A broken promise

A/N: Ok people…I'M back and I'm gonna tell ya now not to get ideas of quick quick updates! Because they wont be that often….ill update when I can! Okay moving on now I wanna say a couple things to my wonderful fans…REVIEW! Lol ok I just wanted to tell everyone to be patient the naru/saku will pass for those faithful naru/ino fans hold on tight, it will come I promise.

Naruto hopped from rooftop to rooftop, his mind going in a hundred different ways. "Damnit Sasuke! I wont lose her because of you! You won't take Sakura from me!" He sped up, his eyes blazing as the memories of their previous encounter raced into him.

FLASHBACK

"Naruto wait a second!" yelled Sakura to the blonde hokage to be. When she reached out a lightly grabbed his arm he turned and looked at her curiously. Only to find her face extremely close to his own.

They stared at one another a moment, blue and green colliding in an eternal dance. Naruto could feel her warm breath on his face, then the impossible happened… she leaned forward and kissed him. It wasn't long and slow. It was rough and quick.. but the message it said at this life changing moment spoke volumes.

As she pulled away she said, "Come back…No matter what." With those words she let go of them and went to help their battered teammates. Team Hebi had been beaten, all that was left was Sasuke.

Naruto then turned to Ino, her eyes wide in surprise. "She…She kissed you!"

Naruto just smiled, but on the inside his heart had just darkened. He would come back to Sakura, no matter what.

END FLASHBACK

Naruto's memories faded, and his eyes flashed red. "Sasuke…I wont let you destroy the thing I cherish most!"

Naruto walked into his house and threw his ANBU mask on the couch only to be tackled onto that very same couch by a pink blur. With a grunt he blinked the stars away to look at his assailant only to find his lovely wife grinning down at him.

"Sakura-chan is it to much to ask that you don't spear me as soon as I walk in the door?" A curt nod was his reply.

"So Naruto-kun…what did Hokage-sama want? Don't tell me you have another mission to go on." Naruto gave a slight chuckle and rubbed the back of his head giving Sakura her answer.

"Damn her!" Was the pink goddess's quick response. After a second Sakura sighed, "There's some food on the stove baby."

"Is it ramen?" was the quick response. Sakura glared at him "No!" was her angered response. He frowned

"But Sakura-chan you know I love ramen." He complained like a small child.

The pink haired woman stuck out her lower lip in mock sadness. "But Naruto-kun, don't you like my other cooking?"

Naruto nodded that he did like his wives cooking and removed her from him to go eat. Sakura close behind, as he got his food she sat the table. "So Naruto-kun what did Tsunade-sensei want?"

The demon containers breath caught in his throat at the question, but after a second he recovered as the way he could get out of answering became apparent.

"I got a mission, I leave in a week." was his vague response, but his wife pouted anyway at the thought of her husband leaving her once again.

"What's the mission?" Naruto instantly cringed. Must she ask so many questions!

"Ino and I have to hunt down a missing nin." Sakura scoffed at the name of her blonde rival.

"Naruto, why did you have to partner with the pig again? I'm still lost as to the why you would want too?" Naruto smiled at the reference to Ino's nickname.

"Because she and I are the best team in this village. Why Sakura, jealous?" Her features darkened, "Why would I be jealous Baka-kun?" Naruto's eye twitched and he turned and set his plate on the table.

"Don't call me that Sakura-chan." He pouted, and that was it.

"Baka-kun, Baka-kun, Baka-kun, Baka-kun!" She began to yell out.

"That's it!" Naruto said loud and playfully, with that Sakura was gone a slight 'eep!' of excitement, Naruto was right behind her, chasing her through the house at high speeds.

Naruto smiled as he ran down the hallway, hot on the beautiful tail-end of his wife, she ran trough the threshold of their room, but before she could shut the door, he was through. She backed away from him slowly giggling lightly.

"I got you now Sakura-chan." She just shook her head in the negative at his lighthearted statement.

"No you don't Naruto-kun, I always have my final attack." He arched a blonde eyebrow so she continued.

"You know….my kiss you no jutsu." Naruto smiled and found that he was the one shaking his head in the negative.

"Nope. Sorry Sakura-chan but that won't save you from me this time."

"Oh really?" She walked towards him in sudden courage and lip locked him, the poor guy practically melted.

When she pulled away a breathless Naruto spoke quietly, "Alright Sakura-chan…you win." He stood still allowing himself to get his breath before finishing with.

"But what you don't know is I'm not done with you yet Mrs. Uzumaki!" Sakura smiled as she was pushed backwards onto the bed.

Ino walked into her lonely apartment, no one in particular there to greet her. As she walked in she brushed her hand across the picture that she had taken of Naruto and Sasuke before the Uchiha had left them. In the small picture the two pre-teens were about to spar. Looking at the picture brought back the memories of that day.

flashback

Red and red stared off, eyes both as red and crimson as blood.

Ino lay up against a large boulder defeated. All she was able to do was watch the battle of arguably the two most powerful shinobi in the world throw down.

Naruto had long fangs and claws unlike any she had ever seen on a person, he looked utterly feral. What set this appearance the most was the presence of three chakra tails waving back and forth with minds of the own.

Sasuke had his level two curse mark active, his giant hand like wings folded so they were close to his body, his mangekyo sharingan active, glaring daggers at the jinchurikki.

end flashback

Ino was startled out of her reverie by a lazy knock on her door. The blonde bomb shell let out an aggravated sigh and stomped back over to her door. She forcefully swung open the wooden portal and glared at whoever had the nerve to disturb her thoughts.

Who she found was none other then Shikamaru. The lazy jounin stood on her porch hands in his pockets staring at her without a care in the world, Ino rolled her eyes.

"What the hell do you want Shika-kun I have a mission to plan for! Since a freakin Baka is too busy getting busy with his wife!" She yelled, he grimaced and sighed a 'troublesome' escaping his lips.

Ino sighed, her stress going out. "I'm sorry Shika, I'm just kinda tired. What do you want anyway?" She asked much more nicely this time.

"I'm bored. There aren't any clouds out today…wanna hangout?" She smiled and nodded.

"Okay Shika but if you take me out to look-" She was interrupted by his raised hand.

"Ino I already told you there aren't any clouds out today."

Ino brightened even more. Could Shikamaru finally be wanting to go on a date with her? Had she finally distracted him from Temari long enough for him to ask her out? A girl could only hope!

"Alright Shika-kun, come on in while I get changed!" She spun around her door wide open and practically sprinted to her bedroom and opened her closet after securely locking her door, not that she thought Shika was a peeper but still… boys were boys.

"Shika-kun…How nice should I dress?" She smiled when she heard him mumbling loudly before he actually spoke.

"I don't care, so troublesome." Ino sighed and threw on some clothes, nothing special since Shikamaru didn't seem to care either way.

She walked out of her room fully dressed and ready for the date. She noticed Shikamaru's brief gaze on her before she walked over with a happy 'lets go' and opened the door. Only to hear a third voice.

"You two finally ready to go?" Ino's head fell in sadness and she looked down the porch stairs to see Choji, the chubby ninja waving happily to her. She quickly put a smile on and waved back.

This would be a long day for her.

--

Sakura panted softly as she laid her head on her husbands chest. "Naruto-kun please no more, I'm exhausted baby." she said quietly, not fully recovered as of yet.

Naruto gave the woman his biggest smile, "Sorry honey, but I thought you knew that I cant get enough of you."

The pink hair girl smiled and kissed him. "I know Baka-kun, I can't get enough of you either. Unfortunately for us both I don't have quiet the stamina you have my love." Naruto nodded before his eyes widened as he appeared to have remembered something.

"Sakura what time is it?" The woman raised her head and looked at the clock on the bedside table.

"I'ts three, why?" Naruto gave a heavy sigh.

"I'm late baby, I was supposed to meet Kakashi-sensei and Yamato-sensei at the old training grounds."

Sakura whimpered like a lost puppy and held onto Naruto tighter, "But Naruto-kun I want you here with me!" He shook his head in a negative and pryed himself from the super human grip.

"Well fine then but I'm coming to watch!" She finished and got up with him.

--

Naruto and Sakura walked side by side onto the training ground.

"It doesn't look like anyone's here Naruto" She said as she looked around searching for the two sensei's. Naruto's eyes narrowed as he concentrated, then a smirk came to his face.

"Yes they are…go on Sakura get to the tree line, this is about to start."

"Mmmmk Naruto-kun, do good I'm rooting for you!" He nodded and disappeared only to reappear several hundred yards away in the center of the field.

Sakura could tell Naruto's eyes were closed…his concentration heavy, seconds passed before a large blast happened right at the spot where Naruto was standing.

Sakura gasped as she stared in the direction of where the large cloud of dust had formed. As it slowly cleared, three figures could be seen. When it was all gone she saw Naruto standing there, arms outstretched on both sides and a fist in each hand. The two jounin could be seen on both sides of him. The least surprising thing was that Naruto was grinning like an idiot.

The two Jounin sensei's eased there attack and stood up straight, Naruto looked at them both smiling. "Damn, you guys are jumping right to it today!" They both nodded there expressions deathly serious. Then all three vanished.

Sakura smiled, "He may be a baka, but he is the most powerful baka ever." She said quietly.

--

Naruto wiped the small trickle of blood from his chin. "You both are really giving it your all today."

"We heard about your mission from Hokage-sama, Naruto. Neither of think your ready to take on Sasuke." Kakashi said to the blonde shinobi. Naruto snorted and memories assailed him

flashback

There he lay, his best friend, brother, and rival. Sasuke was all of these to Naruto, but he was also the only think that ever came between him and Sakura.

"Why do you always do this Sasuke?! Why have you always made things so hard on me!?" He closed his eyes and clenched his fist in anger, "Why the hell do you always make me feel like this?!" He bent down and lifted Sasuke up by his tattered shirt.

"You always made me so angry, then at the exact same time I would be so happy. Not anymore though because from now on you mean nothing to me!" Sasuke slowly opened his eyes again and smirked.

"You think I care how you feel about me Dobe?" Naruto growled at his smug remark and slammed him into the nearest rock face. Sasuke grunted and was once again unconscious.

end flashback

Naruto smiled finally when both Jounin stopped to assess his chances against the Uchiha. "Then maybe I haven't tried hard enough in our little spars." Both Jounins heads lowered and they got in there chosen stances, preparing from the coming assault.

Naruto disappeared, a perfect definition of speed, only to reappear in front of Yamato. He grabbed the wood users head with both hands and brought his head down with as much strength as he could, at the same time his knee came up. There was a loud crack as knee and face connected.

As soon they did Naruto let go and spun a hundred and eighty degrees ducking as he did, right under the punch of Kakashi. However, he was quickly met with a kick from the said person. Though he was able to block some of the attack he still took the brunt of it and was knocked fifteen feet back.

As he flew through the air he turned himself and landed on his feet. Then as he looked up he cursed at the sight of wood flying at him, Yamato's attack. He flashed through some hand signs and yelled. "AIR DESTRUCTION JUTSU!" As he said it, the air around him began spinning in thousands of different directions so that as soon as the wood made contact it was turned to splinters. Naruto had made his perfect defense. As the jutsu faded Naruto instantly sensed Kakashi's chakra behind him.

Naruto ducked the inevitable punch and spun in a sweep of the copy nins feet, it was thwarted by the mans jump. As Kakashi went over Naruto, the demon container did a jump of his own. Back flipping out of the way as wood crashed on the spot he had been moments before. As he was flipping he spun and threw shuriken and Kunai in Yamato's direction.

The older ninja blocked most of the projectiles with a Kunai of his own and dodged the rest.

Naruto paused, identifying his opponents position then began to form hand signs before calling out, " WIND OF BLADES JUTSU!" Naruto began making chopping motions with his hands, making air go out in deadly arching blades.

The teacher duo went on a dodging frenzy, and finally jumped completely into the air to get out of the way as Naruto spun three hundred and sixty degrees around sending the wind all around him.

When they landed he instantly went into more hands sign but was stopped when they both raised a hand wanting him to stop.

They walked forward smiling slightly. "Well done Naruto, Kakashi-sempai and I are impressed. To be able to fight us at that level is quiet a feat." Naruto just shrugged as if this was an everyday occurrence.
