"Sakura I love you. From the very first day we met I love you. Every time I look into your eyes it drives me crazy!" Naruto told Sakura in a sincere tone.

"N-Naruto……" Sakura told him.

Both of them stand there for about two minutes in complete silence until Naruto bursts out into a screaming frenzy.

"Sakura I love you! Why won't you say anything! Don't I even deserve to know how you feel? Naruto exclaims.

"I know you do Naruto and I care about you too, but, my heart belongs to Sasuke. I always knew that you cared for me and I'm sorry that I led you on but I can not just forget about Sasuke! Sakura tells him.

Naruto drops his head down until his face is in the shadow of the moon.

"I know Sakura and don't feel bad I just thought that you should know." Naruto tells her.

Sakura looks at him with tears in her eyes and lunges forward to Naruto holding him closely with her head in his chest crying her eyes out.

"I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry Naruto! I wish I could feel the same way for you but I'm still in love with Sasuke! I truly am Sorry!" Sakura yells out.

Naruto just stands there holding Sakura with his face still in shadow until he puts his hand on Sakura's head holding her close to him.

"It's ok Sakura. Shhhh shhhh. It's ok, It's ok. Just relax Sakura we'll find him." Naruto tells her in a calming way.

Naruto and Sakura stand there in the moonlight very close to each other until Sakura backs away and looks at Naruto and gives him a smile. As Naruto looks up in the direction of the moon he notices that it is moon no more. They stayed up all night and the sun has risen.

"OH NO! IT'S MORNING! I GOTTA GO LATER SAKURA!" Naruto yells out to her as he dashes off just for his path to be cut of by none other than the Hokage herself.

"G-G-Granny Tsunade what are you doing here (I don't want to spoil it for you but if you want to know the whole story about the new Hokage ask me personally)?" Naruto asks Tsunade.

Tsunade looks at him and smiles as she takes a swing at him. Naruto moves out of the way and lands back on the rooftop that Sakura is standing on.

"Naruto, Sakura you two guys have a mission." Tsunade told them.

"You're giving me a mission, now? I just came back from a mission last night!" Naruto yells at Tsunade.

"Yeah Ms. Tsunade I just got back from a mission last night as well." Sakura tells her in protest to what Tsunade told her.

"Okay then you two. Then I guess I can give this mission that involves Orochimaru to someone else." Tsunade told them with a smirk on her face.

"Wait, wait, wait!" They both yelled out to her.

"Yeah it's a mission in the wave country. Orochimaru and Sasuke were spotted there guarding a ship carrying scrolls of forbidden ninjutsu." Tsunade told them.

"I'll take the mission, but, only under the condition that Sakura stay here." Naruto told the Hokage.

"What!" Sakura shouted at Naruto.

"It's far too dangerous if Orochimaru's involved. I don't want you to get hurt." Naruto told Sakura in the most sincere way possible.

"EXCUSE ME! WHO'S THE ONE WHO ALWAYS HAS TO HEAL YOU EVERYTIME YOU'RE INJURED HUH?" Sakura told him yelling at him as if she's about to injure him herself.

Tsunade stands there listening to the argument that's about to go nuclear until she finally steps in.

"If you two don't mind I'll say something…… This mission requires the both of you." Tsunade tells them with a serious tone in her voice.

Naruto and Sakura stand there with confused looks on their faces.

"The both of us, we're both Jounin? Why is it that this mission requires both of us?" Sakura asks Tsunade.

Tsunade stands there with a serious look on her face. She continues to stand this way until she finally comes out and says…..

"…….They've captured Jaraiya." Tsunade told them as tears start to roll down her face.

"WHAT!" They both yell out to her.
