Thank you for ALL the reviews. It really keeps me motivated. Hope you like this chapter!sry for the time skips. I couldn't think of anything to write between them. Some people wanted more Naruto. I think I added enough, and please tell me if i didn't. I'll update soon!

One and a half years later.

"I can't believe in one more year, I can return to Konaha!" Naruto exclaimed. Gaara smiled, happy Naruto was happy. They were in the living room area talking.

"I think I'll write a letter to Kakashi. Tell him I can't wait to be back!"

"Don't you want people not to know your here?" Gaara said, wondering how he would do it.

"I think I'll summon Gamakichi and send him to Jiraya and have him give Kakashi the letter.That way, people still won't know where I am...Yeah, I'll do that!" Naruto said, and left for him room, He walked down the long hallway to him room, which was the last door of the left. He sat on his bed, found some ink and paper and started writing.

Dear Kakashi,

It's been a long time, hasn't it? I was thinking on how in one more year I can return and see you,Sakura and everyone else, and decided to write. I summoned Gamakichi so he could give you this letter. I just wanted everyone to know I'm great. Jiraya has come by and taught me a few new jutsus to keep me busy. I've mastered them all. One took me about 5 months to get.

Please tell Sakura and everyone else that I'm sorry I couldn't bring back Sasuke. By now, Orochimaru has taken over his body, and it's all my fault. I feel sad, knowing Sakura loved him. I made a promise to her that I couldn't keep.

I always looked up to Sasuke, hoping that one day, I'd catch up to him and we could be equals. I always thought of him as my older brother, seeing how we were good friends at one point, and how he was 4 months older than me. I have no brother now, and that brings tears to my eyes.

Tell everyone I miss them and can't wait to be back. Also, tell Ero-Sennin that I need a new jutsu to work on. Feel free to write back with Gamakichi.

P.S. Tell Tsunade I said hi, and miss her the most.

Best of Luck,

Uzumaki Naruto

After he signed the letter, he folded the letter, and addressed it to Kakashi-sensei. Then, Naruto bit his finger, hitting the floor yelling, "Kuchiyose no jutsu!" A puff of smoke came, and when the wind cleared it away, a small black and orange toad appeared. Gamakichi stood there, looking at the surroundings. Then he said,

"Hey kid, give me some munchies, and I'll play with you."

"Hey Gamakichi. Could you give this to Jiraya for me? Tell him that I would like him to give it to the man addressed on the letter. Can you do that?" Naruto said,and handed him the letter.

"Sure thing." The toad said and "poofed" away after Naruto said his thanks. He layed down on his bed, waiting for one more year, till he could return to his friends.

In Konaha

Kakashi, Sakura and Sasuke were training of their training ground. Kakashi was now hiding someplace. Sakura looked left...right...up...and behind. No sign of him. The terrain they were on was about to get really messy. "Then that only leaves...Below!!" Sakura yelled, as she took he left fist, and hit the ground. The ground trembled, then finally broke. Kakashi was there, with eyes wide open, ' He strength always surprises me.' He thought.

"Kakashi-Sensei?" Sakura said

"Hm?" He said.

"I found you." She said, smirking, just like Sasuke did. It was like she learned it from him. Speaking of Sasuke, he looked at her with the same eyes Kakashi had. Her power surprised him the most. This was the first time he's seen her use that to the fullest of its power. He found his voice and yelled, about 10 feet away, "Nice work, Sakura!" He was so far away, cause when the ground split, he didn't exactly want to fall in. Sakura smiled.

Just then, Jiraya appeared, with something rectangular in his hands.

"Jiraya-sama, what are you doing here?" Sakura said.

"Well, I have a letter here for a..." He looked at the letter, getting conformation. "...Kakashi-sensei." He emphasized the -sensi part.

"You mean?" Sakura asked.

"I don'y know, ask Kakashi." Jiraya gave him the letter. Kakashi took the letter and opened it. Sasuke and Sakura walked over closer to him, too see who it was from. He read it once to himself, then read it out loud.

"Dear Kakashi-sensei, Its been a long time hasn't it? I was thinking how in one more year, I'll be able to see you Sakura and everyone else." Kakashi read, as Sakura listened intently.

"I summoned Gamakichi so he could give you this." Jiraya was surprised that Naruto had found out away to communicate with people, without revealing his location. He smiled at his student.

"I just want to let everyone know I'm great! Jiraya has come by and taught me a few jutsus that I've mastered." Kakashi stopped reading as everyone looked at Jiraya. He was still smiling, untill he noticed Kakshi had stopped reading. He had to defend himself.

"I can't tell you. He says he wants to stay hidden." Kakashi nodded, and continued.

"The last one took me about 5 months to get." Kakashi stopped again and looked at Sasuke. Sasuke just stood there, untill Kakashi said, "You might want to listen to this part closely, Sasuke." Sasuke put his head up, and waited for Kakashi to continue.

"Please tell Sakura and everyone else I'm sorry I couldn't bring back Sasuke. By now, Orochimaru has taken over his body, and its all my fault." Kakashi paused, to see Sasuke's reaction. Sasuke, had his head down. He looked like he was sad for a minute.

"I feel sad, knowing that Sakura loved him. I made a promise to her, that I couldn't keep." Sakura started to cry. She fell on her knees and cried to her hands.

"I always looked up to Sasuke, hoping that one day, I'd catch up to him and we could be equals.I always thought of him as my older brother, seeing how we were good friends at one point, and he was 4 months older than me. I have no brother now, and that brings tears to my eyes." Kakashi paused again. Sasuke still had his head down. Guilt, that was what showed on his face.

"Tell everyone I miss them, and can't wait to come back. Also, tell Ero-Sennin that I need a new jutsu to work on." Jiraya smiled, while Kakashi Sakura and Sasuke laughed.

"Feel free to write back with Gamakichi. Best of Luck, Uzumaki Naruto." He finished what he was going to read to them, and folded the letter back and put it in his pocket.

"Well, I have a letter to write, and a greeting to give. If you guys would like to write him, just give it to me or 'Ero-Sennin'" Kakashi said, calling Jiraya by Naruto's nickname.

"Hey! Only Naruto can call me that!" Jiraya yelled.

"Heh heh, okay. Training for today is over. Bye!" And with that, the Jounin left. Jiraya also left, leaving Sakura and Sasuke by themselves. Sasuke walked over to where Sakura was. She was still crying. He knelt down next to her, and put a hand on her back.

"Are you going to write him, Sakura?" Sasuke said. She nodded and got up. "Will you write, Sasuke?" He didn't actually know. He would think about, was what he told her. Sasuke thought to himself, 'After all this time, and what i did to him, he still thinks of my as his brother. I guess me and Sakura were the siblings he never had.' Sakura left to go to her house. Once she got there, she took out some paper and ink, and wrote her letter.

Hokages office

"You mean to say that Naruto was wrote to you?" Tsunade said, after hearing the"hellp" Kakshi had givin her from Naruto.

"Yes, here read for yourself." Kakashi gave her the letter. She took it, and read. She actually had to read it twice, just to believe it was from him.

"Do you know where he is?" Tsunade was thinking of writing him a letter.

"No, but Jiraya does, as you can tell. Naruto said that I should give the letter to Gamakichi, which I'm guessing is one of their summons of toads. You'd have to giv the letter to him." Kakashi explained.

"Oh, well then, I have a letter to write. Excuse me...and Thank you." Tsunade said.

"Yes lady Hokage." Kakashi said, and disappeared. '

Kakashi's Apartment.

Sitting alone in his apartment, Kakashi sat down and took out the necessary supplies to write his letter. After he finished it, he put it in his pocket to give to Jiraya tomorrow.

Uchiha Household

Sasuke sat on his bed, thinking what he would write Naruto. He decided to write him, just to tell him he wasn't dead. 'I can't believe I almost killed him' He thought. Sasuke thought of many ways to address his letter. Finally, he sat down and wrote his letter. He didn't make it long, because he wasn't the type to write a heart felt letter like Sakura would. He folded the letter and waited for tomorrow to come.

Next day

Team 7 met at the training grounds. Jiraya was there to get the letters people had written to Naruto. He had already gotten Tsunades early that morning. Kakashi was first to give him his letter. Then Sakura. What surprised everyone was when Sasuke walked up to Jiraya and handed him a letter. Next, Kakashi gave him one more letter. Jiraya made some hand signs, bit his hand and Summoned Gamakichi.

"Hey Jiraya!" Gamakichi said.

"Hey Gamakichi. These letters are all for Naruto. Could you give him them, when he summons you?" The toad said yes, and put the letters in his little toad jacket. Then, the toad disappeared.
