Hey, long time no write. I finally got out of school, so I'll be writing stories non-stop, if I get the time. I finally got out of 6th grade, which was a breeze. Heh, I'm rating this teen, because of some hint of killing and one word. The only violence is someone dyeing, punching and kicking, and bad guys being killed. Anyways, reade and enjoy!


After a long day of training, Naruto and Sasuke headed home to rest.

"Sasuke, have you and Sakura decided where your going to have your honeymoon yet? There's this awsome little resort for newlyweds by the little village in the west. It's called the Honeymoon Paradise Resort. I'm sure you two will enjoy it," proclaimed Naruto.

"Yes, I'm sure it will be grand, but Sakura hates resorts, and she despises the village in the west," replied Sasuke.

"Oh, ok, whatever you say." Naruto was still jealous of Sasuke getting Sakura instead of him, so he would still get annoyed when Sasuke talked about him and Sakura.

"Hey, Naruto, if you want, I know a certain girl who would love to be your bride. Her name is..."

"We're the Trouble Trio, and we're going to take over this village," announced the Trouble Trio.

"I don't care who you are, because I'm going to kill you. You hurt my friend Sasuke, now I'm going to make you repay for the pain you've caused him," yelled Naruto.

"Hahahahaha, you, a brat, defeat us. The only pain your going to cause us is making us laugh to death," chuckled Gackto, the leader of the Trouble Trio.

"Watch it Gackto, that kids the one that holds the Nine Tailed Fox. I'd be careful if I were you," warned Kaito in a hushed voice.

"I don't care what or who that kid is, he's still a troublesome brat that stands in our way. He probably can't even control the power of the blasted demon," responded Gackto.

"Gackto, or whatever your name is, get ready to fight. I Naruto, will revenge Sasuke, believe it!"

"You seem all bark, and no bite. I suppose I can get a small workout before I start my takeover. Kaito, get over here, I need you to hold the boy for an inspection. I want to see where his most vital spots are."

"Yes sir!''

"Ok then, inspect me, but before your friend over there can touch me you'll be dead."

"Bring it then."

After many punches, kicks, and jutsus, Naruto defeated Gackto with hardly a scratch. Naruto has summoned the Nine-Tailed Fox a few minutes after the fight begun and killed all three enemies. After taking away the Trouble Trio and burying them, he went over to Sasuke to see if he was ok. The Trouble Trio had thrown a kunai at his neck, but missed and hit his head. Sasukes' bllod was almost completely drained out of him from the head wound.

"Sasuke!? Sasuke, speak to me. Are you ok? Please be alive," whispered Naruto as he gently shook Sasuke as not to hurt or cause him any more pain.

"Naruto, I, I..." stuttered Sasuke.

"What is it Sasuke. Tell me."

"The girl that loves you is, is... Hin... Hin... Hin..." Sasuke managed to say before he took his last breath in Naruto, his best friends' arms.

"Hin? I do not know a Hin. Could it be Hina, Hinara, Hinaria, Hinabu? Those are all people who live in other villages. People who have never met me, but I have heard their names metioned. Sasuke? Speak. Sasuke, damn you, speak to me." Naruto yelled, shaking Sasuke violently, not wanting to accept the fact that his best friend died. Tears streming down his face he whimpered, "Sasuke, please wake up, I don't want you to die."

Carring Sasuke over his shoulder carefully as not to bruise his body, Naruto took Sasuke to his favorite spot, the konoha waterfalls. Naruto then dug a deep hole into the ground, carefully laid Sasuke in and covered it up. Not knowing how to tell Sakura the bad news, he went to her house and left a letter explaining Sasukes' death. Ringing the doorbell then leaving, Sakura came to the door to answer. Seeing that nobody was there, she turned to leave when she noticed the letter sitting on the step. Sakura picked it up and read it:

Dear Sakura,

I'm so sorry that this happened, and I wish I could have saved him, but I guess I wasn't strong enough to save him. What I'm tring to say is that Sasuke has gone to a better place. On our way home from our training, a group called the Trouble Trio ambushed us. The leader Gackto threw a kunai at Sasuke and it hit his head. I killed the trio, but by the time I did, Sasuke was on his last breath. I tried, I really did, but it was no use. I buried him by the Konoha Waterfalls. You can visit his grave at any time. You will probably never see me again, for it is too sad to be in the same village. I don't know where I will be going after this, please do not look for me. I will always remember you.

-Naruto (Your true friend)

"Oh Naruto, it was not your fault. That trio was killed, and you tried your best. Why do you think it was your fault? I would have forgiven you. You showed true bravey, protecting a friend, no matter the cost. If you ask me, Naruto, you were much braver then Sasuke ever was." sighed Sakura.


"I guess I better go find this Hin person. I think I'll go find Hinata, maybe she'll know. I know I lied to Sakura about going away from Konoha, but I couldn't bear to face her. She'll probably be so mad at me..." trailed off Naruto, to afraid to think of what she might do to him.

Running to catch up with Hinata, to ask her about the girl who starts with the three letters "Hin", he tripped and slid right under her skirt.

"Kyah," screamed Hinata, punching Naruto in the face, thinking he was some pervert attacking her, not at all relizing it was Naruto. After she finally noticed it was Naruto she screamed, "Oh my god, Naruto, I had no clue it was you. I thought it was some old perverted man, and well... I'm sorry, please forgive me." Hinata then ran away, before Naruto even had a chance to look up or let lone know what was going on.

''I wonder where that cute girl went. That couldn't have been Hinata, she was always so shy and... well not very pretty, just ordinary," said Naruto to himself, not knowing that really was Hinata who had grown into quite the lady over the years. Naruto hadn't seen her for 4 years, and didn't relize that everyone had grown to be more mature and more grown-up looking.

"Hey, girl, what's ur name?" Naruto screamed after the girl.

"You already know it Naruto. We haven't seen each other for like forever, and well we were childhood friends. My name is Hina..." started Hinata but was cut off by the wind.

"Hina? Could that be the girl that likes me. Of course I didn't hear the rest, but..." Naruto trailed off in thought.

"Naruto, Naruto?! Is that you? It can't be! Your so handsome. Come here you cutie!" hollared Ino from the other side of the road.

"What in the world are you talking about, um... uh... Inoink? What's your name again?" asked Naruto.

"What?! You don't remember my name?! It's INO! Well, you may be cute, but, your still a dit. Hey, how's Sasuke-kun doing?"

"Um... Well... ask Sakura. She could probably explain it better."

"Explain what?"

"Just go ask Sakura"

"Ok. Whatever."

"By the way, I overheard you talking to yourself about the whole "Hin" person. The person your talking about is Hinata. Bye!" Ino blew Naruto a kiss, waved good-bye, and ran off to Sakuras' house.

"Ino, wait. Did you say Hinata? Hinata, the shy little girl in the purple jacket? It can't be Hinata, she never really spoke to me. Maybe if I go tell her I like her then see what she does or says. Then I'll know for sure. If that girl from earlier really was Hinata... Maybe I really do... Could I do... Can I do..." stuttered Naruto in a mix of feelings, one containing confused thoughts and some very perverted thoughts.
