It has been 4 weeks since the hospital incident.

Sakura sighed again looking down sadly.

Ino knew what was wrong.

''Thinking of Naruto again.'' Ino said smirking as she saw Sakura's reaction.

Sakura blushed ''what!'' Sakura asked

''I know you are Sakura.'' Ino said

''Ok ok I am.'' Sakura said sadly

''I just can't stop thinking of him ok. I mean I just finally admitted to myself that I love him ok.'' Sakura said sadly.

''It's ok Sakura I understand ok.'' Ino said reassuringly

''How can you Ino''. Sakura asked

''Well I love sasuke, anyway I don't know if Sasuke loves me back, I can't stop thinking of him so now I'm hoping he will love me for me and notice me.'' Ino said

''You know what?'' sakura asked

''What?'' Ino asked

''I'm going out to find Naruto and I'm not coming back.'' Sakura said determinedly

''What!'' Ino said shocked

''Are you crazy Sakura it's dark out and it's raining!'' Ino said

''Sasuke's coming with us.'' Sakura said

''What!'' Ino said shocked.

''Yeah Sasuke's coming with us.'' Sakura said simply.

''But sigh fine, hey maybe he might notice more this way good idea Sakura.'' Ino said happily.

End then Sakura and Ino started getting ready to go get Naruto.

Sakura put on her red dress, green shorts.

Ino put on her purple top then the bandages in the middle of her stomach, then her purple skirt with bandages on her legs.

Then they put on their gloves, and then they're ninja shoes, then their kunai and shurikan holders on, and their long coat that reaches their ankles.

''Ok let's go.'' Ino said

''Wait.'' Sakura said end then she took a kunai and cut her hair short above her shoulders.

''Huh! Sakura why did you do that''. Ino said very shocked.

''Because I don't love Sasuke anymore he's only my friend, I only grew my hair out because I heard that Sasuke likes long hair girls.''

''Your right.'' Ino said

''But before we leave we have to turn in our ninja headbands so were not wanted missing nins, that's what Naruto did before he left.'' Sakura said.

''Ok.'' Ino said then Ino and Sakura put on there coat hat and open Sakura's window to her room that was the second story and jumped out.

When they landed Sasuke was they're waiting for them.

''Hey.'' Sasuke said and next to him was two dogs.

Then Sasuke noticed they were staring at the 2 dogs.

''Oh these dogs Kiba let me borrow them they are here so one can return our headbands with a note saying that all 3 of us quit, and the others will give our parents a note saying that were gone I already left a note for mine.'' Sasuke said

''Oh good idea Sasuke.'' Ino said.

Then Sakura noticed that Sasuke had a little pink on his cheeks but didn't say any thing.

''Here's my note'' Ino said handing one of the dogs a note end then it left.

''Ok then here's our headbands and you can go home sorry for having you come out.'' Sasuke said end then both dogs was gone.

''Ok we can go now.'' Sakura said then they were off.

------------------------------------OUTSIDE OF KONOHA IN THE FOREST--------------------------------------------------

It was dark and raining hard the 3 had to be careful jumping from tree to tree.

''NARUTO!'' Sakura yelled at the top of her lungs.

''Sakura don't you think we should stop for now, we've been at this for 2 hours and the rain is getting worser.'' Ino said a little worried

''No we can't stop now, not yet tho-'' Sakura was caught off as her foot slipped off the tree and started falling.

''SAKURA!!'' Ino and Sasuke yelled as they saw sakura falling.

''AHHHHHHH!'' Sakura yelled

End then out of no where someone wearing a brown coat jumped out and grabbed Sakura's arm and pulled her up end then grabbed her by the waist and with his other arm grabbed a tree branch.

''Who are-'' Sakura was caught off guard as she saw the persons face through the hood.

''NARUTO!'' Sakura yelled happily

End then Naruto let go of the tree branch and landed softly to the ground.

After they landed Sakura hugging him tightly greeted Naruto, and he hugged her back after he got over the shock.

''Sakura! Are you ok and who's that?'' Ino said with Sasuke next to her

''I'm ok Ino.'' Sakura said happily

Then Naruto took off his hood so Ino and Sasuke could see it's him.

''NARUTO!'' Ino and Sasuke said.

''Hey.'' Naruto said.

''We've been looking all over for you.'' Sakura said with tears in her eyes

''I thought someone was, that's why I came looking out here then I see you falling.

Also we should go back to the house your leg is bleeding Sakura-chan.'' Naruto said

''Ok.'' Sakura said

Then out of the blue Naruto picked up sakura bridal style and started jumping on a tree.

''Follow me guys.'' Naruto said to Ino and Sasuke.

''Ok'' Ino and Sasuke said together end then started following Naruto.
