I'll Always Come Back For You

A/N: Quick one inspired by my fave song and of course the amazing artworks of MuseSilver, to be found art: http://musesilver(dot)deviantart(dot)com/art/NaruSaku-Return-to-you-94772780

You could say that it was one of those things that Naruto had been waiting his whole life for. To finally slip on that Hokage robe and stare down at his Village, Konohagakure and be their proud leader. To look a look a little further around behind him was Hokage Mountain where his face was carved into stone as a testament of his leadership. Yes, it was right up there next to Baa-chan's. Absolutely solid proof of what he had done.

He, Naruto Uzumaki had achieved his life's ambition. Both of them in fact. He had the job and the girl. The girl; oh what a girl she was.

So many years he had spent chasing after Haruno Sakura and so many fun times. He could just so easily remember how he had tried to compete for her attention with Uchiha Sasuke. These days he just shook his head at the childish antics. If only he had known back then that playing hard to get was the way to grab her attention, would have saved him a lot of effort. When he finally did get around to the stage of going out with Sakura. It was both dangerous to his mental and physical well being. But he had survived the worst of it and now he was finally enjoying the fruits of his effort. It was going on five years since they had begun dating and he liked to think that they were nearly the final stage of their relationship. The stage that would mean absolute completion of his goal: marriage.

Then again that could just be his imagination. Lately things had not been going to well for Sakura of him.

As he was Hokage it was natural for him to be called away to do his duties. But it was the little things that got to his Sakura-chan. Thing that were his fault that then ended up interrupting what precious little time he did have to spend with her. If he dared to recall, just yesterday he had a slight paper-work mishap; as he accidently sent an Icha Icha draft again as a mistaken peace treaty. But unlike last time the particular country didn't have an appreciation for Hentai works. Therefore leading to him having to go and personally retrieve it. That had really served to land himself in Sakura's bad books. What also failed to help the cause none, was the scouting missions he had committed himself to doing once every month. Trying to find any missing-nin survivors of the Akatsuki. And again on top of that was his status as an active member of ANBU.

All of it put a detrimental strain on their relationship. It put a strain on him: trying to allow the two most important things in his life to cross-sect.

Naruto also knew the chance that Sakura wouldn't be willing to put up with it much longer. Which now is why as he heads out the door to another mission she shouts out from their bed where she lies wrapped up in sheets, where he longs to still be.

"I mean it this time Naruto. This time you have to mean it to."

Naruto turns his head slightly, before doing a full 180 and walking back to the bed so that he stands directly over her.

"I know. I know," he whispers, before leaning down and placing a kiss on her forehead. Whispering to her intent ears a promise

A promise to return. Because he will always return to her.

And as he turns away and finally walks out the door Sakura rolls over and knows that as Hokage, bold decisions must be made in order to protect the village....ones that meet unpredictable conclusions.

But are done with purity of heart.

Therefore, as she likes to surmise, the greater the chances of him coming back alive.

A/N: Finished this I was in a bad mood, so sorry if the ending is a little crappy. Review though please.
