That night at the Konoha prom Naruto wondered around aimlessly with a soda in his hand bored out of his mind. "Ugh, why do I even come to these things in the first place when I always got nobody to go out with?" Naruto wondered as he dropped down in the chair. He then spotted a cute pink haired girl from a distance which caught his attention. The girl leaned on the wall looking away without a care in the world.
Naruto could not take his eyes off her not even for a second. He was so dazzled by her beauty appearance. "Maybe, this wasn't such as waste after all." Naruto chirped. Naruto begin to straighten his hair, took some mints, and made sure he was dressed nicely. He then approached her with a smooth guy charm hoping to impress her; however, she continued to look the other direction pretending Naruto wasn't there.
"Hey there Sakura how are you today?" Naruto greeted with a smile.
"Go away Naruto, your annoying…" Sakura shunned.
"Well that's awfully mean I figure since we both came here to the prom. You might want to spend time with yours truly." Naruto smiled. Sakura signed. "You and just like all the other guys." Sakura denied. "You don't really think you can buy me off with that fake act of yours." Sakura said.
"Come on Sakura I assure you I've changed after all these years, since we were little. I even got some new techniques." Naruto said with admiration. He showed off his fighting moves to Sakura.
Sakura yawned in boredom once again. "Even when grown up your still a little kid. You haven't changed a bit." Sakura complained. Bored with his attempts and appearance she walked away from Naruto. Naruto stood there with dumbfounded rejection wondering where he went wrong.
The next morning Naruto ate some breakfast at the usual Ichiraku ramen hoping to forget his miserable rejection with Sakura. "Man I just don't understand her right now, she's even more stubborn then she was last year." He soaked. "Oh don't worry Naruto I'm sure she'll come around." The ramen chief cheered. "Yeah if not there are penalty of fish in the sea." The ramen chief's daughter replied.
"Plain hard to get huh…now it all makes sense…" Naruto felt with fire in his eyes of determination. He quickly dashed off leaving money on the counter. Naruto than found out that Sakura worked at the Konoha hospital healing the wounds of the injured men. He spied on her through a window admiring her hard work. He slipped on an object which made so noise that cause Sakura to be concern. Sakura looked out the window, but nobody was there, so she got back to work. Naruto transformed back to his normal self as he was disguised as a statue.
Sakura finished her shift and clocked out Naruto sat outside waiting for her. "Hey there again Sakura…" Naruto greeted with a sincere smile. Sakura walked away from him pretending he wasn't even there just like last night. Naruto continued to pursue her no matter what, but the more he did the more annoyed Sakura have gotten by his appearance.
"Don't be like that Sakura; just go out with me you'll never know how it'll turn out unless you give it a chance…" Naruto begged. "You're wasting your time; now go away your presence is annoying me." Sakura said. "Come on Sakura why do you have to be so cold?" Naruto asked.
"Even if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand…" Sakura said. "I could be a pretty understanding guy, so shot away." Naruto joked. "Ugh," Sakura moaned. She walked away from Naruto yet again. "If you don't succeed then try again," Naruto thought to himself. He caught up to Sakura.
"Damn it; knock it off already, your annoying…" Sakura turned her back to tell off Naruto, but was actually somebody else.
"What'd I do…whatever it is I'm sorry…" the other guy ran for his life after Sakura's insult. "Wait, I didn't mean you…" Sakura apologized. The guy continued to ran away as Sakura felt bad for her insult at that random guy. Little did Sakura know Naruto watched her from a distance?
Naruto came back after a mission the next morning very sore on his body. He then checked himself at the Konoha hospital. Naruto waited in his hospital bed waiting for a nurse. Sakura came in to treat the patient Naruto. Naruto looked at the ground with deep emotionless face. Sakura could not help but notice his apathy face.
"Uh, please hold still while I treat your wounds." Sakura ordered. Naruto held his arm out while Sakura treated his wounds. Naruto continued to look another direction. Sakura begin to wonder why Naruto would not pay her a smile like last time. "Hey Sakura…" Naruto asked.
"Uh, yes…" Sakura surprised.
"You want to go out for ramen sometime, my treat." Naruto offered with a smile.
Sakura was completely shocked at Naruto as she felt like an idiot for thinking something was wrong with him. She then remembered the time where Naruto pulled a prank on her when she was little and then she punched him so hard he flew. Sakura started to chuckle a bit.
"You idiot, guess you have change a bit, okay, okay…" Sakura submitted to Naruto date request. "Really…all right," Naruto cheered, but still felt some sore pains in his body as he fell to the ground.
That afternoon Naruto and Sakura went out for ramen. "This stuff is good," Sakura complimented. "Yep, it's the best stuff in the land." Naruto said. "That is really sweet of you." The ramen chief replied in tears. "Guess with work at the hospital must really keep you busy." Naruto said. "You don't know the half of it. Its hurt central, it's like these people keep getting hurt on purpose just to keep coming back see to the pretty nurses." Sakura shot back. "That may be the only reason…" Naruto joked.
The two walked through town together. Naruto felt happy to be with Sakura even if it was only temporary. "So are you free around sometime on break…" Naruto wondered. Sakura signed in grief. "I should have thought you were still going on about that, even after I denied you." Sakura said. Naruto held in his down in defeat.
"I want to see if you truly understand my feelings, so I'll give you a test to see if you're worthy." Sakura suggested.
"Oh man, not another practice exam, I'm bad at those." Naruto complained. "No, Naruto it's not that at all." Sakura corrected.
"I'm giving you a test of a tournament held by my seven admirers if you can defeat them proving that you grown strong, then I will acknowledge you for who you are. I will accept you." Sakura offered.
"Seven evil admirers…who are they?" Naruto stood with confusion. A Jap struck Naruto down to the ground. Naruto rose up rubbing his head. In front of him revealed seven admirers of Sakura, six guys and one girl?
"Oh…yeah…those seven evil admirers, the things I do for love." Naruto repeated feeling that he was in for a fight of his life.
