Beginning
Naruto woke up in the morning and ate breakfast. He got dressed and heads out to Sakura's house. Sakura already awake and taking a shower, she then got a towel to dry off and got dressed to hear her mother calling her to the door. She went downstairs only to see Naruto.
"Hey, Sakura" Naruto said.
"Good morning, Naruto" Sakura said "What brings you to my doorstep".
"I just came by to check on you and see how you are doing" Naruto said.
"That's sweet of you, but I'm fine really" Sakura said.
"Of course, but you can talk to me about anything if you" Naruto said.
"I'll keep that in mind, so what now" Sakura said.
"Lets go see grandma Tsunade if she has a mission for us" Naruto said.
"Okay then, lets go" Sakura said.
Naruto and Sakura went to see Tsunade for a mission only to find Hinata and Konohamaru there.
"Naruto and Sakura, so glad you come, please come in" Tsunade said.
"Hello, Naruto" Hinata said.
"Oh, hey Hinata" Naruto said.
"Hey boss" Konohamaru said.
"How you doing, Konohamaru said.
"Now then on to business, I am sending you four to the village in the Land of Fangs to investigate a serious of attacks there" Tsunade said.
"You want us to look into these attacks" Sakura said.
"Yes and since Naruto is a jounin he will be leading the mission, you four are to leave in two hours, good luck to you four" Tsunade said.
Naruto and the group left the Leaf Village to the Land of Fangs. As they continue walking they talk.
"Ahem Naruto" Hinata said.
"What is it, Hinata" Naruto said.
"I was wondering if we can talk, because lately we haven't talked at lot" Hinata said.
"What is it you want to talk about" Naruto said.
"Ah" Hinata said blushing.
"Is this about us, Hinata" Naruto said.
"Yes" Hinata said.
"I'm sorry that we don't talk about our relationship, given what me and Sakura are dealing with" Naruto said.
"I know, Naruto" Hinata said.
"Lets talk about this later, Okay" Naruto said.
Naruto and the other stop at a hot spring for a break. Naruto and Konohamaru went into the boys side while Sakura and Hinata are at the girls. Sakura and Hinata removed there towel and began submerging in the water.
"Ah, this feels great" Sakura said.
"Yes, Ah" Hinata said.
"What is it, Hinata" Sakura said.
"I was just wondering how you and Naruto are holding up" Hinata said.
"What, where is this coming from" Sakura said.
"Sakura, this has been going on ever since Sasuke died" Hinata said.
"Look Hinata, I'm fine so drop it please" Sakura said.
Sakura looking at Hinata after she snapped at her.
"I'm sorry, Hinata" Sakura said "I shouldn't snap like that".
"It's okay, I understand" Hinata said.
"No, it's not okay" Sakura said "I haven't been able to move on since then and I know that Naruto is trying to help".
"You're lucky" Hinata said.
"Why" Sakura asked.
"Because he thinks of you a lot than he does of me" Hinata said.
"How come you haven't made a move on him after you confessed your feeling" Sakura said.
"It's because he seems focused on helping you dealing with Sasuke's death, that I decide not to get between you two" Hinata said.
"He has always been there for me because of his feelings for me" Sakura said.
"I know, I wish that I could have given him that feeling in return" Hinata said.
"Yeah" Sakura said.
She thinks about Naruto's love for her and begins to feel a sadness for letting him wait these past two years. Meanwhile on the boys side.
"Hey boss, do you want to check out the girls on the other side" Konohamaru said.
"No, thanks" Naruto said.
"What's a matter" Konohamaru said.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about what Hinata had said" Naruto said.
"What, that she likes you" Konohamaru said.
"Yes, but that's not it" Naruto said.
"Then what is it" Konohamaru said.
"Its about me and Sakura" Naruto said.
"Is this about Sasuke's death" Konohamaru asked.
"Yes, Konohamaru" Naruto said "I can hardy get Sakura to move on and the only thing I can do is cheer her up, but I can tell that she is hurt".
"Look boss, I know that you love her and that you let her pursue a relationship with Sasuke even if you end up getting hurt at the same time" Konohamaru said.
"I still love her, Konohamaru" Naruto said "I just want to make her happy, that's all".
"I believe that Sakura isn't the only one who is still hurt, boss" Konohamaru said.
"What do you think I should do, Konohamaru" Naruto asked.
"I think that you and Sakura really need to be honest with each other" Konohamaru said.
"You think so" Naruto said.
"I believe that it is the only way you both can move on and feel better" Konohamaru said.
"Thanks" Naruto said "Hey, you still want to look at the girls".
"Boy, would I" Konohamaru said.
Naruto and Konohamaru got to peek at some girls.
"Wow, check them out" Naruto said.
"Yeah I can see a lot of them" Konohamaru said.
"Look at the girls right there" Naruto said.
"I see one pink hair with a flat chest and one dark blue with big breasts" Konohamaru said.
"Say what" Naruto said.
Sakura then looks at the top of the wall to see the boys peeping. She got angry and decide to punch both of them.
"You damn pervs" Sakura said in anger.
She beat them both and they all got dress to meet the girls outside.
"You both should be ashamed of youselves" Sakura said.
"Sorry" Naruto and Konohamaru said in pain.
"Well lets just get going" Sakura said.
"Hey ah, Sakura" Naruto said.
"What" Sakura said.
"I just wondering if we could talk sometime, it's important" Naruto said.
"Okay, I also wanted to talk to you too" Sakura said.
The group continue their journey and almost arrive at the Land of Fangs for the mission. Naruto and Sakura began to think about each other after the conversation they each had.
