This story takes place after the Naruto:Last Movie and before Boruto series.

Sakura was in the woods, sitting down on a marble bench, looking at the sunset. The water was flowing back and forth making a peaceful gesture.
Sakura touched her forehead thinking about Sasuke. "I wonder how long he will be gone", she said sadly.

Then all of the sudden, she heard someone say her name "Sakura."

Sakura jumped out of astonishment and saw the tall,blonde hair man she had known for many years.

"Naruto! DON"T DO THAT," she yells.

Naruto was standing behind her with a fearful look on his face thinking Sakura was going to slug him. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be heading over to Hinata's place?" Sakura asked annoyingly.

Naruto was a little off guard. "Huh?"

"I heard you were going to talk to her Dad," Sakura explained.

"Oh yeah," said Naruto looking a little down, like he was unsure about something.

"What is it, are you okay?" Sakura asked out of genuine concern.

Naruto sat next to her and then lifted up his eyes seeing the beautiful orange color of the sun spreading across the sea. The sea gently flowing against the rocks as if they were holding one another.

"Sakura...," Naruto said softly. "Did you...love me?"

Sakura was completely astonished. She thought they were passed this point.
Sakura, folding her arms, firmly said, "I thought we had this conversation."

Naruto responded calmly, "You said you loved me, remember, before you went after Sasuke..."(Sakura Confessions episode)

Sakura frowned. She didn't know why after all this time he was bringing this up. She looked at him sharply and thought, 'what is he up to'.

Sakura said without a doubt, "I love Sasuke."
Naruto said without a doubt, "I know."
Sakura becoming more confused,"Then why..."
Naruto cutting her off, "But did you have feelings for me?" he repeated.

Naruto said with a serious, dominating tone, "You were lying when you said you didn't love Sasuke anymore your tears showed me that..."

"Naruto...," Sakura whispered guiltily.

"But I truly didn't know how you felt...about me...," whispered Naruto his words trailing off into the sound of the sea. Sakura looking at Naruto felt she was starting to get upset. Stop asking me this, she thought. "It doesn't matter anymore," she said accidentally in extension of her thought.

Sakura wishing to explain her words and to be clearer, "You and Hinata, me and Sasuke, this is how it is, and we are happy aren't we?" she asked rhetorically.

Naruto didn't wish for her to hide anymore, "I just need to know," he said flatly.
Sakura started, "But why..."
Naruto calmly replied, "Because I did love you, Sakura."
