He tried so hard. He tried so hard for all of us. He had such high dream to achieve, and yet… he's finally able to get what he wants. He's a Hokage now.
But trouble's not over yet. He still tried so hard, tried so hard to get back the one that used to be ours. We all knew that whatever we do, we won't be able to get it. But he kept on trying, trying so hard.
We're all trying so hard, he tried harder than most of us. He still tried to get my love. I loved him, I used to love his as friends. But things changed. The one we expected to return won't return.
We should move on, and he should stop trying.

Knock! Knock!
"Come in," he called. I opened the door and he cheered when he saw me. "Sakura-chan!"
I walked into the room and hugged him.
"Hey," I said. "How's it? Being a Hokage sure is tough huh?"
He laughed and messed my hair up.
"You wish!" he yelled. "It's so fun every day! I get to boss people around and no one can harm me!"
I smirked at him and raised my fist.
"Not anyone," I said and he looked at my fist.
"You know Sakura-chan, that's not very cute of you," he said. "You look more like that Karin girl from Sasuke's new team."
"Say what?" I yelled at him. "How dare you Naruto! Comparing me to that bitch!"
Naruto laughed and looked at his paper works again.
"Boy, you sure have a lot of work to do," I said. "I'll help you with that."
I picked up a bunch of papers. He nodded and searched the papers around him.
"What is this?" I asked, picking a piece of paper from my pile. "Operation Cursed? Is this…"
"Sakura-chan, don't!" he yelled at me. He snatched the paper and I looked at him.
"You're still trying aren't you?" I asked him. "We said we'll stop already! It's time to move on, Naruto!"
He shook his head and looked at me with such misery.
"No," he said. "I can't. I promised you, you'll never be happy if I ever stopped trying!"
I looked at him and smiled sadly.
"I'm happy the way we already are," I said. "We better off without Sasuke, Naruto. We should live our life without him. We can no longer count on him to return anymore."
He shook his head and grabbed both of my arms.
"I…can't," he sobbed. I looked at him and my tears flowed. "I needed to… I'm not strong enough, I didn't try hard enough."
I held his face and looked into his blue eyes.
"You're wrong about that," I said. "You're the one who tried hard… you're the one who tried hardest than any of us. That's why…"
I leaned in to kiss him. He was shocked at first but he enjoyed it later on.
"You can stop trying now,"
