Hey everyone. I'm back. Also, I have redone tracks 1 & 2 with completely new songs and everything. I also changed the song for this chapter. Why? Read and find out. The track is called Exclusive (No Excuses) by DAY 26. Also I need someone to tell me what they want to see next chapter.
Track 5: Exclusive (No Excuses)
After finishing the hearty breakfast, Naruto and Sakura met Sasuke in the Hokage's office, the back of Tsunade's chair facing them. Sasuke smiled as the pair walked in.
"Hey you two, how are you guys?" Sasuke asked.
"We're great Sasuke, you?" Sakura replied.
"I'm okay."
Suddenly the chair turned around to reveal the Godaime Hokage herself.
"Good morning you three; I trust you slept well?"
Three nods were the response. She continued.
"You have been gathered here…" She began when someone jumped in the window.
"Am I late?" The person asked.
"No Jiraya, you're not late." Tsunade answered wryly.
Then the door burst open revealing Kakashi, Yamato, and Shizune.
"Are we late; a thousand apologies Tsunade-sama!" Yamato said bowing.
"No one is late. Now if I could continue…" She growled out when she was interrupted again by the three Shinobi. She sighed.
"Now that we are all here, I can begin. You have been gathered here to bestow upon you a great honour and mission. As you may know, you all have been trained by one of the three legendary Sannin, Sasuke by Orochimaru, Naruto by Jiraya, and Sakura by me. We still may be the three Sannin, but we are getting older and won't be able to do our duties with the same, as Gai might put it, youthfulness that we used to."
Everyone in the room shuddered at the reference. Tsunade continued
"In view of this fact, I bestow upon you three the highest honour that a team of accomplished Shinobi. Team 7, with the power vested in my as Hokage, I appoint you, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura, as the three Neo-Sannin. Congratulations."
It took a minute for the news to sink in, but then the full import of the message set in and pandemonium broke loose. Tears of joy, hugs, excitement; all were heard and felt in the room. Everyone in the room shared a group hug.
"We're all so proud of you." Kakashi said in a fatherly tone. He may not have been a proper sensei to Naruto and Sakura, but he was always keenly interested in their progress. They were still like the children that he never had.
"I believe that a celebration is in order." Yamato suggested.
"I agree." Jiraya started. "How about we go to…"
"Oh no, most definitely NOT the onsen Jiraya; we're not helping you with any of your 'research' projects!" Tsunade said firmly as Jiraya pouted.
"Actually, today is Sakura-chan and my date night. We do it every Wednesday at Club Shinobi. Maybe we could go there?" Naruto suggested.
"That sounds like a good idea. I could bring Ino-chan along too… that is if…" Sasuke began.
"It's fine Sasuke. You don't have to ask me. Bring her if you want to."
Sasuke smiled.

That night, Club Shinobi was packed out from end to end, standing room only. As the group (Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, Ino, Yamato, Shizune, Jiraya, Kakashi, and Tsunade) entered the club, Sasuke pulled Naruto aside.
"Is everything ready?"
"Yep, it's all right here." He said, handing Sasuke a packing scroll.
"Good."
--
"Good evening everyone, having a good time?" the MC said as the crowd roared.
"Aiight, that's what I like to hear. Tonight is Karaoke night. (Déjà vu much?) Our first performers both made their debuts on this stage. Please welcome Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki."
As the two stepped on the stage, Sakura and Ino looked at each other, confused.
'What in the world are they doing?'
As the two sat down on the stools on the stage and unsealed their guitars, (yes, Naruto knows how to play a guitar) Sasuke spoke to the crowd.
"We wanted to dedicate this song that my brother Naruto wrote to the two very special women that have our hearts. Their probably wondering 'what the heck are they doing?' Well, we wanted to do this because they have stood by us through thick and thin and this is how we wanted to thank them."
This was Naruto's cue. He started to play a tune as Sasuke started to sing.
Exclusive (No Excuses) – Day 26
(Sasuke's lines, Naruto's lines)
Life is
such a crazy thing,
It's never really what it seems,
Cause
first we were chillin,
Now I got your feelings
Can you tell me
what this means?
I'm going through my voicemail,
And I'm saving
every message you sent
I tried to read between the lines,
To
see if there was somethin' I missed.
All of a
sudden, my vision became so clear.
Everything I needed was right
here,
Before me (before me)
So pressed to let you know
Just
how you make me feel
Never had a feeling that's so real
Control
me. (and I'm ready, girl I'm ready)
(Chorus)
Don't
wanna play no games,
I want you exclusive,
Baby, we should
just do this,
With the feelings so strong,
How can we go
on?
No games, I want you exclusive
There's no more
excuses
The feelings so right
I want you girl, I need you
girl
(Verse 2)
I really love your
company,
Hate it when you gotta leave
Another opportunity,
For
me to say everything.
So tell me if I'm buggin,
When you
look at me like that (like that).
I wanna say something,
But I
don't know how you're gonna react.
All of a
sudden, my vision became so clear.
Everything I needed was right
here,
Before me (before me)
So pressed to
let you know
Just how you make me feel
Never had a feeling
that's so real
Control me. (and I'm ready, girl I'm
ready)
(Chorus)
Don't wanna play no
games,
I want you exclusive,
Baby, we should just do this,
With the feelings so strong (strong)
How can we go on?
No
games, I want you exclusive
There's no more excuses (no more
excuses)
The feelings so right
I want you girl, I need you
girl
(Hook)
Ooohh, you knew it all
along,
What was going wrong,
Let me state
my claim
Before its too late
I don't
care how this may sound,
But you need to know right
now.
So I might as well just come on out and tell
ya.
All of a sudden, my vision became so
clear.
Everything I needed was right here,
Before me (before
me)
So pressed to let you know
Just how you make me
feel
Never had a feeling that's so real
Control me.
(And I'm ready, girl I'm ready)
(Chorus)
Don't
wanna play no games,
I want you exclusive, (exclusive)
Baby, we should just do this, (baby lets do this)
With the feeling's so strong (so
strong)
How can we go on? (Go
on)
No games, I want you exclusive
There's no
more excuses (no more excuses)(ooohh baby)
The feelings so right
(So right)
I want you girl, I
need you girl
Don't
wanna play no games,
I want you exclusive, (exclusive)
Baby, we should just do this, (baby lets do this)
With the feeling's so strong (so
strong)
How can we go on? (Go
on)
No games, I want you exclusive
There's no
more excuses (no more excuses)(ooohh baby)
The feelings so right
(So right)
I want you girl, I
need you girl

When they finished, the crowd went crazy. Sakura and Ino were in tears and Jiraya was giving a nod of approval.
"That's my boy; no one could've done it better."
--
When the night was over and everyone was walking home, Sasuke nudged Naruto and winked. Naruto knew what this meant and stopped with Sakura while Sasuke and Ino kept going.
"Why are we stopping Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura-hime, I need to tell you something." He said leaning close to her.
"Oh crap, he called us hime. Child he's 'bout to do somethin'."
'I know that.'
"What is it Naruto?"
"I need to tell you that I love you with all my heart. You're my sunshine and my rain. You're smile, you're eyes, you're style, you're swag; everything about you makes me smile from the heart. And I wanted to know if you love me like I love you."
Tears slid down her cheeks as she landed herself into his arms.
"Yes, I love you too, Naruto-kun."
They stood there for a moment and then Sakura looked up at Naruto. They inched closer to each other and tasted each other's lips. At first they were a little uncoordinated, but when Naruto licked Sakura's bottom lip, she opened her mouth and the kiss sparked to life.
"There you go kit, your mate has arrived. I'm happy for you."
'Thanks Kyuubi.'
They separated for air and leaned their foreheads together.
"I love you Sakura-hime."
"I love you too, Naruto-kun."
Finally! They are together! Long time in coming wasn't it? Well, I'm off tomorrow so I'll try to update. Tell me what you guys thought. R&R. Later y'all.
