AN: NARUSAKU is LOVE.
I don't own these guys.
The strongest individual she'd ever known.
He stood outside the hokage tower, leaning casually over the railing.
Observing the world from his new office, she guessed.
She'd never imagined someone could look so brilliant.
Broad shoulders seemed proud while gold hair danced in the early morning breeze.
Not since Sasuke's death had she felt such a surge of emotion.
Only this time, it was a good thing.
Naruto had known all along that she stood there.
Hesitant, but content to watch him in his glory.
He was her Hokage, her best friend, her lover.
The reason she was alive today.
'Sakura-chan' He said, without turning.
She stepped forward, moving to stand by his side.
He looked down at her, his smile brighter than ever.
'They'd be proud.' He nearly whispered while glancing to the west, looking at his Konoha.
'They are proud.' She replied, placing her small hand over his own.
And they had to be, she told herself. Jiraiya, Sasuke, his parents. He'd made them all unbelievably proud, she was certain.
Blue eyes gleamed with delight.
'It was all worth it, then?' Sakura could here the raised eyebrow in his voice without looking up.
Silence envelopped them for a moment. She took the opportunity to watch the sun rise while she pondered his previous statement.
She then turned her body to embrass him. It was unexpected on her part, but she immediately felt his heart beat quicken at her touch. He wrapped his arms around her without hesitation.
The silence between them still remained and so, she stood on the tip of her toes and leaned to whisper in his ear.
'Most definitely, Hokage-sama.'
If possible, his smile grew more pronounced.
