UNREVEALED

'Narumi'- stands for fake Narumi.

Narumi- stands for real Narumi.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Okay, 'Narumi'. Tell me exactly what happens to your parents.' Tsunade asked the boy.

'My dad said, my real father passed away, but he didn't state why. He said that he's guilty to my real parents, so he and my mom decided raise me. My dad said that this necklace was found on the ground when he picked me up from the jungle. So, I have no idea who I am. My dad said, the name 'Narumi' is the name that my real father was planning to give to me before his death, so my dad has completed his wish then, by giving Narumi as my name. That's all I know.. ' he said.

'what was your father's name?' Tsunade asked.

'which father do you mean? The real one, adopted one, or my dad?' the boy counted with his finger.

'How many father do you actually have??!' Naruto stood transfixed with his mouth agape with surprise.

'Uh.. 3?' he chuckled nervously.

'Um.. the first one is my real father, that I really don't know who is he. Second one, my adopted father, Jijuu Yusakawa. I work for him, then he adopted me. Third one, my dad. He is my adopted father too. But, he's the one who raise me, as I told you earlier. His name is Sano kotarou.'

But there is a person that grows hatred towards Arashi, that is the one who used to become your father's best friend. His name was Sano Kotarou. Arashi defeats him in a battle and he hated Arashi because of his love towards your mother. Soon after that, he was found missing and was nowhere to find.

The sentences in the letter that was written by Sandaime keeps rolling in Naruto's mind.

'Sa.. sano.. Sano Kotarou?' Naruto stuttered. The boy nod. 'Isn't he.. obba-chan..' Naruto looked at Tsunade as she nod too.

'well, 'Narumi'.. You deserve a good rest. We'll explain everything to you later in the morning. Meanwhile, Naruto, I have something to discuss with you about Sakura.' Naruto nod.

'Narumi' get up and walked out from the room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Narumi' walks to his room, with a dark shade following him. He stopped. 'Good job, Yashamaru.' Noriko whispered and smiled evilly. 'Narumi' grinned.

'They are so stupid for believing me as Master Narumi,' he laughed maliciously.

'Control your voice, stupid! They might hear us!' said Noriko, giving 'Narumi' a bob on his head.

'Sorry, Miss Noriko.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After assuring that 'Narumi' had far enough from the door, Naruto asked. 'so, what about sakura?'

'it's nothing. I wanna dicuss about 'Narumi' actually,' she grinned. Naruto humphed.

After a couple of second, his face turned out to be somber. He was feeling doubtful. Naruto asked Tsunade what was rolling in his mind.

'Are you pretty sure he is Narumi?'

'I don't know. His story was perfect. Totally perfect.' Tsunade sighed.

'And that's what I've been thinking. His story.' Naruto sighed.

'And as far as I have searched in Wakizashi, I've went to the local council, and find nothing about Narumi. He claimed himself as a farmer there, so it should have a record. But it got none.' Naruto sighed.

'Plus, he made Sano sound so nice.. and I hate it..' Naruto grunted.

'You have to keep an eye on him. He probably a spy. I'll tell Jiraiya about this and we'll discuss again tomorrow, yes?' Tsunade pat his shoulder.

'Yeah, it's dark, I'd better went home.' He said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto can hear his stomach grumbling. Thank God the Ichiraku still opens. He decided to go and have a meal there when someone pat his shoulder. 'Hey.'

'Hey.'

'Going to Ichiraku?' Sakura asked him. Naruto just nod. 'Yeah. Wanna come? My treat.' He said.

'Sure.'

As they sit there, Naruto ordered 2 bowl of Miso-Ramen for both of them.

'Sakura-chan?'

'Ne?'

'Are you okay now?' he turn his head to hers. 'What do you mean?'

'I mean, have you settled your problems?'

'uh.. not quite, but planning to solve it in the near future..' she giggled nervously.

'Oh, I see.' He said, finishing his 3rd bowl. 'Don't think about it too much, sakura-chan. Otherwise, it'll take away your glee. I don't want seeing you with a gloomy face anymore..' he said, smiling to her.

Sakura sighed. 'You won't.' she said. 'I guess..' she mumbled.

'um.. Naruto?'

'Yes?'

'uh.. do you mind accompany me to a place?' she asked him.

'Uh.. sure.'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They stood on the beginning of the stone path that led into a forest of pink, white, and magenta, all lit by a full moon. The sight was blissfully tranquil.

'Wow. I never realized konoha had such a beautiful place..' Naruto said to her.

'That is because you left this place for so long..' she said.

'I guess so..' he grinned.

They walked and talked usual things they would do, before Naruto won a bob on his head for making fun of Sakura. He didn't change on this one, really. The path was going on forever, but that was how Sakura wanted it.

'hey, there's a bench there. We can sit there, if you don't mind..' Naruto said, pointing to a bench near them.

Sakura nodded. She placed a sit beside Naruto and looked upon the stars.

'It's beautiful, isn't it?' she said.

Her eyes gleaming. She smiled when she remembered that she used to hope his prince charming will be sitting here and watching stars with her when she was small. And that prince charming turned to be Naruto.. She can't avoid herself from smiling..

'sakura-chan?'

'hm?'

'Can I ask you something?'

'sure.' She said, smiling to him.

'What did you see in Sasuke, actually?' he turned his body to hers, but then notices a change at her expression.

'oh.. sorry.. You don't have to answer that.. Sorry..' he said, apologizing and slapping his head for being so idiot.

'No, Naruto. Don't be. Actually, I don't really know why I fall for him, the first place..' she breathed heavily.

' I guess, it was just a childhood crush.. and it was funny for me to like him.. But not anymore..' she tried to smile.

'yeah.. funny..' Naruto sighed. He looked at the moon.

Sakura take a deep breath. She gulped.

'Naruto.'

'Hm?'

He turned his head to her.

'Um.. I.. uh..' she stammered.

Naruto then turn his body towards her, raising his brows. Sakura gulped.

'Oh my god! Focus, Sakura, Focus!!' she said to her heart.

'Uh.. do you.. like me?' she seemed to be asking her hands. Naruto agape.

The blonde blushed a pinky shade but she saw a serious expression in his face.

"Uh...yeah... honestly, I have..." He half-mumbled.

'And will always be..' he mumbled.

Naruto ladle out his face, get up and finally spoke.

'It's late, we'd better..' he never got to finish, in an instant, she wrapped her arms around the blonde and kissed him as hard as she could. She pulled back from the stunned blonde with a blushing red. '

I.. I..' she stammered and played with his fingers with eyes on the ground.

Suddenly, she can feels a warm touch on her hands. She looked at Naruto and gulped. Naruto wraps his hands on hers and she tightens it. She rest her head on his chest and Naruto tightens the hug.

'I love you, Naruto..' she finally manages to say that to him.

'I love you too..' he said as he kissed her.

Unknown to them, a dark shade appears meters away. It was grinning evilly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Naruto, I'll see you at Ino's house.. 4 pm. don't be late, okay? And shikamaru have something to talk to you too..' Sakura's saying had just pop up to his brain.

'Oh my God!!!!!! It's 4.20 pm!!!! Sakura's gonna kill me!!' He said to Tsunade as he wish Tsunade will let him leave early from their meeting today, but get none from her.

4.40 pm, he runs out of the office without hearing what Tsunade will says or will do but thinking of Sakura and her painful fists.

He knocks the door, and tries to open it but surprisingly it was unlocked. Hearing something from the kitchen, Naruto cannot think about anything else but his Sakura-chan. As he poked to the kitchen, he sighed in relief as he saw a woman form in pink hair. He walks slowly and silently towards her. His hands snuck up to her waist and hugged her form to him. And that win him a whack on his head.

'What have I told you?' Sakura turn her body to his.

'Sorry.. it's Obba-chan.. She doesn't let me go out before the meeting is over..' he said, apologizing..

Sakura sighed. She put her arms around his neck.

'Don't do that again.' She said.

'I won't..' he said, as he tightens her body to his. Naruto leaned to kiss her but suddenly the doorbell rings. Sakura quickly let go off Naruto.

'Hm.. Ino's back.' she said, as she rushed to the door.

Naruto grunt a protest. Sakura opened the door and sees Shikamaru and a very pregnant ino was outside. She let them in.

'Glad you're back..' Sakura said. 'Yeah.' ino place a sit on the couch.

'Sorry for making you taking care of our house, Sakura. We've been shopping for our baby, and I found this cute socks.. ' ino paused, as she search for the item in her shopping bag.

'Here.' she said as she handed Sakura.

'I can't help it..' she said, smiling..

'It was cute, right Naruto?' Naruto just nod, and smiled.

'Oh yeah, Shika. What are you going to talk with me?' Naruto asked. Shikamaru runs a signal of them to be talking somewhere else. Naruto follows him at the back.

'It's about Narumi.' Shikamaru said, his face was pure somber.

'What?!'

'How did you know about Narumi?!' Naruto jerked up.
