I'm Going Away
Naruto has finally brought Sasuke back to the leaf village. Naruto sees Sakura and Sasuke on a bridge talking to each other until Naruto walks up to them.
"Hello Sakura. Hello Sasuke," said Naruto.
"Go away Naruto," yelled Sakura.
"Sakura, I did bring Sasuke back like I promised so why the hostility?" ask Naruto then Naruto approached Sakura then Sakura punches him.
"I SAID GO AWAY YOU PEST," yelled Sakura then Naruto just runs away and then Sakura feels bad what she had done to Naruto.
The next day, Sakura went to Naruto's apartment to apologize to him and tell Naruto that she loves him.
Sakura knocks on the door but no answer. Sakura finds the key under the doormat and enters inside and the rooms have been emptied and there's a note on the table.
"Dear Village, I'm leaving. I'm done being the hated of the village and not because my behavior and they hated me because what's inside of me and I'm sick of that life. I'm going somewhere that they do not judge what I am, but what I can do," said Sakura reading Naruto's letter then she heads for Tsunade's office and reported Naruto is missing.
"This is all my fault, Naruto has just finished the recent Chunin exam and yesterday he overheard us that we wouldn't pass him because we believe that more and more harder missions would make the Kyubi more dangerous for him," said Tsunade.
"Naruto was getting sick of people judging him something that he's really isn't. Naruto's is a good kid with a lot of unnecessary problems, we need to find him," said Sakura.
"I'm getting a team ready to find him and many people of this village will apologize to Naruto. I will make sure of that," said Tsunade.
Then Sakura joins the hunt for Naruto but no success.
-20 years later-
Many of the Chunins like Sakura has become Jonins. They never found Naruto and called the search off. Every Chunins who is now Jonins are married except for Sakura and Hinata who are still devoted for Naruto and secretly they both use their three students to find him when they go on missions.
Sakura takes her three students, Tenki, Sara, and Ha gets sent on a mission to a gambling village.
"Why are we here?" ask Tenki.
"We suppose to find a man named Chie Teroritsuto. He has a necklace that has amazing power. It has been reported he gambling at the poker hut," said Sakura.
"That hut is for people that is 21 or over. The three of us are twelve years old," said Sara.
"Just surround the building incase Chie escape while I confront him," said Sakura then Sakura enters the poker hut where the gambling is nothing but poker.
He sees Chie playing poker at one of the tables with a few people and one of the other players is Naruto. Sakura couldn't believe its Naruto so Sakura hides from the distance.
Naruto, Chie, and the other players are playing Texas Hold'em and the five cards on the table, ace of spades, a ace of clubs, three of hearts, ten of spades, and king of hearts.
"Your turn Mr. Uzumaki," said the dealer.
"Check," said Naruto and everyone checks except for Chie who goes all in including his necklace for asking more money.
"That necklace will cost $500,000," said Chie.
"You know, if you lose you will lose that necklace," said the dealer.
"With my hand, I can't lose," said Chie.
"All right, then it's $750,000 to call," said the dealer then everyone folds except for Naruto who calls his $750,000.
"All right, show me gentlemen," said the dealer and Chie has an Ace of diamonds and a ten of spades, which is a full house then Naruto has an Ace of heart and king of clubs, which is a higher full house.
"Higher full house, Mr. Uzumaki wins," said the dealer then Naruto takes the money and the necklace and goes to the cashier to cash in the money and heads for the bar for a drink. Sakura is sitting at the bar and turned away from Naruto.
"Naruto, what is he doing here. Should I turn around and confront him or should I follow him and see where he's been living at," said Sakura thinking to herself.
Then Naruto hands Sakura $5,000 of chips over to Sakura.
"It's been a long time Sakura," said Naruto then Sakura turns around to see Naruto's face but Naruto's gone.
"Naruto, where did you go?" ask Sakura.
Back at the leaf village, Sakura has to report that they didn't get the necklace.
"What happened to the necklace?" ask Tsunade.
"Naruto took it," said Sakura.
"You mean you saw Naruto?" ask Tsunade.
"Yes, he won the necklace on a game of poker," said Sakura.
"I didn't know Naruto was good at poker," said Tsunade.
"I didn't know too until Naruto beat Chie with a full house," said Sakura.
"Look, it has been 20 years since Naruto abandon the village and I know you love Naruto than Sasuke, but it's time to move on. And if you find Naruto, he might be a married man and a devoted father and then what? I know Sasuke now married to Ino and I know there someone out there for you," said Tsunade Sakura left Tsunade's office, and Sakura went to the old ramen shop, and it looks like the ramen shop closed up then Sakura went to Hinata and told her she saw Naruto but failed to bring him back. The two decided to go back to the village where Sakura saw Naruto last and hope they can find Naruto.
