20 Years later after the final showdown with Toneri Ōtsutsuki, Naruto and hinata lived a happy life, sakura remembered when she realize sasuke wasn't the one that was meant for her, it was naruto all along but she was too late. She could see the way naruto started looking at hinata and the way he would get protective of her, she knew if anything hinata would give him the happiness she never gave him, that's why she confronted her that day and sadly let her know that she wants naruto to be with her. earning a blush from hinata, after her little talk she turn around to see naruto smiling at her, but she knew it was more than that she could tell by looking at his eyes that he was hurt by what she just said.
Sighing sakura continue to clean her house, not once did she thought about sasuke, she didn't hate him she was thankful that she gets to keep salad to herself because she was the best thing that happened to her. she remember telling sasuke about her being pregnant at first he was happy but when he found out that it was a girl he was upset. Ever since that day she never saw him again.
"Mom" her daughter said to her
"What is it salad?" she says
"Why are boys such idiot?" she says huffing by that time her hair has grown a little longer, she was still short for her age but was stronger than most of the girls.
"Let me guess. Its bolt again" she says while smiling to her daughter making her blush
"Yes… He prank our sensei and got us in trouble for helping him." she says making sakura chuckle, ~he reminds me of a mini-naruto~ she thought going back into memory lane. Salad look at her mom expression and sighs ~she's doing it again~ she thought
"Mom" she says getting sakura attention
"Do you by any chance like the hokage?" she asks innocently earning a blush from sakura "yes he was my dear friend."
"If he was you should go and talk to him, because you look lonely" she says making sakura smile she knew salad was smart but she's to smart for her age. Sakura puts her hand on her daughter's shoulder and said "The hokage and I have been very busy we have no time to see one another sweetie, so just let it go." she says gently
"But mom his your friend, I don't like to see you sad all the time." she says quietly
"I'm fine honey, now go take a bath and come eat." she says walking away to make dinner.
Elsewhere in another dimension, a young girl with blonde hair and greenish/blue eyes was walking through the damaged streets. She couldn't believe something like this happened, the streets were filled with dead bodies, the sky was no longer blue it was red, and most of her close friends died. She watched what was left of her old school crumble to the floor and the Hokage Mountain crumbling.
The eclipse has made a lot of ninjas lose their powers, somehow her and her families with other friends were able to keep their powers. The ones without powers decided to live underground, where the enemy won't find them.
"Henko are you there?" the voice said through the radio
"I'm here sir" she says
"Are you crazy henko why would you come to the surface without backup? Don't you know how dangerous it is" he yelled
"I know, But I'm tired of hiding I can't keep letting innocent people die sir." she says clutching her hand
"Who ever this person is... is powerful than you henko so please return to base." he says softly. Henko was about to give in and walk back, when her eyes caught something that surprise her, their lying in front of her was a beautiful demon dog, so big it could crush her. But what amazed her more was the transformation, she was scared at first but his eyes were so alluring that she was hypnotize by it, The demon look at the eclipse and scream with sorrow his long reddish hair covering every part of his being.
"What was that henko?" the voice said
"Henko...Henko are you there...answer me" he says worried
"I'm here sir" she says in daze, she block what ever her friend was saying and walk towards the demon, she was about to touch him when he growl at her.
" I wont hurt you." she says looking at his golden eyes, the demon continue to growl not trusting her, he extend his claws to hurt her when she remove her weapons to show that she won't hurt him " your injured" she says making him look at his left hand that was bleeding " please.. Let me help" she said
The demon look at his arm and her eyes he could feel it she was sinister about helping him, sighing he sat down under what was left of the cherry tree and she smiles happily that she could help someone. While healing him with her chakra she could see a mark on his neck, and it was the fire village symbol. She wonders if he was from the fire village, when she was done healing him she back away to give him space.
"thank you" he says bowing before walking away, but before he move another step she stopped him " wait!" she says making him turn around
"Where are you going?" she says making him raise an eyebrow
"What I mean by that is… its dangerous here you should come with me." she says blushing a little
"No" he says plainly making her sad "your people hate demons like me." he says
"that's not true, our hokage had a demon inside of him and he was loved amongst us all.' she says trying to convince him
"But your hokage was not born as a demon, he was just a man who had a demon in him" he says plainly "you humans treat us like dirt, they don't care about our feelings, they only want one thing…power" he says before leaving
Henko stood there for a while thinking about what he just said, she knew he was right but at the same time wrong. Some of us think differently towards demons like the nine tail fox and his friends we all honor them for help fighting in the great ninja war. "Henko return now, the enemies are approaching." he says
"I already know sir, but I won't coward away I will fight them." she says cracking her fist, she made clones of herself and create the rasengan, she close her eyes to use her senses to find where they will be attacking, when she found it she ran as fast as she could and attack the first guy with her punch making him fall backwards with a broken face. The next one attack her while she wasn't looking but she dodged his move sensing his chakra coming towards her. She spins her whole body like she was break dancing and side kick him cracking his bones then sends him flying, she was about to walk to the other one to get information when she was hit in the head making her fall back and hit the ground, her other clones attack the man with rasengan but he reflect it which surprise henko ~ no one has ever reflect the rasengan or be able to touch it… who is he?~ she thought while looking at the man with brown hair, and a black cloak. He smiles at her and said "you will be a nice collection for my powers, I can sense
an even greater power coming from you." he says about to touch her when the demon boy appeared and use chidori, sending the man flying backwards, the demon boy now in full clothes stand in front of henko protectively with a jonin headband on his forehead.
the man look at the boy while smirking "so you're a high level jounin, no wonder I didn't sense your chakra." he says before getting up he was about to attack the boy when another man appear through whirlpool and talk to him, angry he glares at the boy and the girl and says "we will continue this later" he said before leaving
Henko was surprise; all the chidori users have died so how did this boy manage to know the technique she thought. The demon looks at her and then help her up he could tell she was confuse and he did not want to explain it to her. Once she was up he was about to let go of her hand when she held on to it "thank you for saving me" she said blushing a little
The demon ignored her and walks away; this time henko did not stop him, but instead followed him secretly. She kept following him until he stops and disappeared, confuse she scan the area for him, when she couldn't find him she turn around to leave when she saw him in front of her, very close to her face glaring at her. "Why are you following me?" he says making her step back a little
"I wasn't "she said thinking of an excuse
"Yes you were, stop following Me." he says poking her forehead, she puff her cheeks and stuttered "I...I was just worried... That's all" she said surprising him, he sighs and sat down ~I can never understand females~ he thought while looking at her, he quickly look away when she look at him.
ELSEWHERE in the past, sakura woke up to start her day, she went to inos' shop and brought flowers then she went to her parents' grave to talk to them. When she reached there she broke down and cries. She didn't know why but she just felt alone, the tears fell on her face falling on her hand, she placed the flowers down and remember the good things that happened to her life "how did this happen to me?" she said to no one
"I should be the happiest girl in the world, but why am I not happy? Why do I feel so alone mom...why?" she said covering her face with her hands
"You probably think I'm pathetic…right...all those years I thought naruto was the dense one but he wasn't." she said while hiccupping
"It was me, I should have realize how much naruto meant to me than. all the time I was worried about his safety, when ever he was ready to lose hope I was always there to cheer him on, when I thought he almost died I almost died inside, and all the wonderful moments together." she said laying beside the grave.
"Now…Now its over I can only watch from afar while he lives his life with hinata. If I'd known how much you meant to me back then I would have told you in a heartbeat, heck I bet everyone knew except me.. Even obito knew when he asked me that question I was just too afraid to accept it." she said letting the tears fall one last time before getting up and stretch. She smiles to herself while looking up at the sky "I guess I can finally admit it now, that I love naruto." she says feeling free at last for hiding it for so long
"thank you mom and dad for listening to me, one day I wont be afraid to say it to the man I'm destine to be with." she was about to leave when she forgot one last detail "oh yeah I forgot to mention that I'm going back to work as a medic, being a house mom is so boring, sometimes I wonder how you handle it mom." she said before walking away
She went to the grocery store to buy food when she saw hinata and her daughter. ~ever since that day I gave her permission I never attend their wedding or see how their child might look like, instead I ignored them, even naruto don't visit me anymore because of his hokage duty~ she thought sadly but quickly cheered up when she saw hinata heading towards her direction. She quickly hides herself and watch as they walk by towards the exit smiling and talking to one another.
Sighing she was about to leave when ino appeared behind her "how long will you keep avoiding them sakura?" she said making her jump
"I don't know what you mean ino" she stutter, ino rolled her eyes and puts her hand on her waist "sakura I've known you since we were little, you can't hide it from me. You like naruto and you wished it was you and him instead of hinata." she said point blank
Sakura sadly looks down ashamed ~ ino is right even though I said I'll move on every time I see them I can't help but wish it was me. I feel so sick right now~ she thought, lno seeing sakura sad face tried to cheer her up by hugging her and letting her know she's here for her " now that you're coming back to the hospital it should make you more busy and less focus on what you could have had if you weren't so stubborn." she said honestly
Sakura was glad she had a friend like ino that will tell her the truth instead of giving her false hope; her main focus should be saving people life and salad. With confidence she paid her groceries and walk outside heading to tsunade office, while walking she thought she saw naruto up on the hokage mountain watching over the village.
Blushing she quickly head towards the building not paying attention to where she was heading hitting a hard wall. She massages her nose and look up surprise to see naruto looking at her with his goofy smile and his hands on her shoulders. "Are you ok sakura?" he asks concerned making her mind and body shut down.
