness center?

[creationrebirth]

[ She blushes a bit at the compliment. ] A lot of hard work, though my dear friend would say I'd been practicing on his face since we were children.

[ She breathes a sigh of relief at the offer. ] Oh, that would be wonderful. I could really use some help setting up furniture and medical supplies.

[obeir]

[ Amused: ] It's a wonder he still has a face.

[ K's accustomed to doing the heavy lifting for others, but given what he saw in that memory, he thinks that might not apply here. But either way— ]

I'm happy to assist in whatever way I can. In an ongoing capacity, if you need it. [ Because he recognises how vitally important having a community wellness center will be; he volunteers at the Sanctuary for similar reasons. ] I'm no healer myself, but I'm sure I can be useful in other ways. Or... [ He hesitates. ] Do you also teach, like Uchiha sensei?

[creationrebirth]

[ She laughs. It kind of is. ]

He and I have spoken about my helping with his classes, but as of yet I haven't have a chance to do much teaching.

[saltyadam]

I'd be happy to share what I know, and also help with any data collection or analytics that may be useful.

[He gives her a small smile.]

It's been awhile since I felt useful around here. It'd be a nice change of pace.

[creationrebirth]

Thank you. I really do appreciate the help. If you can help me collect data, you'll save me a lot of time to work on testing the properties of everything and actually making things.

I'm Sakura, by the way.

[saltyadam]

Of course, just let me know where you need me and I can start collating. After we know what it looks like perhaps we can talk about the best ways to organize it all.

Adam. Nice to meet you, Sakura.

[creationrebirth]

You as well!

I'm pretty good with organizing, so together we shouldn't run across any issues. Do you have any ideas of where you'd like to start?

[distant_one]

Apricots, strawberries, and grapefruit all have no effect on their own.

I haven't tried any in combination.

[creationrebirth]

Good to know! They don't sound like they'd make very good combinations either.

[distant_one]

Last month, there were teas with flowers and fruit that also had unusual properties.

Pomegranate and some kind of flowers.
