A/N: I'm glad that it is summer now and that I can write more often. I'm also hoping to really get into this story and complete it with a good story line and great Reivew's.

Disclaimer: If I did own Naruto there would be loads of inappropriate scene's, and then Disney would have no choice but to sell "Naruto" back to the original company. Then all will be well... and I'd keep the inappropriate stuff too. ;)

"Possibilities"

Chapter 2

"Strength"

"I don't think you know the meaning of hate? It's what happens after you try and play the blame game, and do you know what game that is, oh floresent boy? Hu, do ya," growling and clamping Naruto's hair in her tightly wound fist Sakura snarled. "It's the game when you try to blame other's for the things you did."

Naruto whimpered as the hand lodged deeply in his bush of wildly spiked hair was pulled drastically, but not pulled far enough away from his head for any hairs to be yanked out in large amounts. The ropes that were tied tightly around their wrists impailed them both while they hung in mid air attached to the same tree. Naruto, attepted to will his body to slice through the ropes that held him, as Sakura, pulled his head back against the bark of the tree.

They were both tied to opposite sides of the tree, but in Sakura's anger she had shimmed her way over far enough to grasp at the blonds full head of hair that was decreasing in blond strands rapidly.

"Why else would Kakashi knock us out when you messed up during our attept to flee, that just so happened to destroy my living room." Pressed Sakura, straining each word, "and then tie us up a hundred miles up a goddamn tree, together, of all things, just because you stole his stupid book-"

"-Even-"

"-Even though it is April Fools Day." Naruto sighed defeted. Sakura's hand slakened while Naruto's head welcomed the release of the girls claws. She sighed, closing her eyes to calm herself as she slowly cracked through the shadow of her lashes, the view was beautiful. A vast landscape laid out full of high tree tops and among the rolling hills farther out held the Konoha meadows which were lush and full of life untouched by the weapons of ninja's and the patter of running feet during a battle. Tsunade and Sakura used to visit during the summer to gather herbs for her training, and she had never forgotten the breath taking sight. Patting the blonds head comfortingly Sakura giggled, "don't worry about it Naurto. Next time, we'll do it together!"

Naruto's eyes crinkled as a large smile appeared on his face, yelling out to the world, "believe it!"

A few birds shook in the nearby trees, laughing at the two as they flew past.

"You know, there's a really great view from up here. Although Tsunade is not going to be to happy when I don't show up for training on time." Sakura could almost see that look of impatience disolving into a small grin as she described her morning adventures to her teacher.

"Didn't the Old lady Tsunade say something about aborting Luma Bates?" Sakura's eyes largened at Naruto's massage, "or was it reporting to the gates? Hmm."

Sakura exhailed relaxed then snapped her head back up smacking her head into the tree in the process. "Oh shit," Sakura frantically pulled at the ropes binding her, stopped and placed her hand on Naruto's head, then started to hum strainging her ears to follow steadily along with Naruto's heart beat.

"Hey Sakura-chan what are you doing? Why is it getting so warm?" Sakura continued to hum, concentrating on Naruto's rapidly increasing heart beats as they reverberated in her ears. "Why is your hand glowing, holly shit your hand is glowing!" Breaking free from the bindings Sakura's hum was broke off by the fresh air that seemed to glide over the skin of her face and smoothed over her eye lids as she let her body fall to the ground. Naruto's insesive screaming caused her to look across from her, roll her eyes, and latch onto the nearest tree brantch and swing over to grab the blonds orange jacket flinging him back up onto the sturdy branch beside her.

Naruto gasped fisting his hair then winced before delcatly massaging his scalp, "why didn't you just do that before."

"You're full of questions today aren't you?" Asked Sakura placing her hands on her hips, titing her head to study her blond friend.

Naruto scratched the back of his head, grinning with a large set of teeth and chuckled a bit, "am I?"

"Yeah, you kind of are."

OO=O=OO

The clicking of Tsunade's nails against the wooden post was enough to drive the silent Naruto over the edge. After meeting up with the Hokage at Konoha's enterence, both Naruto and Sakura appoligized while Tsunade continued to stare and sent Sakura off to gather her equipment. Naruto was left behind with the Hokage as she waited rather impatiently glaring off into the distance. Naruto mustered up enough couage to shuffle one of his feet to the left, and in return recieved a flying pencil to the face from the angered Hokage. She turned back to stare into the distance as Naruto huffed fighiting with the dirt beneath his shoe. The pencil that had rolled to the ground now sat burried beneath the piles of dry dirt that Naruto had stirred up.

Konoha's enterence was quite and the greeting box off to the side to the gates were empty as the Hokage leaned her weight against the posts sticking under the protection of the shade. Pearing up, the sky was empty as well. No clouds could have been seen among the blazzing heat of the sun and the dry taste of the air. A trickle of sweat rolled down Naruto's neck as he concentrated on the shifting wind to whip past his neck. He exhailed at the feel of a chillier breeze than usual, relishing in the moments of bliss that were inturupted by Sakura's voice.

"I'm ready." Naruto watched as Tsunade nodded at the pink haired girl, guesturing towards the gates of Konoha. Sakura nodded back taking step by step out towards the wild and away from the confinds of the village.

OO=O=OO

"Sakura-chan, where are you going?" Naruto ran over beside Sakura as she kept a steady walking pace stopping as Naruto stood beside her.

Tightening her hold on the left strap of her backpack, Sakura looked up from the ground into Naruto's concerned filled eyed. She slid her eyes up to the tree tops to avoid the questioning glance of her friend.

"I'll be back soon," the lightened tone of her voice was still burdened by the chokeing clump of guilt that sat in her throat.

Her eyes searched Naruto's refreshing orbs that started to dim as they stared back at her, "you're going on a mission."

"Yeah, " the hesitation in Sakura's voice was clear to both of the ninja's. "Just for a few days."

Suddenly pulling Sakura into a hug Naruto leaned back to stare at the small kunoichi in front of him. "Be safe," Sakura couldn't stop the smile rising to her lips. "I'll buy the ramen when you get back," bubbled Naruto, yanking the girl forwards in a crushing hug, Sakura laughed.

"I'll keep you to that," Sakura leared smirking at the blond. "As long as you promise not to eat mine while you're waiting."

Naruto held up his left hand proudly and grinned, glowing with the light that reflected off his yellow shirt. "I promise."

"And make sure you get back at Kakashi for me, ne?" Naruto nodded.

"Naruto!" Tsunade voice echoed loudly.

Naruto flicked his head over as he made a face and Sakura listened to the enraged snarl of the Hokage, "I have to go, Naruto."

"Goodluck, Sakura-chan," thrusting out his hand out, Sakura took it within her own and shook it. "See you soon," Naruto walked passed her grabbing her shoulder in a comforting way, Sakura nodded.

"Goodbye Naruto," Sakura sighed. Thinking to herself while the blond walked back into the village Sakura, stared straight ahead.

"I kinda envy your stength, Naruto..."
