The others had followed him to the wall but not in to his makeshift tunnel. He felt that and roared. They obeyed his order and followed him through the tunnel.

Once he cut threw the last of the tunnel he released the rasinshuriken. Walking up to the pillar looking at the kunai.

Kiba was trying to understand Naruto's behavior.

"You know, you treated Sakura very rude back there."

"drop it"

"That was out of character even tor you."

"I said drop it Kiba!"raising his voice a little.

"You would never be this cold to her."

"I SAID DROP IT KIBA!"

He yelled flipping around to face him with a wind style rasinshuriken in his right hand and grabbing Kiba's shirt with the left, knowing Kiba was behind him. The rasinshuriken was raised above his head. Everyone was watching with open mouths, even Kakashi and Yamato. Yamato was also among the prisoners that Madara had. Kiba was now worried that he crossed a emotional line that up till now kept Naruto from hurting anyone that he cared about, as sweat dropped from his brow. Naruto pointed his hand to the thin spot on the wall and a moment later it launched toward it. Hitting the mark, low sun light showed as the sun was setting. Naruto released Kiba, and Sakura who was next to Kiba spoke as softly as she could without further angering Naruto.

"Naruto, why are you acting like this?"

He looked at her and in a mad but calmer tone than before answered her.

"Did you really think that I would just forget what happened in Iron country? You lied to me..."

"No I..."

"You lied to me Sakura! You said that you had stopped loving Sasuke, and that you loved me instead, but you lied. You knew how I feel about you. Hell, everyone knows that I love you, and that I have never stopped. You used that to get me to stop chasing him. Sai told me what you really where doing. If you had told me from then, I would not be mad at you. You used my feelings for you against me and that is far worse than getting stabbed by Sasuke. You stabbed my heart Sakura and wounded me far greater than anyone else can. I have always been able to forgive you for hurting me, and even now I still can forgive you, because I still love you and will never stop loving you. That's the kind of man I am."

And with that he turned and walked out. But as he neared the mouth of the hole he stopped and put his left foot at a 90 degree angle form his right and turned slightly. Looking at the ground but to where they could see his eyes. His eyes had changed from red back to blue but were still slits and his teeth were still see able. He spoke in a sad voice that matched his face.

"Sakura...I'm sorry. I should never have spoken to you like that. I didn't sleep last night as I was coming to save you. I had a lot of anger in me and I aimed it at you since I was still upset at what you said to me a few days ago and when you got captured it only amplified it. Add on my fighting the rest of the zetzus that ambushed me yesterday and killing Madara...I needed to release my anger and it kills me that I released it at you. That was not the way I should have handled it and I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me."

He turned back and only took one step as a voice stopped him but he didn't turn around.

"I forgive you, Naruto."

"Thank you...night is coming and I ran almost nonstop to get here. Since I was going so fast, it will take longer to get back. I will find a camp site."

He dropped his kyubi sage mode and changed in to his fox form and left. The rest followed him. he found a nice camp site and gathered wood for the fire. After a few minutes after dinner was over Naruto got up still in fox form and started to leave.

Hinata asked."Naruto, where are you going?"

"I need some air."

And walked off. He went to the edge of the forest that held there camp, and climbed on a flat bolder.

Once he was out of site Sakura stood up and walked off on the same path he took. Hinata asked Sakura where she was going even though she knew.

"Where are you going, Sakura?"

"I need some air too."

"That's the same way Naruto went."

"Is it?" then she was off and out of site before Hinata could respond.

Sakura went to the tree line and saw Naruto sitting on a flat bolder and was taken at his wonderful and soft fox body. Thoughts came to her about taking him right there.

"He looks so...handsome and..." drooled Inner Sakura.

"Just what do you think you are doing? He just got done yelling at us for lying to him...or have you forgot? I can't just and jump him as much as I might like to."

"No...but he was not yelling at me, he was yelling at you."

"Now what do you mean?"

"I mean that you may have not loved him then but I did. And since I am a part of you then you did to, you just didn't know it. So he wasn't yelling at me. When did you realize that you loved him?

"I don't know. I...I think you are right and I loved him all along. When I saw him stabbed I...I...I just knew that I would never forgive myself if he died. Now...the love of my life is alive and I just want to make it right."

"then what are you waiting for? Go get him."

"I will!"

"Sakura, why are you here?" Naruto asked without turning around. She slowly walked up, climbed up and sat down next to him.

"How did you know that I was there?"

"I know could smell cherry blossoms. There is only one person that smells that lovely. So I knew it was you."

"You really think I smell nice?" she asked blushing.

"Yes,I always have. But, you didn't answer me. Why are you here?"

"I...I wanted to say that I am sorry that I hurt you back in Iron country. But I also want you to know that what I said then was no lie. I do love you. Please believe me Naruto."

Naruto changed back but left his tails out. Turning to face each other he asked.

"What about Sasuke?"

"As far as I'm concerned his is a criminal that tried to hurt me by killing you, the love of my life."

He just lost him self in her eyes, and didn't notice that his tails had rapped themselves around her and pilled her to him.

"You really love me?"he asked as his breathing quickened, still starring in to her beautiful emerald eyes and still lost in them.

"Yes. I love you." her own breathing quickening.

There lips crashed together in a way that both moaned out in pleasure but they were both muffled my the other. After what seemed like an eternity they had to separate grasping for air. Nether knew what to think or say but something was changing them for the better. Love. A love that would never break, even in the times ahead, their love would force them to survive what will lay ahead.
