Hey guys, sorry I am late. Thanks for the reviews by the way. I don't own NARUTO…..

Naruto followed Sasuke's gaze, his eyes too, went wide as Sasuke's were. There were three letters lying on the counter with their names addressed on it. Both of them picked up their letters and the only letter lying on the counter was Kakashi's .

Both of them had just finished reading their letters when Kakashi appeared on the doorstep of Sakura's house.

Naruto turned towards Kakashi with tears in his eyes. "Kaka-sensei….Sakura-chan….she…" He choked on his tears.

Kakashi sighed. Sasuke was clutching the letter when his eyes landed on the lonely letter lying on the counter. He picked it up and gave it to Kakashi.

"I think, this one's is for you, Kakashi." He said.

"Ah." Kakashi said and took the letter from him "We should get back to the Hokage tower." He added.

All of them nodded and left for the Hokage tower.

"I guess you already found out?" Tsunade said while sighing.

She was sitting on the chair with Shizune standing beside her who had tears in her eyes.

"Baa-chan, we have to go and find Sakura-chan." Naruto shouted.

"No." Tsunade said firmly.

"Why not? Otherwise she would become a rouge nin." Sasuke said.

"She won't." Tsunade said.

"How come?" Kakashi asked this time.

"Because I gave her the permission to leave the town for 3 years." Tsunade said and closed her eyes waiting for all the shouting that was gonna happen.

"WHAT?!" Three of them shouted.

"Why did you let her leave? What if something happens to her? What if…." Naruto shut up and when Tsunade spoke.

"That's why I let her leave. You are too protective, Naruto." She said.

"But still." Sasuke said. He didn't know why but he was getting effected by all this.

'I hate you, Sasuke.'

Sasuke shook his head.

"She wouldn't have to leave, if Kakashi you had supported her instead of always focusing on Naruto and Sasuke. She wouldn't had to leave, if you weren't too overprotective That sometime you ignored her real strength, Naruto. She wouldn't have to leave, if only you had helped her to train instead of always insulting her, Sasuke." Tsunade took a deep breath to calm herself down "She isn't weak but you all made her feel useless. That's why she left." She added in calmer tone.

Three of them looked down in shame.

"I am going to assign you people a new team mate tomorrow. Be here at 7:00" Tsunade informed them.

"I don't want any other team mate other than Sakura-chan.." Naruto shouted.

"Yes you are getting a new team mate. Now get lost." Tsunade said while trying to control her temper.

"Hokage-sama, where are Sakura's parents? Do they know that she left the village?" Kakashi asked.

"They're dead." Tsunade said.

"What? How?" Naruto asked while everyone's eyes went wide.

"They were travelling outside the village while you were on the mission when a group of bandits robbed and killed them." Tsunade informed them.

"Does Sakura…." Sasuke never got to complete his question because Tsunade answered him.

"Yes she knows. I told her before she left. Now let me do my work. Out." Tsunade told them.

Three of them went their own way.

Naruto left of Ichiraku. When he got there, he ordered a bowl of ramen and remembered what Sakura had written in the letter.

Hey Naruto

I am so sorry Naruto. I should not have shouted on you like that. You are like my brother and I know you think me of as your little sister that is why you always were so protective of me. Don't worry, when I'll come back, I'll be lot stronger then you don't have to be so worried about me. Okay? Hehehe….Oh yeah can you just go out and like ask Hinata out. She is so in love with you that everybody knows. Heck I think even Sasuke-kun knows that but you're the only one who is oblivious to that. Just go and ask her out, will ya? When I come back, I want little Uzumaki kids playing around. Just kidding. Love her because she is the only one who loves you the most. And you better be the Hokage in training when I come back.

Bye Naruto

See you soon

Sakura

Naruto closed his eyes, thought 'Sakura-chan', and opened his eyes.

"Naruto, I can do this. Don't be so over damn protective of me?" Sakura shouted.

"But Sakura-chan, I don't want to hurt you. That's why I am not going all out." Naruto whined.

"Naruto." Sakura growled.

When he looked out of the Ichiraku stand he saw Hinata approaching. A sudden smile cracked on his face.

"Oye! Hinata-Chan!" He called out to her.

Hinata looked at him and blushed "Naruto-kun?"

"Come and have ramen with me." Naruto exclaimed with a smile.

Hinata blushed and then smiled and walked towards him to have her first date with Naruto.

Kakashi was sitting under the tree on the training ground where Team seven had their bell test.

Kakashi-sensei

I am sorry sensei. I should not have said that. You are not the worst teacher I have ever met. Believe me. I was just angry. I know that Naruto and Sasuke-kun are very important and they need to be trained. I know, till now, I was only a hindrance between everyone. Don't worry I am not upset from you for giving your time to Naruto and Sasuke-kun. Please when I'll come back I want them to be the strongest people I've ever met and only you can train them. Please do that and I am again sorry.

Bye Kakashi-sensei

See you soon

Sakura

Kakashi sighed and looked up to the sky and remembered that moment when he refused to train Sakura.

"Kakashi-sensei, would you help me with this new jutsu I am trying?" Sakura chirped.

Kakashi turned towards her and gave her an apologetic smile. "I am sorry Sakura. I really don't have time."

Sakura's expression turned sour.

"Yeah all you do is train with Sasuke-kun and Naruto." She mumbled.

"Did you say something?" Kakashi asked.

"I know you are busy. But can you please help me with this?" Sakura again tried.

"Sorry Sakura. Go ask someone else." Kakashi said and poofed out.

"I am sorry. I've been a bad sensei. Just be safe." Kakashi said to himself.

Sasuke was lying on his bed with lights off in his room. He had his letter that Sakura had given in one hand and his other arm was covering his eyes.

Hey Sasuke-kun

Um…I really don' know what to say to you. You're the best man I've seen in my life. You're handsome, you're strong and what? You have so many qualities. But most of all, you're kind hearted. Even though you always told me that I was weak, I was a burden. Always telling me to train, telling me off, showing that you didn't care but you did. Always did. Whenever I was in trouble, you were always there to protect and that's the thing I love in you. I am sorry Sasuke-kun but I tried not to love you but I can't. I am so in love with you that I promised myself that I would become strong so that I can walk with you and Naruto. Please don't forget me. I will not get angry if I come to know that you like someone in the village when I was gone. I will be the first one to support you because I love you and I will never stop. I am sorry for what I said but I can't hate you. I am sorry, Sasuke-kun. So when i'll come back, you'll be the first person that i will see.

Goodbye Sasuke-kun

I love you

Sakura

"Sasuke-kun, should we go and grab some ramen?" Sakura asked with a smile.

"I don't have time." Sasuke said non chantly.

"But-" She tried to speak.

"Go away Sakura. Don't be annoying." He said and left.

Sasuke turned towards the wall and closed his eyes. The letter fell from the bed. Sasuke hugged himself.

"Sakura." He murmured softly "Come back to…..me" He added and fell asleep.


Uff….done. How was it? Good or better or very good? Hehehe lolzz…I am just kidding. Tell me how was the chapter?

Stay tuned
