(Location: Hokage office Hokage tower Konoha fire country territory)

Naruto and Hinata entered the office to send their mission report to the Hokage. They finally finished their mission at the hidden waterfall village and they have finally returned to Konoha. Both ninjas have to sweat dropped when they saw the Rokudaime Kakashi reading one of the volumes of the Itcha Itcha paradise. Naruto sighed he expected that after three years and becoming Hokage his teacher would have change. But looks like he was wrong he has read those books a million times and he still doesn't get tire of reading them, looks like he will never change. Becoming Hokage has done a lot of damage for the mask ninja instead of doing good since he became Hokage he has become more lazy than usual. They notice that he was still reading his porn and he hasn't notice them entering his office until Naruto cleared his throat finally catching his attention.

"You know Kakashi sensei I don't think it will be appropriate for the Hokage to be caught reading that when you have visitors…"

The mask Hokage looked away from his Itcha Itcha treasure staring at the two jounins" it's all right I'm not ashamed or anything besides its only you and Hinata not the members of the council."

"Maybe I should tell them that you're reading porn instead of fulfilling your duties as the Hokage" replied the blond with a grin.

"I'm only taking a break there's no harm in that" Kakashi said as he went back to read his book.

"Um…Kakashi-san shouldn't you be filling paperwork instead of reading that?" asked Hinata with a sweat dropped.

"Well yes but then I got bore doing all the paperwork so I'm now reading one of my favorites volumes."

"Kakashi sensei you're setting a bad example to your people, lazy and a pervert aren't the qualities that make a great Hokage" Naruto said with a frown.

"Think you can do better" the mask ninja raised an eyebrow.

The tall blond smirked" yeah I think I would make a better job than you, I would never be reading porn when I'm on duty."

"No but you would be eating ramen rather than filling the paperwork."

Hinata laughed at his comment" he has you there Naruto-kun."

"Touche" replied Naruto with a grin.

"Well anyway you two got back from your mission faster than I thought."

"Yeah the mission was a piece of cake we rescue Shibuki's daughter and brought her back to the waterfall village safe and sound."

"I'm glad to hear that so Shibuki is doing well?"

"Yup he's been ruling the village like a true leader waterfall has change a lot since the last time we were there."

"Here's the mission report Kakashi-san" Hinata put the mission scroll on the desk.

"Thanks you two did a good job you're dismiss now if you excuse me I have to get back to the paperwork."

"So you change your mind in reading your porn that's good now you're acting like a true Hokage" Naruto grinned.

"I have a responsibility to do and besides I will be giving you free time so you could read the book too."

Naruto blushed at his comment knowing exactly what he was talking about. Of course he not too long ago he started reading his teachers' books and he have come to like them a lot. And to believe he used to think that they were boring when in truth they were very good. Now he has read the whole series while gaining ideas for his perverted fantasies when he was dreaming of a certain pink haired medic nin. He was also reading the books in a way to honor Jiraiya's memory he has also read his first book a couple of times too. The legend of the gutsy ninjas will always be his number one book after the Itcha Itcha series.

Hinata gazed at her boyfriend with a smile although he was a bit of a pervert he was a loveable pervert. Of course she knew of his naughty attitude because of the oral sex and the mutual masturbation, which she had admitted that he was very good at it.

Naruto gave his fox grin ignoring the mask Hokage's comment" well we better get going let's go Hinata-chan!"

Hinata bow to Kakashi before leaving the office with her boyfriend.

'Sometimes it's good to be the Hokage but the paperwork is hell how did sensei and the other Hokages survive this forsaken job?'

He sighed before getting up from his desk gazing at the Hokage monument looking at his mask face' I also have to solve the villagers complaining because they want to see my face in the mountain.'

(Outside of the Hokage tower)

The couple was walking holding hands before Hinata gazed back at her blond boyfriend with a warm smile.

"Naruto-kun I have to go I promise I was going to get together with my team and everyone else, what about you?"

"I guess I'll go and have a bowl of ramen at Ichiraku's you know me I need my daily dose of ramen."

Hinata kissed his lips softly before smiling back at him" then I'll see you later bye!"

"Yeah bye…." the blond jounin smiled before waving at his girlfriend until she was out of sight.

"All right time for some ramen!"

He stared walking the direction towards his favorite eating place before stopping in his tracks. He was in deep thought for some reason he didn't felt like eating ramen right now, he was thinking of something else or rather someone. He smiled there was one place that he wanted to go right now, instead of taking the usual road towards Ichiaraku's. He took the opposite way that will lead to his new destination, which it was the hospital.

(Konoha hospital)

The light up sign of the emergency room went off as it was finished with a current operation. The doors opened revealing a couple of medic nins along with Sakura who pulled some sweat from her brow. It was another tough operation but she has pulled through thanks to the help of her assistants. After three years Kakashi has put her in charge of the hospital staff and so far she has been doing a good job. Her experience and her skills surpassing her own teacher Tsunade have leaded her to earn a great deal of respect from other medic nins. She was truly the best medic in the village and even the five countries she has also saved more lives than Tsunade in all her years.

Sakura smiled at the group of medic nins" everyone thank you we have done another successful operation."

"It's all thanks to you Haruno-san" one medic nin said.

"No it's because all of you were with me let's keep up the great work."

The medics nodded before leaving after one of the nurses went to her" Haruno-san it's almost time for your break."

"Right I'm leaving now!"

Sakura left the halls heading to her office it was another day at the hospital. Tiring yes but worthy, she has come to love being a medic nin thanks to her teacher's beliefs. It wasn't just her temper and personality that had an influence on her but her dedication in her job as a medic nin that motivated her to give a hundred percent in everything. Reaching her office feeling happy that her break has finally come, she wasn't so hungry she just wanted to drink some hot chocolate and take a nice rest. She got seated on her desk while opening her lunch bag. She took her bottle and poured some hot chocolate on her mug. She took a sip while smiling how good it was finally feeling good that she was resting. Suddenly she started thinking of a certain someone, a certain blond ninja.

She smiled thinking about him before she realize it she was thinking one of her sexual fantasies with the tall blond. She and Naruto were watching the beautiful view of Konoha from the top of the Hokage monument. They were both talking and laughing enjoying each others company as usual. Suddenly she took her hand in his smiling at him giving it a couple of gentle squeezes, Naruto touched her cheek admiring her beauty and she bit her lip having the big urge to kiss him senseless. Naruto pulled her closer finally claiming her lips in a passionate heated kiss. Sakura moaned in his mouth at the amazing contact of their lips as she pulled him closer deepening the kiss she wants him badly. Naruto grinned as he broke the kiss and turned her around. She was shocked at his sudden action, until Naruto started fondling her breasts making her moan at the touch.

Naruto opened her white blouse revealing her bindings he also slid his hand through her black skirt along with her panties. Sakura moaned his name in pure pleasure telling him not to stop. Naruto kissed her while he reached his destination which was Sakura's clit. He started rubbing it rapidly making her go wild shouting his name in ecstasy and passion. At the same time Sakura grabbed the large bulge that has formed in Naruto's pants she started rubbing it through the fabric of his clothing. Her actions were only stimulating the huge manhood that was growing behind his pants. Naruto speed up his actions on her clit while shutting her screaming with another tongue kiss, it wasn't long before the pink haired medic reached her orgasm letting loose a large wave of her juices. Her panties were soaked wet while Naruto removed his hands breaking the kiss and licking his fingers soaked with her love nectar.

The sight of her blond love licking her juices turned her on a lot and she got on her knees ready to unzip his pants wanting to taste his cock. Back at the world of reality Sakura has stopped drinking her hot chocolate. She has put the mug on her desk while she was blushing she was in a dreamy state being under the effect of her sexual fantasy. By now she was very wet between her legs and she really had the urge to touch herself, she needed to relief herself after thinking about her fantasy. However before she got the image of her having sex with Naruto a knocked was heard on the door to her office.

"Sakura-chan!"

The pink haired medic nin finally erased her fantasy, she was back in the land of reality. She blushed while her heart skipped a beat gazing at Naruto who was standing at the doorway. She finally composed herself that this wasn't a dream and smiled at the blond jounin whom she secretly loves more than life itself. After three years her feelings for the blond have become so strong that she will just blushed just by looking at him, added the bonus that Naruto has become very handsome at the age of nineteen it only fueled her sexual appetite more. She even added the suffix to his name calling him Naruto-kun not to mention that constant erotic images that she gets being very intimate with the tall blond. She smiled at him her day has gotten a lot better with Naruto here he was finally back from his mission with Hinata.

"Naruto-kun hi!"

"Hey Sakura-chan I hope I'm not interrupting you I know how busy you are."

"It's all right Naruto-kun I am at my break right now you can come in here take a seat!" she was all cherry to have him here.

"Thanks!"

Naruto took a seat next to her desk" how are you Sakura-chan?"

"I'm fine you know how everything is in the hospital a medic nin work never ends, you're back how was your mission with Hinata?"

"Too easy for me but I don't complain at least I visit Shibuki you should see his daughter."

"What Shibuki-san has a daughter I have no idea he had a daughter, then again it's been so long since I've been to waterfall."

"I know we were team seven when we first came to the village to protect Shibuki and back then he was such a coward now he's a true leader and very courageous" Naruto gave his fox grin.

"That's because you changed him Naruto-kun for the better just like everyone else you have met that's your gift" she was still smiling at him' even me' she added mentally.

During the years Sakura has realized all the great things Naruto has done for her. Naruto has changed her into a better person she has come to regret every single thing she has done to him when she was twelve. Every insult every hit everything, she has realized how much she has taken him for granted. After all the selfless sacrifices he has done for her it flatter her and made her feel proud, but at the same time it made her cry. She has also come to regret causing some much deal of pain all because she was selfish, now it's like she was feeling all that pain herself and it was very painful. Now all that it matters to her is the tall blond in front of her and his happiness, his smile was the thing she needed to get her day started.

Naruto scratched the back of his head feeling embarrassed" I don't think it's that much of a deal but anyway everyone at waterfall were happy to see Kaoru-chan back as well as Shibuki, he took us to eat ramen at one of the village restaurants the ramen was good but not better than Ichiraku's…"

Sakura was smiling at him, she was only paying attention to every word he was saying while looking at him with so much affection in her jade eyes.

"So that's it after Hinata-chan and I rescued Shibuki's daughter he invited us to eat at the restaurant then he let us spend the night at one of the village most expensive inns, Shibuki paid for everything" Naruto smiled of course he wasn't going to say a thing about the oral sex session he had with the Hyuga heiress.

"That's very nice of Shibuki-san I guess it's the least he can do after you and Hinata saved his daughter, oh where are my manners Naruto-kun would you like some hot chocolate?"

"Thanks Sakura-chan" the blond replied with a smile.

Sakura took a spare mug from her lunch bag, in truth she always take another mug just in case Naruto visits her like right now and she was happy he took his time to come and see her. She poured the hot chocolate from her bottle offering the mug to her friend.

"Thanks" Naruto said with his fox grin.

Sakura smiled at him and she suppressed her blush, after three years she has realized how cute and adorable his fox grin is and every time he shows her his trade mark grin she will blushed and her heart will skip a beat.

She fixed some of her hair trying to make sure she was attractive enough to the blond jounin, at the same time she push some of her pink hair from her face happily taking her mug" I don't like coffee and the hot chocolate from the machines at the hospital they only add water. So I made my own hot chocolate, so how is it?" she blushed a little expecting his answer.

"It's very good Sakura-chan I really like it!"

"It's no big deal I only add milk instead of water…"

"No it's good because you made it Sakura-chan!" Naruto smiled happily taking another sip of the hot chocolate.

The pink haired medic blushed again she couldn't help it it seems she will just blush at the smallest compliments from her blond friend. She tried erasing the blush but she couldn't, watching Naruto drinking the hot chocolate so happy made her feel so happy. She loves that big smile on his face, that was the kind of smile she would do anything to see and it will give her the strength to continue with her life.

Naruto drank all of the hot chocolate still smiling" mmm…that was great Sakura-chan I wish you could make me hot chocolate like that…"

Sakura blinked in surprise" really you want me to make you hot chocolate?"

"What….I Sakura-chan I didn't meant it like that I was expecting you were going to say no…"

"I don't mind Naruto-kun I can make you some if you want to, you already told me you like the hot chocolate I make" she smiled at him.

Naruto smiled he still couldn't get used of Sakura calling him Naruto-kun. He was happy because after having committed relationships they were still close friends instead their bond has grown even stronger than ever. He was happy as long as she was happy that's how it's always been and how it's going to forever be known very well that he will never have her for himself. But her happiness has always been enough for him to be happy and move on with his life. Even if he has hide those powerful feelings for her deep inside his heart never to let them break free.

"I will make you some of my hot chocolate" Sakura said smiling at him.

"Okay thanks!" he gave his fox grin before stopping to look at his pink haired friend.

"Sakura-chan…"

"Hmm…what is it?"

"Are you okay are you sick?" he was worry.

"No why do you ask?"

"Because you're whole face is red"

Sakura was embarrassed but she thanked Kami that even if Naruto was nineteen he was still as dense as always. Things got worse as the blond jounin put his hand on her forehead trying full of concern.

"Do you have a fever or something?"

"N….no…I…..I'm fine….don't worry…."

"You stuttered are you sure you're okay Sakura-chan?" he was still worried because she was acting like how his girlfriend used to act.

Of course Hinata never told him that she always acted all timid and embarrassed because of her big crush for him.

"Yes Naruto-kun I guess the sun is very hot I guess I have sun born" she smiled while sweat dropping because it was a stupid lie.

"Oh okay….so Sakura-chan I've been wondering I am a hungry and I was thinking if you would like to have some ramen with me….but it's not a date!" he blushed slightly although he wanted her to say yes.

Sakura was disappointed but she didn't show it" sure I guess I am a little hungry but you're paying" she smirked.

"Of course!"

'I feel like I'm going on a date with him….I feel so damn nervous but its only Naruto-kun damn I feel so excited too this is just a get together between friends not a date…'

(Village district)

Hinata, Kiba and Shino were heading to Yakiniku's bbq restaurant. Ino has called everyone because she wanted to tell them something important, it was also going to be a spending time with their friends. The formal members of team eight were now jounin just like everyone else. Shino was still wearing his long hood covering his entire face except his sunglasses and Kiba was wearing a close jounin vest. His dog Akamaru has grown a couple of inches so he was a little bigger that when Kiba was a chunin. The trio entered the restaurant spotting their friends on a grill table. The members of the formal team ten were present along with team Gai.

Shikamaru was wearing his jounin uniform he also had a cigarette on his mouth courtesy of his formal teacher Asuma, he usually started smoking as a way to honor the Sarutobi's memory but now he needed to smoke to help him think. Ino was wearing just her regular outfit only difference she wasn't her usual purple skirt with gray shorts, but long purple pants reaching to her knees. She was next to her boyfriend Chouji wearing a black armor that resemblance his older red armor when he was a chunin, the Akamichi was usual eating the bbq pork on the grill. Of course Ino has given him eating limits which he had to sadly obey them so he didn't mess up his diet.

Next to them was Team Gai all wearing their appropriate jounin clothing, over the years they have done a good job doing their ninja duties as well as protecting their village of course they have also move on in the relationship business. Neji was originally in a arrange marriage to Hinata ordered by his uncle Hiashi, however since Hinata became Naruto's girlfriend he made an exception that his nephew marries his younger cousin Hanabi. He was please that his daughter and future heiress of the clan's main branch were together with the son of the fourth Hokage. As for Tenten the weapons mistress found happiness with her teammate Lee, who would've she would end up falling for the energetic taijutsu master and to think she used to have a crush on Neji.

"Hey guys!" Kiba greeted the rest of the jounins as they got seated on the grill table.

"You guys are on time" Ino said.

"We couldn't resist coming it's been a while since we've been together like this" Hinata replied.

"I agree we've been awfully busy for a while, we've been doing more missions than usual" Tenten said.

"It can't be help were jounins now were probably the busiest jounins in the village right now" Shikamaru said before inhaling the smoke from his cigarette.

"It's because of our training that we have become this dedicated to the village I see nothing wrong with it" Shino said.

"Yosh great training leads to great results that's what Gain sensei always say!" Lee said.

Chouji smiled as he continued to eat the bbq pork on the grill table" I don't mind coming to Yakiniku and eat their delicious bbq so it's fine with me the reason why we got together."

"Chouji sweetie you're reaching your limit" Ino said happily to her boyfriend.

"But Ino I'm not full yet…"

KIba chuckle" if I earn a ryou every time I hear that I'll be very rich."

"Chouji no more eating" this time Ino's tone was strict.

The Akamichi sighed in disappointed before putting down his chopsticks down, looks like his eating freezing has come to an end.

"By the way Kiba I heard about the rumors" Tenten said with a smirk.

"Huh what rumors?" the Inuzuka pretended he didn't know what she was talking about.

"Yeah stop faking we know all about it" Ino said with a smirk.

"Kiba I think everyone in the village already knows" Shikamaru said.

"Looks like they have you Kiba" Shino said while Hinata giggle.

"It seems you can't keep a secret in Konoha" Neji replied with a smirk.

"What rumors I don't know what you guys are talking about?" Lee said.

"I guess I haven't told you yet Lee but Kiba is engage" Tenten said with a grin.

"Oh you're going to get marry Kiba that's wonderful the power of love is so youthful congratulations my friend!"

KIba was blushing in embarrassment he wasn't expecting that they would know the big secret he was keeping from them.

"Kiba-kun I think you should come clean" Hinata said smiling.

The Inuzuka sighed in defeat" fine I wasn't expecting you guys to know, it's true I'm getting marry in a couple of weeks."

"So who's the poor victim?" Ino asked with a smirked while the rest of the group laughed at her comment.

Kiba sweat dropped" funny but anyway if you want to know who's the lucky girl it's Ayame."

The Yamanaka gasped in shock" no way…..Ayame…you can't be talking about the same Ayame that works at Ichiraku's?!"

"Yup that's her" Kiba grinned.

"Well I do feel sorry for her" Tenten replied with a grin.

"Geez I forgot to laugh if it's supposed to be funny" the Inuzuka said with a frown.

"We're just messing with you Kiba don't get cranky" Ino said.

"Congratulations Kiba" Neji said.

"Thanks I'm the luckiest guy in the world!"

"So who's going to be the best man?" asked Shikamaru.

"Do you even have to ask here he is?" Kiba put his hand on Shino's shoulder.

"I'm very honor that you chose me Kiba" replied the Aburame.

"Congratulations Shino" Chouji said.

"Of course you guys are all invited to the wedding the more the merrier" Kiba said smiling' everyone except Sasuke.'

"You bet I'm going I'm not missing this wedding for anything in the world" Ino said.

"Is there any other reason why you guys called us here?" asked Neji.

"I don't know you will have to ask Ino she hasn't told neither of us" Shikamaru said.

"Okay I guess I can tell since you're all here, I know we all have been busy with missions and everything so I decided for tonight to have a get together party at my house."

"That doesn't sound like a bad idea, I mean we've been very busy lately we could use a break" Tenten said.

"Yosh I agree too after doing some hard training and missions we deserve some time off to rest our bodies doing youthful activities!" Lee said.

"Lee I will take that when you mentioned youthful activities is by resting and talking " Neji said.

"Yosh!"

"I will like to go it's a good idea" Hinata said.

"Same with me" Kiba said while Akamaru.

"We should enjoy the time off we have right now" Shino said.

"As long as there's food I'll be there" Chouji said while Ino sighed at his comment.

Shikamaru sighed" why not I've been very myself too this whole work have been troublesome for me I haven't even had any time to play chogi."

Ino smiled seeing that everyone have agree" all right then tonight at my house everyone is invited!"

"Everyone.....does that include Sasuke too?" Neji said in serious tone.

The Yamanaka shrugged her shoulders" yeah I guess…."

"Well then I'm not coming" Kiba said as he got up from the grill table and Akamaru got up too.

"Come on Kiba don't be like that" Tenten said.

"I agree with Kiba there is no need to go if traitors are also invited to the party" Neji said getting up from the table too.

"Oh come on that's enough stop acting like this, you guys don't want to come because Sasuke is invited too but this whole thing I planned it with the purpose that we could spend time together and have fun" Ino said.

"We won't be having any fun if he's coming would we?" asked Kiba.

"I think there's nothing wrong if Sasuke-kun comes to the party he's part of our group" Hinata said defending the Uchiha.

"Hinata you're only taking Sasuke's side because he's Naruto's best friend nothing more" Kiba added.

"I'm also defending him because we can give him a second chance" replied the Hyuga heiress.

"I will have to agree with Hinata, although Sasuke may have started in the wrong path perhaps we can give him another chance to start over the right way. He has been trying to behave for three years and so far he hasn't done anything wrong" Shino said.

"So far…." muttered Kiba.

"Still it doesn't mean we can trust him remember that revenge is the only thing that matters to him, Danzou may be dead but two of the elders are still alive and he could be planning to assassinate both of them risking the safety of the village and its stability" Neji said.

"Um…can we get along?" Chouji asked.

Shikamaru who was still smoking his cigarette sighed gazing at the group" you guys are being so troublesome I understand why you guys are acting like this but maybe Sasuke deserves a second chance. Personally I have nothing against him I know he can't be trusted after everything he has done, however he has proven that he can be a team player in the three years that he has been under close watch by the ANBU. You two should give him a chance who knows the guy could become into one of Konoha's most loyal ninjas in the future."

"This is the same Sasuke were talking about here right?" asked Kiba sounding almost shocked.

"Yes Kiba I'm talking about him if you and Neji don't want to go to Ino's party I understand but I believe you two will be setting a bad example for the rest of us if you refuse to spend time with your comrades because of Sasuke."

"I agree with Shikamaru let's give Sasuke-kun a second chance!" Lee said.

"I can't believe you guys" the Inuzuka said shocked.

"What about you Neji?" asked Shikamaru.

"I won't be stubborn like Kiba perhaps he has learned his lesson but that doesn't mean I will trust him" replied Neji.

"Well at least things aren't so bad thanks to you Shikamaru" Chouji said while putting his arm around his girlfriend shoulder and she giggle at his action.

"Yeah let's just enjoy the party and forget the whole fact that Sasuke is a traitor" Ino said as she snuggled on boyfriends shoulder.

"I'm sure we will have a great time at the party" Hinata said smiling.

"Whatever I want to go to the party but that doesn't mean I have to talk to Sasuke" Kiba said while crossing his arms in annoyance.

"Nobody is asking you to Kiba" Shikamaru said.

"Now that we have some solve that little problem how about if we ordered some food before Chouji gets hungry again" Tenten said with a smirk.

"Hey I can't eat anymore because I reached my limit" the Akamichi whined while Ino giggled.

"By the way Hinata where's Naruto?" asked Shino.

"Where else he's hungry where do you think he's going to eat ramen?"

"Ichiraku's!" Lee said.

"Heh that's a no brainer I swear if it wasn't because he has his own apartment he'll be living in that ramen stand" Ino said.

"For all we know he could be marrying Teuchi as speak" Kiba said while grinning.

"Looks like you have to do something Hinata before Naruto dumps you for the owner of the restaurant" Tenten said with a giggle.

The Hyuga heiress pouted at their comments" could we please stop teasing Naruto-kun's obsession for ramen, he may love the food more than anything in the world but that doesn't mean he's going to marry a bowl of ramen or Teuchi-san."

"You never know if ramen was a woman he would dump you for her" Ino said while the rest of the group laughed with her.

Hinata sweat dropped' Naruto-kun isn't like that at all he will never dump me for ramen, or another girl for the matter' her pale eyes softened thinking about a certain girl who her blond boyfriend holds deep in his heart.

'No she would never…..Naruto-kun won't either…..'

(Ichiraku's ramen stand)

Naruto and Sakura were enjoying their bowl of ramen happily. Honestly Sakura wasn't very fond of ramen but she like eating the food, especially if it means that she was going to spend some time with the tall blond next to her. She has come to miss the times when she was always together with Naruto as teammates because she was always busy at the hospital and she was also taken by the Uchiha. Yet she felt embarrassed, eating together with the blond she felt like she was on a date with him. Every now and then she will steal glances at him, she watched as he devoured the bowl of ramen and ordered another one. She smiled his appetite will never change it will only grow more. Without blushing she smiled warmly at him and continued to eat her ramen, she was truly happy to be having this get together time with the blond jounin.

Naruto tried to concentrate on eating his ramen rather than looking at the pink haired goddess seated next to him. But he has failed he has also steal glances at her. He has always thought Sakura was the most beautiful woman in the entire village or in the five countries. These were the times he thought how lucky his friend Sasuke really is to have such a beautiful treasure as his girlfriend. There were also times that he was jealous of the Uchiha for having her but he wasn't going to argue with the feeling. As long as she was happy with him then it was enough for him. He paused eating his fifth bowl as he was hazing deeply at the pink haired woman next to him. He had to erase any inappropriate thoughts from his head that were considered intimate between him and the pink haired medic. He smiled staring at her before he notice that she was now looking back at him. She smiled at him in return and he gave his fox grin as they resumed their meal.

Teuchi and his daughter Ayame were watching the whole scene with smirks on their faces. Teuchi thought the whole thing was rather amusing. He remembers how Naruto was always begging Sakura to have a date with him and now they were almost having something similar to a date. Although he was expecting that the blond was going to get together with the pink haired kunoichi because they were always together. He could clearly see that there was something going on between the two teens rather than just friendship.

Ayame on the other hand was keeping her eyes on Sakura she shook her head there was something going on with her. Anyone could see it clearly just by looking at her. The way she was staring at Naruto with so much tenderness and affection reflected in her jade eyes. No doubt there was something she was feeling for the tall blond more than just friendship. She already has the experience since she was going to get marry with Kiba.

She sighed mentally' she has it bad….'

"So Naruto-kun how are you and Hinata doing?" asked the pink haired medic while almost finishing her bowl of ramen.

"We…we are fine just fine Hinata-chan is a wonderful person she's a good girlfriend" Naruto gave his fox grin as real as he could he didn't know why he was faking it.

Sakura smiled as she nodded" that's great I'm glad for you, are you happy?"

"Yeah…..I'm happy….what about you is the teme treating you right?"

The pink haired kunoichi sighed" Naruto-kun can you stop calling him that he has a name?"

The tall blond just grinned" I like calling Sasuke that it fits him better" he gave sheepish grin.

Sakura chuckle a little while Naruto gazed at her shock" no way…Sakura-chan did you just laugh because I called Sasuke teme?"

"No I just remember something that's all" she crossed her arms when she was really lying.

"Oh yeah I guess you will never laugh at that but anyway Sakura-chan, are you happy with Sasuke?"

"Yes…..I'm happy….." she gave him a fake smile.

"I'm glad we both are happy and we still have each other that's enough for me" the blond jounin gave a big smile.

"Me too" she replied with a smile.

"My you two are sure happy!" Ayame said smiling at the two friends.

"Of course Ayame-chan we've been through a lot we deserve to find happiness" Naruto replied with a smile.

Sakura smiled at him but didn't said a word she wasn't feeling well, maybe it was the feeling of her already shattered heart that for years have been destroy.

Ayame noticed her look before Naruto replied" what about you Ayame-chan you finally found someone to make you happy?"

Sakura chuckle" I never thought Kiba of all people will be the one to propose to you."

Ayame blushed remembering when she met Kiba. It was a couple of years ago when Kiba went with Naruto to have some ramen the Inuzuka just asked her out randomly from out of nowhere. She was really caught in surprise but she agree and even if he was younger than her she decided to give it a shot because no one has ever asked her out before. The date went nice and smooth she has actually like the young Inuzuka and eventually she started falling for him, not to mention that she loves dogs a lot she was an animal person. After three years of being in a relationship with him he has finally proposed to her and she happily accepted. Teuchi gave Kiba his blessings to marry his daughter making the wedding official, both couldn't be any happier with one another.

Ayame giggled while putting tucking some of her hair on her back" I'm very happy that I finally found someone for me, Kiba-kun is a wonderful person I know he will be a great husband."

"I'm happy for you Ayame –chan I will be in the wedding on the front!" Naruto said.

"Thank you Naruto-kun" replied the young woman.

"I am the happiest father in the world to see my great daughter getting married and to an Inuzuka I can't be any happier!" Teuchi said.

"And speaking of weddings let's not forget about you Naruto-kun" Ayame said.

"What do you mean Ayame-chan?" the blond jounin blinked.

"Everyone wants to know when you are going to propose to Hinata?!" the young woman giggle.

"Oh….that…" he really didn't know how to answer the question because he has never thought about it.

However they didn't notice Sakura's expression when Ayame mentioned the proposal part. She was smiling but it was a true fake smile to hide the horrible pain she was feeling in her heart. She finished her bowl of ramen, she notice that by now her break must be over so she needed to get back to work.

She got up from her seat getting their attention" well I better get back to the hospital Ayame-san I wish you happiness in your upcoming wedding with Kiba."

"Thank you Sakura you're also invited to come."

"Of course I'll be honor to go to the wedding!"

"Oh I'll walk you to the hospital Sakura-chan!"

"Thanks Naruto-kun but you don't have to."

"I insist Sakura-chan see you around Teuchi and Ayame-chan!"

"Bye Naruto!" Teuchi said seeing the two ninjas leaving his ramen stand.

Ayame sighed at Sakura's behavior, the way she was gazing at Naruto her eyes say so much somehow she knew what the pink haired kunoichi had in mind and it was nothing good.

"I feel sorry for Sakura…"

"What do you mean Ayame?"

"It's nothing father."

"By the way Naruto-kun…" Sakura said as they were walking the streets of the village taking the road that leads to the hospital" I don't know if Hinata has told you already but Ino will be having a get together party at her house tonight if you and Hinata are interested to go."

"Really of course I will go I will never miss a party with my friends, Hinata-chan will be happy to go too thanks for telling me Sakura-chan!"

"No problem I will go too…"

"Yeah this is exactly what Sasuke needs a social party."

"Right he needs to socialize with everyone else" she replied while sighing mentally' if it happens some aren't very fond of Sasuke-kun, I hope nothing goes wrong at the party.'

(Time skip)

Sasuke was doing another of his D rank missions painting a large fence in the village district. He wanted to end the stupid childish missions once and for all. According to what Kakashi told him if he continues to do a good job with the missions, then he will give him higher rank missions. Right now he would do just about enough to get a cooler mission fit for his rank and skill level. With doing higher rank missions he will finally earn a good salary which he will finally be able to pay the full electric and water bill and he will also have enough money to buy groceries, instead of relying on his girlfriend to give him money to buy food. He dipped the brush on the bucket of white paint as he continued to paint the fence. He frowned sensing a familiar chakra signature besides the two other signatures from the two ANBU who are always watching over him.

He wasn't surprise since he was expecting to see Naruto next to him who eventually wanted to annoy him or maybe gloat at him for doing genin rank missions. He continued with his mission while ignoring the blond jounin close to him.

"Hey Sasuke how are the D rank missions?!"

"Beat it dobe" was the Uchiha's only reply.

Naruto sense the anger in his tone so he took a step back pretending to be afraid of him" whoa you seem to be on a good mood as always."

"Hn…"

"I'm guessing that means that you're annoyed at my presence" the tall blond grinned.

"Yes."

"The missions sucks that much huh?"

"You have no idea."

Naruto shook his head before noticing the scratches on his right arm" what the…Sasuke what the heck happen to your arm those look like claw marks?"

The Uchiha frowned" I don't want to talk about it…"

"If you're doing D rank missions and looking at those claw marks I think I have a pretty good idea who did this to you…is it Tora?"

Sasuke got pissed hearing the name of the cat from hell" don't ever mention his name I swear if I have to retrieve that stupid cat again I will stabbed it with Kusanagi so many times that it will be nothing but a bloody pulp!"

The blond jounin grinned remembering the first time he retrieved the cat with team seven. His whole face was scratched by the raging cat demon and it was truly a very painful experience" sorry Sasuke I hate that freaking cat too I hope Kakashi sensei lifts up your punishment…"

"He told me if I keep it up he will at least give me a C rank mission which I want it so badly, I shouldn't be doing these stupid missions in the first place" grumble the Uchiha.

"You'll do fine eventually so teme how are things between you and Sakura-chan?"

"It's good I guess…." Sasuke's reply as he continued to pain the fence.

"So you haven't hurt her feelings or disrespect her?" Naruto frowned.

"No…"

"That's good teme I want Sakura-chan to be happy with you just make sure you don't call her annoying again, she's been through a lot after you left the village."

Sasuke didn't reply but he had to admit that he's friend was still an idiot after all these years he wasn't stupid to see the truth behind his girlfriend fake smiles' if you only knew dobe….'

"I almost forgot to tell you Sasuke tonight Ino will be having a get together party at her house, you're welcome to come Sakura-chan is already told me she's coming what about you?"

The Uchiha stood quiet resuming his mission" I…I don't know…"

"Come on Sasuke why not?" the blond got annoyed by his answer.

"In case you haven't realized yet I'm not very much welcome in this village, the people hates me and everyone from our generations can't stand me either so why bothering going it will be a waste of my time…."

"But what about Sakura-chan she wants to go?"

"She can go on her own I don't want to cause any trouble just when I'm almost finishing my sentence…"

Naruto growled" this is exactly why everyone doesn't trust you Sasuke you don't want to spend time with them, you have to open yourself to them and get their attention that you're sorry for everything you did in the past. If you do that you will slowly earn their trust so don't run away and face them, come to the party too!"

Sasuke stopped painting before looking back at the tall blond" it's easy for you to say that, you're the hero of the village everyone worship the very ground you walk on they treat you like a king they don't even give that high level of respect to the Hokage."

"Kakashi sensei is still lazy and he still reads his porn that's why the village doesn't treat him all high and mighty, besides it took me years to earn the village trust and respect if you remember who I am and my past if you remember how they treated me?"

"Yeah you were the dead last of the academy the loser and the Kyuubi jinchurikki, no one respects you…"

"You see but after years of training and proving myself that I was more than just a demon container, I slowly got my wish my existence was acknowledge and they started to respect me."

"Don't forget that you're the son of the fourth Hokage that boost the village level of respect for you" Sasuke grinned.

"That may be but I got the rest of the credit from my strength and my will to protect the village, Sasuke I know it's going to be hard but it will take time for you to earn their trust back. I know they will start worshiping you like they used to!"

The Uchiha sighed" I know that's the same thing Kakashi told me, I have made so many mistakes in my life but this time I want to change all of that but I don't know how to start…."

Naruto smiled" you can start by earning the village trust and respect!"

"That's the only thing I can do but what if I don't succeed and the villagers hate me forever?"

"That depends on the effort you show to protect the village, like me I have to sweat a lot to show them my strength but in due time I got my reward handsomely" he gave his fox grin' not my real reward' he thought about Sakura.

"I never thought I will have to work my way in the village again compare to how I used to hate Konoha….I also need time on my own because of the clan I still have some hate for this village that's why it's hard for me to try and earn their respect again...."

"I understand Sasuke just don't run away from your problems, so what do you say are you going to Ino's party?"

"I…guess..I will…"

"Great then I will see you at the party Sakura-chan will be happy to hear that you're coming too!" he started walking off.

"Dobe…"

"Yeah"

"Thanks….for being my friend…"

The blond jounin gave his fox grin" that's a good start for you teme I'm glad to have you as my friend too even after everything we've been through see you later then!" he then vanished.

Sasuke sighed as he picked up his brush and continued painting the fence he started thinking about the party' I hope I'm not making a mistake in coming…'

(Time skip: evening at the Uchiha compound)

Sasuke has change to formal attire that the members of the Uchiha clan wear. He sighed he really didn't feel like going to Ino's party because he knew that just like the villagers members of the Konoha eleven didn't go along with him or they didn't like him at all. Among them were Neji and Kiba, they didn't like him one bit because they only saw a traitor rather than a Konoha ally or friend. Kiba has never liked him since the academy because he was a show off and always getting all the attentions from the girls his fan girl club. As for Neji he was very strict when it comes to obey rules and with the fact that he was a traitor, treachery and Neji together didn't fit. He left his room heading to the front door when he heard a knock on the door. Opening he saw Sakura wearing her regular attire but instead of the one white circle on her back they were two circles crossing with each other.

"Sasuke-kun are you ready to go?!"

"Yeah…" he replied as they left the house closing the door and locking it.

"You know Sasuke-kun I'm glad that you're coming to Ino's party I thought you weren't interested."

"I didn't want to come that is until the dobe changed my mind, you know how he is…" he rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Sakura smiled after hearing that, once again it proves that Naruto was always worrying about his friends.

'Naruto-kun…' she thought of the blond jounin she smiled looking back at her boyfriend" let's enjoy tonight's party okay Sasuke-kun?"

"That depends if I don't get thrown out of the house because they don't allow traitors" he said dryly.

"Don't worry about that Ino told me that Neji and Kiba will behave as long as you behave too, so there won't be any problems."

The Uchiha didn't answer walking the streets of the village he hoped nothing goes wrong although that socializing with other people was never his idea of fun in the first place. He would prefer training and mastering jutsu rather than talking and doing nothing.

(Time skip: Yamanaka residence)

Sasuke and Sakura arrived at Ino's house, Sakura knocked on the front door. A minute later the door opened revealing Ino wearing a short sleeve purple blouse and a black skirt reaching below her knees. The Yamanaka smiled seeing her best friend and tried to smile at Sasuke, although the Uchiha already knew that the made a fake smile. He started thinking that maybe he made a mistake in coming to the party.

'Great this is all Naruto's fault…the idiot…'

"Hey Sakura Sasuke welcome come on in everyone is already here…well except for Naruto and Hinata."

Sasuke grinned a little thinking that the two must be going at it hard and fast no holding back. Of course it didn't matter to him in knowing about his best friends' sexual life.

They entered the house as Ino lead them to the living room where they met the rest of the group. They saw everyone from team Gai, Shikamaru,Chouji, Shino and Kiba. Neji was talking to Kiba with Shino while Lee was doing pushups and his girlfriend Tenten was scolding him to take a break because he's always pushing himself to the limit. Shikamaru was talking to Chouji probably it was about the game of chogi it was the Nara's favorite board game. Sakura smiled as she spotted someone else seated in the couch it was her other friend and teammate Sai. He was wearing his regular civilian clothes and he was reading a book. She smiled seeing him after three years Sai has become very touch with his emotions and now he was acting more human than ever, nothing like the person he used to be when he joined team Kakahsi.

She didn't care if he was gay he was still her friend and teammate, she was just like Naruto her friends meant everything to her and she will do anything for them. They were gathered at the living room just happy to be here, all of them were wearing regular clothing. Anyone could tell that just by looking at them they didn't look like ninjas but regular citizens of Konoha. The entered the living as they approached the group.

"Hey guys look who arrived?!" Ino said getting the attention from the group.

As soon as everyone's eyes fell on the couple Sakura felt a little nervous and Sasuke just sighed at their reaction. Their eyes fell on the Uchiha only and they were already looking at him with mistrust and anger. After three years they still didn't trusted him ever since they heard about him joining Akatsuki they felt uncomfortable being near him. Shikamaru didn't give him any glares he just resumed his conversation with Chouji while the Akamichi didn't pay attention to him. Kiba frowned at his presence and tried to ignore him, the same with Neji. Tenten tried to gave him a smile but she failed, Lee was probably the only one who was smiling at the Uchiha he wants to give him a second chance. Shino since his mouth was the only part of his body that was cover because of his long neck shirt his expression was unreadable as always thanks to his sunglasses too. Sai also smiled at him looks like he only had two people from their group that like him.

Ino sweat dropped at the reaction of the group' well I guess this is a good start…'

Sakura ignore their expressions and smiled" hey everyone!"

"Sakura-san Sasuke-kun how are you doing?" asked Sai.

"Were doing fine aren't we Sasuke-kun?"

"Yeah…"

"Yosh Sasuke-kun how about if we have a sparring match to life our flame of youth?!" Lee said cheery.

"Maybe next time…" the Uchiha gave a small smirk at least someone was talking to him nicely.

"Lee stop it now for crying out loud were having some time off!" Tenten scolded her boyfriend.

"Sorry Tenten."

"Hey Sai you're reading a book" Sakura said.

"Yes this is a book about relationships I decided to read it" he replied smiling.

Kiba grinned" why is that are you trying to find a boyfriend?"

Everyone in the group stood quiet except for Ino who tried to hold her laughter and Sakura blush a little giving the Inuzuka an annoyed look.

Neji decided to break the uncomfortable silence caused by Kiba's rude comment" it seems Naruto and Hinata haven't arrive yet…"

"Yeah I wonder why they aren't here yet?" asked Chouji.

"Those two must be doing inappropriate things" Kiba replied with a smirk.

Ino noticed the expression on Sakura's face after hearing Kiba's comment she could tell that it has somehow hurt her.

"Kiba shut up!" Neji said glaring at the Inuzuka after three years the Hyuga was still a little overprotective of his cousin even if she was with someone trusting like Naruto.

"Sorry I guess I got carry away…"

Shikamaru sighed" you guys were suppose to be having some fun not trying to get at each other's throats, I should it know this party was going to be troublesome."

"You're right Shikamaru let's get this get together party started I'll be right back to get the snacks!" Ino said.

"All right snacks!" Chouji cheered.

"Sakura could you help me in the kitchen?" asked the Yamanaka.

"Sure"

They left the living room while the group started talking again and Sasuke stood quiet acting like his old emo self.

"Sasuke-kun how you've been?" asked Sai.

"I'm fine…." was his only reply.

Kiba saw the scene and started laughing" hey guys check it out Sai is hitting on Sasuke looks like he likes you Sasuke."

Everyone started laughing while the Uchiha got pissed at the Inuzuka's comment 'that dog breath asshole…'

In the kitchen Ino took the mini sandwiches she made while Ino took a large pack of ice cold sodas. Ino made enough sandwiches for everyone, not to mention that her boyfriend will start eating like there's no tomorrow. Before she took the large plate of the snacks she gazed at her best friend who was getting the ice from the fridge.

"Sakura can I ask you something?"

"Huh…sure"

The Yamanaka went straight to the point" do you love Sasuke?"

"Excuse me?" Sakura gazed at her with a frown.

"Yeah do you love him?"

"Of course I love Sasuke-kun."

"Are you sure?" Ino went closer to her.

"Yes why do you ask does it shock you that much that will make you think otherwise?"

"Actually yes"

"Why?!" the pink haired medic was getting annoyed.

"Sakura you and Sasuke don't look like you guys are together at all, anyone could see that you guys aren't a couple."

"Why do you think that?" Sakura was still annoyed.

"Let's see you guys don't act like one you guys don't seem close it's more like you guys are apart than together and I haven't seen you guys hold hands or kissing for the matter."

"First I don't kiss in public and second we don't have to hold hands to prove that were together."

"Of course you do, holding hands is the symbol that you two are in a committed relationship is essential that a couple hold hands."

"Great so when did you become a professional in relationships Ino?"

"Since I'm your best friend and I worry about you is there something you're not telling me?" Ino's tone was full of concern.

"Nothing is wrong I'm perfectly fine and I'm enjoying my life with Sasuke-kun thanks for worrying."

"Then why do I have the feeling like you're not telling me the truth?"

"Look Ino let's just drop the topic all right?"

"I don't think you love Sasuke Sakura"

"Why do you think that I have always love Sasuke-kun!"

"Are you sure because I think there's someone else you love more than Sasuke."

Sakura tried to remain calm and don't freak out" Ino I only love Sasuke-kun and I will always love him."

"What about Naruto?" the Yamanaka finally broke the ice on the conversation.

"What….Naruto I…..what about him he's my closest friend and my teammate I don't like him like that and besides he's taken he's together with Hinata."

"Sakura I don't know how to say this but I always believe that every time I looked at you and Naruto how happy you guys were and I thought that there was something going between the two of you more than just friendship, not just me but the whole village thinks so too."

"I don't like Naruto like that Ino he's my friend nothing else."

"So you never felt anything for Naruto more than just friendship?"

"Yes that's what I've been trying to tell you why is it so hard for you to understand that?!"

"Sakura you hugged him in front of the whole village, everyone saw how you hugged him while crying holding him."

"So what I can't hug my teammate?"

"That's not the point, the point is how you hugged him that matters."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll show you, Kiba could you come over here for a second?!" she shouted so it was loud enough to hear all the way to the living room.

"Yeah I'll be right there!" came the voice of the Inuzuka as he entered the kitchen" what's wrong?"

Suddenly Ino hugged him wrapping her arms around his back causing him to blushed and freak out" what the….Ino what are you doing I'm engage and you have a boyfriend?!"

"It's all right Kiba" she turned back to the pink haired kunoichi" you see this Sakura this is a friendship hug the kind of hug given from one friend to another, you can go back now Kiba and here take the sandwiches and the soda and make sure Chouji doesn't eat everything in sight."

"Right!" Kiba replied leaving the kitchen with the snacks.

"So what's your point Ino?" Sakura was really annoyed.

"My point is simple the hug you gave Naruto three years ago that was definitely no friendship hug!"

Sakura rubbed her forehead feeling so annoy like she has never felt before" and may I ask why you think that hug wasn't a friendship hug?"

Ino smirked" because of the way you hugged him, your hand tenderly touched his face while pulling him closer to you feeling the warm of his body. The way you touched his face it's like you wanted to move his face straight at yours and give him a passionate kiss, well am I right?"

Sakura growled a she walked pass her" I'm leaving this conversation is over…"

"Wait Sakura!" she called to her best friend but she was already gone.

'What's wrong with you Sakura?'

Back at the living room everyone was enjoying the sandwiches Ino made even Sasuke was enjoying them. So far he hasn't said a word to no one he was never the kind of person who would talk a lot. He just stood there eating while watching the rest talking ad having fun. Soon Sakura entered the living room followed by Ino and he didn't like what he saw. His girlfriend looked very upset which means something must've happened to her when she was in the kitchen with Ino. Sakura got next to him while Ino went back to Chouji holding his hand and for once, Sasuke ignored the disapproval looks from Neji and Kiba.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke whispered to his girlfriend.

"Nothing…" was her only reply.

"Are you sure you look very angry?"

" I'm fine…"

"Sakura…"

"I said I'm fine!" she whispered a little loud.

The Uchiha sighed he knew something was bothering her but she was being too stubborn to say anything. Sometimes she will act more stubborn than Naruto which it wasn't good news. He decided to leave it like this for now and continued watching the party.

Soon the party got better as everyone started talking about different topics. They started talking their childhood before entering the academy, which it was a bad topic for Sasuke remembering his horrible past. Shikamaru started talking the days of the academy when he had plenty of time to take naps without having any responsibility or work to do besides the homework given by Iruka. Another topic brought was when they became genin and eventually when they were put in their three man teams with their jounin teachers. Shikamaru, Chouji and Ino smiled remembering Asuma and all of the things he taught them. Suddenly Sakura was feeling better from her conversation with Ino and she started telling them when team seven took their first C rank mission that turned into an A rank mission in wave country. Their encounter with the missing nin Zabuza and his partner Haku to the big fight in Tazuna's bridge which it got the name of the great Naruto bridge.

Their talk continued when Lee brought the chunin exams and everything they went through even the sand and sound invasion. They continued talking about other topics, mentioning Akatsuki and Orochimaru which the topic made Sasuke felt uncomfortable. Every single even when Pain attacked the village and how Naruto saved them from the powerful ninja who possessed the eyes of the sage of the six paths. It wasn't long before Ino took the center stage getting everyone's attention looks like she has a very big announcement to make.

"All right everyone we sure are having fun but now it's time to hear some important information from yours truly!"

"Gossip" Chouji said because he knew his girlfriend all too well.

"Chouji you spoiled the surprise yes it's time to hear some great gossip" the Yamanaka grinned.

"Great were about to hear the investigation report from Ino the gossip queen" Tenten said with a smirk.

"Thank you thank you" Ino took it as a compliment.

Sakura didn't like the topic of gossip especially if it was coming from her best friend while Sasuke was next to her and noticed her expression' Ino you better not be thinking in mentioning what happened in the kitchen.'

Ino smirked at the crowd" all right guys this is the latest piece of information I just heard, they are rumors going around the village that Yamato is seeing someone."

"What you're kidding!" asked a shocked Chouji.

"Captain Yamato is dating" Sakura said and she was surprise.

"Yes the power of love triumphs once again!" Lee shouted happily.

"Whose is he dating?" asked Tenten.

Ino giggle" you guys won't believe who is the woman he's dating…"

"Come on Ino tell us already the suspense is killing me!" Kiba said.

Sakura sighed" Ino this better not be a lie."

"It's not I promise I'm telling you the truth, guys captain Yamato is dating none other than Anko!"

Everyone's eyes went wide like dinner plates from the shock, Neji almost chocked from eating his sandwich hearing the news.

"You got to be kidding captain Yamato is seeing her!" Sakura was shocked.

"That's can't be!" Kiba said.

"Nope I'm telling the truth the word is on the street about their new relationship, they have been dating for two weeks now" replied the Yamanaka.

"I can't believe it" Chouji said stun.

'I guess Yamato must have bad taste in women' Shikamaru thought with a sweat dropped.

"I guess captain Yamato must be that desperate to have a girlfriend" Sai said adding his two cents.

"I will have to agree with you on that Sai" Sakura said.

"I guess it's true what they say about love, it happens in the most unpredictable situations" Tenten said smiling.

"There's also the old saying of opposites attract" Shino said.

"Yes those two are completely opposites" Neji said.

"But at least Yamato-san is happy because the power of love is very youthful!" Lee said.

"But he should find himself another woman Anko-san is not really a good example for a decent pairing" Sai said.

"Yeah I feel sorry for him" Kiba said with a grin.

"It's his fault if he gets in trouble with her" Tenten said.

Ino nodded while gazing at the quiet Uchiha" what about you Sasuke what do you think?"

Sakura blinked while gazing at her boyfriend, ignoring the frowns and hard glances coming from Kiba and Neji.

Sasuke just shrugged his shoulders" good for him I guess…"

'Yeah right I bet he doesn't care that he's here at all' Kiba thought.

'He is such a hypocrite' Neji thought.

"Guys how about we make a toast for Ino and her idea for inviting us here!" Chouji said.

"Chouji…" Ino blushed at her boyfriend's comment.

Shikamaru smiled" its fine with me you deserve to take the credit Ino."

"Yeah were very happy that you took your time to make this party" Tenten said.

"Thanks Ino" Sakura said she was no longer upset with her with the comments she told her back at the kitchen.

"Let's hear it to Ino!" Chouji said while everyone raised their glasses of soda.

"To Ino!!!"

Ino was blushing from the embarrassment" come on you guys there was no need to do that…"

"I disagree you're a good friend Ino" Shino said.

"Were happy we came here after being so busy with missions" Neji said.

Sakura was smiling while noticing that two people were still absent from the party' Naruto-kun and Hinata aren't here yet.'

She then remember what Kiba said that they were going at it she felt sick to her stomach' why am I acting like this I have nothing wrong with that they are together after all, so it doesn't surprise me if they were doing that kind of stuff.'

Her thoughts were interrupted as she saw that Kiba has raised his glass like he wanted to make another toast.

"I will like to make another toast to our village Konoha may we continue to experience peace in the village and to have loyal ninjas who would never turned their backs on our cause!"

Nobody said a word about the toast because they know what the Inuzuka was talking about or more precise who he was talking about. Sakura stood quiet feeling uneasy and Sasuke was glaring at Kiba.

"What are getting at Kiba?" asked the Uchiha.

"It's nothing Sasuke all I'm saying is that we're all loyal to our village and we will never turn our backs against it isn't that right?"

Sasuke was glaring at him while Shikamaru got between the two to prevent a future fight" guys that's enough now…"

Neji decided to add more wood to the fire by adding his verbal abuse" I will have to agree with Kiba we all care for the village that were willing to put our lives on the line for its safety and it's not appropriate to have a traitors in it."

"Guys please stop it!" Ino said.

Sasuke ignored her demand glaring at the Hyuga" do you have a problem with me Neji?"

"As a matter of fact I do, you were never loyal to Konoha it was always about your revenge and restoring your clan but it was never about protecting the village or your comrades you have no right to call yourself a ninja of Konoha."

Sakura was very nervous feeling the strong tension building around in the living room she needed to change the topic before something bad happens" guys remember when we all took the jounin exams?"

However no one listened to her they were all focusing on the glaring contest Sasuke, Neji and Kiba were having.

"Neji please calm down" Tenten said to her teammate.

"Tenten's right there is no need to create a conflict when we're all enjoying this youthful party" Lee said.

"Yes I agree I'm sure we can all get along without arguing or the possibility of having a fight" Sai said.

"Hey don't argue with us he shouldn't even be here in the first place if you guys remember everything he has done!" Kiba said glaring at the Uchiha.

"Whether you like it or not Kiba Sasuke is a member of Konoha and one of our friends" Shikamaru said being the voice of reason as usual.

"Perhaps that's your opinion Shikamaru but it's definitely not mine, I will never have a traitor for a companion" Neji said in firm tone.

"If you have a bone to pick with me Hyuga then just say it instead of saying all that bullshit" Sasuke said pissed.

"Watch your mouth Uchiha!" Neji spat.

"Make me" Sasuke was glaring daggers at him.

"Both of you stop now!" Ino shouted.

"Go ahead Neji beat him up he's asking for it" Kiba said with a grin.

Sakura finally got pissed with the Inuzuka" shut the hell up Kiba!!!"

Everyone gaze at the pissed pink haired kunoichi in shock while Sasuke was grinning at his girlfriends' attitude she was still glaring at him.

"Look Kiba we all know you and Neji don't like Sasuke-kun but that doesn't mean everyone else has to hate his guts too!"

"I agree" Shikamaru replied.

"Oh really!" Kiba was now gazing at Sakura" and you don't think everyone hates him, go ahead everyone tell Sakura how you all feel about Sasuke!"

"I don't dislike Sasuke-kun" Sai said.

"Well that's pretty obvious because you have a crush on him Sai" replied the Inuzuka.

"SHUT UP KIBA!!!" shouted the pissed off Sasuke.

"Everyone calm down this is supposed to be a party and instead were all arguing among us, I have nothing personal on Sasuke as long as he learns his lesson then it's all right with me" Shino said.

"You said it Shino if he learns his lesson" Kiba replied.

"I want to give Sasuke a second chance but I don't know if I can trust him again I'm sorry Sakura" Ino said.

"The same goes with me" Tenten replied.

"I trust Sasuke-kun we all make mistakes!" Lee said.

"I guess I can give him a second chance he has been trying hard for three years" Chouji said.

Neji nodded" what about you Shikamaru?"

The Nara sighed while gazing at the Uchiha" Sasuke I don't have nothing personal against you however, I have to agree with Neji you were never loyal to Konoha because you were focusing on your ambition. Your life morals are power, hate and revenge mine are friendship, justice and security."

"Isn't taking revenge on the man responsible for turning my brother into a murderer killing the whole clan called justice" Sasuke said in a growl.

"That is justice but answer me this Sasuke what were the lengths you went through to fulfill that justice?" asked Shikamaru.

Sasuke stood quiet he knew the answer all right, betraying his village turning his back on his friends his team breaking the strong bond with team seven joining Orochimaru to gain the power he needed to fulfill his revenge. Joining Akatsuki trying to capture the eight tails jinchurikki and risking a war with the hidden cloud village, everything he did for the sake of revenge was wrong and evil.

"Sasuke-kun…." Sakura said worry for him.

The Uchiha snorted at his question" hn whatever I'm out of here let's go Sakura…."

Sakura nodded and started walking off leaving the room while Kiba was grinning at the whole thing.

"That's right Sasuke leave the only thing you're good at is running away and having revenge."

That was the last draw for the Uchiha as he turned back to give KIba a killer glare, he activated his sharingan and charged at him.

"Sasuke-kun don't!!!" shouted the scare Sakura.

But he never got the chance to get near the Inuzuka because he was paralyze seeing that his shadow was being hold by Shikamaru's shadow due to his shadow possession jutsu. The two ANBU that are watching appeared getting next to him and they unsheathed their swords at him just in case.

"Uchiha Sasuke your action will be informed to the Hokage!"

"This will cost you Uchiha"

"it's all right Sasuke-kun won't do nothing like that again" Sakura said worry for her boyfriend.

"It's too late now we will tell this to Hokage-sama" the two ANBU vanished.

"Damn it!" Sasuke cursed.

Shikamaru sighed while releasing his shadow possession jutsu" troublesome….Sasuke I think you should go home…."

"That's a great idea I was leaving anyway" the Uchiha replied rudely before leaving followed by Sakura.

When they opened the front door they saw Naruto and Hinata ready to greet them.

"Hey Sasuke Sakura-chan you guys made it!"

Sasuke didn't say a word he just passed the blond rudely.

"Sasuke-kun…" Hinata said.

"Hey what's going on Sasuke where are you going?!"

"I'm sorry Naruto-kun Hinata" Sakura said before leaving following her boyfriend.

"Sakura-chan….what's going on?" he gazed at Hinata but she was as confused as him.

They closed the door heading to the living room. When they reached the room they saw the whole group who didn't look happy at all. They were supposed to be having a party and instead it turned into a big argument about the Uchiha traitor.

"Are we late or something?" Naruto said thinking that was the reason why Sasuke and Sakura left.

"Shessh it's about time you guys got here what took you so long?" Ino asked the couple.

"Were very sorry but Naruto-kun wanted to eat at Ichiraku's and I just couldn't say no to him" Hinata said while smiling she was obviously lying because they were really having another oral sex session.

'Yeah right that's a lot of bull' thought the Yamanaka with a grin.

"But anyway guys were glad to see you come and join us want some sandwiches Ino made them?" Chouji said trying to lighten the mood and break the tension.

"What happened I saw Sasuke and Sakura-chan leaving he looked very upset?" asked the blond jounin.

"Oh you know Sasuke he's always in such a good mood" Kiba replied sarcastically.

"Let's forget about Sasuke and continued with the party" Neji said.

"What happened?" Naruto's voice was very serious.

"It wasn't pleasant" Sai said.

Shikamaru sighed deciding to tell him" an argument broke through about Sasuke and he got mad…"

Hinata gazed at her boyfriend who looked disappointed" Naruto-kun…."

"You guys gave him a hard time again?"

"Sasuke doesn't belong here he's a traitor" Neji said.

Naruto growled" he may be a traitor but he has been trying to fixed his mistake for three years or perhaps you didn't noticed Neji?"

"Come on Naruto you know were right Sasuke was never loyal to Konoha because of his revenge he could care less about what happens to the village" Kiba said.

"Right now he's trying to care for the village and everyone else but if you guys don't give him that chance and let him in then how would you expect him to become loyal to Konoha?"

"Naruto has a point" Shino said.

"We know Shino but it's not so easy to trust him and try to be friendly to him" Tenten said.

"He has made a lot of awful things that makes us distrust him or hate him" Ino said.

"Sasuke was always quiet and a loner always doing things on his own and never let anyone get in his life, he was never a team player we remember how he was at the academy" Chouji said.

"Yeah he left the village to joined Orochimaru then he joined Akatsuki after killing him, which let's not forget that Akatsuki is the same organization responsible for destroying the village and finally he attempted to capture the Raikage's brother which risked having a war between Konoha and Kumo!" Kiba said.

"Sasuke-kun never asked for the Uchiha clan to get killed" Hinata said" he's just a victim of the elders cruel decision the least we could do is give him a second chance and let him become our friend once again."

"That's what I think too Sasuke-kun deserves a second chance he's our friend and a member of Konoha!" Lee said.

"I agree with Naruto, Hinata and Lee trust may be hard to earn and easy to destroy but everyone deserves a second chance, Sasuke's whole life was turned upside down because of the Uchiha clan and the elders in other words it was Konoha's government that destroyed his life. His actions were justify and we clearly know that his brother Itachi didn't killed the clan because he just felt like it he was ordered by elders of the council, but now that he's back and he killed Danzou I want to give him that second chance maybe he can finally be our friend too" Shikamaru said.

"That's just it Shikamaru Sasuke didn't return to Konoha because he missed the village, he returned because of revenge he came here to kill the elders he only killed Danzou but I know he wants to kill the other two that are still alive. For all we know he could be planning to kill Homura and Koharu in our backs" Neji said.

"That's not true Sasuke would never do something like that!" Naruto shouted.

"After everything he has done and you don't think he's capable in killing the reaming elders?" asked the Hyuga prodigy.

"Sasuke won't do that he's change he's not the same person he was when he joined Orochimaru" Naruto said.

"I'll believe it when I see it" Kiba said with a frown.

Naruto shook his head" I can't believe you guys distrust Sasuke so much I know he has done a lot of bad things but he's still my friend and I will never turned my back on my friends I would do the same for everyone one of you…."

"I know about that Naruto-kun that's why I support you I will trust Sasuke-kun" Sai said smiling.

"Thanks Sai"

Naruto turned to leave.

"Where are you going Naruto?" asked Ino.

"I'm sorry guys but I'm leaving I don't want to be here" he left.

"Narutoo-kun wait!" Hinata said before following him.

"Well so much for the get together party" Tenten said with a sigh.

"Yeah it really screw things up" Chouji said.

"This party was a bad idea of my part" Ino said.

"The party was supposed to bring us together but instead it tore us apart more" Sai said.

"Yes talk about irony" Shino replied.

"Ino maybe next time you should make an apology party" Kiba said with a grin.

"Shut up Kiba!" replied the Yamanaka.

Shikamaru shook his head' this whole party has become so troublesome this is why I don't like parties in the first place.

(Time skip: at the Uchiha compound district)

An angry Sasuke entered his house while punching the nearest wall. He was so upset with everything that happened at the party. Of course he knew they hated him why wasn't he surprise it was the same with the villagers too. Sakura arrived shortly to see him facing the same wall he just punched feeling like the most miserable person in the whole world. She was really worried for him, she went to him touvhing his shoulder she needed to talk to him and make him feel better.

"Sasuke-kun…."

"You can go now Sakura" he said softly.

"I am not leaving you like this please let me be here for you."

The Uchiha chuckle sarcastically" there's nothing you can do they hate me the whole goddamn village hates me!!!"

"You already know it wasn't going to be easy and you also know that it will take time for the people in the village to gain your trust again that goes with everyone from our generation too."

"That's just it maybe that's not what I want after all!" he looked back at her anger clearly in his onyx eyes.

"What do you mean?" Sakura got closer to him.

"Lately I've been thinking that maybe I don't want to gain the village respect maybe it will be better if things remain like this…"

"How can you say that you preferred that the village looks at you like a traitor and hate you forever instead of respecting you for being the heir of the Uchiha clan?"

"I lost the rights as the heir of the clan and the Uchiha clan is no longer an elite clan of Konoha if you have forgotten that it was the decision the council took upon my return."

"But that makes it better for you to start fighting hard to earn the people's respect as well as the council, maybe if they see that you have finally change and become a true ninja then maybe they will give you the rights of the clan again."

"I already told you that I don't want to gain respect from the village or anyone from the council or even the Hokage I just don't want to do nothing at all, maybe it would've been better if I never came back to Konoha I'm still asking myself why the hell did I come back here?"

"Maybe because you have people that think you're precious to them as a friend as a brother, if you know who they are Naruto-kun, me, Kakashi sensei and Hinata…."

"She doesn't count…"

"Yes she does Hinata cares for you too!"

"She only likes me because I'm Naruto's best friend otherwise she will be acting just like Neji, the point is that maybe I don't want to be in Konoha maybe I shouldn't have come back. It will be a whole lot better if I was still a missing nin so I could die and….."

Sasuke never finished his sentence as Sakura interrupted him with a warm hug and tears were forming at the corner of her eyes. She hold him never to let him go while caressing his dark hair right now she only wanted to make him feel better no matter what.

"Sasuke-kun please….don't do this to yourself let me help you let me be the one to get rid of that pain you're feeling right now…."

"You can't help me…" he replied dryly.

"Yes I can if you let me help you Sasuke-kun….I will make you feel better and make you stay here forever…."

Suddenly Sasuke pushed her off rudely making her gasped his sudden action has really hurt her feelings and by now her years were falling" Sasuke-kun….what's wrong?"

"You can drop the act now…"

"What…what are you talking about?"

"I'm talking that you should stop pretending like you actually love me because it's not working anymore and I have had it!"

"Pretending you think I'm pretending to love you….Sasuke-kun I love you!!!"

"No you don't!"

"Yes I do you're my boyfriend!"

"Boyfriend!" Sasuke was laughing in pure amusement like he has just heard a very funny joke while Sakura's face was full of tears" that's so funny Sakura so I guess I'm your boyfriend in our fake relationship."

"Fake relationship….what do you mean?"

"Come on Sakura our relationship is nothing but smoke and mirrors all fake, we've been suppose to be together for three years and I didn't know that after three years of being a couple we haven't hold hands kiss hell we haven't even had sex!"

Sakura chuckle while she was still feeling hurt" oh so that's it huh….that's what you want sex, you want sex to prove that we have a solid relationship right….okay we will have sex right here right now come on take off your clothes. You want to fuck we'll fuck like there's no tomorrow I will fuck you senseless!"

Sasuke sighed seeing Sakura removing her clothes" Sakura stop this right now you're only making a fool of yourself…."

"I'm not you want sex I'll give you sex come on am I making you horny?" she unzip her red shirt revealing her bindings.

"You won't do such thing Sakura, even if you get naked you will not have sex with me do you know why?" by now Sasuke has gotten close to the pink haired medic she was staring into his onyx eyes.

"Sasuke-kun…." she said in a soft whisper.

"Because every time I look into your eyes all I see…is him and I don't need my sharingan to look into your mind to figure it out…."

"What….." Sakura was shocked as the tears were still falling.

"You know who I'm talking about the person you have always like whose now off limits to you, well am I right?"

Sakura zipped back her shirt and she couldn't believe it what she just heard and she knew very well that he was right. She dried her tears while she head to the front door she wanted to leave but not before looking back at her fake boyfriend.

"I guess I succeeded in making you feel better after all….I brought back the good old Sasuke-kun the same Sasuke-kun whose always hurting my feelings welcome back…."

Sasuke's eyes widened he has realized that he has made a big mistake" Sakura wait I'm sorry!"

"It's all right Sasuke-kun I'm not angry with you but I need to go I have to work tomorrow early I'll see you later…." she finally left the house leaving a hurt Sasuke behind.

Sasuke was so angry once again he hast hurt Sakura's feelings he punched the wall harder than before making it break a little" goddamn it my fucking life sucks!!!"
