Chapter Text
Obito stared at the list in front of him.
He had read it at least half a dozen times since he found the paper among the hospital reports he had to sign.
Reading it, he suddenly felt his pants tighten, partly because he knew he shouldn't be reading it, but mostly because of the woman who had written those words. Haruno Sakura, born in a civilian family, had surprised everyone when she entered the ninja academy and, even though she had no blood heritage to support her like her colleagues, she ended up becoming, without a doubt, the most influential and powerful kunoichi of her generation, to the point of impressing the legendary Senju Tsunade, with whom she left the village years ago to be her apprentice.
An impressive feat in itself, as the Senju would not accept just anyone, a fact Obito was aware of given the number of times the Sannin refused to train Rin despite the requests and recommendations of the Yondaime, Namikaze Minato.
The Haruno had left soon after it was announced that Sasuke, as one of the heirs of his clan, would marry an Uchiha kunoichi in order to give heirs to his family, since Itachi's condition did not allow him to have children.
As much as he had no contact with the Kakashi team because of his disagreements with Hatake, Obito knew that she used to be passionate about her teammate and supposed that seeing him in the arms of another might have been too much for her. He had been present when Fugaku found out that his youngest son was dating Haruno and tried to find a bride before he went completely astray, thinking that a mere civilian would weaken his lineage.
All so that in the end Sakura would make a name for herself, become an elite kunoichi recognized by the five great nations as the best ninja doctor and, even though she was away for years, have Konoha in her pocket making constant offers for her to return and take over the medical department, fearing she would offer her talents to another village.
As Godaime Hokage, Obito always received reports from her and could easily distinguish the messy and hurried handwriting of Tsunade, who surely thought it was a waste of time, from the short and extremely formal text of Shizune, from the organized and fluid writing of Sakura.
For this reason he had no doubt that the list in front of him was written by her.
What he didn't understand was what was going on in that pretty little pink head of hers to put such a thing on paper. Sakura had become a stunning and extremely successful woman, the fact that she resorted to making such a list as if she couldn't fulfill such fantasies with one of the thousand suitors that threw themselves at her feet, was what really intrigued the Godaime.
1- Kissing someone until she loses her breath;
2- Getting a date;
3- Going to a brothel;
4- Dancing in the rain with someone special;
5- Have a secret date;
6- Spend the night in someone's bed;
7- Make love in a public space;
8- Have a threesome.
Fantasizing about such trivial acts as kissing, it was easy to assume that she was still a virgin. He wondered what she was thinking, if pure, virgin girls should have such fantasies. But, until then, what did he know about virgin girls? He had stopped being a virgin decades ago when life taught him a lesson and he stopped being a passionate idiot and started enjoying the pleasures of the flesh, since this seemed to be the only time when people really are sincere and show their true desires.
He couldn't help but wonder what Kakashi would say if he knew what his innocent little Sakura had been fantasizing about. Everyone knew that the Hatake was very protective of the Haruno, even to the point of getting into a strong disagreement with Fugaku who wanted the girl to be removed from team seven.
Obito felt a smile forming on his lips.
It had been months since he had lain with a woman. In recent years, the council had become more rigid, for they feared that he would never marry and that it would damage his image as the leader of a nation. The Godaime, who once desired such a union but had his heart broken, was finding it difficult to maintain his clandestine activities, as even the women began to pressure him, quickly forgetting the initial agreement of a casual relationship.
But, perhaps someone who has had her heart broken and has stayed away from relationships until now, would understand. Maybe Sakura was also looking for something casual, without ties and commitments that only served to create expectations and then be disappointed.
Not to mention that he would kill two birds with one stone.
With his mistresses he tended to choose the older and more experienced ones, because he knew he had depraved tastes that would frighten the more prudish ones. Obito wouldn't know what to do with a virgin who would expect romance, flowers and poems. But if what Sakura was looking for was adventure and new experiences, the Uchiha knew he was the man for the job.
Maybe it was time to have a little talk with a certain pink haired girl.

"I believe I am in possession of something that belongs to you" - O
Sakura stood at the entrance of the Hokage's office not understanding how it had come to this. She looked at the note she had received not believing that she had been so stupid.
"Of all people, did it have to be him?"
Ever since she could remember, Uchiha Obito had always been an enigmatic figure. Whenever she saw him, Sakura had the feeling that she was dealing with a hurt animal, not the kind that would give pity, but the kind so dark and hurt that it is ready to attack anyone who comes near, a wolf as lonely as it is powerful.
She remembered being at the Hatake mansion and finding a picture of the old Minato team. Remembered looking at the picture of a smiling boy dressed in bright colors and how it reminded her nothing of the man who now holds the title of Hokage. In one of the rare moments that Kakashi talked about the past, she remembered hearing him talk about a time when Obito was considered weak by Uchihas standards, how it took him a long time to awaken his sharingan, how funny and cheerful he was, nothing like the man that people now both respected and feared.
She never understood why the Minato team split up, the subject was kind of a taboo that no one commented on and everyone was bothered by any mention no matter how small.
The point was that Sakura had no intimacy with him at all, and now the Godaime had in hand a list of her darkest thoughts.
"Couldn't the fucker just burn the fucking list and pretend none of this had happened?"
She had made the list in a moment of weakness. She had left Konoha in an attempt to escape her own life, to escape her own feelings, but she had found her way alongside Tsunade and Shizune. It was supposed to be something temporary, maybe a year at most, but time was running out and by the time she realized it had been five years.
After a few refusals, Konoha finally made an offer she couldn't refuse, making her finally decide to return.
When she was reunited with her friends, she finally realized how time had passed and how much had changed. They were all married and with their established routines, routines that Sakura didn't feel she belonged to. They didn't even seem like people of the same generation anymore, the subjects were different, the lives were different.
That's when she began to question the last years of her life. Not that she regretted it, but she finally realized how focused solely on her training and career she had been, to the point of ignoring any other aspect of her life.
Seeing her ex in the arms of his wife with two children at the premature age of twenty-one didn't help much. "For someone who was forced into marriage, you sure have been enjoying yourself a lot!" the Haruno couldn't help but think.
With all this in mind, she began scribbling down a list of experiences she wanted to acquire. However, she was interrupted when a group of ninjas had arrived seriously injured and had to go into surgery. Upon returning to her office, she had found her desk empty, the list had disappeared along with the reports that were to be given to the Hokage to be signed.
She had despaired, but due to his cold and reserved persona, she counted on the Hokage's good sense to pretend that this had not happened.
But she couldn't have been more wrong!
Upon entering the Hokage's office, she noticed his relaxed and atypical posture, Obito looked like a panther in its natural habitat hunting a poor bunny.
Trying not to look like the bunny in question, the cherry blossom tried to correct her posture and look more haughty. She would demand her list back and leave.
- Good morning, Doctor Haruno! What do I owe the honor of your visit? - Obito stood up and walked over to the newcomer, stopping in front of her with a smug smile on his lips.
