Naruto has loved Sakura all his life, but there comes a time when love isn't enough to keep a relationship alive. Especially when it is one-sided. Naruto moves on and finds he loves someone he didn't expect, Hinata. Sakura, however, wants revenge. And when she teams up with someone who wants revenge even more than she does, Konoha itself is at risk.

Hinata

I felt like puking, I was so nauseous, but I would probably pass out first. Thank the Lord! I don't think I could puke in front of Naruto and live on to see tomorrow. My face was crimson and I was glad I had hid to where Naruto-kun couldn't see me. He probably thought I was a weirdo, or something worse! No, Naruto-kun would never think so horribly about anybody, at least not the Naruto-kun I know and love. I couldn't think straight after being so heartwarmingly close to Naruto-kun. I knew that I should probably turn and ask him if he was alright, but I was too shy to even talk to him. So I just sat there instead, waiting for something to happen and wishing I had the guts to talk to him. Wishing that I could flirt with him. Knowing that I couldn't was almost to painful to accept. Wait, I should not just sit down and accept this! I would turn around and talk to him, ask him if he wanted to go to lunch with me! Yes! I could at least try. I turned around to face him, opening my mouth to try and talk to him. I was interrupted before I could even speak.

"Hey Hinata-chan!" Naruto said with a cheery smile on his face. I blushed a shade of red that went past crimson and into some new color of its own. "Oh...sorry. Was that too forward or something?" He stared at me with those gorgeous blue eyes and I could barely breathe. I tried to respond.

"Well...I-um...it is-um...ok, I guess?" I managed to mutter. The saddest part of it all was that I was actually proud of myself for being able to reply. He smiled at me and my heart skipped a beat. Warmth filled me and I felt bubbly inside.

"Hey, Hinata-chan, do you want to go get some lunch or something?" He said to me with a wink. For a moment I was sure I was hallucinating and that someone needed to put me in a straight-jacket and a padded cell, lock the door, and throw away the key. Then I saw him patiently staring at me. I felt my face turn into some totally new color that would probably be named after me. I had to be cool, or funny, or cute, anything! But I could not mess this up!

"Ye-yes! I would...um...really..." I couldn't finish my sentence, and luckily I didn't have to. Naruto-kun grabbed my hand and pulled me off down the street. I didn't feel like I was walking, though, I felt like I was flying.
