A SIMPLE THANK YOU

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the characters.

Point of Views: Sakura's, normal

Last Chapter:

"So what name will you be going by now?" Kakashi asked, just as curious as the other two members of his team.

"Naruto Namikaze." He answered before disappearing in a yellow flash.

And now:

"Namikaze, I know I heard that name before, how about you Sasuke?" Sakura asked only to notice that her boyfriend's attention was somewhere else, "Sasuke? Kakashi-sensei? She turned to see that her sensei was looking in the same direction as her boyfriend. She looked towards the same direction, and noticed the Hokage Mountain, trying to figure out what the big deal was until she listens to the conversation between Sasuke and Kakashi.

"I've always suspected that the fact that the two looked almost completely alike had to be more than a coincidence." Sasuke said, "And now, I can't help but feel sorry for Naruto when word breaks out."

"I've always suspected as much about his connection to my sensei, now it just confirms it." Kakashi said, while pulling out his usual book.

"I don't get what you are talking about." Sakura said, before Sasuke decided to give his sensei asking that he could leave them alone for now. Kakashi nodded his head in acknowledgement before doing his usual *poof* exit.

"Picture a whisker on all the heads and tell me which one looks the most familiar." Sasuke told her to. When he saw her eyes squint for a bit, and then become wide as dinner plates, that's where you heard the name, from the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Konoha's Yellow Flash."

"But there is no way that idiot could actually be related to the Fourth. That would make him better than you!" Sakura yelled out, showing off her colors to Sasuke.

"That idiot is my friend and my brother. He was also my teammate as well as yours. If it wasn't for him, then I wouldn't be here now, being your boyfriend. Now I'm starting to think that you were just using Naruto for your own selfish gain." Sasuke said with anger, while fighting the urge to use his Sharigan on the girl.

"So what if I did. That moron is heads over me that he'll do anything just to make me happy, I'll gladly do it again." Sakura yelled out, before slapping her hands over mouth after revealing her attention. She was about to blame her inner self until it said 'Hey, don't blame me; I'm the one who actually loves Naruto. This time you'll have to take responsibilities for your own actions."

Sasuke, on the other hand, just found another reason to do what he came here to do, "Sakura, the reason why I wanted to talk to you today was that I wanted to end our relationship now."

Sakura looked like she was on the verge of tears, "But why Sasuke? I thought we were having a good time together!" She practically yelled out.

Sasuke could no longer look at this pathetic girl, "I was happy with you, until you started acting like that stupid fan girl who would abandon everyone she cares about for her own purposes. For this past month, you've been clinging onto me like I'm some kind of trophy that you can showoff against the other girls, especially the ones that moved on. You treat Naruto like he was still the dead last, and try to abuse him again, only to have him show you how much stronger he is than you."

Sakura was too busy trying not to think that this was real. "That monster is not stronger than me. The only reason that he can do all of those things is because of the demon inside of him!" She yelled out, no longer caring who she hurts in the process.

Sasuke looked like he wanted to kill her on the spot for trying to treat Naruto even worst than the way the villagers did, "You know you really are an idiot. Naruto is powerful enough on his own. The fact that he can keep the kyubi with very little effort means that he's stronger than any of us could ever be. You treating him like you did since we were still at the academy, and you're expecting everybody to be the same. Well guess what, Naruto, Hinata, Ino, just about everyone else, including me, have moved on." Sasuke yelled out, "And I don't want to have anything to do with you." He finished before walking away.

"Sasuke, please don't do this to me, please!" Sakura was yelling out, tears were pouring down like a waterfall.

Sasuke just stopped, but he didn't turn around this time, "I'm not doing anything. You only did it to yourself. And if you think Naruto is going to be there to pick you up again, then you better guess again because the one person that gave you his heart took it back and now Hinata is making better use of it." He said, before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.

Sakura than collapsed onto her knees, crying hard hoping that this was all some kind of bad dream.

That day was just the beginning of the end for me. Right now, the clouds in the sky were just giving the village a light sprinkle, while everyone who was outside were just enjoying it since this was the first rain we had all summer. Just as I was passing by one of the barbeque restaurants, I stopped when I notice Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke and everyone who used to consider me their friend, just exchanging stories, jokes, and having a grand time together since this was one of the few times they have together due to their careers as ninjas.

It wasn't until the day after that I went over to talk to Ino about Sasuke breaking up with me when I found out a few more things . . .

Ino was bored out of her mind since today was suppose to be her day off from missions, and here she was watching the flower shop instead of going on a date with Chouji. It wasn't until after she looked up as she heard the bell to the main door ring that she knew that her day just took a turn that she knew she isn't going to like. There in front of her eyes was a very down, and somewhat dangerous looking Sakura, and she already knew what it was going to be about since word has already spread all over the village that Sasuke dumped Sakura.

"What's the matter, Sakura, still bummed over your relationship coming to a screeching halt?" Ino asked, trying her best to be a good friend to the pink-haired girl even though she wasn't acting like a friend to anyone else for the past few weeks.

Sakura just gave a low sigh before nodding her head, "Yeah, and it still hurts. Do you think I can have a nice talk with my best friend again?"

Ino thought about it for a bit before walking towards the back to let her parents know where she was going to be before walking up to Sakura, "Come on, lets go have a walk around in the park while we talk." Ino said, while guiding her friend out the door.

After they reached the park, Sakura spent the next few minutes telling Ino about what happened between her and Sasuke, while also making sure that she left out the parts involving Naruto. When she finished, she could see that Ino had a look on her face as if saying that she knew that she was hiding something.

Ino was about to confront her friend about coming clean, before she turned to see a sight that she couldn't help but laugh at. Sakura was about to ask what was so funny until she heard the blonde say "Oh my god, he really is like a fox sometimes." She yelled out, while she was pointing her finger at the direction she was looking at.

When she heard the word fox, she turned to see a sight that would have made her laugh, but she was getting angry do to her sore pride. There, sitting under a tree, was Hinata, with Naruto lying next to her with his head on her lap. What was making Ino laugh so hard was that while Hinata was scratching a spot behind one of Naruto's ears, one of his legs was just shaking like crazy with his eyes going up into his skull. This is when Sakura's pride took over and she charged over towards Naruto like she was going to murder him and didn't care what casualties came with him.

Ino stopped laughing long enough to see that Sakura was stomping towards Naruto, and she was releasing a very dangerous aura from her body. 'I better stop her before she gets herself killed.' Was Ino's first thought before chasing after the girl.

Sorry, couldn't resist a cliffhanger. Read and Review, and do you think I should throw in Naruto's Sage Mode in the next chapter?
