Chapter 7 Too Late

Another few months went by, as Naruto became more displaced than usual. He felt sick to his stomach. He didn't enjoy anything about his life anymore. The lost man was always tired and restless. All he did was train in the backyard. He barely spoke to anyone. Things had changed for him and Sakura's love only grew. She would brag about him day in and day out. In one Month they would get married. She started making invitations.

Naruto on the other hand could care less about the wedding. He stood in their room starring outside. It was midday and yet he had no incentive to go outside.

"Naruto! Im almost done with the invitations!" Sakura yelled from down the stairs. The young man said nothing. He slowly walked down the stairs. Sakura glanced up at Naruto.

"Whats wrong hun?" She asked turning her attention back to the invitations. Naruto eyed Sakura cautiously at the bottom of the steps.

"Nothing... I'm tired." He replied closing his eyes.

"Oh? you didn't get enough sleep?"

"Not that type of tired."

"What could you possibly be stressed about?"

"I think Boredom has the same effect."

"Find something to do?"

"I trained already."

"Friends-"

"All busy apparently."

"Look I don't know what to tell you." Sakura concluded the conversation. She tried to talk to him but, his quick replies irritated her greatly. Naruto walked over towards the table. Sakura having finally finished it, left one card off to the side.

"who's card is that?" Naruto ask. Sakura glanced at it.

"Oh im still trying to decide if I should invite Hinata or not." Naruto glared at the card.

"Thinking about it?" He said numbly.

"Well im going to invite her... don't worry." Sakura smiled.

"Meh... Some friend you are... im going out." Sakura waited for Naruto to leave the house.
She then glanced at the card that had Hinata's name on it.

"Yes im a great friend. This card for Hinata has a lot more information about our great relationship that Naruto and I have. Im sorry sweety but, I won't let you take my happy ending away." She talked to herself as she prepared to head out to deliver the cards.

Meanwhile with Naruto, He was headed towards the hokage office to get his minds off a few things until he bumped into Shikimaru.

"Oh hey Naruto, how's it going?" He asked with his arms behind his head. Naruto looked tired and sad. "Hey man... whats wrong?" Shikimaru said freaking out a bit. Naruto said nothing but looked into his eyes. "Here bud lets go get some ramen and we can talk about it."

They were at the restaurant and Shikimaru order for both of them since Naruto wasn't speaking much.

"So... what's bothering you?" Shikimaru asked quietly.

"Nothing... I'm just really bored with my life. why is that?" He asked calmly

"Well... life can be troublesome..." Shikimaru said shrugging and looking off to the side.

"That's not what I meant." Naruto said firmly.

"Then how do you see it?"

"It's like... I mess things up. Im brash and Im quick to jump at things."

"Took you years to figure that out?"

"No seriously though..."

"I get it." Shikimaru shook his head as their food finally arrived.

"If anything... I think Marriage is going to be troublesome." Naruto stated.

"You know... My wife can be troublesome but, marriage itself? hardly. I honestly think thats the best thing to ever happen in my life..." Shikimaru trailed off as he finally began to eat. Naruto starred at Shikimaru long and hard before he starred down at his own food.

"Then why do I feel... Like its the worst thing to ever happen in my life." Shikimaru choked on his food. What was he implying?

"Don't be silly Naruto... I mean what about the day you were born. I hate to probe into your personal life but, Im just saying marriage is not by all means, that bad." Shikimaru tried to water down the situation.

" Ha... It's funny because I'd rather live a life of loneliness 10 times over than make a mistake that could not only make me more lonely but, also plunge me into pure depression." Naruto said calmly as he started to eat. Shikimaru dropped his sticks with his mouth wide open. 'Did Naruto just imply that he doesn't want to get married to Sakura? Oh boy I smell drama.' He tried to contain himself. "Don't even sweat it Shikimaru. Im a man and I can own up to my mistakes and my own short comings. I just wish... There was more I could do at this point." Naruto finally said ending the conversation.

Naruto finally made it to the office where Sasuke was seated peacefully with a smile on his face. He was going through his paper work rather fast. "Yes?" Sasuke said not looking up from his work.

"Hey Sasuke..." The Uchiha's eyes shot up.

"It's been a few months since you been here. whats been going on?" He asked the blonde noting that he wasn't looking too good.

"I didn't come up here for a reason. It was to stop me from asking a question I know you had an answer to for the longest but, now I must know." Naruto said quietly. Sasuke shifted in his seat preparing himself for a question he knew he had to answer the right way. His face became emotionless as his eyes bore into the Uzumaki's eyes.

"Go on."

"So... Where is she." He simply stated knowing that Sasuke knew who he was talking about. Sasuke didn't say anything for about a minute. Naruto was about to speak again.

"She's where she's always been Naruto."

"Which is?"

"Hyuuga Estate."

"Oh so she's there. Okay I need to talk to her." He jolted out the office towards Hinata's place.

Meanwhile at the Hyuuga compound, Hinata had taken a liken to her clan instead of following her dreams to be an Anbu Captain. She was sad and tried to hide it as much as possible. Hanabi Saw through this and tried to get her sister to talk but, she wouldn't budge at all.

"Im f-fine really." She quietly spoke as she walked towards the front door to answer. Sakura stood there with a huge smile on her face. Hinata instantly frowned.

"Wh-what is it Sakura..." She asked trying to be polite.

"Oh nothing I just wanted to stop by and give you the invitation to the wedding." She replied with a smirk spreading across her face. Hinata on the other hand was trying to contain herself. Her eyes grew wide.

"... W-wh... when is... wh-when is the w-w-w-wedding?" She stammered out.

"In about 3 weeks. Isn't it great? *sigh* what it feels like to be in love. well here you go Hinata." She extended her hand out as Hinata starred at it long and hard. When she finally grabbed it her hand started to shake rapidly.

"You okay?"

"..."

"Um... I have to go Hinata. See you later." Sakura managed as she jolted away to deliver the rest. Hinata closed the door and her hands still trembled as she ran to her room and weeped. She howled quietly into her old sweater that she wore before the war.

Naruto had raced to the Hyuuga Estate trying to get there in time. He finally arrived knocking on the door. Hanabi answered.

"Yes?"

"Is Hinata there?! I really need to talk to her!" Naruto Shouted.

"She's gone. She left the village." Hanabi said as she leaned against the door frame.

"Damn it! when did she leave?"

"About a hour ago. Shes decided to live somewhere else apparently. She said her career was over and she wanted to forget all her failures." Hanabi frowned.

"Where did she go?"

"Can't tell you that."

"And why the hell not?"

"She told me not to tell anyone but the hokage of her current location. And even I don't know exactly where she went."

"wait how is that possible? How are you going to tell Sasuke if you don;t even know where she went."

"She used an intel type of jutsu. It locks information in my brain so I can't actively use it unless the person who is the other target end of the jutsu is nearby. Even then I can't use the information unless that person and I are alone. She learned it in Anbu." Hanabi explained.

"Fuck me...damn it...god damn it Hinata! you piss me off day in and day out." He yelled storming off towards the house. He now had no motive to do anything. His life was now stagnant and he would now spend his life doing what ever he was suppose to do. He no longer wanted to shape his future. It was too late for him.
