Chapter 6

Return

"Hinata, mind my asking, but… Naruto. Do you love him."

Hinata blushed hard as she couldn't speak, all she could do was nod.

Sakura now felt the same pain Hinata felt earlier. Hinata then gave her a confused look and said. "Why do you ask Sakura-chan?"

Sakura froze. The answer to that very question was something she had been wondering since he had arrived. Why did she ask, why did she even care. She swallowed all of that and placed a fake smile on her face. "No reason really, it's just that you always blushed when he tried to look at you, you even fainted a couple of times."

Hinata blushed as she remembered all that Sakura was saying, knowing it was all true.

This was Hinata:

She was shy, way shy, way too shy, it could be too healthy. But, she was a great friend. She was respectful, trustworthy, innocent, incredibly nice, and quite strong as well. She was all that, but had been held back due to her crush on Naruto. This was Hinata.

Sakura stared at the Hyuga girl look down, possibly deep in thought. She quickly looked at the pink haired kunoichi and said: "Sakura-chan, I… I want to see Naruto again. Could you, accompany me to see him, I don't want to be alone when I see him again since nearly three years."

Sakura could have easily said no, making up an excuse, or saying that she had to go to Tsunade's office, which was true. "I…" She looked at Hinata's face as she signed and said. "I'd be glad too."

Her face lit up as she cheerfully said: "Thank you so much."

Sakura returned the smile as she thought. 'Tsunade won't mind if I'm a bit late, it is about Naruto.'

Meanwhile Naruto and Kakashi had parted as Naruto walked around the streets of Konoha. 'There so much people I haven't seen, I don't know where to start. There's Iruka, Konohamaru, Lee, Hinata, Tsunade-baba, and everyone else I'm to excited to even remember.'

As Naruto walked his head quickly faced the ground. "So much has happened. In so little time. I'm glad Kakashi still the same. And…" He stopped in mid-thought. 'Her, Sakura Haruno. Why does that name cause me so much joy, and so much pain at the same time? Naruto stopped walking and smiled. 'Stupid question, cause I know she hasn't changed either.' Naruto looked up as he saw to girls walking his way. One had pink hair, a large forehead, a emerald green eyes. (Who could she be?) The other had raven colored hair, large white eyes, and was shivering since he had first seen her. 'It's Sakura, and that must be Hinata. Is she cold?"

"Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan. Hey there." Naruto said cheerfully.

Hinata stopped when she laid eyes on her long time crush. She turned to Sakura, as she said. "I… can't… do… this…" Sakura signed as she pushed Hinata towards him, against her own will thought. "Hey guys, what's up."

Hinata just took out her arm placed it to shake Naruto's arm. "N-Naruto-kun… how… I… you…" Naruto quickly hugged Hinata as she nearly fainted. "I've missed you Hinata." "Eep." was all she said, erm, yelled. Sakura's fist tightened as she tried to stop herself from hitting Hinata for hugging Naruto and hitting him for hugging her. She took a deep breath and though. 'Why do I even care, is not like his my boyfriend or anything.' Naruto let go as he turned to both of them. "I was feeling a bit alone, thanks for coming."

"Sure thing Naruto." Hinata said, almost in shock, and she turned to Sakura. "He hugged me."

'Who cares, he kissed me.' Inner Sakura stated, making Sakura blush.

Naruto quickly turned to Sakura. "Hey Sakura-chan, didn't you have to go to Tsunade's office."

"Oh, that's right, she'll have my head if I don't go." Sakura turned as Naruto turned to Hinata. "Hey Hinata, mind walking with me so I can say hi to the others?"

"S-Sure thing Naruto."

Sakura turned back as she heard what they were saying and said. "On second thought, Tsunade won't mind if I take a little longer, mind if I come with you guys."

"No prob."

"Sure." As the three walked to find the rest Hinata looked at Sakura. 'She's acting a little weird around Naruto. Could she… no… no way, she couldn't. I think.'

Meanwhile Tsunade was overlooking some files at her office, her desk filled with them. She wasn't alone in the office either, in front of her sat a young man. "Well. I had told Sakura to meet me here today, but she's running late. I wonder…"

The young man just looked down at the sound of that name. "She could be with Naruto, I wouldn't blame her." The young man looked up. "Naruto, he's here."

"Sure is, he came yesterday, the damn brat hasn't even come by to say hi." She turned to face the young man as she signed. "You've been here in Konoha a few weeks, but I haven't told anyone yet aside from the ANBU and a few others." She quickly raised her eyes to meet his. "I don't fully trust you, but I have no choice in the matter, for now, welcome back to Konoha, Sasuke Uchiha."

Sasuke smiled. "Thank you, hokage-sama."

Sasuke' s back. What will happen? Just wait and find out.
