A little side story for you like a prequel/one shot for an extra read not very good but something I just thought of hope you enjoy. Spoiler if you haven't seen the end of Naruto.

Side story.

After the war Sasuke and Naruto were placed into hospital with Sakura and Tsunande finding a suitable prosthetic arm was no easy task. After a couple of weeks we had decided to us DNA from the first Hokage, when both told the news Naruto was he usal bubbly self and excepted gracefully where as Sasuke refused saying "thank you, but this represents what I have been through." Of sakura tried to explain it would be easier to fight though. Although all she got was his typical 'hm' response it was irritating to both of them and but instead of Sakura hitting him she just left them.

"Hey, teme why didn't she... um you get super mad and hit us over the head like usual." Naruto questioned he was worried about her ever since they came back she would stay calm and professional when with them both together. Usually when Naruto was being loud or annoying she would put him in place occasionally that would happen sasuke was around but normally when just the two off them.

"I don't know" Sasuke responded with an black face but when someone from team seven was with them they could see threat this blank face was one of worry.

"Could you go talk to her... I think that after what we have all been through you two need to sort some things out. We did it and we both lost arms so make sure you don't lose the other. Ok?"

"Hm, fine I will go see her today."

"Good, now I WANT RAMON YEAH!"

"Shut up dope."

After, sasuke was released from hospital it was nearing sunset, he wondered around town looking for her. Soon he spotted her sitting on the cliff overlooking the village it was probably the best places to see the village however many didn't know about it since it was too high to climb for civilians and it ninja wouldn't tend to look here or train because it lacked anything dangerous.

"What do you need Sasuke... are you even meant to be out of hospital?" She neither turned or moved which didn't surprise him.

"Hm" he came to sit with her and watch the sunset. He sat a little further back so he could look at her better.

"That's fine if you don't want to answer I'll just leave." She was about to get up but he held her hand making her stay. This shocked her because he wasn't one for contact, so she sat back down and waited for him to talk.

"Why... why have you been so tense and professional when I've around?" He starts trying to find the right words.

"I don't think I have," she denied, he seemed shocked when she didn't just reveal everything to him.

"Sakura, don't lie tell me why you are being cold." Sakura snaps she head towards him glaring.

"Why do I need to tell you why when you don't to me."

"It's different."

"How the hell is it different I've waited years for you and as soon you come back I don't even get ' I'm sorry I tried to kill you and leaving you on that bench, oh and breaking my heart into pieces'." Sakura nearly in tears gets up to walk away she gets a couple steps away when she suddenly sees a chest in front of her. "What do you want get out of my way!" She pushes him away to get away but he held her firm.

"Sakura... I am sorry ok? Now will you talk to me." He looked so sincere so she explained while tears streamed down her face. He thought that even though she was crying it was still heartbreaking to see.

"I love you! I always will, but you all ways said I was annoying I trained so hard to become someone worthy of you! Every waking day thinking I wasn't good enough... every single night wondering if you love another and I'm just getting in the way I would die for you if told me to! I was being calm because I thought you would like girls who are like that not loud and aggressive I know what people say about me I'm not oblivious. 'Sakura's only good enough for a quick fling,' 'l wouldn't want to get with an over emotional and violent girl like her' and ' I'm not surprised he left I would too if that thing was in love with me' Naruto doesn't know my life has been living hell. Even when I was little I stoped eating grew my hair out was innocent and sweet just to make you happy. Can't you see that I'm basically dying... I know that you will never love me, I will the village if you asked me because a future girlfriend was jealous!" Sakura screamed at him tears gushing down her red face she told him her deepest secrets. How could she tell her friends when all they will do is pity you.

"Um..." Sasuke was speechless he was shocked and he expected to be something about him being anti social.

"Is that all you can say! What do I expect a thank you, I love you too, I consider you a friend anything but I get that... I should die back then with haku it's not like I lived my life the way I wanted it to be. "

"Sakura... you're life isn't worthless it never has been me and hundreds of people wouldn't have returned home but thanks to you they did. Never take your life for me so easily got it?" Sasuke turned her around making her look at him wiping her tears away.

"Ok..."

"You are my friend, but please just be yourself around me I don't mind passionate girls and you are way better than any fan girl your my best friend." He lets go of her... letting retrieve her personal space back. Tears slowly stop falling and she whispers a thank you and walks away leaving it on good terms. However she still heartbreaking to hear your sulphate only see as just a friend. Thinking differently to sakura he wonders if she caught onto the underlining meaning of his statements.

Next day she find out that he's leaving so she rushed past people apologizing as she go's but he was at the gate about to leave and wasn't about to not see him goodbye. Approaching fast she sees Kakashi standing there talking to him and shaking hands.

"Idiot why didn't you tell me you're leaving again!" Sakura bellowed catching everyone's attention. But carried because they were used this.

"I tried to tell you yesterday but you left before I could." He countered while seeing her hunched over obviously out of breath.

"Why?"

"I need to see the world we live in and redeem myself."

"Um c-can I go with you" sakura stutters blushing and twiddling her thumbs.

"No... it has nothing to do with you." She looked so rejected but he went up to and placed two fingers on her forehead and whisper "thanks you" she blushes again and I start to walk away. Hopefully... she will wait a bit longer before I can return home

Omg he talked so much I love a bit of depressed sakura sorry couldn't help it. Rate and review please.
