"Ah, Naruto! Ayame, get one Naruto Special ready!" Teuchi said as Naruto entered his favorite ramen resteraunt. "And what'll it be for you young man?" He said, seeing Kaidensi with Naruto.
"I'll have three Miso Ramens all topped with pork slices and onions please!" Kaidensi said with a grin on his face. Teuchi, Ayame, and Naruto stared wide eyed at the boy. "M-Make that two Naruto specials." Teuchi said to a stunned Ayame.
Naruto looked at the boy and grinned. "I like you already Kaidensi!" He said slapping Kaidensi on the back. Kaidensi rubbed the back of his head and chuckled.
"Holy crap another Naruto!"
Naruto and Kaidensi turned to see Sakura pointing at Kaidensi. "What do you mean Sakura?" Naruto said looking confused. "I mean he does the exact same thing you do. He even orders the same as you!" She said pointing to the three bowls of ramen.
"RAMEN!" Kaidensi and Naruto said. Both starting to devour the bowls at the same time. Sakura sweat dropped and said, "He even eats like you do."
When they were finished Kaidensi turned to Sakura and extended a hand. "Hey there! I'm Kaidensi. I like sleeping, ramen, waching clouds, and more ramen!" Kaidensi said.
Sakura took his hand smiled and said, "Hello. My name's Sakura Haruno. Pleased to meet you." When she said this, Kakashi along with Tsunade walked in. "Well, I see you've met Kaidensi." Kakashi said.
"You know him?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, in fact he will be your new team member."
Naruto turned to Kaidensi who was smiling at Kakashi. "Really? Alright!" Naruto said excitedly, laughing and hugging Kaidensi.
"Yes, but I also have some sad news." Tsunade said looking at Naruto, then at Sakura. "Sakura will be leaving the team for pursuing a carreer in medicine."
Naruto looked at Tsunade, unable to speak. "Oh.." He finally said with his head down. Sakura walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry Naruto. But this is something I feel I have to do. If I get as good as Lady Tsunade, then whenever you come back from a mission I'll be able to heal you no problem." She said smiling at him.
"Yeah.. I guess so.." Naruto said still looking down. "I'm gonna go.. I have some things I need to take care of.. see you around." He said, once outside he began to run away.
"Narut-" Sakura said starting to go after him, only to be stopped by Kakashi.
"Let him sort it out Sakura. He just needs some time."
Sakura looked at Kakashi, then looked toward the directon Naruto ran. "Naruto.."
It turned to night. Naruto was sitting on the top of his father's monument head on the mountain. Laying on his back, his thoughts running away. "Why? Why her too?" He thought, tears begining to form in his eyes. "Why is everyone important taken from me? Pervy Sage... Sasuke... Sarutobi... my parents... Sakura... what did I do to deserve this!?"
He was crying now. Burying his face in his knees, his arms wrapped around them.
"Not everyone kit."
Naruto looked up, tears still running down his face. Kyuubi sat a foot away from him, currled up in a ball. "How did you get here?" Naruto asked, trying but failing to stop his voice from sounding like he was crying.
"I am still in your mind kit. I can come out and roam free, or go back inside your mindscape as much as I wish."
"Nice trick." Naruto said, resting his chin on his knees, looking over the village.
Kyuubi sighed. "Back to my point. You have not lost everyone. There are still people who are with you."
"Like?" Naruto said not looking away from the view.
"Like, Hinata, Kakashi, me, Tsunade, Teuchi, Ayame, Tazuna, Iruka, and Sakura."
"No... Sakura left me..."
"Don't be so foolish kit! She is not gone. Just because sheis not on yor team anymore does not mean she has stopped caring for you. She is doing this to help you Naruto, because she wants to help people that are injured and dieing. She wants to protect people like you do."
Naruto slowly turned to face Kyuubi. "I know fox... but this is different. It wont be team 7 without her and Sasuke.."
Kyuubi sighed. "Very well kit. I shall leave you to your thoughts."
At this Kyuubi vanished back into Naruto's head.
New tears started rolling down Naruto's cheeks. He wanted to get away. Run from what he was going through. Just as he was about to... he felt a hand on his back.
"N-Naruto-kun?" a small but comforting voice said behind him. He turned to see Hinata. He quickly turned away, not wanting her to see him cry.
"What are you doing here?" he asked her.
"I'm here to try a-and help you Naruto-kun.." she said sitting down close to him.
"It's nice of you to try, but not even Pervy Sage could help me right now.." at the mention of his sensei, Naruto's grip on his pants tightened.
Hinata saw this and thought, "He's so hurt... but what can I do? If Jiriah-sama couldn't even help him... then what could I do?" She tried the first thing that came to mind.
Naruto suddenly felt gentle, warm arms wrap around his shoulders. "Naruto-kun, I know you're hurting alot right now... B-But I don't want to see you like this... I love it when you're happy, and it hurts me to see you in so much pain... I just don't know what I can do to make you happy.."
"Hinata..." Naruto said, placing a hand on her arm. "Thank you..."
Naruto looked up at her. Tears still in his eyes, but smiling. "Just you being here for me is all I need to make me happy again."
"Naruto-kun... I.. I love you.." Hinata said blushing madly.
"I know." Naruto said grinning up at her. "I love you too.."
Hinatas eyes shot open. Her face turning new and redder shades of red every second. "Di-Did he j-just say he.. he... l-loves.. me..?"
Naruto saw the stunned look on her face and smiled warmly at her. "I love you... Hinata."
He towards her and kissed her cheek.
On her way down to the ground (she fainted) she said, "Naruto-kun... loves me..." with a smile on her face.
