Discalimer: I do not own Naruto...
Never forget the one you love. They will always be with you. Life may end, but love lives on...
"Naruto...your mission is simple...Sasuke needs to be found, and nothing can be more important that this." Tsunade steeples her fingers and nods her head slowly, enunciating each word. Naruto understood, nodding his head as she did. He adjusted his collar and began to walk out of the room, "Naruto! One more thing," he turns, "Do not die." Tsunade adds. Naruto stays silent, stares at the floor, and leaves.
Running down the stairs of the Hokage's building, Naruto thinks about the times he's had with Sasuke Uchiha...the name left a twang of hope in his heart. He was fine. He had to be. Naruto leaves the building, and runs into a flash of pink. "Gah! Sakura?" he jerks away.
The pink haired girl looks hurriedly at the blonde boy and bursts into tears, "Sakura? Sakura? What's wrong?"
"You're dead! They told me you were dead!" she beats her pale fists on his chest.
"Sakura? Calm down, I'm not dead! Who said I was dead?" Naruto smooths the soft pink.
"The Shinobi, you idiot! They were told by-by..."
"By who?"
"Sasuke...he told them you were dead..."
(That's the prologue...)
