Sakura's Birthday

The next day, Naruto woke up when his alarm clock rang. (He has an alarm clock?) Though he was sleepy, when he saw the calendar, his face lit up. Today's Sakura's Birthday! COOL! I wonder what I'm going to get her? He sat there thinking until something revealed itself to him. His face lit up again, and he jumped up and down on his bed. It's perfect! I can't wait to see her face...now...where did I put my froggy? He got up and began to search all over the house...WHERE IS IT!

The sun shone on Sakura's face in her bed. She was still sleeping when she began to squint. Damn it! Forgot to close the shades ag...She looked at the calender...HEY! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! With that revelation, she got up and looked at herself in the mirror. What to where? Everyone is going to say stuff...how bout a new color...She sat there...It looked like she was really considering this...Naahh...stick with red and pink... She walked into her closet and began to search around.

Around the same time the Sakura and Naruto were waking up, Sasuke was at the training grounds, training with the other members of Rookie 9. Everyone was shocked at how powerful Sasuke had become. As everyone admired his skill (he had just rendered Shikamaru...Chouji...Kiba...and Shino immobile) he began to think. Unlike the others, he knew it was Sakura's birthday. He couldn't think of a gift, so he brought something that he treasured. It's not that I like her...I DON'T... but...she's a really good friend...I think I owe it to her...well...its done...I already got it ready...Though he wouldn't admit it, he was surprised to find that none of the girls, after seeing him, went wild. Ino's with Shikamaru. Hinata...well...she never really liked mr...is with Kiba. In fact, it looks like everyone is wild about Shino now. He laughed. Wow...I'm free...
Naruto, who had just found his froggy an hour ago, was at the market, looking for some stuff. I can't wait to show Sakura my gift...if it doesn't impress her...I'm gonna cry...not at her...at me...I couldn't think of a good gift for her...besides...It's gonna leave froggy empty...its ok...as long as Sakura likes it...

He left the market and began to walk towards the training grounds. He had to get in some training with his Kekkai Genkai. After seeing just a glimpse of its power, he knew that it could help him be the greatest Hokage in Konoha's history. I wonder if anyone will be there...if so...CHALLENGE! He laughed, and he continued to walk. When he got there, he was surprised to find Sasuke standing there...laughing...not evil laugh...at everyone's faces.

"Hey! INO!" Naruto yelled.

"What?" Ino replied. "Do you want to know what just happened?" Naruto nodded. "Sasuke just pulled a prank on us."

Naruto fell down. "You should have seen the looks on their faces..um...Naruto..." Sasuke laughed. "You ok?"

"Yeah," Naruto smiled. "You've changed so much. Your actually laughing and pulling pranks. Anyways, I need you guys to come over to my...on second thought...Tsunade's place at around 5:00, k?"

"For Sakura's Bday?" Ino asked. "How do you think your gonna convince Tsunade? And not to mention Sakura"

"Just leave it to me," Naruto answered, smiling. "I've got a plan. Now...I got to find Erro-sennin, and show him something...Later!" Naruto began to run.

Everybody, except Sasuke, began to laugh. "It's about time those two got together." Kiba said.

"I know," Shikamaru said, "Me and Ino were hoping they would, but...it took so long."

Hinata laughed, as a redhead girl passed by the training grounds. "I know." She looked at Sasuke. His face was all...wierd. "Yo...Uchiha kid..." She waved her hand in front of his face. "You there?"

Sasuke popped back into reality. "Oh...yeah...I'm here...I was thinking about something...kind of zoned out there..."

"Yeah...you did," she laughed. "You know...Naruto's right...you've changed...maybe that's why nobody's after you."

Sasuke laughed. "Maybe...but thats not a curse...It's ...a ...GIFT...everyone was all over me...all those years ago..." Everyone laughed, including Sasuke, and they continued to talk.

"Who was that?" Sasuke laughed. "The girl who passed."

"Oh my god!" Ino screamed. "Claire caught Sasuke's eye. That's why he zoned out." She laughed. "EVERYBODY," Ino yelled. Everyone stared at her. "SASUKE NOTICED...A...GIRL!

Sasuke, who was not used to being embarrassed, just walking away. "Claire..."

Sakura was walking around the town. Everyone said hi, and she was getting depressed. Why isn't anyone saying happy bday. Did they forget again? They forgot last time. At least, I have a date with Naruto today. I can't believe it. The Chuunin on Team 7 are all sixteen...

Jiraiya and Tsunade were talking to each other, when Naruto just burst through the door.

"Basically," Jiraiya began, "based on what I saw, Naruto's almost ready to learn the next level of his Kekkai Gen-"

"OBA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled.

Tsunade fell over, as Naruto..wait...he wasn't laughing. (Wonder why? Normally I'd get mad...but I think I know why he's here...)

"You want me to throw a party for Sakura at my place," Tsunade said, calmly. "What makes you think I will?"

"Cause I asked you to," Naruto smiled, "Duh!"

Tsunade laughed. "Fine...what time will her friends be arriving?"

"Five," Naruto answered, "And I'll bring Sakura in at 7:00. I've got another date with her, and I'm gonna make it awesome...She'll think that that was all I could plan."

"I have to say," Tsunade said, calmly," I'm impressed. For two things. One...you planned something...for Sakura...which you fail to do for other people." Naruto blushed. "Two...you already passed the first scroll. I'll give you the second at the party."

Tsunade just smiled, as Naruto began to jump up and down.

"Where the hell is Naruto with that chick of his?" Jiraiya was growing impatient. It was 8:00. He received a blow to his head.

"That's no chick to you. If you EVER call Sakura that again," Tsunade threatened, "you'll won't fully be a man anymore." Jiraiya flinched. "Besides, I don't know. Ino's checking the window right now.

She got up suddenly, when she saw Ino fall down. She immediately went to her to find Ino laughing. "What are you laughing for?" Tsunade laughed.

"Naruto...and...Sakura," Ino could barely say. She was having an attack of hysteria. "Don't let anyone else look."

"K, " Tsunade replied. "What about Naruto?" she asked as she lifted the window pane. What she saw cracked a smile on her face.

Naruto and Sakura were making out right outside the door. Their hands were just holding each other close to each other. (Wow...hope they don't rush into things...by the way...shouldn't tell Jiraiya about this...) She closed the pane.

Naruto and Sakura were making out. They broke apart, breathing heavily.

"Wow," Naruto laughed softly. Sakura giggled.

"It better be, Uzumaki." She said. "You were making out with me after all."

Yeah...Tsunade told me to stomp my foot a minute before we enter...he stomped his foot...

"Why did you do that?" Sakura asked.

Naruto laughed. "Do you need to know?"

"Yeah," Sakura voice grew stern. "Tell me. Or I swear, you're gonna wake up in the hospital."

Naruto laughed, "Fine." He opened the door.

"SURPRISE!" everyone yelled.

The party was a sucess. Sakura had the time of her life. Plus, she got awesome presents. Sasuke gave her a CD of a band called "We're the Shadows." Finally, she opened Naruto's present. It was a picture of Team 7 that was taken just before the Chuunin Exams. Naruto was only in the market...to find the picture, and add a special frame and gloss to the picture. Sakura's eyes began to water, and she hugged Naruto.

"Thank you, Naruto," Sakura cried. "This was an awesome party."

"No problem, Sakura," Naruto whispered to her. "No problem..."

That's the chapter...what did you guys think...sorry it took so long...yeah...guess who Sasuke's gonna hook up with?
