That's- That's just cause she's way ahead of me right now! Where I'm from she and Sasuke and me are all the same age! Well- almost anyway, but that's just by a few months. It was supposed to be my birthday the next day if I remember right...

And anyway, she really is my friend! Sakura-chan's much more than a comrade, or even just a teammate. She's one of my most important bonds!
