Hi There! This is my first fanfic! so please be nice! um... i don't own Naruto.. obviously.. so read and review please... ok on with the story


*Sakura POV*

" 5 years, that's it, and i mean it Sakura." Shishou told me in a stern commanding voice. I had to leave, to get stronger, so nobody would look down on me anymore. Espically HIM. He just left on his mission, and told me that he didn't want me to come. According to Naruto, I'm not fit to do this hard of a mission. I could understand if it was a hard mission, but this one mission, it was only an A-rank. Which i can do with my eyes closed. But that stupid, good for nothing, jacka-

"SAKURA" shishou's yelling brought me out of my thoughts.

"hai Tsunade-sama" i replied in a sad voice.

"Are you even listening to me? I said if you delay the deadline to any extent you shall be viewed as a missing ninja." yea, what ever it didn't matter to me. Naruto would probably be happy, he wouldn't have to deal with a weak person ever again.

" hai i understand." oh no, she's giving me the look again. You know the look when it feels like someone can read into your thoughts? yea, well she was great at it.

" Understanding is one thing, Sakura, But following orders is another. Can i trust you? It would break my heart to list you as a missing inn and i know it would break Nar-" I interrupted her.

"yes Tsunade-shishou I understand. If there is nothing else i will be on my way now. " I can't stand to hear that name anymore.

"Hurry and come home Sakura, were all going to miss you, that is all dismissed." I didn't even bother using the door, I nodded to her before i disappeared in a shower of sakura blossoms. I reappeared in my living room quickly only to grab my pack and lock the door. I heard Ino coming down the street, but I couldn't face her. If I even tried to say goodbye, I know for sure that I'll never leave. Speeding up I jumped from roof to roof, reaching the front gate in a matter of minutes. Not even bothering to stop i just plowed right through into the woods. Jumping from tree to tree, I remember all the good times. Like when we got Tsunade-sama drunk, so she would let us into the bar for new year's. Ugh, everybody had a hangover after that. I had a connection with all of my comrades. Ino was my best friend. Hinata and I would always go out to lunch together. Shikamaru and I would always play shogi, and the faces he would make the times i beat him. Chouji and I would often discuss different foods. Shino would teach me about different kinds of butterflies. Kiba and I would go for walks every morning. Sometimes Neji and I would spar, but only if he was in the mood. TenTen would teach me how to use my sword. But i wouldn't see their faces in five years.

I had stopped running and landed on the ground by the time i thought of Naruto. Why him of all people, I never thought that he would say something like that. He knows how hard those words are on me.


*Flashback*

"Hey Naruto, where are you going, i thought we were going to have some ramen tonight?" I asked slightly curious. He gave me a cold stare.

"Team 7 has an A-rank mission in a few hours." he stated in a monotone voice. Mission, since when did we have a mission? Oh well, i guess i should go and start packing.

"Oh then I should go pack." I stated walking to the door.

"Not you" He said quick

"What do yo-"

"You aren't going on this mission."

"And why the hell not?" I asked slightly irked.

"Because you are too weak." he stated as if it was a simple statement

"Now you look here mister, you may be in a bad mood, but you know taking it out on me is not the way to go. You out of all people know that I am not weak at all. So don't you tell me that i am not going on this mission. I am a part of Team 7 and I am going to help you." He's not saying anything… did I go too far?

"Sakura" what no chan? Did i make him that mad?

"You're annoying, just leave me alone."


*End Flashback*

"I'm not weak, I'm not weak, I can do it, I can." Who the hell am i kidding? I can't do anything. Not without him. Where is he, he's suppose to be here telling me i can do anything, and that he believes in his precious Sakura-Chan. Naruto, where are you?

" Miss, why are you crying?"
