2. Love

At the tender age of eight Naruto Uzumaki proclaimed his eternal love for one pink haired kunoichi to be.

At the same time one Yamanaka Ino proclaimed loudly that she was going to marry Uchiha Sasuke.

When they turned thirteen, and were separated into teams.

One hoped that the girl of his dreams would finally see how awesome he was and loved him in return. It didn't matter how many times she punch him in the face, or head, or made him fly across the field. He would remain by her side.

And when the bastard abandoned the village and he went to find him and bring him back. He watched, and for the first time realized that what she felt for the bastard was something she would never give to him. He had lost her before it had even started. But he still loved her. And if the bastard made her happy, then the bastard she would get. Even if was to see her smiling again. And it broke his heart to do so.

When she found out that her Sasuke-kun had left the village for good. A part of her died with the news. Ino as the daughter of Yamanaka Inoichi, a prominent interrogator at the TI department knew the consequences of the act the love of her life would be force to face once he was captured.

But as she saw the extent of the injures her friends and classmates had suffered at the hands of those who accompanied him in his escaped, she couldn't ignore the fact that all the love she had for him, slowly turned into hatred and anger.

And when a blond haired boy came with a bloody hole through his chest. Her heart broke and grew cold.
