NOTE TO READER: This story takes time before it gets to the romance as the title suggests it is a built up so background informarion and story is required to make sense of the situation. I prefer this type of stories over the ones that shoot you into an unknown situation with barely any background. Anyway this is my first ever fanfiction story and I hope you will enjoy I will post a chapter once it is finished which may take anything between a day up to a you enjoy the read and can't wait to hear what you guys think about it. Remember the more criticism I receive the harder I will try ;). Chapters are short around 1,000 words each making it easier to read rather than having large chunks of text making it hard to follow on your devices. Enjoy :D

Chapter One: The War Ended

It was seconds after the war. Uchiha Madara was defeated by the ever so famous Uzumaki Naruto. Everyone saw as Madara's soul left their world. You could hear cheering and see tears of joy on peoples faces. Every ninja and samurai seemed so carefree and happy that the war has come to an end. People started embracing each other as if all in unity. They all became comrades of war. Their nationality, village or past did not play a role anymore. One could say that the world was unified and peace was finally achieved. Everyone cheered except for Narutos friends. He was no where to be found. The hero that just saved the world minutes ago couldn't be found. He was easily forgotten by the majority due to the relief they felt from there no more being a reason to fight.

Suddenly screaming was heard. Sakura recognised the voice to belong to Sasuke. He was yelling for help. Sakura walked up one of the crater walls created by the fierce battle. She saw Sasuke holding Naruto and leaning his head on his lap. He was trying to hold back from tears as Naruto was slowly drifting away from this world. Sakura seeing this called to the rest of the friends looking for Naruto: 'He is here! Quick! We might lose him!' At that everyone hurried towards the two severely injured boys.

Sakura was first on the site and she quickly started healing... Sasuke.

He looked at her with anger in his eyes: 'What are you doing?! He is dying!'

Sakura only then really realised what she has done. She was automatically healing Sasuke the love of her life, as her friend and saviour of the world was dying right beside them. Sakura froze looking blindly at her hands.

Sasuke seeing this punched her in the face: 'Wake up we can't lose him!'

Sakura was woken up with that and immediately started healing Naruto. She wasn't surprised that Sasuke treated her this way. She actually agreed that she deserved it. At that moment people could be seen behind her running towards them.

Tsunade, Shizune and the remaining rookie 9 as well as Gais' team have arrived at the scene. Tsunade and Shizune without any words started healing Naruto as well. The rest of the group that has gathered were looking with anticipation, all hoping that their friend and hero would survive. Sasuke was just sitting there with Narutos' head on his lap and started crying. He was crying for his best friend; his brother and a person that always believed in him. His tears were tears of relief more than that ofgrief, as help has finally arrived. At that moment Kakashi and Gai arrived. Both had a look of concern and hope for Naruto's survival. Kakashi at that moment knelt between Sakura and Shizune. He looked at Narutos' face which had a big, wide smile on it. With that he did one of his one eyed smiles. He thought to himself: He is truly the child of prophecy.

At that moment Gai asked: 'Is he going to make it?'

Only Shizune looked at him with a worried look while Tsunade and Sakura both concentrated fully on healing him.

Then a voice said: 'It will be all right Bushy-brow sensei'.

Everyone was surprised to hear Naruto speak. Tsunade and Lee started to cry from joy. Naruto looked at Gai with his arm extended towards him and thumb pointing upwards. He had an awkward smile on.

Lee seeing the gesture said: 'Naruto-kun you truly have the greatest power of youth!' At that everyone laughed including Naruto.

Naruto then sighed: 'Thank you, Bushy-brow. But right now I think I will take a nap'. At that moment Naruto closed his eyes and slowly lost consciousness. With that everyone smiled.

Tsunade explained: 'Right now we need to take him to the hospital. No need to worry anymore his life is not in danger'.

Everyone sighed with relief while Ino looked at Naruto and said: 'I could really fall for him.'

This time neither Shikamaru nor Chouji were surprised. They could not disagree with the fact that girls would love the hero that saved the world. At that moment Sakura started healing Sasuke. Sasuke smiled at her with relief as if a weight was relieved from his heart. She smiled back a worrisome smile still scared of her previous behaviour. Kakashi and Gai carried Naruto to the hospital on a stretcher followed by Tsunade and Shizune. Sakura then wanted to take Sasuke also but needed help carrying him. Ino was the one who stepped up for the job. No one else wanted anything to do with Sasuke.

That sums up the chapter. Hope you enjoyed it, please comment below and hope you will follow what will happen next :P
