Chapter 6
Many Konoha citizens gathered around the Uchiha, all whispering to each other that the prodigy was back, until Tsunade arrived along with her pupil, Sakura. They pierced through the crowd and laid eyes on the one who betrayed Konoha 3 years ago, Uchiha Sasuke.
Sakura opened her mouth in disbelieve and with a small whisper she said
"Sasuke-Kun..."
Sasuke pushed himself up again, still shocked with what happened.
"Naruto...he...what happened to him?" The Uchiha asked.
At this time Sakura started to cry.
"Naruto...he...he left." Sakura dropped to her knees and cried much, much harder.
"He told me to take care of you..." Were Sasuke words.
"NARUTO!" She screamed with all of her might, resonating on the nearby mountains.
Tsunade got to Sakura's level and hugged her, mumbling sweet words, like a mother does.
"He went after me, then in the middle of our fight my brother appeared... We fought and...and I lost, Naruto took me back." Mentioned Sasuke.
"Akatsuki appeared?! Is Naruto all right?" Tsunade asked quickly.
"Yeah, they got away right after they killed Orochimaru." Sasuke answered.
"So, Orochimaru is dead... What now Uchiha, are you gonna leave again?" The Hokage asked bluntly.
"There's no point in leaving now. I'll stay and I'll get stronger, because...because the next time I see him, I'll kill him!" Sasuke said while gazing the clouds on that dark night.
"We have to do something Tsunade-Sama!" Sakura replied while trying to clean her eyes.
"There's nothing we can do Sakura... We have to accept that...that Naruto is gone." Tsunade told the pink haired girl while a single tear made it's way down her face to the ground as the many water drops that started to fall from the sky, They're not the only one's who suffer...the clouds suffers with them.
It was already late at night and not to mention that it was raining heavily, however Sakura sat on her rooftop, feeling each rain drop making their way down her face, her arms, her legs... Filling her mind with thoughts of Naruto, that is until he arrived.
"Sasuke...? Sakura asked confused.
The Uchiha sat next to her and looked to the crying sky.
"Why did he left?" Simply asked Sasuke.
"He...he misunderstood something that I said, I was having a chat with Ino about my feelings about him and...you. I told her that I still loved you but just like a brother..." Sakura answered.
"Let me guess, he didn't heard the brother part? That dobe... Well at least that means you're not gonna ask me to date you right?" Sasuke said while getting back to his feet.
"Don't worry, those times are long gone." Answered Sakura with a smile.
"Good... Don't worry he'll be back soon, now go home or you'll get cold." He stated and jumped to the night.
"Thanks... Sasuke." Sakura jumped to the ground and opened her door, hoping to rest a little bit before her hospital shift.
What will happen to Konoha now without the blond knucklehead, loudmouth, bighearted and courageous Genin?
