I do not own naruto or any of its characters
chapitre 1
He looked at all the paper he have toread now he understood why tsunade gave up her title as the hokage to kakashi and why was kakashi in a hurry to make him the new hokage , it no fun at all to be the hokage , he remembered himself 9 years ago , a 15 year old orphan with big dreams , today he is naruto uzumaki ,the seventh hokage ,konoha hero and the strongest shinobi alive , he should be happy ,but he wasnt , he felt lonely again , lonely despite all the people around him , he wanted to be the hokage. and here he was dying of routine , he wanted a family and here he was , spending most of his time locked in the office without them. it has been 4 years since marrmarried huyga hinata , it wasnt love at first sight as he had known her all his life and he had never thought of her in that way , actually it wasnt love at all , it was mutual respect and he found her cute , at least those were his reason for marrying her.
thinking about love he had only loved one girl in all his life. , a certain pink haired medic but they were never meant to be .
it make him wonder sometimes. what if sasuke had never come back , what if he didnt start dating hinata and tried asking sakura again after the war. would it be different , he imagined going home to be welcome by the fires pink beauty. her loud attitude never fell to amuse him. she was everything he wanted in a woman, beautiful. smart , hardworking , strong and loud. just like him unlike his wife who was too quite for her own good.
he woke up from his dreams when shikamaru opend the door
"hokage sama ,its late I guess u should go home ,i'llhelp u with those tomorrow "
he nodded and left the office
That night , he kept thinking about his choices in life , most of them were right , but he wished one decision had been different , he wished to change only one thing , and that is to never give up on his real love
" is it the morning already "he commented while opening his bleu eyes , expecting to see his wife on the other half of bad
But she wasnt there ,He blinked when he noticed the small bad he was in
"What the ..." naruto stood from the bad to look around
"Where the hell I am ."
He knew the place was familiar. But he couldn't place it , he was damm sure. It wasnt not his house , he went out of the room, it seems like a small apartement , too familiar , it actually look exactly like his old appartment. , he stoped for a moment taking in his surrounding . Hell this really was his old apartment , .but it couldn't be , he was sure a new guy live there , and of course the man wont keep naruto old furniture in fact he cleand the place and throw all those before his wedding , 8 years ago Naruto was going out of his mind when he heard a konk.on the door He opened the door to see her
"Sakura !!!" He muttered in disbelief
"Who did you expect ? , what's up , u look like u saw a ghost "
It was really her , but not her at the same time. It was not the sakura he saw last week in the hospital , it was a much younger one , she looked about 17 .
" it must be dream " he said , but it didnt feel like a dream ,sakura's hand on his forhead felt real , so real
Can it be a gengetsu. If it was it must be a strong one , a very strong gengtsu .
And he wanted to know who and why ,
" Naruto, are u okay " he snapped out of his thoughts
" yes , amm why are u here in the morning sakura " if he was going to.find out who was behind the gengtsue he should play the role ,pretend like he believed it was the past.
" what u mean why am I here , it's the day sasuke is leaving , dont u wanna say goodbye. Convince him to stay., tell him anything , I mean , u insisted on me to woke u up ,before he leave "
So this gengetsu usere , puted him at the day sasuke was leaving after the war
" okay , lets go , " he walked out without waiting for her , it wont help him spending time with sakura , gengtsiu or not , he was in love with her and for the last 8 years he tried to avoid her , to forget about her , and seeing her now , young , beautiful , unmarried to his best friend , was not a good thing for his heart , even if it was not real
They walked in silent. Till they saw him
Sasuke , same old sasuke from after the forth war , this gengtsu was amazing , but what he heard next shoked him What sasuke said about his trip , the look in sakura'a eyes , the way she asked him to take her , his answer
It was all the same He can remember that moment very well. Actually it was the moment he decided to gave up sakura , the moment he saw the unconditional love for sasuke in her eyes and decided to let go . Everything felt so real no one was there at the time no one knows about there conversation expect for him , sakura , sasuke and kakashi. ,and he was sure , exept for sasuke they can't perform such a gengetsu. , again sasuke has no reason to do so. He was his friend , his second hand ,Can this be the past , and if it was , why was he here , what was he supposed to do. Relive 8 years of his life
(Hey stupid stop looking at the girl like an.idiot and do something )
( kurama !!! Ur here )
(Where should I be , im always here stuck with your sorry ass now use the opportunity I gave u )
( im , I , ... dont understand )
( usless , ... what have u wished for yesterday ?)
( to ... to have a chance )
( ya , you were unhappy for a long time , so here we are take that chance )
( how did u do that ???)
( I dont know exactly , but im sure as hell , I cant do it again. And I guess we cant go back )
( what !!!! U mean we are stuck here , what about hinata , what about all the work I did in the hokage office am I redoing that :
( ungrateful child , I was trying to.help and here u are worried about the wife u never loved , she is still here , u can.always marry her again , and as for the work. I thought u hated it , u dont have to b hokage here )
Naruto was speachless , a new chance , what was he supposed to do
" naruto we should go"
He looked at sakura like it's the first time in his life , her soft pink hair , her big emerald eyes , her rosy lips , and he knew what to do.
They were near her house when , he remembered , this same day 8 years ago , he left alone to cry about sasuke , he didn't want to see her cry over another man , but today , he was older wiser , and he wont let her cry
" how about we have dinner together today ?"
He asked , so sure she was going to refuse , but to his surprise she smiled
" sure , but not at ishikaru , how about I cook today and u and sai , came over "
" you are cooking ??" He asked in disbelief
", ya I actually need something to keep me from thinking about sasuke , so preparing dinner and having u guys , would be good"
" em , yes , well , do u need anything I.can help with. ?"
" no , just be here at 7 , and dont forget to tell sai "
Well that wasnt bad , it sure looked like she was sad , but he'll make sure , to change that , the first time , he left her alone , so she kept thinking about sasuke , this time he'll be always by her side untill she sees him the way he sees her "
It was only six when he was at her front door
Dreesed in black , with a bouquet of red rose and a box of cake
" naruto , ur early , "
She looked at him and added. " oh , black.??? What happened to the orange suite
" can I come in sakura "
" oh sorry , ya sure , oh are those for me ?' She pointed for the roses
" is there any other girl living here "
" oh thank u " she kissed his cheek and took the roses ,
Her scent her fresh cherry scent filled his lungs , and he felt his heart skip a beat , he watched her walk away , her hips swaying , sakura wasnt too curvy , but she was cury enough for his taste , he had always wondered what would it feel like. To press her delicate small body to his , how would it feel to taste her rosy lips . He stopped his thoughts when she turned around .
"Well Mr gentleman would u help me in the kitchen , now that u are here "
" of course my lady , anything u want "
They spent the hour working and chatting , well actually sakura talking and he was lensing to the new gossips , which were of no surprise to him cause he lived them.already
"Can u believe it , the lazy shikamaru and temari , i'v never imagined that "
" im sure they'll make good couple "
" u dont seem surprised "
" it's obvious there is something between those too , it's in the way.they look at each other every time they met "
" wawo., never took u for an observant ,.naruto , maybe u should concentrate on people who look at u that way"
He knew she was talking about hinata , at this point in his life he didn't know about her feelings for him. And sakura tried to push them together
"Or maybe im so in love with onther girl , till the point that I cant see any other girl. " he said in low voice while looking in her eyes.
There was a pink blush on her face before she turne to the other side " thanks for the cake by the way , I was thinking about making one for dessert "
"Dont u wanna know about the girl.im in.love with ?"
She didnt look at him and said " it dosnt matter if she is not in love with u "
" but i'll make her love me back , it's a matter of time "
" u sound too sure of yourself "
" well u dont know her,she is the most amazing thing I had ever seen , loyal , fires , beautiful , gentle in her own way , full of love ,and strong. a man can only fight for this kind of girl. "
She stood there her mouth wide open , was he talking about her ? Is that the way he sees her , ? Naruto had always have a crush on.her , but she thought it was a childesh , he had never looked this sincere , she was flattered , nobody had ever talked to her this way. She could hear her heart beating ,and the room started to feel too small , especially with his ocean bleu eyes on her , she noticed how the black looked good on him. It actually brought out his beautiful colours , he should definitely wear more black
The the doorbell saved here from the awkward situation.
" it must be sai "
" hey ugly , why is your face red ?"
".oh., its its , hot in the kitchen , u know I was cooking "
"Of course I know. , what else would be doing in the kitchen with dickless "
Naruto smiled at the name.
