A/N: Just realized that I forgot to add a disclaimer to my last two chapters.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto. Well, I did once. Wait, that was a dream. Oh well.

Any way, on with the story:

Naruto ran down the road, with a smile that reached from ear to ear. In his hand, he held a small pink present. He ran past Ichiraku Ramen, hesitating for a moment.

'Concentrate'

He shook his head, and started to run again. The old man who ran the place was disappointed, shaking his head sadly.

A little while later, he arrived at the doorstep to a little cottage.

"Gomen kudasai? It's me, Naruto!" he said, knocking on the door.

Nobody opened.

"Ummm... Hello? Sakura-chan?" Naruto was getting impatient. Why wasn't she answering? Was she hurt? Sad?

"Sakura, if you don't open, I'm going to come in, whether you like it or not," he said firmly. But inside, he was worrying. After a few minutes, she still didn't open the door.

Without any hesitation, he kicked a hole through the door, only to find that it had been open all along.

'Ooops.'

Got that right.

Whoah! Are you the Nine-Tails?

No you Baka! I'm your conscience. I guess you could call me an inner you.

Eh? I thought only crazy or insane people have inners!

Well actually, everyone has one but only some people's inners ever come out and speak.

Well why did you choose right now to speak?

You know, it can get quite boring not talking to anybody.

Yes but why right now?

*Sigh* Just shut up and look for Sakura.

*Gasp!* I almost forgot!

*Headdesk*

"Sakura-chan!"he called out. When no one answered, he looked around the house.

'Where could she be?'

"SAKUR-" he stopped as he saw a note on the table.

"Eh, whats this?" he said out loud as he picked up the letter.

Dear Naruto,

I am assuming that you will probably be the first to read this letter, since you will probably come to visit me.

I am very sorry, but I simply cannot bear with this pain inside of me any longer. When you read this, I, as Haruno Sakura will exist no longer.

Naruto stopped reading and gasped. Was Sakura, his beloved Sakura, gone forever? He wanted to tear up the letter there and then, but it was all he had of Sakura-chan. He stared at the blood on the paper. Had she committed suicide? But if she had, where was her body? He fought back the tears as he forced himself to continue reading the letter.

And by the way, no I'm not dead. Bu-

Naruto felt relief sweep over him, throughout his entire body. almost didn't want to read the rest, so that he could just assume she was happy somewhere. But how could she have known that he would think she was dead.

But Haruno Sakura is. I have changed my name and appearance, and I even erased my memories.

He gasped once more. His beloved Saku-chan wouldn't even remember him if he walked up to her and said hello! A single tear slid down his cheek onto the letter. He wiped his eyes and finished reading the letter.

Once again, I'm truly sorry Naruto-kun. I know we both went through so much pain when Sasuke left and it isn't fair of me to do the same thing to you. But I simply can't live like this and it would hurt you more if I committed suicide. Please, focus, train hard and live up to your dreams. I always knew you were meant for greatness, so please don't let me down.

Love,

Ikari Hana

(Haruno Sakura)
