He was walking into his home village as he just finished a mission. His first thing that popped into his head was, {I am going to get some Ramen and check up on Sakura} when all of a sudden He heard someone call his Name.

"Hey Naruto-Kun we are heading to Tsunade-Samas Office to give her an update, are you coming with us?" Said a guys Voice that had a little tone in it that made it seem like he was the Lazy Type.

Naruto Turned around and looked at the guy that asked him that question, as Naruto Spoke up with a cheerful tone like always. "Nah Shikamaru, I am going to get some ramen then head up to check up on Sakura. I bet she missed me so much." His tone sounded still the same like the day he promised Sakura that he would save Sasuke.

Shikamaru let out a small sigh as he turned to walk away as he took a few steps then came to a stop as he spoke up, "Naruto I still want to say sorry for not being able to stop Sasuke from leaving. Neji, Choji, and myself failed to help you fulfill the promise you made to Sakura." Shikamaru said as Neji and Choji Stood next to Him and Looked away as it brought back the past.

Neji Spoke up in a ashamed tone , "i am Sorry for not being more use to you back then. We are training so hard so if we get a chance to bring him back we will be stronger and more reliable." Neji Said with disappointment at himself.

Naruto Stood there as the memory of Sasuke and Himself were in the final valley. Naruto was fighting desperately to Bring Sasuke back. That was the day that Sasuke Acknowledged that naruto was Special. Naruto Stood there in front of the others fighting back tears.

Shikamaru took a few steps as Naruto spoke up again, "you guys better go to Tsunade-Sama. She still needs to be updated. Might just go home for the night and tomorrow I am going to train some more." Naruto Said as he turned around and smiled at Neji, Choji, and Shikamaru. They All Knew that he was hiding his feelings so no one would worry.

Naruto Started Walking towards Ichiraku Ramen Shop, as Choji Spoke up, "Naruto Tried his hardest and so did all of we but it wasn't enough. Not that day when we fought the sound four. I gave it my all against Jirobo." Choji Said as he punched the ground in anger.

Neji looked at Choji as he remembers when he fought Kidomaru, "I fought so hard against Kidomaru but I wasn't strong enough to take him down. We could have died that day but we had something that kept us fighting. But it still wasn't enough and Naruto is the one that is suffering.

The three of them went walking towards Tsunade-Samas Office as they were all silent thinking about that day that they formed that Squad. In order to save Sasuke cause he was a leaf Ninja and they knew that naruto cared for him like a brother. They trained so hard after that day but they don't know if it was enough. They got to Tsunade-Samas Office. They stood there as they wondered what it would be like if Sasuke was still in the village.

Meanwhile Naruto was in front of Ichiraku as he stood there in thought, {I failed that day. I wasn't Strong enough. I saw him as a brother but I guess he just saw me as an obstacle….}Naruto was interrupted as he heard a Familiar Voice from behind him. He turned around and Saw Kakashi Stood there With Sakura.

Kakashi looked at naruto as he waited to speak up. After a few seconds Kakashi spoke up, "Hey naruto I heard that your Mission was a success. Congratulations on a job well done Naruto." Kakashi smiled at him as Sakura Smiled as well.

"Thanks Kakashi-Sensei I really tried my best. It was a hard mission and I thought I wasn't going to finish it. But I guess in the end my reason to live just helped me fight."

Sakura finally spoke up as she smiled. "Was Your reason oh i don't know, to be Hokage." Sakura Giggled a little

Naruto looked down as he spoke up with a upset tone, "No the reason I have to live is to fulfill the promise I made you about bringing Sasuke back." Naruto said as he noticed Sakura had a tear in her face. He walked up to her and gently wiped it away as he stood there smiling at her. She knew that his smile was one of the few things that was able to cheer her up.

Kakashi Smiled at His 2 students as they walked into Ichiraku. Naruto sat in between Sakura and Kakahi as the owner, Teuchi looked at them and smiled. "Hey There you three it has been some time since you came here for some of my Ramen." Teuchi Said while Naruto Smelled the Air with the scent of the Ramen he hadn't tasted in so long.

Teuchi made three bowls of ramen then gently placed some meat on top of it. He turned around and placed the bowls in front of the three ninjas as he let out a small laugh. "This is on the House. I mean i heard Naruto has been on a mission for some time now, so i thought it might do him good for a free meal of his favorite ramen." Teuchi handed then some Chop Sticks.

Naruto took his chop sticks and broke them apart and put them into his ramen. He took some of his ramen on his chop sticks and placed it to his mouth. He blew on it for a few seconds then after that placed it in his mouth. After a few seconds of the Ramen Sitting in his mouth, the flavor was so satisfying that it made him forget the past temporary. He Swallowed the mouth watering ramen and as it slid down his throat, he couldn't wait to take another bite from his hot bowl of ramen.

After about a few minutes they all finished their ramen. Sakura looked at naruto as he he stood up and slowly turned around and walked outside. Kakashi got up and followed Naruto outside. "So you want to go train Naruto?" Kakashi said with s light cherrful tone.

Naruto Looked away and sighed, "Nah Kakashi-Sensai, i am going for a walk to get some thinking in. i will catch up with you Later." Naruto said as he slowly walked away. Sakura just walked out of the ramen shop as she noticed that naruto was gone. She looked at kakashi as she looked away and knew that naruto was going through a tough time.

Naruto was walking till he stopped at a place that brought back so much memories. He stood there at the training grounds were Kakashi made them try to take the bells. He remembered he was tied to the three and Sasuke offered him his lunch and they from there on became Squad 7. And Naruto also remebered his fist A rank Mission. He also saved Kakashi with Sasuke's Teamwork and Sauske didn't even Know it. That shock on his face made naruto smile a little bit. He leaned against the same stump that he was placed on as a gennin.

Meanwhile: Kakashi and Sakura were walking away from The ramen shop when Shizune appeared. "Hello Kakashi-san and Kakura-chan. Tsunade-Sama is reauesting your presnece. it is important." She said in such a serious tone. Kakashi and sakura both said at the same time, "right." Shizune turned around and ran off and Kakshi and sakura ran right behind her. in a few minutes they were in Tsunade-Sama's Office room.

Tsunade Stood there looking out the window when the three ninjas came into the Room. Tsunade Turned around and looked at saura then at Kakshi before she spoke up. "we have confirmed the were abouts of Uchiha Sasuke." Her voice had no feeling to it when she annouced the News. Sakura gasped when she heard sasuke's name.

Kakashi spoke up finally, "and what does that have to do with us?" Kakashi's tone was serious as Sakura looked kakashi with aconfused look as Tsunade let out a small sigh.

Tsunade lookesd at them as she choose her words carefully. "I want you to follow the trail of Sasuke and gathering all the info on him as you can. but you can't interfere with him or talk to him." Her voice sounded harsh as sakura spoke up without thinking, "What are you thinking Tsunade-sensai? We should try to get him back.... " Sakura said as Kakashi Interrupted her, "What about Naruto? SHoudln't he come as well." He said worrying about what Naruto would do if he foudn out about this mission.
