Sara
AN
This is a new series of one-shots depicting Naruto winding up with different women, I just want to make one thing clear Hinata will not be one of these women, as she and Naruto are Canon and I want this to be about some of the other women Naruto could've wound up with, not all of them are Canon however but I like them for one reason or another. So first up is Sara, now this isn't the Sara from the film but her daughter who is also called Sara.
Team Seven are leaving the ruins of Roran when they see a caravan of travellers, one of the travellers a beautiful girl around their age with light red hair is approaching them.
"Who are you?" Naruto asks unable to keep his eyes from the beauty before him.
"My name is Sara, I felt a disturbance in the Ryumyaku so I came to investigate." Sara says.
Team Seven then notice Sara is holding a Chakra Blade which looks like the one Naruto had. Naruto checks where his was and finds it missing.
"Where did you get that?" Yamato asks.
"My mother gave it to me, she had a dream that a hero appeared before her and gave it to her, when she awoke she found the blade in her hands. During the war my mother was able to save our people with it, when she passed away she gave me this blade so that I could continue to protect our people." Sara says.
Team Seven are stunned by the story they just heard, Sara then begins to walk away back to her caravan.
"Weird I think I've seen her before." Naruto says.
Sakura turns a glare on her blonde teammate and prepares to lay into him, but then Naruto begins moving toward Sara as though in a trance. Naruto can't explain it to himself, but he wants to get to know this girl. He's never even seen her before today and yet she has invaded his mind.
"Excuse me but I was wondering, if we could be pen pals?" Naruto asks.
"Goddammit that was lame." Naruto thinks.
Sara turns around and raises her eyebrow at Naruto as if asking why.
"Well I don't really know much about the world, and I figured since your travellers you could write to me and tell me what it's like." Naruto says.
Sara smiles a reassuring smile.
"Sure thing let me get a map and a time table of where and when we should get to places." Sara says.
"Okay." Naruto says.
Sara enters her caravan and comes out moments later, handing Naruto a map of her caravans travel routes and when they should arrive at each location.
"Thank you." Naruto says.
"No problem I look forward to hearing from you." Sara says.
The caravans then begin moving and Sara and Naruto wave goodbye to each other, while this was going on Sakura looked on shell shocked by what she witnessed.
(Scene Break)
For many months Sara and Naruto kept in contact with each other, Naruto would ask about the places she's been to, Sara would tell him and ask him what he's been up to. When The Fourth Great Ninja War had been declared over, Sara decided to go and see Naruto who had fought in the war. Upon entering his hospital room, which is also occupied by Sasuke Uchiha, Sara is shocked by the injuries he has received.
"Sara you're here?" Naruto asks.
"Of course I am, I had to make sure my penpal is okay." Sara says.
Sasuke raises an eyebrow at the pairs interaction.
"Oh where are my manners, Sasuke this is Sara, Sara this is Sasuke Uchiha my best friend." Naruto says.
Sara bows her head in greeting and Sasuke does the same.
"So how did you two meet?" Sasuke asks.
Naruto and Sara then tell Sasuke how they met, which confuses and intrigues him.
"So how long are you staying in Konoha?" Naruto asks.
"Maybe a week." Sara says.
"Oh." Naruto says sounding sad.
Sasuke picks this up and becomes amused by what he is seeing, deciding to help his 'brother' out Sasuke comes up with a play.
"Hey Naruto why don't you show Sara around." Sasuke says.
Naruto and Sara look at Sasuke in confusion so he elaborates.
"I'll make a Shadow Clone and have it Transform into you, that way you can show Sara around." Sasuke says.
"That's a great idea Sasuke." Naruto says.
"But aren't you supposed to be recovering?" Sara asks.
"I'm fine Sara I heal pretty quickly, their just keeping me in to be mean." Naruto says.
"Well okay then." Sara says.
Naruto grins he then leaps out of bed, grabs Sara's hand and runs out of the hospital with her, Sasuke then makes a Shadow Clone and has it Transform into Naruto the clone then gets into Naruto's bed.
(Scene Break)
The first place Naruto takes Sara to is Ichiraku Ramen.
"This place has the best food in the whole Elemental Nations." Naruto says.
"A ramen stand?" Sara questions.
"Not just any ramen, Ichiraku Ramen." Naruto says.
"What's the difference?" Sara asks.
"You'll see." Naruto says.
The two enter the stand and are greeted by Teuchi and Ayame.
"Welcome." Ayame says.
"Hello Naruto shouldn't you be in the hospital?" Teuchi asks.
"I'm fine there was no need for me to stay." Naruto says.
Teuchi and Ayame shake their heads in amusement, before noticing Naruto's friend.
"So Naruto who's your friend?" Ayame asks.
"This is Sara, I met her a few months ago and we've been penpals ever since, she came to visit me to see if I was okay." Naruto says.
Both Teuchi and Ayame are surprised by this, before getting over their shock.
"So what will you two be having?" Teuchi asks.
Naruto orders the usual while Sara has a miso ramen. Upon tasting the miso ramen, Sara's mouth explodes with flavours never in her life has she tasted anything so good in her life, she begins devouring the ramen with the same enthusiasm as Naruto. Soon Naruto has eaten nineteen bowls of ramen and Sara has eaten five, both are completely stuffed. After paying for their meal Naruto then takes Sara to other places around Konoha, including the Yamanaka Flower Shop, the Academy, the Hokage Tower and the Hokage Mountain.
(Scene Break)
The sun is setting over the village of Konoha and Naruto has taken Sara to his favourite spot in the village, the top of his father's head on the Hokage Mountain.
"Wow the view from here is so beautiful." Sara says.
"Yeah it is, this place is my favourite place in the village, whenever I needed time to think I would come up here to reflect." Naruto says.
"Why here?" Sara asks.
"When I was growing up I heard how great the Fourth Hokage was, so I made him my idol and swore to surpass him. So whenever things got tough in my life I would come up here and think what would the fourth do in my position. Recently I found out he's my father." Naruto says.
Sara becomes floored by this, not expecting Naruto to be the son of Minato Namikaze. Then again looking closely at Naruto and seeing the resemblance between him and the Yellow Flash, it makes her wonder how it isn't a bigger known fact.
Suddenly Naruto pales as an ominous presence makes itself known, turning around Naruto comes face to face with a very angry Tsunade and Sakura.
"Hey there Granny Tsunade and Sakura." Naruto says nervously.
"Hello Naruto. Why aren't you in the hospital?" Tsunade asks.
"Well my penpal Sara came to visit and she's only here for a week, and she really wanted to see Konoha so I thought I'd take a day out of my recovery to show her around." Naruto says.
Tsunade and Sakura look at Sara, Tsunade had heard about Sara from Sakura and Yamato but is surprised she is here, Sakura mean while is also shocked that Sara came to Konoha.
"Why is she here?" Sakura asks.
"I heard Naruto had got injured fighting in the war, so I came to see him." Sara says.
Tsunade decides to get things back on track.
"Look Naruto it's really sweet you decided to show your friend around Konoha, but your still recovering so you will get your ass back to hospital right now." Tsunade says.
"But granny I feel fine." Naruto says.
"Naruto Lady Tsunade knows what's best, and what's best for you is to rest until your fully healed." Sakura says.
Naruto looks ready to object but Sara cuts him of.
"Naruto they're right, you've already shown me around Konoha so now just rest up in the hospital. I'll visit you everyday as long as I'm in Konoha." Sara says.
Naruto hearing this relents to the shock of Tsunade and Sakura. As Naruto is escorted back to the hospital, Tsunade can't help but wish that Sara would remain in Konoha as this is the most compliant she's ever seen Naruto.
(Scene Break)
Six days have passed since Sara arrived in Konoha, she visited Naruto everyday like she promised. During her visits, her and Naruto got closer to one another and soon Sara was dreading the day when she and her people would leave, likewise Naruto was also dreading her leaving as he has outgrown his crush on Sakura, and has started to get feelings for Sara.
The night before she is scheduled to leave one of her closests friends and top advisor, Hideki Fujioka decides to have a word with Sara. For months he had seen Sara receive letters from Naruto, and had seen her face light up with each one. Then they got to Konoha and he'd never seen her so happy, her face beaming with each visit to Naruto, only to become depressed when she realized they'll be leaving soon.
"Lady Sara for years our people have been wanderers, travelling from place to place but never staying in one place for long. Lately I've noticed a change in you, you've always been free spirited and loved exploring, the fact that we never used to stay in one place was a joy to you. However I've noticed that this time there is no joy but sadness and I think I know why, it's because of that boy Naruto you've become attached to him in a way that you haven't with anyone else you've met on our travels, making you want to stay am I right." Hideki says.
Sara is shocked that Hideki read her so well, but then the man had raised her after her parents death acting as a father, uncle and grandfather all rolled into one.
"Your right Hideki." Sara says.
"So why don't we stay here in Konoha?" Hideki asks.
Sara is shocked by such a suggestion.
"Hideki I can't do that our people are nomads, wanderers we lost our home with Roran, it wouldn't be fair to burden another nation with our refugees." Sara says.
"Lady Sara our people are tired of wandering the nations, I've been meaning to bring it up with you for a while but couldn't find it in myself. However I believe the perfect excuse has arrived for me to broach the subject." Hideki says.
Sara is shocked by what Hideki says, she hasn't noticed her peoples longing for a permanent home as she was to focused on travelling and seeing the world, how selfish of her.
"But Konoha is a Ninja village, you know how hard it is to even enter one let alone be allowed to move into one." Sara says.
"True but even if all of us are unable to stay in Konoha, you should be able to." Hideki says.
Sara is shocked by what Hideki says once again, this time though she is a little angry. Not on her watch would her people be seperated like that.
"Our people aren't being seperated like that, I'll go see the Hokage tomorrow and work out a deal that'll allow us all to stay in Konoha." Sara says.
Hideki is shocked by the determination Sara is showing, before smirking as she is reminding him of her mother.
(Scene Break)
It was surprisingly easy to convince Lady Tsunade to allow her people to remain in Konoha, the paperwork was also surprisingly processed quickly. Unknown to Sara, Tsunade had been anticipating Sara wanting to remain in Konoha with her people, and had been getting the ball rolling in preparation for Sara asking for refuge in Konoha for her and her people.
Sara was so happy that she and her people finally had a permanent home, she was also happy that she could stay with Naruto, that when she saw him and told him the news it was with the biggest grin on her face ever. Naruto was also happy that Sara was staying in Konoha that when he was told the news, he leapt out of bed and hugged Sara tightly making her blush, Naruto also blushed when he realized what he was doing, Sasuke just found the situation hilarious.
For the next couple of years Naruto and Sara grew closer to one another much to the ire of Naruto's fan club, the two eventually became an official couple after two years. Sasuke and Sakura would also get together, Ino got with Sai, Tenten got with Lee, Hinata moved on from Naruto and got with Shino, Kiba found love with Tamaki, Shikamaru and Temari finally stopped living in denial and got together, but the biggest shock was Choji and Karui getting together.
A few years later Naruto and Sara were wed, a few months later she gave birth to a son named Takeshi Uzumaki. Naruto couldn't believe how his life had turned out, as a child he was scorned and hated by the village now he was it's beloved hero, he was also married to a beautiful woman and had a son he was also due to start his Hokage training soon so all in all, his life turned out great.
