Road to Nowhere

Chapter 2

Sakura was still on her way to work when Naruto jumped down from what looked like a cloud, "Hmm that was kinda weird, I was just thinking of him," she said.

"Hey Sakura-chan," the ever-enthusiastic Blonde exclaimed, which got a warm smile and a, "Hello Naruto" from Sakura, which made Naruto's cheeks blush for some reason unknown to him.

The two walked in silence until Naruto finally built up enough courage to take the punch that was sure to hit him square in the face when he asked Sakura on a date. "Sooooo Sakura… I was thinking… perhaps we could maybe grab some Ramen after your shift," Naruto timidly squeaked out before closing his eyes and looking away getting ready for the punch that was sure to hit him soon. But didn't.

"Sure, sounds good," Sakura calmly said even though her mind was screaming 'THANK GOD I thought this day was going to suck.' Naruto, as calmly as he could possibly muster (which wasn't very,) exclaimed, "OK what time do you get off?" To which, from Sakura, came the response of, "seven." "OK great looks like I have enough time to train," Naruto yelled loudly.

Sakura knew, though, that every time he did some 'training' he would wind up fifteen minutes late because he ended up falling asleep under the same tree that he and Sasuke used to train on.

'Well looks like I will have enough time to cure at least one more person,' Sakura thought to herself, even though her mind was mostly taken up with imagining what Naruto looked like without his shirt on, she presumed fairly muscular. "OK well see you at seven," Naruto said, interrupting her fantasies.

"OK bye Naruto," she exclaimed back. (With Naruto) "You know I should probably train a little less today so that I'm not so late and so I can go pick out an outfit other than this," he ponderingly said to no one in particular.

Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by an overly loud and high-pitched voice that everyone in the village heard at least a-hundred times a day… "Ino," he quietly muttered somewhat thinking of placing a shadow clone there, thus giving him time to escape from the clutches of her retched gossiping which she could keep up until the end of the day if you gave her the chance. "Hey Ino," the not too excited Naruto said.

"Say Naruto you seem like you're thinking about something pretty deep," Ino said somewhat concerned but mostly in it for some inside information. Naruto, who was caught up with other thoughts absent-mindedly replied with, "Sakura and I have a da…" Naruto, right when he was about to say the word 'date' changed it to 'dinner,' but Naruto knew that Ino wouldn't buy it. "Yah right you two are going on a date aren't you!" she excitedly exclaimed loud enough for the whole village to hear.

"SHHH! Ino stop the whole village will hear you, besides it's not a date we're just going to get some ramen," Naruto quickly replied before she could say anything else that might affect Sakura's reputation since that was his primary concern. "Yah well I hope that someday you man-up enough ask her on a date because if you don't someone else will," she coldly retorted. "Well it's not like I have a chance with her anyways," he replied also rather sharply.

"Are you kidding Naruto? How could you be that blind she has been sending you signs for like a year!" she said rather surprised that he had absolutely no idea, 'but I suppose that's Naruto' she thought to herself. "Pfff yah right then maybe I should surprise her with a trip to 'that' place," he said jokingly.

This was returned with a rather surprising response, "Naruto… that's genius! But do you have that kind of money?" "Well yah I've been doing extra missions but… wait it doesn't matter all that would earn me is a fist in the face," he replied. "No Naruto trust me just do it you won't regret it I promise, I mean you still love her don't you?" she said which earned an immediate, "OF COURSE!" from Naruto.

"Soooo… YOU'L DO IT!" exclaimed the loud mouth again. "Ughhh ok fine but sometimes I think you like watching me in physical pain" Naruto said sarcastically.

"Well I won't be there obviously," she said just as sarcastically. "OK well bye Ino I gotta get ready," he excitedly exclaimed. "Hmmm I suppose a nice suit would be best, but not all black," he said to himself. (Three hours later) "This should be great thanks Mister," Naruto said to the man who sold him the suit fifty percent off, because he valued the ninja's service to their village.

The old man waved back and said his thanks for Naruto's service.
