Authors notes: hey this is my first multi chapter fic. I had to change things from the original plot of the childhood flashbacks from the manga and anime for this story to work. This is a NaruSaku, but who says love can't bloom at a young age? There will also be more couples hinted within this fic.
Timeframe: Seven years before the manga, basically all the rookie genins are 5 (except rock lee, neji, and tenten) wait… weren't the flashbacks about when they were five? If not tell me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but if I did I would make the official couple NaruSaku.
Young Love
One evening we see our soon to be hero walking aimlessly around the park with his butterfly cage looking for a butterfly to catch, he was about go home until he heard someone crying. When he came closer he saw that it was a girl with pink hair and emerald eyes.
"Hey," he whispered, "hey you ok? You look like you're crying."
"Go away… I'm fine!" she cried.
"No you aren't, were you bullied?"
"… No I'm fine, just leave me alone!"
"Oh c'mon, at least tell me your name, mine's Naruto"
"If you wanna know so bad its Sakura, and if you excuse me I gotta meet up with my mommy for supper"
"Ok, well cya later Sakura-chan!"
'Idiot, what makes him think he knows what going on? I could of held it together back there, I don't need his help.' Sakura wondered as she caught up with her mother. They were talking until her mother saw her with a bruise on her face.
"Sakura, were you bullied again? I swear you have to defend yourself one of these days."
" I'm alright mommy, it doesn't hurt."
" You sure? It seems pretty bad; do you want to go home?
" I'm sure. Oh and mom, have you heard of a kid named Naruto?"
" Naruto? I don't believe so, but his name sounds really familiar…" her mother trailed off trying to remember who Naruto was, but before she could think anymore they arrived at Ichiraku.
While ordering Sakura couldn't help wonder whom Naruto was. ' I wonder what he is doing right now. I've only seen him a few times, but I wonder where he lives.' As a sign from the heavens she turned around and saw him walking slowly as if he didn't know where to go. 'Hah, he doesn't even know where he lives, shouldn't his parents be with him?'
~The next day~
As the incarnation of the Demon Fox walks around the park looking for a butterfly he sees Sakura once again.
"Hey! Sakura-chan!"
"Huh? What do you want?" she asks turning to face him. "What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be spending time with your family?"
"… I don't have any family… umm… Well I gotta go now… see ya later Sakura-chan…" he said while the last part of his sentence was barely audible. He had to run, anywhere was fine, anywhere away from everything.
"Hey wait! I'm sorry I didn't know you had no parents! Ugh… It's no use; he's too far away. Naruto, I'm really sorry…"
After running for what seemed forever, Naruto found himself on top of the Hokage monument. * Sniff * "Why don't I have any family? I don't have anyone… no friends, no family. Sakura's right why am I here?"
"You're here because you parents loved you," said an old voice.
~End Chapter 1~
Bass Clef: hey it's me well this is my 2nd fic. And I'm pretty sure you know who the old voice is. It was a pretty hard decision to leave it here, but writing this story is pretty fun and I'm positive it will get better. Don't Naruto and Sakura sound a little too grown up in their speech? (I think I've got a problem here…) Well after sleeping 20 hours a day it leaves me plenty of inspiration. After getting more ideas while sleeping this fic will be at least five chapters. Some more characters will be introduced in chapter two.
* Preview of Chap. 2 *
Naruto receives a journal left by his parents (along with a letter). When he and Sakura meet up again she apologizes.
Oh and one more question, should Naruto's father be the 4th Hokage? (For plot reasons)
Please Read and Review!!!
