Naruto sniffed something good and wonderful. He recognized the scent anywhere it was his favorite dish in the whole world. He will never missed the fresh, sweet and tasty aroma of ramen he slowly opened his eyes only to find his golden prize laying before him. In front of him was a small wooden platform with a big bowl of hot ramen the chopsticks were placed next to the bow, the sight alone was enough to make his mouth watered. The aroma was delicious and unique he has never seen such a well made ramen in his entire life seeing all the things in the right places. Even if he hasn't tasted yet he could tell that it was delicious and he had an ability to know the taste after so many years of eating it. Without thinking about it he picked up his chopsticks and started eating the good looking ramen. When he ate a couple of noodles he felt like he has die and gone to heaven it tasted so good. He has never tasted anything like it he took a couple of bites and he loved it. This was by far the best ramen he has ever taste it although he didn't know how it got here not remembering cooking it, he smiled happily and resumed his eating until he eventually finished eating it.

"I'm guessing you like the ramen I made?"

The tall blond gazed at the source of the voice and gasped. He blushed seeing his pink haired goddess Sakura wearing a sexy pink baby doll. She was hot and beautiful seeing her wearing the sexy outfit has fueled his sexual appetite a lot. He was already aroused his manhood reacted at the sight and the way she was staring at him it was enough to make him have an orgasm. The sexy cherry blossom walked to him in a very sensual and seductive way until she reached him, she got seated next to him on his bed smiling warmly at him. Naruto was still blushing at the way she was looking at him she got closer to him until her lips were very close to his. She licked her lips at the object of her affections she couldn't help it how handsome and sexy he looks it made her want to bang him already.

"Did you enjoy the ramen Naruto-kun?" she said in the most seductive tone ever.

Naruto was still blushing feeling nervous having the pink haired beauty so close to him" S…Sakura-chan you made this ramen?"

"Yes I needed to make the best ramen I could cook just for you, I guess I succeeded didn't I?" she winked at him.

"It was very good Sakura-chan but…why are you wearing that?!" he blushed at the sexy pink baby doll.

The cherry blossom giggled at his nervous tone" I wanted to wear something comfortable and sexy just for your eyes only. Do you like it?"

Naruto felt like having a nose bleed when Sakura did a turnaround making see the thong she was wearing revealing her well formed ass like it was begging to get a spank. Nevertheless the baby doll really did an awesome job in showing the pink haired woman in a whole new level of sexiness. She was truly an arousing sight indeed while Naruto felt his manhood hurting his boxers from how hard he has become at the sight of the pink haired angel in front of him. Sakura before licking her lips seeing the large tent forming on the blonds' boxers it was a promising sight it was time for her to make her move. She quickly saddle on top of Naruto placing herself on his hard cock looking like it was about to explode from his boxers. She moaned feeling the hard covered manhood touching her womanhood which by now it was very wet. Naruto groaned at the feeling as Sakura got closer to him giving him a smile that reflected a lot of intimacy and lust.

"Sakura-chan….what are you doing?" replied the blushing Naruto.

"Was it looked like my love I'm making you mine?"

"What….."

"Isn't the sight enough for you I want you badly Naruto-kun" she started giving him soft kisses all over his cheeks making the tall blond give a small purr because he was liking it.

"Wait Sakura-chan this isn't right….you don't want me you want Sasuke you love him, you have always love him" he replied on the inside he was hurt for saying the only truth.

The pink haired woman gave a puzzle look but she smiled at him in return" no….not him you Naruto-kun….only you the one I want and desire so much….the one who can make me happy and has always been there for me you are the only man in my life…..in my heart."

"You don't mean that Sakura-chan?" he asked fear in his voice he knew that she will always love the Uchiha no matter what.

Sakura smiled in return touching his cheek "let me show you then…"

She pulled him to a passionate kiss as he reacted quickly wrapping his arms around her waist and she moaned in full approval proof that she enjoying the kiss a lot. Naruto's hand traveled from Sakura's waist to her well formed ass as he gave it a gentle squeeze causing the cheery blossom to make a moan while kissing him and soon they were now locked in a tongue war. Both moans in their mouths as their tongue kiss became wilder and more passionate lust has filled both of them. Sudenly Sakura grabbed his hand which was groping her ass and removing it sending it to another more intimate location. The tall blond was surprised when he was now touching her womanhood. He broke the kiss seeing the grinning pink haired making sure he felt her pussy through the fabric of her panties, he loved it feeling the wetness making him feel more aroused than ever.

"Do you feel that Naruto-kun?" asked the horny Sakura while kissing his cheek" can you feel how wet I am for you it means how much I want you, how badly I love you and only you…"

"I want you Sakura-chan I always have" admitted the aroused Naruto.

"The take me already and make me yours" she replied as she pulled down his boxers revealing his hard twelve inch cock and began to stroke it causing him to groan.

"Sakura-chan…ah yes don't stop!"

Naruto wasn't going to stand and do nothing he wanted to give his cherry blossom angel the same treatment he also wanted her to feel pleasure too. Hi hand went down through her pink silk panties and touched her wet womanhood he licked his lips loving the wetness of her pussy until he reached his destination. He started rubbing her clitoris making Sakura moaned loudly shouting his name in passion he groaned still feeling the pleasure she was giving him stroking his cock. Both adults were now performing mutual masturbation while looking in their eyes. Lust, passion, love and desire were the emotions reflected in their eyes and both of them wanted this experience unique in pleasure. Sakura increased her speed in stroking his cock as well as Naruto who rubbed her clit faster both of their screams filled his room as they were enjoying this pleasurable experience.

"Ohhhh yes Naruto-kun that's it rub my clit like that oooohhh yes!!!"

"Shit Sakura-chan keep stroking my cock like that!!!"

By now both lovers we're now kissing passionately while continuing their administrations on the other they eventually give a tongue kiss to heat up the intimate moment. It wasn't long since both of them were masturbating rapidly both were now reaching their limit it seems both were going to climax at the same time together. They broke the kiss gazing at each other smiling from the pleasure both could tell that they were close to reach their orgasms.

"OOOhhhhh Naruto-kun I can't hold it any longer I'm about to cum!!!"

"Me too Sakura-chan don't stop now!!!"

Both ninjas gave each other one final stroke and rub before they felt pure bliss and pleasure from their hard work efforts. Sakura smiled seeing some cum felt from the tip of Naruto's cock but he hasn't fully reached his climax it early pre cum, while she was also releasing some early of her own juice.

"I'm coming!!!"

"I'm coming too Naruto-kun aaaahhhhh!!!"

Naruto opened his eyes waking up from his hot arousing fantasy with his pink haired dream girl. He figured it was morning already as well as his morning wood but he knew something was wrong. He realized that his boxers were filled with his own cum it seems his got an involuntary orgasm from the intensity of his dream. He sighed he needed to wash himself never thought he will came from experiencing one of his many sexual dreams with the cherry blossom witch that has put him in her love spell since he was little. But he still couldn't get through what was going on in her head remembering the two kisses she gave him, at the training field and after Tsunade's funeral. Why would she kiss him when she has Sasuke she loves the Uchiha she's his girlfriend so why would she waste her time with him? Why kissed him when she's finally together with the boy she has always loved since she was little. He thought that perhaps she was playing with him that she was just messing with him when she really love Sasuke, she was just torturing him for her own amusement. He shrugged his to erased that horrible thought he knew Sakura better than that she would never played with his heart like it was all game to her she was never that coldhearted and cruel.

He knew that wasn't true remembering the two kisses she gave him. They were so full of passion and lust so much desire it was impossible to think that she was just pretending to kissed him in a way to ridicule or to torture him. Those kisses have driven him insane not letting him get a good night rest without thinking of the cherry blossom angel. She was now more in his mind ever since those kisses remembering every single of those kisses and his actions towards her. The intoxicating taste of her lips sweet strawberries and cherry blossoms blend together and her smell of pure cherry blossoms like she was a real cherry blossom tree. He smiled when he grope her entire body and he only got moans of approval from Sakura, among those thoughts were the most amazing of them all. When he lifted the skirt from her funeral clothing and touched her nice ass, remembering how big and nice it felt grabbing it with his two hands. The way he squeezed it and she moaned back in full approval loving his action so much it made him so aroused. He spanked her and she moaned in approval remembering she begged him to continue spanking her like she was a naughty girl. Even if he was under the effect of morning wood he was aroused, he got up from his bed and decided to have a cold shower while thinking of Sakura feeling like he wanted to bang his head on a wall.

'Sakura-chan….this is making me crazy I wish I knew what was going on in that head of yours. You love Sasuke so why kissed me the way you did it's like you actually want…..no that's not true it's impossible it will never happen. Sakura-chan belongs to Sasuke I never stood a chance I have come to acknowledged that a long time ago….'

His arousal turned into depression with the thought, he was always a friend to the pink haired medic. It didn't bothered him that she didn't belonged to him. But the most important thing that was making him happy and forget his troubles it was that Sakura was happy with the Uchiha. But right now he was beginning to question her actions especially her feelings. It seems that even with his training with one of the biggest perverts in the world he would never understand the heart of a woman. He would never understand a woman like Sakura even if he already had a girlfriend. He sighed feeling bad at the fact that he hasn't visited Hinata in a while because he was so busy thinking about the pink haired kunoichi. He made a mental note to make it up to her with a date and spending time with her, right now he was failing as a boyfriend thinking about Sakura when it should be the other way around. He finally got up from his bed and went to the bathroom ready to start his day. He went right to the shower thinking that he will spend his day with the Hyuga heiress and might as well work on his apologize speech for not spending time with her, or even thinking about her for the matter. At least he knew she was doing all right since she got over her hangover which surprised him a lot to know that Hinata will actually get drunk or even drink sake. It showed him how much she has changed over the years.

'I hope Hinata-chan isn't angry at me a date will be enough to make her happy.'

(Location: below the Nakawa shrine Uchiha clan district Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)

Sasuke was walking the dark stair case holding s torch that lead underground below the shrine where the clan used to have their meetings. To think it was the same building where his clan plotted the rebellion against Konoha leading for the elders to give Itachi the order to kill the entire clan. He grimaced at the thought he was still suffering from the wounds of the horrible past of the hell he suffered at the hands of the elder's decision. The same hell Itachi went through for the sake of peace in the village and sparing his life because he cared a lot for his little brother more than the village itself. He erased the memories as he continued to go further down into the dark staircase reaching his destination. He finally reached the entrance to the secret place of the Uchiha clan where their secret were kept in documents, it the same place where he found the scroll about the magenkyou sharingan and the ability to control the Kyuubi like Itachi and Madara told him. He stopped before entering the cave sensing someone he realized he wasn't alone in the underground chamber.

"Come on out you two!"

Suddenly the two ANBU that are always watching him appeared in front of him while the Uchiha wasn't happy to see them here of all places. It didn't bothered him that they were always keeping an eye on him wherever he go but this wasn't the place for them to be which it was the reason for him to be a little upset.

"What are you doing here?"

"This place is off limits to anyone from the village without the full permission from the Hokage" one ANBU replied wearing a bear mask.

Sasuke looked annoyed at the comment" that's how it is I'm here because this is part of my territory if you don't know that the Hokage has given me my rights again as the heir of the Uchiha clan. I can come here whenever I feel like it you two on the other hand shouldn't even be here to begin with. The Hokage has given the order that you should start your spy duty on me when I leave the Uchiha district. So I will ask again why you two are here….the real reason?" his onyx eyes glared at the two ANBU.

"This place is consider forbiddenit proves how much the Uchiha has hid from the Konoha" replied the same ANBU.

"You're giving me the same answer as earlier I'm not in the mood. Why don't you leave now before I tell the Hokage that you have disobeyed his orders?"

'Arrogant bastard' one of the ANBU thought looking at him in disgust and anger.

Sasuke gazed at them. Even with their masks on he could tell that they were glaring at him with a lot of anger. They were part of the many people that hated him for only seeing him as a traitor and honestly he didn't care. He was happy because they were people who care about him and didn't care about his past as the traitor avenger and have come to accept him as their friend. He thought about his team and the rest of the rookies. He has come to realized that not all people will come to like him and trust him so the only thing left to do is to ignored them and let them holding their hatred for him.

"Didn't you hear me I said get the hell out of here you're not welcome here?!" Sasuke said.

"I think it was a mistake to give you power you don't deserve it…"

"I know I know I'm a traitor you don't trust me you hate me and you want me dead. That's it I have heard all of them before now leave!" he glared at them as the ANBU vanish the dark chamber.

'I will tell Kakashi about this he should kick off those two from the division and have them replace.'

He finally went to the front of the chamber where the pedestal containing the secret scroll of the Uchiha clan. He picked up and started reading remembering the information he read long ago when he was twelve, everything was there about the sharingan and the magenkyou sharingan. Its true power to control the nine tails fox demon proving that it was indeed Madara who summoned the Kyuubi to attacked Konoha but it was luckily stopped thanks to the fourth Hokage. He sighed there was no need to read the document anymore he knew about everything the secrets of the clan were now his. He needed to make sure no one else knows about this since he already told Kakashi and he has kept the information top secret. He gazed at the wall where the Uchiha crest was painted the symbol of the Uchiha clan which it was the fan. How many times he thought he wanted to see everyone at least for one last time but he knew that he was asking the impossible. Before he left taking the scroll with him something caught his eye, there was something strange about the wall where the Uchiha crest was painted. Maybe he was imagining things but he couldn't help it that something was not right.

'I can feel it….I never actually notice it the many times I came here…this feels like….'

He gasped in realization as he activated his sharingan with his bloodline activated he finally notice the difference and his suspicions were true. With his sharingan he could clearly see it than any other person would the wall had something that it didn't made it the way it looks.

'Genjutsu….and judging by the large amount of chakra concentrated in the wall it's a strong one. Probably strong enough so that not one notices it, which means this wall could be a fake.'

He made a hand seal pointing to the wall" release!"

Suddenly the only thing that was different now is that on the middle of the Uchiha crest there was now a small round pedestal. Sasuke was curious obviously the pedestal resembles some kind of switch and without giving it another thought he pushed the switch from the inside. He was surprised that the wall of the chamber opened revealing a secret path leading further down the chamber. He put the secret scroll in his pocket holding his torch and started walking the secret path.

'I knew it…a secret passage the members of the clan did this, they casted a strong genjutsu to hide the presence of the switch so that it will be detected with the sharingan. Whatever is beyond this passage must be something big something that the clan could consider it a secret…'

He walked the dark passage with his torch giving him the light he needs to see around the place. It was a long pathway until he reached a dead end. His sharingan eyes widened when he saw at the dead end a large table with the Uchiha crest carved on the top of the tablet. He saw the letters in the table were glowing with chakra meaning that he was able to read the inscription using his sharingan. He read all kind of information within the engravings he saw the symbol of the sharingan bloodline and other things. But there was one thing that caught his attention completely as he read the large stone tablet he just found out about a big revelation which it was too shocking for him to believe. He continued reading everything in order to know more of the inscription while he was shocked the information seems to have taken a strong effect on him.

'Jyubi….sage of the six paths what's all of this?'

The information was probably too much for him he didn't know if it was true. But why would his clan have the stone tablet with such information that seems farfetched although with everything he has heard this could be all true. But it made sense as much as it sounded impossible not to mention that the stone table was kept under a secret passage to prevent anyone outside of the Uchiha clan from knowing the truth. This was information that could put the entire world in danger and the possibilities of a war were inevitable as he started thinking about a certain Akatsuki.

'Madara must know about this as well as Itachi did….everyone in the clan must have know about this but why keep it a secret? At least I have a clue what Madara could be up to with the Bijuus. It only sickens me to know that I was actually helping him in his cause revenge has really blinded me from everything….should I tell Kakashi about this?'

He left the cave with that in mind holding the secret scroll in his pocket. As soon as he was out of the secret chamber the wall closed back and the genjutsu cast automatically the switch was gone once again. He went back to climb the stairs thinking of the many secrets his clan has kept hidden from everyone in Konoha. Looks like the Uchiha clan didn't trusted anyone to keep these kinds of secrets from the rest of the village, it only proof how much distrust they had for the descendant of the Senju clan. Now it was up to him to reveal this information to the village top class information they have the right to know although he was feeling hesitant for unknown reason. He left the underground secret passage and he was now in the room of the Nakakwa shrine where the secret passage was. He left without thinking anything else now he didn't know if he should tell Kakashi until the time was right or maybe he was being stubborn and his pride as an Uchiha to keep the secret was clouding his judgment.

(Time skip)

(Location: Nara residence Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)

Temari arrived at the residence with a smile on her face. The journey to Konoha was really worthy since she had good news to tell to her lazy boyfriend regarding her decision whether she will stay in Konoha or return to Suna and stay in her village. After a couple of weeks of hard thinking she has finally come up with the best way to solver her problem that will benefit both villages. She was getting anxious and she couldn't wait to tell Shikamaru knowing he was going to like the news and hopefully he won't say his usual trademark troublesome. She happily knocked on the front door thinking of seeing his happy face after finding out about her decision probably he will be speechless and won't complain like he usually does. She started humming a happy tone to contain her anxiety as she waits for the door to be answer she smiled when the door slid open revealing Nara Yoshino as the older woman smiled at her.

"Oh if isn't it Temari how are you?!"

"I'm doing fine Mrs. Nara I'm glad to be back at Konoha. Is your son here?"

"Yes Shikamaru is here he's having lunch with us would you like to join us?" smiled Yoshino.

"It's all right Mrs. Nara I don't want to bother you."

"Nonsense dear you and Shikamaru are back together so that makes you part of the family come on in."

"So lazy bones told you already eh?" replied the sand jounin with a smirk.

Yoshino giggle at her nickname for her son which describes him perfectly" yes he did and he was very happy when he told me. He wasn't sighing a lot or brooding like he usually does I'm actually glad you two got back together, I'm happy my son has a strong will woman who can put him in his place whenever he acts like a lazy ass. You have my full permission to smack some sense into him when he needs it."

Temari grinned" don't worry Mrs. Nara he's in good hands I will put him in his place when the time comes" 'and I will also ride him hard like he was a wild stallion' she added mentally giving a mental perverted grin.

"I'm proud to have such a great daughter in law!" Yoshino smiled happily" let's get going to the dining room they're waiting for us."

Yoshino closed the front door leading Temari through the house. They reached the house allowing her to get seated on the table with Shikaku and Shikamaru who were eating their lunch. Yoshino glared at the two which they know that look from the older woman who reflected disapproval and anger, they knew they were going to get scolded by the Nara.

"You two it's not polite to start eating without the whole family present" Yoshino was still glaring at her husband and her son.

"We didn't know we have company coming" replied Shikaku staring at Temari.

"Hey lazy bones" Temari said with a smile at her boyfriend.

"Oh it's you" Shikamaru said in his usual lazy tone.

A vein popped on the forehead of the sand jounin glaring at him" what do you mean oh it's you aren't you glad to see me again?!"

"I guess…." replied the lazy jounin eating some shrimp with his chopsticks.

'I swear he's looking for a beating' thought the frowning Temari.

"Shikamaru mind your manners with Temari you should be happy that she's here to eat lunch with us, after all she's part of the family so you better treat her with respect or else" Yoshino said with a serious that will make any man crap their pants.

"I will have to agree you hear that lazy ass" replied the sand kunoichi trying to hold her anger because of her boyfriends' unhappy attitude for seeing her again.

"Yeah yeah whatever….troublesome women"

"Quit your whining!" both Yoshino and Temari said in unison.

'Troublesome' thought Shikaku and Shikamaru in unison.

"Anyway here you go Temari we hope you enjoy your stay with us as always" Yoshino said.

"I'm always happy to be here with my new family but right now I'm not so sure" she frowned staring at her boyfriend.

Shikamaru smiled at her" I wouldn't want it any other way to have you here in the village."

Temari sweat dropped" what's with the change in attitude just now you were so happy to see me again?" she added the sarcasm which it was very noticeable.

"I was just kidding I'm glad you're here sometimes you women always take things way too seriously."

"Shikamaru you should never joke around when it comes to playing with a woman's heart" Shikaku replied noticing the angry expression from both his wife and the sand jounin.

"I didn't say anything to hurt her" complained the Nara.

'Sometimes he can be dense like Naruto' thought the annoyed Temari.

"Finish your lunch already Shikamaru!" Yoshino said in a scolding tone.

The lazy jounin sighed as he resumed his eating gazing at his girlfriend who began eating and she was enjoying the food" so Temari if you're here then that means that you have solved the thing we talked about."

Temari smiled at him happy to have his full attention and knowing that he was interested in the topic, she took another bite from shrimp before speaking" I did solve that little problem like I told you I was going to make sure to make the right decision this time and that's what I did."

Shikamaru was anxiously waiting for her answer as well as both Shikaku and Yoshino. Both knew that their son wasn't happy or he wasn't the same since Temari wasn't in the village and even if it was troublesome to think about it, he missed her a lot.

The Suna kunoichi smiled" it's very simple when I thought about it honestly I don't know why I didn't thought about it in the first place."

"Come on can you just tell us already what is it?" Shikamaru said getting inpatient.

She giggled at his comment" well lazy bones were going to build a Suna station right here."

"A what?" asked the lazy jounin.

"A Suna station you mean like an administrative building?" asked Shikaku.

"That's correct I asked permission from Gaara and he agreed to have a building representing the hidden sand village in Konoha. We will be taking care of any missions and assignments that resolve with Suna, as an ally village this will benefit both villages."

"With a Suna station in Konoha it will be a wise move in politics deepening the alliance with both villages" replied Shikaku.

Temari nodded" that's what I thought too it also shows that both villages can work as equals, the Suna station is like a having a small part of the hidden sand village inside of Konoha."

"It doesn't sound like a bad idea I guess you have made a good decision after all" Shikamaru said smiling at her because he now knew she was going to stay here with him.

"Congratulations Temari!" Yoshino said with a smile.

"I guess you'll be moving to Konoha then?" Shikaku said.

"I will I already asked permission from the Hokage to start building the station it will take a couple of months for the construction. I also have to return to Suna to pack my bags my squad will also be coming here since they will be working with me at the station."

"You're going to love living in Konoha" Yoshino replied.

"I know…." She replied giving a glance at Shikamaru' I'm already enjoying my stay in the village so far.'

They resumed their eating without saying another word. Shikamaru was happy to know that she will be living in the village with him at least the problem with his heart has been solved. He will usually get bore and a little depressed without the sand jounin by his side, his attraction and feelings for her has become so troublesome for him. Suddenly he felt his leg was being caressed by another leg he was shocked but he hold his reaction while his parents were smiling at him, mostly for getting back together with Temari. He realized that the leg that was caressing his leg was none other than Temari the sand jounin was just eating her lunch while pretending like she hasn't done a thing. He gazed at her and she smiled at him it was a smile that was hiding her true emotion which was lust. He has known her for a while to know when she was turn on just by looking in her eyes and the fact she kept caressing his leg like there was no tomorrow. That was the sign to know that she wanted to some nasty action with him he finished his meal before gazing at his parents and Temari was finishing her meal too.

"Well I'm done I'm heading off I'll see you guys later" he got up from the table.

"I'll be going too" Temari replied smiling gazing at her boyfriend.

Shikaku and Yoshino looked at each other as a married couple for years they already knew what the two ninjas had in mind. So they weren't going to interfere in their intimate relations since both were already old enough to take care of themselves. Shikaku stopped eating his meal because he was already full he just smiled thinking of his son and girlfriend the same with his wife.

"Young love huh?"

"I guess watching those two really reminds me of us when we were younger" replied Yoshino.

"I know it's like looking back into the past, that Temari is so much like you in personality."

"Yes she feels like she's really my biological daughter she has taken all of my habits, even caressing my husband's leg as a sign of sexual arousal I can't be any happier for those two" she smiled.

Shikaku nodded gazing at his plate" sweetheart I'm full I will finish my lunch later."

Yoshino frowned" you will finish your food right now!"

"Yes dear" he replied quickly.

Yoshino grinned in satisfaction seeing her husband resuming eating his plate he was afraid when she got angry. After years of being married it seems her husband still had a great fear for her she really love to have him wrapped in her little finger taking orders from her, she loves controlling her man.

'Looks like I still got it.'

Once Shikamaru left his home he walked the streets of the village when suddenly Temari grabbed his hand. He looked at her who was smiling at him and he recognized that smile anywhere quite honestly he was feeling a little hot himself since he hasn't see his girlfriend in a while and he was like any other man who needed his sexual needs. The sand jounin took a new direction in the street as she led her boyfriend to a dark corner before gazing at him with a playful smile. The lazy jounin gazed at her seeing her lust and desire more looks like she has really missed him but she has made the right decision after all, both of them have admitted that they couldn't live without the other.

"So what do you think of my plan?"

"I admit it was very clever. Like dad said your plan will benefit both villages and strengthen the alliance."

"But most importantly" she replied wrapping her arms around his neck" it will keep us together it was the main reason why I requested the construction of the Suna station here so I could be with you."

She kissed his lips as Shikamaru accept it letting their tongues have a friendly battle. He has really missed her he has truly missed tasting her lips and he didn't wanted her to leave him again. To think this troublesome women like he calls her will become someone very precious to him he never thought about it. He wanted her in his life which he has come to admit a long time ago. They eventually broke the kiss staring at each other's eyes admiring the moment they were sharing.

"You know I still have some time before I return to Suna to pack my things and my squad is probably packing their things to leave as well."

"I think it's troublesome that you have to go again you just got here" whined Shikamaru.

"Don't worry this will be the last time I promise they have begun with the construction of the station. Once I return again to Konoha I will stay here permanently, so how about if we go to a private inn and practice reverse cow girl or we can give anal a try?" she smile seductively at him.

Shikamaru smiled hearing his favorite sex position but he was surprised at the last part" you really want to do that?"

"Anal why not I think it's a turn on to do it in the ass so come on don't be such a lazy wimp and show me what you can do?"

"Whatever just don't complain when it hurts I don't want you yelling at me it will be troublesome."

With that said Temari took his hand and led him through the crowded streets in search of a love inn today it was going to be another day to remember for the odd couple but happy couple. Shikamaru smiled mentally at least he won't be feeling down with her depart since he will sleep with the Suna kunoichi again he has always known women were troublesome and he still believes they are. But Temari was his troublesome woman and he wouldn't want her any other way.

(Location: operating room first floor Konoha hospital)

Sakura sighed as she has finished the operation on a patient who was losing a lot of blood. She along with the medic team managed to stop the bleeding she finished with stitching the wound removing the large glass that made his wound which was inside of him. The piece of glass was big the injury would have been fatal leading to his death if she hasn't performed the operation quickly. Her quick thinking and her patience managed to do the operation successfully with the medic team helping her she made the operation a true success. The older man was now breathing in slowly he was going to be all right proving that she has done it again in saving another life. She removed her medic mask gazing at the sleeping patient whose life no longer in danger she gazed at the medic team was feeling proud at them.

She smiled" phew another successful operation good job everyone."

They nodded as they left the operating room. Sakura went to the waiting area where the patient's family was waiting for the results of the operation. So far in the years she has been in charge of the medic department she hasn't lost a patient, not a single one has ever die when she was the one in charge of the operation or the drastic situation she was in. She smiled going to the women and her daughter to tell her about the results of the operation, the woman saw her as she went to her all nervous and scare with her daughter following her.

"Doctor Haruno how is he is my husband all right?!"

"Is daddy going to be okay?" asked the little girl.

"Don't worry you two the operation was a success he will be fine, he's resting now" Sakura replied with a smile.

The woman started sobbing while she holds her daughter tightly feeling so much joy and relief. Sakura smiled at the joyful sight it was always the same whenever she will save someone's life the patient's love ones will always feel so relief and they will cry tears of joy she has gotten used to those heartwarming moments, even if the sight will always bring her to tears. The woman broke the hug with her daughter and went to her, her tears were still visible.

"Thank you so much doctor Haruno I am so grateful to you."

"Saving lives it's my job no need to thank me."

"Thank you for saving my daddy's life" replied the little girl.

"No problem sweetie just wait for him to get his rest then you can visit him once we move him back to his room" Sakura said while looking at the woman and her daughter.

"Yes thank you again…." replied the woman as she went back to her seat with her daughter following her close by.

"Looks like you're having a busy day as usual."

Sakura smiled looking next to her she saw Shizune. The raven haired woman was smiling although there time she could tell her smile was fake she didn't show it much but she was one of the people who took Tsunade's death hard. She didn't talk much about it but cry and Sakura has decided to help her get through the pain she was also another person who took her teacher's death hard. Both of them were hurt and suffer a lot with the slug sanin's depart but eventually they have overcome the pain and learned to let go knowing she was always going to be remember by the everyone in the village as the fifth Hokage. She gazed down and saw Tonton, the small pig was next to Shizune and it has come to missed her rightful master but eventually moved on and was now spending more time with the raven haired woman.

The pink haired medic smiled" a medic nin's work is never over I got used to having busy days."

"Just like Tsunade-sama taught you" replied Shizune.

"Shizune…" she got worried hoping that she doesn't get depressed by mentioning the slug sanin.

"It's all right Sakura-san I have gotten over her death it hurts but we as ninjas we always have to deal with death every day. It's a normal thing for people like us."

The pink haired woman nodded gazing at Tonton" Shizune sempai I believe animals aren't allow in the hospital."

"Well you will have to make an exception this time Tonton won't leave my side ever since….you know I can't leave her all alone you won't mind if she stays with us?"

"I guess not but anyway I'm finally on my lunch break would you like to join me at the cafeteria I'll buy?"

"Looks like you didn't bring any lunch with you" smirk the older woman.

"I felt lazy this morning so sue me it won't hurt if I don't bring lunch for one day."

Shizune laughed at her laziness" I will take your offer then."

(Konoha hospital cafeteria section)

The two women have bought different kinds of meals and they have gotten seated in the long tables. Sakura ordered some friend chicken with a soup of onions and green tea while Shizune bought some bbq pork with green tean too. Ever since Tsunade's death the two have gotten closer than before since they needed each other to get through their master's death. To both of them the slug sanin was someone close more than just their teacher she was like family, Tsunade became like a mother to both kunoichis one of the people who were precious to them. It was always sad to lose someone precious to you especially someone who was like family but both of them got over the pain of loss together. Every once in a while they will spent time together and talk about things either they will go shopping or go to the library studying more about the field of medicine. They have used the blond Hokage's death as a way to make themselves stronger and better kunoichi and as long as they have their friends everything was going to be all right. Tonton got seated next to Shizune expecting that she was going to give it some food.

"So how are you doing with work?" Sakura said taking a bite from her plate.

"Well working with Kakashi has its limits he's even lazier than Tsunade-sama when it comes to filling the paperwork but everything else is all right. He has been taking his job seriously and he has been acting like a Hokage should act" Shizune took a bite from her plate.

"It's hard to believe that. Have you caught him reading those books?"

"I have and I'm always scolding him not to read them when he's working I swear it's like talking to a little kid, not to mention that he arrives late to his usual working hours" sighed the raven haired woman.

"Yup that's Kakashi sensei all right" the pink haired medic giggle.

"Nevertheless he has proven that he can be a good Hokage when he wants to I'm glad that I got to know him better. It was worth it to date him."

Sakura took another bite from her fried chicken while in deep thought. She remembered it like it was yesterday when she found out that Kakashi and Shizune were dating. She couldn't believe it at first but it was true Shizune was happy with her relationship with the mask Hokage but it didn't last for too long. They only dated for three months before they eventually broke up at least the raven haired woman was grateful for him. They had their intimate moments and they had sex a couple of times most of them were anal, she never thought the mask Hokage was so passionate it seems reading Jiraiya's books really helped him to become a good lover. She felt sorry for her when she found out that he ended the relationship because he was too busy with his job and he just wasn't ready to have a woman in his life but she understood his reason after everything he's been through as a ninja. She could see it in her eyes that she was still suffering from heartbreak and perhaps she may still have some feelings left for him. She wanted to help her but she was having troubles of her own with the whole thing about Naruto. They resumed their eating before Shizune looked back at her with a neutral expression like she was going to regret what she was about to say.

"Sakura-san….there's a reason why I came to you" she started getting the pink haired woman's attention" it's about….that certain matter…"

Sakura stopped her eating when she heard that" Shizune sempai you're not going to talk about…"

"Naruto-kun yes it's about him."

She sighed feeling stress entering her system she has been trying to avoid he topic more than usual" why are you bringing this?"

"I want to know what are you going to do about it."

"What do you mean there's nothing to do about it?!"

"Sakura-san you know very well that you can't leave things like they are…"

"Why not I have been letting things go like this for three years and there's nothing wrong. If I want him to be happy and spend the rest of his life with the woman he loves then there's no need for me to interfere, just how many times must I say it?!"

"Then you won't listen to Tsunade-sama's last words?" Shizune gazed at her looking serious" you won't fulfill her last wish don't you remember what she told you?"

"I…..I…." Sakura couldn't say a word because she couldn't think straight there were no words she could think to answer her.

"As her successor you must surpass Tsunade-sama in everything. You surpassed her in medical skills and in her strength but you must also succeed in love where she couldn't succeed."

"I just can't….I won't do it…." tears were forming on her jade eyes.

"Please Sakura don't make the same mistake I made."

"I had so many chances to accept Jiraiya but my foolish pride go the better of me and now I'm too late to tell him how I feel, the pain I'm feeling right now is horrible it's killing me."

"I won't go through with it like I told Tsunade-sama I have made my choice a long time ago. I won't ruin Naruto-kun's happiness just for a selfish act I will let him be happy and live his life just like it was meant to be."

Shizune gazed down at her plat feeling sorry for her" you know Sakura-san when Jiraiya-sama died Tsunade-sama was devastated. I remember watching her she was crying she was really broken finding out that he was gone I realized right there how much she really loved him. Tsunade-sama rejected him so many times in so many years and when she has finally made up her mind to accept his feelings he dies. The pain she felt was so horrible because she never told him how she felt after so many years she was ready to tell him what Jiraiya-sama dreamed of her saying to him."

She looked at Sakura who by now had tears falling" will you repeat her mistake Sakura-san will you lose the chance to tell Naruto-kun how you feel when you're standing at his grave?"

"Now just wait a minute there that will never happen you hear me Naruto-kun is destine to become the strongest Hokage ever!" she shouted with so much vigor like she knew it was going to happen proving how much faith she had in him.

"I know that Sakura-san I'm just giving you an example what will you do, will you wait until his dying day to tell him you're feelings I think he has the right to know the truth don't you?"

"What do you want me to do to tell him I love you and steal him from Hinata breaking her heart all for because of my selfish actions, well that's something the old Sakura would but not this Sakura never!"

"I'm not asking you to steal him from Hinata-san I'm asking you to tell Naruto-kun how you feel. Just tell him and leave if you don't tell him the pain you have been going through since you let him go will become worst."

"I can handle it I've been handling that pain for three years and I've been getting rid of it seeing his happiness nothing else I need" more tears were falling from her jade eyes.

"If you think that pain you're feeling is horrible you haven't seen anything yet. That pain will grow stronger and worst until it fills your heart and takes over you completely, your life will never be the same. I'm saying this because I care about you Sakura-san I don't want you to end up like Tsunade-sama did heartbroken full of regrets."

"Live your life with no regrets that will be my final lesson to you as your teacher."

"Don't you think it's the right thing to do to follow Tsunade-sama's last words she wanted you to follow your heart unlike she did and unlike her she wants you to find your happiness, before it's too late to do anything at all."

Sakura dried her tears as she no longer had any appetite from having the long talk with Shizune, Tsunade's words were still in her head. Shizune sighed as she finished her meal and got up from the table ready to leave the cafeteria Tonton got next to her waiting to leave too.

"Just think about it Sakura-san either you tell Naruto-kun your feelings or let the pain of never telling him how you feel consume you for the rest of your life don't become like Tsunade-sama in love. Remember that there's a limit for being selfless you deserve happiness too. Thank you for the meal."

Shizune finally left the table with Tonton leaving Sakura with her thoughts. She dried her tears while letting her words sink in her head while still hearing Tsunade's words. She was feeling like everyone was against her they didn't understand that she only wants Naruto's happiness and not her own. Everyone was against her from her best friend Ino to her teacher Tsunade and now Shizune. They didn't understood her or the reason why she was doing all of this, she only laughed remembering the last thing the raven haired woman told her.

'I deserve to be happy….that's a joke.'

(Location: Yakiniku's bbq restaurant village district Konoha)

Naruto and Hinata were hanging out with Kiba and Shino while enjoying some bbq pork. They decided to go to the place where team ten eats which it was Chouji's favorite bbq place. They were laughing talking about the past like the chunin exams when Naruto farted on Kiba's face. That part got the Inuzuka to frowned as he remembers the fight clearly or the horrible smell of the blonds' fart he will never forget that smell. Naruto was laughing with the group but he sensed that something was wrong, at least with his girlfriend. He was expecting to have a date with her and spend some alone time with her, he asked her about it but Hinata told him that she wanted to spend time with her teammates which got the blond jounin's attention. It's like she wanted to avoid spending time alone with him making him believe that perhaps she was upset with him, he thought that it could be about what happened at his apartment a couple of days ago. He remembered that night clearly when they were about to go to the next level of intimacy but he shattered the moment by moaning Sakura's name when he had his orgasm and he really felt bad about that night. He gazed at the Hyuga heiress and he got to know her well, Hinata wasn't the kind of person who will hold her emotions and she wasn't the kind of person who will get angry with anyone which made him believe that she wasn't angry with him after all. He could be thinking too much about the whole thing or perhaps he was just over reacting, but it made him wonder his girlfriend's intentions. She hesitated when he asked her out on a date like she didn't wanted to be alone with him. No doubt about it that there something bothering her.

"I'm saying he was lucky" Kiba said talking about his fight against Naruto in the chunin exams while taking a piece of pork into his mouth" I made a mistake when I went to his rear that's all."

"That may be but they say luck is also part of someone's strength" Shino replied.

"Oh yeah that's true and back then Naruto had the most luck than anyone" replied the Inuzuka.

"Naruto-kun wouldn't be the most unpredictable ninja in the village if he didn't had any luck right?" Hinata said smiling.

"That's right I really did gave you such a humiliating defeat huh Kiba?" Naruto grinned.

"Whatever Naruto you don't have to rub it in my face!"

"Nope you sniffed it remember?" the blond jounin was still grinning.

Kiba growled while Naruto and Hinata shared a laugh and Shino calmly took a bit from the bbq. He didn't find the joke funny but he respected his friends and he thought it wasn't appropriate to laughed because of a rude joke commented about one of his teammates. Akamaru was seated next to his master while the Inuzuka gave him some of his share of pork mumbling something about his match against Naruto winning by pure luck of a fart.

"Don't be a sore loser Kiba we can have a nice sparring match later or when do you feel like it" replied Naruto.

Kiba grinned at his comment" I would love to have a rematch with you but I'm not stupid. I know how strong you have gotten since our fight at the chunin exams you have defeated Akatsuki members including the guy who destroyed the village. I'll be crazy to fight you."

"I guess that's a little true" replied the blond.

"Only a little?" Shino said" Naruto you're probably the strongest ninja in Konoha maybe even stronger than the Hokage."

Naruto blushed from the compliment while scratching the back of his head in embarrassment" come on Shino is not that big of a deal."

"It is" replied the Aburame" you have become from an untalented prankster into a very strong ninja I believe it won't be long before you become the next Hokage."

"I will have to agree with Shino on that one. I remember how terrible you used to be in controlling your chakra you were really a loser who didn't have what it takes to become a ninja."

The blond frowned at his comment" shessh thanks for making me feel so much better Kiba."

"But you showed us how wrong we were about you. You changed our minds and view of how we used to think of you, we all thought you were a dead last and we were wrong. You showed us that you were capable to become a ninja and fulfill your lifelong dream, every one of us has gained a lot of faith in you because we all believe in you" Kiba said while Akamaru barked in agreement.

"I agree with Kiba-kun it's the same reason we have gotten stronger because you have inspire us all, even me" Hinata said with a smile before getting to deep thought.

"Thanks guys I'm glad to know you all feel that way" Naruto smiled taking a bite from his pork' yet I haven't found a solution to bring peace and my feelings for Sakura-chan, I just don't know what to do.'

"Enough with flattering Naruto how about we change the topic So Shino how about you tell us about your life?" Kiba said looking at his teammate.

"My life?" replied the Aburame.

"Yeah we haven't heard from you in a while I know you're busy with ninja work. But you haven't been spending time with us it's like you were busy with something else" the Inuzuka gave a grin.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" he replied pretending he didn't have a clue.

Naruto grinned" oh I know maybe he has found a girlfriend."

"Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking!" Kiba replied still grinning.

Hinata just rolled her eyes at her two friends although she had a feeling that was the case knowing that Shino was shy in some topics.

"Well Shino are you going to tell us the truth do you have a girlfriend?" the Inuzuka was still grinning with Naruto.

The Aburame sighed" you won't stop troubling me with that matter so I will tell you. Yes I do have found someone I have become interested in she's fun to hang with."

"Ha I knew it you have a girlfriend I got suspicious when you stopped showing to our usual hangout spots!" replied the happy Kiba.

"I guessed right congratulations Shino!" Naruto said happily' knowing Shino she's probably all serious like him' he sweat dropped.

"Thank you I appreciate it."

"Congratulations Shino-kun how about telling us about her?" Hinata said happy by the news.

"Of course her name is Sayeki she's a researcher that studies on insects she's very smart and her knowledge of insects is very impressive. We met a month ago and we have been dating since then we got along just fine."

'So she's serious like him?' thought Naruto.

"Oh so you found yourself someone who shares your tastes?" Kiba said smiling.

"I'm happy that you have found someone precious Shino-kun" Hinata replied.

"Thank you I am happy" said the Aburame.

"So when can we meet her?" Naruto said.

"Yeah I will like to know her too Shino" Kiba said.

"Me too she must be a wonderful person" Hinata said.

"Perhaps you can all meet her next time she's working right now, she works in a greenhouse and she's always busy. Maybe I can talk to her and make arrangements to meet her. I think she will be happy to meet all of you."

"That would be wonderful I really like meeting another girl to have as a friend" replied the Hyuga heiress.

They stood quiet as they resumed their eating. Naruto started eating the bbq pork while Kiba was eating and giving some to Akamaru while Shino just eat normal not too quickly like his other friends. Hinata stopped her eating she was in deep thought again she took a glance at her boyfriend. She has been thinking so much about it but she needed to do it now. She has finally made her decision and she believed this was the right thing to do, base on the fact that she hasn't being spending enough time with Naruto. She also knew that the feelings she held for the blond jounin aren't strong or pure to be real feelings although what she had in mind was going to hurt her a lot. This was going to be the hardest she has ever done right now she needed a lot of courage to go through with this. She gazed at her boyfriend one more time feeling sorry for him but this was for the best there was no turning back now, to her this was the right thing to do.

"I'm done me and Naruto-kun are leaving we'll see you guys later."

"We are?" asked Naruto confused at her comment thinking that they were going to stay a little longer.

"Yes I want to spend time with you Naruto-kun" she smiled at him although her smile was fake.

"Okay we'll see you later love birds" Kiba said while Shino nodded.

The couple left the restaurant leaving the two jounins to continue eating their meal.

"That was fast" Kiba said.

"Something must be wrong with them" replied Shino.

"They are probably going to some inn to get it on they are a couple I don't see nothing wrong."

"Hinata seems to be very uncertain something must be bothering her."

"Nah you're thinking too much Shino those two are fine" replied the Inuzuka getting back to eating the bbq pork.

Hinata led Naruto to a small corner near a bench. She wanted to make sure that they were alone for what she was about to tell him. She felt her heart beating fast because she was feeling nervous, scare was the appropriate word. She felt like she couldn't say the words for what she was about to do and hoping he doesn't get crushed by her words. He was gazing at her with some puzzlement not knowing what was going in his girlfriend's head, at first he thought they were going to have a date since it's been a while since they had gone out together. But her expression said otherwise she looked so sad like she was hurting or like was dying on the inside. Hinata took every bit of her strength and courage so she could go through with what she had in mind knowing that it wasn't going to be easy, as she was holding the urge to cry. She gazed at him trying to force a smile but she failed while he was still looking at her in puzzlement.

'Please give me the strength to do this….I must get through this….'

"Hinata-chan you okay?" asked the worry Naruto.

"Yes Naruto-kun I'm fine don't worry I….."

The blond jounin put his hands on her shoulder looking at her with concern in his cerulean eyes" Hinata-chan please tell me what's wrong you have been acting weird back at the bbq restaurant?"

The Hyuga heiress sighed" you're right…..Naruto-kun something is wrong with me. I….there's something I must tell you it's important…."

"What is it?" he asked still worried because she has actually lied to him that there was nothing wrong with her.

"We have to talk it's something that I've been thinking for a while and I think it's time we talk about it."

Naruto finally realized what she was talking about remembering when he had the conversation with her" oh you must be talking about the wedding thing right?"

"No Naruto-kun it's not about the wedding I….we have to talk about….us" her voice broke in a soft sob.

"Us?" the blond was confused but he was also shocked at her statement" what do you mean?"

"Naruto-kun…..for three years we have been together and I can't be any happier that I spend those three years with you. I am happy with our relationship and I have come to enjoy your company more than ever, you have become someone precious to me for that I am very grateful."

The blond jounin smiled at her comment but he felt like something wasn't right. Why was she telling him this now, he knew something was very wrong and he couldn't put his finger in it he didn't know why he was feeling so nervous.

"But something has happened in those three years we've been together. It was something I realized and I couldn't go through with admitting it which it's why I keep denying it. But I finally realized it was true….that all of these time when I was together with you the strong feelings I have for you they aren't….to those that involve love…."

"What?" Naruto felt his heart stopped hearing the last part hoping it wasn't true what he has in his mind.

Hinata kept her gazed at him hoping to have more courage to continue talking" ever since we were at the academy, you were the one that gave me courage and the confidence I needed to become strong and inspire me to be a better ninja. You changed me for the better that smile of yours make me feel so happy to be alive…."

Naruto chuckle" I already know Hinata-chan you told me when you confessed to me remember?"

The Hyuga heiress nodded remembering her confession" I will never forget that day….Naruto-kun you inspire me and that's why I developed feelings of inspiration for you. They were so strong that I eventually thought that they were true feelings of love I didn't know what they really were. Every time you were near I always felt happy but I couldn't say a word to you because of my shy personality I would just stuttered or faint. But now that I got together I realized that my feelings for you are of deep admiration they weren't as true as I thought they would be…."

Naruto's eyes widened fear has fallen on him not believing what he was hearing" Hinata-chan what are you saying?"

Hinata took a deep breath facing him" Naruto-kun….I think it's time for us to see other people."

Naruto's eyes widened hearing the horrible truth this was what she wanted to tell him. The reality hit him hard thinking he was having a bad dream but he knew she wasn't dreaming this was really happening. Just listening to her words one time was enough for him to understand what she was telling him for someone dense like him.

"Hinata-chan you're….ending our relationship?" he looked at her with hurt in his expression" why?!"

"It's necessary Naruto-kun our relationship isn't going anywhere and both of us don't share the same feelings we never felt them to be mutual. I love you but as a close friend it took me three years to realize that and I'm sorry if it took me that long to realize it you must have been aware too."

Naruto's eyes softened but deep inside he knew the truth. He hasn't spent enough time with the Hyuga heiress and even when they were together they seem to keep their relationship like it was something between close friends. They have practiced oral sex but that's it they haven't taken the next level of intimacy yet, in addition that they haven't share a kiss in a while either. The cold truth that whenever he kissed her or when they were practicing oral sex he was only thinking about Sakura. She was always on his mind and in his heart it was an inevitable curse called true love that kept hitting him hard. To him reality sucks big time no matter how hard he tried to love Hinata he couldn't do it he failed miserably to acquire feelings for her. He already has deep powerful feelings for someone else, for the pink haired medic nin he has love for years and the same girl he has endured a large amount of pain for her, for the sake of her happiness. He gazed at Hinata seeing the honesty and hurt in her pale eyes, she really meant her words. He only needed to face the truth that she was breaking up with him, she was letting him go.

"Hinata-chan….I can't believe you're doing this. I know that I haven't being a good boyfriend lately and for that I'm sorry, I promise that from now on I will be there for you always so please don't do this!"

"You know what I'm saying is true I know that you never had any romantic feelings for me. I always knew that I wasn't going to be the one fill that big part in your heart, it's pretty clear someone else has filled that empty space in your heart. You know it as well as I do and probably everyone in the village that there's only one woman in Konoha Uzumaki Naruto will always love isn't that right?" she smiled while tears were already falling doing this was harder than she ever thought.

The tall blond couldn't take it anymore tears started forming at the corner of his eyes as he lowered his gaze not wanting to look at her anymore feeling hurt because she was right. It was such a predictable truth that he couldn't deny and it was too obvious of his feelings for the pink haired woman. The cherry blossom that stole his heart years ago and put him under the spell of love on him, he will lover her forever until it kills him.

"I'm sorry Hinata-chan I'm sorry because I couldn't be the boyfriend you wanted me to be. I tried….I really tried so hard to love you and accept your feelings, for three years I tried and I failed. I just couldn't love you and I hate that if you want to hate me then go ahead and hate me, I deserve it."

"No don't say that it's not your fault Naruto-kun. I can't make you fall in love with me the same for you to love me when you already have strong feelings for someone else because that's not how it works. But don't feel bad I have enjoyed being with you as your girlfriend I have come to see you as someone very close and precious like a best friend. For that I thank you very much for everything you did for me I actually like the oral sex too" she laughed slightly feeling embarrassed mentioning the topic.

Naruto let his tears fall he gave the Hyuga heiress a tight hug and she returned it as both let their tears fall. Both feeling pain from ending their relationship of three years they shared good times as well as bad neither of them regretted any of their moments. But all good things must come to an end at least for their relationship, although it was a fake relationship in equal romantic feelings they chose to cherish those moments happy that they got together and give it a try to how far it was going to go. They finally broke the hug gazing at each other's eyes and they smiled thought it was painful they smiled for the comfort that it was going to be all right.

"Were still friends right?"

Hinata let more tears fall before smiling" of course were still friends what kind of dumb question is that will always be my friend Naruto-kun?"

"Thanks Hinata-chan you're important to me as everyone from our group of friends. I will always be your friend no matter what believe it!"

"I wouldn't want it any other way" she replied with a smile.

They gave each other one final kiss before ending their relationship for good their last kiss as an official couple. They know once they broke the kiss it will finally be over for them or the term us. They enjoy the kiss before calling it a quits and move on with their rightful lives, the good thing is that they will never stop being friends their friendship will be unbreakable. After all Hinata has become another powerful blond for Naruto just like his teammate from team seven.

(Apartment complex Konoha village district)

Sakura has entered her apartment after finished her shift for the day. The tire pink haired medic sighed it was another tiring day in the hospital and she was feeling hungry. She headed to kitchen to make some instant ramen since she was too hungry and didn't felt like cooking. She made a mental to take a warm shower later her feet were killing her. Maybe after she was done she could give Ino a call and maybe she will go shopping with her, shopping was a girl's best way to get rid of stress. After what happened she was still friends with the Yamanaka even if the blond didn't like that she was holding the truth of revealing her feelings to a certain blond jounin. As she took the ramen cup he came back to her mind, just looking at the ramen cup reminded her of the blond knuckle head she has developed strong feelings, the same blond she has slowly fallen for. She waited for the water to boil before adding the ramen, she smiled slightly knowing that Naruto hates the three minutes for the water to boil. There she goes again thinking about Naruto she really hated that one minute she's thinking about one thing and the next she's thinking about the tall blond. She only hoped that he was having fun with Hinata as she speak expecting that the Hyuga heiress masking him happy with their relationship before she wonders how long till their wedding, although she didn't wanted that day to arrive.

She opened the cup releasing the ramen on the boiled water before she used a spoon to steer the casserole. So far she hasn't said a word about her break up with Sasuke she didn't want to create a big fuss about it, knowing how the people in the village love to gossip especially Ino. Another reason she didn't want to say a word about it is because she doesn't want Naruto to find out, knowing that the blond will be upset about the news. She knows him too well and Naruto believes she can only be happy with the Uchiha it will be better if she kept quiet about her break up. The ramen was ready and she poured it in a bowl, grabbing her chopsticks she started eating thinking that she was having ramen with Naruto at his favorite ramen place Ichiraku's. She enjoyed the hot ramen until she heard a knock on her front door.

"Come in its open!"

She heard the door opened and closing when she saw Sasuke entering to the kitchen she smiled at him happy to see him" hi Sasuke-kun!"

"Hey…" he replied seeing the ramen she was eating" I hope you don't become a ramen addict like Naruto."

The pink haired woman giggled at his comment" nah I'm just feeling lazy and don't feel like cooking so ramen is the quickest food there is to make."

"Another tough day at the hospital?" he asked he already knew how hard she works at the hospital and sometimes she pushes herself to the limit.

"Yeah I'm feeling hungry and tire I'm so glad I finished my shift for today now all I have to do is take a nice shower and my day will be made."

The Uchiha was in deep thought noticing that she was tire perhaps he has come at a bad time. But he needed to get this off his chest it's been killing him not telling her the truth although he wasn't expecting her to get all happy and thrill about it. He saw her resuming eating her ramen all happily he had to smirk a little, the way she was eating reminding him of the way Naruto eats ramen like his life depended on it. He made a mental a sigh it was now or never he will never forgive himself if he doesn't tell her the truth.

'Here goes nothing then….' he gazed back at the pink haired medic" Sakura?"

"Hmm…." she replied looking at him her whole mouth was filled with noodles which it was a very funny sight and Sasuke couldn't help but chuckle, she swallowed the noodles before speaking" what is it?"

"Look….there's something I have to tell you. I've been wanting to tell you this for a while now so listen okay?"

Sakura heard the seriousness in his tone no doubt it was something important" sure…."

"It's about Naruto" he finished not breaking eye contact with her.

"What about him?" her expression was uncertain but she was feeling worried for some reason.

"First of….I must ask you a question do you trust me?"

"Why are you asking me that?"

"Just answer me!"

"Yes….I trust you Sasuke-kun what's going on?" Sakura was worried about his behavior.

"I must tell you Sakura the truth about Naruto and his relationship with Hinata."

"What are you talking about what truth?!" she was starting to get upset.

"Sakura the truth is….Naruto doesn't love Hinata I mean it. He doesn't love her."

"What….." Sakura's voice sounded so empty like she was in a state of shock.

"You heard me he doesn't love Hinata their relationship is fake like ours. Naruto only loves you he always has and he will continue to love you. So you see you don't have to pretend like you're very happy, you don't have to keep holding all that pain inside you anymore because he loves you and only you!"

He waited for her answer while staring her and he couldn't tell what was going on inside her head. Ever since he said those words Sakura stood quiet her expression was like she was in some kind of trance her eyes were wide from the shock but no words would come out from her mouth. But soon her expression took a distant change when she glared at him with so much anger like she wanted to kill him. The Uchiha was shocked at her cold glare but he was expecting this kind of reaction from her he knew it wasn't going to be pleasant. He knew she wasn't going to be happy or even give a small smile that she was glad to hear the revelation.

"Sakura…." He said while taking a step back because he has never seen her this angry before.

Her glare send him shivers on his spine" you….how dare you what the hell is wrong with you how could you even say such thing?!!"

"I'm telling you the truth Naruto loves you!"

"Stop lying!!" she shouted in anger.

"I'm not lying to you ask yourself why would I lie to you?!"

"I think I know why you just want to destroy Naruto-kun's happiness with Hinata isn't that right?!" she said still glaring at him feeling betrayed" I can't believe it you know I actually thought that you have really change for the better Sasuke…..looks like I was wrong you want to get in his relationship with Hinata."

"I'm not didn't you heard me they are having a fake relationship there's no love in their relationship?!" he replied trying to bring some sense into her and so far it wasn't working.

"I can see it clear now I know why you're doing this. Ino told me that you have been lately spending time with Hinata it seems I was right after all you like her…."

"What?" the Uchiha was puzzle but a part of him on the inside reacted to her statement.

"You like her….of all the women in the village you have to like the heiress of the Hyuga clan. And what a coincidence that she's with Naruto-kun, you want to steal her from him because you're jealous."

"That's enough you don't know what you're saying!"

"Oh I know what I'm saying all right it's about your rivalry with Naruto-kun since the academy. You can't just admit that the same dead last has surpassed you being with a woman from a powerful clan and now you're jealous not to mention that he's also the son of the fourth Hokage the hero of Konoha. I mean you're the heir of the powerful Uchiha clan you deserve someone in the same class and now you want to steal Hinata from Naruto-kun it's all just a game to you" Sakura replied with venom in her voice.

"Shut up that's not it you don't know a thing this isn't about any rivalry it's about the truth!" by now Sasuke was upset with the pink haired medic's verbal assault.

"You want the truth I'll tell you the truth?!" she shouted" you're not a friend you just want to take what it rightfully belongs to you well according to what you think. I thought you were my friend I couldn't have possibly been wrong, but know this I won't let you steal Hinata from Naruto-kun!"

The Uchiha growled" listen to yourself damn it you're not making any fucking sense?!" he glared at her" I have no intention whatsoever to steal Hinata from Naruto because he doesn't even loves her in the first place I told you he loves you. I'm not jealous of him I'm telling you this because I care about you and I want you to know that Naruto has always loved you so stop being so stubborn already!"

Sakura has had about enough of his lies she growled at him" get out!"

"What…..Sakura?"

"Get out of my apartment right now!"

"Don't do this you must believe me I'm not lying to you I promise!"

"I said get out of here now!" by now tears were falling from her jade eyes" as to this day you're no longer my friend thank you for betraying my trust Sasuke" she dropped the suffix.

"Sakura….I"

"Get out now!!!" she punched the counter of the kitchen shattering it to pieces with her super strength.

The Uchiha stood quiet but he didn't want to make her angrier than she already is so he fulfilled her request and left the apartment. He didn't said another word but he knew Sakura was following to the door she wanted to make sure that he was out of her apartment completely. Sasuke reached the front door and opened it he stopped gazing at her who was still letting her tears fall.

"Sakura….I don't want you to continue walking this path I don't want you to continue hurting yourself like this."

"Congratulations you just contributed on that pain hurting me more….friend!" she said the last part with sarcasm.

Sasuke felt hurt by her harsh comment but he finally left the apartment not wanting to say another word to her. Once he was gone Sakura quickly closed the door and she started crying hard while touching her heart feeling it breaking again. She was angry at the Uchiha for saying such none sense about Naruto, of course she knew it wasn't true. Naruto loves Hinata very much they were together and they were going to get marry soon there was no way he would love her or still having any romantic feelings for her. She wanted to curse Sasuke for saying all those lies she wanted to hate him forever and to think she thought of him as a close friend she couldn't be any more wrong. She went to the bathroom to finally take that shower and hoping it could help her calm down and get rid of her anger. She was feeling frustrated now because she had to pay for the counter of her kitchen because she destroyed it during her act of rage She continued to let her tears fall and she only want some relaxation and peace of mind. But she knew she wasn't going to get it after what the Uchiha told her and yet she couldn't believe she was starting to have her doubts. She remembered when Naruto used to love her all the things he did for her and try to keep that smile on her face, things she will never forget for as long as she lives.

'Naruto-kun…..I wonder….it's not true but….'

(Fire tower Hokage office Konoha)

Naruto and Konohamaru were standing in front of the Hokage's desk. They have come to his call when they saw the messenger hawk meaning that he was calling to them, both ninjas were wearing their usual Konoha ninja attire. Naruto wearing his jounin uniform and Konohamaru his chunnin attire like they were ready for the mission that the mask Hokage has in store for them. Both ninjas were a little anxious expecting a very awesome mission, at least for Konohamaru. The young chunin just wanted a mission where he could show his skills and prove to be worthy of a great ninja like him. Naruto on the other hand wasn't so excited like his young friend but he was looking forward to it since he hasn't had a tough mission in a while and he could definitely need some time off away from the village. Perhaps this is what he needs in order to calm about a certain matter or more precise a certain pink haired kunoichi. Both gazed at Kakashi seated in his desk and Shizune who was next to him fulfilling her job as his assistant.

Kakashi smiled behind his mask" you two are here early."

"Of course we are we'll be always ready whenever you call us what kind of ninjas we will be if we don't arrive on time?!" replied the cheery Konohamaru.

"He's right I just hope a certain someone has learned his lesson when it comes to arriving late isn't that right Kakashi sensei?" Naruto said with a grin.

Shizune giggled a little while the mask Hokage coughed to ignore the question" anyway I'm glad you two made it on time."

"So what's the mission?!" asked the anxious chunin" um…you do have a mission for us right?"

"Easy Konohamaru just let Kakashi sensei finish" replied the blond jounin.

Kakashi nodded" I do have a mission for you two it's a B rank mission to be exact. I'm sure you all know that in exactly one month from today the ceremony for the alliance treaty will begin and we will welcome our new allies hidden rain as well as hidden cloud. I already sent Yamato and Sai to deliver the invitation message to the Raikage all is left now is to go to hidden rain and deliver the message."

Naruto nodded" that's where we come in right?"

"That's right you're mission is to deliver the message to the new kage of rain" replied the mask Hokage.

Shizune went to the two handing them a scroll" this is the message for the invitation to the alliance make sure it gets to rain on time."

"We'll do you can count on us!" Konohamaru said.

"Even if we make early preparations for this alliance it's best if we send messages in person representing our village. Besides I'm sure you won't have a problem talking to the kage of rain you already know her Naruto."

"I do?" the blond said puzzle.

"Yes the leader of rain she was a member of Akatsuki and Pain's partner Konan" Kakashi said.

Naruto smiled remembering the blue haired woman who has the ability to use paper as her weapon. The former Akatsuki became her friend after the defeat of Nagato formerly known as Pain she decided to leave the criminal organization and continue protecting the village of rain taking over as the kage of the village. He remembered her words she was going to help him as well as rain because Nagato believed in him and she will believe in him too. She was also the one who gave him the flowers of hope which he used to put them on Jiraiya's grave stone as a memento from the orphans of rain he trained long ago. Now he was going to rain to visit her but as a mission, not that he didn't wanted to see her again he was happy to meet an old friend. He took the message from Shizune before securing it in his kunai pouch he was going to guard the scroll with his life.

"Naruto you're in charge of the mission I'm counting on you to deliver the message to Konan."

"Right don't worry Kakashi sensei we'll deliver the message in no time believe it!"

The mask Hokage nodded" I suggest you gear up for the mission and leave as soon as possible."

"Right!" they said in unison before leaving the office.

"Kakashi is it safe to send Konohamaru and Naruto-kun on their own to rain?" Shizune said.

Kakashi was puzzle by her comment" are you saying you don't believe in them?"

"It's nothing like that I trust them but I don't think it's safe to send only the two of them."

"They'll be fine Naruto is not a kid anymore he's the hero of Konoha destined to become the greatest ninja in the five countries and Konohamaru is following in his footsteps so there's nothing to worry about."

The raven haired woman nodded with a smile seeing how much faith Kakashi had in those two. Maybe she should give the same faith in them as well it hasn't been the same since her teacher died. But she wanted to give everyone the same confidence just like Tsunade did she smiled at the mask Hokage. He was acting like a true Hokage even if he was still a pervert reading those books not to mention that he was secretly working on a novel which it was going to be the next installment of Jiraiya's Itcha Itcha series.

While the two ninjas were walking the halls of the fire tower they meet up with Sakura who was relief to see them at least to see Naruto. The pink haired woman has been dying to know and confirmed if Sasuke's words were true but she knew he was lying. There was no way Naruto loves her since he has been together with Hinata for three years the blond loves her and nothing will change his mind. He wanted to be happy with her and so as she, his happiness was her top priority above everything else. She was more upset and betrayed about Sasuke's words he wasn't her friend not anymore, he was in the way of Naruto's happiness and she wasn't going to let him steal Hinata from him or destroy his happiness for the matter. Naruto and Konohamaru finally noticed the pink haired medic nin in front of them and just like that Naruto's cerulean eyes meet Sakura's jade orbs. So many things as well as feelings rush to both adults seeing their faces but no words could come out of their mouths. The only thing both of them were feelings were the powerful inner feelings they had for each other, feeling that couldn't be replace of shatter they were true and faithful.

Naruto was thinking again about the two passionate kisses he shared with Sakura. He has thought about for over a million times and each time he thought about them it was incredible it only fueled his urge to have another kiss. To taste her sweet cherry blossom lips once again was his desire, the taste was truly intoxicating far better and sweeter than kissing Hinata's lips. To let his tongue battle it out with her tongue in lust and desire, to let his hands roamed around her gorgeous angel like body. To give her pleasure and to hear her moan his name in ecstasy approving every single one of his actions and he wasn't the only one thinking the same thing. Sakura was in the same boat how much she secretly desire him she wanted to taste his lips again how much she yarn for his touch again. When his tongue have a passionate war with her own tongue and when she felt his hands touching her body exactly how she wanted to be touch like he was reading her mind. The way his hand grope her nice firm ass and the answers she received from the tall blond that he loved her nice bottom by spanking her ass. The thoughts made her wet and the urge to have the blond jounin even more her secret feelings were growing even stronger than before.

Konohamaru wasn't stupid since he was already well aware of the situation. Anyone could tell by looking at their faces, they were staring at each other in a dreamy trance who knows what they were thinking about. The thought made him grin and he knew that his friend and rival to become Hokage had a thing for the pink haired kunoichi since it was so obvious and probably almost everyone in the village could tell or they knew already. But for now he decided to stay quiet and let things move on by their own for now.

"Oh Sakurane-chan!" he replied breaking the two ninjas from their sexual fantasies.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" Naruto said giving his usual fake smile which was very convincing.

"Naruto-kun…." She replied giving her own fake smile which was also very convincing.

"Why are you here?" asked the blond.

"I came to talk to you Sai told me before leaving on a mission with captain Yamato that you were here."

"I guess we can talk."

"Hey Narutoni-chan we don't have time for that were suppose to leave for our mission!" Konohamaru said remembering their mission to rain country.

"Right I almost forgot about that" he scratched the back of his head.

"It's all right I understand if you have a mission I don't want to keep you two here. We can talk when you get back" she replied feeling hurt she really needed to talk to him.

"It's all right Sakura-chan we can talk now" Naruto wanted to talk to her he wasn't going to wait until he returns from the mission.

"What but Narutoni-chan?!"

"Konohamaru you go on ahead and prepare your things. Wait for me at the village gates in ten minutes I'll be right there."

The teen sighed" fine but if you don't come in ten minutes I will leave without you."

"Funny you can't do that because I'm the one in charge of the mission and I order you to wait for me at the gates in ten minutes" he replied with a smirk.

"Fine I'll wait bye Sakurane-chan!" he said before walking away from the hall.

Sakura smiled watching Konohamaru leaving before she turned back to the blond jounin who was smiling at her" I'm sorry I know that you have to leave the village soon I didn't mean to get in the way."

"What are you talking about Sakura-chan you're not in the way, I will always be there when you want to talk to me or when you need a friend you already know that. I'm happy that were going to talk."

"Thanks…" she gave a true smile always happy to have him whenever she needs to talk to him.

"So what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I just wanted to know how things were going for you" she sweat dropped thinking it was a stupid excuse to talk to him when he's about to leave for a mission, although it was the truth.

"What do you mean?" Naruto as always being clueless it was no surprise because he was still dense as always.

"Well you know I'm sure that you must be so happy to how your life has turned for the better and I know that you are the happiest guy alive being with Hinata and all."

The tall blond smiled hearing and blinked when he heard about his ex girlfriend might as well tell the truth to his closest friend" Sakura-chan I……about that. About me and Hinata-chan were not together anymore."

The pink haired woman eyes widened turning pale fear consuming her" what?!"

"Yeah we are no longer a couple….we broke up."

As soon as she heard that Sakura got angry and she went to his back and started pushing him off walking from the halls of the tower. No she wasn't going to let this happen it wasn't going to end like this part of her was angry while another part of her was so happy. She couldn't believe that everything she has worked hard for has been for nothing which was the reason why she was angry with her blond friend. Naruto's happiness lies before Hinata and no one else and now she hears that they broke up she was also feeling so guilty for Sasuke, remembering what he told her but she didn't want to admit that it could be true or fearing that the possibility was true.

Naruto was trying to stop her dragging him from the hall way" what the Sakura-chan what's wrong with you?!"

"You….I can't believe you would do that…..now you're going to apologize to Hinata for breaking her heart right now I don't care if you have to go to a mission you won't leave the village until you apologize to her!"

"Wait Sakura-chan you got it wrong!" Naruto managed to escape the kunoichi's strong hold before facing her" you got it all wrong that's not what happened."

Sakura was still looking at him with anger while having the urge to cry" then what you obviously broke up with her and broke her heart in the process?! How could you do that to her Naruto she loves you she really does and you hurt her feelings?!!"

"You got it all wrong Sakura-chan I didn't break up with her Hinata-chan broke up with me!"

"What…..what did you say?" her jade eyes widened in horror feeling fear in her stomach.

"Hinata-chan was the one that ended our relationship it wasn't me."

"It can't be….why would she do that she loves you?" Sakura's upper lip started trembling like she was feeling so scare her heart was beating fast from the horrible feeling that was hitting her gut.

The blond jounin shook his head" no she doesn't I guess after thinking about it I realized that it was better this way. Our relationship wasn't real our feelings were different and we never thought about taking it to the next level. Hinata-chan loves me as a close friend but not as a boyfriend and I also love her as close friend she's precious to me but I…..I never love her for real. I understand now why she did it and I'm feeling fine with it and she feels fine with it too, so there's nothing to worry about because we're still friends!" he gave a big smile.

"I never love her for real….I never love her for real…I never love for real….I never love her for real…"

Sakura stood in shock where she stands her jade eyes were still wide at the realization. The same words were kept repeating in her head over and over again the horrible realization and the truth has finally sink in. She couldn't believe it what she just heard everything she's been through every single sacrifice she made for the sake to keep his happiness with the Hyuga heiress was all for nothing. She wasn't making the blond happy when in truth he never had any romantic feelings for Hinata at all and she was more shocked to find out that the Hyuga heiress didn't loved him for real as she claimed herself. Now she was feeling terrible herself, first of she has been suffering all along to find out that their relationship wasn't real. The second feeling was guilt because of the way she treated Sasuke and for ending her friendship with him. She remembered his words now she knew he was telling the truth he was just trying to help her as a friend she felt worst than before. She felt like going to a corner and cry her eyes out for mistreating him and just like she did with Ino a long time ago she did the same with the Uchiha. She has destroyed her friendship with Sasuke all because she didn't believe him and her stubborn character and pride got the better of her.

Naruto was worried seeing the pink haired woman's expression. She hasn't said a word since he explained to her the reason Hinata broke up with him. It looked like she was in a trance or lost in a dream her mind was obviously not in this planet which it has made him to get more concerned for her. He waved his hand in front of her back and forth waiting to get a response from her but she still didn't move a muscle, she was rigid like a statue. He put his hands on her shoulders if she would reach but she didn't she was still in shock.

"Sakura-chan are you okay can you hear me?!"

"Huh…." Sakura finally snapped from her trance before she blushed realizing that Naruto's face was very close to her" Naru….Naruto…Naruto-kun!" she stuttered.

"Sakura-chan are you all right you had me worried?!" replied the blond jounin.

"I'm fine…..I'm sorry for worrying you…"

"What happened to you?" Naruto was still gazing at her through worry eyes" one minute I was talking to you and the next you suddenly blank out it's like you weren't even here."

"It's nothing I'm fine you're worrying too much Naruto-kun" she gave a fake smile.

"I worry because I care" he replied seriously.

"I know you do but there's no need to get worry when I'm fine. But anyway I think you should get going you don't want to keep Konohamaru waiting for the mission?"

The tall blond gasped" I almost forgot about him he must be so mad that I haven't show up yet I better get going bye Sakura-chan I'll see you again in a couple of days!" he finally left the halls running in a hurry.

"Yeah bye…." she replied softly as tears started were falling from her eyes and she slowly began walking heading to her apartment feeling hurt and broken.

(Time skip: the next day)

(Location: Training field number 5 Konoha forest region)

Sasuke and Hinata were having another sparring match since they have been hanging out more lately as proof that they have become good friends. The Hyuga heiress has been feeling better after breaking up with her boyfriend of course she hasn't said a word to no one because she didn't wanted to create commotion with the village and the gossipers will be spreading the information even more. She feared that her father will find out and he won't be happy in the slightest, it will be best if she kept quiet for now. She gazed at the Uchiha who was dodging her chakra infused palms with his quick speed even in the middle of their match she could that he looked trouble, just by looking into his sharingan eyes. She had this feeling that he was bothered and she suddenly felt the urge to ask what was wrong. After getting to know the Uchiha better he has become very close to her and he was probably one of the people she care and trusted the most the thought made her smiled. Sasuke dodged her palms using his taijutsu to counter although he wasn't enjoying the match so much.

He was thinking about Sakura's words he never thought that her words could hurt him so much. Perhaps because he has come to cherished and treasure his bond with his teammates a lot since he slowly let go of his hatred and desire to have revenge long ago. But now he felt hurt from the words coming from a woman who used to have a silly fan girl crush on him. Someone who used to idolized him and praised the very ground he walked on even if he thought of her as an annoying fan girl back then. But with time Sakura became an important friend and now she has turned down his friendship and she probably hated him after what he told her. He knew she was completely loyal and devoted to Naruto and after what she told her he slammed all of her hard work and sacrifices for the blonds' happiness, even if he was telling the truth. He blocked more palms from Hinata and by now he wasn't paying attention to the match because of his deep thinking. He never saw the incoming palm from the Hyuga heiress that hit him on his stomach sending him to the ground.

"Sasuke-kun!" Hinata gasped in shock going to him checking that he was all right.

"Ouch….." he groaned while feeling the pain of getting hit by an attack from the gentle fist style.

"Are you okay Sasuke-kun?!"

"I just got hit by a chakra infused palm thrust how do you think I feel?" he replied with the sarcasm very noticeable in his tone.

Despite the fact that he was hurt she couldn't helped but giggle at his comment and she helped him get back to his feet" I'm sorry Sasuke-kun I'm glad I didn't used to much chakra on that attack or I could have damaged any organs."

"It hurts but it could have been worst."

"What happened you could have dodged my attack…." she was gazing at him worried.

"I guess I let my guard down."

"But you had your sharingan activated you would have been able to anticipate my attack, you will never get hit by such an easy attack on purpose. I think there's something wrong with you."

"You could say that" he replied looking in deep thought.

"What's wrong?" she asked slightly hoping that he will tell her his problem.

"It's complicated…"

"Maybe you will feel better if you talk about it" she smiled at him pushing him a little so he speaks about his problem.

"Hn…."

"Do you want to talk about it Sasuke-kun?"

"Hn…"

The Hyuga heiress sighed" last I remember we are friends and I think friends talk their problems whenever they feel trouble by them."

"You really want to know that badly?" he looked at her with a small grin.

"Tell you what I will tell you a secret and you will tell me whatever is that is bothering you how's that?"

"Sounds good I guess…"

"All right then I will go first I…." she took a deep breath he was going to be the first person to tell her secret" I broke up with Naruto-kun."

"You did?" Sasuke wasn't so shocked knowing that their relationship wasn't real in the first place.

She nodded" I needed to our relationship was already falling apart since we got together it wasn't real. I enjoyed the times I spent with him but I realized that the feelings I felt for him were just of admiration it wasn't really love. But things change…." she gazed at him' feelings change too.'

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's okay I'm fine with it as well as Naruto-kun he's happy that were still good friends that's what matters the most" she replied with a smile.

Sasuke nodded understanding the whole thing he was happy that Naruto was finally free from a relationship so the chances he could be with Sakura were not so low after all. With her stubbornness and her devotion to make the blond happy it wasn't going to be easy he was way over his head. He was also happy to find out that Hinata was finally free from the relationship although he didn't know why.

"Sasuke-kun promise me that you won't say a word about my break up with Naruto-kun I'm not ready to say a word about it?"

"So I'm the first person you tell?" he gave a small smile happy that she shared the secret with him" don't worry your secret is safe I won't say a word."

"Thank you. I told you my secret now tell me what's bothering you?"

"Sakura hates me" he replied flatly.

"What why would she hate you?!" she got worried keeping her eyes on him.

"I told her that Naruto doesn't love you that he loves her and she got angry with me…."

"Why would she get angry at you for that it's the truth?" Hinata was still confused.

The Uchiha sighed" I…I don't know she thinks that Naruto can only be happy with you and only you. That his destiny is with you and that he only belongs to you, I know it annoys me."

The Hyuga heiress lowered her gaze" she thinks that his heart only belongs to me. Maybe I should talk to Sakura-san."

"Don't you'll be only wasting your time?"

"Why?!"

"Like Naruto Sakura is very stubborn she won't believe a word you say even if we both know that Naruto has loved her since like forever. She got angry at me for saying the obvious and she ended up breaking the counter of her kitchen…."

"But still we have to do something she has to stop being in denial. Why would she think that it's not true that Naruto-kun loves her?"

"I….really don't know" Sasuke mumble he lied he knew the reason of the pink haired woman's denial.

"Naruto-kun is probably the only one who can change her mind he has to tell her" she replied in concern.

"He already left on a mission with Konohamaru but I don't think that will be possible. I'm sure he feels the same way as Sakura he's thinking that she belongs to me and only me, he also hasn't found out that I broke up with her yet."

"What are we going to do?" Hinata gazed back at him her tone was full of concern wanting to help both of her friends.

"Your guess is as good as mine it won't be easy convincing those two. Both are stubborn and hardheaded…."

"Whatever you do Sasuke-kun I will support you!"

"What?"

"You know if you have a plan to bring them together I will help you all the way" she smiled at him.

"Thanks…..I guess…." he replied slightly' the problem is I don't know if I have a plan to bring those two together….'

"By the way" Sasuke started looking at her" what are you going to do about your father he won't be happy when he finds out that you left Naruto?"

"I don't know…." she replied nervously" for now I won't say a word to him."

"You won't be able to keep quiet about it for too long. It will spread throughout the village and he will eventually find out."

"I know…but stay quiet is the only thing I can do for the time being."

The Uchiha gazed at her with an unknown feeling in his heart before speaking again" I….I will support you Hinata…"

"What?"

"I said I will support you whatever you choose about this whole thing….you have…my full support" he said the last part in embarrassment not having a clue why.

The Hyuga heiress smiled with a light blush on her cheeks" I know but thanks for asking."

He nodded before rubbing his stomach still feeling the pain from her attack" damn you really know how to hit I don't want to know how painful it would have been if you used a lot of chakra."

She giggled" I am the heiress of the Hyuga clan my attacks are supposed to hurt. Remember to act tough you're the sole heir of the Uchiha clan."

"Hn….." he replied with a sweat dropped while Hinata laughed.

(Sakura's apartment apartment complex Konoha village district)

Sakura was wearing her medic uniform ready to go to work. She yawned due that she couldn't get any sleep last night because what happened yesterday. So many things have happened and she couldn't stop thinking about them. She first hears from Sasuke that Naruto loves her and not Hinata leaving her to get angry at him and end her friendship with the Uchiha. Then her worst fears come true as Naruto himself confirms that Hinata broke up with him and they were no longer a couple and yet she didn't want to admit it. She has known Naruto for so long and she knew he would never lie to her so it was true there was no doubt in her heart now that he was telling her the truth. She remembered his face when he told her those words he was smiling so happily like it didn't bothered him to have his relationship with the Hyuga heiress as a couple to come to an end. He was really happy to have Hinata as a friend so why she felt like she wasn't happy why was she feeling so down and depressed. How she wished to have the chance that he was available but now she wasn't sure the only thing that came to her mind is cry, let her tears her heart filled with pain and sorrow. She went to the kitchen to get a glass of water before Sasuke's words hit her hard.

"Sakura the truth is….Naruto doesn't love Hinata I mean it. He doesn't love her."

"Naruto loves you he always has and he will continue to love you."

"I'm telling you the truth Naruto loves you!"

"Sakura….I don't want you to continue walking this path….I don't want you to continue hurting yourself like this…."

Tears were falling from her eyes' I screw up I made another mistake. I have ended my friendship with Sasuke just like I did with Ino long ago why the hell do I keep making mistakes?! He was telling me the truth all along why do I have to be so stubborn why couldn't I have believe him?!'

"I don't love her for real…"

"I'm feeling fine with it and Hinata-chan feels fine with it too, so there's nothing to worry about because we're still friends that's what matters!"

"As her successor you must surpass Tsunade-sama in everything. You have surpassed her in medical skills and in her strength but you must also surpass her in love where she couldn't succeed."

"Will you repeat her mistake Sakura-san will you lose the chance to tell Naruto-kun how you feel when you're standing at his grave?"

"Then you won't listen to Tsunade-sama's last words you won't fulfill her last wish?"

"Just think about it Sakura-san either you tell Naruto-kun how you feel or the pain of never telling him how you feel consume you for the rest of your life don't become like Tsunade-sama in love. Remember that there's a limit for being selfless you deserve happiness too."

"Please Sakura don't make the same mistake I made."

"Live your life with no regrets that will be my final lesson to you as your teacher."

Sakura cried loudly letting her tears fall endlessly. She banged her head on the fridge hard a couple of times not caring the horrible pain she was feeling for doing such action. The pain she was feeling in her heart was worst she didn't care if her forehead was bleeding she was a horrible person. Why she should tell Naruto how she feels when she doesn't clearly deserves him what has she done to deserve his love and affection, nothing that was her answer it was simple and obvious. There was blood on the fridge for injuring her forehead and she found this pain quite suitable for her like she deserves it. She chuckle at her punishment to her it was the best punishment she could ever received, this is the crime for being selfish manipulative and for not taking in consideration the feelings of Naruto. She took some of the blood from her forehead with a smile that reflected her enjoyment for the punishment, before she heard the voice of her inner persona.

"Stop doing this right now!"

'Quiet you I am evil…'

"Stop talking none senses this is finally your chance!"

'Chance….for what?'

"What do you think Hinata broke up with Naruto he's finally available it's your chance to finally tell him how you feel?!"

'No he's better of not knowing just let me suffer and leave me alone….I'm bleeding….'

"Don't you get it he doesn't love Hinata Sasuke was telling the truth that means he loves you?!!"

'I don't want to hear it Hinata is the one for him….she has the right to have him if she wants to break up with him that's okay. She will get back together with him that's how it is….you will see.'

"God damn it stop saying bullshit Naruto still loves you after all these years you love him very much too. You finally have the perfect chance to tell him and be together with him and you're going to let it go to waste?!!" inner Sakura shouted in anger.

'So what I'm selfish evil Sakura I don't deserve any love pain is the only thing I deserve….'

"Please don't do this" she replied and by now tears were falling from her inner self's eyes" don't do this, don't let the pain win!"

'Maybe I want the pain to win' she gave a weak smile.

"Stop….I'm part of you and that means I can feel your pain too and it's horrible don't do this. You have a chance to finally make things right and not just me who is telling you this but everyone as well. Ino, Sasuke, Tsunade-sama and Shizune they want you to do the right thing just tell Naruto that you love him!"

'I am doing the right thing and this is it. This is my path and my choice now leave me the hell alone!'

"No don't!!!" inner Sakura shouted in tears before she realized it she was consumed by a mass of darkness preventing her from communicating with her outside persona anymore.

She has been consumed by Sakura's suffering.

Sakura washed her bloody forehead on the sink as she performed medical ninjutsu to heal the injury. Even if she felt like letting it bleed more so she feels more pain once she was done she went to the fridge and opened it. She healed the opening on her forehead but it had a large scare it will probably stay there forever but she didn't care. She saw what she was looking for which was a bottle of sake even if she promised not to drink sake anymore she bought the bottle just in case. Without thinking twice she opened the bottle and drank it relying on alcohol to heal her pain and her sorrow, but she already knew it wasn't going to heal the pain only to make it worse that was enough for her.
