A/N: Just a bunch a short drabbles based directly after the end of my other short NaruSaku piece "Morning, Noon, and Night". Similar kind of theme - time - though in this case, each chapter represents a minute of the day (hence the title). Enjoy...

WITH NARUTO
He could still taste her. It wasn't any flavor he could remember, but now he'd never forget hers. His lips still burned from their intense kiss. Though it felt like the numbness had worn off, Naruto still felt a little out of it. She had actually kissed him. He had actually kissed her. He couldn't help smacking himself across the face a few times. Only in his dreams did something like that happen; no one would hold a bit of disbelieve against him. When the pain subsided, Naruto couldn't hold it in any longer.
"I really kissed Sakura-chan," the blonde mumbled, a smile creeping back across his face. "I kissed Sakura-chan!"
Oblivious to the stares of several shinobi passing by, the young Jounin proudly strutted down the streets of the village as he headed back to his apartment. Then realization set in.
"That was my first kiss…" Naruto said slowly, his whiskered cheeks growing red.
Suddenly embarrassed, the usually loud and confident Uzumaki Naruto quickly and quietly dashed home. Not two feet away, a visibly stunned Yamanaka Ino braced herself against the side of a nearby building.
"They kissed?!" she exclaimed, her voice echoing down through the street.
