The day started nice and sunny. The perfect day to start a new mission. It that was what Sakura Haruno was doing. But she wasn't alone she had Naruto and Konohamaru. The mission was simple take out a group of bandits threatening a town.
"So Sakura how did you get rid of your tail and fox ears" Naruto asked.
If was true Sakura was missing her 'extra features'. "Well it happened this morning when I realized that it was possible for me to make them come and go" explained Sakura.
"I kinda liked you better that way"
"What's that supposed to mean"
"Oh nothing"
The group walked all day in silence. On there way to the village they were suddenly approached by three bandits. They bandits knew who they were and had speacific orders to take them down.
"I got the pink brat" said the one dressed in red and the tallest of them.
He rushed towards Sakura we a kunai in his hand. Sakura took out her own and the two clashed. The red bandit jumped back and made some hand seals. "Pheonix flower jutsu" he blew fire from his mouth .
What he didn't know Sakura had her own tricks up her sleeve. She quickly made her own hand seals "Fox fire jutsu" From her mouth came came fire that took the form of a fox. The two attacks met but Sakura's fire fox overpowered it and made direct contact with the red bandit causing him to burn and pass out.
"Sakura that was amazing" said Naruto.
Sakura blushed a bit. "Thanks Naruto i've been practicing"
Sakura noticed that Naruto and Konohamaru had there opponents defeated. After that they set up camp and tied up the bandits for questioning. From the looks of it they would not be up for awhile so they waited.
"Konohamaru could you go get some more firewood" Sakura asked him.
"Sure thing Sakura it won't be a problem" Konohamaru said. He walked off leaving Sakura and Naruto alone. Naruto had tried to remake the previous moment they had before so he scooted closer to her.
"So Sakura how have things been going" Naruto asked.
"They have been going fine except I have been going through some real thinking time lately" Sakura admitted.
Naruto had a clue on what she was talking about. She had been thinking about the kiss they almost had too. He motioned his hand over to hers.
Even if she didn't see it she felt it. His hand was warm as always. She had not told anybody yet but she gained the power to sense chakra. But Naruto's felt warm a warmness you could never get tired of and want forever. It was a shame that the nine tails chakra was there to ruin it.
"Naruto there is something important I have to tell you" she said.
"There something I have to tell you too. Sakura I know when we were younger I was a complete idiot who had no idea what he was doing. Now things are different. Sakura I love-"
" I'm back! With the wood" shouted Konohamaru.
Sakura quickly tensed up and took her hand from Naruto. Konohamaru placed the wood down on the fire place and looked at the two. Sakura looked a little guilty and Naruto seemed annoyed it was like this the day before to. Was something going on behind his back.
"Thanks Konohamaru but we don't need it time to turn in for the night." Sakura said putting the fire out.
Later the night Sakura slept next to Konohamaru. She was having trouble sleeping feeling guilty about what almost happened. "I don't know what to do. My brain says Sasuke. But my heart says Naruto"
