Chapter 3: Broken Promise
Sakura awoke to a spiky brown haired ninja standing over her, with eyes of concern. "Are you ok?" he asks. And Sakura finds herself rambling that Sasuke has left Konoha to the ninja, who then reports the matter to Tsunade, the 5th.
That afternoon, Naruto, Shikamaru, Chouji, Kiiba, and Neji meet at the gate of Konoha with a very special mission; to get back Sasuke. As they figure out how they are going to plan their mission they come up with many ideas, and as soon as they are about to leave Sakura comes up from behind them.
"Wait!" Sakura yells.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto exclaims.
"I heard the story from the Hokage. Sorry, but I can't take you on the mission." Shikamaru said, "Even you couldn't convince Sasuke right?"
Naruto became surprised and Shikamaru continues, "Seems like we gotta force him to understand, Sakura your job is done."
"What… Sakura-chan. You already met with Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed.
Tears swelled from her eyes and she began to sob. "Naruto! I beg you! Please…Please bring Sasuke-kun back." Naruto stared at her but she continued, "I couldn't do it… I couldn't stop him! The only person... who can probably save Sasuke-kun now is you… Naruto. Only you..."
Naruto became sad, but quickly recovered with a smile, "Sakura-chan, you really like Sasuke, huh? I know how much pain you're in because of Sasuke. I can understand."
Sakura looked at Naruto and just wants to squeeze him for being understanding but then breaks into tears again, "Naruto… Doomo arigatoo gozaimasu."
"Don't worry! I'll bring him back! That's a promise of a lifetime!
And with that, Sakura saw the group leave on their mission to retrieve Sasuke.
I Know, it was short, but all the other chapters make up for it --'
