Chapter 1: Begginings
Haruno Sakura stood at Konohagakure's main gate, waiting patiently for her good friend and teammate, Uzumaki Naruto, arrive. She glanced down at her watch before nervously looking up at a certain white haired sannin.
"He's two hours late!" She growled, annoyed, though secretly she was quite anxious.
Jiraiya chuckled,"We'll give him three more minutes."
Exactly 2 minutes 59 seconds later an orange blur swept up the path, leaving a large cloud of dust behind it.
"I'm here!" Yelled a somewhat exhausted Naruto, digging his heels in to slow himself down.
Sakura sighed,"About time! I was considering going home without sending you off!"
Naruto just grinned in response, he knew Sakura would never do that. She growled once more, then affectionately slapped him upside the head.
"Better get going, you're already late as it is!" She giggled.
Naruto laughed and turned to Jiraiya,"Well, let's get going!"
As the two ninja stepped through the gate Sakura called out, "Goodbye, Try not to get in anyone's way, Naruto-kun!"
"Gosh Sakura-chan, can't you believe in me for more than thirty seconds?!" Naruto yelled pouting, though it was obviously a fake, as soon another large grin spread across his face. Sakura giggled and smiled before waving once more and heading back towards the heart of the village.
Konohagakure was just waking up, windows opening, goods being set on display, peoples voices beginning to reverberate through the chilly autumn air. Sakura passed a small both then stopped, noticing a small but particularly cute fox plush to the side of one display. She purchased it and went on her way. She would keep it as a gift to give to Naruto when he got back. She and Naruto and become great friends in Sasuke's absence. Training together and their mutual goal of Sasuke's rescue had resulted in a bond that could never be broken.
Sakura almost fell over. She had forgotten her promise to fix breakfast! 'Auggh! Mom's gonna kill me!' she thought, hurrying down the main street headed to her house.
A/N: Yeah, I know it was short. Anywho, please review.
