Originally, Chapter 4, 5, and soon to be 6 were all one chapter, but after being gone for so long I decided to split them up. So here is Chapter 5! Right after 4! Chapter 6 should be finished by the weekend, at most by Monday, but I hope this sorta makes up for being gone for a month. I'm really upset about that, and I only have myself to blame. But you guys keep me going so thanks you very much! Enjoy!

"Come on you guys!" A certain pink haired gennin yelled back towards her team as they all walked away from the Hokage's mansion, having just received a D-ranked mission in the late afternoon. Sakura, was obviously excited about doing a mission since they hadn't had one in quite some time. However, Naruko and Sasuke were both annoyed with the level of difficulty. It seems that even though they had proved themselves in the chuunin exams, neither one had received the rank, and now they were back to the lame old genin missions. Kakashi followed along leisurely, as he really didn't care what mission his team had.

Sakura sighed as she realized that she was the only one excited for the mission. It was easy cash for the young girl, all they had to do was guard a farmer's lot from pesky animals for the night. Sounded simple. The green eyed girl watched as her team slowly caught up to her, and she also noticed something peculiar.

Sasuke and Naruko were walking next to each other, and neither one of them had acted annoyed or irritated by the other. If she didn't know better, they actually looked very content walking side by side. She shrugged her shoulders, continuing towards the farmer's house, never giving her teammates a second thought.

When the team arrived at the farmer's house, Kakashi politely knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. The dirty wooden door creaked open and revealed a rather old bald man with a blade of grass between his lips.

"Oh the ninja are here! Wonderful!" He said.

"Yes sir, we are team 7, this is Sakura, Naruko, Sasuke, and myself, Kakashi." The gray haired ninja explained.

"Yeah yeah, anyway there's still a bit of sunlight out, I was hoping that you bunch could finish raking the field." The old man said.

"That wasn't really the mission we were tasked with…"Kakashi said.

"Oh nonsense, you kids look like you could use a bit of manual labor! You better hurry, the sun's almost about to go down! The field is right around back! Ain't nothing like a bit of physical work to help the growth of you kids! The sun may go down soon so hurry! Did I mention that the sun is almost about to go down? Ah well hurry along!" The old man said as he shoved multiple rakes into the arms of Kakashi.

"Wai-." Kakashi tried to say, however the door was slammed shut before anyone could argue.

All of team 7 stood there dumbfounded and confused. This was definitely not a part of their mission, but what could they do. If they refused, the old man may not pay them, and that wasn't good.

"I guess we'll go around back." Kakashi said slowly, as if he were still trying to figure out what exactly happened.

Sakura found herself very annoyed as she raked. It didn't help that the field they had to rake was nearly two acres. The team had split up the field into sections so each member did their part, but the work was very tiring. She figured she had finished about half of her section and by now the sun had gone dark, leaving her and the rest of team 7 to finish in the dark.

Sakura paused and looked at her team's progress. Kakashi, having the biggest section was about 75 percent finished with his field, Naruko had done a little over half of her section, and Sasuke was finished with his section. 'Wait? If Sasuke was finished with his section why is he walking over towards Naruko?' Sakura wondered.

She watched as the dark haired teen stood beside the blonde girl and help her. Sakura also saw Naruko's stunned face blushing before staring at the ground, continuing her raking. 'Why doesn't Sasuke help me?' Sakura pondered, before continuing with her own section.

Later into the night, Sasuke and Sakura were chosen to keep watch while Naruko and Kakashi slept. Halfway through the night, they would switch.

Currently, Sasuke had activated his sharingan, scanning the fields for any pests that would destroy or harm the crops being stored in the house. Sakura, on the other hand couldn't forget about how nice Sasuke was acting towards Naruko. The pink haired girl stared at his face while the moonlight shined down on his face. 'Sasuke is really cute, I wonder if he will ever treat me like Naruko?'

Sakura's eyes widened at what she had thought to herself. She had just wished that Sasuke would treat her like Naruko? Didn't that mean that Sasuke would like Naruko?

"Are you keeping watch?" Sasuke's voice pierced through the night, steering Sakura from her thoughts.

She glanced over towards the black haired boy, he wasn't even looking at her, yet he felt that she wasn't focused.

"Hey Sasuke, did you want to go on a date tomorrow?" She asked hopefully, curling up next to the Uchiha.

"No."

"Huh? Why not come on, pleeeeaaasee?" She asked.

"No."

Sakura grit her teeth in anger, how could he be so harsh to her, yet so kind to the blonde idiot on her team!? "Sasuke, why not? Aren't I good enough? I mean you treat Naruko so nicely, and she is such an idiot! Really, why is it that you don't treat me better than her, I'm prettier, smarter, just because her brainless head knows how to punch harder than me, you treat her better. It doesn't make sense!" Sakura exclaimed, shocked at her outburst.

Sasuke whirled his sharingan eyes towards his pink haired teammate. Sakura could see the anger radiating within those menacing red eyes.

"Don't ever say that about her again?! You got that?" He snarled.

Sakura put her hands up, slightly afraid of Sasuke at the moment. "O-okay, I won't. You'd think you'd be in love with her the way you got offended." Sakura said, before her eyes widened as she glanced back to Sasuke.

"Y-you don't love her do you?" She asked, extremely afraid of the answer that she would receive.

Sasuke turned away from his teammate, scanning the field again. "Hn."

It was then that Sakura knew his answer. In reality, she wasn't all that shocked, well, she was shocked that the boy loved Naruko, but she wasn't shocked that he didn't love her. She supposed that deep down, she knew that Sasuke wouldn't ever like her, at least not in a romantic way.

"I guess I was rude…I'm sorry for insulting her." Sakura whispered as she held her knees.

Sasuke turned back towards Sakura, surprised that she didn't have another outburst, or that she wasn't crying. He assumed she would react harshly to finding out her loved a girl that wasn't her.

"Apology accepted." He whispered back.

"If you don't mind me asking…what do you see in her?" Sakura asked.

Sasuke felt himself ponder about that for quite some time. He loved Naruko's bright blue eyes, her personality that opposed his own. He loved when she became all flustered and embarrassed, and he loved how kind she was. He could think of many more reasons why he loved Naruko, which led him to an answer.

"Everything" He responded. While Sakura nodded her head slightly saddened. Of course Sasuke wasn't one to talk much, but she was grateful that he had given her an honest answer.

"I see, well I'm sad that you didn't pick me, but I guess that I kinda knew you wouldn't…I'd still like us to be good friends, maybe that's for the better."

Sasuke's eyes widened as he realized how calm Sakura was being, but he nodded his head, he would like to have another friend as well. Naruko taught him that friends were important. Why not have another.

"Sure, we can still be friends." Sasuke said, before looking back towards the field.

Sakura nodded her head and too looked out towards the field. It almost felt like a huge weight had been taken off of her shoulders….and it felt kinda relaxing.

The sun gleamed down onto a green field, dew on the grass shined brilliantly with light, a beautiful sight to see early in the morning. However, the two people standing in the field, despite having just come back from a mission earlier that morning, did not notice the grass. The two merely observed each other.

Naruko stood across from Sasuke. The two gennin were silently waiting for the other to make a move in the friendly spar. It was after a few moments that Naruko grew impatient and burst across the field. Sasuke's charcoal eyes widened and he activated his sharingan.

Slowly and clearly, he could see the path that Naruko was taking and with a smooth motion, he was able to step to the side, avoiding her fist. The Uchiha countered and used his leg to sweep low and knock down his opponent as she ran past him, however the girl managed to see this coming and leapt into the air.

Sasuke, seeing her vulnerable, threw multiple shuriken into the air with spot on accuracy. Naruko quickly pulled out a kunai of her own and began blocking the metal projectiles. One managed to slightly cut her shoulder, but the pain was very slight.

When Naruko landed, Sasuke was already approaching her position, and she braced herself for a close quarters fist fight. The first punch that Sasuke threw, Naruko dodged, however the second punch required her to block.

Growling in anger, Naruko retaliated with her own punch towards his stomach, but found that Sasuke had flipped behind her. She tried to jump away, but Sasuke had managed to sweep her legs out from under her, and she landed on her back.

Before she could attempt to get up, she felt the cold metal of a kunai against her neck. She sighed in defeat.

"I forfeit." She growled.

Sasuke lent the blonde girl a hand, and he helped her to her feet. "Your taijutsu is much better. I'm guessing Kakashi's training is working out."

Naruko wiped her sweaty forehead with her orange sleeve and nodded. "Yeah, if it wasn't for your stupid sharingan I would have won that taijutsu match."

"Hn, no way."

"Yes way!"

Sasuke was about to retort again until he noticed the cut in her jacket, he could clearly see the bleeding skin underneath.

"Hold on, take off your jacket." Sasuke all but commanded.

Naruko blushed immensely at what the boy had said, but did so anyway. Unzipping her orange and blue jacket, she revealed the simple black tank top underneath and stood uncomfortably in front of Sasuke.

Sasuke, realized that this was actually the first time he saw Naruko without her jacket. He took in her slightly tanned skin and gentle curves. He actually noticed that Naruko was much skinnier than he thought, and her breasts weren't all that big either, in fact they were really small.

"D-don't stare, it's embarrassing ya know?" Naruko said, a blush adorning her face.

Sasuke also blushed as he realized he was indeed staring and went back to the task at hand. He saw where the cut on her shoulder was, and took out a bandage from the ninja pouch on the side of his pants. Silently placing the bandage over her cut, Sasuke looked away from Naruko, knowing that she felt uncomfortable showing as much skin as she did.

When that task was over, he put her jacket back on for her, and walked her back towards the Uchiha mansion. Right before they were about to enter the door, Naruko leaned on her tippy toes and kissed the boy quickly on the cheek.

"T-thanks" She said quietly.

Sasuke nodded, not trusting his own voice before sliding open the door. He and Naruko took a few steps inside, and he closed the door. Naruko turned to walk down the hallway towards her room and Sasuke walked towards the kitchen.

"Sasuke!" Naruko yelled.

Sasuke quickly turned around and walked towards Naruko's room, but found her completely stopped in the hallway.

"Who are they?" Naruko asked, pointing towards two mysterious figures waiting in the hallway.

Sasuke's eyes widened.

"Hello…foolish little brother."
