Bold and Italics dream sequences

Hinata knocked on the front door of the mansions she was going to start working. She was wearing a maid uniform with a very short skirt probably anyone could see beneath the skirt and have a free peep show for themselves. Today was her first day of work under a new master and she was eagerly looking forward to start her job. The door opened revealing Sasuke wearing an expensive bath robe his face was of disapproval of the Hyuga maid until his onyx eyes traveled to her cleavage which was very noticeable with the tight blouse she was wearing. The maid was truly a pure tease filled a eyes of innocence and the face of an angel. Hinata however was looking at the Uchiha rich man with dreamy eyes and a blush on her cheeks. She was captivated by his good looks and strong powerful body that will make any woman wet in seconds.

"You're the new maid come in" he replied with some aggression in his voice.

Hinata nodded and entered his mansion she was in awe at the sight of enormous house. It looked even bigger from the inside she followed him to a large passage leading to a room. When she entered there lots of books in bookshelves everywhere she looked, it looked like a study. Sasuke got seated in a chair on his desk still gazing at the Hyuga maid. His onyx traveled all over her body, her gorgeous face he well developed breasts and her long sexy legs. He controlled his urges as he decided to speak to her about her new duties.

"All right how about introducing yourself so I can get to know you better?"

"Certainly my name is Hyuga Hinata I like to do all kinds of duties and chores I do windows, dishes, sanitary well anything. However I like when someone treats me with respect I believe respect can helped stimulate communication in order to understand each other better. I will do anything you said without questioning your orders."

'Anything eh?' the Uchiha was grinning wickedly.

"I am very eager to start working for you Mr….um…would you like to tell me your name?"

"Of course it's Uchiha Sasuke I am the owner of this mansion I can see that you're very happy to start working for me especially since you won't complain if I tell you what to do. That's good I like my employees to be very obedient. I already have your first assignment do you see the books all around you? I want you to dust them every single one it's been a while since they have been dusted."

"As you wish my master" Hinata bowed before she took her dusting tool and started doing her first assignment behaving very cheery.

Sasuke went back to read the book he started reading before he heard the doorbell rang while HInata was dusting the first line of books from the bookshelf. He concentrated on his reading but for some reason he couldn't no matter how much he wanted to read he couldn't like he got tire of reading the book. His got tire from looking at the text print pages and were now staring at the Hyuga beauty who was doing her job very happy. Once again he was focusing on her body he has never seen such a voluptuous body ever she was truly a goddess dressed as a maid. He felt his manhood getting hard from staring at her body and her undying beauty he touched his pants in order to try and calm down namely his hard friend. He felt like ripping her uniform and penetrate her hard until she scream his name and she starts begging for more like she couldn't live without his hard cock. He went back to his book but he was faking so he could steal all the glances he could at his new employee.

Hinata has been well aware that her Uchiha master has been staring at her for a while and she smiled. She focused on her dusting knowing that someone had his eyes on her and it really turn her on a lot. She admitted he was handsome and mysterious very cool she hold the urge to licked her lips and made a moan of anticipation. It was going to be hard for her to continue with her job while being turn on watching her master read or more precise pretending to read. She decided to put matters into her own hands as she stopped her dusting and checked on the titles of the books. She randomly picked a book and it accidentally fell on the ground making Sasuke noticed her and gave a disapproval book not liking what he was seeing.

"Maid I told you to dust the books not picked one and read it do your job right" he frowned at her while he was annoyed that his erection hasn't decreased yet.

"I'm so sorry my master I didn't mean it. It's just that the title of this book it's very familiar I think I have read it before."

"Good for you now back to your work."

"I am sorry for my mistake master."

Sasuke saw Hinata as she picked the book but he was shocked. The Hyuga maid didn't go on her knees to pick it she just leaned down showing her back to him and picked it. Sasuke felt his erection getting bigger as he got a full view of Hinata's panties since her skirt was that short it allowed him to see the arousing peep show. He saw how slowly she was picking it up with all of the patience in the world like she was doing it on purpose so he can looked at her underwear and her nice ass. He growled mentally finally reaching his limit no way in hell that his manhood was going to return to normal size for a while, at least until he pounds some fresh meat. Now he had his sight on his target the sexy Hyuga maid. He got up from his desk walking towards Hinata as she has already picked the book and put it where she got it from. Before she resumed with her dusting she gasped as she felt Sasuke pulling her closer to him while grabbing her right wrist making her flinch a little.

"Ma….master you're hurting me…" she blushed seeing how close his face was to hers.

"Shut up just who the hell do you think you are?!" he shouted in anger.

"What…do you mean?"

"Cut the bullshit I know what you've been up to. You think I'm stupid not to notice that you did that on purpose?!"

"What are you talking about?" she was still pretending like she didn't know.

"The book you dropped the book on purpose so I could look at your underwear what kind of woman are you?!"

"No….I didn't…I…"

"Stop lying I called for a hard working maid and instead I got a horny maid who likes to tease her new master I mean what kind of maid wears such a short skirt admit it come clean?!"

Hinata knew there was no point in acting so instead she gave a sweet innocent smile" I can't help it master you're very handsome and attractive….you're the first master I have ever behave like this it's the truth."

"I see so you can't help it huh?" he the licked her cheek making Hinata shiver in pleasure" you can't help it at all if I'm making you feel hot and wet isn't that right?"

"Yes…oooohhhh!!!" she moaned loudly.

Sasuke was groping her big breast teasing them through her blouse until she felt her nipples getting hard. The horny Uchiha ripped her maid blouse revealing her E cup breasts he touched them and squeezed them tight while teasing her nipples. Hinata moaned loudly feeling the pleasure her master was giving her loving every action and sensation. She was already wet since he licked her cheek while she could feel his large manhood pocking on her ass it felt so good. She could feel it was big and hard just thinking about how big it was turning her on even more. Sasuke went to her breasts and started licking them and sucking on them very rough. He couldn't help it seeing such voluptuous breast that made him go crazy and suck on them like his life depended on it.

"OOooooohhhhh yes oooohhhhh master ooooohhhh soooo good more!!!"

Sasuke stopped in his ministrations gazing at his horny maid" look at you giving it your all you have truly made me hard I am not done with you yet!"

"More master I want more!!!"

The Uchiha resumed his tit sucking while massaging the other one with his hand. His free hand went and ripped her panties destroying the only piece of clothing that was protecting her womanhood from view. He started fingering her making Hinata moaned like crazy Sasuke was rubbing her clit rapidly as he continued to enjoy ravaging her voluptuous breasts. Hinata knew if this keep up it won't be long before she reaches her climax although she didn't want to. She wanted to continue receiving the pleasure from her master forever it was so good and satisfying indeed.

"Ooooohhhhh more master oooooh feels so good ooooohhhh yes more!!!"

"You like that don't you my horny maid?!"

"Yes ooooohhhh master I'm about to cum!!!"

"Wait not yet" he stopped his ministrations before grabbing her and putting her on his desk she was in doggy style position.

"Master…why did you stop?" Hinata was confused while she was panting from the pleasure she was so close to reached her orgasm.

"Your behavior is intolerable and a disgrace to your job I'm going to punish you with this!"

Hinata's eyes widened as Sasuke removed his robe revaeling his hard cock she blushed hard gazing at the size of it. This time she couldn't hold her urge and she licked her lips in anticipation to upcoming punishment that Uchiha has in store for her. Sasuke positioned himself behind her he gave his cock a couple of strokes before giving the Hyuga maid a spank on her ass.

"It's time for your punishment!"

Hinata moaned as she felt his hard cock entering her wet pussy like it was a piece of hot iron rod piercing her but it was very pleasurable. Sasuke started pounding her fast he groaned at how good her pussy felt he love penetrating his horny maid. Hinata moaned loudly feeling the Uchiha's cock pounding her she loves the sound of her ass being smack by his waist it was turning her on even more. Pleasure has taken over as she moaned in pure lust and desire she loved everything her master was doing to her.

"Oh shit your pussy is amazing!"

"Ooooohhhh yes master ooooohhhh faster punish me harder and deeper ooohhhhh!!!"

"This is perfect I've been looking for a sex maid and you will do just fine I will never get tire of fucking you!"

"Ohhhhh more oh yes ooooohhhh master punish me more!!!"

"You're a horny maid say it!"

"Yes oooohhhhh I'm a horny maid punish me with your hard cock master oooohhhhh!!!"

Sasuke groaned fucking her pussy with a lot of speed as he grabbed one of her breast and gave it a squeeze. He knew that he was about to reach his climax but he so wanted continuing pounding his voluptuous maid. Hinata was in the same boat she could feel her limit reaching and she knew her climax will be a big explosion.

"Shit I'm about to cum!"

"OOooooohhh yes me too master cum inside of me!!!"

Sasuke made his final thrusts before pulling the Hyuga maid towards him touching one of her breast ready to reach his orgasm and release his seed inside of her.

"Ah I'm coming!!!"

"Ooooohhhh master Uchiha!!!"

Hinata rose from her bed sweating, panting and her whole face was blushing. The erotic dream she had felt so real and she could have sworn she felt the pleasure so real. Yet instead of feeling nervous or scare she gave a smile while panting because the dream was so intense and good. She could still remember it clearly Sasuke pounding her rapidly and the sound of his hips smacking on her ass. His hard manhood going in and out of her womanhood she didn't felt ashamed about it. She has been recently having fantasies with the Uchiha lately even if she has been avoiding him for a while and it was killing her for doing such a horrible thing to him. She realized that the sheets of her bed were completely soaked wet her panties were wet too meaning how intense her erotic dream with the Uchiha was. She sighed she needed to change the sheets before she got up from her bed ready to start the day. Afterwards she was going to take a shower.

'Some friend I turn out to be….Sasuke-kun must really hate me…'

She hated herself for avoiding him because what told him during their mission together and she couldn't get the picture of Ino on top of Sasuke either. Even if it turns out to be a misunderstanding she still couldn't forget it and she couldn't help but to feel jealous it was really annoying her a lot. But she knew the consequences of her actions avoiding the Uchiha has caused her the friendship she developed with him a friendship she has come to cherished a lot. It meant a lot to her and yet she has come to jeopardize it running her chances to be Sasuke's friend and she admitted that she has gotten closer to him. Tears were forming at the corner of her eyes realizing her mistake he was probably upset with her and he didn't want to know a thing from her after what she did to him. The pain was horrible this was a pain she couldn't live with to lose the Uchiha's friendship will be the worst thing that will happen to her in the world.

'Can I face him and apologize to him I don't think he will forgive me?'

(Konoha hospital first floor room 115)

Sakura just finished changing her flowers on the vase next to her bed. It was another day of visiting her teacher another day she wanted to talk to her about everything she's been through. Remembering what she talked about with Ino and the possibility that Naruto may love her and not Hinata. No he didn't love her he's with Hinata the Hyuga heiress was the only one who can give him the happiness he rightfully deserves. She knew she wasn't the one why would she give happiness to him the person who has mistreated him and broke his heart dozens of times. She made the right decision in letting him go to be with the girl who has always like him since the academy, to her it was better than being with the selfish girl who gave him pain. No matter she do she couldn't forget Ino's words from that day they have been haunting her for days and she didn't know how to forget them completely like she never heard them in the first place.

"You do realize what this means? The only way to heal your pain is telling Naruto the whole truth."

"Don't you think he might be happy being with you?"

"I think that's up to Naruto to decide not you don't you think so?"

"You think you can continue living like this no matter how much you deny it you have to tell Naruto the truth because what you have for him is not a silly school girl crush. If you don't tell him the pain will destroy you look how you're living your life you have to stop doing this to yourself it's not healthy please!"

Tears were forming on her eyes as she gazed at the unconscious Tsunade' damn that Ino why does she have to open her big mouth and said those words to me? I know she's worried about me and only wants to help me but why can't she understand and accept my choice?'

"Stop denying yourself Sakura you have to admit that Naruto after all these years he might still have feelings for you!"

'It's not true Ino you're wrong he doesn't needs me I can't give him love and happiness like Hinata has showed him I don't need love or happiness I just don't deserve nothing!'

She let her tears fall before taking Tsunade's hand feeling the pain eating her again only this time it was worst than usual" she's lying it's not true he doesn't need me I will be the one to make sure he gets happiness but it will be from someone else. Why should I deserve his love after everything I have done to him?"

She continued to hold her hand and she gasped as she felt her hand being squeeze back. She was shocked seeing Tsunade's hand slowly moving reacting like she was awake. She gazed back at the older woman's face and she was opening her eyes slowly. Tears were once again forming in her eyes as she couldn't believe what she was seeing maybe she was dreaming because it was too good to be true.

"Sa….Sakura…." she replied like her throat was dry.

"Tsunade-sama you're finally awake!" she let more tears fall but this time were tears of joy she went to the door and opened it" everyone Tsunade-sama's has finally awaken!"

"Sakura….listen to me…." she replied before coughing blood.

"Tsunade-sama!" Sakura checked her pulse before gasping' no…this can't be her condition is worsening at this rate she will…..'

She was about to try and heal her but the slug sanin stopped her" that's enough….I know very well I don't have too much time I can tell I was the one who taught you everything about being a medic nin. Just listen to me…."

"Tsunade-sama no I just can't I…." her tears were still falling.

"Sakura I have heard every single thing you have said to me all this time you told me clearly….how much you love Naruto what you have for him is a powerful love that it can't never be replace by anyone or anything. That's the power of true love how much you're willing to do and risk for him no matter how much you're suffering but everyone has a limit. You can't continue like this the pain will haunt you forever it will drag you down until you feel nothing but sorrow. You won't longer feel any happiness because of Naruto having a happy life you will only feel pain until it swallows your heart like you were drowning and it will slowly kills you."

Sakura continued holding her tears hearing her teacher's words full of wisdom it only made her shed more tears. A group of medic nins entered the room and gasped seeing the fifth Hokage awake after three years in a coma among them was Shizune who was in tears seeing her master awake. The medic nins could tell that she was in a terrible condition and needed medical treatment immediately, they went to her but Sakura stopped them.

"Tsunade-sama…." Shizune said happy while crying.

"Shizune please don't do anything my time has come….so please do as I say…."

The raven haired woman nodded before she back down telling the rest of the medics to halt in taking action. Tsunade smiled seeing Shizune again happy to see her first student after such a long nap, she gazed back at the pink haired woman and she has taken noticed of her appearance.

"Sakura….you look different…."

The pink haired medic chuckle in tears" I guess….you've been in a coma for three years Tsunade-sama the village has been rebuild after Pain's attack and we have a new Hokage…."

"Really who?" she replied with a smile hoping it was someone good.

Shizune smiled" Kakashi has taken over as the sixth Hokage we did had some trouble with Danzo and a civil war broke out but in the end we won and Danzo was executed for conspiracy of the Uchiha massacre and the creation of ROOT."

"Kakashi eh…..that's good I knew he was a good candidate I hope he stopped reading those perverted books…"

"No he still reading them in secrecy" Sakura replied with a laugh drying her tears.

"That will be too good to be true" the older woman replied before looking back at her student" Sakura if you love Naruto so much there's only one thing to do, tell him how you feel…."

"I can't Naruto is together with Hinata I won't interfere in his relationship I have no right to do such a thing."

Tsunade chuckle" Naruto and Hinata….that's very hard to believe I can't see that brat together with someone like her. And even if it's true I doubt that he will love her as much as he loves you I know that brat too well, he never gives up he will never give up his feelings for you. He's probably trying his hardest to love Hinata but he will fail eventually because deep in his heart you will always be the one he will truly love with every bit of his strength."

Sakura started sobbing hearing that to hear it so strongly from her teacher it made her believe in hope that maybe she might have a chance after all. But she knew she couldn't interfere knowing that Hinata will be the one getting hurt and heartbroken she couldn't go through with it. The Hyuga heiress doesn't deserves getting her heart shattered because of her own selfish need she has made her choice a long time ago and she was going to stick by it.

"Tsunade-sama I have chosen not to let my selfishness get the better of me I want Naruto-kun to stay by Hinata's side I just want him to be happy that's all…."

The slug sanin coughed more blood while everyone gasped they knew she didn't had too much time because of her condition but she stopped them again. It seems that she has made her decision in saying her last words to her student.

"Sakura when I lost Dan I thought I would never feel true love ever again he was everything to me. But with time I realized I have found the special someone who loved me very much and he was in front of me this entire time…."

Sakura already had an idea who she was talking about" Jiraiya-sama?"

"Yes I never realized it before but that pervert stole my heart when I never expected. When I finally accepted that I love him and I was finally ready to accept him in my life in my heart he dies" she was now shedding tears while giving her student's hand a gentle squeeze.

"Tsunade-sama…" Sakura started her tears were still falling.

"Please Sakura don't make the same mistake I made. I had so many chances to accept Jiraiya but my foolish pride got the better of me and now I'm too late to tell him how I feel the pain I'm feeling right now is horrible it's killing me. The pain of not telling someone how you feel when it's too late it's the worst pain in the world but you still have a chance to tell him. If you want to succeed me Sakura then you will have to outdone all of my mistakes that includes in telling your feelings to the one you love."

Tsunade coughed more blood everyone went to her checking her pulse her condition was reaching its limit her time was running out. Shizune and Sakura were in tears there was nothing they could do to help her but the slug sanin has chosen this herself she wanted to finish telling her last words to her student.

"She's in critical status the only thing we can do is to slow her process" one medic nin said.

"Let her finish Tsunade-sama wants to speak to Sakura-san it's her final will" replied Shizune with teary eyes.

Sakura continued to sob as Tsunade grabbed her hand with her other hand smiling at her" I feel the same way about you Sakura. You said I am like a mother to you and I see you as the daughter I never had or more precise the daughter I wish I had. You have become from the annoying fan girl into a strong skillful medic and independent woman and the best thing of all I witnessed you're growth, I couldn't be any prouder of you. You will surpass me and become the best medic in the five countries and look at you. You have become into a very beautiful woman I bet Naruto can't even look at you straight in the face without blushing, please don't give up fulfilling your heart's desire."

Even in her last moments the slug sanin gave her a smirk" go to that brat and show him you're not ashamed to love him give that knuckle head a big kiss."

"Tsunade-sama….." Sakura's sobbing got worse as she was holding her teacher's hands.

Tsunade finally felt her heartbeat getting slower reaching the end of the line" Sakura….come closer…."

"Yes Tsunade-sama."

The pink haired medic got closer to leaning her face like she was going to tell her a big secret from the former Hokage" live your life with no regrets that will be my final lesson to you as your teacher."

Sakura's eyes widened before the heart beat monitor went flat line and Tsunade stopped breathing confirming the horrible truth. Tsunade slug sanin and fifth Hokage of Konoha has passed away.

"No….Tsunade-sama" Sakura checked her pulse while Shizune was in tears and the medic team stood quiet without saying a word.

More tears were falling as the pink haired medic was feeling the pain of losing her teacher and second mother" NO TSUNADE-SAMA!!!"

Tsunade opened her eyes and realized she was in a place full of bright light she couldn't see what was surrounding her like everything was just light. She looked at her hands and realized that she wasn't wrinkle she has gotten her youth once again but she wasn't using her jutsu to make herself look young. She already had a pretty good idea where she was since she just recently died. To think she made it here after all she wasn't a bad person she lived her life to the fullest the right way filled with sorrow and anguish. All she could do was smile and gaze at her afterlife her spirit was going to rest in peace. She meet a lot of people precious to her family, friends loved ones. She was going to missed Naruto above all she never got the chance to say goodbye to the blond who has a dream to become Hokage. But she was happy for telling her last words to her student hoping that she doesn't take her path in heart break like she once did.

'I had a feeling you won't make the same mistake Sakura….I believe in you.'

"There you are so you're finally here."

The blond smiled hearing the familiar voice of her former teammate and love interest for a long time. She turned around to see Jiraiya who was smiling at her the only thing that came to her mind was to punch him for making her cry during his absence. Her eyes became teary seeing the toad sanin happy to see him thinking the things she wanted to tell him before he left her.

"I figure you'd be here I just hope you haven't been pepping here too."

Jiraiya laughed" you know me too well I was doing research here but I came here to pick you up."

"Right I died I thought I was here already."

"Nope this is the path to heaven just follow me we have a lot to talk about."

"I know there's something I couldn't tell you back when we were alive" she replied as she began to walk with him and without thinking twice she finally let it out" I love you stupid pervert."

The toad sanin chuckle" I already knew Tsunade but I didn't want to admit it I figure you didn't want me to get closer to you more than I have."

"You fool you could have said something!"

"You could have said something too" Jiraiya grinned.

Tsunade sighed" you're right we both screw up I'm sorry."

"That's all in the world of the living now we are now heading to our personal heaven. I've been having a long conversation with Nagato and Yahiko it just takes me back to the old days."

"So they're both here too?"

"Both of them felt guilty for not following my tutelage but both of them were doing for the sake of good they are both happy to be here spending time with their teacher. Also Tsunade a couple of people are waiting for your arrival."

"Who?"

The toad sanin smiled" Dan and Nawaki they're here too."

Tears were falling again she was happy" I see then I won't keep them waiting anymore. You know Naruto misses you a lot."

"Like I didn't know that I miss the brat too but he has to fulfill his dream and he has to live the rest of his life for him to come here. Either way I'm proud of him that boy will bring peace to the world I believe in him all the way."

She smiled with that said both left into the light heading into paradise where they will live their afterlife in peace forever.

(Time skip)

(Konoha graveyard Hokage's memorial ground)

Everyone has attended Tsunade's funeral from the ninja population to the civilians. Everyone who was loyal to the fifth Hokage and care for her has attended for the ceremony. The monument Kakashi has ordered to build was the traditional Hokage memorial stone which was a large flame symbolizing the will of fire of Konoha that everyone has inherited from the past Hokages. Everyone has gathered and we're in front of the casket which the slug sanin was inside waiting for her burial to begin, people were shedding their tears for their beloved Hokage. Among the ninjas stood the group of the Konoha eleven the rookies along with Yamato and Iruka who were in deep thought and quiet. Everyone was wearing the traditional black garment for the funeral while most of them were gazing at the casket of the blond woman. Just like any funeral this one was filled with sorrow just like the funeral of the third Hokage who became like a father to everyone in the village.

Rock Lee was with his girlfriend Tenten next to them were Kiba and his wife Ayame, Akamaru stood next to him. Shino stood not too far from Kiba while Chouji and Ino were in the middle lines looking sad for the lost of their former Hokage. Shikamaru was next to Kurenai who was holding the hand of her three year old son Hiruzen. Neji was next to his wife Hanabi not too far from Hiashi the same with Hinata and Naruto. Iruka was on the corner and behind him stood Anko and Yamato Sai was not too far from their row. Shizune was on the front row and she was shedding her tears for the woman who almost raised her like she was her own child and trained her to become a medic nin. The atmosphere was serious and full of anguish just like any funeral they will held but it was killing a certain someone a lot. A certain blond was trying to calm himself from the horrible pain he was feeling right now.

Naruto was trying so hard not to emotionally lose control. First he was devastated about Tsunade's death the woman became someone precious to him like a mother. After his teacher Jiraiya Tsunade was second in people that meant a lot to him remembering what she did for him. She was the one that gave him permission to continue looking for Sasuke and she approved the decision not to execute the Uchiha as a missing nin. He was going to miss her, a lot as his tears were forming on his eyes but it was nothing compare to the horrible pain he was feeling. He gazed at Sakura who was sobbing like crazy the pink haired kunoichi's face was filled with tears it was hard to recognized her with her sad expression. He couldn't stand it he hated so much to see Sakura crying, it was always his duty to come to her aid and put a smile on her face. The sight was breaking his heart and the pain had no comparison it was worst than Tsunade's death, to him it was obvious she was in pain he was in pain too. What would he give to be there next to her and gave her a conforming hug, he was jealous of Sasuke who was trying conform his girlfriend but it wasn't working she was getting worst. He would change places with the Uchiha without thinking about it he just wanted to hold the pink haired woman and be her pillar of strength. He never noticed that Hinata was staring at him and it was like she was reading his mind, she had a good idea what was he thinking about.

Kakashi finally took the front gazing at the large crowd ready to speak" we are gathered here to honor and remember a very important and precious person. We're here to commemorate the death of our beloved fifth Hokage and sanin Senju Tsunade our first kunoichi Hokage and granddaughter of our funding father Senju Hashirama the first Hokage. Like all previous Hokages she did an amazing job ruling over Konoha and she gave us hope to believe in the will of fire just like her teacher the third did. She may be gone to a better place but she will be forever in our hearts her memory lives in all of us. We will miss her let her join the other side with the rest of our great Hokages, let's all give a moment of silence."

Silence fell on the funeral as they started saying their silent prayers. Each shed their tears while other we're in deep thought showing their sadness without the need to release a tear. After the minute of silence was over they resumed with the final act of the ceremony which was putting a flower on the grave stone. Each person grabbed a rose and they started walking towards the grave. One by one they put the rose on grave in remembrance of their beloved Hokage, sanin and medical nin. The civilian population put their flowers mostly the women cried as well as some children and the men just silently placed their roses on the grave before giving a quick prayer. Soon the ninja population was eventually next in line as each ninja placed their flowers on Tsunade's grave. Everyone from Izumo, Kotetsu, Yugao, Genma, Ibiki Iruka among others more and the Konoha eleven were up. Each of them placed their flowers on the grave sorrow was evident in their faces.

Shino went first followed by Kiba and Ayame. Hinata was next with Naruto who made a quick prayer in his mind thanking for everything she did for him. Neji followed by Hanabi then Chouji, Ino and Shikamaru. Sai, Yamato and Anko were next and then it was Sasuke's turn before his girlfriend went next. Sakura stood still holding her rose letting her tears fall freely she thought the pain was going to be horrible but she wasn't expecting it to be like this. It was worst than she thought losing someone so close and precious to you, the pain of losing someone who was your teacher, mentor and a mother figure was too much for her to bare. She gave a silent prayer before putting her rose with the rest of the roses on the grave she stood for a couple of seconds before she left following her boyfriend. For Sakura there were three moments in her life who she considered them to be the most horrible days in her entire life. The first one when Sasuke left Konoha to joined Orochimaru, the second when she gave Naruto up to Hinata in order to make him happy and the last one was losing her teacher.

The ceremony lasted two hours before it ended and everyone left the memorial ground. A couple of people decided to stay a little longer to pay their respects to the female Hokage and Sakura was one of them. The pink haired medic stood gazing at the grave with never ending tears falling and Sasuke stood by her side conforming her it was his duty as her boyfriend. Not too far from them Naruto and Hinata were watching the couple with sorrow in their eyes. Naruto was upset on the inside wanting to be the one calm the pink haired woman he wanted to be have the privilege to get rid of her sadness and make her happy. But it couldn't be help that wasn't his job it was the Uchiha's job so he sadly accepted the painful truth. Hinata was only gazing at Sasuke it only made her feel terrible because she still hasn't spoken to him since her testimony during the council meeting. She missed her friend and yet it made her feel so uncomfortable to see Sakura with Sasuke and she didn't know why, it annoyed her and even out her in a bad mood which was very unlikely of her personality. They stood for a minute they eventually decided to leave wanting to give the couple their privacy.

After Sakura was done she left walking out with Sasuke and shortly it began to rain. The sky started weeping just like the people of Konoha for the loss of another great Hokage. Today was a sad day at the hidden leaf village it will be a sorrowful day indeed filled with rain.

(Naruto's apartment)

Naruto was laying on his bed just gazing at the ceiling of his room in deep thought. The funeral was on his mind the death of another precious person has filled his heart once again with pain. He hated goodbyes but worst than that he hated goodbyes forever because you will see those people that has passed away. When the third Hokage died he felt terrible it was the first feeling of pain he felt of losing someone dear to him. The elder Hokage was probably the person who raised him like he was his own child and protected him whenever he was about to be attacked by angry mobs. After Iruka Sarutobi was the second person who was like family to him someone very close to the blond, it was hard to move on when you lose important people. When he lost Jiraiya the pain was worst since he grew close to the toad sanin his teacher and mentor, it was like having a grandfather. It was ironic that he found out that he was his godfather his father's teacher which he and his mother Kushina took the name from the main character in his first novel. He also felt the pain and hatred when he arrived to destroy Konoha at the hands of Pain so many people dead including his team teacher Kakashi.

His hatred for the former Akatsuki increased seeing the destruction he caused on the village. The worst when he almost killed Hinata right in front of his eyes to triggering his hatred to the next level awakening the Kyuubi reaching six tails. His hatred was lifted when he convinced and changed the heart of Nagato the true face behind Pain to believe in true peace once again. He couldn't believe when he used his final jutsu which brought everyone back to life saving them from death. He saved them all and he was their hero but will be able to prevent any close people from dying, it was the whole reason why he has trained so hard for years. He thought about Sakura's crying face again and it hurt his heart again so much. He thought so many ways to make her happy again and forget the pain but he just couldn't that was Sasuke's job not his. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard someone knocking on his front door. He got up from his bed and left his room reaching the door he opened it only to see a teary eye Sakura still wearing her funeral clothes.

"Sakura-chan?"

The pink haired kunoichi hugged him quickly burying her face in his chest as she began to sob. Naruto blushed at the sudden action this was the second time she has hugged him. The hug was more intense than the previous one she gave him he accepted the embrace with the same intensity. He caressed her hair conforming her finally he was being her pillar of strength to get her through the pain she was experiencing his dream has come true. For him he felt like time has stopped and he just wanted it to remain like this nothing else matters to him the girl he has always love and wish all the happiness in the world for her was hugging him yearning for his warmth and conform. He took a sniffed smelling her wonderful scent how he loved the smell of fresh cherry blossoms it was intoxicating and very addictive he love it very much. Suddenly he started thinking about the kiss they shared a couple of weeks ago at the training field it was so passionate. The way both of their tongues were fighting for dominance like their lives depended on it and the sounds of her moans were so full of lust, it only motivate him to kiss her with more passion.

He calmed down and calmed himself remembering that his pink haired friend was off limits she was his best friend's girlfriend. He only focused on the hug hearing that Sakura was still sobbing in his chest he decided to hold her until she was done with her tears. That was the purpose of the hug to make her feel better to give her strength and conform. Even if Sasuke was the one who is supposed to do this but he will gladly take his place as the pillar of conform. Sakura slowly broke the hug and she stared into his cerulean eyes she that she loves so much they were gorgeous it always brings her peace just by staring at them. She felt so much better and safe being in his arms and all of the sudden she thought about the passionate they shared at the training field. She hold her blush now was not the time to think about such intimate acts she needed Naruto's conform and strength and maybe he can make her happy. While she heard her inner self who had a big grin on her face taking the chance that her outer shell was in the blonds' arms.

"Hell yeah this is what I'm talking about you have him right where you want him. Now go and get some of that hot blond!"

'Don't you start with me I just want to be with him?'

"And while you're at it rape his ass off have some guts hell yeah show him your wild side!"

'Quiet just leave me alone!'

"Don't you dare screw this up this is your perfect chance to take him?!"

Naruto smiled at her lovingly putting his hands on her shoulders to conform her" are you all right Sakura-chan?"

The pink haired medic nodded drying her tears but more came out" I'm fine Naruto-kun I'm sorry for disturbing you like that."

"It's all right I didn't minded at all" he replied hiding his blushing because he love the hug very much he wanted to be hug by the pink haired woman like that always.

The blond jounin closed the door" since you're here Sakura-chan would you like some hot chocolate?"

"Thank you I would love to" she replied smiling right now she just wanted to be with him.

Naruto lead her to the kitchen letting her seat on the small table. Sakura was impressed that his house was clean remembering the times she has come it was always a disaster zone. She smiled at least he has matured when it comes to cleaning his place, she waited happily for the hot chocolate he was about to make for her. Naruto was a little nervous he was about to make hot chocolate to Sakura which means that he had to make it the best hot chocolate ever. Luckily for him he bought a book about the art of making a unique hot beverage he liked the hot chocolate advices so he decided to give it a try. He poured the milk on a small pot while taking the chocolate which it was a different kind of brand it was the secret to make the hot chocolate to taste delicious he knew she would love it. It all depended if he made it right and he wasn't planning of screwing up he will make a good hot chocolate for the pink haired medic. Sakura couldn't help but smiled at the sight the blond was really focusing hard on making the hot chocolate like his life depended on it.

She finally noticed what he was wearing. Naruto was wearing just a simple orange shirt and short black pants reaching to his knees. The pants really did a good job in noticing his legs and his figure which she drooled a little at the muscles on his legs because of his years of hard training. She was now staring at the blond jounin through perverted eyes and licked her lips at the hot piece of blond making her hot chocolate like a loyal obedient man. It's like she had him wrapped in her little finger wanting to do every single one of her bidding, she imagined him ordering him to remove his clothes. She could see him now in his birthday suit while she was ready to tackle and jumped him claiming him as her winning sex prize. She felt herself getting wet at the erotic images coming from her dirty little mind imagining a naked Naruto handing her cup of hot chocolate. Screw the hot chocolate she was now staring at something hotter than anything she has ever drank, she blushed imagining Naruto pounding her fast and she was moaning like crazy begging him for more. Her inner self was grinning evilly seeing that her outer shell was falling to temptation again she decided to make her move.

"Oh yes Naruto-kun faster fuck me more oooohhhhh yes yes I love it NARUTO-KUN!!!"

"Yeah you can just imagine it can you?" inner Sakura was still grinning.

'Just shut up!'

"You're the one fantasying having sex with Naruto why don't you just give in to your desires and take him. He looks irresistible doesn't he?"

'Shut up shut up!!!'

"Here you go Sakura-chan its ready!" Naruto smiled at her putting the cup of hot chocolate on the table.

He noticed the far off expression on his friend's face" um…Sakura-chan did you hear me?"

"Huh…." she blushed a little looking at him.

"Sakura-chan you okay?" the blond was concerned for her.

"Huh….what?"

"I said if you're okay the hot chocolate is done?"

"Oh…yes of course the chocolate thanks Naruto-kun" she smiled forgetting about the erotic dream she had with the blond jounin.

"You sure you're okay?" Naruto thought the question was stupid of course she wasn't all right her teacher just died.

"Yes I'm fine I'm still dealing with Tsunade-sama's death but I have to face this sooner or later" she grabbed the cup of hot chocolate before taking a sip she smiled at the taste" mmm….this is very good Naruto-kun."

Naruto blush hearing that" you really like it?"

"Yes I have never tasted a good hot chocolate than this one before."

"Thanks I'm glad you like it. I really concentrated in making it very good just for you" he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Sakura smiled gazing down at her cup while blushing feeling happy he tried his best in making her the good chocolate" Naruto-kun….I'm sorry…"

"What?"

"I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed conform…I'm sorry….."

"What are you talking about Sakura-chan?" Naruto was more confused than before.

"I mean….when Jiraiya-sama died and you left upset I was about to go after you but Tsunade-sama told me to leave you alone to give you some time to think. I wanted to be there for you but I really couldn't because I didn't know….I didn't know the pain of losing someone so close to you. Now I know the pain of losing someone who was like a parent figure to you with Tsunade-sama gone I understand your pain. I just wish I could have understood your pain back then I hate myself for not being there for you when you needed a friend by your side I'm really sorry…." she started sobbing again.

"That's it Sakura-chan no more crying do you hear me?!" he pulled her closer as she put down her cup of hot chocolate" you're not allow to cry anymore please Sakura-chan you know I can't stand seeing you cry."

"I'm sorry but you know me….I have always been a cry baby" she chuckle sadly letting her tears fall.

"Come on Sakura-chan stop making yourself feel bad people cry it's a normal thing. It's normal that you're crying because granny is gone I feel terrible about it too I know how much she meant to you. It was the same thing how much pervy sage meant for me too."

He pulled some of her hair behind her ear and he took a box of tissues which he has reserved for these kinds of situations. He took one and used it to dry her tears making sure her face was clean from all the tears he only wanted to see her beautiful face to have a smile. As he cleaned her face his hand rested on her cheek and he stood gazing at her watching how beautiful she looks. Sakura has always been the most beautiful woman in his eyes she was just unique there was no one like her. In his eyes she was the ultimate sign of true beauty of a woman she was an angel and he will stay just like this admiring and gazing at her beauty forever. Sakura smiled at him sweetly loving his touch she was feeling better knowing how much Naruto will do to erase her pain and her tears replacing them with a smile. She touched his whisker cheek with the same lovingly touch smiling at him happy that he has conform and take away her pain he was by her side and that's all that matters to her.

The blond smiled at her" there we go that's much better just smile Sakura-chan you look better happy than sad."

"It's because you're here with me" she replied in a whisper once again she was speaking from her heart.

"I will always be there for you when you need a friend to make you feel better" he gave his fox grin and suppressed his blush at the close proximity he had with the pink haired beauty.

"I know you will always be there for me. We finally understand each other's pain smiling won't be enough….Naruto-kun let's heal our pain we need each other right?" she was still whispering to him as she began to lean her face closer to his face.

"As long as I have you as long were together that will always be enough to make me feel better" Naruto whispered back and he was also leaning face closer ready to crash his lips with his pink haired angel.

Sakura leaned her closer to Naruto wanting to claim his lips once again. To think Sasuke already knew she was coming here because he was the one who told her to come and visit the blond jounin. The Uchiha wasn't dumb knowing that she needed someone who will make her feel better and give her the comfort she needed to get through Tsunade's death. There was only one person who can take the right place as he pillar of strength and Sasuke knew who that person was.

"If you want to go to Naruto then it's all right with me you look terrible…I'm sorry if I can't help you…"

Sakura smiled in her head remembering her fake boyfriend's words. It proves how much the Uchiha has changed in these past years how hard he was trying to be good and gain acceptance from the villagers. She was truly glad to have a friend like him she grabbed Naruto's face with both of her hands ready to kiss him. Naruto blushed he just accepted her lovingly gesture before he closed his eyes, finally both of their lips met in a soft tender kiss. Naruto wrapped his arms around her back as he enjoy the kiss putting some force his action only made Sakura moaned softly. Both started having another tongue war as they began to moan in each other's mouths. Sakura ran her hands through his messy blond hair while hungrily tasting his lips and she really needed this so much. As they continued to moan due to passionate kiss Naruto was losing his restraint as his hormones were kicking into high gear. His hands reached down from her back until they reached her backside, he grabbed her ass and squeezed it making the pink haired medic moan in surprise. He grinned mentally because Sakura didn't hit him for the perverted action she like it after all. He started fondling her ass while Sakura was still moaning tasting his lips it made the blond jounin taking it a little further as he intended to lift the black skirt of her funeral uniform.

Sakura moaned as she deepened the kiss with her blond love. Every single action Naruto was doing to her was making her feel so hot and wet it's like he knew how she wanted to be pleasured and kissed, he knew her that well. She started groping him while tongue kissing him at the same time she felt Naruto lifting her funeral skirt and she didn't care she just wanted more pleasure from the blond jounin. She moaned louder as she felt Naruto's hands fondling her ass through her panties it was driving her insane with lust and passion. Suddenly dozens of thoughts started running through her head about the past how she used to treat Naruto. The beatings, the insults, how she used to say that Sasuke was way better than him, the burden she gave him to carry the promise of the life time letting him suffer for years. She stopped kissing Naruto before she was hit by a large wave of guilt and pain. She hold her tears she remembered the reason why she hand him over to Hinata as a parting gift in the first place. She didn't deserve him, his kindness, his love, his friendship nothing. She was the evil bitch who gave him nothing but pain because of her foolish selfish needs, she only deserve pain and suffering.

Naruto was confused when Sakura stopped kissing and took her distance from him. He saw her pulling her skirt down, he was panting from the kiss and the lack of air. His whole face was blushing while he was still taken over by his hormones and desires he's been holding back for a long time. He could feel his manhood in his pants was hard and throbbing like it was begging to penetrate a certain pink haired medic's womanhood he will have to hold that urge for now because of her sudden action. He was hurt that she rejected him and it annoyed him was she trying to toy with him, did she wanted to play with his feelings. He thought things through and it was better to ask her he knew she will never hurt his feelings but it made him wonder her actions. He knew she loves Sasuke so why was she even bothering with kissing him as much as he likes it.

"Sakura-chan….what's wrong?"

"I…I have to go Naruto-kun…."

"What's wrong with you Sakura-chan?" his tone was slightly upset" why the heck did you kissed me?!"

"I'm….sorry Naruto-kun…" Sakura was still holding her tears.

"What's wrong Sakura-chan isn't Sasuke enough?!" he yelled trying not to lose his cool.

"I have to go….thanks for the hot chocolate" she left the kitchen leaving his apartment.

Naruto ran his hand through his hair getting frustrated' what is wrong with you Sakura-chan I don't understand you?!'

He calmed down before leaving the kitchen thinking about the kiss and the fact that he has touched Sakura's ass he felt that nice round backside with his hand it really turned him on. He was still hard and he did the one thing he needed which it was two possible choices. One he will take a cold shower or two he will masturbate or perhaps he was going to do both.

(Training field number seven)

Naruto and Sasuke were having one of their many sparring matches. They were always sparing whenever they were free or a day off however they didn't go all out since they wanted to keep the training field intact and not turn it into a crater. Sasuke always takes a great enjoyment in training with his best friend and rival he always gives him a good fight, he was probably the only one in Konoha who can make him put up a real fight. Although he misses sparing with Hinata he hasn't heard from her in a couple of weeks since the council meeting he knew she was eventually avoiding him because of her hatred for him. Naruto was concentrating on his fight with the Uchiha while on the back of his head he was still thinking about what happened early at his apartment with Sakura. It was still bothering him it was the second kiss they had share and he can't get an explanation from the pink haired woman. The possibilities that she was just teasing him because he knew she wanted Sasuke more than anyone were high but he didn't want to admit such thing from his closest friend. Thinking about it was annoying so he only focus on the match.

Sasuke used an uppercut which Naruto dodged summoning a shadow clone to send a kick at the Uchiha. Sasuke grinned as he used a shuriken to hit the clone both were launching punches and kicks which both ninjas have been blocking and dodging. Naruto summoned a shadow clone charging at him this time Sasuke used his Kusanagi to hit the clone. He gasped when the clone jumped in high in the air and transformed into a giant shuriken. The real Naruto grabbed it and threw it straight at him, Sasuke grinned before using his chidori current to destroy the giant shuriken. The real Naruto threw kunais which Sasuke countered with his own kunais before a Naruto clone emerged from underground punching him. Naruto frowned when Sasuke turned into a snake wrapping its body around him while the shadow clone vanished. Sasuke appeared behind him pointing Kusanagi to his neck he was grinning.

"Looks like you lose dobe."

Naruto grinned vanishing in a cloud of smoke shocking the Uchiha Naruto and more shadow clones jumped at him as he used his chidori current to hit them all. They vanished while the real Naruto has formed a rasengan in his right hand. Sasuke grinned before forming chidori on his left hand the two ninjas charged at each other with one of their strongest attacks in hand.

"Rasengan!"

"Chidori!"

BOOM!!!

The training field was covered by a strong explosion. The trees were shaken while the ground was turned into a large crater. Not too far stood Naruto and Sasuke who were hanging from different tree branches looking at each other. It was another promising sparing match both could go a couple of rounds but it will turn into a real battlefield with their strength level. Naruto was grinning thinking to have a real fight with him where both will give their best until they are both drained from chakra and fall down from exhaustion. Of course that will be overdoing it and it was better to have a friendly match than a real one. Sasuke chuckle as he sheathed his sword Kusanagi gazing at his sparring partner who like him didn't looked tire at all.

"Not bad I guess that will be enough for today we could keep this up for a couple of hours more but let's leave it like that"

"Right we don't want to make Kakashin sensei angry for devastating a training field. Were not the only ones who train in them" replied Naruto.

The two ninjas jumped down before they started walking out of the field. Naruto was in deep thought thinking about the kiss the way Sakura kissed him so passionately, her moans of approval at the way he was touching her body. The more he thought about it the more it didn't make sense, the way she accepted and enjoyed his kiss it's very convincing for her to be pulling something on him. She would never do something like that so why would she kiss him when she's together with the Uchiha. He was thinking too much about the whole thing he will eventually het a headache while gazing at the raven haired ninja walking next to him.

"Sasuke?"

"Hn?"

"Are you doing all right with Sakura-chan?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know…is everything okay between you guys?"

The Uchiha already knew what he was talking about" you mean about our relationship?"

"Yeah that…"

"Why do you ask?" he was now looking at the blond.

"I'm Sakura-chan's friend I think I have a right to know if she's happy with you I worry about her."

The Uchiha grinned at his friend's answer but he knew the truth according to what Ino told him. That he still has feelings for her he loves her very much he needed to play it cool and keep him in the conversation until he spill the beans. But he should really keep himself from talking about the topic since there's nothing he could do he was bound by his girlfriend's promise. He was going to play the right buttons if he wanted this to go smoothly.

"Sakura and I are doing fine with our relationship" he replied coolly making sure he said it very convincing and it doesn't raised any suspicions that it was a lie.

"I see….then I guess everything is okay Sakura-chan is happy that's good" Naruto gave a smile but it was a fake smile and Sasuke could tell his façade.

"Actually Naruto I want to ask you something?"

"What?"

"I'm sure you can be honest with me….were buddies right?"

"Yeah of course were friends why would you ask?!" the blond was puzzle but somehow he had a gut feeling that it wasn't anything good.

"It's not in my place to be asking such personal questions because it's not my business. I will make an exception this time Naruto…..do you like Hinata?"

"Huh….what?" Naruto was shocked while he was right about the terrible feeling in his gut.

"You heard me do you like Hinata?" he looked back at him waiting for his response.

"What are you talking about of course I like her she's my girlfriend?" he hide any feeling that will make him feel nervous.

"You sure?"

"Yes I'm sure I like Hinata-chan I couldn't be any happier with her!" he raised his tone to prove that he was telling the truth.

'He needs to come clean' the Uchiha thought seeing through his lies" Naruto that's enough….I know the truth…"

"What truth?" Naruto felt more nervous than before.

"I know that you still like Sakura a lot."

Naruto turned pale but he didn't stood quiet" I do care about Sakura-chan because she's my friend and I worry about her!"

Sasuke growled looking at him" cut the bullshit I know that you still love her because you kissed her at the training field a couple of weeks ago!"

That was enough to scare Naruto out of his mind. The blond jounin has turned pale from head to toe hearing the terrifying truth coming out of his best friend. Even if it was the best day in his entire life it was also the worst because he was betraying Sasuke's trust. The truth was out and now Naruto knew he was going to get angry with him for still loving his girlfriend let alone for kissing her. Today he was going to lose his friendship with the Uchiha knowing that he will hate him for what he did. To think he thought no one was going to find out he was wrong the only thing he could do is to stay quiet and hear the upcoming insults and the beatings coming from Sasuke. Gazing at the raven haired Uchiha he was surprised that there wasn't anger in his expression it was a regular gaze, there was trace of anger or hurt in his face.

"Sasuke….I…I'm sorry….I didn't….it was just…..Sakura-chan…." he was scared nervous everything but most of all he was afraid he was going to lose his friendship, the Uchiha was one of his precious friends in his circle of precious people.

"It's all right I'm not mad at you" he replied with no anger or malice his voice was calm and cool.

"What?" the blond was dumbfounded by his comment.

"I'm not angry with you Naruto it doesn't surprise me. You have always love Sakura since the academy who knows even longer than that so I don't hate you for kissing her."

The blond jounin was still dumbfounded thinking that he heard wrong while blinking" what….what did you say?"

The Uchiha got annoyed" I'm not upset with you dobe how many times do I have to say it?!"

Naruto cleaned both of his ears hoping that he was hearing right or perhaps his mind was playing tricks on him" what's going on Sasuke….you just said you're not angry with me for kissing Sakura-chan?!"

"No I'm not…"

"But she's your girlfriend you're supposed to be upset with me and getting jealous and stuff it doesn't sound right that you're fine with it. I mean I'll be angry if someone kisses Sakura-chan!"

Sasuke grinned" Hinata is your girlfriend shouldn't it be the other way around?"

The blond jounin was blushing for his mistake the cat was out of the bag now" I….I guess…right I will be angry if someone kisses Hinata-chan…"

"Oh please drop the act dobe I know the truth you love Sakura so stop denying it."

Naruto sighed" I'm sorry Sasuke."

"I said I'm not angry it's okay."

"Don't worry I won't try and take her from you I would never do such a thing."

"I know you won't" he replied but his expression was in deep thought.

"Sasuke-kun please promised me you won't tell a word about Naruto-kun. It's not right let him be happy with Hinata she's the only one who will love him the right way."

Sasuke remembered Sakura's words as his close friend he promised her he won't say nothing to Naruto about the pink hared woman's feelings towards the blond and he will keep his word. But now things have gotten complicated, finding out that Naruto still loves Sakura was making harder on him to keep his word. Naruto had the right to know the truth but in doing Hinata will be the one to suffer in heartbreak. He growled mentally it was never easy life was always a pain in the ass and love was truly complicated it annoyed him.

'Love sucks' he thought getting back to his best friend" so the truth is you don't love Hinata?"

"I do love her we've been together for three years its been great being with her it's just…."

"You don't love her the same way you love Sakura" Sasuke finished for him.

"I guess I'm happy being with her and all but I feel like something is wrong. Don't get me wrong I had a good relationship with her but I feel like it's not the same anymore something is missing" replied Naruto.

"It's not the same and it doesn't feel right because you don't love her as much as you love Sakura. It's a simple answer coming from someone who is clueless to the topic of love" said the Uchiha speaking about himself.

"I'm just like you Sasuke I don't have a clue about love it's so complicated and confusing. I have been trying to understand the concept of love for a long time and I still can't find answer, I thought looking for peace for hard but this its worst than anything!"

"I know but about Hinata, if you don't love her then you're having a fake relationship with her?"

"I wouldn't call it a fake relationship I like spending time with her and getting together."

"But you don't love her it does sounds like its fake no matter what pretty words you use to cover it up it are a fake relationship because there's no love. It's better to say that you like being with her because you like her as your friend."

"That sounds right I have never questions my feelings for Hinata-chan because I was always thinking about Sakura-chan but it doesn't matter I like things to be this way."

"You don't really mean that?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him.

"I do Sakura-chan is happy with you because she loves you" Narutp replied with a smile.

'Damn it keeping a promise has become a pain in the ass!' growled the Uchiha.

"Are you going to continue being together with Hinata?"

"I guess I don't mind being with her."

"Why are you together with her when you don't love her?"

Naruto stopped walking he has been asked the question he has been trying to avoid but he already knew the answer" I want Hinata-chan to be happy, I don't want to be the cause of her heartbreak."

"You don't want to hurt her feelings?"

"Hinata-chan has always loved me since the academy. She has always admired me and watched me from afar now I have made her dream come true. I don't want to shatter her dream to pieces by leaving her I will never hurt her feelings."

Sasuke chuckle at his comment making the blond to looked at him" you're as selfless as ever dobe always thinking about others before yourself. You haven't thought about it, you don't want to leave Hinata because you don't want hurt her feelings but don't you think she will be hurt if she finds out that you're pretending to love her?"

"What?!" Naruto's eyes widened in shock" that's…."

"It's true Hinata will be hurt if she finds out that you don't really love her and the only reason you're together with her it's because you want to keep her happy."

"And what's wrong with that?"

"Naruto use your head think about it. Hinata loves you but you don't love her back and you're pretending to love her all for the sake to keep her happy. But you're not giving her true happiness because you don't love her like she loves you!"

Naruto gasped in realization with the Uchiha's comment it had opened his eyes. He imagined the Hyuga heiress getting hurt because he doesn't loves her she's not happy because he doesn't loves her equally like herself towards him. He lowered his gaze staring at the ground as he stopped walking feeling ashamed of himself.

"I am just trying to keep her happy that's all…."

"I know but it's not going to work you're too selfless for your own good. Sometimes being selfless is wrong" he thought about Sakura and how much she was suffering" believe me I know…"

"She doesn't have to find out that I pretend to love her" replied Naruto in a soft tone.

"If you can pretend well but you honestly you can't. I was able to tell and noticed that you still like Sakura if someone like me could tell Hinata will notice too."

"So how do you know that Sakura-chan and I kissed at the training field?" Naruto said with some suspicion in his voice.

"I saw it all" Sasuke replied calmly he didn't wanted to tell that Ino was the one who saw the whole kissing scene he didn't wanted the Yamanaka to get in trouble, he was protecting her as a friend.

"And you didn't went to interfere for crying out loud I was kissing your girlfriend!" said the frowning blond.

"I thought you guys needed some privacy you guys were very busy I doubt you will pay attention to me" Sasuke said coolly.

"You got to be kidding me and you weren't angry at all?!"

"Why are you upset Naruto?"

"Because you're not angry with me it doesn't makes sense!" Naruto gasped" wait….Sasuke do you love Sakura-chan?"

'Damn I was certain he wasn't going to ask me that question what do I do now I can't tell him the truth?'

"Of course I love her."

"Are you sure because you're behavior with the fact that I kissed her doesn't suit of a loyal boyfriend" it was Naruto's turn to ask the questions and play investigator.

"I do love her but I didn't mind that you kissed her you're my best friend so I didn't have to get mad with you for kissing my girlfriend."

"Huh?" Naruto was completely taken by the answer he was more confused than ever.

"But you better not do it again…or else" Sasuke gave him a serious look enough to convince not to kiss his girlfriend again.

The blond jounin saw his expression and his tone and gulped" of course I won't do it again it was just a mistake nothing else. I promise you I won't do it again."

'Yeah…a mistake….' Sasuke thought about the kiss he had with Hinata it was the same thing he told her but he felt like he was lying to himself.

Suddenly Naruto put his hand on his shoulder snapping him from his thoughts smiling at him" I will never betray my best friend so rest assure that Sakura-chan is safe in your hands not mine."

"Thanks…dobe…" his replied was soft but he smiled thinking the same thing realizing the truth about his two friends.

"But anyway next time I won't lose to you because I was holding back on you."

"Heh don't get cocky with me dobe I was holding back too. I wasn't using my sharingan or you would have been in big trouble."

"Yeah right if I was in sage mode you would have been in big trouble too. There's no way you will last against me" the blond grinned.

"All you do is talk and no action dobe" Sasuke grinned hoping to have another match with him.

Suddenly Naruto pulled him a headlock and started giving him noggins" this is my secret jutsu noggin attack!"

"Damn it dobe stop it!" said the pissed Sasuke.

"Ha you can't escape from my technique!"

Sasuke broke free glaring at him" that's it dobe you're dead!"

"I am so scared" Naruto was smirking taking his threat like he was joking.

"How about I shove a chidori on your ass?!"

"Ha you wouldn't?!"

"Watch me!"

"Ah crap!"

Naruto started running for his life being chased by an angry Uchiha charging his chidori all over the training field. Of course they were having one of their usual fights like they were little kids they were just having fun with saying death threats in Sasuke's case. Eventually they got tire and head back before sharing a laugh before Sasuke smacked his friend for giving him noggins.

(Forest near the Konoha village district)

Sasuke was in his usual spot to relax his mind doing his usual meditating. Meditating was the only thing he needed right now and it wasn't to decrease his hatred for Konoha for once. So many things were going on in his head and meditating was the best solution to probably solve his problem. His friends, teammates' closest friends were having problems when it came to their feelings for one another. Naruto loves Sakura but he wants her to be happy with the guy she loves which it was him but that was wrong. He knew Sakura loves Naruto but he promised her not to say a word to Naruto about her feelings because she wanted him to be happy with Hinata. But Naruto didn't love Hinata because he loves Sakura and it was back to square one. Both of them were suffering a lot because they couldn't have each other but who the hell said that they can't be together. It annoyed him that both of them have become so selfless it was sickening, they just wanted the best for the other and not for themselves. In the end the one who will be hurt was Hinata because of her love for Naruto. He growled in his meditating because of the hard thinking and no good solution came to his mind without hurting the Hyuga heiress.

'Damn it all this thinking is giving me a headache I can't even meditate right!'

He suddenly felt a presence near him and he smiled knowing who it was. He felt so relief and happy of course he didn't show it and resumed his meditating as the person was approaching him slowly getting closer to him. He felt as the person has gotten seated next to him in the same meditating state before he spoke to familiar person.

"Came to join me in the meditation Hinata?" he opened one eye gazing at the Hyuga heiress.

"Yes I hope you don't mind?" she smiled at him.

"Hn" it was his way of saying yes.

Hinata didn't understand him but she began her meditation until she stopped and gazed back at him. It was killing her and she needed to talk to him at least tell him what was bothering her so much ever since the incident at the mission to grass village. Then his words hurt her and she was upset with him that she went far to stop seeing him but the pain got worst as it backfired on her. She gazed at him concentrated on his meditating when in truth he was waiting what she has to say to him and he had a feeling it was about the incident that lead both of them to kiss during their mission.

"Sasuke-kun?"

"No talking in meditation Hinata or maybe you came to me for another reason?" he replied opening one eye again.

"There is….I'm sorry."

"Huh…"

"I'm sorry Sasuke-kun I came to apologize for avoiding you during the past weeks I don't know why I did such a horrible thing."

"It's all right I figure you needed some space to think things through. I know you have every reason to hate me."

Hinata was shocked looking at him with concern" no of course not…I don't hate you or any of the sort why would you think that?"

"I just thought about it I have that kind of luck if you haven't realized yet…"

"Well you're wrong I don't hate you I just needed to say how sorry I am for avoiding you. I didn't realize before but you of all people you have become a closest friend of mine and important friend, I want you to know that you mean a lot to me" she paused before blushing at the way she said it.

The Uchiha by now has opened both eyes gazing at her with some shock hearing her speech" you really see me like that?"

"Of course I think that way of you why do you sound so shock?"

"You do realize who you're talking to right?" he still couldn't believe she thought so dearly of him.

"Yes I do I'm talking to Sasuke-kun someone who is trying hard to gain the trust from the people of the village while trying to erase his hatred for the same village who has being enjoying the peace that was brought for the sacrifice of his older brother."

Sasuke was shocked with wide eyes he couldn't believe Hinata just said. It's like she already knew him more than anyone in the village everything she said was true. He couldn't contain the small smile that has formed in his lips it's like she could read him like an open book he was happy for her comment.

"You're right as long as I meet people like you it won't be so hard to fulfill that goal thanks…"

She blushed as she smiled turning her gaze away from him" so are you upset with me for avoiding you?"

"I'm not there is no reason for me to be angry at you I'm glad you chose to come talk to me. It's strange we never talked back at the academy or when we were young but you seem to know me well."

"I know but the present is all that matters and we have spend time enough to know each other well" she replied feeling happy that their friendship was still intact.

"Maybe I can play the game too and say how much I know you" Sasuke gazed at her while she was surprise to hear him say that" I think I know you Hinata. I can see it in your eyes."

"What do you mean?" she asked and she felt her cheeks heating up.

"When I look at you I can see why you push yourself hard every day and continued to train hard, you want your father to acknowledge you."

The Hyuga heiress eyes widened as the Uchiha continued" you want him to be proud of you to praise you and tell you that you have made the clan proud of your strength. You want him to smile at you and say as I expect from my daughter…." his onyx eyes softened thinking about his father and his past goal to be acknowledged and make the Uchiha clan proud of him like they were of Itachi.

Hinata stood shocked at what she just heard from the Uchiha everything was true he was right. That was her reason for her training and will to get stronger it was her ninja way to have her father's acknowledgement since there was someone who only had his approval and acknowledgement. She hoped that her father will looked at her the same way he looks at her rival or more precise her younger sister.

Hinata entered the dojo section of the Hyuga clan household. Her pale eyes gazed at the person training, she saw her father Hiashi who was paying attention to the training holding his cane as usual. The person training was none other than her sister Hanabi showing some of her moves proving her skills as a member of the clan's main branch. Hanabi was wearing a clan robe similar to Neji's but it was colored dark green with white, the skirt was black and the sandals were black as well. The ten year old has let her hair grow like her older sister but unlike her she had it tied in a pony tail so it didn't get in the way of her training. She was a chunin which she was on her way to take the jounin exams trying to break her cousin Neji's record of becoming jounin at the age of fifteen it was one of the many reasons why she was training so hard. Hinata has always admired Hanabi because of her strength she was the prodigy of the main branch while Neji was the prodigy of the second branch household. After all her training she still needed more to get stronger and for her father to notice her achievement, she smiled gazing at the young Hyuga training.

Hiashi hit the ground with his cane" that will be enough for today Hanabi you have done a good job as always. There is no doubt that you're ready to take the jounin exams I know you will make the main branch proud as the elders as well as myself too."

"Thank you father" replied Hanabi before she noticed her older sister standing at the entrance of the dojo.

"Yes Hinata what is it?" Hiashi said seeing his daughter.

Hinata bowed" father I came to talk to you about good news."

"Very well Hanabi you can go back now good job I expected no less from my daughter."

Hanabi nodded before smiling at Hinata and leaving the dojo. Hinata was smiling but her smile was clearly a fake smile she was hurt it was always the same. Her father will praise his sister but nothing to her or even a simple good job for her training. Perhaps with her good news she will finally gain what she has always wanted in her entire life and the proof of her hard training.

"What kind of good news do you have for me?" asked the head of Hyuga clan.

"Father I have been nominated to take the jounin exams" she smiled hoping that her father will praise her.

"I see...." Hiashi's replied was stern" then you can take the exams together with Hanabi we must set a example to the village that the Hyuga's main branch is stronger than ever by having two members reaching the rank of jounin earlier than expected is that all?"

"Well I….I have recently started a relationship with Naruto-kun…."

"What?" Hiashi's expression was shocked" are you saying you have gotten together with Namikaze Naruto?"

"Yes father."

"This is an interesting turn of events then this leaves me no choice. I was originally planning to make Hanabi the heiress of the clan's main branch once she becomes a jounin but this changes everything for the better. Hinata you're back to being the heiress of the clan I must speak to the elders at once" he left the dojo.

"But father….." Hinata paused knowing that her father will not listen since he was gone already.

She stood on the dojo feeling hurt hearing his words. As always he didn't praise her for her achievement in being nominated to the jounin exams or the fact that she has gotten together with the hero of Konoha. A couple of tears fell from her eyes failing once again to gain his acknowledgement and a praise that she rightfully deserves and once again she was in her younger sister's shadow not strong enough to become worthy as the heiress of the clan. It torn her heart that Hiashi has only chosen her to be the heiress of clan because she got together with Naruto nothing more it was just clan's business before her happiness, she sighed as she left heading to her room so she could cry some of her tears away.

"I know how you feel Hinata" Sasuke said looking at her" because I was just like you in the past I long and crave acknowledgement from my father to make him and the clan proud of me. I was nowhere near Itachi's level he was always better than me at everything and I just kept being in his shadow while he surpassed everyone in the clan becoming a prodigy. I was still the same as always and even if I trained hard to get strong like him I couldn't I was always behind him. Then I learned the fire ball jutsu and my father actually praised me for my success he was so happy and proud of me I was happy too. As expected of my son that's what he told me on that day" Sasuke's smile was faint but visible.

"Just like me and Hanabi" Hinata replied in a whisper looking back at him with tears forming on the corner of her eyes" I guess we do have something in common after all acknowledgement from our father's."

"But that's all in that past it doesn't matter anymore since my father and everyone from the clan are dead I can't look for acknowledgement anymore if he's gone forever."

"You can still gain acknowledgement from your friends as well as the village I know it's not the same from being acknowledge by your father but at least you will have a purpose to live in the right path then following a dark path."

"Revenge….the path of an avenger I know very well about that dark path I just don't know anymore what's right or wrong my friends matter to me the most but what about my hatred for this village. It won't go away and I feel like it's hopeless I feel like I will hate Konoha forever."

"As long as you still have friends that care for you it won't matter just remember that not everyone hates you?"

Sasuke nodded before Hinata hugged him unexpectedly making him blush at the surprise. Hinata hugged him quickly before she broke the hug she felt her heart skipping a beat and she started blushing.

She smiled at him" I better get going thanks for still being my friend Sasuke-kun."

She left while Sasuke got annoyed mentally scolding himself' damn now it's impossible for me to do something about it, I don't want her getting heartbroken this can't possibly get any more complicated?'

(Time skip: evening)

(Village district Market Street)

The merchants were working hard to sell their goods even in the nighttime of Konoha. The streets were filled with people since the market street is one of the places in the villages which it's always crowded. It's like no one ever slept in this part of the village but they were still going working in their business while they were still having customers it was good for them and their business. Sakura was walking the streets looking very tire she had just left the hospital after taking an entire day shift. She was still wearing her medical clothes always busy in her work considered that she was always hard working in her line of duty. She left happily wanting to get some rest even if Ino have asked her after leaving the hospital to go shopping with her. She love going shopping but this time she had to declined the Yamanaka's request her day today was very tiring and stressful. Now she was heading too her apartment to get a warm shower or a bubble bath which ever was more relaxing and get some shut eye. She really needed rest although there was a part of her who didn't wanted rest after what happened today with a certain blond jounin which she held powerful feelings. She blushed remembering the second kiss she shared with Naruto it was more passionate than the first one they had at the training field.

"There we go that's much better Sakura-chan just smile you look better happy than sad."

"I will always be there for you whenever you need a friend to make you feel better."

"As long as I have you as long as were together that will always be enough to make me feel better."

She smiled remembering Naruto's words it also bring tears to her eyes. Remembering all the pain he has endured since he was little the glares, the insults, the beatings everything and he was still walking tall smiling. Even if she knew that smile he used to make was fake hiding his pain he was just dying to get some attention some acknowledgement. She somehow understood his pain he wanted acknowledgement from the villagers she wanted acknowledgement too but she found her source for acknowledgement from Sasuke. It wasn't real love she felt for the Uchiha it was admiration, seeing how strong and cool he was. He was the perfect person to gain acknowledgement from everyone by having him as her boyfriend so that the kids who used to tease her because of the size of her forehead see that she wasn't a loser and a crybaby. But it got the better of her as her admiration turned into a crush which turned into a full obsession and because of that she started hurting the one person who used to love her so much even if she has given her share of pain and suffering.

"Please…..Naruto just bring him back it's the only thing I want in this world please bring Sasuke-kun back. I tried convincing him but I failed I couldn't change his mind, you're the only one who can bring him back please!"

"You really love Sasuke don't you Sakura-chan?" asked the thirteen year old Naruto looking at her standing with Shikamaru, Kiba, Chouji and Neji ready to leave the village to retrieve Sasuke.

Sakura looked at him with tears falling from her eyes unable to answer him but to the blond ninja and everyone else present they already know the answer. Naruto already suspected that she must have told the Uchiha that she loves him but it wasn't good enough to convince Sasuke and she gave her a fake smile hiding his pain because his love wasn't return by her and it was killing him slowly.

"I know you love Sasuke….I understand how much you're suffering I feel it too" he gave a big smile before giving her a thumbs up" I swear I'll bring him back that's a promise of a life time it can't never be broken believe it!"

Sakura continued to sobbed thinking about the blond and everything he has done for her. She remembered when Sasuke asked her what she thinks of Naruto. She stupidly answered him that he was an immature idiot who didn't understood her and he was always getting in her way that he enjoyed enjoying to make her struggle, he was just annoying. She couldn't have been anymore wrong the person in front of her is risking his life to bring back her teammate and the person she loves so he can be together with them and reunite team seven once again. She tried to smile but she couldn't because she was still crying while hugging herself.

"Naruto….thank you!"

'He always knew….he always understood me….he always been there for me…' she gazed at Naruto who was still giving her the thumbs up while blushing she never noticed her heart skipping a beat.

Sakura has stopped walking the street as she let her tears fall remembering that day. She felt so relief when Naruto made her the famous promise of the life time but it was terrible for him knowing all the pain he was going through and it got worse when he made that promise. Yet he smiled at her and told her everything will be fine that he will fulfill his promise even if she decided to help him bring the Uchiha back to the village.

"Sakura-chan….I will bring Sasuke back it's a promise of the life time!" Naruto said seated in the hospital bed his face covered in bandages after returning from the Sasuke retrieval mission which ended in failure.

"Naruto…." Sakura said looking at him with so much concern and pity although she hated herself because there was nothing she could do but to watched as her teammate risked his life to bring back Sasuke while she stay at the village.

Tsunade and Shikamaru were watching the two with some pity in their eyes. Knowing how much Sasuke meant to them but it was killing Naruto even more because he knows he will never have the love of the girl he has always love for so long no matter what he does for her. The only thing he could do is fulfill her happy wishes and watch her smile when she sees Sasuke back in the village so she can be together with him, it was Naruto's will and it was going to be done.

Naruto smiled at her" not going back on my word is my ninja way….I will bring back Sasuke believe it!"

Sakura looked at him and his smiling face was reflected in her jade eyes revealing the one person she truthfully, secretly and unaware love and wanted with a desire all along. She wasn't going to realize her true feelings until it will be too late to do anything at all. She left the room opening the door she looked back at him with a smile she knew what to do.

"I'm sorry Naruto but it looks like I will have to keep you waiting again…"

Naruto only smiled at her seeing the way she was looking at him he felt his heart skipping a beat wanting the moment to never end.

Sakura gave him a confident smile before she left" next time we'll do it together."

She dried her tears but she failed more tears were leaving from her jade eyes. For two and a half years she trained under one of the legendary sanins in order to help Naruto bring Sasuke back but she didn't help at all. She was still a burden and she didn't felt anymore useless that she have ever had before. She imagined how much pain Naruto has been going through for not having his best friend beside him and not having his feelings returned by her. How much he has suffered because she was thinking of the Uchiha and he knew how much she loves him that it was breaking him apart. His heart was shattered and he still took the courage to stand up and continue to fulfill his promise. In the end he didn't fulfilled and she him very well that deep down inside of him he felt terrible with himself he probably hated himself for not keeping his word to her. It didn't mattered to her she didn't care if he risked his life and put his feelings and happiness aside he just wanted to make her happy with having Sasuke back with her. She decided that she wasn't going to her apartment not yet, she took another direction in the street there was only one place she wanted to go right now.

'I need a drink!'

"No you don't need a drink you need Naruto it's that simple" inner Sakura replied.

'I am ignoring you to me you don't exist' she has finally come to the decision to ignored her inner persona.

Inner Sakura on the other hand didn't like her comment" ha we'll see how long you can keep ignoring me you are almost reaching your limit it won't be long before you suffer from an emotional breakdown. It's just like Tsunade-sama said everyone has a limit and you're about to reach it turn back now and let it all out tell Naruto the truth before it's too late!"

'I really need a drink maybe it can help me get deaf so I don't hear her voice.'

"I heard that!"

(Not too far in the market street)

Hinata was walking the street with depression clearly written all over her face. So many things were going through her head right now it was filling her with stress and she didn't know what to do. She was glad and relief that she finally patch things up with Sasuke but things were far from over her problems were only beginning. The first thing was her feelings for her boyfriend she has never question her feelings for Naruto before because she was certain what she felt for him was true love. But lately she has been questioning if she really felt love for the blond jounin she care for him a lot and she love spending time with him but there was something missing. Even in the times when she has been intimate with him there was something that wasn't right yet she wasn't upset with him when Naruto screamed Sakura's name in their last oral sex session. No anger or jealousy nothing she didn't know why she was his girlfriend she love him but what was wrong, why was she feeling like it wasn't the same anymore. The second thing that got her depressed is that her father has asked her again about the wedding preparation to marry Naruto and she wasn't ready to marry him. Or perhaps in truth she didn't want to marry him why was the only thing she was asking in her mind.

Then she thought about Sasuke and it was different with him. She enjoyed being with the Uchiha she was telling the truth he was her closest friend. She didn't know the reason why she has been having sexual dreams with the Uchiha perhaps it was her feminine side which it was caused by temptation after all she hasn't had any sexual relations with her boyfriend so it was normal. But she was having the dreams quite frequently and it was driving her crazy filling her with lust and desire. It frustrated her so much she shouldn't be having such impure thoughts of someone who isn't her boyfriend a voice on the back of her head said otherwise and she like it. Not to mention that every time she was near Sasuke she got these feelings she didn't understood strong feelings that were hard to figure it out. She was hurt when he told her those cold words back at the mission to grass village that they were just friends nothing else, why it hurt so much. But his words from today have given her so much joy and these feeling grew stronger as she started thinking about the Uchiha.

"When I look at you I can see why you push yourself and continue to train hard, you want your father to acknowledge you."

"You want him to be proud at you to praise you and tell you that you have made the clan proud with your strength. You want him to smile at you and say as I expect from my daughter…."

"I know how you feel Hinata because I was just like you in the past I long and crave for acknowledgement from my father to make him and the clan proud of me. I was nowhere in Itachi's level he was always better than me at everything and I just kept being in his shadow while he surpassed everyone in the clan becoming a prodigy. I was still the same as always and even if I trained hard to get strong like him I couldn't I was always behind him. Then I learned the fire ball jutsu and my father actually praise me for my success he was so happy and proud of me I was happy too. As expected of my son that's what he told me on that day."

"But that's all in the past it doesn't matter anymore since my father and everyone from the clan are dead, I can't look for acknowledgement anymore if my father is gone forever."

A couple of tears escaped from her pale eyes while she smiled hearing his words. Sasuke understood her pain and her cause it felt good to have someone who understands what you're going through. Yet Naruto wanted acknowledgement from the village and he doesn't know the reason of her constant hard training because she hasn't told him which it was strange. Naruto is her boyfriend and as a couple they had the right to tell each other their troubles and pain but she didn't bother to tell him. Sasuke guessed but it was from personal experience because he understood her from the times he has spent with her. Part of her was hurt hearing about the death of his clan by his older brother losing everything he held dear in his life. It was worst when she found the truth behind the Uchiha massacre it was because Itachi follow the elders order to eliminate the clan because they were planning a rebellion against the village. She was able to understand his pain for losing his whole family and clan, losing the people you wanted acknowledgement the reason he was always training hard. She wanted to help him and be there for him whenever she could she was his friend after all just like his teammates Naruto and Sakura.

She walked passing the crowds while passing a bar and that was the only thing that came to her mind. She stressed and depressed there was one thing she needed that could possibly help her forget about all of her troubles. She never thought she will make the choice but right now she wanted to try it, she needed a drink. Not just any drink but sake although she wasn't a heavy drinker in alcoholic beverages this was one of those times that she needed to drink some sake. She reached the bar but she was surprised to see Sakura heading to the bar as well, she could see her expression she wasn't doing good either looks like she wasn't the only one with a lot problems in mind.

"Sakura-san?"

The pink haired medic blink seeing the Hyuga heiress and she smiled" Hinata how are you doing?"

"I'm not all right I have a lot to think about…" she replied with a sigh.

Sakura got worried about her" that's too bad you don't seem well are you sick we can go to the hospital so I can give you a check up?"

"No it's not that I am not sick thank you for your concern I'm just a little stressed out so many thing in my mind."

"I see I know what you mean me, I'm kind of having the same problem too. I have a lot of work at the hospital and some problems I wish I could solve but I just can't find any answers that will help me. So why are you here?"

"Well this is the closest bar from my home…." she smiled nervously feeling embarrassed about the fact she was going to a bar to drink.

"Huh what do you mean you're going to this bar?" Sakura was puzzled with some shock written in her face" why do you want to go to a bar?"

"I just want to…." Hinata started.

"To drink" Sakura finished for her eyes were wide" you want to drink sake?"

The Hyuga heiress blushed" I guess….I know it's not like me to drink something like sake but right now I…."

"I need a drink" the finished in unison.

"What you too Sakura-san?"

"Yeah I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that problems can be solved with alcohol."

"Even if it's not true I don't think someone's troubles can be solved with drinking sake."

The pink haired medic smiled at her" let's give a try shall we I'm that desperate."

"Me too"

"Then let's go I'll buy."

"It's all right Sakura-san I'll buy I'm the heiress of the Hyuga clan let me do the honors."

"If you say so then" she replied with a giggle.

They both entered the bar heading to one of the tables. One of the waitresses that work in the bar came to them ready to take their order, Sakura made the order of four bottles of sake shocking the waitress a little. She was afraid that they could die of alcohol poisoning right now Sakura didn't care if she gets pig drunk and throws up her entire lunch and breakfast the same with Hinata. A couple of minutes later the waitress returned with the four bottles of sake, she kindly placed the bottles on the table. The two kunoichis smiled as Sakura took one of the bottles and poured some sake on Hinata's glass followed by pouring some on her glass. They raised their glasses ready to make a toast and hoping they won't have to worry about their problems again although it was a desperate and hopeless move to make.

"Well here's to forget our problems!" Sakura said.

"To forget our problems" replied Hinata.

They drank their first glass and it immediately hit their taste buds like a wave hitting the shores of a beach.

"Mmm…whoa so this is how sake taste like I thought it will taste different but this. I can see now why Tsunade-sama liked drinking it so much."

"I admit it doesn't tastes so bad I never thought an alcoholic drink will taste quite good" Hinata said with a smile.

Sakura drank her first glass quickly" yeah that really hit the spot I don't feel any of my troubles washing away by the sake."

"Maybe we have to drink more than one glass" Hinata said finishing her first glass too.

"Yeah that has to be it more sake Hinata?"

"Thank you" she smiled receiving her second glass.

"To forget our problems by getting drunk!" Sakura raised her glass.

"You say it Sakura-san I will drink to that."

(Time skip)

After two hours of drinking sake both kunoichis have drank three of the four bottles they have ordered. They say women can't contain alcohol like men who were stronger at resisting the alcohol effect and they were right. Both Sakura and Hinata were completely drunk as they continued to drink opening the fourth bottle, Sakura poured sake on Hinata's glass which since poured some of it on the table. The Hyuga heiress quickly drank the sake in one shot without even breathing as she started giggling from the intoxication she was feeling. Sakura chuckle seeing everything around her spin around and around but she felt so great like she was flying she took her glass and drank it in one shot just like Hinata. By now the people who were at the bar were watching them while shaking their heads knowing that women shouldn't be drinking too much sake. They continued to drink hoping to drink the last bottle sin they can order another bottle.

Sakura giggle pouring more sake on her glass" whoa hehe I am not feeling any more trouble I guess the sake works how about you Hinata?"

"Hehe I'm feeling so happy I'm not feeling troubled anymore. You were right Sakura-san the sake did the work please more sake I want to feel free hehe…." she giggled more as the pink haired medic poured more sake on her glass.

"Here you go my friend more of the heavenly juice and let's toast for a happy life and for Tsunade-sama who is resting peacefully on the other side I am going to miss her so much *hiccup*"

"I will drink to that everyone must feel the happiness especially in love let's drank to all of those happy couples out there."

"Amen to that sister let's drink for true love!"

"Cheers!"

They both drank their glasses while smiling while Sakura was chuckling and before she know it she felt depressed and sorrow enter in her system. She poured more sake to her glass thinking about her troubles and a couple of tears were falling from her eyes and yet she was smiling. Hinata took the bottle of sake to poured more on her glass until she saw her friend who was crying. She immediately became concern for the pink haired woman why would she be sad when she was drinking the heavenly sake which was the thing they needed to escape their troubles.

"Sakura-san what's wrong you're crying?"

"Ha I'm fine I just need more of my special friend right here Mr. Sake *hiccup* let's see…."

She drank her glass quickly while giving a happy sigh" oh yeah baby that hits the spot" however more tears were falling from her eyes.

"Sakura-san you're still crying don't cry please or I will cry too" she poured more sake on her glass before she burped.

"Hinata that was very unwomanly you should burp loudly next time" Sakura laughed the tears were still in her eyes.

"You're right next time I will burp like no man has ever done before *hiccup* sorry about that…"

"You know I'm very happy the sake did the work" Sakura replied as gave a sad smile" I'm truly happy because I am finally serving my punishment the right way how it should be from the beginning."

"Huh…what punishment Sakura-san?" the drunk Hinata gazed at her curious.

"This suffering I've been feeling for a long time I truly deserve it because the truth is Hinata….I am evil I am the most despicable person and evil woman in all of Konoha so I deserve this punishment and I have gladly taken it that's why I drink for my punishment….Haruno Sakura deserves pain let me suffer more for the rest of my life cheers!"

"Sakura-san don't say that how could you, you're not an evil person *hiccup* you're kind and nice you're always worrying about how thing should run in the hospital and taking care of the patients…."

Sakura drank her glass while laughing in amusement" hahaha me a good and kind person that's a good one Hinata *hiccup* I'm not really good I'm truly an evil bitch this is all just a façade and this tears it's the result of my punishment which I truly deserve and I have accepted a long time ago. What I did was so horrible and cold I am evil."

By now Hinata had tears in her eyes not believing she was hearing something so wrong from her friend. She felt her heart breaking hearing those words she just couldn't take it anymore the pink haired medic didn't deserve to say those words.

"Sakura-san stop saying crazy things stop referring yourself like you were the most evil being in this world…."

"You don't get it do you?" she asked drinking another glass" I am the most evil being in this world *hiccup* I deserve this punishment for everything I did to him!"

"Him?" asked the Hyuga heiress although she had a pretty good idea who she was talking about.

"Naruto-kun…." she let more tears fall as she grabbed the remaining bottle of sake and started playing with it waving it back and forth" this is my punishment for all the pain I caused him and all of the heartbreak I deserve to suffer forever. It's because of him that I'm suffering it's because of him I want him to be happy while I die of pain, it's because of HIM! *hiccup* that I let him go so he can gain all the happiness in the world from you Hinata this is my fate my punishment. So I will drink to that to Naruto-kun so he can forever be happy and so I continue to suffer for my evil ways and for everything single thing I did wrong on him, there justice has been serve *hiccup*"

Hinata couldn't take it anymore she got up from the table and gave the crying pink haired medic in a tight hug while shedding her own tears. She gave her a conform hug making sure it take effect and healed the pain she was feeling seeing how much she has been suffering. Sakura accepted the embrace as she was now sobbing hard causing a scene in the bar. The people were looking at them along with the waitresses and the bartender mumble something about bad soap opera. The Hyuga heiress hold her trying to calm her while letting her tears fall and she was feeling worst than her sobbing friend.

"It's all right Sakura-san *hiccup* stop punishing yourself you don't deserve all this pain. No not you, you're not evil you're a very good kindhearted person who always worry about other stop treating yourself so badly you don't deserve all this pain. It's…..me I'm the one who deserves this pain it's my fault I'm so sorry I'm really sorry….." she started sobbing.

Sakura clam herself as she broke the hug looking at her" what are you talking about Hinata I'm the one who has to suffer not you. You don't deserve pain or heartbreak nothing!"

"Sakura-san I was there…..I saw everything *hiccup*…..I was watching when Naruto-kun was about to confess to you…..three years ago I saw the whole thing I knew of your feelings for him….*hiccup*"

Sakura's eyes widened remembering the horrible day when she let him go for good and let him chose Hinata in order for him to be happy with the Hyuga heiress. It was the same day she made her oath to always look up for him and make sure he was happy no matter what.

"I'm sorry Sakura-san…" Hinata said sobbing.

Hinata was watching the whole conversation between Naruto and Sakura from behind a tree. She was curious to know what they were talking about until Naruto brought the whole topic about her feelings for the pink haired kunoichi which made her nervous and her heart beating fast. She knew the possibilities of getting rejected or turn down were very high since she has never stood a chance to have the blond ninja because of his feelings for Sakura. She continued to watch and listen to the two ninjas who were seated on a bench on the village outskirts.

"Naruto can I ask you something?" asked Sakura.

"Sure Sakura-chan!" replied the blond cheery.

"About Hinata?"

Hinata blinked hearing her name mentioned in the conversation she didn't know why Sakura has brought her up it was strange.

"What about her?" Naruto said.

"You know the truth about her….that she loves you?" asked the pink haired chunin trying to hold her tears.

"Yes I do…" he replied after thinking it for a while.

"Do you feel the same way too?" Sakura's tone was hesitant.

Hinata was shocked hearing the question she blushed hard feeling embarrassed. She couldn't believe this was happening she was about to hear the answer from her crush since the academy it made her so nervous. Her upper lip started trembling as she try everything in her strength so she didn't fainted, she decided to listen to his answer waiting patiently.

"Sakura-chan I….I don't know I really don't know what to say about Hinata, I mean I was shocked when she said all those things to me I never expected her to like me like that but I guess it makes sense when she fain when I was near her and her face turning red and I actually thought she was weird or something I'm so stupid."

Hinata sighed hearing that while she was still blushing of course she knew Naruto was dense and he had no clue that she likes him more than a friend. She continued listening wanting to hear the blonds' response.

"Do you like her Naruto?" Sakura asked again.

"Sakura-chan I…I don't feel that way about Hinata I'm very grateful and flatter that she feels that way about me but I only care for her as my friend nothing else, I know it's going to kill me to say that to her but I don't want to hurt her feelings even if I haven't seen her in months."

Hinata smiled hearing that even if her heart was broken hearing the truth how Naruto feels about her. Of course she knew he didn't felt that way about her because he has always love Sakura no one or nothing could ever change that. She finally accepted the truth that she will always be Naruto's friend and nothing else yet she was happy for his decision because she only wanted to see him happy with the girl he loves. She has heard enough and she was ready to leave she shouldn't even be here eavesdropping on a private conversation but before she left she heard Sakura who didn't sounded happy at all.

"You don't like Hinata Naruto why?!"

"No Sakura-chan I don't like Hinata like that but I…." he was about to say the three words Hinata knew about it.

Sakura turned her back to him cutting him of" you fool Hinata almost die protecting you and you don't feel that way about her?!"

"But Sakura-chan I…."

"I love Sasuke-kun I will always love him I will always like you as a friend Naruto nothing more just give up because you and me it will never happen get it to your head already!"

'What is she doing Sakura-san?' thought Hinata gazing at her.

Then it hit her she knew what she was doing. She saw her face full of tears on her back so that Naruto didn't saw her. She couldn't believe what she was doing Sakura was stepping aside she was letting Naruto go so he finds someone else she was the one. Hinata felt tears falling from her pale eyes seeing that the pink haired kunoichi was sacrificing her happiness for her own. She felt a big admiration for Sakura to be able to make such sacrifice. She heard enough knowing that it was killing Sakura on the inside because unlike Naruto she figured out her feelings for the blond. She left feeling sorry for the pink haired medic as she let her tears for the pain of her sacrifice.

"I knew Sakura-san….I knew how much you love Naruto-kun *hiccup* I'm so sorry please forgive me. I chose to have Naruto-kun but I knew all along of the pain you have been feeling I'm sorry I'm the evil person here not you…"

Sakura pulled the Hyuga heiress into a hug it was her turn to conform her and make her feel better. She hold her tight still crying she was feeling sorry for her why would she think such a thing when it wasn't true.

"It's all right Hinata….I'm not angry with you or anything I did what I must on that day because I don't deserve Naruto and I wanted him to be happy with you *hiccup*"

"That's not true….you deserved Naruto-kun more than me I caused you pain for being together with him…."

"No I don't….someone evil like me who has given him nothing but pain doesn't deserve his love. It's better to be with the kind girl who has always loved him even when he was a dead last than the selfish girl who used to hit him and mistreat him."

"But it's not fair for you….you still love him you should stop suffering already."

"I chose to let him go on my own accord he deserves happiness but not from me I will never give him happiness only pain *hiccup*"

Hinata hugged her again" you *hiccup* are a true friend I'm so happy to have someone like you Sakura-san I'm sorry I caused you pain."

"I said It's all right it's not your fault you haven't caused me anymore pain. How about we continue enjoying of our friend Mr. Sake?"

She nodded they got seated and Sakura poured sake on her glass as well as her glass and they both drink smiling at the taste of the sake. Sakura noticed that Hinata was still crying and she sighed in annoyance.

"Hinata I said it's not your fault now cut it out and let's enjoy the sake *hiccup*"

"It's not that…..it's I…..Sakura-san *hiccup* I think I'm falling in love with Sasuke-kun…"

The pink haired woman was shocked that she almost dropped the last bottle of sake it came out of nowhere she thought she heard wrong maybe she was too drunk to hear right but she started laughing" hahaha….that's a great joke Hinata good one hehe yeah uhu…you like Sasuke-kun looks like the sake has given you a great sense of humor."

"I'm not kidding I'm telling the truth I….I have feelings for Sasuke-kun *hiccup*"

"Seriously?" asked the shocked Sakura.

"Yes…"

The pink haired medic stood quiet before she started laughing" oh Hinata hahaha….I don't believe this you of all people you like Sasuke-kun…..hahaha….this is so ironic and so amusing *hiccup*. I'm in love with your boyfriend and you're in love with my boyfriend it's really funny when you think about it."

They stood quiet before they started laughing loudly and everyone in the bar sweat dropped at their behavior. First they were crying like there's no tomorrow and now they are laughing like there's no tomorrow. They drank more sake when they realized that the bottle was empty they have finally finished drinking all of the four bottles which they didn't took it lightly.

Sakura growled" waitress more sake!"

The same waitress that attended them a while ago heard her demand but felt unsure whether to bring her another bottle of sake. She saw the bartender who gave her a disapproval look both kunoichis were too drunk to continue drinking more. She went to their table to see that they were laughing loud while having tears in their obviously from laughing too much.

"Excuse me?" the waitress said.

Sakura gazed at her with a frown seeing her hands empty" hey what gives….I said another bottle of sake?!"

"I'm sorry but we can't give you anymore. You two are too intoxicated to have another glass I apologize."

The pink haired medic glared at her not happy with her comment" hey do you know *hiccup* who I am do you?!" she grabbed her by her collar" I am the student of the fifth Hokage Tsuande-sama and she is the heiress of the Hyuga clan we demand another bottle of sake now!"

Then the manager stepped in an older man wearing a kimono who was obviously watching the whole thing" I apologize but we can't offer you anymore sake you two are too drunk for another glass."

"So you're going to refuse a request from the successor of the fifth Tsunade-sama and the future head of the Hyuga clan!" Sakura wasn't happy in the least.

"Yes I am now I suggest you two leave my bar. I don't want my customers to get annoyed with your bad soap opera drama."

"Did you hear that Hinata *hiccup* they are kicking us out because were too drunk what kind of service do you give your customers anyway were paying for the sake?!"

"That's right I have plenty of money for more sake I'm paying too *hiccup*" Hinata took off her wallet opening revealing enough ryou to pay for enough bottles.

"It's not that I don't want your money it's just that I don't want to get in trouble if you two die of alcohol poisoning especially how important you two are to the village as you just told me. So please I am kindly asking you to leave my bar, if you leave I will give you a bottle of sake on the house what do you say?"

"Fine we know when were not wanted Hinata pay the man and let's take his gift *hiccup*"

The Hyuga heires nodded as she took the ryou from her wallet and gave it to the manager of the bar who raised an eyebrow at her" you have given me more than enough to pay for the four bottles of sake."

"Keep it I come from a wealthy clan" Hinata replied before giving him a wink and waved her hand like an eager child leaving the bar with Sakura happily holding the free sake bottle.

'What a weird duo' the manager thought before he went back to running his business.

After they left the bar the two kunoichis started drinking the sake bottle of course they were both sharing it since they were very good friends although it was true. They walked the streets laughing together while sharing the free bottle of sake, some of the people were staring at them but they didn't notice and they continue enjoying the evening. However familiar figures spotted them from not too far on a corner of a street. Yamato and Anko who were having one of their dates and they were wearing civilian clothing saw the two kunoichis moving back and forth and sharing laughs like there was no tomorrow. It didn't take a genius to figure out that both kunoichis were completely drunk making them wondered why they will get drunk in the first place.

"That's Sakura and Hinata I never thought they will get drunk" Yamato said.

"So what they can drink sake they're not kids anymore. Come on Yama-kun there's this place I want to visit" replied Anko.

The wood user didn't have a chance to say a word because the snake mistress took his hand leading him from the crowd heading to deeper into the village.

(Time skip)

It was late in the village and Sakura and Hinata were still walking the streets but they have reached a part of the village where there was no one around. It seems both kunoichis have gained a strong friendship while getting drunk and even if they will forget tonight's event they have forged a strong bond thanks to the sake. Sakura drank more from the bottle before offering it to Hinata who drank the content quickly giving it back to her friend. As they walked the dark street they meet up with two young men who were smirking at the two kunoichis. Their eyes fell on their body like they were undressing them with their eyes no doubt they were a bunch of perverts. They have grinned in pure satisfaction noticing that both of them were drunk so they were easy pickings and they won't fight back at all when they get busy with them. They got between the two kunoichis waiting in anticipation to show them a good time they were thinking in giving them a good pounding.

"What do we have here?" one of them said gazing at the kunoichis.

"I'll say you fine ladies should know better than walking the streets alone this late at night."

"And you two should know not to walk this late in the streets you will scare the people with your ugly faces" Sakura said as she laughed with Hinata.

The two perverts frowned at her joke before they let it slide knowing they were under the effect of alcohol.

"Funny you got quite the humor I like that and your hair looks nice."

"Yeah I never thought I will see a woman with pink hair. I wonder what other places you have pink hair" he grinned thinking of ripping her clothes off and get busy with the pink haired medic.

"Pervert!" growled the drunken Sakura.

The two perverts were now staring at the drunken Hinata namely her breasts. They were probably drooling at her assets and dying of fondle them while licking them. They were about to touched her breasts before their hands were grabbed by a pissed off Sakura.

"Don't even lay a hand on her get lost perverts!"

"Whoa looks like we have ourselves a fighter I'm going to enjoy banging you."

"In your dreams!" she growled.

"Come on sweet heart don't fight it especially when you're drunk you guys are begging for cock."

"You're disgusting" Hinata said glaring at him.

"We'll see about that very soon you two will be moaning begging for more."

"I'm warning you leave or else?!" Sakura said.

"Or else what?" one of the perverts grinned.

Suddenly Sakura threw up all over his shirt shocking both of them while Hinata was in awe at the gross sight.

"What the hell?!"

"You fucking bitch I'll kill you!" he shouted seeing his shirt covered with puke.

"Wow vomit jutsu!" Hinata said before laughing.

"Oops I meant to do that sorry hehe" Sakura said while wiping the puke from her mouth.

"That's it you're dead after that I will rape you!" he charged at her.

Sakura quickly kicked his testicles hard making him screamed in agony as he fell on his knees. The other pervert gulp as he covered his sacred place imagining the horrible pain his friend was feeling. He glared at the pink haired woman who was ready to fight and she was grinning at the hurt pervert touching his aching testicles.

"Ha how do you expect to rape us now with your damaged toy?"

"You're dead pinky!" the second pervert drew a small knife.

He charged at her but Sakura blocked his attacked and punched him sending him far away using her super strength. The other pervert who was still suffering from getting hit hard in his nuts got up slowly when he saw Sakura ready to punch his lights out. He quickly left running for his life still feeling the pain while Sakura drank from the sake bottle and Hinata was in awe at the whole thing.

"Yeah you better run you pervert!" she shouted with a grin taking another sip from the bottle" just because I'm drunk *hiccup* I'm not going to open my legs to the first pervert that drops by. If there's one person I would fuck it will be Naruto….do you hear me?! *hiccup* Uzumaki Naruto that's the man I will gladly open my legs!"

"You tell them Sakura-san you're my hero" Hinata said before she went to her and took a sip from the sake bottle.

"Tonight has been a great day our problems have been solved and I get to spend some time with a great friend" Sakura put her arms around the Hyuga heiress's shoulder.

"You're a great friend too Sakura-san I'm glad I meet you. I know how much you love Naruto-kun and my gift from me to you. You can have Naruto-kun he's all yours."

The pink haired medic laughed as she hugged Hinata" thank you my friend I have a gift for you too, since you love Sasuke-kun you can have him he's all your."

"Mmm thank you Sakura-san I will take good care of him….everything ended well *hiccup*"

"Yup in the end were both happy this calls for a celebration let's drink what little sake is left from the bottle."

"I will drink to that" Hinata replied smiling as they started walking again.

"So Hinata……about Naruto-kun….how big is he?" Sakura gave a perverted grin.

"Huh…." the Hyuga heiress blushed hearing that" what Sakura-san?"

The pink haired woman was still grinning giving her a friendly elbow on her sides" you know how big….his penis is?"

Hinata giggle lovingly her whole face blushing not showing any shame for being asked such a personal and intimate question. She used her hands to show her the exact size of the blonds' manhood making Sakura very shocked at what she was seeing. The pink haired medic's mouth was wide open in complete shock as a medic nin she knew very well about the human body. She knew every single body part, bone and internal organs and of course she knew about the male reproductive system. The penis as she has seen in medical books that she read for her knowledge in the field were in regular size and she admitted she wasn't impress at all. But what Hinata was showing her in her personal professional opinion was inhumanly impossible.

"No way……that can't be hehe…oh I get it Hinata you kidder *hiccup* you're just messing with me. There's no way Naruto-kun's penis will be that big hehe…."

"I'm not kidding I have seen it and I know what I'm talking about *hiccup* it's really big twelve inches is big right?"

"Of course twelve inches is big I have seen samples of penises but they weren't that big but this….damn Naruto-kun is so big…." she touched her womanhood" I don't think it will fit in me."

Hinata was laughing as she took the bottle of sake before giggling" what about Sasuke-kun how big is he?" she blushed while she had some drool on the far corner of her lower lip.

"I don't know I haven't seen his penis we haven't had sex I know it sucks *hiccup*"

"I know if Naruto-kun's penis because we have had oral sex many times but nothing more intimate than that…."

"I guess it explains why we're still virgins while everyone has already taken the big plunge into sex land it sucks" replied Sakura.

"I know…."

"We need sex" they finished in unison.

"Mmm yeah nasty kinky hot sex" Sakura said with a grin.

"Don't forget hardcore sex I wonder how good it must feel the feeling of penetration, I do know the first time will hurt but hehe…..I can just imagine *hiccup*"

"You're thinking of doing it with Sasuke-kun don't you?" smirked Sakura.

Hinata giggled like a school girl while blushing before smirking" and you're thinking of doing it with Naruto-kun…"

Both were staring at each other before they started laughing loudly although someone has appeared and he wasn't happy although he was happy to see the person he was looking for" Hinata-sama!"

The two drunk kunoichis turned to see Neji who was looking worried" there you are I've been looking everywhere for you Hiashi-sama has been questioning your whereabouts for a while its late time to go back home."

"Great Neji the party bopper" frown Sakura who wanted to continue having fun with the Hyuga heiress.

"Oh Nejini-san I 'm so happy to see you come and join me and Sakura-san we were drinking the problem solving juice called sake!" replied the happy Hinata.

The Hyuga prodigy gasped seeing the bottle and his cousin's behavior" Hinata-sama don't tell me that you're drunk?"

"Guilty!" Hinata said cheery while Sakura laughed.

Neji sighed" I apologize Sakura but I'm taking Hinata back."

"You're such a meanie no wonder you're so serious all the time you don't live the good life and have fun" the pink haired woman replied while childishly sticking her tongue.

"How much sake did you two drank?" asked Neji.

"Four" Hinata said before she went to a corner and throw up while Neji shook his head feeling like he was going to get scold.

'I won't hear the end of this from Hiashi-sama.'

After Hinata threw up she finally passed out before she hit the ground Neji caught her just in time looking back at the pink haired medic" Sakura I suggest you head back to your place it's late."

"Hey you're not my mother you can't tell me what to do!" Sakura wasn't happy with his comment.

"That's all right Neji I will take Sakura back to her place" Sasuke's voice as he appeared next to his girlfriend.

The Hyuga prodigy although he still didn't like him or trusted him for the matter only nodded before he grabbed Hinata bridal style ready to leave. The Uchiha was gazing at the unconscious Hyuga heiress before Neji vanished leaving with his cousin, he sighed gazing at his girlfriend who was smiling.

"Oh Sasuke-kun you're here I'm glad *hiccup* now you can carry me to my apartment because I don't feel like walking there" those were her last words before she passed out.

Sasuke sweat dropped' even when she's drunk she's still bossy.'

(Time skip: the next day)

(Sakura's apartment)

Sakura woke up with having the worst headache she has ever feel in her entire life. Her head felt like it was ready to explode she slowly got up from her bed feeling everything spinning around and she eventually felt the horrible pain coming from her head. Sasuke entered her room he was already in her apartment since she has given him a set of spare keys to her place he was holding a couple of aspirins and a glass of water.

"Morning"

"Oww easy not so loud Sasuke-kun ow…..my head…."

"I wasn't being loud, so how's the hangover?" he smirked.

"Terrible I rather experiencing the most painful and slowest death ever…."

"That bad eh?" Sasuke smirked before handing her the aspirins and the glass of water" here you really need this."

"Thanks…." she replied taking the pills and swallowing it with the water.

The Uchiha sighed" look Sakura I know this is the wrong time since you're probably dying from the hangover because you got drunk last night I know because Yamato and Anko told me but….we need to talk."

"Sure let's talk….just don't talk loud."

"It's about us…." he replied softly keeping his voice down.

"What?" asked the pink haired medic" what do you mean?"

"You already know what I mean. Sakura you know that what we have is fake and it doesn't exist I like you but only as my friend and teammate nothing on the romantic side. What I'm saying is that we can't continue with this façade our friendship is real but not this relationship, we have to come clean about this for good."

"You're breaking up with me?" her voice was soft.

"No I'm not because we never had a real relationship come on we never hold hands or kiss, we even haven't had a hug can you really call that a romantic relationship?"

"I guess not…."

The Uchiha got seated on her bed next to her" don't get down about it I'm still your friend whenever you need me this doesn't change anything between us."

"I know I don't want it any other way thank you for being my friend Sasuke-kun" she smiled.

"No thank you for being my friend I owe you guys a lot."

Sakura nodded before she leaned her head on his side" oww my head really hurts its killing me."

Sasuke chuckle" well that's what you get when you get drunk I hope this will teach you to never drink sake again."

"Oh yeah I learned my lesson all right I'm never drinking sake ever. I don't remember a thing from last night but only that me and Hinata went to a bar and started drinking she must be drunk too. She must be feeling the same way too."

"I guess I hope her hangover isn't worst than yours."

"That's impossible my hangover is the worst of the worst. I can't believe I thought drinking sake and getting me drunk will solved my problem I was such a fool oww…."

"Problem?" asked the Uchiha he knew what she was talking about" you mean Naruto?"

"Yeah…..but I have to realize and face the fact that it's not a problem at all. I am happy that Naruto-kun is happy how dumb can I be?"

"Sakura….." Sasuke paused thinking about the conversation he had with the blond at the training field.

'Should I tell her the truth about Naruto?' he thought hard' she's too dedicated for Naruto she even believes highly that he loves Hinata. I don't think she will believe me she might get angry with me for saying something like that. I don't want to bother her with the topic with her hangover.'

He smiled as he put his arm around her and Sakura smiled leaning her head on his side while thinking about the one she loves deeply and will do anything for him. They continued to stay like that for a while but neither of them noticed that they were being watched. From the window of Sakura's room a Naruto shadow clone was watching the whole gesture except for the conversation they had. The original was sleeping since it was early in the morning so he sent a shadow clone to check on the pink haired woman. He stood quiet seeing how happy Sakura was resting her head on the Uchiha's shoulder while he had his arm wrapped around her in a protective matter like a boyfriend should. Although he smiled at the wonderful couple on the inside his heart has break yet again and just like that time at the hospital when Tsunade had healed Sasuke all those years ago he gave a fake conforming smile. There was no need for him to stay any longer he quietly left happy to see that the woman he has love more than anything was happy with his best friend.

But the truth was very clear it was happiness he felt for Sakura, but it was another painful blow to his heart.

To be continued

It's finally finish I'm so happy. Poor Naruto I really feel bad for him for thinking the wrong thing that's what happens when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. Looks like things have gotten complicated Sasuke knows the truth about Naruto still loving Sakura and his fake relationship with Sakura is finally over. What will happen next? But anyway how was the drunken Saku/Hina friendship development I laughed a little writing the scenes when they were drunk. On another topic I'm not happy with the end of the year chapter of Naruto don't get me wrong I love 476 Sasuke being so cold and dark as always. But I knew it will be too good to be true for Danzo to die. The one thing that got me so annoyed is the fact that Naruto fainted like a weak sissy girl I understand if it was Hinata doing the fainting BUT Naruto damn he needs to grow up. But anyway please review and I will see you all next time farewell and oh I can't forget about something very important this month HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM ME!!! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Next chapter: Break up
