Why is this so hard?
All I ever wanted to be acknowledged, to have a family, to be Hokage.
It shouldn't be this hard, everything was going right, I was getting stronger, well on my way to becoming Hokage, I was going to show Sasuke how strong I was so he would have to acknowledge me... Sakura was going to acknowledge me...
I think I finally understand her though, I think I finally really get her, she's just like me in a lot of ways, trying to get acknowledgment, worried about being left behind, in love with someone who barely gives her the time of day... I don't even know exactly why I love her, sure she pretty, and smart, and and... I don't' know how to say it, if it can even be put in words but she's precious to me, I mean so is Sasuke and ero-sennin, and Kakashi, and Iruka, and oba-chan, and the village but Sakura is different, and I can't explain I can't explain it but it's still there and I'll still risk my life for her, and I'll bring Sasuke back, cause I promised and I don't go back on my word, and because it's for her and I'll do anything for her.
And Sasuke, I need to bring him back, he doesn't know what he's doing and he's my... my best friend, my comrade, one of those people who's opinion really matters to me, and I'll bring him back and show him just how many people he's important to, that he has a new family now and that if he really wants we'll get Itachi together cause that's how it works with comrades.
So off I go to bring back one precious person to my most precious person, because as long as she's happy, then I'll be happy too, I mean I think I'm much better then Sasuke, but if he's really what she wants....then I'll give him to her, because it's more important to me to have my precious people happy then for me to be happy, I mean that's what life's about right? Protecting those close to you, doing everything you can to insure that they are ok and healthy, that's my new reason for becoming Hokage, to make sure I can look over all of them, so they don't have to be sad, or think they have to leave to find strength, I do it all for them, for her above all others, and I'll continue to do it, I'll become Hokage, I'll show them I have the strength to guard their dreams, and to help them find new ones, and then maybe Sakura will finally notice me for more then just her teammate, she'll finally see me as a precious person------------------------------------------------------ This is the companion fic for my other fic, Her reasons, if you haven't read it go do so , it's shorter simply because Naruto's a bit more simple about his wants and needs, in a good way, I'm really thinking of doing a series following these two called, what else, His and Her reasons, nothing too crazed just a simple story showing how these two get together, what do you guys think?
