"Kakashi, what exactly is the mission," he asked as they both raced to find Sakura.
"From what Tsunade told me, Orochimaru has gained strength in his arms and is plotting to attack the village again." Kakashi had looked over at Naruto. The expression on his face looked like he was being stabbed with a thousand kunais.
"When is he coming," he asked with a paniced sound in his voice. He sared at Kakashi with a wide eyes.
"We don't know, but we believe we know his location, that's where we come in."
"We have to go find him and attempt to kill him," he asked
"You catch on fast." After about an hour they found Sakura and explained the mission.
"You both have a day to prepare," Kakashi said, "I'll see you bright and early tommorow." In an instant he was off, going to prepare for the fierce battle. Naruto turned to face Sakura.
"I hope you know my face still hurts from before," he stood, anger was rising in his voice.
"Really? That makes me feel alot better." She laughed, amusing herself by angering him.
"Sakura, it's not funny! I don't why you have to be such a bitch to me! All I ever do is try to be nice to you and you turn around and slap me across the face with it! I bet it's all because Sasuke left! Don't take your anger out on me!" Sakura was staring at him for a long time. After a while tears started to form in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away. Narutos emotion then turned from anger to guilt. He couldn't stand it when she cried. He had seen it before, when he saw it, it's like watching something he loved drop dead right before him.
"Sakura, I'm sorry, I didn't me-," but he was cut off as Sakura put her hand up.
"You had all the right in the world to yell at me. I'm the one who should apologize, not you. I'm sorry, Naruto." She slowly turned to walk away but was stopped by Naruto.
"No it's ok, I shouldn't be sorry. You've been upset and I've just been making it worse." She turned and looked at him, her eyes wide with dis-belief. She thought that Naruto of all people couldn't be as emotional as he was now. He turned to walk away until he was stopped by Sakura.
"Yes, Sakura," He asked as he turned to look at her. Then without warning she jumped into his arms and kissed him on deep on the lips. Naruto had stumbled back a few feet, not seeing this coming at all, but then just stood there and let her kiss him. From behind a tree, Hinata had been watching the whole time. Hinata stared in disbelief, thinking anyone but Sakura would ever kiss Naruto. She wiped away any tears that came, and continued to watch.
