In Konoha
Tsunade sat at her desk, drunk, with sake bottles littering the floor of the Hokage's office. It was 2:30 in the afternoon, exactly the time when Tsunade got out the booze, but also the time Shizune came in to take away Tsunade's precious sake and nag at the Godaime for not doing her work. But not today.
While Tsunade lay, utterly wasted on the desk, Shizune had collapsed on the couch after she too had consumed too much alcohol. Why?
The reason was that, after 5 days of vanishing, the blonde haired blob of sunshine was still AWOL.
There was much celebration in Konoha at first, when the vile villagers found out that Naruto had left, but after them hearing the details of Naruto's departure, they too felt guilty. Who were they if anything BUT the monsters? It seemed Konoha had lost its light
FLASHBACK
"Tsunade-sama?" Shizune called, entering the Hokage's office, soon followed by Sasuke and Sakura, who looked pleased with herself. Before anyone had said anything, the pink haired girl stepped forward, and addressed the Hokage.
"Well Tsunade-shishou, I think you will be pleased to know that the MONSTER has left Konoha."
Tsunade looked perplexed.
"Monster…..what are you talking about Sakura?"
The pinkie grinned and snatched the farewell note in Sasuke's hand, tossing it to Tsunade.
A moment of silence passed after the blonde had read the note.
"This-this……?"
"Yes sensei! Thanks to me and Sasuke-kun, the monster has FINALLY left the village! No need to thank me, just doing my duty as a Kunoichi!" The room was filled with a blast of intense killer intent but before Tsunade had the chance to so much as raise a hand against Sakura, Shizune struck.
The girl smashed through 3 solid walls before collapsing in a pile of rubble. Shizune stood there snarling while Tsunade smiled.
Her punches are getting better.
END FLASHBACK

A pink haired blob could be seen trailing her way through Konoha's busy crowds.
HOW DARE THEY!?I am Haruno Sakura! How can they talk to me that way! And not to mention that Tsunade dropped me as an apprentice, AND took the Hyuuga whore and Ino pig, (look who's talking)
FLASHBACK
Sakura walked up slowly towards the Hokage's office. She had been called early this morning because Tsunade had said she needed to tell the pinkette something important.
"Tsunade-sensei?" The girl peeked through the door to see Tsunade talking to two other people.
The girl stepped in uninvited.
"Ah Sakura?" Tsunade looked up, an unfamiliar glint in her honey eyes. Beside her stood Hinata and Ino, both looking rather smug.
Sakura sneered at them with contempt, as if to say 'look who's my sensei!' The girls ignored the look and smiled politely.
"Well Haruno, due to recent occurrences I have been forced to drop you as a student," Tsunade dead-panned.
"EXCUSE ME?!" the pink thing thundered.
"Oh you are excused," the usually quiet Hinata replied. The pinkie's eyes narrowed.
"Oh and who are you to insult me, Hyuuga?" Sakura sneered and this time it was Ino answered.
"We are the new apprentices of Tsunade-sama,"
Sakura frowned, "Tsunade-sensei, why are they talking such rubbish? I am your apprentice!"
Tsunade smirked, "You were," the Hokage glared at her, "all the recent activities have shown me that you are nothing but a useless, incompetent, self-obsessed thing!"
Sakura suddenly laughed, "Oh that's it! You are dropping me because I helped get rid of a monster! Well that is what Naruto is! I disgusting, stupid-"
Hinata stepped forward, a snarl marring her pretty face, "I dare you to finish that sentence! Naruto is NOT a MONSTER! He is a beautiful and kind-hearted person who has spent his life treated miserably for something he didn't do! And if you can call someone like that a monster, I suggest you take a look in the mirror AMA! (1)"
Ino nodded and held back Hinata, though she wanted to help the once timid girl shred Sakura.
Sakura laughed with contempt, "Really Ino! You helped chase away the monster! Remember?"
Ino snarled, "At least I have the decency to feel guilty! Besides it wasn't like I was told! You however knew what was between them!!"
Sakura grinned, and flicked her hair over her shoulder, "Whatever!" She turned on her heel and left, leaving behind three seething woman.
END FLASHBACK
The pink haired menace frowned at the memory.
Oh well! I will always be a better ninja than EITHER of them!
The girl smiled and ran off into the forest to find HER Sasuke-kun.

Somewhere on the outskirts of Konoha, near the training grounds, walked a saddened dolphin. Genma walked hand-in-hand with his lover as Iruka sobbed helplessly.
"I can't believe he left!! Why? Why? Why?" Genma hugged his dolphin and mused silently.
"Dolphin you know what that brat was doing behind his back. Of course he would have left, would you have been able to put up with seeing the man you loved in another's arms?"
Iruka's sobbing stopped.
"You right, I just hope he is happy out there, wherever he is."

The pair wandered back into the market place, soon spotting some of Naruto's real friends. Hinata and Kiba walked hand in hand, like a true couple in love, often gazing at each other lovingly when the other wasn't looking.
Shikamaru and Temari were bickering like a married couple, which would be true in a few more weeks and Lee was running about behind them as TenTen laughed at the antics of her boyfriend.
To Iruka's surprise, he also saw Neji and Gaara walking together, ignoring the bewildered glances thrown at them.
Well, love can be found in the strangest places, Iruka mused.
Ino was there too; she was once again accepted amongst her friends after she explained the details of what had happened. Chouji was with her too and they walked together, Ino laughing at him teasingly.
Sai was also there, strangely enough, trailing slightly behind them, his fake smile perfectly in place.
Iruka smiled and waved at his former students, their lovers and the ROOT member who waved back. Soon the large group moved together, attempting to find a place to have dinner.
Then they seemingly walked in the two elder council members and the Haruno family who were having dinner with Sasuke. They heard voices speaking angrily in hushed tones.
"You will marry Sakura!" Homura exclaimed, standing from the table where she was previously seated.
"Now that the demon has gone and we have found you with the girl, you have to marry her; don't be a disgrace like your brother."
Sasuke fell into the trap.
"Fine," he spat as the restaurant was filled with a loud screeching. Sakura bounced up and down with joy, disgusting all the onlookers while Mr and Mrs Haruno sat there looking very smug.
Naruto's real friends passed them coolly, not sparing them a glance. Sakura, upon seeing them and not realising that they were obviously not going to speak to her, rushed up to them, shrieking in their faces.
"Sakura-san, what exactly are you saying?" Sai asked politely.
"Oh, oh, oh, ME AND SASUKE ARE GETTING MARRIED! Now that the ugly monster has left we can be together FOREVER!" She smiled happily. (GAG Oh great she's happy!)
The room suddenly filled with incredible killer intent at the mention of 'monster'. All of Naruto's friends glared, twitching angrily. Except Sai. The raven stepped forward grinning, before bringing up his fist and punching Sakura thoroughly, sending her sprawling.
The rest of the group advanced on her as the pinkette looked around for help. Unfortunately for her, parents had left with the council members to organize the wedding and her future fiancé, not giving a shit about her, had walked off.
Suddenly Iruka spoke, "Leave her alone."
Every one turned to gape at the dolphin. Sakura stood up and dusted off.
"Thanks Iruka-sensei! I knew you saw the monster too!"
Sakura then found herself pinned against the wall, the usually gentle Chuunin grasping her neck. The killer intent had tripled.
"Stupid bitch! Naruto, a monster? That's a joke! Have you looked in a mirror recently? No wait that's right you can't! Because every time you look at one it cracks!"
Sakura whimpered, why is Iruka sensei saying such mean things? (A/N 'cause they're true)
Iruka snarled at the girl, muttering things that made their ancestors turn in their graves though no one made any attempt to stop him. They all knew what she had done, Ino had too, but the poor blonde didn't know about the lovers and even so, at least she had the dignity to feel shitty about it.
"Listen here AMA! We don't like you! You played a part in hurting someone we all love! One of the only people who gave a fuck about you. We all HATE you, so don't fucking come near us, unless you have a death wish-"
"IRUKA!" the two council members came in, soon followed by Tsunade and Shizune.
"IRUKA UNHAND MRS UCHIHA!" Koharu howled, causing the Chuunin to loosen his grasp and face them. He chuckled, but it was not the type of joy filled laughter he usually used, no, his voice was filled with scorn.
"Is that what you're calling the whore now?" Iruka asked angrily as tears sprang to his eyes and cascaded down his face.
"Naruto was nothing less than Konoha's sunshine! He made so many people happy, asking of nothing for himself! Have ANY of you seen his apartment? Have you seen the way he lives? AND JUST WHEN HE FUCKING FINDS SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT HIS LIFE THAT FUCKED UP BITCH AND YOUR OH-SO-PRECIOUS UCHIHA HAS TO SCREW THAT OVER FOR HIM TOO!" Iruka collapsed onto the floor and was gathered up in the arms of his lover. Genma threw a dirty look at Sakura, who was now looking coolly at the collapsed Chuunin.
"Really Iruka sensei, you really should compose yourself!"
Gaara then lost control, not being able to deal with the pinkette's antics. His sand escaped his gourd and wrapped around the pink haired menace, dangling her body in the air.
Homura shrieked loudly, "Kazekage-sama please put down Haruno-san!" Gaara ignored them and tossed the pinkette through the wall, letting her drop onto the floor with a crunch. Everyone remained silent, not sure how to react, though most people were hiding smirks.
Tsunade took this moment to make an announcement.
"Hey! Listen up, I have something to say!" the crowd turned to face Godaime. "Okay I have decided to step down from my position as Hokage," the council members chuckled evilly.
"So we can have Sasuke-kun step up as Hokage?"
Tsunade snorted, "You wish, Naruto will be my successor but as the gaki isn't here, I am having Shizune watch over my duties for me! Got that you old coots? Shizune's in charge!"
Most of the people grinned at the blatant show of disregard to the council members and made a fuss of congratulating a blushing Shizune.
Suddenly Mrs Haruno came running in, followed by her husband. Her eyes travelled from Sakura to Iruka before shrieking, "You bastard what did you do to my daughter?"
The dolphin sat up from Genma's arms saying, "Ah shut up you old hag and go screw yourself!" before stalking out, leaving everyone gaping as Genma hurried after his lover.
Wow, dolphin is full of surprises today.

Hey Guys!! Did you like chapter 3?
Also to all those awesome people who voted in the last chapter, Naruto's secret occupation will be a musician. But thanks to all those sad faces who wanted the model and dancer, I will have some photo shoots in it and a dance scene.
The question is what type of dance scene?
- Night Club
- Prom
- Party
Personally I would like to chose the party so the bastards in the story will be able to stare at Naruto's awesome, (and arousing) dancing skills!
Also please comment on the following:
After his parent's assassination, Naruto was left to live alone, ridiculed at his high school. But how will he react when a mysterious couple show up, claiming that Naruto is betrothed to their son.
What do you think? The choices are:
- ItaNaru, (Dark and mysterious, with the bright and bubbly!)
- KyuuNaru, (RED HEAD + BLONDE nose bleed)
- KyuuItaNaru, (SO HOTT!)
- GaaShikaNaru, (LOVE THIS THREESOME!)
Please comment it makes me feel special! And makes me want to write more! Also I apologize in advance that the next chapter will be a bit late.
LOVE TURQUOISE AND RAVEN!
