"I was sixteen and it was the summer before junior year. My friend Naruto," Sakura started and her daughter's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Uncle Naruto is in this story? Cool!" The little girl giggled, making Ino and Sakura laugh.

"Yes he is. He's going to be popping up often actually." Ino stated and she rolled her eyes. "I can't believe he's twice as annoying as he was back then." Sakura snickered.

"Ok, back to the story," Sakura held her hands up and her daughter sat in her lap, grinning from ear to ear.

"So this was like ten years ago, so my memory may be a little fuzzy. Aunt Ino can help me." She smiled and Ino adjusted herself comfortably on the couch, excitement in her shocking ice blue eyes as well.

"Back in the day, Uncle Naruto was literally the craziest kid on our block. He threw all kinds of parties, because Uncle Naruto lived with his godfather, Jiriya, who really didn't give a crap about anything except for Naruto graduating high school. The kid practically had money flowing from every opening in his body. And he always bought me stuff; he had the biggest crush on me since we were five." Sakura laughed at the silliness at the memories. Her daughter stared at her, mouth open and wide eyes.

"Uncle Naruto liked you momma? EWWW! Gross!" She shouted, flailing her arms and sticking out her tongue in disgust. Ino burst out laughing and Sakura blushed.

"Well honey…he was cute back then." Sakura admitted and her daughter made a face.

"But you loved daddy right?" She asked and Sakura's throat caught a lump of depression. She swallowed it and smiled sadly.

"Of course honey. Anyway, do you want me to finish this?" She joked and her daughter shook her head vigorously.

"Uncle Naruto decided to throw a pool party for the start of our junior year. And that was the first time I laid eyes on the most gorgeous guy in the world."

"Look at the way her eyes light up when she talks about him sweetie, that's what love looks like just so you know." Ino smiled at Sakura and she smiled back.

"She's right but we're not to that point yet. To be honest he was hot but so rude and mean. I don't know how I even fell for such a guy. Oh wait…that's why I'm telling you this," She looked down at her daughter.

"I remember being very embarrassed about my new two piece bathing suit…"

About 11 years ago

"Hey Sakura-chan! You look amazing in that new bathing suit!" A loud mouth Naruto shouted in Sakura's ear.

She flinched and turned around, gripping her pink towel wrapped around her tanned body. The alternative music wasn't even loud enough to drown Naruto out and it was unbelievably loud. She gritted her teeth, her ears buzzing. The two were standing near the speakers, grabbing a plate for snacks. She loved this song but she couldn't enjoy it because she was too worried about looking too revealing. "Jeez Naruto. Why in the world do you always have to yell?" The pinkette shouted back, staring hard at Naruto.

He grinned one of his goofy grins and she shook her head, not being able to get mad at him. She munched on a potato chip, watching all of her childhood friends playing volleyball in the pool. All of them were beautiful. Even the boys. Consciously she looked down at herself and puckered her lips in disappointment. She didn't have near the same amount of beauty as they did, and she hated it.

"You look great Sakura, now give me that," Naruto snatched her plate and towel and tossed them somewhere. Sakura was about to object, when Naruto swung her off of her feet and took off towards the pool.

"Naruto Uzumaki! Put me down now!" The girl shouted her face red from embarrassment.

"Are you sure?" he asked and she immediately regretted saying such a thing. She felt her body leave Naruto's muscular arms and saw the water getting closer. She held her breath and cold water hit her body. It felt nice, especially since it was almost a hundred degrees outside. She immersed herself in the coldness by staying under as long as her lungs would allow her. After her lungs screamed for air she emerged and wiped her eyes.

Looking around she squealed after Naruto came from underneath her and rose. She realized she was positioned carefully on his shoulders.

Sakura just laughed and her other best friend shouted, "Look out forehead!" Ino shouted, blonde hair shimmering with water. The pinkette had time to whack the volleyball Neji Hyuuga "accidently" hit too hard. His smirk made her growl, she tugged on Naruto's hair and shouted, "Forward loyal steed! Neji needs to be dealt with immediately." The pinkette shouted and her friends all separated themselves from her, Naruto, and Neji. Naruto just laughed and trudged forwards in the water. Neji didn't move though and Sakura smiled mentally, with a little twinge of evil in her eyes. With her extraordinary balance she stood on the blonde's shoulders and then looked down at Neji.

"You can either just stand still and let me throw that ball as hard as I can at you or I can jump on you from up here. Your choice girly-man." She grinned manically, knowing he hated that nickname and wanted to protect his face.

"Uh…" Neji thought carefully. TenTen, a small framed girl with muscular arms and chiseled, but feminine abs, shouted, "Just let her throw the ball. I'll still love you even if your face is permanently scarred by volleyball markings!" He glanced her way and Sakura hurled the ball full speed directly at Neji's face. Before he could turn quickly enough, the ball drilled into his face. Sakura raised her arms and shook her fists in victory.

"Victory is mine!" The girl shouted, making Naruto slightly wobbly from all of the sudden movement.

"Sakura get down before you get hurt." An adult voice shouted across the yard and Sakura climbed down slowly.

"But Jiriya-sensei, I wanted to see my lovely Sakura-chan do a youthful swan dive from Naruto's shoulders!" A bushy-eyebrow, wide eye, boy exclaimed while standing in his tiny green speedo on the diving board. Sakura shook her head at the silly boy and everyone else laughed.

"Anyway, before I was so rudely interrupted by Lee," Jiriya's long silver hair blew in the breeze as he walked closer to the pool, "you guys have a new neighbor." He side-stepped and a pale boy stood behind him, fully-clothed and apparently not happy about being there.

"That's Sasuke Uchiha," Shikamura Nara and Hinata Hyuuga stated in unison. Jiriya eyed the two for ruining his special made introduction of the young Uchiha.

"Yes you guys are correct. Say hi Sasuke," Jiriya grinned and Sasuke waved his hand swiftly before sticking it back in his pocket.

"I'm a friend of his father's, who happens to also be one of my bosses, so everyone be nice so I don't get fired." He grinned at his own joke but no one else did.

"Turn the music back on Jiriya, and come on Uchiha join in on the fun! We're the coolest people you'll ever meet!" Sakura shouted, her pink hair sticking to her face after she started jumping up and down.

"She's totally right you know." Chouji Akamichi, a round boy added, munching on a sucker. Another boy named Kiba Inuzuka and his dog, Akamura, doggie paddled around the semi-chubby boy, splashing him. His face dropped after his sucker slipped and fell into the bottom of the pool. Never mess up a fat kid and his food. They went at it for ten minutes, by splashing each other and everyone else in the pool. Everyone grabbed water guns or anything that could hold water and just started plowing each other with it.

The girls squealed trying to duck out of harm's way. Sakura climbed out of the pool and jogged over to Sasuke. He stared at her, nothing, not even a questioning look in his eyes. He was goregous and she was blushing extremely. She placed a water gun in his hands and he just looked at it.

"Never seen one before?" She asked playfully, but received a hard look instead. She frowned.

"Yes I have," he pulled the trigger and water got Sakura right in the stomach. She laughed trying to push water away from her with no good result. Her attempts soaked the kid's pants and he sighed. She snatched another gun and quickly filled it up. By the time she turned around the new kid had his shirt off, holding his gun right towards her. She grinned.

"You're annoying," was all he stated before grabbing her gun too, she was too stunned to react, and tackling her into the pool.

Present Time

"And that was the first string of rude words you're father ever said to me." Sakura frowned, remembering her first douche boy crush. Oh how silly she felt telling her cute little daughter this stupid love-hate relationship.
