Chapter 4 the continuation

Nate: why does kishimoto torture me by owning Naruto?

Kishimoto: because you won't use that awesome brain to write for me.

Nate: good point gai why won't I write for him

Gai sensei: because of the power of youth!

Rasengan! Naruto shouted defeating the last of the nuke ninja "Naruto what do you think happened to sasuke kun and Sakura Chan" Hinata asked Naruto "honestly Hinata I don't know but, even though they abandoned us it's our duty to find and help them no matter what." "byakugan "Hinata stated activating her kekei genkai. "lets go" Naruto added jumping off.

"I have to save him I can't lose him again." Sakura thought running as fast as possible. She was halted by 3 kumo nin with their katanas held in front of them. "Look what we have here." one of the men leered. "Shannaro" Sakura wasted no time dispatching the nin in front of her with a left hook. "out of my way." She swung at another who barely dodged and struck out with his sword grazing her shoulder. She ignored the stinging sensation from the wound and swung at the man again smirking when she heard a sickening crunch signaling broken bones.

"not much of challenge are we." Sakura taunted at the last nin who wore a mask and who still hadn't moved standing there as though observing her. He slowly went through hand signs stopping at the tiger seal and inhaling deeply. "katon hibashira." Shooting a pillar of fire at her she was momentarily paralyzed from a kumo nin performing a fire technique. When they usually had an affinity with lightning. She attempted to dodge and was almost hit when she heard a cry of "eight trigrams air palm." Hinata yelled sending a blast of wind towards the fire deflecting it. "are you okay Sakura Chan? " Hinata asked "yes thanks." Sakura replied "where's Naruto." Her question was answered when she heard a cry of "oodama rasengan" he yelled aiming for the masked mans chest.

Surprisingly the attack went right through him. "what the hell." Naruto exclaimed the man aimed a punch at Naruto and swiped his jaw Naruto retaliated and it went through him again. "why can't I hit him?" Naruto wondered aloud 'he has to materialize to hit me, so if I attack then I should hit.' Naruto thought. "kage bushin no jutsu" he summoned three clones two who charged a rasengan and one who ran head on with a kunai. The one who ran in with a kunai was easily dispatched as the Naruto who charged the rasengan jumped up throwing shurikin which went through him as the Naruto with the rasengan charged head on. The attack went straight through and then the masked man threw a right hook which caught the clone in the midsection. "rasengan!" the real Naruto yelled as he came crashing down from the air attack in hand.

The masked man was completely unharmed except for a piece of his mask which was charred and broken. "Not bad Uzumaki that was fun." The man stated calmly. "wait how you know my name." Naruto asked "oh I know a lot of things especially your father minato the yondaime. Tell sasuke ill be back for him. As for you next time we meet I look forward to finishing what me and your dad started." With that the masked man sucked himself in. but not before Naruto Sakura and Hinata caught a glimpse of his sharingan eye.

"figures an uchiha I couldn't see a kumo nin putting up that kind of fight." Naruto explained. "but I thought the only remaining uchihas were sasuke and itachi." Hinata asked. "well apparently not." Naruto reasoned. "Sakura are you okay?" Naruto asked. "yes but where's sasuke kun?" Sakura inquired. "I don't know let's look for him so we can head back." Naruto finished walking ahead of the two kunoichis.

Hinata found sasuke lying on the ground unconscious seemingly wounded from his battle with the masked man. 'If it wasn't for Naruto and Hinata I would be dead right now." Sakura thought to herself while walking home. "when will I be strong enough so that idiot doesn't keep risking his life for me?" Naruto went to see tsunade to explain in detail what happened on the mission while everyone else went home.

Sakura stepped out of the shower to hear her doorbell ring. "who is it?" She called looking through the keyhole to find spiky blonde hair. "Naruto." The hyperactive blonde called back. She stepped back to open the door "Naruto what are you doing here this late?" she questioned letting him in. "I just wanted to check on you, you seemed kind of distracted sense the mission." He explained "I'm fine I just had a lot on my mind recently." She answered back. "do you want to talk about it?" he questioned "sure why not." She said taking a seat on the couch fully aware of his blush. Realizing it was because she was clad only in a towel she excused herself to put on her pajamas. "so what's up?" he called why she was getting dressed,

"well the masked man has been bugging me. He lured us out on a fake trip to fight you and capture sasuke." She explained. "and your point" he coaxed. "my point is we were helpless against him he demolished us." Sakura reasoned "well we didn't really fight that hard." Naruto tried to defend. "but what if next time I'm not there and sasuke dies because no one was there to heal his wounds. 'or you' she thought to herself. 'so this is about sasuke Naruto thought dejectedly he's the one she cares about.' "I'm sure he'll be fine sasuke is just as strong as me it would take a lot to bring us down. Naruto stated confidently.

"I don't know I guess I just worry about you two if something was to happen I don't know what I'll do." Sakura admitted Naruto smiled grateful that she cared enough about him to include him in that. "Sakura I made you the promise of a lifetime that no matter what I'll bring sasuke back." "baka worry about yourself first I care just as much about you as sasuke." Sakura admitted "oh yeah." Naruto teased stepping closer. "yeah "she answered back not budging

Naruto pinned her against the wall with both arms as she gasped from his sudden move. "now I know you wouldn't mind if sasuke did this he whispered huskily against her cheek. She was caught gasping for air as his lips grazed hers seductively and in the instant he was there he was gone in a swirl of leaves with a "goodnight Sakura chan." Dam nit I'm going to need a shower I didn't think Naruto could do that. 'maybe I have more feelings for him than I thought. Sakura admitted to herself reentering the shower fixing what Naruto had left undone.
