Troublesome woman,
I'm sorry to do this by letter, but you're far too troublesome to do it face to face. I'm going to confess something I would have preferred not to confess but anyway... I have to. You're coming in a few days and I want to tell you before because you may need some time to think about it... (well you have one day!) You're very special to me. How can I say this? I care about you... a lot. I don't want to see you in another boy's arms. I want you for only me... Am I becoming overprotective or selfish? Maybe... but it's what love does. It transforms people. If you feel at least something for me, tell me at your party when you come. Oups that should have been a secret... don't tell Sakura I told you... she'd kill me. Next time you'll see me, answer me, tell me if you like me more than a friend. Love you,
Shikamaru

Dear Naruto,
It's sad that you were away, it would have been so much more fun with you around. Damn those missions. I'm writing to you because of what happened during our little party for Temari. Remember we organised it because she was coming to prepare the chuunin exam? Well, she was happy when she discovered the party and she thanks you too but I must tell you what happened next. I was dancing downstairs with Temari and Shikamaru (they were flirting like there's no tomorrow) and I heard a big noise coming from my bedroom. I quickly went up and I discovered Ino lying on the floor and from her head, blood. I was so scared I screamed and everybody came into my room. I transferred her into the hospital: she's stable for now but she may be in a coma for some time. When I came back at home, I got to my room and a saw a paper next to where Ino had fallen. This paper was the answer from Sasuke. She must have fainted, seeing that he answered me but not her or because he loves her: I don't know. The fact is that she hurt her head against my wardrobe and because of me, she's in a coma. I can't believe I put my best friend in a coma... what friend am I? I cried all night thinking of her. Please come back soon Naruto, I'm alone again... For better news, Temari and Shika are finally together: I must have missed something because Temari just told Shikamaru she was selfish too and for the same reasons he was and next thing they were making out. Yeah I think I neglected a hint... I miss you a lot,
Sakura

Sasuke,
I'm sending you Sakura letter. You'll understand why: the same thing that happened to Ino happened to me except that I didn't end up in the hospital. You'll know why she went in the hospital by reading Sakura letter. As for me, I'll tell you what I discovered when I was organising the party. I was in Sakura bedroom, trying to find the list of things I needed to buy when I encountered a letter. It was a letter she was going to send to her mother (she must have kept it before posting it). It was talking about Sakura being promised to someone... she is going to marry a man she doesn't even know. How am I suppose to tell her that I love her now? She will reject me for sure. The worst is that I don't know who the guy is. He must be pretty strong, no? And he is going to marry Sakura... this guy doesn't know the luck he has... I'm sorry for Ino, I know how you must feel. It must be hard. I'll keep you informed of her condition. I'm here if you need any help, you can count on me.

Shika,
So... what's happening between you and Temari? You never said a thing! You're really going out with her? I thought she was too troublesome?? This is funny. We must celebrate when I come back! I hope Ino is ok, I'm sorry for you, I know she's like a sister to you, you know her since childhood. Don't give up hope. See you,
Naruto

Sakura-chan,
Don't cry. I hate to see you crying. It's not your fault Ino is in a coma, don't blame yourself. You know it's because Sasuke hasn't answered her letters and by knowing he answered you, she was probably shocked. I don't blame Sasuke either because he's doing the things he thinks are right, even if I disapprove. He should tell her he loves her... I'm so sorry he doesn't think of you like that, I know you like him. Don't be angry with me please. If you need someone, I'm here, I'll always be there for you Sakura-chan. We could go and eat ramen when I come back, maybe will it heal your heart a bit. Please don't cry again, it makes me feel sad. Promise me you won't cry before I come back. Then, I'll help you, and I'll console you. Stop blaming you. I'm coming back in two days. I miss you,

Naruto,
I'm sorry for you that your girl is kind of taken but if she likes you like I think she does, there will be no problem and she won't hesitate to reject her parent's choice. As for me, I'm really scared about Ino, I don't know what to do, I'm just waiting here and I can't do anything to help her, even if I was in Konoha. Well, if I was, this would not have happened. It's my entire fault! Can you please take care of Ino? I ask you as a best friend, please Naruto, please.
I have news, something I heard while travelling in the now instinct whirlpool country. When I was there, they were telling the tale of a woman. She was one of the last resident of the whirlpool country and one day, she travelled to the Fire country and had fallen in love with a man. The legend continues and says that this man was the fourth Hokage. They were inseparable and they had a son that was born and disappeared the same day: the day they both died, when the Kyuubi attacked Konoha. The name of that woman was Kushina Uzumaki.
Naruto, you must be the disappeared son of the fourth Hokage. You took your mother's name and never knew about your heritage. Hope it will make you happy,
Sasuke

Naruto,
Temari and I are, in fact, going out. I'm soooo happy. I had waited for a long time. I still don't believe she likes me. I love her so much, she would be afraid if I told her! We are going on dates every day. We are growing closer and closer, it's troublesome and I like it very much. I can't live without her, she brings me the peace and the motivation I need, she's not afraid of telling me when I cross the line. She's perfect for me and I couldn't have dreamed of a better girl. The only negative news is that Ino is in a coma and we don't know when she will wake up (if she wakes up). I'm going to visit her every day and I bring her flowers. I think Temari doesn't like it very much but she should understand that Ino and I were best friends and that I can't let her down when she needs me. When are you coming back? I need someone to help me around all those troublesome girls. See ya,
Shikamaru

Dear Naruto,
I'm going on a mission for a few days so we won't be able to see each other till I come back. Thanks for your letter, it comforted me when I needed to... How many times do I have to tell you that I don't like Sasuke like I used to? He's my best friend, like he is for you! I'm glad he likes Ino! I'm so happy for her, well not really because he doesn't want to tell her, but I hope they will sort things out one day. I'm sad I won't see you... I miss you,
Sakura

Dear Ino
I'm so sorry, all that is happening because of me. I just wish you wake up and read my letter like nothing has ever happened. I regret not sending you letters, I always thought it will be the best choice. But it wasn't. Now I know I shouldn't have kept my feelings inside of me, I should have let them come out and let you know. You're in a coma, and you will maybe never know. I'm offering you this ring as a promise ring. I promise I will always love you and that I'll come back someday for you, not to stay but if you want to come with me, I will not stop you. I hope you'll wake up soon. I love you,
Sasuke

Sasuke,
Hey teme, Shikamaru is already taking care of your girl so don't worry about that. She's like a sister to him so she will be fine with him around. If something happens, I'll let you know. Her condition seemed to have stabilized and the medics are hoping she will wake up soon. If she doesn't, they don't know what will happen. About my legacy, I don't believe it entirely. How could the fourth that I admire so much be my father? How could he have put the demon in his own child? But, if it's true, I'll be extremely happy but I won't tell anybody because I want people to acknowledge me for me and not for whom I am related to.

Dear Sakura,
Since you're away, I'm writing to you to know what is on your mind lately. Before you went on your mission, I notice that you were distant and absent sometimes. Is something bothering you? I know there is. And I know that it's not only Ino. Please tell me, maybe I can help you.
As for me and Shikamaru, everything is fine, we're dating often and he is an awesome kisser! I hate to admit that he is the one for me... For a few days, I saw that he is often visiting Ino and I'm kind of worried. I hope it's going to pass. I asked him to be with me a little bit more (even if we're like always together) but I don't like it when he's going to see Ino. I miss you already,
Temari

Dear Temari,
Don't be like that, you know that Shika is just friend with Ino... It's normal that he visits her, isn't it? I'm pretty sure that I'm falling in love... I can't bear to be away from him and I miss him so much. I'm coming back in two days, I'm eager to see him. I love Naruto Uzumaki. Can you believe it? The baka, incomprehensible, unpredictable, funny, incredible, gorgeous Naruto! Please don't tell him yet, I'm going to do it very soon. Miss you too,
Sakura

Naruto to Shikamaru:
I don't have much time. I'm going for good, no time to explain. Give my apology to everyone in Konoha. I'll miss you all. Good bye.
