His forces are building, it is only a matter of time before he tries again. Tsunade is the Fifth Hokage and her elite are dropping around her like flies. Is it Orochimaru, or the Akatsuki? She sends several of the Rookie 9 out to investigate. When her own apprentice Sakura Haruno is attacked and poisoned, she is saved by the person she least expected and her world is turned upside down. Who do you trust in a world where no one is who they seem? Sakura struggles to find answers in places no one ever thought she would go, least of all her, and Team 7 will never again be the cute little Genin they once were. Life happens, people change, some die, some grow stronger, some grow closer, while others grow farther and farther apart until they spiral out of control. Nanakorobi yaoki is a phrase that means: Fall seven times, stand up eight.
