"Kurama/Inner Sakura"
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, if I did part 3 would feature something like this story (Don't you think this would make a much better story than the rehashed bullshit we're gonna get in part 3 with these new kids, which I refuse to read or support)
Naruto Uzumaki sat on top of his father's head on the Hokage Monument. It was just past sunrise, as he gazed over most of the village. He paid no mind to the sprawling skyscrapers behind him. He just wanted to focus on the original and serene village that laid before him. The blonde jinchuriki had left his home early, and decided to clear his head.
It had been a little under two months since Naruto had started his secret relationship with Sakura. Since their first romp in his office, they had done the deed on a handful of other occasions. They were always careful, only doing it when they were absolutely sure they wouldn't be caught. But that didn't stop them from almost being caught on one occasion by Bolt and Sarada. Naruto chuckled as the memory replayed in his mind. It had been about two weeks ago when this event had happened.
Sakura sat in Naruto's lap, as they passionately kissed one another. Naruto had just managed to to completely empty out the Hokage tower that day. He sent Shikamaru out on a bunch of easy tasks around the village, but since Shikamaru was so lazy it would take him several hours to complete the menial tasks. Shizune, he had sent out to watch over Lady Tsunade, who had been spotted in a gambling den just outside of Konoha. Then Naruto had given the rest of his staff the day off, and he had rescheduled the two meetings he had planned for that day.
Naruto had just managed snake his tongue into Sakura's mouth, when he heard several rapid knocks at his door. Both adult's eyes shot open as they scrambled off each other. Naruto quickly motioned for Sakura to hide under his desk. She resisted the idea at first, but when she heard the person behind the door speak she quickly changed her mind.
"Dad!" Bolt called out from behind the door. "It's me and Sarada, can we come in and ask you something real quick?"
Hearing Naruto's son mention that her daughter was there caused Sakura's eyes to widen further. If it had just been Bolt, Sakura would have been fine with slinking onto the couch and acting like nothing had happened. But her daughter was a very observant little girl. She would most likely immediately notice that something had been going in the room. So Sakura swiftly hid underneath the desk, and tried to keep as quiet as possible.
"Uh sure thing Bolt come on in!" Naruto called out, just as Sakura got settled in underneath the desk.
"Hey dad!" Bolt said with a big grin as he walked into the office. He was followed closely by Sarada, who gave Naruto a quick smile and a wave.
"Hello Naruto," Sarada greeted, as she adjusted her glasses.
"Hey kids," Naruto said with a forced smile. Naruto loved his son, but he couldn't have picked a worse time to come and visit him. Especially since Sakura's daughter was with him as well.
As Naruto talked with the kids, Sakura kept a hand over her mouth so the children wouldn't hear her. Sakura was still highly aroused from their previous makeout session. So when she saw Naruto's erection straining the fabric of his pants, she couldn't stop herself. As quickly and quietly as possible, Sakura reached out and unzipped Naruto's pants. She then swiftly guided his shaft through the opening in his boxers. Then with a perverted grin, Sakura took the head into her mouth.
"So what can I do for you kids?" Naruto asked with hidden irritation. The blonde jinchuriki had to hold back a screech when he felt his pants being unzipped.
"We were just wondering if you knew where Auntie Sakura was?" Bolt asked as he walked up to Naruto's desk. "We were hoping she could take us to the movies."
"Yeah! We want to see that new movie Princess Koyuki is in!" Sarada cheered, as hearts appeared in her eyes. "I love Princess Koyuki, she's my favorite actress!"
"I'm sorry kids, but I don't know where Sakura-chan is." Naruto said through gritted teeth, as he felt his manhood be pulled out of his boxers. But Naruto knew exactly where Sakura was, and he had no fucking idea what she was planning.
"Aww man that sucks!" Bolt whined, as he plopped down on the couch.
"AH! I can never find my mom when I need her!" Sarada exclaimed, as she angrily sat down next to Bolt.
"Like I said kids I'm soRRY!" Naruto screamed the last part, as he felt Sakura's warm and wet mouth wrap around his cock.
"You alright dad?" Bolt asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Y-Yeah I-I'm f-fine." Naruto stuttered out through clenched teeth, as he tired to hold back a moan. "I-I just stubbed my t-toe."
"You sure you're alright Naruto?" Sarada asked with a suspicious look. "Your face is all red."
"You gotta be fucking kidding me! Why does Sakura-chan's kid have to be so damn smart?!" Naruto thought, as he frantically thought of an excuse.
"HA! I love this kid!" Kurama laughed with a wicked grin on his face.
"Suck my dick furball!" Naruto roared at the Kyuubi.
"As much as I'd 'love' to do that," Kurama said in a sarcastic tone. "Someone already has taken that job."
"I hate you so much right now." Naruto groaned, causing Kurama to let out a loud laugh.
"I love you too gaki." Kurama said with a grin, as he laid his head on his arms. "Just try not to 'blow' your cover."
"If you weren't sealed inside me I would literally kill you." Naruto said, as he glared at Kurama.
"Sure you would gaki, sure you would." Kurama said with a snort. "You may want to say something to pinkie's daughter. Knowing how observant she is, she might have noticed that you've been completely zoned out for the past three seconds."
"Oh shit!" Naruto screamed as he left the confines of his mind.
"Stupid gaki," Kurama said with smile, as he prepared to watch the events unfold.
Naruto blinked several times, as he returned to full consciousness. He looked to see that Sarada was still eyeing him suspiciously.
"Ugh I'm fine Sarada," Naruto said with another forced smile. At that moment Sakura had started to deep throat Naruto's shaft, making him nearly gasp in surprise. "I've just haven't been feeling well the past few days."
"Really?" Bolt asked suddenly. "Because I haven't noticed you acting sick up until now."
"Damnit Bolt!" Naruto inwardly groaned.
"I've just been pretending to fine, so I wouldn't worry your mother. You know how she can be." Naruto said, which Bolt seemed to buy. But Sarada still seemed kind of skeptical.
Naruto was sweating bullets under Sarada's analyzing gaze. Her eyes scanned every inch of Naruto, and looked for anything out of the ordinary. But after a few more moments Sarada seemed satisfied and shrugged.
"Okay, thank you Naruto." Sarada said as she stood up from the couch. "If we see my mom we'll send her here to check up on you. Come on Bolt let's see if Auntie Ino can take us."
"Sure thing!" Bolt exclaimed as he shot off the couch. "Bye dad!"
"Bye kids," Naruto said through grit teeth, as the kids ran out of the room.
As soon as the door closed, Naruto immediately looked down to see Sakura smirking at him.
"You're evil you know that." Naruto said with a grin.
"You loved it, and you know it." Sakura said, as she licked up the length of Naruto's cock.
"Kami you know me too well." Naruto groaned out, as Sakura took his manhood back into her mouth.
That was the one and only time Naruto and Sakura had come close to being caught. As much as the situation had excited Naruto, he was in no hurry to scar his kid for life. Besides his sexual relationship with Sakura, a lot of other things had changed in Naruto's life. The blonde Hokage was now much happier, and was much more energetic at work. This seemed to have rubbed off on his staff, which often turned the Hokage Mansion into a very lively place.
Naruto's relationship with Bolt had drastically improved over the past two months. Bolt now looked up to Naruto, and loved to spend time with him. Now, thanks to a good scolding from Sakura, Naruto would try his best to always make time for his children. Because when Sakura had heard about how Naruto used to treat Bolt; She immediately marched over to Naruto's office, kicked open the door, and delivered a harsh slap to his face. Then Naruto had received the harshest scolding he had ever received from Sakura. The pinkette was absolutely livid at him. After her intense scolding, she ordered Naruto to find Bolt and spend time with him. Naruto had tried to weakly argue, and said that he had a meeting to attend. This was the wrong thing to say, as Sakura immediately slapped him again.
"Fuck those old geezers on the council!" Sakura had screamed, as she picked Naruto up by his collar. "You get your ass out of this office, and you spend time with your child. Or Kami help me, I will kick your ass to Suna and back, TWICE!"
Naruto stared at Sakura wide-eyed for a moment, before a smile spread across his face.
"Kami I love you," Naruto said with a stupid grin. "Hinata would have never said anything like that. She would have just let me keep doing what I was doing. But not you, you don't take my shit. When I do something wrong you set my ass straight, and that's one of the reasons I love you."
Sakura's face quickly flushed red, as she lowered Naruto back to the floor.
"Get out of here, and go find your kid you damn masochist." Sakura said with burning red face, as she pointed towards the door.
"Will do Sakura-chan!" Naruto exclaimed, as he kissed Sakura on the forehead. He then quickly ran out the busted door.
Sakura sighed, and tried to calm her raging blush. But then she heard a familiar sigh come from the doorway. Quickly turning around, Sakura saw Shikamaru standing in the wrecked doorway.
"*Sigh* Could you two be more troublesome?" Shikamaru drawled out as he put his hands in his pockets. "Now we're gonna have to pay to get these damages fixed."
"Shikamaru!" Sakura gasped, as she was filled with fear. "How much did you see?"
"Don't worry Sakura," Shikamaru said as he stepped in the Naruto's office. "I already know about you two. Naruto came and asked me for advice a few days ago."
"Oh," Sakura said as relief started to wash through her. "So are you gonna tell anyone about us?"
"No, that would be too troublesome." Shikamaru lazily replied, as he plopped down in a chair. "I'll be honest with you Sakura, I don't necessarily approve of what you and Naruto are doing. But it's very obvious that you two aren't happy with you current relationships, and I can tell that you both have a strong love for each other. So as long as you two are careful, and don't put Naruto's job at risk, I won't say a word."
"Thank you Shikamaru!" Sakura exclaimed, as she pulled the pineapple haired man in for a hug.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Shikamaru said as he sunk back into the seat he was in. "You might want to leave before someone catches you in here."
"Crap!" Sakura exclaimed as she looked around the trashed office. "I'll see you around Shikamaru."
With that Sakura bolted out of the office.
"Damn women are troublesome." Shikamaru with a sigh, as he closed his eyes.
Ever since that day, Naruto always tried to make time for his two kids. He would often take Bolt out for ramen after school, much to the Ichiraku's delight. They had missed their number one customer, who frequented the ramen stand much less now that he was Hokage. Naruto had stopped getting upset at Bolt for his pranks, and on more than one occasion he had actually joined his son on one of his pranks. The blonde Hokage had also started to help his son train, which delighted Bolt to no end. Naruto couldn't be happier, because Bolt was smiling much more than usual.
Then there was Sarada. Naruto was surprised at how close they had become. Sarada would often come to Naruto for advice, and would come and ask him questions constantly. Naruto assumed that Sarada was using him as a sort of surrogate father, since she barely knew her own father. After a while, Naruto had started to really enjoy Sarada's company. The young girl was extremely smart and very witty, much like her mother. Eventually Naruto started to see Sarada as a second daughter. Then much to Sakura's displeasure, Naruto started to spoil Sarada. Naruto would often sneak Sarada sweats, or buy her little gifts. Naruto really loved Sakura's daughter, and didn't mind spoiling her every now and then. The blonde Hokage grinned as he watched the sunrise.
But the relationship that Naruto was happiest with, was his relationship with Sakura. To Naruto's surprise, they had actually grown even closer together. Aside from the sex, the moments Naruto treasured the most were when he would just silently hold Sakura in his arms. Naruto loved the times where he could just hug Sakura close, and listen to her soft breathing. One time, Naruto and Sakura were sitting in the same place he was right now. They watched the sunset over the village, as Sakura sat in between Naruto's legs. Her head was resting against his chest, as he softly stroked her pink locks. At that moment, Naruto was completely content. He couldn't have asked for a more perfect moment together with the woman he loved most in the world. So later that night, after Sakura had fallen asleep against his chest. He gently picked her up, and carried her home. Quietly sneaking into Sakura's home, Naruto gently placed Sakura onto her bed, and tucked her under the covers. He placed a soft kiss onto her forehead, and silently promised that they would have many more moments like they had, had that day.
Naruto let out a content sigh, as he watched the Sun fully rise over the horizon.
"It's the dawn of a new day." Naruto thought with a smile, as the Sun bathed the village in early morning light.
But a frown suddenly spread across Naruto's face. He knew as soon as Sasuke returned, that all this new happiness would likely shatter apart.
"Dad?" Naruto asked quietly, preparing to do something that he had done many times before. "I hope you're listening, because I need some help here."
Naruto groaned and ran his hands through growing blonde hair.
"I don't know if you've been watching what's been going on in my life. But I've gotten myself into a tough situation here. I don't know if you or mom would approve of what I'm doing, but I know that I'm making the right decision. I've made some mistakes in my life, and I'm going to fix them." Naruto took a deep breath, and looked into the sky. "So please dad, give me the strength to make it through this, and help guide me to make the right decisions."
A sudden gust of wind gently washed over Naruto. He smiled and gently patted the stone head he was sitting on.
"Thanks dad," Naruto said as he returned his gaze to the sunrise.
After watching over the village for a few more minutes, Naruto felt a presence appear behind him.
"What do you want Shikamaru?" Naruto asked as he stood up. "Come here to drag me to work?"
"No," Shikamaru said as he pulled out a cigarette. He quickly lit the cigarette and inhaled deeply. Letting out a deep sigh, Shikamaru puffed out the smoke. "Sasuke was spotted a few minutes ago. He should be back in the village in about two hours."
Naruto's eyes widened as he turned towards the village gates. The day he had been dreading for two months had finally come. The day Sasuke would finally return home.
Sakura was humming to herself, as she made breakfast. She had just cracked a few eggs when rapid knocks at the front door stopped her.
"Sakura-chan open up!" Naruto exclaimed as he pounded on the door. "We need to talk!"
Sakura huffed and and quickly opened the door.
"What are you doing you baka!?" Sakura hissed as she slapped Naruto upside the head. "Sarada's still sleeping, and you could wake up the whole neighborhood with that knocking!"
"But Sakura-chan, Sasuke's back." Naruto said, making Sakura's eyes widen.
"W-What?" Sakura asked in a low tone.
"He was spotted just outside the village. He should be back in a few hours." Naruto said as he ran his hands through his hair.
"What are we gonna do?!" Sakura exclaimed, as she began to be overwhelmed by panic. "I'm not ready to confront him yet! Naruto, I'm freaking out here!"
Sakura started to hyperventilate, as she clutched a hand over her rapidly beating heart. But all her worries were pushed aside when Naruto placed a gentle kiss on her lips. When their lips separated, Sakura's heart had stopped beating erratically and she had a content smile on her face.
"Better now?" Naruto asked with a grin.
"Much," Sakura said with a smile, as she laid her head against Naruto's chest. "It's really time isn't it?"
"Yeah," Naruto replied, as he soothingly rubbed Sakura's back.
"I was kinda hoping this day would never come." Sakura said, as she relished Naruto's warm embrace.
"Well it's come, and we both need to do this." Naruto said as he placed a soft kiss on Sakura's forehead. "Sakura-chan I love you so much."
"I love you too Naruto." Sakura said with a warm smile, as she pulled Naruto into tight hug.
They both held each other tightly, and enjoyed each other's embrace.
"Uh, am I interrupting anything?" A sleepy voice asked.
Naruto and Sakura shot off each other immediately. Sakura turned around to see Sarada standing there, as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"OH! It's nothing Sarada," Sakura said with a not to convincing smile. "Naruto just came over to say good morning. But he was just about to leave, because he has some very important business to take care of."
"I do?" Naruto asked with a confused look on his face.
Sakura quickly spun around and glared at Naruto.
"Yes," Sakura hissed. "You have something important to discuss with Hinata, don't you?"
"OH! That's right!" Naruto exclaimed, as he turned towards the door. "Bye Sakura-chan!"
Sakura sighed as soon as Naruto left her home. She turned to see Sarada staring at her, one eyebrow raised in suspicion.
"Uh, why don't you eat breakfast then go hang out with Bolt for a while." Sakura said as she walked over to her bag, and pulled out some money. "Here take this, and go to the movies or something."
Sarada looked down at the money in her hand for a moment, before she looked up at her mother. She stared at Sakura for a few moments, making her start to sweat bullets. But after a few moments Sarada shrugged, and walked off into the kitchen. Sakura let out at sigh of relief when her daughter left the room.
"Okay I can do this." Sakura thought as she walked back into the kitchen. "Today I will end things with Sasuke, once and for all."
Naruto had been standing in front of the front door to his home for what seemed like days. He was trying muster up the courage to do what he was about to do. The blonde Hokage knew there would be tears, lots of them. And he knew that there would likely be fallout for his actions. But he knew he had to do this.
"Alright here goes nothing." Naruto thought as he reached for the doorknob.
"You can do this Naruto." Kurama said within Naruto's mind.
"Thanks Kurama." Naruto thought with a smile as he walked through his front door.
Naruto immediately spotted Hinata, as he walked into his home. She was sitting on a couch in the living room, and she appeared to be reading a book. When the door had closed, Hinata looked up from her book. She was slightly surprised to see Naruto back home so soon.
"Naruto-kun?" Hinata said in a surprised tone, as she set her book down. "What are you doing back home so soon?"
Naruto quickly scanned the room to make sure that they were alone.
"Where are the kids?" Naruto asked as he turned back to Hinata.
"Sarada just came by and picked up Bolt, and Himawari went to play at the park with a bunch of her friends. Shino said he would watch them, so they should be fine. " Hinata replied with a confused look on her face.
Naruto walked over, and with a deep sigh sat next to his wife.
"Hinata we need to talk." Naruto said, as he felt his heart rate spike.
"Oh, what do you want to talk about?" Hinata asked, as a sweet smile spread across her face.
Seeing that smile made Naruto's heart break. He knew he'd be the one to wipe that smile off of her face for a long time. It was almost enough to make him call off this whole arrangement. But Naruto mentally slapped himself, and steeled himself for what he was about to do.
"We need to talk about us." Naruto said after a few moments.
"Us?" Hinata asked, as worry started to course through her.
With a deep sigh Naruto finally said the words that would break Hinata's heart.
"I think we should end our relationship." Naruto said, as he looked Hinata in the eyes.
"W-What?" Hinata asked, as her eyes went wide. "Y-You want a d-divorce."
Naruto solemnly nodded, causing tears to build up in the corners of Hinata's eyes.
"I'm sorry Hinata, I should never have started a relationship with you in the first place." Naruto said, as the first tears fell from Hinata's eyes. "I never truly loved you romantically."
"Y-You never l-loved me?" Hinata stuttered out, as tears continued to pour from her eyes. "B-But what about e-everything that h-happened during the mission to rescue H-Hanabi."
Again Naruto sighed, and ran his hands through his hair.
"After we got caught in that genjutsu my feelings became so mixed and confused. I saw how you had always had feelings for me, so I felt guilty for not acknowledging them for so long. I felt as if I was kind of obligated to return your feelings." Naruto said, as anger flashed in Hinata's eyes.
"So you took pity on me?" Hinata asked in a harsh tone.
Naruto flinched at Hinata's tone, but he still nodded.
"Well I don't need you pity!" Hinata suddenly screamed. She started to breath heavily, as she glared at Naruto. "How long?"
"Huh?" Naruto responded with a confused look.
"How long have you wanted to end this relationship?!" Hinata exclaimed, making Naruto jump slightly in his seat. He had never seen Hinata so furious before.
"I've wanted to end things for about fours years now," Naruto admitted.
"What spurred this on?" Hinata asked, continuing her questioning.
Naruto hesitated for a moment, but he knew it was best to just tell Hinata.
"I'm still in love with Sakura-chan, I never stopped loving her." Naruto said, as pure rage spread across Hinata's face.
"After all that bitch has done to you!" Hinata screamed, as she stood up. "You still love her after all the shit she has put you through."
Naruto immediately stood to his full height, and glared at Hinata.
"Do. Not. Call. Sakura. A. Bitch!" Naruto yelled the last part, making Hinata step back. "She is my best friend, she has been by my side through thick and thin, she has been a constant pillar of support for me. Very few people have supported me like Sakura has."
"But I've always supported you too!" Hinata screamed, as fresh tears poured from her eyes.
"No you haven't," Naruto said, making Hinata's eyes widen. "You didn't start supporting me openly until the war. Before that you were always hiding behind things, and following me around. Silently worshiping me, like I was some kind of idol." Naruto paused and took a shaky breath. "Yeah Sakura-chan was mean to me when we were younger, but she's grown up. She's shown me how much strength and determination she truly has. She has worked her ASS OFF! To get to where she is now, and she was by my side the whole way. We went through so much together, that I cannot even begin to express the intimate bond I share with her. I would gladly give up my title as Hokage if it would make her smile even for a second."
Hinata gasped when she heard this. She knew how important being Hokage was to Naruto, and she was stunned to hear him say he would give up his dream job for Sakura.
"Maybe," Naruto said harshly, snapping Hinata out of her stupor. "If you hadn't followed me around like some lost, love sick puppy, and actually tried talking with me then maybe we could have had a relationship together. But you barely ever said a word to me, you never wanted to just hang out with me. The only time we were ever together was during missions, even then you kept your distance! Sakura would always talk with me, and she wasn't afraid to ask me things. Plus she would always try to make time for me if I wanted to hang out with her. Sure she would act all annoyed, but I could tell that she enjoyed spending time with me."
"B-But she loves Sasuke-san," Hinata weakly argued.
Naruto chuckled darkly when heard this.
"No she doesn't," Naruto said with a smirk, making Hinata's eye widen. "She loves me."
"W-What!?" Hinata nearly screamed out, as her whole body trembled.
"She told me that she loves a few months ago." Naruto explained, causing Hinata to sit back down on the couch. "She's loved me ever since I returned from my training trip with ero-sennin. But she never told me, because her feelings for me were so confused."
"But once she figured out her feelings why didn't she ever confess to you?" Hinata asked with renewed confidence.
"Because of you," Naruto said simply.
"What?" Hinata asked, somewhat dumbfounded.
"After she saw you jump in front of Pein, and confess your love to me, she decided that she didn't deserve to love me. That she wasn't worthy to have my love when you were willing to risk your life to confess to me. She felt that she would be a terrible woman for taking me from you."
Hinata just sat on the couch stunned by what she had just heard. Tears continued to stream from her eyes, as Naruto sat back down next to her.
"What about Sasuke-san?" Hinata asked suddenly.
"Sakura is going to end things with him when he gets back." Naruto said, as he placed a comforting hand on Hinata's shoulder.
"So this it, we're really ending things between us?" Hinata asked, as she choked back a sob.
Naruto sadly nodded, and gently squeezed Hinata's shoulder.
"I'm sorry for letting things get so involved between us Hinata." Naruto said with a heavy sigh. "I should have ended things sooner, way before we had kids."
"Kami!" Hinata suddenly gasped. "What about the kids?"
"I know this will be hard on them, but they're both tough kids. So I know that they'll eventually get through this. " Naruto replied with a sad smile. "I think Himawari should stay with you though."
"What about Bolt?" Hinata asked, as she wiped away her tears.
"I'll take care of him. I've neglected him for so long, I have to make up for that. I know he'll be pissed at me for awhile because of this, but once he gets over this I want to be there and make up for all the shit I've put him through."
Hinata sadly nodded, as she stood up.
"I understand." Hinata said solemnly, as she walked towards the front door. "I'm gonna pick up Himawari, and go to the Hyuuga compound. We can discuss the divorce tomorrow."
Naruto followed Hinata to the door. He stopped her right before she could leave.
"Hinata I'm sorry for everything I've done to you." Naruto said as he looked at the floor, self anger flowing through him. "I've caused you nothing but pain, and I'll understand if you never want to see me again."
Naruto was surprised when he felt a gentle kiss on his cheek. He looked up to see Hinata staring at him, fresh tears in her eyes.
"It's true Naruto-kun I am hurt right now, but I could never hate you. You'll always have a special place in my heart." Hinata said with a sad smile.
Naruto stepped forward and pulled Hinata in for a tight hug. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and pulled him closer to her body. Naruto could feel Hinata's tears wetting his shoulder, so he pulled her closer.
"Hinata I hope that after all of this is over we can still be friends." Naruto said as he released Hinata.
"I'd like that," Hinata said as she tried her best to wipe away her tears. "Well I have to go now, goodbye Naruto-kun."
"Goodbye Hinata, and again I'm so sorry." Naruto said, as Hinata turned to leave.
Hinata didn't reply, because she felt new tears forming in the corners of her eyes. So without looking back, Hinata left to go find her daughter. Naruto gently closed the door as soon as Hinata was out of sight. He walked back into the living room, and sat back down on the couch. He ran his hands over his face, and let out a sigh of relieve. The worst part was over, and it wasn't nearly as bad as he thought it would be. Hopefully he would be able to salvage his relationship with Hinata, and they could still be friends after all this was over. Naruto groaned and leaned back on the couch. He laid his head back, and stared at the ceiling above him. A single thought going through his mind.
"I hope everything goes alright with Sakura-chan."
In the other side of the village, Sakura patiently waited for Sasuke to return home. She fidgeted with anxiousness as she waited for Sasuke to arrive. Just as she was starting to get nervous, Sakura sensed someone approaching her front door. She heard the jangling of keys, before the door unlocked and swung open.
Sasuke stepped into the house, and sighed as he took off his tunic. He placed it on a chair near the door, it was then that Sasuke spotted Sakura staring at him.
"Hey Sakura," Sasuke said as he walked into the kitchen.
Sakura scoffed as she followed after Sasuke.
"You've been gone almost 5 months, and all you say to me is hey." Sakura said in an annoyed tone, as she watched Sasuke drink a glass of water.
Sasuke shrugged, as he downed the glass of water.
"How's Sarada been," Sasuke said as he gazed around the room. He then started to walk into the living room. "Actually where is Sarada?"
"She's out with Bolt," Sakura said as she picked up Sasuke's tunic. She was about to hang it up, but then something unexpected happened. An unfamiliar scent hit Sakura's nose. The pinkette instantly recognized it as perfume. Sakura immediately stormed after Sasuke. She found him back in the living room, relaxing on the couch.
Sasuke looked up to see Sakura glaring at him.
"What?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We need to talk Sasuke." Sakura said with anger in her voice.
Sasuke was caught off guard when he heard the -kun suffix dropped from his name.
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?" Sasuke asked, as he got comfortable.
"Care to explain why this thing reeks of perfume?!" Sakura said, as she threw Sasuke's tunic in his face.
Sasuke sat on the couch, and said nothing. But he didn't show that he was completely surprised by Sakura's anger. He couldn't remember a single time that Sakura had yelled at him like this.
"Oh you're not talking, what a fucking surprise!" Sakura exclaimed, as she threw her hands up. "Well I can tell you why it smells like perfume. You were seeing that Karin chick."
Sasuke opened his mouth to defend himself, but Sakura cut him off.
"Save it Sasuke, I don't want to hear your bullshit." Sakura said, as she continued to glare at Sasuke. "I want a divorce."
Sasuke's eyes widened for a split second, but after a few moments he just shrugged.
"Fine with me." The Uchiha said, as he stood up.
Sakura gawked at Sasuke as he started to leave. But Sakura quickly gripped his arm, her fingers digging into his skin.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Sakura asked, as her anger started to grow. "Do you even care about me and Sarada?"
Sasuke sighed as he looked into Sakura's green eyes. Her normally happy emerald eyes were now filled with a mix of anger and sadness.
"Of course I care about you Sakura, but the problem is I don't love you," Sasuke admitted.
"Well I haven't loved you for a long time either." Sakura said, making Sasuke's eyes widen.
"Really? Then why the hell did you still act like you loved me?" Sasuke asked, raising the eyebrow above his rinnegan.
"Because I felt like I didn't deserve the guy I truly loved, so I went after my next best option." Sakura explained, causing Sasuke to chuckle.
"Let me guess it's the dobe?" Sasuke asked, but he already knew the answer. "But isn't he married to what's her face, uh shit what's her name?"
"Hinata," Sakura answered with a small smile.
"Yeah that's her," Sasuke said in his usual monotone voice. "Isn't he already married to Hinata?"
"Well," Sakura said as she rubbed her arm. "Naruto told me that he still loved me two months ago. So we've been kinda seeing each other since then. He planned to end his relationship with Hinata once you returned, and I agreed that I would end things with you as well."
"Wait, so you cheated on me?" Sasuke asked, earning him a slap in the arm from Sakura.
"You cheated on me to you bastard!" Sakura exclaimed, as a tic mark formed on her head.
"You got a point there." Sasuke said, as he put his tunic back on. "So this is it huh?"
"Yeah," Sakura said with a frown. "Sorry I dragged you into all of this Sasuke."
"Don't worry about it." Sasuke said with a small smile. "Just make sure you and Naruto take good care of Sarada, because I'll pop in from time to time to check up on her."
"Oh, so you do care?" Sakura asked, as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Like I said earlier I do care about you two, especially Sarada. I'll never forgive myself for not being there more for her. She barely even knows me, so I think she'll adapt to Naruto being her stepfather pretty easily." Sasuke said with a sad smile, as he looked at a framed picture of his daughter.
"I hope so," Sakura said, just as Sasuke opened the door.
"Well this is goodbye for now Sakura." Sasuke said as he stepped out the front door.
"We'll still be friends, right Sasuke?" Sakura asked, as she stood in the doorway.
"Of course," Sasuke said, as he turned to face Sakura. "Team 7 for life."
With that Sasuke disappeared into a swirl of leaves.
"Team 7 for life." Sakura whispered, as a small smile spread across her face.
The pinkette walked back into her living room, and plopped onto the couch. She sighed a sigh of great relief. That had actually went very well. Now the only thing they had to deal with was their kids, and repercussions of their actions.
Well there you guys go, the break ups have occurred. I know Hinata being upset at Naruto might seem a little OOC, but you have to remember he only loved her out of pity. I think that would royally piss most people off. Plus I wanted to show how the bond Team 7 has wouldn't be broken by this event. Plus with Sasuke's personality, something like this probably wouldn't really upset him. Next chapter will deal with how the kids deal with this news, and the repercussions of Naruto's break up and how it will affect his Hokage title. So you all have that to look forward to.
