"But all I did was watch you guys from behind... I want to become like you guys... Everyone... This time... get a good look at my back." - Haruno Sakura

It was hard to come up with a title for this deviation... I was thinking of "Grace", but I didn't look too graceful. I finally decided on "Courage" because I think that Sakura has changed a lot from the beginning of the series till now. She has grown from some immature, love-sick girl to a kunoichi who is very valuable to Konohagakure.

I think it takes a lot of courage to change, especially when things aren't going your way, things are going downhill and people look down on you. When you're at the lowest point of your life, it is easy to want to just give up on life - to pick yourself up and move on isn't easy at all. To gain the motivation to be come stronger is even harder.

I suppose I also chose this title because I know that she isn't really an ANBU in the series. I respect ANBU a lot because they are the ones who can give up their lives any day just for the citizens in Konoha. That being said, you've got to be brave enough to join. I don't think they get enough credit .

I can only hope that the title I chose was an appropriate one.

I know I don't look the best in pink hair, but I really do love KakaSaku so I had to wear this for that part of the shoot. I will eventually be doing an ANBU shoot with my normal hair - so look out for that!

Note: Before you ask where we got our masks - we made them out of a base mask, then used model magic & paint.
