Gomen if my story wasn't pleasing. Please leave a comment to criticize my story. SO,I'm going to time skip the Wave mission arc. Let's just say Naruto saved the day with Sai,Sakura and Kakashi. Don't worry Sasuke will appear very very soon. Let's enjoy the story (hopefully) and thank you for reading.

Itai! I nearly forget to say the disclaimer.

Naruto korra does not own Naruto as Naruto is Kishimoto's creation. I'm just borrowing for a little while.

Bittersweet

A familiar pinkette sat at the Ichiraku stall eating ramen silently. Images of Sai nearly dieing and Haku actually dieing flashed through her mind. Sakura was not comfortable with deaths . She felt someone sat near her.

"Oii! Old man one pork ramen please!"

Naruto waited impatiently. He looked at Sakura, grinning playfully.

"Ne Sakura-chan,look at us. Two people alone. Kinda like a date aah?" Naruto winked at her while flashing a nice guy pose. He was desperately trying to lighten the mood by conversing with said girl. However Sakura seem to be in a bad mood today.

"So this other day I bumped into this guy and then-"

"Naruto stop. I want you to keep away from me."

"W-what's wrong? Is it because of what's inside of m-"

"IIE. It's just… I can't live the way you do. I can't be happy all the time. I'm different from you."

"What do you mean Sakura-chan?"

" I killed someone very dear to me. I'm a monster."

Naruto choked on his ramen. Ayame who happened to passed by immediately gave Naruto a glass of water. Naruto coughed repeatedly. Finally composing his breath Naruto turned to looked at Sakura only to find Sakura gone.

Naruto bit his lip worriedly. He put some money onto the table and stumbled his way outside the stall. Ayame looked at the retreating boy.

For the first time,Naruto actually didn't requested for any seconds…

Sakura walked through the streets of Konoha solemnly. She had received a letter from leader-sama yesterday reminding her of her mission. What was she thinking she could never have a happy life at least not in Konoha. How would her… Her friends think of her?

Hinata..

Naruto…

"What are you doing here Sai? "

The paled face boy stepped out of the shadows smiling at the pinkette. Sakura looked at him plainly before speaking monotonously.

"Why are you here? I'm not stupid, I know you work for Danzou . What's your purpose with Naruto?

"Well Sakura-san I know you are far from stupid. However I have no intention to tell you my purpose with Naruto-san. If you really are curious,I'll put it simply. I am watching Naruto-san. Although I am foreign with your technique of fighting I'm well aware of your cursed blood-"

"URUSAI!"

Sai held his tanto in front of him defensively. At first Sakura was confused by his action when she realised that her chakra was shaped into multiple spears that threaten to hit Sai. The pinkette took a deep breath before focusing her chakra to disappear. Sai put down his tanto and looked at his companion sharply. Sakura ignored his look and continue walking away.

"Don't come to me like that ever again."

Akatsuki hideout,1300 hours

A blue haired woman walk stealthily along the hallway. Her black and red robe swaying slightly as she walked. She came to a halt in front of a grey door. Knocking the door calmly as her face kept a serious and professional expression.

A man with long black hair which was put in a pony-tail opened the door,his eyes bore into hers without much emotion. Said woman entered the room glancing at the two other occupants in the room.

"Itachi,you along with Kisame and Sasuke have a new mission. I want you to go to Konoha. Keep an eye on the kyuubi jinchuuriki. Don't make any rash moves. Just watch him. The details are on this file. "

The blunette handed a brown file at the elder ravenette. She eyed the three nuke-nins one last time before leaving the room.
