-------------------(Begin)

"Just alittle bit father Sakura-chan please hang in their." A blonde haired shinobi says as he carries a pink haired kuniochi on his back piggy back style their blood seems to mingle together as they seem to both linger on the edge of consiouness. The kuniochi fights her urge to pass out as they arrive threw the gates of Konoha to be releived by a medical squad.

"Naruto, Sakura." Says a busty blonde woman as she begins treating Sakura's wounds while the others escort Naruto to the hospital.

"Sakura what happened." The blonde says a she tries to keep Sakura consiounes enough to get the bleeding under control.

"Sasuke's team ambushed us." Sakura the pink haired kunoichi says as she feels Tsuande carry her way.

-----------------

The two shinobi's spend weeks recovering in the hospital nether one saying a word to one another afriad they will lash out at one another. They had failed missarably. All their training they had done since being genin was completely useless against Sasuke and his sound nin team. They had lost Sasuke to Orochimaru to his quest for strenght.

------------------- (Flash back)

Naruto and Sakura close in on Sasuke and 2 sound chunnin. Sasuke was reported to have been doing alot of recent murders in the area. Naruto and Sakura had closed in with every intent of being able to capture. Naruto had trained 2 months with Jiraiya and Sakura 2 months with Tsuande it had only been a 3 months since Sasuke seperation from the village.

Naruto and Sakura closed in on the group they even managed to quickly take out one of the Chunnin but as soon as Sasuke got into the fight he split away with Naruto leaving Sakura to fight off 2 of the chunnin. Nomrally Sakura could have proabably handled the chunnin as she was considered a High level chunnin herself and with her monster strength and training from Tsuande she probably should have had the upper hand advantage.

Naruto roar with Sasuke as they clashed in the distance. Sakura fought hard against the two chunnin in the begining even overpowering them but then they two began releaseing the curseal much like Sasukes and started over powering Sakura with ease hitting her with Zankukyukuha (Extreme Decapitating Air Waves). knocking her to the ground as another chunnin performed Suiton: Suiryudan no jutsu on her. (Water Release: Water Dragon Missile

Sakura crashs hard into a tree as one of the branches impales her as the chunin rams a sword threw her chest. She lets out a screem from pain sending Naruto over the edge as the scream from Sakura seems to rip him up to 3 tails in a desperate frenze to save Sakura. He rips the 2 chunnin to shreds but Sasuke manages to chidori Naruto not once but twice. Naruto manages to perform 2 one handed demon rasengans as the red swirling chakra bites into Sasuke forcing him to make a full retreat leaving Naruto to grab Sakura. She treats her impailed wounds as best as she could do before Naruto picked her up in an all out dash to Konoha.

-------------------- (End Flashback)

They remain silent to one another though they share the same room they don't even dare look at one another, yet alone say anything. Tsuande makes her check telling both of them they are clear to leave the hospital. Wordlessly they both leave heading their seperate ways.

Not untill late that night does Naruto bump into Sakura who is waiting for him on the road out of Konoha.

"What are you doing." Sakura ask Naruto as he looks at the ground. "Its kinda funny... This is exactly the same way Sasuke left... Same rain.. Same silence." Sakura tells herself as she looks at Naruto for answers only to have Naruto continue to walk on.

"Where are you going Naruto." Sakura says as she feels the pain of loosing yet another team mate inclose around her heart. Yet this time the pain feels stronger worse than it did when Sasuke left tears begin to forum in her eyes as she grabs Naruto's wrist. "Don't leave Naruto."

Naruto looks to Sakura for the first time in over 2 weeks their eyes meet. "Sakura I'm leaving weither you let me or not."

Sakura can feel her insides twist and turn as her heart seems to scream and crack with his words she sobs out. "No No you can't leave me too Naruto." she chokes on her tears as she feels Naruto wraps his arm around her she can feel his warm breath against her neck his soft words in her ear. "I will become stronger for you Sakura-chan."

His words seem to break any dams Sakura had on her tears as the flow down her cheek. "Why..why...why...why" Her voice grows from a shout to a whisper as she suddenly feels somthing warm and wet against her lips he pulls away letting his warm breath grace her lips. "Because I love you Sakura-chan. I shall bring Sasuke-teme back for you Sakura-chan even if he dosn't love you back... Goodbye... I'm sorry I have to do this." Naruto says as his hand cracks against the back of her head forcing her to pass out.

Naruto politely brings Sakura back home he slips her into her room even tucks her in before fleeing the village to begin his personal training.

-------------------

Sakura bolts from her bed she notices she was still wearing her day clothes yet she's in her room. "Was it just a dream." Sakura asks as she look around her room the sunlight just begining to peak threw the window blindes. "It seemed so real... I can still feel his lips even taste him...was it real... Does Naruo really love me... Would he really abandon he village to make me happy." She asks herself as she continues gazing about the room still in a daze.

"It wasn't a dream." Her innerself claims as she buts into Sakura's morning thoughs.

"But...He kissed me... He said he loved me and would bring Sasuke-kun back even if Sasuke-kun doesn't love me..." Sakura said as she repeates the dream over in her head.

"Do I sense a bit of melting from that kiss." Inner Sakura jokes making Sakura blush.

"Naruto stole my first kiss Gah when I get my hands on him I'm going to kill him." Sakura shouts in her head.

Inner Sakura knockes on Sakura's head. "Hello earth to Sakura he's left the village we need to go to the hag and get a team together."

"Your right."

-------------------

To say Tsuande and most of the rookie nine where pissed about Naruto leaving would be incorrect they where outraged and deppressed at the sametime. Nothing seemed normal without the blonde nuckle head. They had tried to track down Naruto but failed everytime for he would scatter his scent even his clothes confusing the tracking dogs and the kage bushin each with their own chakra provided even more problems. Soon within a few months the spotting of a yellow haired man with a loud orange jumpsuit stoped completely no one reconized the pictures of Naruto. The failed missions started taking its tole on everyone but they affected Sakura the worst.

She knew the reason Naruto left was to get stronger to help her. She herself decided to push her training even harder pushing herself beyond the brink. Studying constantly even plunging herself into so much hospital work Tsuande had to banish her from the hospital to sleep yet Sakura didn't sleep instead she would spend her time reading and training only sleeping when her body failed her and passed out. She had swore to herself that she would get so stronge that Naruto never had to leave her to get more power. They where a team all three of them and she was not going to be the weakest link.

Slowly as the months passes espically during the cold months Sakura begain Isolating herself from her friends and all social life wraping herself up in training and work. Soon she even qualfied to become an ANBU which she gladly excepted as another means to keep her mind busy and preoccupied. She became a picture perfect ANBU sometimes even forced to make apperances at the Academy to show the children that wanted to be ANBU black ops one day what ANBU's looked like.

Tsuande had always hoped that the academy classes would warm Sakura up even if it was just alittle yet it did not help. She would only stare at the children like a lifeless puppet to the point that even Iruka became deeply worried for Sakura. It wasn't many more months untill Sakura became a Root ANBU captain. She picked the code name of Kyuubi for she decided to grow her hair out long like Naruto had liked then she split it into 9 pony tails tiping her pink hair with a slight red at the tips. She used the body manipulation jutsu she had learned from Tsuande to make her k-9 teeth longer making herself look much like Naruto's trainformed state. She had already seemed to pass both her sensei's she had developed her own taijutsu and kenjutsu fighting style and even several jutsu of her own. Though threw all her hard work and training she had only brought more pain upon herself. Once she took the appearance and code name Kyuubi though everyone normally refired to her as ice queen the villagers started talking behind her back mocking her and calling her names. Anyone that dared say anything to her face resulted in a near fatal beating or wound from Sakura.

She had become so cold that even her own team-mate hated working with her. Sakura seemed to always take on the hardest and most challeging missions that she could get several times resulting in her team-mates being hospitalized. Over all her time as ANBU she had accumlated a vast wealth yet never once spent it on herself even refusing to go to the hospital. Instead treating her own wounds at her very small run down apparment. The entire inside was dark her blinds always kept shut keeping any sunlight from entering.

--------------

In the case of Naruto however things where much more drastic. Forced to give up his old loud orange jumpsuit. For something completely opposite of himself. He wore a dark black ANBU outfit without the chest guard letting the fabric clench to his muscels like a 2nd layer of skin. He wore a white fox mask his blue eyes which where once mezmeriousing always seeming to hold happiness where now nothing more than glass orbs with a distant look. On his back is a black katana the sheath rapped in white cloth with nine distinctive strips tieing it to his torso. His hair grown long no longer spiked widly and thick instead more of a style that reflected the fineness of his blond hair. That was hidden by his white fox mask on his arm he wears a black leaf ANBU symbol.

He went about the country stealing and studying every hidden village scroll he could get his hands on even mastering quiet a few never before seen jutsu using the foxes chakra. He did not just learn the simple jutsu and advance but the high tech and even the chunnin rated jutsu's. He study'd non stop with his kage bushin. He developed his own taijutsu and kenjutsu which seemed to reflect the sadness he held.

Naruto moved with a certain caluculating and coldness to him. He was never caught off guard or out manovered even was able to fight one on one with several kage's. He earned the nickname of the sad demon of the night. Always striking villages at the night never remaining in more than one place longer than a day. Naruto even masted up to 8 tails of the kyuubi yet he hardly ever needed more than one tail in a fight even with kages he would only go up to two or three tails. No one had ever heard him talk more than a few words at once.

-----------------------

Two years had passed since Naruto and Sakura parted ways Sasuke Uchiha had actually killed Orochimaru. Naruto managed to find Sasuke but he had ended up getting mixed up with the Akatsuki. The mighty sad demon of the night had finally been bested in a battle of 10 against 1. He put up a heavy fight against Pein and his Reingan eyes. Naruto even was forced to reveil a new bloodline jutsu he had developed with the help of kyuubi. His Mantengan eyes a special mix blend between the 2 greatest Kekkai genkai. Yet after taking several chidori's from Itachi he was forced to make a retreat to the nearest village. The village hidden in the leaves Konoha.

With 3 chidori holes and sword wounds with more than a dozen broke bones Naruto slipped into Konoha. He went to the one place he knew he wouldn't be killed on the spot the Hokage mansion.

He slipped into Tsuandes room with a almost silent movement about him he didn't even alert the Hokage when he lean on her head board looking down at her. "Tsuande sure is a heavy sleeper. I wonder how she will react... Its been over 2 years since I left."

Naruto gently lets the blood from his head splash down on the Hokage. Her eyes flutter open to meet Naruto's cold distant blue eyes. Her brown eyes lock with his as her words seem to escape in a whisper from her mouth. "Naruto?" She asks as if she was still dreaming.

Naruto looks down at her as he begins to move his mouth slowly as if choosing his words. "Tsuande-sama I need medical attention."

Tsuande quickly bolts out of the bed relizing that it was blood that was splashing down on her. She looks at Naruto as if in awe of how he was still consious even with his heavy bleeding he had 3 chidori wound and several other injures including a broken arm in which the bone had snapped threw the skin.

"Naruto lay down I'll treat you immediatly."

Naruto nods his head as he speaks once agian this time more strictly. "Don't tell anyone I'm here Please just heal me so I can leave."

Tsuande dares not deny the man that has been like alittle brother to her even a son medical attention but she continues to convers as she heals him. "Naruto what about Sakura."

Naruto cloeses his eyes as he had not thought about Sakura since the day he dawned the ANBU outfit. "What about her." His voice clearly reflecting some sadness and guiltyness.

"She's been worried sick for you Naruto. Without you she has become cold and hardened to everyone."

Naruto lets out a sigh. "She will have Sasuke Uchiha back soon."

Tsuande shakes her head. "What good is Sasuke if she doesn't even have an emotion if she is completly cold. How can someone feel happiness if they are broken on the inside. You where what held her together you are what she truely wants all she has done up to now was for you not Sasuke."

Naruto opens his eyes and stares back at Tsundae. "Sakura will be fine without me as soon as she gets Sasuke back."

Tsuande stares back even stoping her medical jutsu. "You have been away for 2 years. You haven't seen what your absences has done to her. How much she cries for you. You Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto does not respond to her statment instead he pulls himself up ready to leave the room as it is apparent Tsuande won't heal him any father. Yet as he goes to leave Tsuande grabs his arm. "Naruto. Stay here just a few weeks. I'll even make you a Root ANBU. Even change your name and put you on a team. Please just don't leave."

Naruto turns around. "Your willing to do that much and face the peneinatlies of harboring an S-class fugative who's name is writen in over 10 diffrent bingo book including Konoha."

Tsuande nods her head. "Hai, If it would give my student just one moment of warmth from her cold heart then I would gladly. Besides I don't think you've quiet abandon Konoha." Tsuande says pointing to the signature leaf ANBU symble on Naruto arm.

Naruto looks at his arm then to Tsuande. "Because your willing to take such a risk I'll except. But my name shall be changed."

Tsuande nods her head. "Very well wait outside the gates I'll send Sakura's ANBU squad to pick you up."

Naruto nods his head. "Hai." He flips threw a few seals performing Hirishin and vanishing from Tsuandes room leaving her slightly awe struck at the fact that Naruto had learned his fathers ultamite move."

-------------------

Sakura arrives at the Hokage upon reciving a summon from at messenger ANBU. She stands silently as the Hokage stares her down. "Sakura you and 3 squads are to pick up a S-class missing nin that is outside our village gates and escort him to my office. He is considered top importants. Neji and Shino squads along with you. Kakashi will be assiting you aswell. The call words will be The night is young. He will responds with the miscief has begun."

Everyone lets out a shocked look at the fact that she is sending the top 4 squads. Sakura emotionlessly bows. "Hai"

Sakura and the others arrive outside at the west gate. Their eyes stare into a blonde haired ANBU looking man his eyes are shut as he lays against the hill as if in a nap.

Sakura is the first to approch the man. "The night is young."

The man opens his cold distant blue eyes. "The misceif has begun. You must be Sakura Haruno captain of squad 8. Beside you are Neji Huyga captain of squad 6 Kakashi Hatake captain of squad 7 and Rock Lee captain of squad 10. It is a pleasure to meet all of you I am Hitori Tenshi (Lonely Angel) also known at the Night Devil."

Everyone takes a leap back exept for Sakura who manages to keep a steel nerve as she slaps the chakra restraints on Naruto.

Naruto lets out a small smile. "Shall we go."

Sakura wordlessly nods her head. "He is strong. I wonder why the hag wanted us to bring him in why is he coming so willingly."

"He's sooooo dreamy."

"Shut up."

"Yes Ice queen."

Sakura glares at her Innerself she hates when her inneself calls her Ice queen even though all her freinds address her as such.

----------------

The 4 ANBU squad arrive at Tsuandes office as she looks at Naruto.

"Welcome to Konoha sad Night Devil."

Naruto bows his head as he slips the cuffs off his hands himself tossing them on Tsuandes desk. He bows. "Please call me Hitori Tenshi."

Tsuande nods her head glancing at the restrints that lie on the table as Naruto takes a seat in one of the several chairs before her desk. "You seemed to escape the restrints."

Naruto nods his head. "I left them on incase any villagers saw me. Now can we get down to buisness."

Tsuande nods her head. "I understand you wish to become a Konoha shinobi."

Naruto nods his head. "Hai. That is correct."

Tsuande picks up a pen. "What is your full name. Age. blood type and reason you wish to live in this village."

Naruto leans back into the chair. "Full name is Hitori Kitsune Tenshia. Age 15 Blood type O. Reason for wanting to live in this village is I hear it has some of the best nights around. But if that won't do I'm just sick and tierd of running from tracker nin and not having a good place to sleep."

Tsuande nods her head. "The last one will be acceptable. You understand that you must undergo several test and you will also be placed on probation."

Naruto nods his head. "Hai, Thats perfectly acceptable."

Tsuande nods. "I am going to give you apparment 112 of the assisted living sector. I will also be asigning my best ANBU to guard you."

Naruto nods. "She's giving me my old apparment Hah she's still as lazy as ever. I wonder who the best ANBU is I though Kakashi was." His questions are quickly answered as Tsuande tosses the key to him and turns to Sakura. "You will have the night shift. Kakashi will releve you at sunrise."

Sakura nods her head as Tsuande dimisses everyone to return to the slumber they had been awaken from.

-----------------------

Naruto opens his apparment door to see many things untouched. His house had been cleaned up and repaired since the last burning which happend over 2 years ago after his leave. The inside was lightly funished with nothing more than a bed, couch and a few ramen cups obvously left just for him incase he ever came back. Naruto lets out a small smirk as he closes the door behind him and tosses the keys onto the divider counter that seperates the small kitchen from the bedroom slash living room a small floor table 5 feet from the foot of the bed and 7 feet from the couch which is against the same wall as the door and one of the windows. He turns to the ANBU. "I am going to take a shower do you have to watch me shower or might I have alittle privacy." Naruto says in a cold voice.

The ANBU nods her head. "You have 10 minutes upon the second after the 600th second I shall bardge in." Responds Sakura keeping a strick professional tone despite her innerself scream that she should have said she had to watch.

"Come on he's hot you could have lied and said you had too."

"Shut up you pervert." Sakura says finally shutting up her innerself as she moves her to the back of her mind watching Naruto remove his shirt does not help keep her innerself quiet. Sakura wonders to herself why she finds herself staring so much at the blonde shinobi. It doesn't take her long to piece together that he looks alot like Naruto except Hitori does not have any whiskers and his eyes are cold and distant even his face is stone cold nothing like Naruto would ever have.

Naruto slips into the bathroom removing his pants and boxers as he hops into the ice cold shower.

"Kit. I could understand cold shower back when you where living outside the village but dam can you please make it warm."

"No and if you have a problem with that then just disconnect yourself from my senses."

"Why do you do it don't give me that, because I don't want to get used to hot water line again."

"Because it reminds me of how my heart is supposed to be. Cold and Lonely."

The kyuubi shuts up resisting all urge to yell at the kid instead decides to let Naruto handle his heart and mind himself and settles on the fact that for once Naruto will sleep in a bed.

Naruto quickly jumps out of the shower and throws on a towl just as Sakura barges in.

"I'm out sheesh." Naruto says slightly ticked off that she kept exactly to 10 minutes. "Now if you don't mind I'd like to get dressed."

Sakura rolls her eyes and shuts the door waiting on the others side.

---------------------

Naruto wakes up to see the cold green eyes of Sakura glaring down at him. He watches as Kakashi pats Sakura on the shoulder reliving her of her post.

Naruto lets out a sigh of relife. "Finally Ms Phyco is gone." Naruto says with a small smirk.

Kakashi nods his head and smirks slightly. "Oh what happend to Sakura-chan eh Naruto."

Naruto glares at Kakashi like he's dumb. "I don't know who your talking about."

Kakashi laughs alittle as he leans against the wall by the door. "Come now Naruto. You honestly think I'm that dumb. Everyone else might be but I'm not."

Naruto keeps to his acting. "I don't know what your talking about."

Kakashi smiles. "Come now so your telling me its just a convienent that a blonde hair blue eye'd boy the exact same age as Naruto Uzumaki bearing all the resemblance even has a leaf tattoo on his arm really want to join Konoha just because he was sick of running around. The fact that Tsunade gave out this place out without so much as a tear"

Naruto lets out a sigh knowing full well Kakashi has caught him. "So how'd you honestly know."

Kakashi smirks and points to his right eye. "I had it activated when we first met last night. I saw the genjutsu on your cheeks so I put two and two together."

Naruto rolls his eyes. "Stuiped sharingan."

Kakashi laughs. "Welcome back Naruto but why not just use your real name."

Naruto frowns alittle as he begins to talk again. "I'm not staying for long I'm just staying 1 month as I promised Tsunade-sama I would."

Kakashi lets out a sigh. "So you hungry the ramen in the house is still good but I'd expect you want some fresh ramen though right."

Naruto shakes his head. "No don't want ramen."

Kakashi's eyes nearly widden twice the size at Naruto's sudden revilation that he doesn't obssess about ramen anymore. "My, My that is unexpected."

Naruto nods his head. "Whatever, Just I've grown so used to not eating it thanks to you guys tracking down every single person that ate rame in any town I went near."

Kakashi grins. "We thought that would have worked for sure too. Even Shikamaru was pissed it didn't work."

Naruto laughs. "Figures I'll go change"

As Naruto and Kakashi sit together eating some pancakes Kakashi looks at Naruto. "Why do you mask yourself from the happiness you want."

Naruto sets his fork down. "Someone must carry the sadness."

---------------------- (3 weeks later)

Naruto and Kakashi play their parts as Naruto strolls threw the marketplace earing several looks from the fan girls the day passes by as Naruto recives stares from people wondering who he is even several of the rookie 9 join Kakashi in the stalking. Naruto ahears to the strick limitation and restriction rules set by Konoha when under Sakura's watch and the loose terms under Kakashi who acts more like an annoying friend always questioning and talking to Naruto.

-------------------

3 Days pass by when finally Naruto gets annoyed with Sakura's distant constant staring.

"Sakura-san if your going to keep staring so hard then why don't you just come inside. I'll fix some tea."

Sakrura slips inside the room threw the window as she watchs Naruto fix up 2 cups of tea. They sit down on the floor the table between them with the two cups of tea siting on it.

"So Sakura-san, How was your day." Naruto says passing her a cup of tea as she silently sips the tea threw her mask. "Fine no small talk I'll get right to my question. Why do you keep staring at me with a question on your mind."

Sakura stares down at the tea her green eyes seeming to linger on the tea. "You remind me of an old friend."

Naruto rubs his genjutsu'd whiskers as he draw his mind into his intention the whole reason he still stays. "What was this freind to you." His words are as sharp as any kunai could be.

Sakura looks at the tea thankful that she had her mask on she could feel the tear streek down her cheek under the mask. "Someone who woke me up."

Naruto eyes lift from his cup of tea looking at Sakura's mask. "One should not hide behind a mask because they think it will ease the pain. The only thing a mask will bring is more suffering." Naruto stands up from his sitting position grabing his cup he holds it down by his waist.

"A Mask can be seen and it can be invisable. Both can blind you from the truth Sakura-san both are a barrer allowing nether the inside out or the outside in. That is why ANBU wear masks and that is why you wear the mask of an ANBU." Naruto walks into his kitchen leaving Sakura to absorb his words. Sakura keeps staring down at the cup of tea no longer holding any intrest in the tea but the reflection that she sees. She sees a white ANBU fox mask she does not see herself she only sees her profession only her mask. Not even her pink hair seems to escape the mask. She feels another tear slide between her and the mask. She can feel herself crying yet she can't see the tears she can't see the emotions that someone should have suddenly she is broken from her thoughts.

"Remeber Your only ANBU part of the day the other part your a person." Naruto leans against his wall. "May I go for a walk its such a beautiful night."

Sakura nods her head. "Hai"

Naruto opens the door as Sakura follows him out. Sakura watches as Naruto strolls about the city. Sakura looks around she see's all her friends happy and smiling Ino eating a dinner with Choji as they laugh and joke on the double date with Temari and Shikamaru. They pass by to watch Iruka flirting with Ayame. Even Kakashi and Anko are having a fun time shopping in the cool night breeze. Naruto leads Sakura to a plesant park the bump into Hinata and Kiba making out under a tree horribly embarrasing Hinata. Even run into Neji, Tenten, Lee and another girl wearing a green spandex suit much like Lee's.

They remain silent for along time not speaking a word since they left his apparment. Naruto leads Sakura out on ontop of the 4ths head where he finally breaks the silence. "Tell me Sakura-san when you look out over the village what do you see."

Sakura joins Naruto in looking over the village. Naruto ask her the same question one more time. "I see happiness." She tells herself as she feels Naruto tug on her arm leading her into the forest. They walk for awhile untill finally reaching one of the many small lakes scattered around the training area. "Look in the reflection Sakura-san."

Sakura looks down she sees a mask covering herself she doesn't see the smiling faces like her freinds have she doesn't even see sadness. Yet she feels it. She feels the warm tears that run down her face yet she can't even see them no one can. She notices Naruto brushing his hand across her mask his hard voice soft and caring. "You look prettyer when you smile Sakura-chan."

She flips around to look at Naruto yet he is gone the only thing she sees is the hard cold expression of Hitori. The icy distant look of his blue eyes. She feels her heart shatter once more. Her pain seems to creep out from the mask.

"Sakura-san I am returning to my room. You should stay here Kakashi-san will watch over me for the sun is rising on a new day. Make it a new day for yourself Sakura-san."

Naruto leaf flickers away leaving Sakura to fall on her knees. The mask seemly slipping free from her face. Her tears running like a river down her soft cheeks. She looks at the sad image of what her quest for power in her quest to catch Sasuke she drove away Naruto. In her quest for Naruto she had drove away herself.

----------------

Naruto lays in his bed thinking of his own words as he watches Kakashi arrive at his door slipping in to sit on the couch as he stares at Naruto.

Naruto looks to Kakashi. "Yo Kakashi-san what do you want."

Kakashi glares at Naruto. "You should take your own advice sometime. Today is indeed a New day are you going to seize your life's happiness or are you going to let it fall into the darkness."

Naruto shifts his gaze to the floor as he watches Kakashi slip out of the room. "Today your probation is over." Kakashi leaf flickers away.

Kakashi was right Naruto's probation was finally over. He could leave the village once again if he wished. Yet the thought wasn't even in his mind. All he could think about was his white fox mask and Sakura's white fox mask.

Naruto heard the rain crash against his window as he dawns the fox mask once more. "No matter how much pain I suffer I will make Sakura-chan happy I will return Sasuke." Naruto tells himself as he opens his door walking out into the rain once more. The ice cold rain beats down upon him in remberance of what his soul his heart and mind are supposed to be "Cold" He tells himself as he leaps into the crowds below traveling towards the exit that he has taken so many times before. "The coldness is so lonely... I'm tierd of being so lonely... I can't break my promise... I must... I must return Sasuke to Sakura-chan... Why do I hesitate...Why..." Naruto asks himself once more. His mind races "If I leave... Then I can recover Sasuke myself. Sakura-chan won't get hurt... Yet if I stay we can recover him together... I don't want Sakura-chan to get hurt... Why do I waver... Rain tell me why is leaving so hard." Naruto stares up at the clouds above him. He removes his mask letting the chilly rain beat against his pale face not even blinking as it hits his eyes to mingle with his tears.

"Sakura-chan..." Naruto's mind flashes how she looks now how she acts. "Are you really that sad with me gone... Do you really miss me that much... Could we get Sasuke together?" Naruto eye's keep fixed to the rain his tears clearly seen strolling down his face in wonder of wether or not he should continue his path and leave the village behind him. Or should he return to his friend his team-mate that seems so sad without him.

"Hitori do you plan on leaving us." A female voice ask from behind the tree.

Naruto's eyes glaze at the site of a small group walking towards him lead by none other than Tsuande. "I must keep to my word."

Tsunade walks up to Naruto a few mere inches seperating them. "Do you really want to leave so badly." Naruto can see the hurt in Tsuandes eyes as he looks up at the sky he lets the rain poor down on his cheeks.

"I must... Leave just like the rain I must move on." Naruto turns his gaze back to Tsuande. "I have stayed like I promised now I must leave as I promised."

Naruto feels a hand smack across his face just hard enought to make his lip bleed. He keeps his gaze at the ground as sadness seems to seep with his words. He slides his ANBU mask over his face. "Goodbye Sakura-san."

Naruto turns away from the crowd that had come to support his return. Everyone watched in sadness as Naruto slipped into the rain his faded dark blue almost black ANBU cloak seeming to melt in the haze mist of the rain.

Sakura who had fallen from the momentum of her smack kneels in the mud fresh tears streeming down her face. She can feel Tsuandes arms wrapped around her frail frame. Sakura who had hardened herself to life to emotions could not seem to hold her broken heart together. She feel the cracks that had ached her heart for so long seem to rip her apart as the tears flood like the rain on the ground. Tsuande tries to comfort her crying student. But Sakura knows exactly what will bring Naruto Uzumaki back to her. The one thing they both chase after the man known as Sasuke Uchiha and she would get him back dead or alive. Sakura knew she was the cause of all the pain all the sadness all the chase and she would end the chase.

Her mind and body seems to igronore her shattered heart as she looks up to Tsuande. She looks to all her friends who had gathered around her to support the pink kunoichi but she did not want their pity she wanted only one thing and this time she was not going to let him slip from her fingers. She grabs her mask out of her pocket covering her face she stands to her feet. "The rain is so cold... So lonely... I will make the sun come out again... Or die trying." Sakura mind seems to block out the tears and voices of her friends as she flickers out of Tsunades arms deep into the haze of the rain.

(Well things have come up. My GF is comming over for a few days and I'm going to put of the fanfic for a few days and spend some much needed time with her but I left if off here its a good end to the chapter. Keep in mind This is kinda rough draft I apollogize but I think its better to have a good story and crappy spelling than a bad story and good spelling. I REALLY NEED A SPELL/GRAMMER PERSON... Anyone. Anyone at all willing to help let me know send a mail or just submit a review.)
