Hey this is my first fanfic this contains spoliers from the manga and some Narusakura (not that I chose NaruSakura over NaruHinata it was just more appropriate)

Thankyou for reading

"Absolutely not!" Tsunade raged as Naruto had told he of his plans to search for Sasuke.

"Listen, old hag the Konaha just found out information on Uchiha Sasuke, his location has been confirmed and 'Hawk' is unable to move. This is a rare opportunity! I'm going!" Naruto walked to the door and placed his hand on the knob ready to leave when Tsunade's voice stopped him.

"Uzumaki Naruto if you walk out that door, then, then"

"You'll what" Naruto challenged her unfinished threat.

"Then you'll be classified as a missing ninja" she shouted. Naruto paused; Tsunade thought she had won. But the moment passed and Naruto turned the door knob and opened the door.

"Sorry" was the single word Naruto said as he left the anger filled office.

Naruto passed Sakura walking down the hallway.

"Oh hey Naruto wha-" Naruto just walked right by Sakura. She was angered at first and considered following him but she had to see Tsunade, and any way that's the direction Naruto came in.

Sakura entered the Hokage's office. "Tsunade-sama what's wrong with Naruto"

"He's leaving the village"

"Huh? A mission?" Sakura asked.

"No, Uzumaki Naruto is no longer a Konaha shinobi, he is a missing-nin as soon as he walks out of the Konaha gates." A look of shock hit Sakura's face, she turned and ran out the door after her leaving comrade.

She caught up with him in the street, he was on his way to his apartment.

"Naruto where are you going!" Sakura cried out running up beside him.

"To pack" He didn't even look at her he just continued walking.

Sakura grabbed Naruto by the shoulders looking him in the eye. "Are you a complete idiot. You know what will happen if you leave don't you? What, what could make you abandon your entire village" tears lingered in Sakuras eyes.

"My promise" With that Naruto made a single hand sing and disappeared.

"A shadow clone?" Sakura fell on her knees crying in the middle of the street.
