I do not own Naruto. Please remember, these are letters so they aren't perfect.

And spaces mean spaces.

Dear Sakura-chan,

Finally! Konoha trusts Teme again! I think it had to do with what you said that day—remember? You called some of your favo rite brats over and they tac kled Teme? They scared their mothers but…eh…it was worth it.

You always said kids had the best judgment.

Anyway, some of your fanboys keep bothering me about your address. PLEASE can I kill t hem? You know, since I had practice with Hinata-chan's ?

Well, I got ta go. I know this was short but I wanted you to know that Konoha really does think Teme is worthy.

He's gratef ul, you know, just won't show it. With the kids, I mean. Seriously, I never thought a bunch of munchkins had that affect.

Future Hokage,
Naruto I Am Awesome Uzumaki


Oi, Forehead!

Guess who ite is? You're favorite blonde beauty~…

Yeah, I'm just filling space here, for the sake of making this longer.

SO bored. You know I blame you, right? I mean if you were here we could've have a girl's night out or something.

-Sigh-

Or you could've helped me with my Shika problem. I mean, helloooo? It takes a mastermind to know what that guy likes and whatever. You always knew how to read body language.

WhatEVER.

Your piggy,
Ino


Five Days Later


Hey Saki,

Tennie here! I wanted to say, "Welcome back!" but sadly was forced
to go on a mission to Mist to take out some asshole.

Neji says to stop cussing—but how can I? I mean, hellooooo as
Ino says—I couldn't welcome you back home!

So this letter with the sulvinor (how the hell do you spell it?) is my gift.

Yours truly,
10-10 (HAHAHAHAHA—not really, but with Sai and Neji
ANYTHING is funny.)


Ugly,

Unfortunately due to some
circumstances I was not able
to meet you like the book "Always
An Emotion, No matter The Shade of Hate"
by Shi Pege says
you should do when
a friend comes back.

So, like TenTen-san says, I am
writing a letter. Please say hello to
Dickless.

One more thing, I am sorry
to write on a napkin but
"Always An Emotion" says you could write
on anything and pass it
off because it's the thought
that counts.

-Sai


A Week Later


Sakura,

I am pleased to say that I have finally the courage to ask out Naruto-kun! I thank you greatly for your help and the boost of confidence! I know I could tell you this in person but I asked Naruto-kun just now—at 8 o'clock because he happened to be here.

I have to get my excitement on paper for now, so I can save this for a rainy day.

Your friend,
Hyuuga Hinata


Sakura-chan!,

I NEED YOUR HELP! WHAT DO YOU WEAR WHEN YOU GO ON A DATE? HHHEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!

NARUTO U.

Ps—Teme says to stop bothering you, but who the hell listens to him?


Next Day


You effin' forehead,

Where the hell are you? I mean, c'mon Saki! Please, please be okay.

Please.

You're stronger than that, right? Whatever whoever throws at you, you can take it! Please.

Pig,
Ino


Sakura-chan.

You're our there. I know it. Somewhere, I don't know where, but you're out there.

Alone.

Baa-chan said it was an ambush, that it was the "new" Akatsuki. If you come back, I swear I will hunt them the fuck down and kill them. Even if you don't, I don't care. I'll get them. But you make me a promise, as I send this letter to an empty house. Promise, me, Sakura-chan, that you'll live long enough for me to get them.

Please.

-Naruto U.


Saki,

TenTen here. Um, I miss you, so I hope you come back.

I know what everyone's saying, Sak. I know they think you're dead.

But you're not. I don't know how, but you aren't. Naruto-that idiot-misses you. He's going out there, to get you back home. So when you come back, you'll know we're here for you.

Always-and forever,
TenTen


Sakura-san,

Naruto said he sent you a letter, despite the empty house.. His insight is powerful, as you once said, so he knows. You're out there Sakura-san, and we all know it.

You're not weak. All of the Akatsuki ambushing you is proof. Please, just be okay. Because if you aren't, then we aren't.

The hospitals don't have their best medic, the Hokage-sama not her only apprentice.

I know you went out for a mission, and were supposed to be back home, but the little delay was nothing to worry about. At least, we thought.

But it was. You didn't come back.

Just so you know, a week before, Naruto-kun and I were going to a ramen stand—his favorite. But when we got there he was all cheer and smile—suddenly, he wasn't. He couldn't—wouldn't—eat and he paled. I thought he was sick, but I think it was when you were captured. So…we're all linked, Sakura. Sakura…I'm going to take out the suffix now…okay? Reply if you don't want to.

Your friend,
Hinata


Ugly,

Get back home.


Sakura.

I'm grateful for you and your plan to get me back into the village. No doubt you've heard from the Dobe. So now that you've done me a favor, I do you one. You have to come back and collect it, so get over to Konoha, because I'm not looking for you.

-Uchiha S.


FOREHEAD,

OMIGAWD! THANK GOD YOU'RE HOME SAFE!

DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED WE WERE? WE ALL—EVEN NEJI AND KIBA AND SHINO AND GAARA AND TEMARI AND KANKURO AND DEF. LEE AND AND AND AND—

So many people were worried. You're at the hospital, but you'll get this letter soon.

Your BFFs,
Ino, Hinata, TenTen


Sakura-chan,

I knew you were okay.

-Naruto


Sakura,

I thank Kami-sama you are fine.

But how were you able to get out? It was said to be impossible to escape. But you did—no doubt adding to the legendary almost-Sannin name, hmm?

But, really. And don't tell me it was because of the Uchiha's letter—it will stay secret, but it makes no sense.
