Naruto and Sasuke were discharged from the hospital, However the new Hokage of Konoha declared that neither of them are to engage in any type of combat.

Team 7 was in the training grounds, when they heard footsteps coming towards their direction.

" Oye Hinata! " Naruto waved his hands to gain attention.

" What is she doing here" Sasuke mumbled to himself.

Hinata slowly reached where Team 7 was standing.

" Na-naruto kun " She spoke looking down.

" Hey hinata " The medic greeted her with a smile.

" Hn"

" I ne-need to talk to y-you " Hinata said poking her fingers like she would do when she's shy.

" Should we leave? " Sakura asked to which the Hyuuga heiress nodded.

I slipped away from Naruto leaving him to talk to her. Sakura frowned when she looked back to see Hinata slowly closing the distance between her and Naruto.

" Come on " I said grabbing Sasuke hand, and leading them farther away from the two.

" Sakura "

" Yes Sasuke? "

" I just need to ask something "

" Go ahead " Sakura gave her best smile.

Sasuke pointed at the tree behind Sakura.

" Lets talk over there " He stared into her green confused eyes.

Sasuke and Sakura walked towards the tree and sat down, their shoulders touching.

Sasuke took a deep breath exhaling the cool breeze, he moved closer to Sakura to face her and he knew too well that his actions were confusing the medic, but there was something he wanted to say.

" Sakura d-do you love me? " He said " Why do you ask " Sakura questioned in a low voice almost like a whisper .

" Because I want to know " He continued to stare at her eyes. He cupped her cheeks and leaned in closer. Their lips were only a inch apart when he stopped and asked again . " Well?"

" My feelings changed Sasuke " Sakura looked down after answering his question. She felt him get up. She immediately shot her head upwards only to be locked in the eyes of Sasuke.

He gave her a smile, when she got up . " Thanks for being honest with me " Without waiting for her reply he walked away, pretending to forget the talk they shared.

Sakura walked towards the blonde who was alone and waving to them.

" Where's Teme? " Naruto asked looking left and right.

" He left because he had something to do " The pinkette replied earning a grin from Naruto.

" That leaves the two of us " He rubbed his back with his hand.

" Naruto let's head to Ichiraku now, before it closes" Sakura grabbed his hand and headed towards the place Naruto loved.

" Man! that was good!" Naruto exclaimed eating the fifth bowl of ramen, patting his full stomach.

" Glad you loved it " Sakura smiled widely.

" People smile around the one they love " Somebody spoke from behind and it was no other than their team mate Sai. He was writing something on his notepad.

"Sai! you scared the crap out of me! " Naruto yelled and got up from his stool.

" Lets go Sakura - Chan "

Naruto took her hand without warning and took off.

After walk of 10 min they both reached the apartment hand in hand where Sakura was staying. " Thanks Naruto! see you tomorrow " She smiled taking her hand from him and opening the door with her keys. She got inside and was about to shut the door when Naruto slammed it open.

Sakura gave him a brief confused look raising a eyebrow.

" Sakura - Chan I Love you " Naruto shouted on top of his lungs clenching his fists. Without warning Naruto crashed his lips onto her roughly maybe because he was too nervous.

Sakura kissed him back which was really surprising to Naruto. He cupped her neck and pulled her closer to her. When the both parted their lips to breath . Naruto whispered

" I love you "

" I love you too " They both hugged and he knew she was his forever and there would be nothing he would give her up for.
