(Location: Naruto's apartment urban district Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)
The tall blond was shocked as he was holding the book in his hand he was upset at Sasuke for breaking up with Sakura. It was part of his selfless sacrifice to make the pink haired medic happy being together with his best friend, to find out that the Uchiha broke up with her was enough to piss him off a lot. He felt like beating the crap out of Sasuke when he showed up in his doorstep before he was calm down by him, plenty of reasons made him lose his anger towards his best friend. He has told him that Sakura didn't love him it was very shocking to find that the pink haired didn't had any romantic feelings towards the Uchiha and both of them were just having a fake relationship all this time. He was still trying to get the piece of information in his brain and understand the truth that she doesn't love Sasuke anymore, because he thought that her love for him was eternal and undying, like his love for her. He will have to accept the truth sooner or later and stop thinking that it was going to stay as her loving Sasuke forever, he sighed mentally feeling frustrated. The second thing that has shocked him is that he just found out that Sakura is hiding some kind of truth to him, he didn't had an idea what she was hiding from him. Just by gazing at his best friend there was no doubt something was up, perhaps he was hiding something from him and he didn't like it.
In his entire life that he has come to known Sasuke he has never seen him so serious since the incident at the Valley of the End when he left to join Orochimaru. He was antisocial and a bit of a jerk but looking into his eyes he knew he wasn't lying to him, or playing an indecent prank. He wasn't doing in it on purpose so he lifts his hopes up that Sakura has really stopped loving a long time ago just to see him upset. He has taken a huge risk coming here with Sakura's diary none the less so that he reads it it was suicide doing such thing. Both of them were in danger they could get in big trouble for holding something so personal like their friend's diary, of course he knew what a diary is. It was a book filled with someone's entire life it was that someone's personal friend where every single piece of information of his life was written in it. Sakura's entire life was written in the book he was now holding with his own hands, then a thought occurred to him that the Uchiha could be doing this to get him in trouble with Sakura. That would make him very mad but looking into his onyx eyes again he was really serious, then again he was never the type to play a joke on someone. A voice on the back of his head was telling him to give it a shot and read the diary.
He shook his head looking at the Uchiha" what….what did you just say?"
Sasuke sighed repeating himself a second time" I said I want you to read her dairy."
"Are you crazy?!" shouted the blond" if I read it Sakura-chan will kill me she will be so angry with me, I can't read this. This is too personal for me to just read it like it was nothing, it's like I'm spying in her entire life."
"I know it's not right, look you're not the only one who's in hot water here" replied Sasuke" if Sakura finds out that I took her diary she will be angry at me too, I'm in trouble just like you. But I'm risking facing her wrath by giving you this chance…"
Naruto stared at the diary before looking back at him" Sasuke why are you doing this?"
"I told you before there is a truth about Sakura you must know. If you want to know the truth then read it everything is there."
"I don't understand what truth you're talking about…" his cerulean eyes softened feeling more nervous holding the diary.
"Just read it already the sooner you're done reading it the better. You deserve to know the truth that Sakura has been keeping from you….for three years."
"What three years?!" Naruto's eyes widened" what's going on what kind of secret will she keep from me that long?"
"Only one way to answer your questions dobe…"
The blond jounin's hands tremble taking a deep breath he finally opened the diary and started reading the first pages, he sweat dropped" Uchiha Sakura…Uchiha Sakura….Uchiha Sakura" he flipped through the pages.
"Yeah you might skip the entries when she was still a fan girl."
"Thanks for telling me that now" frowned the blond.
"Hn…"
Naruto sighed" this is wrong…I shouldn't be doing this reading something so private and personal and Sakura-chan like I feel like I'm betraying her trust…"
"You're right about that Naruto I won't lie to you. But Sakura will never say a word to you and this is the only way for you to know what she's been hiding from you, it's very important that you know."
"But still to read her own diary it's like I'm turning my back on her like intruding in her personal life…"
"If you truly love Sakura then you will read it that's all I will say. I'm leaving now remember read it as quickly as you can before she realizes that her dairy is missing…I'll see you later."
Naruto watched Sasuke leaving the complex he was in deep thought. He closed the door as he started facing his new dilemma holding the diary in his hands, the question of whether he will read it or not. So many questions invaded his mind and so little answers that will only make him think more questions it was frustrating and annoying, he was in deep thought like he has never been before. He walked to his room still making up his mind to do the right thing and the wrong thing, getting seated on his bed he sighed thinking about his decision. He knew it was wrong to read someone else's diary especially if it's Sakura's he will be in trouble and the chances that the pink haired woman will murder him were very high. She will be angry at him and she might stop talking to him, hell she might end up hating him forever. But what if Sasuke is right and she has been keeping something from him, a very important truth that will affect him a lot or perhaps only Sakura. Was he willing to have her hate him for the sake of finding out a secret that it could be a lie, he shook his head Sasuke would never lie to him remembering how serious he looked when he gave him the dairy. He would never forgive himself if she hates him for reading her personal private life he rather died than live with her hate. Hearing the Uchiha's words was enough to convince him he worries too much for Sakura he cares too much for her.
"There is a truth about Sakura you must know…"
"If you want to know the truth then read it…"
"The truth that Sakura has been keeping from you….for three years…"
"Sakura will never say a word to you and this is the only way for you to know what she's been hiding from you, it's very important that you know."
"If you really love Sakura then you will read it."
He knew Sasuke was telling him the truth because why else would he risked himself for taking Sakura's diary knowing that it will get him in serious trouble with the pink haired medic. She was really hiding something from him a truth from him, it must be something big that she will keep it to herself and tell him a single word about it. He has known the pink haired woman for so long she will never keep secrets from him since they have become so close, making him wonder what she was hiding from him. He was curious to know after he loves her more than life itself more than any of his dreams, bringing peace to the world becoming Hokage. None of those dreams were important compare to make Sakura happy her smile to him was priceless it's his top priority that she keeps smiling and enjoying her life, he will keep his selfless love for her for the rest of his life. It was killing him on the inside but he didn't care as long as she was happy he could continue with his life like he has always had, he didn't have any regrets. Anything for her that was the reason he existed the reason why he was brought here, first he makes Sakura's life full of happiness and then he will worry about his other goals. But in secrecy he wanted her to belong to him that she will love him forever and give her mind, body and soul to him. A prize he has to pay to make her the happiest woman in the world without him being the center of her heart. Uzumaki Naruto he was gladly to pay it any day of his life in return for her smile, that's how it has always been for him.
He took a deep breath not believing he was actually going to do this, might as he well do it since he had the opportunity to take a look at Sakura's diary. At first he was thinking of a taking a small look but part of him wanted to read everything wanting to know more of the private life of the woman he has always loved for as long as he remembers. It wasn't right but curious got the better off him he listened to what Sasuke told him about reading the diary as soon as he could before Sakura realizes that her diary was gone. With courage and determination he finally opened the book making sure to skip the entries when she was still a diehard Sasuke fan girl, hearing about how much she loved the Uchiha was the last thing he wanted to hear. He skipped more than half of the diary probably regarding her childhood, to the academy days, when she became part of team seven and when Sasuke left Konoha. He also chose to skip any entries that regarded when he returned from his two and a half year training with Jiraiya. He smiled at the design just like the cover the pages were colored pink with cheery blossom petals designs, it matched perfectly with her. He stopped staring at one of the entries it seems to be before the leaf civil with Danzo and ROOTS three years ago.
"It has been a tough and tragic day today. We're now recuperating and trying to heal the wounds caused by the war, hopefully we managed to win. Danzo and his ROOTS forces were killed putting an end to his plan in taking over Konoha and his rule with an iron fist dictatorship. The hospital was very busy we had a lot of patients to attend thankfully there were no casualties our village managed to survive this war, I have worked like I have never worked before. Everyone from our group was all right and they didn't receive any serious injuries we did our part bringing the victory in our favor. Everyone's efforts were important in the outcome of the war but there are three people to thank in assuring this victory Naruto, Shikamaru and Sasuke-kun. Shikamaru made the perfect strategy to take the village back from ROOT his plan was flawless, Naruto as always the knucklehead had his never ending determination and strength he fought like a true ninja can't expect less from the hero of Konoha.
Lastly Sasuke-kun who would have thought that he will return to Konoha. Most of the people weren't happy with his return can't blame them though me, Naruto and Kakashi sensei were the only ones who were happy to see him again. My heart beat faster of happiness when I first saw him again even if he only came back to fulfill his revenge against Danzo according to him, I still don't understand why I thought it was Itachi the one responsible for the Uchiha massacre. Thanks to him we defeated Danzo he was the one that killed him he gave us the final push to end the civil war. The people weren't still happy with him they didn't trust him but Naruto came to his defense, it was at that time I felt truly happy. Sasuke-kun was back we can return in being team seven again going back to the way things used to be, I'm so happy most importantly for Naruto. With Sasuke back he can finally feel happy he no longer has torment himself because he's not here or trying hard to bring him back to the village.
I can feel his pain not having his best friend by his side, but now that's all in the past we can finally be a team again. The one thing that makes me the happiest person in the whole world is that finally Naruto can throw off that burden from his shoulder, the burden I gave him. I was the one that put that burden on him the promise of the life time, I am responsible that he became a prisoner to that promise and fulfilled it no matter what. He's too stubborn and he will never give up he was going to fulfill that promise even if it kills him, with Sasuke-kun back in Konoha he can let that promise go. Yet I know he must be feeling so hurt because he couldn't fulfill it, I can see it in his eyes he's disappointed that he didn't brought him back. I know him too well he must be feeling ashamed for not fulfilling the promise he made to me but I don't care about that, I'm not angry at him for not fulfilling it. I'm very happy because from the moment he made that promise to me and he became the prisoner to it I saw how far he was willing to go to fulfill it, and of course to bring Sasuke-kun back….for me. Right there I know now how much he was willing to go…..to make me happy.
Naruto stood in deep thought as he finished reading the entry, he smiled what else would he expect from Sakura. She was obviously happy that they won the civil war and that Sasuke returned reuniting team seven again, but the entry was a little strange. He wasn't that dumb to realize part of the entry was about the way and how relief she was that they were victorious over Danzo, the other part was more about him. He felt terrible when she mentioned that she gave him the burden to carry out the promise of the life time when that was false, he chose to fulfill the promise on his own accord he did it all for her. He couldn't believe she will blame herself for the promise of the life time and yet he felt so ashamed of himself because in the end he never fulfilled his lifelong promise to her, even if Sakura clearly mentioned it in her diary that she didn't care about the promise. There was no need to feel so guilty so why would she blame herself for something that wasn't her fault, he shook his head he would never blame her for that. He made his choice to fulfill that promise for the sake of team seven and Sakura to see her happy with Sasuke, he knew how much she loves the Uchiha. He chose to read another entry he looked at the date and it was a couple of weeks after the civil war.
I was so busy today. I had to run a couple of errands from the hospital there were so many places I had to go, I'm so glad I finished them early. I decided to spend some time with Naruto I was hoping to spend time with the entire team but that was impossible. Kakashi sensei was busy with his job as the new Hokage and Sasuke-kun was still locked in ANBU headquarters, it's all right I never minded spending time with only Naruto. Obviously the idiot was going to be stuffing his mouth with ramen at Ichiraku, I never thought I would see him with some company. Argh….it makes me so angry when I saw him with all those girls they were blushing and touching him and they were so close to him. Ever since he defeated Pain and became the hero of Konoha those annoying fan girls have been showing up, they have been clinging to him like their lives depended on it. They don't have anything better to do then stalk him worst than Hinata used to, I don't even know why I am so angry to begin with. That's it if I ever see any of Naruto's fan girls again I will give them a piece of my mind, they will think twice before going to ogle at him and Kami knows what kind of perverted dreams they have about him. But I must know why….why am I feeling this way???
Naruto smiled' that's the typical Sakura-chan with her typical temper.'
Of course Naruto being his usual dense self didn't have a clue that Sakura was really jealous seeing him with so many of his fan girls. He was embarrassed he wasn't used to attract so much attention, especially when he gained his own fan club. He was now respected by every single villager in Konoha after training so hard to gain the acknowledgement he has been looking for in his entire life, but with all that respect comes the fan girls. He still wasn't used of having women coming at him and flirting with him just like being a hero to everyone in the village, he preferred to spend his time with the only girl who didn't acted like a fan girl with him his cherry blossom. The thought of Sakura acting like a fan girl made him laughed she would never act like that ever, it will be impossible since she didn't like him in a romantic way. It will be wishful thinking from him he didn't know why she will get so upset when his fan girls were with him, how she wanted to beat the living hell of each bimbo who tried to flirt with him or ask him out on a date. If he could only understand women even training with the biggest pervert in the world, someone who claimed to know about the heart of a woman and he still couldn't learn a thing about them. He decided to flip a couple of pages of the diary, reading the date it was a couple of months after the civil war.
Dear diary today I….I don't know how to say this but I have a confession to make. It's about Naruto I can't believe it took me so long to realize it but I finally know my feelings for him, I love him. I love him so much my feelings for him are so deep and strong how did it come to this, I don't know what to say. Of course I know the truth I am so unworthy of his love or his feelings, I know I'm too late to have him in my life or the chance to invite him in my heart. I'm not the one for him he has suffered so much because of me I brought him nothing but pain, I will never bring him happiness I'm not good enough for him. I don't deserve a single thing from him after everything I have done to him his kindness, his loyalty, his friendship, his love nothing I'm not worthy. I'm just selfish I'm too late to even tell him how I feel I will not tell him either way, after everything he's been through he deserves to be happy but not with me. Maybe someday I might be able to repent for all my mistakes and maybe I can make Naruto's life full of happiness.
Naruto eyes went wide in pure shock at the entry he just read. He felt like he couldn't breathe, he couldn't think, he couldn't say a single word he was too shocked to react at all. His hands were shaking holding the diary while his heart was beating so fast it felt like it was ready to burst from his chest, It's everything around him has stopped. Like time has stopped or perhaps he was living in a dream and he wasn't really reading Sakura's diary, or that Sasuke came to him and gave him the book in the first place. He was still here he even pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming he was truly shocked at what he just found out, it was impossible to even believe it. It was unbelievable to realize that all this time Sakura the woman he has love for as long as he remembers truly love him, he still didn't believe it no matter how many times he read the entry. It was ironic he thought he was the one who wasn't worthy enough to love her now the tables have turned, to realized that Sakura believes the same thing with loving him. He thought that no matter how impossible it seemed that she will always love Sasuke, that it was absolute and there was nothing that he could do. That he has lost her to his best friend forever and he believed he wasn't worthy of her, the truth has hit him like a ton of bricks.
'No…this can't be…Sakura-chan can't love me…it's not true she loves Sasuke not me. I don't believe this how can she love me I couldn't even fulfill my promise to her, I was the one who wasn't worthy of her not the other way around!'
It's true he didn't fulfill the promise of the life time and yet he just read it from her dairy that she didn't care about the promise. Now he understood why Sasuke bothered himself and risked getting discovered by Sakura for taking her diary, it was the only way to believe the truth. If he told him that she loves him he wasn't going to believe the Uchiha's words because of his denial to accept something that he has been dreaming his entire life. He hold the diary tightly and read the entry again it was true it was really there, he had to stop denying it. It was written in the dairy by Sakura herself and he wasn't dreaming either he will have to stop lying to himself and embrace the truth, that the woman he has always love loves him back with equal intense feelings. Her love for him was eternal and undying just like his love for her now he really wanted to read more, she loves him but there were still questions he wanted to find the answers. He flipped another page reading another entry looking at the date it was the day after he confession entry, he only kept his focus on the text. He remembered the date when he was about to confessed to her and she rejected him telling the life that she will always love Sasuke.
My heart is broken my soul is shattered forever. Today was the worst day in my entire life and most painful one I have never suffered so much with what happened today. At first it felt like a dream come true that was meant to turn into a nightmare, Naruto he has confessed to me. He was about to confess to me but I didn't let him finish as much as I wanted him to tell me those three words I have been waiting and longing for him to say to me, I couldn't accept him. I'm still wondering how can he still love me after everything I have done to him me no I don't deserve his undying love. There's already another candidate more suitable and perfect for Naruto's love it's not me the one to claim his heart, it's Hinata. She's better than me and deserves his love more than anyone after all she has love him since the academy she's perfect for Naruto. I will step aside no matter how much it's killing me I will survive this pain somehow but there's still something left I can do for him. I hurt Naruto rejecting his feelings but I will find a way to slowly heal the pieces of his broken heart but he will never know.
I have taken an oath a promise that will last forever. I will be the one to secretly give Naruto a happy better life I will make sure that he enjoys his life to the fullest even if it won't be enough. If I can somehow put a smile on his face that will be enough for me, he knows Hinata loves him so it won't be long before he rips me from his heart for good and gets together with her. Maybe I can do something perhaps I should make a reservation in a restaurant and invite them so they can start off it will be a start for them to get to know each other. I hope Naruto forgets about me for his sake I already broke his heart just like the dozens of times in the past, he must love Hinata at all cost and left to suffer for my mistakes. For as long as I remember Naruto has always sacrifice everything for me always thinking about me before himself, he has done everything for my sake so I can be happy. If the future Hokage has done it for so long then why not me, this time I will be the one to sacrifice everything for him. His happiness will be my strength to go on and moving forward the same way my happiness has kept him going all this time.
Because to me I feel like Naruto's happiness is the only reason for me to continue existing….
Naruto was so shocked so stunned that he dropped the diary on the ground. His hands were trembling his heart feeling another painful blow and it was enough for tears to form on his cerulean eyes. Even after reading the emotional entry he was still in denial, this couldn't be happening or it was real. Was he really reading Sakura's diary he knew it was her hand writing but he still couldn't believe it, this book couldn't belong to her. This diary belongs to the same girl who was loyal and deeply in love with Sasuke but as he continued reading it he was proven to be very wrong of his assumption regarding the pink haired woman. He needed to admit that Sakura's love for the Uchiha wasn't unconditional like his love for her, she has moved on from him a long time ago and she loved him very much. She was willing to step aside and let him go to Hinata in hopes that he'll be happy with the Hyuga heiress she did it for him just like he would do the same thing for her. He wanted to find answers now if she didn't loved Sasuke then why she go to him in the first place he flipped more pages enough to read the recent entries, he found the entries after three years. He dried his tears as he started reading with trembling hands, he was already hurt after finding out the truth what else would Sakura write about.
Today I made Naruto-kun happy by spending time with him. I was feeling so stressful from a hard working day at the hospital I needed to relax, luckily for me I met Naruto-kun on the way out. Being with him was the kind of relaxation I needed we talked as always and laughed together. I asked him about Hinata he told me he's been doing great with her I'm glad he's happy being her boyfriend. I felt so alive when he made me laugh because of some lame joke he told me, I'm the silly one for laughing in the first place. As usual we went to Ichiraku for ramen I really wish he would at least eat something that isn't noodles in a bowl for once. I didn't complain I was very hungry though we continued talking and then I gave him some advice about Hinata. I told him all kinds of things a woman would like for a man to do for her he really need it because he's so dense. I made him smile at me and that was enough for my day to get all better I felt my heart leaping in joy, it was another day that I secure his happiness once again.
He flipped another page reading an entry from a couple of days ago tears were now falling from his cerulean eyes.
I'm really having a not so good day I never thought I will be in this situation for the second time. Apparently my second land lord is demanding the rent I owe him for the past three months but I don't have the money. It couldn't be help Naruto-kun was having some financial problems and he didn't have enough money to pay for his own apartment, I don't want him to get kick out. Just like I did before I took money from my savings in order to pay the big debt he owe to his landlord. All I have to do is write the check with signed by Hinata and everything will be fine, surely he won't noticed this is the second time I have helped him with his money problem. My landlord will obviously kick me out of my apartment like my previous one but it doesn't matter I help Naruto-kun he'll be fine now.
The blonds' eyes widened' what….Sakura-chan she….she was the one but I thought it was Hinata-chan all this time. Sakura-chan was really the one who helped me twice from getting kick out of my apartment but she….'
"Sakura-chan what's going on?" he was gazing around her empty apartment with all of the boxes with all of her things.
Sakura smiled at him" you know I'm moving out."
"Again?" he blinked" you recently have been staying here less than a year."
"Yeah but I finally found the perfect place I want to live in" she replied giving him a very convincing smile her excuse was valid to the blond.
"Okay if you feel that way" he smiled believing her reason for moving out.
"How are things with you and Hinata?" she quickly changed the topic her smile never left her face.
"Oh were doing great!"
'I was so stupid I can't believe I didn't notice before. She quickly threw away the topic and asked about my relationship with Hinata-chan why Sakura-chan….why would you do this?'
He flipped another page reading another entry his tears were still falling feeling pain for the pink haired medic.
Another hard day at the office I'm tire and hungry but this is nothing compared to the pain I witnessed after I left the hospital. I saw him Naruto-kun was seated on a bench and he was crying he was actually crying. It tore me apart when I saw him like that I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore, it was the first time I saw him crying since Gaara died when he was captured by Akatsuki. I felt so bad I couldn't take it seeing him so hurt and broken I was going to make sure to put a smile on his face and make him feel better. I talked to him he told me that he had an argument with Hinata I can't believe it, Hinata wasn't the kind of person to argue with him so why. It turned out that it was just a little misunderstanding and before Naruto know it he was arguing with her I should it known, at least it wasn't anything serious I'm so glad. He felt so much better and once again he smiled at me everything was fine, I made him happy again. I just hope nothing happens between him and Hinata I don't want their relationship to end, they looked so happy together they are meant for each other.
Naruto dried his tears feeling terrible for his close friend and teammate, every single pain she felt he was feeling it ten times worst. He flipped more pages from the diary reaching another entry which he recognized the date as the day when they had their sparing match at the training field, where they shared their first kiss.
Today is the best day in my entire life and also the worst. I went with Naruto-kun to the training field just to have a regular sparing match with him I never thought it will turn so different. I kissed him I actually kissed him it was wrong I shouldn't have done, I had no right to do such thing. Naruto-kun is with Hinata she's his girlfriend I did wrong and yet I love it I wanted to keep on tasting his lips. Why do I have to feel like this now I'm having the dreams more than ever, I am fantasizing so much about him. It's so wonderful I'm dreaming that he's kissing me, touching me, making me he's. No I have to control myself I'm being selfish this is not right I don't deserve him, I made the right choice handing him to Hinata. I made a mistake kissing him but it was my favorite mistake I would like to repeat it again, even if I don't deserve the pleasure to kiss him. I have to make sure that Naruto-kun stays with Hinata no matter what I can't get in the way of his relationship with her, what I should tell him now that we have kissed he will obviously think the wrong thing. I will tell him that it was a mistake and I that I will always love Sasuke-kun yeah that will be enough.
Naruto still had tears in his eyes clutching his chest in the location of his heart. He was feeling so much pain all the pain Sakura have been going through, this is what she has been doing all along. In secrecy she was trying to give him happiness while he was together with Hinata she was only worrying about his happiness and no one else's, she didn't thought her happiness not even once. With trembling hands he flipped a couple of pages more reading another entry in the daily living of Sakura's life.
Argh who the hell does he think he is how dare he. That Uchiha has the nerve how could he, I never thought he would say such thing. He told me that Naruto-kun doesn't love Hinata and he only loves me that he has always loved me bullshit. I know what he was trying to do he wants Hinata he's jealous seeing her together with Naruto-kun and of course what Uchiha Sasuke wants Uchiha Sasuke gets how dare he try to destroy Naruto-kun happiness he makes me so angry. I can't believe him and to think I used to have a crush on him I finally did the right thing with him, he's no longer my friend. I threw away my friendship with Sasuke I even thought that he has really change and become a better person looks like I was wrong after all. I'm going to make sure Naruto-kun stays happy with Hinata I won't let Sasuke get in the way, if he does try something I will stop him.
The entry hurt Naruto even more because he knew Sakura was making a big mistake in ending her friendship with the Uchiha. Sasuke was telling her the truth he was trying to help her he was a true friend, he never doubted him for a second. He was the one who gave him Sakura's diary so the he knows the truth behind the pink haired medic, her secret feelings for him and her huge affection for him. He needed to focus before he lets his emotions get the better of him he chose to flip more pages from the book. Reading the date of the entry it was the day before he left on his mission with Konohamaru to hidden rain village, the day he told her that he broke up with Hinata.
I'm crying as I write these notes Naruto-kun has told me that he broke up with Hinata, no Hinata was the one who will broke up with him. I can't believe it Hinata is in love with him I just don't understand why she would break up with him it doesn't make sense. But Naruto-kun told me something that left me shocked forever he said that he has never love Hinata in the first place. He didn't love her for real no it can't be true, was Sasuke-kun telling me the truth about his feelings all along. I don't believe it Naruto-kun can't still be in love with me after all these years it's impossible I refuse to believe it, it's not true. I really made a mistake in ending my friendship with Sasuke-kun he was right all along he tried to help me and I completely spitted on his face with my anger. I hate myself I don't think he will forgive me I don't know what to do now, Naruto-kun how can I bring him happiness. He doesn't love Hinata but what I can do I have to find someone worthy of his love I just want to cry it hurts so much.
He flipped another page reading an entry the date written was three days after later.
I want to feel pain the only thing I need is sake…..more sake. That no good for a Hokage Kakashi has put me under house arrest because apparently I miss behaved at the hospital when I was simply putting my honest jurisdiction. I don't care I have failed in bringing Naruto-kun happiness what else is there for me to do now……I…my only reason to live is to make him happy I'm pathetic. I can't even put a smile on his face anymore if he doesn't love Hinata what a failure I turned out to be. I have done nothing but make mistake after mistake and now I have realize I am nothing but a big failure, a nobody who is not worthy of being called the successor of the fifth Hokage Tsunade-sama. I'm not worthy of being a medic nin or a kunoichi, not worthy to be Naruto-kun's friend or even worthy to have his love. I love him but I will continue to stay in this path I am the biggest failure in the entire world this is me Haruno Sakura, I want sake so I can forget all my problems. Tsunade-sama told me to live my life with no regrets but I can't do that, how can I confess my feelings if I can't make him happy. I want to suffer for my failure my life has no meaning anymore it's like an empty shell now.
The pages of the diary were now wet from the endless tears that were coming from Naruto. He was sobbing clutching on the book while he was clutching his heart with his other hand this was too much for him to bear. He has had about enough he didn't want to read from the diary anymore, now he knew the truth about the pink haired woman. Now he knew how much she was suffering even if she always smiled at him, now he knew how selfless she has become and the pain she was feeling was basically killing her on the inside. He was very familiar with the pain because it's the same pain he has been feeling since he fell in love with her years ago since she developed her childish crush on Sasuke, the crush he thought as everlasting unconditional love. He realized how much alike they are both selfless and willing to take so much pain from both sides, it's like they were destined to suffer together and endure so many hardships. He remembered during the chunin exams when Iruka told him about the philosophy of heaven and earth and what do they mean in the ninja world. How both of them were connected and they needed each other in order to bring perfect balance in both real life and in combat.
It took him seven years but now he knew what his teacher told him back then, the chunin said he was earth and Sakura was heaven. Both of them were similar in those two terms they needed each other and neither of them couldn't coexist without the other, he smiled thinking about the big meaning behind it. He was earth and Sakura was his heaven his peace and tranquility and his reason to shoot for the stars he needed her he knew it very well that's why he couldn't live without her. The existence of his heaven was important in his own existence because without heaven earth couldn't exist and vice versa. His heaven meant everything to him because he loved her with every bit of his strength and no one was going to change that. He finally closed the diary with a decision to what to do about all of this he left the book on his nightstand before leaving his room. He left his apartment with a determined look on his face he was going to visit Sakura he needed to talk to her.
'Sakura-chan….'
(Location: Uchiha household Uchiha clan district west section Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)
Sasuke was seated on the table waiting for a nice lunch. Naturally he never cooked because his cooking was terrible beyond comprehension so he usually goes to a restaurant to eat, bad news the employees always over charged him since they didn't like him for being a traitor. He got used to it so he always brings extra money but today was a different story because he was about to received some food that it wasn't made by him, so he won't die from eating it. He now had a new cook which she has been staying in his home for three days he smiled watching Hinata heading his way bringing the food. So far her stay was very pleasant he actually liked some company because he didn't like being all alone in his home even if he has gotten used to the loneliness, it didn't meant he like it though. He actually like having here she was kind, nice and hardworking she has offered to help with some of the chores of the house which he didn't minded at all. He gazed at her she was wearing an apron and gently she put the plate with dishes on the table, he really liked what he was seeing. The former Hyuga heiress has made some sushi with soy bean sauce as a dip.
Hinata blushed slightly she has made the food like her life depended on it she has sweat to make the dish the best food he has ever had. She has been staying with Sasuke for three days and she was already living happily with him almost like he was her, she erased the thought while blushing. At one time she was dying to get acknowledgement from her father but now things have certainly changed since she left the Hyuga clan there was a new target she was looking acknowledgement from. She smiled gazing at the Uchiha who has picked his chopsticks ready to eat she did the same thing she was secretly hoping to gain his acknowledgement. It was more important gaining it from Hiashi it was the reason why she worked hard to make the food taste unique, she smiled at him.
"This looks good…" Sasuke said impressed looking at his plate.
"I hope you like it Sasuke-kun" she replied with a blush.
He picked some sushi dipping it on the sauce and took a bite before it hit hi taste buds his eyes went wide' this is…even better than Sakura's cooking…'
"Well how is it?" Hinata was worried while in her mind she was crossing her fingers hoping that it was good.
Sasuke gave her a sly smile" it's good…really good."
"You really mean it?" she was still blushing.
The Uchiha nodded taking another bite" I never tasted such a good meal not even in the places I have gone to eat are nothing compare to your cooking."
By now Hinata's face resembled a tomato as she fidgeted feeling flatter and embarrassed about the compliment" I'm glad you…like it….Sasuke-kun…"
"Hmm…" he finished his first sushi roll very satisfied.
She smiled at him as she started eating she took a bite before dipping her sushi on the sauce" Sasuke-kun?"
"Hn…" he smiled still eating the tasty meal looking at her.
She sighed putting her chopsticks down" I….I know I said I was going to stay in your home for one night only and it's been three days. I must be a bother to you I promise I will leave and start looking for a new place to stay."
The Uchiha almost choked on his sushi hearing that he coughed while clearing his throat" where will you go?"
"I…I don't know I guess I will start searching around the village."
Sasuke was in deep thought remembering what she told him, her reason for staying here' the rumor will spread that she left the Hyuga clan the villagers will no longer view her as the heiress of one of Konoha's most prestigious clans or someone who doesn't deserve any respect, they might even see her as an outcast.'
"If you don't have any particular place to stay then you can continue staying here. I don't see anything wrong with it…"
Hinata smiled" you really mean it Sasuke-kun?"
"It's all right if you stay here it's not so bad. I get free food and most of the chores are done by you, it's fine with me…." He dipped another sushi before taking a bite.
The Hyuga kunoichi frowned at his comment" so the only reason you want me to stay is because I'm your personal maid?"
"Pretty much" Sasuke gave a grin.
"If that's the case then maybe I should leave and look for another place to stay" she gave a small smirk playing with him.
"Sure thing…." He replied taking another bite like he wasn't bothered at all.
"All right once I finished the food I will packed my things and leave."
"What you serious?" he blinked looking at her" I thought you were kidding I was following your lead."
"Maybe I will leave…."
"Really?"
She laughed taking another bite" I was kidding you always take things so seriously."
"Hn…." He frowned resuming his eating.
"You don't sound happy" Hinata smiled at him.
"Hn…"
She giggle resuming her eating she has realized how fun is to teased Sasuke, of course she makes sure she didn't get carried away that will really offend him in any way. Both were enjoying the meal and Hinata knew she was going to be happy staying here living with Sasuke wasn't going to be so bad after all their meal was interrupted by a knock on the front door. Sasuke since it was his home chose to answer the door there was no need in making Hinata do that for him he got up leaving the dining room. Although he was unhappy that he had to interrupt his tasty meal to answer the door, he opened the door to be surprised. He wasn't expecting to have any visitors with his popularity especially if the visitor was Neji.
The Uchiha just stood there looking at the older Hyuga with a surprise expression, he highly doubt he came to have some tea and cookies with him. Instantly their eyes locked on and sparks started flying both of them still had a grudge of hatred towards the other. They have always had some hatred since the chunin exams Sasuke thought he was an egotistical jerk who only believes in fate and Neji thought he was a power hungry revenge arrogant jerk, which he was right. Their staring contest was intense aside from the sparks it looked like both were having a fight with their glares until one of them get intimidated by the other. Which glare was colder and more evil that was the key to victory in this match, Neji however had other plans and quit the contest. It didn't necessarily meant that he stopped glaring at the Uchiha not to mention he didn't like the fact that his cousin decided to stay in the same house as the traitor.
"Uchiha…." His tone was deadly serious.
"Hey….came here for Hinata?" Sasuke knew the reason for his visit he would never visit him if his life depended on it.
The Hyuga prodigy nodded "is she available?"
"She is but I should tell you a little secret" Sasuke gave a grin" the truth is I put her on a genjutsu she's under my complete control."
Neji's eyes hardened" I didn't came here to hear your potential bull crap I need to speak with Hinata-sama."
"Sure go ahead but I'm not lying didn't you find it weird why she left the clan?" the Uchiha was still grinning" I have her under my control and I can make her do anything I want….anything" his grin turn very perverted like.
The Hyuga prodigy growled in anger holding the thought from charging at him full force" you're just saying that to piss me off!"
"I know and it's working" he was still grinning.
"Sasuke-kun who is it?" came Hinata's voice from inside of the house.
"It's Neji…." He replied coolly.
"Oh I'll be right there."
Neji didn't like the fact that his cousin was calling Sasuke with a suffix, it meant that she has high respect and honor for him. To him the Uchiha didn't deserve any respect or forgiveness for his crimes as a traitor, but he kept his cool. After all he didn't came here to start a fight with the traitor but to speak with his cousin and the bonus to visit her, he needed to know how she was feeling after she left the Hyuga clan. He felt bad for her after hearing her speech before she left knowing how hard it was for her to take that decision, although he was proud for taking a stand against the clan. She needed some comfort and reasoning he didn't like that she was staying here, anywhere was fine except here. She could have go to any of their friends but she chose to live here of all places it didn't make him happy whatsoever.
Hinata came entering the front door smiling" Nejini-san thanks for visiting me."
Sasuke frowned at the older Hyuga" go on in and make yourself at home" he grinned passing by the voluptuous Hyuga beauty before leaving them alone" thanks for the hand job Hinata."
"What!!?" Hinata shouted in shock as her whole face was red like a cherry, of course he was lying before she looked like at her cousin who looked very pissed" wait Nejini-san don't listen to him it's not true!"
The Hyuga prodigy sighed erasing his anger" it's all right Hinata-sama I know he was lying you're nothing like that at all he did it to make me angry. He should show some respect to individuals from a prestigious clan you're not some hungry sick pervert."
She wanted to argue about the pervert part but she remained quiet remembering her intense erotic dreams with the Uchiha, she lowered her gaze at his first comment" Nejini-san I'm not part of the Hyuga clan anymore."
"I know but to me you're still part of the clan no matter what you're still a Hyuga. You will always be my cousin no one will change that."
She smiled" thank you Nejini-san let's go inside."
He nodded sliding the front door close following Hinata into the halls of the Uchiha household. When they arrived at the dining room her plate was the only thing on the table. Sasuke was gone along with his dish Hinata sighed mentally of course he wasn't going to stay if it meant that he has to looked at her cousin. She knew both mean had never seen eye to eye and things have become worst since Sasuke's defection from Konoha years ago. She felt like it wasn't right for him to leave without saying a word bu then again maybe he did the right thing in leaving, maybe she was going to talk about something personal and Sasuke understands when he shouldn't be present in a conversation.
"Please sit down would you like some lunch I made sushi?"
"That will be all right I have already eaten and I'm not going to stay for too long thank you."
They both got seated as she wanted to finish her plate but for now eating were the last thing on her mind, she had a pretty good idea why her cousin has taken his time visit her" did father sent you to convince me to return to the clan?"
"No I have come here at my own accord the clan's business have nothing to do with this. You're part of my family Hinata-sama I worry about you even if you chose to defect the clan."
She smiled with a nod" thank you Nejini-san but please don't call me that anymore, I'm no longer the heiress of the main branch."
"I called you that because of my respect for you the title that you were part of the main branch has nothing to do with it, I came to check up on you and see how are you doing?"
Hinata smiled taking a bite from her sushi" I'm doing fine I'm enjoying my life just the way it is."
Neji nodded going to the topic he wanted to discuss" you know Hiashi-sama is worried about you. He may have not showed it before but deep down he really cares for you, I know it's hard to believe but it's the truth."
Her expression fell hearing that she lowered her gaze pausing on her eating" are you sure that father didn't send you to convince me to return?"
"No I'm not expecting you that my words will convince you to return to the clan. I'm simply telling you this because I care about both you and Hiashi-sama as part of my family, I don't want the two of you to be apart. Honestly I don't want you to return Hinata-sama I'm glad that you finally took a stand against the clan becoming an independent person. However I want you to reconsider you decision involving Hiashi-sama he's your father family are suppose to be together not part."
"I thank you very much for caring about us Nejini-san but I believe that decision to be reconsider is up to father to make not me."
"You chose to be apart from him" he replied.
"No he chose to be apart from me!" she snapped with anger in her pale eyes causing the Hyuga prodigy to be shocked at her reaction" the day he treated me as an outcast is the day he became apart from me and jeopardize our family bond, if he saw me as weak and worthless to be part of the main branch then it's obvious that he didn't wanted me as part of the family. It's clearly that he doesn't care that's why he became apart from me and failed as a father in raising his own daughter the right way, all for the benefit of the clan."
Neji sighed" its true Hiashi-sama has made a lot of mistakes in his life for following the tradition of the clan but now he knows that tradition isn't the right one. Mistakes have been constantly made because the rule of the elders it's not the right one. He has realized how wrong the system of the clan really is and he's trying to make a difference, among those mistakes he knows about not caring for you. He knows that he did wrong at how he raised you he only wanted to try and fix the clan his own way."
"That's just it Nejini-san fix the clan his own way that's the only thing that has ever matter to him the clan nothing else matters. His family was a minor concern to him next to the clan I'm sorry but if he really wants to fix things then he has to start fixing his own family first before going with the clan. I already learned my lesson from father I will not follow in his footsteps, if I ever have a child I will give him the necessary caring and love he rightfully deserves"
"So you're not going to forgive him?" he replied in deep thought.
"I think it's him the one who has to ask for forgiveness not the other way around. If he does apologize to me then I might think about it, if he wants to start over as father and daughter relationship that will be fine with me. But for now I have no interest in him it all depends what he thinks, that is if he really cares for me…." Her pale eyes softened at the thought.
The Hyuga prodigy nodded" very well Hinata-sama if that's your decision then I will respect it and follow it I do want the best for both of you however. I want you to be part of Hiashi-sama's life as his daughter the same way for him with you."
The kunoichi smiled at her cousin' you have changed so much Nejini-san' she remembers how he used to be believing that fate controls everything and it's the ruler of how people should lived their lives" thank you for understanding me Nejini-san and thank you for visiting me."
"I'm glad by the way I have been wondering how long are you planning to stay with Sasuke?"
Hinata felt like they were about to enter a bad topic she remained calm" I…well right now I don't know yet…"
"I think you should reconsider in staying here any longer, it's not an appropriate place to stay" Neji kept his tone formal not wanting to sound rude.
"Why would you say that I like staying here?" she started tightening her fists.
"Hinata-sama I would like to see you somewhere else that isn't here. I don't understand you at all you could have asked anyone from our friends like Tenten or even Ino to stay with them but here…with him" his tone was full of anger at the last part.
The kunoichi hold her anger she was patient after all" Nejini-san I know you don't like Sasuke-kun and you're not the only one who feels that way about him. But I don't have a problem staying with him so far I have enjoyed my stay and he has been like a complete gentlemen….um well not exactly a complete gentlemen but passable. I don't mind if I stay for a while here."
"You can't!" the older Hyuga shouted startling her" you can't possibly consider staying with that traitor!"
"You're acting just like him" Hinata gazed at her cousin's eyes with anger" you're acting so much like father judging someone for his actions and not for his intentions."
"You should try and understand Sasuke-kun a little bit more" she replied softly.
"I don't have to understand him he's a traitor. He betrayed Konoha, joined Orochimaru, joined Akatsuki and almost caused Konoha and Kumo to go to war all for his own selfish reasons" Neji's tone was serious but he wasn't shouting anymore.
"Tell me Nejini-san" she started" if you have an older brother who you considering him very precious to you and he ends up killing your entire clan and your parents, he poisons your mind with hatred and revenge just so you kill him would you dedicate your entire life to fulfill that revenge?"
"What?" his expression was clueless why was she bringing this up.
"Put yourself in Sasuke-kun's shoes Itachi was his most precious person from his family he looked up for him more than anyone. Then his older brother wipes out his entire clan and destroyed his mind filling it with hatred and revenge turning his life with the sole purpose of revenge to kill him. When he finally defeats Itachi he learns the truth that all this time he killed the clan under direct orders as part of his mission. Sasuke-kun has learned that his precious brother killed their clan because of a mission and not because he was really evil and the worst part of it all that his older brother was suffering more than himself for killing his family and fellow clan members. His hatred was shifted from Itachi to Konoha because of the hell they both went through to maintain the peace of the village, now can you really justify his actions?"
"Why are you defending him so much?" Neji's eyes were fixed on his cousin.
"The same reason Naruto-kun would defend any one of us, because he's my friend. Nejini-san you weren't any different than Sasuke-kun you haven't forgotten about your intense hatred for the main branch because of uncle Hizashi's death, and let's not forget about your hatred for the bird cage seal on your forehead."
The Hyuga prodigy tensed he flinched remembering those horrible memories from his past" that's completely different I'm nothing like Sasuke!"
"Really you can't deny it. I know how deep your hatred for the main branch was you wanted revenge badly when uncle Hizashi died your hatred for the main branch and the bird cage seal was even bigger than any of the branch member's. I should know if you remember that you almost killed me in our preliminary match at the chunin exams as proof of your deep hatred, and even after what you did to me I forgave you because I understood your actions. You were justified Nejini-san just like Sasuke-kun too."
"That was all in the past Hinata-sama I'm nothing like that anymore I don't have hatred for the main branch anymore!" he shouted in fear because perhaps deep inside his cousin was speaking the truth.
"And why is that?!" Hinata's eyes met his there wasn't anger in them but determination" because you found out the truth uncle Hizashi died by his own free will and not because he was ordered by my father. He wanted to die for his own cause instead of the benefit of the main branch, that's why your hatred for the main branch disappeared you understood his actions. I understand Sasuke-kun's actions he was doing in it as a way to do justice for his older brother even if it was the wrong thing to do."
Neji stood shocked at what he just witnessed. His cousin was defending Sasuke with so much determination, determination that he hasn't seen in her since they fought at the chunin exams. Hearing her words they hold a big truth in them remembering how much he hated the main branch their order what caused the death of his father, he really wanted revenge a lot. The it finally hit him why Hinata has been acting so loyal and dedicated toward the Uchiha, it was more than just because she considers her friend. The look on her face could clearly tell that she was hiding something and he didn't need his byakugan to see what it is. Just by hearing her words as she supports the Uchiha was enough for the Hyuga prodigy to realize her true intentions, or more precise her hidden devotion for the affection she feels for him.
"Like I told Sasuke-kun a while back I may not be able to understand his pain of loss but I can help him get through the pain together as his friend. It may not be much but it still a good start, I'm not the only one who thinks like that Naruto-kun and Sakura-san they feel the same way too."
The older Hyuga was shocked looking at her" don't tell me Hinata-sama….are you…" he didn't finished seeing her expression on her face.
"Nejini-san I think you should go now. Thank you for visiting me" she quickly replied.
He didn't say another word he only nodded' Hinata-sama you….'
"I'll show you to the door."
They got up from the table and the kunoichi lead him to the front door none of them realized that they were being watched. On the far back of the household Sasuke stood in a corner he couldn't hear a thing but he used his sharingan to read their lips, he knew about everything they talked about. He felt so happy when he heard Hinata standing out to him defending him like a true friend would he admitted that it brought him a lot of joy. He didn't know why his heart was beating quickly like he was anxious or it was more than that, he gave a small smile hoping that she stays a little longer with him. After this he was truly going to treasure his friendship with the former Hyuga heiress just like he treasures his friendship with his two teammates.
(Location: apartment complex urban district Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)
Sakura has finished cooking something she needed to get a hobby because she was bored out of her mind. She was still under house arrest even if she claims that she has stopped drinking sake which she has, after two days she stopped drinking ending her alcohol addiction. She realized sake wasn't going to solver her problem with her feelings for a certain blond jounin unless she finally speaks the truth to him. She was feeling better but she still didn't wanted to say a word it was hard for her, she still thought she was unworthy of him. She thought she was a failure for not giving Naruto true happiness she failed him as a teammate and friend, she didn't had the guts to face him again. Her friends were arguing that she should just get it over with and tell him her feelings it was frustrating to some of them. Ino was among those frustrated she had every right to tell the blond how she feels, he wasn't together with Hinata anymore he was a free man destine to be taken by the pink haired woman. Right now Naruto was the hottest and most desirable single in Konoha, any woman will sell any part of their bodies just to have a date with him, or kill someone, or even sell their panties. Of course for the tall blond jounin there was only one woman he wanted to have for himself, no contest in guessing who she is.
She sighed seeing the wall where her precious photos were located her jade eyes only gaze at the picture when she and Naruto went to the Konoha festival together. That was really her most precious moment it was the best day of her life, no wonder why the picture was her favorite. She was so happy when she went together with him she was nervous but happy, even if back then she has idea of her strong deep feelings for him. But nevertheless she loved that day so much because she felt like she was having a real date with him she didn't admit it she was being very stubborn and kept convincing herself that it wasn't a date just spending time with her teammate. Of course she was happy that the rest of team Kakashi couldn't make it because each had different kinds of missions, she smiled she was so thankful that she had that day with Naruto more that he thought. Obviously the blond was very excited because he thought he was going on a date with her, she giggle at the memory she has never seen him so happy before.
The Konoha festival was full of people and the streets were crowded more than usual. Most of them were already playing the games while others were eating from their restaurants all kinds of dishes. Sakura was wearing a blue yukata with cherry blossoms on the sides looking very pretty, Naruto was nest to her blushing how beautiful she looked. The fifteen year old was wearing a light blue male kimono with the sleeves tied making him looked more manly, to the pink haired teen he looked very attractive but she remained quiet. Naruto was beyond happy going to the festival together with the girl he has always like was a dream come true, it felt like he was going on a date with his long time crush. He chuckle getting next to while she smiled at him she was going to enjoy tonight's festival.
"Hehe a date with Sakura-chan!" he gave his fox grin.
The pink haired teen tightened her fist on his head without giving him a bonk she growled at him so he didn't get the wrong idea that it was a date but just spending time as friends" it's only because you said that going to the festival alone you will feel lonely!"
Naruto didn't have the chance to recuperate from her action before she smiled sniffing something good" hey I smell fried fish on a stick heh you're buying Naruto!"
She went ahead while the blond was following her through the different places to eat. Sakura went from one place to the other buying something while poor Naruto bought each of the things she took which it was a painful blow to his toad wallet. After going to over ten food stands Sakura had lots of bags full of food while Naruto was running low on money but it didn't mattered to him because she was enjoying herself in the festival and that's what matters to him. They went to play one of the games which was yoyo fishing using a small delicate net to catch one of the many fishes in the small pond, they played the game for a couple of minutes. Naruto obviously lost because he wasn't good in the game unlike Sakura who was pro in the game and won the grand prize. They left while Naruto checked his toad wallet it was completely empty.
He sighed' there goes all the money I've been saving from my missions.'
He smiled gazing at the pink haired kunoichi who was smiling' but I guess it was worthy Sakura-chan looks very happy!'
They left the festival walking alone the forest to take a better view at the fireworks spectacular that was about to begin. Naruto tried not to blush it felt kind of romantic to be walking alone in a dark forest with the girls he has liked since he could hardly remember. Sakura was only focusing on all the food and prizes she had won all thanks to Naruto's money, suddenly they heard someone coughing making them gasped.
"What was that?!" Sakura gulped.
"I don't know maybe were not the only ones walking this forest."
"Do you think that it could have been a….ghost?" she trembled.
"Oh come on Sakura-chan there's no such thing as ghost!" Naruto gave her a comfortable smile.
"Yeah you're right it's true silly me for asking."
Both of them turned pale when they felt something next to them turning their heads their eyes widened when they heard so branches being crushed, the action caused them to jump in fear.
"Ah ghost!!" Sakura got closer to Naruto snuggling on him without noticing it.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto had his eyes in heart shapes because this was the first time he has had the pink haired teen so close to him.
The pink haired kunoichi blushed realizing what just happened and punched him" what are you doing?!"
The blond recuperated from the blow when they saw the sky was filled with fireworks. Both teens smiled at the beautiful sight as they continued to gaze at the wonderful show.
Sakura took a quick glance at her blond teammate smiling before looking back at the sky" I hope we can watch the fireworks again together like this next year."
"Yeah…" replied Naruto smiling at her" I also hope that we can continue to being friends Sakura-chan."
"That's silly of course we'll remain friends Naruto."
"Friends forever?!"
"Yeah friends forever!"
The blond gave his fox grin" believe it!"
Sakura dried her tears looking at the picture' even back then I took advantage of him taking all his money, I mean I like being with him and I was happy but I didn't had any right to take all his money like that. I even brought money of my own that day and I never used it because I used Naruto-kun's instead, another reason why I don't deserve him.'
But no matter how much she said that she didn't deserve him, deep inside she needed him so much. He was part of her he was essential, important person in her life. Naruto is her earth her foundation upon which to grow she knew that now and his importance in her life, her feelings for him they will continue to grow like a cherry blossom tree. She understood the theory from the chunin exams thanks to Iruka about heaven and earth both needed each other, both compliment and become stronger together. Without one none of them can't coexist they are both tied like two magnetic poles she realized the theory long ago concerning herself and her blond teammate. She was heaven and he was earth and naturally they need each other because without the other they were incomplete, it's like they were destine to be together. But she was being her usual stubborn proud self and she didn't wanted to be with Naruto feeling unworthy of his feelings, she thought she was worthless when it come gaining the blonds' affections. Her train of thought was finally stopped when she heard someone knocking on her front door she went to answer the door. When she opened her jade eyes widened in shock at the person who was there in front of her someone she wanted to avoid in seeing so badly, when on the inside she desire him in secrecy.
"Na….Naruto-kun…"
The blond jounin stood quiet his eyes never left the cherry blossom in front of him. Now that he knew the truth about her he couldn't looked at her the same way he has always did, a huge pang of pain filled his heart just by gazing at her. He was feeling all the pain she has gone through in those three years and everything that he read from her diary came back to his mind. Here she was standing in front of him the woman who has sacrificed everything for the sake of his happiness, always thinking about him. The woman who loves him so much that she rather suffered watching him being with another girl then taking him for herself, his happiness was her top priority. No matter how much she has suffered she was still trying hard to gain his smile the one that reflected pure happiness, all this time she was the one who was secretly guiding him to the path of his happiness. To him she wasn't successful he didn't mean it in a cruel way but the truth that his true happiness has always been with her, no one else but his cherry blossom. Their eyes locked secretly admiring their beautiful eyes, cerulean and jade truly marvelous colors. The tall blond felt like crying but he did the best he could to show her that he was in pain as much as her, he forced a smile to greet her.
"Hey Sakura-chan…." He tried to do the traditional Uzumaki fake smile but he failed, his forced smile was predictable.
The pink haired medic noticed his expression and the tone of his voice' something is wrong with him, he sounds heartbroken his voice is so empty that's not the Naruto-kun I know and love.'
"What's wrong?" she kept her jade eyes only on him showing a lot of concern.
Naruto cursed in his mind he failed to keep his façade now she knew something was wrong with him. Sakura seems to be the only person who knew him so well that scared him, she probably knew him better than he knew himself. He maintained his force smile but it was a waste of time Sakura was staring at him looking very worried showing the kind of concern due to her strong inner feelings for him, because of the great love she feels for him.
"Naruto-kun…."
"It's nothing I just wanted to make sure you were….." he gasped noticing something about the pink haired woman" what the Sakura-chan what happened to your forehead?!"
She touched the scar on her forehead and laughed slightly" oh this….it's nothing just a little accident that happened I tripped on the floor hehe clumsy me…"
"You must have really hit yourself hard to have that nasty scar" Naruto was really worried he went closer to her checking the scar he touched it" does it hurt?"
"It's all right now Naruto-kun" she replied with a stutter having him so close to her she was blushing.
The tall blond was still staring pulling some of the strands of her pink hair away to take one long look at her beautiful face. Even with that bad scare on her forehead she was still the most beautiful woman he has ever laid eyes on to him, no one will ever change that. He rain his hands from her face to her shoulders not taking his eyes from her to think she has suffered so much for her selfness love for him, for his sake alone she chose to live her life with pain. What else can he expect from the woman he loves so much every inch of his strength he will be forever loyal to her the same way she will be forever loyal to him. Sakura was becoming embarrassed at the way he was staring at her but she didn't minded he can looked at her with so much devotion for as long as he likes, however temptation can be a pain in the ass and she could end up kissing him again.
She blushed" Naruto-kun what are you doing?"
The blond jounin answered her by pulling her into a hug which caught her by surprise and failed to sustain a blush. He hold her tightly not wanting to let her go he embraced her with the purpose to protect her from all the pain she has been through because of him. He took the role of being her strong shield that will shield her from any kind of harm so she didn't suffer anymore, no more tears will be shed as long as he was holding her in the protective embrace. He was holding his own tears realizing too late that she has suffered so much like he has both were in pain for being so selfless, a selfless love leads to a selfless sacrifice it was true. Sakura still blushing accepted his embraced and she was using every bit of her strength not to cry it felt so good to be hugged like this, especially if it was Naruto the object of her secret affections. She wrapped her arms around his back while he was using his hand to caress her pink hair hoping his hug will be enough to take all that pain away from her, sadly he knew it wasn't going to be enough. Sakura felt like her heart was ready to burst from her chest due that it was beating so fast but she wanted this, she wanted him for so long. He could have her in his arms forever and she would never complain because she felt like she was flying among the clouds heading for heaven.
Naruto gently broke the hug looking at her jade eyes with so much affection" I….sorry Sakura-chan for doing that if you want to hit me then go ahead I won't hold it against you…"
The pink haired kunoichi shook her head finally erasing her blushing" it's all right….you caught me off guard I won't do that I'm not a silly shallow girl anymore…"
The blond took a deep breath it was now or nothing" actually Sakura-chan there is a reason why I came here….we need to talk…"
"Talk…about what?" she kept her attention to him she had no idea what he wanted to talk to her about.
"Are you all right?" he still kept his topic in mind.
"Huh….yeah I'm okay why would you ask silly?" she gave a smile but it was force Naruto could easily tell it was fake.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
"You're not hurt because Sasuke broke up with you?" the blond took a step closer reaching eye contact with the pink haired woman.
"I guess I am but you know we have to overcome that pain and move on" she gave another force smile.
'She's really being stubborn Sasuke wasn't kidding' he gazed at her" Sakura-chan be honest with me when I ask you this, do you love Sasuke?"
"What of course I….love him even if he broke up with me I still….longed for him" she was trying so hard not to spill her tears the longer Naruto continues the conversation, the harder it was to keep lying to him.
"Sakura-chan I said be honest with me."
"I am being honest!" she took a step back" I really am I…." she lowered her gaze avoiding eye contact with him" I love Sasuke-kun…"
"Then look into my eyes and say it!" he raised her head so that she was looking at him" you have never said that when looking into my face, go ahead Sakura-chan say it looking at me I will believe you and I will leave you alone."
"I…..I….why are you doing this Naruto-kun?" her voice tremble staring into his gorgeous cerulean eyes.
"Answer me Sakura-chan please…."
"I…I love…….y…." tears were forming" let me go…."
"Sakura-chan?"
She broke free" I just realized there's something I have to do….I need to see Kakashi sensei. Naruto-kun you should go."
"Sakura-chan don't do this please….running away isn't the answer…."
"What are you talking about I'm not running away?" she was hurt because looking into his eyes she could see he was in pain she didn't know why until the blond hold her hand in order to calm her down" Naruto-kun…"
(Song title: Song for you by Lunatica)
You hold my hand when I tremble in fear
You bring me light when I burst out in tears
And now I want to thank you, dear, for all the things you've done
I can't deny (that) you showed me the right way
"Sakura-chan…" Naruto started caressing her hand" be honest with me because I think you don't really love Sasuke."
"Naruto-kun I told you I have to go….I need to….." tears were falling good she love what he was doing to her hand it was making her melt on the spot it felt so good.
"Don't run away anymore Sakura-chan let's face this together" he replied and by now tears have formed ready to fall he was in pain just like her.
"Why…why are you crying?" she felt more pain because he was crying she hated to see him cry.
"Because you're in pain Sakura-chan….I can clearly see it from looking into your eyes. I want to help you more than ever until you get rid of that pain but to do that first you have to be honest with me…"
Sakura's tears were still falling as Naruto gave a gentle squeeze to her hand she gazed into his lovable eyes, she was only thinking if there was a way to heal his pain instead of her own.
For the light, for the love
For the truth in your eyes
I am grateful to have such a friend by my side
For the tears, for the joy
For not asking why
We can hold our hands up and reach for the sky
"You don't love Sasuke that's the truth" Naruto with his other caressed the side of her pink hair.
Sakura glared at him pretending that she was angry with him when she was trying to avoid in telling the truth to him" you don't remember what I told you three years ago, we will always be friends I only…." She choked a sob.
"You what…three years ago you were able to say that sentence to me completely but you did said it turning your back on me so that doesn't count. You're looking into my face right now and you can't say it why is that Sakura-chan?"
She growled her face full of tears" I ….don't love you….Naruto!" she shouted and she hated herself she was truly a terrible liar she has always being one.
"You're lying it's even laughable you don't want to admit it I'm just asking you a simple question that it seems to be impossible for you to answer it truthfully. I don't believe you because you don't really love Sasuke now tell me the truth."
"I don't love you Naruto…." She choked on another sob" I will always see you as a friend get it through your thick skull!"
"You're lying again Sakura-chan please don't shut me down let me help you, let be the one to heal all that pain don't do this…." He gave her hand another gentle squeeze like he wanted to give her his strength.
You kept my faith when your words were untrue
You made me laugh when I was feeling blue
Always giving, never asking for more than a smile upon my face
Together we will conquer the whole world
"What are you talking about I'm feeling fine you're the one who's bugging me with this whole thing?!"
"Don't do this to yourself anymore Sakura-chan I won't let you. I won't let you feel any more pain, I'd rather die than seeing you suffering let me help you" by now Naruto's tears were falling Sakura's pain was his pain too like they were connected.
"I don't need any help Naruto-kun I…." she choked on another sob she has never felt so weak and helpless before.
"Yes you do I know how much you love me and don't you dare deny it. I know how much you are willing to go to keep me happy I know how much pain you're willing to endure just to see me give you just a smile. You're willing to do anything for me to keep me happy even if it includes for you to suffer, you don't care to die from a broken lonely heart if it means I will be happy with another woman."
"What…" Sakura tried to take a step back but the blond was still holding her" what are you saying?"
"The truth is you love me and your selfless love prevents you from being with me because you believe I can be happy with someone else except you I know that very well because that's exactly how I have lived my life when it involves you. You feel like you're not worthy of my love well you're wrong about that I think you're worthy enough for me Sakura-chan. Everything you have done for me that's the example that you're worthy of me, now are you going to keep saying that you love Sasuke?" Naruto smiled at her but tears were still falling.
(You) don't have to worry
We'll stay together all of our days
You can trust in my words, you can rely on me
And when dark clouds obscure the sky
I'll be at your side
Until the weight of your shoulders fades away
"Naruto-kun…." Sakura choked between sobs her heart was beating so fast.
"My selfless love for you I thought I wasn't worthy of your love Sakura-chan. Each day I will do the best I can to make you happy to keep that smile in your face, I step aside years ago so you chase Sasuke and let you be happy with him because you love. That's why I have dedicated myself and vowed to bring him back to the village, Sasuke was the only one who can make you happy and I will be the one to give you that happiness in secrecy" he smiled at her using his free hand dry her tears from her face but more fell.
Sakura's heart was ready to burst from her chest as more tears were falling" Naruto-kun you…"
"I love you Sakura-chan" he replied feeling so good that he has lifted that big weight from his shoulder finally saying those three words" I always have and I will continue to love you no matter what believe it!"
Hearing that her jade eyes widened in so much shock at that moment, the darkness inside of her representing her pain and suffering vanished inner Sakura was finally free. She had heard the three words he was about to tell her three years ago the words she thought she would never hear again coming from his mouth. This time the tears she was crying were now of pure joy and happiness, a wonderful feeling she has never felt before in her entire life. The feeling of having your romantic feelings being returned by the person you truly loved for a long time, she smiled even if she was still crying. She was so happy that she was unable to speak she couldn't say a single word no words could describe what she was feeling right now. Naruto smiled with equal feeling and cupped his hands on the sides of her face making sure his words were heartfelt and sincere.
"Sakura-chan I promise you that you won't suffer anymore I'm here now, I will protect you and I will be by your side forever" he smiled at her.
The pink haired medic was still in tears smiling' he loves me….after all these years he still loves me…'
"Naruto-kun…."
The tall blond pulled her closer and did something he wanted to do that he missed dearly since they kissed twice. He claimed her lips with his own in the most passionate kiss ever, their previous kisses were nothing compare to this one. Sakura returned the kiss with exact force and passion she moaned in his lips as she finally let lose her desires for the blond jounin, there was no need to hold back now. She loves him and he loves her too their love was accepted by both sides there was no need to break away and apologize, and best of all they no longer had a boyfriend or a girlfriend they were free to have a relationship of their own. Both started moaning in their mouths increasing the passion as they pulled closer increasing the satisfying feeling of the kiss, it wasn't long before they started having a full tongue war. Pretty soon both ninjas started running their hands over their body exploring each other, things which were considered as being intimate. Sakura ran her hands all over Naruto's body before touching his ass and gave it a light squeeze she love the feeling of the strong bottom. She made the first move as she send him to her room without breaking the intense passionate kiss they were going to finish what they started during their previous kisses.
(Lemon start)
The two ninjas arrived at Sakura's room and without breaking the kiss closed the door, both broke the passionate kiss due to the lacked of air. They started ripping each other's clothes expressing their intense sexual desire for the other she wanted him he wanted her there was no need for words but only action. They kissed once again while removing their clothes desperately Naruto removed Sakura's red blouse revealing her white t shirt, while the pink haired kunoichi removed his orange shirt. She took a break from kissing him fiercely to look at his muscle body it was perfect in every way he was a god his muscles were very developed because of his years of hard training. Naruto grinned at her while the pink haired gave an approval smile that she liked what he has to offer in body she kissed him again with a lot of force. Of course the one thing she wanted to see was hidden in his pants Naruto enjoyed himself and his hands reached down to her ass, he gave it a squeeze just like she did with his bottom. He didn't like that he couldn't get a good feel of it since she was still wearing her black tight skirt. He removed it revealing Sakura's pink lace panties he broke the passionate kiss to have a nice look at the sexy underwear she was wearing.
Sakura blushed at the way he was looking at her but she didn't care, she didn't felt any shame at all. She felt proud that he was staring at her with so much passion and lust she made her move as she reached for his pants and unbuttoned them. The blond jounin grinned as he removed his pants revealing to the pink haired woman his orange boxers, she tried not to drool or have a nose bleed at the huge tent that has formed in them. Naruto took his time to remove her white t shirt, now both adults were now in their underwear. Naruto in his orange boxers and Sakura in her bindings and pink lace panties, both have once again engaged in a passionate kiss. Their tongues were at war with each other while they were roaming their hands exploring their bodies their moans were loud filled with passion. Naruto ran his hands through her hair her back and eventually her ass, he touched it with both hands and gave it a good feel it was amazing. The pink haired beauty moaned at the touch as she did the same thing touching his body feeling the muscularity she was so wet and her body so hot, her hormones were basically killing her. Both ninjas broke their kiss panting trying to catch their breath they haven't lost eye contact with the other.
"Sakura-chan….I have dreamed of this moment since like forever…."
"I know Naruto-kun me too but the wait ends here. If you want me so much then take me I'm yours!" she said with so much passion expecting that her words will reach him and make him take action.
And take action he did as he kissed her once more moaning at the contact of their lips, Sakura wasted no time as she lead him to her bed. Both were now seated on the bed as they continue their passionate tongue kiss not caring if their saliva were mixing with the other, they didn't wanted this moment to end. He fondle her breast while giving her neck trails of endless kisses making the pink haired medic squirm she was loving every minute of it. Every action Naruto was doing to her was making her crazy and worked her hormones to go overdrive, she moaned with every single action he was giving to her. The tall blond grinned seeing the pink haired beauty so helpless and so aroused he was loving it so much, to think he will actually see her in such state her moans was music to his ears. The aroused blond reached her breasts once again touching them through the fabric of her bindings it seems Sakura beat him to it as she unstrapped them revealing to the blond one of the things he has been dying to see from the pink haired kunoichi. His eyes widened as he was taking a great view of her breasts, however it wasn't as he expected seeing her firm double D breast which her nipples were already erected. He never expect that they were big while the pink haired woman was blushing in embarrassment.
"Sakura-chan your breasts!"
"I….I wear bindings"
He grinned getting closer taking a long look at her double D beauties" so all this time you have been hiding the size of your breasts it's all right…it's all the better for me."
He took one of her breast into his mouth licking the nipple while blowing on it. It was enough for Sakura to give a loud moan that filled the entire room her cry of passion motivated the blond to continue with his ministrations. He used one of his hands to fondle and carefully massage her other breast he did all kinds of things to the erected nipple he kissed, blow, licked and sucked teasing the areola. His hormones have reached the turning point of his arousal and his carnal desires were kicking into high gear wanting to pleasure his cherry blossom forever. Once he was satisfied with giving the necessary treatment he went to her twin and gave the same treatment, poor Sakura was in his mercy moaning begging him not to stop. He ravaged and devoured her breasts while fondling he was determined to give the pink haired kunoichi the ultimate experience in sexual pleasure, he was going to deliver.
"Oooohhhh Naruto-kun yeah…..ooooh yes more…..oooooh suck my nipples harder oooohhh yesss!!!"
The tall blond stopped his actions looking at his pink haired beauty" do you like it Sakura-chan?"
"Yes Naruto-kun I love it please don't stop take me all the way!"
The blond jounin grinned as he resumed his actions on the pink haired medic. He was very good in this kind of thing since it wasn't the first time he has done this before he already did it with his ex girlfriend. Doing this with Hinata gave Naruto the experience he needed to pleasure his cherry blossom especially in the field of oral sex, but either way he was still a virgin. He fondle both of her breast as he licked and sucked each of her nipples causing the pink haired beauty to moaned louder she told him to take her all the way and that was exactly what he was going to do. His hand reached down and licked his lips seeing her wet panties proving of how high was her arousal he looked at Sakura who seemed to have read his mind giving him a nod, proof that she wanted him to take off her underwear. He reached down grabbing the fabric of clothing and quickly removed the pink lace panties revealing to him what he had always wanted to see from the pink haired kunoichi. He blushed as he was now staring at her wet womanhood her pussy was the same color as her hair with a patch of pink hair on the top. He grinned she was really a natural pink watching her in all her naked glory has fueled his hormones to their limits, he wanted her so badly. He smiled seeing her trembling in excitement blushing due to her embarrassment it was the first time her blond love was staring at her genital.
"You truly are the most beautiful woman in the entire world Sakura-chan."
"I already know how you feel about me your actions will be enough now Naruto-kun love me."
"As you wish my beautiful cherry blossom"
Sakura shaken in anticipation for the incoming pleasure as she saw the blond jounin plunging his face on her sex, he gave a lick to her outer walls. The pink haired medic gave the loudest moan so far as she got hold of the sheets of the bed tightening them with all of her strength. Using the knowledge he gained from Jiraiya about sex and his experienced with Hinata he knew how please the pink haired woman. He used his tongue to lick her outer walls while using his fingers to work on her clitoris he rubbed it rapidly working his tongue at the same tempo. The pink haired beauty was going crazy from all the pleasure she was receiving she moaned loudly begging to her blond love to not stop. She added pleasure herself as she pressed her breasts and started fondling them while pinching her nipples she moaned loving the blond jounin's ministrations he was doing an amazing job.
"Ooooh yes Naruto-kun more give me more yes ooooohhh ahhh…mmmm yeah eat my pussy!!!"
The tall blond comply her demands and resumed his action in oral sex. Once he was satisfied with using his tongue on her pussy he changed tactics he started licking her clitoris while using his fingers inside of her foils. The action was enough for Sakura to moan his name telling him how much she loved his actions and how much she loves him, he truly love the heavenly sound of her moans of pleasure. The pink haired medic continued playing with her breasts teasing her areolas, she moaned with every action Naruto was giving her. He changed tactics once again as he was now using his fingers and tongue on her vaginal walls and using his other hand to rub her clit giving Sakura triple pleasure. The pink haired kunoichi was finally reaching her climax she couldn't take it anymore the pleasure was building up too much she felt like she was exploded, she was near.
"Oooh dear Kami it feels so good ooohhh Naruto-kun yes oooohhh I'm almost there!!!"
The blond jounin was happy hearing that she was about to release her orgasm and continued his oral ministrations on his beloved cherry blossom. Sakura's jade eyes widened she finally felt it she was about to erupt it was too much for her and proof that Naruto did an amazing job on her.
"Naruto-kun I'm about to…..ahhhhh Naruto-kun!!!"
She arched her back her entire body tensed as she ended up ripping the sheets of her bed from the powerful orgasm that hit her. She released a huge wave of her juices most of it hit Naruto's face and he opened his mouth to drink her heavenly essence, he licked his lips at the wonderful taste. Her fluids were truly a satisfying drink that has helped him increase his sexual thirst over the lovely cherry blossom in front of him, seeing how strong her orgasm was he really did a very good job on her. He gazed at Sakura who was still feeling the afterglow of her orgasm she was panting while blushing, she has a satisfied expression on her face. She looked very pleased and he was happy he has satisfy her giving her oral sex of course it didn't helped that it only made the large erection he had on his boxers to grow even bigger that was starting to hurt him for keeping it concealed in his underwear. She was looking at Naruto with a pleasurable smile and she was looking more aroused than ever it wasn't over yet, they have just started with the real fun.
"How are you feeling Sakura-chan?" Naruto was very amused to ask such a question after seeing his cherry blossom having a powerful orgasm.
The pink haired medic licked her lips" very horny…."
He grinned until Sakura made him lied down on his bed" I guess it's my turn now eh?"
The pink haired kunoichi gave him a quick passionate kiss before her eyes fell on the huge tent that was even bigger than before on his orange boxers. She got closer and started planting kisses around it followed by quick licks it was enough for the blond jounin to groan at her actions. She continued her little teasing act while Naruto felt like he was going to explode his manhood was in pain for being concealed on his boxers while having a very effective erection. His eyes widened as the pink haired beauty used her mouth to take the covered manhood on her mouth her jade eyes were only on him seeing his pleasurable expression aroused her even more. But even someone like Sakura has her limits she has already reached the limit of her arousal she wanted to get it over with. She finally removed his orange boxers finally seeing what her blond love has to offer which left her shocked. Her mouth stood wide open her jade eyes were wide the size of plates at the sight of the blonds' manhood. Naruto's penis was big very promising in her eyes it was around eleven to twelve inches, the sight was enough to make the pink haired medic drool and licked her lips in satisfaction as a sign that she approves his manhood. She blinked seeing it throbbing like crazy proof of Naruto's arousal level it was truly waiting for the activity of penetration. As a medic ninja she has seen lots of pictures featuring the male reproductive organ but this, she wasn't expecting it to be so big.
The tall blond grinned at her expression" I'm guessing you like what you see Sakura-chan."
"Mmm damn right you are you're so big I feel like a little girl going to a candy store" she replied sultry and very aroused" I just picked a big candy cane and its all mine for the taking."
"It's all yours Sakura-chan" Naruto wanted her to give him oral already.
She licked her lips as she kissed his manhood making the blond jounin groaned. She gave a trail of kisses to his huge pillar of flesh and when she was satisfied she started licking it. She licked it up and down all the way to the tip of his shaft while a moan escaped from the blonds' lips it was music to Sakura's ears. Without warning she opened her mouth and took his cock in taking half of the pillar of flesh, it was enough for the blond jounin to give a loud moan. The pink haired medic began bobbing her head up and down as she hungrily sucked his hard cock Naruto groaned loving it the pink haired woman was sucking him like a vacuum. She sucked him rapidly while every now and then she licked his huge accessory while stroking it with the same rapid speed from her sucking. The tall blond braced himself trying to find something to hold him down from all the pleasure he was feeling, he admitted Sakura was giving him a blowjob even better than Hinata. He caressed her pink hair watching her take his eleven inch member like her life depended on it, she was definitely showing no mercy to his pillar of flesh. Suddenly she stopped on her actions making Naruto blinked he was almost there to reaching his climax.
"Sakura-chan why….why did you stopped it felt so good?"
She smiled to him in a very seductive way" I have something better in mind Naruto-kun. I've been wanted to do this for a while get ready."
The blond had no idea what she had in mind when he saw her right hand glowing with green chakra she was using medical ninjutsu" Sakura-chan why are you….ahhhh shit it feels so good!!!"
The pink haired medic smiled as she was stroking his hard cock with her hand glowing with green chakra, she was using medical ninjutsu to stimulate the pleasurable feeling on his manhood. It was really working well as Naruto was groaning in pleasure screaming Sakura's name begging her not to stop.
She smiled at him loving his pleasurable expression" you see Naruto-kun being a medic ninja has its benefits I get to learned all kinds of ways to stimulate muscles and other human body parts. This is my most recent discovery using medical ninjutsu on the male reproductive organ is very effective on men, since they're very sensitive in that area just like women are sensitive on their breasts. The male will feel twice the pleasurable feeling on their penis like they were masturbating or getting oral sex if it's treated by using a simple healing jutsu. I can see by looking at your face that it's very effective on you."
"Oh yes Sakura-chan it feels so good you're amazing please don't stop!!!" shouted the blond loving her new treatment.
"I'm glad you like it and this is where the best part starts."
Naruto's eyes widened as Sakura was licking and sucking the tip of his shaft while stroking his cock with her hand glowing with green chakra. He groaned feeling more pleasure than ever it was amazing like he was living in a wonderful dream, he was ready to die and go to heaven. He caressed her hair while moaning he couldn't take it anymore he was finally reaching his climax he didn't know how much he could take or last for the matter. The pink haired beauty quickened her actions causing the blond jounin to groaned calling out her name telling her not to stop and demanding that she goes faster. It was coming his orgasm was near and it was going to be a huge explosion from all the pleasure that build up thanks to the ministrations of his cherry blossom.
"Ahhhh Sakura-chan I'm going to come I can't hold on anymore!!!"
The pink haired medic stopped her sucking hearing and was now stroking his pillar of flesh with both hands opening her mouth to receive his seed. She used her other hand to perform medic ninjutsu as well to increase the pleasure on the blond, she licked her lips hungrily wanting to taste his cum. Naruto's cerulean eyes widened feeling his orgasm arriving he groaned loudly ready to hold for his dear life.
"Sakura-chan!!!"
The pink haired kunoichi really felt it she moaned as her face was hit by a powerful blast of hot thick cum, there was so much that she couldn't take all of it in her mouth. She smiled at the cum bath she took the ounces of Naruto's seed from her face and lick it tasting it, she liked both the taste and the smell. Naruto watched as the aroused Sakura hungrily drank his cum truly satisfied by its taste, watching her was really turning him on even more. She looked so perverted drinking his cum like her life depended on it but she enjoyed it a lot licking the white creamy fluid. He watched her as she has cleaned herself from the facial caused by his orgasm sucking on her fingers like she enjoyed a fine tasty meal.
"Yummy it was so good you're cum tasted so good Naruto-kun!"
He grinned at her comment" my Sakura-chan you really are a pervert and to think you were always complaining and hitting me because I'm a pervert, how the tables have turned."
The cherry blossom gave his manhood a couple of strokes giving him an innocent expression" I can be very perverted when I want to, I can be a real slut whenever I'm with you like this Naruto-kun."
"I know same here but Sakura-chan how about if we get to the main event?"
The pink haired medic grinned with a nod" yes I think it's time that we both fulfill our ultimate fantasy."
Naruto and gently traded places wanting to do it the classic position with him on top of her, she smiled waiting for this moment to finally arrive. Naruto was in the same boat how he dreamed of this moment in his entire life something he thought it will only happen in his dreams he was wrong. Sakura loved him with the same selfless loves like his love for her and both of their feelings for each other was deep and strong. Both needed this, the only way to express their undying eternal love for the other by doing the ultimate intimate act, the act of their bodies becoming one. But both kept one thing in mind that it was important, they were both virgins.
"Naruto-kun go easy on me it's my first time okay?"
"I know Sakura-chan it's my first time too this will be new to me."
She smiled ever happily" I'm glad I'm going to be your first."
"Me too my first and only, don't worry Sakura-chan I will be very gentle I promise."
He assured her by giving her a soft kiss which she accepted once they broke it she nodded to him to continue that she was ready to experience her first penetration. The blond jounin positioned himself steadily guiding his hard manhood into Sakura's wet entrance, her love fluids will be enough as lubricant to help ease the penetration act. However Naruto loved her too much to see her feeling any pain he knew the first time was going to be painful for the female and he wanted to do anything to ease that pain. He saw her expression she was ready for this to her the pain was just another test to have the love of her blond has already experienced worst pain this won't slow her down. She nodded him telling him that it was all right that there was no need to hold back and have doubts about it, he resumed with his action. The tip of his shaft reached womanhood just mere inches before entering Naruto erased all his doubt knowing that Sakura was willing to take the pain for him and only him. Because like him she will do anything for him it was the reason she existed. He slowly entered her pussy causing the pink haired woman to flinch in pain he got scared stopping in the middle of the act.
"Sakura-chan are you okay?!"
"I'm fine please don't stop I want this so badly" she replied smiling at him.
"But I…."
"Naruto-kun I know you too well you can't stand to see me in any kind of pain but this pain is necessary to test our love for each other. If you truly love me you will want me to feel this pain, besides this pain won't last long."
He nodded ready to resume the penetration" forgive me Sakura-chan."
The pink haired kunoichi gave him a sultry smile" you won't be apologizing to me when the pain is gone."
He chuckle at her comment and continue with the intimate act, this time he did it slower than before. His hard cock enter little by on her womanhood however Sakura was still feeling the pain flinching, the pain caused to shed some tears. Naruto comforted her by kissing her lips while whispering in her ear that he loved her very much and that everything was going to be all right. He has entered completely on her pussy before he reached something not so solid but he had a feeling what it was, after all Jiraiya has told him all about it. While traveling with the toad sanin he told him that all female virgins have something called a barrier that it was the living proof that they were pure and the symbol that made them virgins. It was also symbolized as the proof of their innocence in intimacy when the sexual act of penetration begins the male slowly breaks her barrier with his manhood. Breaking down that barrier was the cause of all the pain the female will be experiencing during the intimate act, however there was a good side to this. The pain wasn't meant to last forever there will come a time that the female will no longer feel pain and she will be experiencing sexual pleasure, he hoped that the pain goes away already he hated to see his cherry blossom in pain.
"Sakura-chan…."
"Please don't stop I'm fine" she replied giving him a kiss.
Naruto nodded and resumed his action he slowly moved himself inside of her breaking her barrier as steady as he could, anything to soften the pain from Sakura. With a couple of soft movements he broke the flesh tissue that it was once the symbol of her virginity and soon her pain was fading away. The blond jounin moved slowly inside of her before he realized that the pink haired kunoichi has changed her expression, she looked more like she was feeling pleasure than pain. She has finally gotten used to the sheer size of his manhood that tables have turned completely. Sakura's soft cries of pain were now replaced by soft moans of pleasure and satisfaction, now she finally loved the intimate act. Naruto continued to thrust his cock in her pussy but listening to her moaning his name in ecstasy was giving him the idea that perhaps he should go a little faster, not to mention that he loved this it felt very good. Sakura's womanhood felt amazing it was so hot inside he smiled as he groaned pounding inside of her slowly while moaning her name. Pretty soon he started to increase the speed the pleasure getting bigger and better both ninjas started moaning in passion while saying sweet nothings to the other.
"OOhhhhhhh Naruto-kun yes faster dear Kami go faster it feels soooo good ooohhh more!!!"
"Sakura-chan it so good you're so beautiful I will give it to you now!!!"
"Yes give it to me good!!!"
The tall blond pinned her legs as he continued his sexual assault on his cheery blossom groaning with each thrust he gave. Sakura moaned louder with each pounding not wanting this to end it felt so good it was as pleasurable and amazing as she thought it would be. Her erotic dreams were nothing compare to the real thing she imagined the performance of the blond to be amazing and she was right, he was truly out of this world. His inhuman stamina gave him the energy and strength he needed to pound her rapidly moaning her name fulfilling his sexual fantasy with the pink haired beauty. Both moaned in passion as they continued the act of sex their bodies were now filled with sweat due to the intensity of their hardcore workout. Sakura squeezed her breast as she continues to be punished pleasurably by Naruto's cock she teased her areolas and pinched her nipples, as she moans her blond love's name.
"OOooohhhh Naruto-kun yes fuck me faster deeper harder!!!"
"Sakura-chan your pussy feels so good I don't want to stop!!!"
Once Naruto got satisfied with the position he changed putting Sakura on her back using the position of doggy style. He licked his lips taking a good look at her amazing well developed ass, in his mind the only sentence that came was baby got back. The pink haired kunoichi was really bootylicious he could stare her ass all day but it was even better to pound her pussy while watching it bounce with each of his thrusts. He penetrated her again causing Sakura to moan his name he resumed his pounding, he gave a couple of spankings to her ass in addition to the sexual treatment. He pounded her rapidly while grabbing her nice ass moaning at the pleasure both ninjas were following the erotic rhythm of their bodies. The one thing that both of them loved so much was the erotic sound of Naruto's pelvis smacking on her ass it was such a turn on. He was done with her ass and went to grabbed her tits squeezing them while the pink haired woman was lost in all the pleasure, lust has taken over her completely that she couldn't think straight anymore.
"Oooohhh yeah Naruto-kun fuck me harder yes ooohhhh fuck my pussy more!!!"
"Sakura-chan oh shit it's so good oh baby my cherry blossom!!!"
The blond jounin got satisfied with the position so he decided to change, only this time Sakura was the one who made the change. She made him lie down on her bed and she straddle him up she wanted to be on top, with a perverted grin she started lowering her hips moving to the rhythm of her body. Naruto wasn't going to stay there and do nothing he grabbed her hips and started moving his cock inside of her pussy pounding her up and down once again her gave her ass a few spankings while Sakura moaned louder begging him to continue the sexual punishment on her pussy and the spankings. Both ninjas added more passion as they shared a deep passionate kiss using their tongues to have a wild war, they continued doing her workout followed by their cries of lust and passion.
"Naruto-kun more ooooohhh aaahhhh give me more my wonderful blond!!!"
"Sakura-chan you're so good and so tight you're amazing oh shit!!!"
Both continued their sexual workout however all good things must come to an end both of them were reaching the end of the line. All the pleasure they have experienced was finally building up that will finally lead to one big conclusion it wasn't long now, both ninjas were reaching their climax. They stared into each other's eyes while doing their intimate act among all the lust and arousal reflected in their eyes they could see that they were about to have their orgasm. They could feel that it was going to be a huge blow from the sexual impulse but they wanted to see this through the end, as they kissed one more time.
"Naurto-kun oooohhhhh I'm almost there I'm going to come!!!"
"Me too Sakura-chan I'm ready to come too!!!"
"Come with me Naruto-kun come inside of me!!!"
"Oh Sakura-chan!!!"
As they were about to reached their climax Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer wanting to stare at him as he releases his orgasm. Both moaned as they gasped they finally reached their climax because of their best given efforts in the workout.
"Naruto-kun I'm coming!!!"
"Sakura-chan I'm coming too!!!"
Both ninjas moaned loudly as their orgasms hit them hard like a heavy explosion they were both locked in loving embrace. Naruto groaned as he shot a huge load of his cum inside of Sakura's pussy and the pink haired woman moaned as she felt hot cum stirring inside of her all the way to her uterus. She didn't had to worry about getting pregnant as a medic ninja she always take shots to prevent pregnancy it was better than taking birth control pills. Even when the amazing feeling of their orgasm was gone both of them didn't let go of the other they were still in each other's arms. They were still staring at each other before they smiled feeling beyond happy that they have shared this intimate act together, they shared another passionate kiss. There was nothing to worry about they were finally together after enduring so many hardships together, their love was so powerful that together they have overcome all those hard challenges. Once they broke the kiss they resumed to be in the loving embrace letting time passed, they didn't care how long they stay in their arms because the important thing is that they have each other.
Finally Heaven and Earth became one.

"Naruto-kun bring the ice cream!"
"I'm on it!"
The naked Naruto took a bowl of vanilla ice cream from Sakura's freezer along with two spoons. He left the kitchen heading back to her room, entering he came back to see a happy Sakura whose naked body was wrapped in her blanket. The newly formed couple happily started eating from the ice cream like a bunch of eager little kids who were dying to eat some tasty sweets. Both smiled as they used the large spoon to take a lot of ice cream, after making love and becoming an official couple they felt like they wanted to eat something sweet. Lucky for them that Sakura bought the ice cream for those days that she gets a sweet tooth, it was going to be one of those memorable days in their relationship that they were going to enjoy forever. Naruto took another spoon of ice cream the same with Sakura then she was the one giving him ice cream from her and he did the same, smiling at each other very happy. Some of the ice cream fell on Naruto's chest because of Sakura's little mistake she smiled at him as she licked the ice cream from his muscle chest. The blond jounin chuckle at her action putting some ice cream on purpose on her breast and licked it off making her moaned a little smiling at his naughty action, before pulling her close and they locked lips in a short make out session. Both moaned softly pulling each other closer enjoying the kiss no time was better than now for them.
They broke the kiss smiling at each other no words were said it's like they could read their minds. They stood gazing into their eyes just admiring how beautiful they are, they couldn't be any happier. Both thought that it was probably just a happy dream that they were experiencing but it couldn't any more real they were really together, a couple, an item. They were now part of a committed relationship that both of them were willing to take after everything they have gone through to fulfill their wonderful dream. They were still smiling this day will be remember for the rest of their lives, Sakura caressed his whiskers seeing him purred like he was a cat. She has come to find his sweet spot never realizing that he was sensitive in his whiskers seeing him smiled at her made her so happy. He was happy because he was together with her but there was still something missing, something she still hasn't said to him before making love to him.
"Sakura-chan" Naruto smiled happily at her.
She smiled caressing his whiskers marks" I love you so much."
She felt so relief like a heavy burden has been finally lifted from her when she said that. She has finally said those three words after all these years now she truly felt complete, she didn't had anymore regrets just like Tsunade told her in her last words.
Naruto blushed silly giving her his fox grin which made him looked so cute and adorable" thanks Sakura-chan you already know how I feel about you. I still can't believe this is really happening I just hope I don't wake up if this is a dream."
"Me too I can't believe this is happening but now that has happened I have no regrets. Naruto-kun I am truly happy to be with you I love you and you don't know how happy I am to find out that you have love me all these years. I'm so thankful you have waited so long for me to return your feelings."
"Thank you Sakura-chan you don't know how happy I am to hear you say that. I promise you I will make you happy for the rest of your life believe it!"
She smiled again giving another caress to his whiskers" you already have you dummy but I have to ask you how….how did you do it?"
Naruto gave a deep thought" well I got on top of you so I could penetrate…"
Sakura hit him on the head" not that you idiot I'm talking about how were you able to survive all this time while sacrificing your own happiness for me without going insane. I've been doing in it for three years and it was killing me and you were doing in it even longer than me so how?"
The tall blond gave her a big smile" I just never thought of the pain but rather the fact that I was able to make you happy Sakura-chan….your smile gave me strength and the will continue fighting for my dreams and goals. I will do anything for you because to me it was the reason I exist."
The pink haired medic kissed his lips softly leaning her head on his shoulders" you wonderful loveable idiot….thank you for everything Naruto-kun."
"No Sakura-chan thank you for everything" he kissed her forehead.
"Then I guess were now even…"
He gave a goofy grin blushing" so Sakura-chan since its official that we…I mean us are together I realized now that were in a relationship, we must be honest to each other now more than ever no matter what. I think that's being in a relationship is all about trust, confidence, faith, honesty pervy sage told me about those things in a relationship. He said that it was essential to have those qualities, it was one of the last things he taught me before he passed away" his cerulean eyes softened a little.
The pink haired medic blushed while smiling at him" Jiraiya-sama had really taught you well Naruto-kun and he's right. Those are the qualities that are needed in order for a relationship to be perfect too bad that he also taught you to be a pervert too."
He chuckle giving another goofy grin" I know about that so I decided to be honest with you by telling you something important. I need to come clean about this Sakura-chan I have to tell you now before I regret it for not telling you sooner."
Her jade eyes widened in shock and fear" you're not going to break up with me already aren't you?"
"What no of course not I would never do something like that!?" shouted the blond jounin.
"Then you're not cheating on me you better not I will dig your own grave and turn your body into dust?" she glared at him.
"Not that either Sakura-chan I would never cheat on you!"
"Sorry for asking I guess I had the right to say it" she gave her own goofy grin.
"Look Sakura-chan what I must tell you is…." Naruto paused he knew she was going to get angry if he tells her but she needed to know he shouldn't be hiding things from her in the first place.
"Naruto-kun what's wrong?" the pink haired woman got worried seeing his expression.
He sighed" I…I read….I read your diary."
"What…..what?" her jade eyes hardened getting upset.
"It's true I read your diary….that's how I found out about everything you have done for me and about your feelings for me I'm sorry for reading it. I know I didn't had the right to read it in the first place because it's wrong to read someone else's diary, it's that person private life and I shouldn't have done that I'm really sorry" he finished with a gulp' please Sakura-chan don't kill me.'
"You….." she started tightening her fist and glaring at him" you read my diary, you read it completely every single entry?!"
"Well not everything I didn't read it entirely I just a couple of things, even the entries when you were fantasizing about me…"
His eyes widened in fear seeing her angry expression' oh shit I'm in so much trouble.'
"Narutoooo!!!" she glared at him" you are so dead!"
"Ahhh please Sakura-chan don't kill me!"
"Come back here!"
A scared naked Naruto was now running for his life from an angry naked Sakura as she started chasing him all around her apartment, looks like some things will never change.
(Time skip)
(Location: Ino's house urban district Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)
Ino decided to throw a kunoichi party as a way to celebrate her moving out into her new home, not that she feels sorry for not inviting the boys. She has been looking forward to have a girl party for a while so she can talk with her friends since it's been a while there had ever done a kunoichi day out or night out for the matter. They were in the living room and she has prepared everything for the party with some help from her boyfriend Chouji she had a large table with all kinds of food and snacks. The kind of food that will make Chouji eat all out and leave nothing behind, the better reason why she chose not to have her boyfriend here. Tenten, Hinata and Temari who was already living in Konoha since the construction of the Suna station have started. She was living with Shikamaru's family of course her stay in the Nara residence wasn't permanent, at least until they finished with the construction of the station. They were just talking waiting for the rest of the group to come, until Kurenai arrived with her son Hiruzen which he was the only boy in the party.
"Oh Hiruzen is finally here!" Ino went to the baby and started giving him goofy looks" you're such a cute baby yes you are!"
The girls gathered around the three year old smiling and how cute he is, what come natural to women when they see a child.
"You all seemed to be happier to see my son than me?" Kurenai said with a smirk.
"Come on Kurenai sensei you know it's nothing like that were happy to see you too" Hinata replied.
"I'm just kidding I wouldn't miss a chance to get together with you guys it's been a long time since we have a party like this one" replied the genjutsu mistress.
"All right party!"
The group sweat dropped as they saw Anko entering with her usual grin she frowned looking around" you guys call this a party where the hell is the stripper?!"
"Kurenai sensei?" Ino got closer to the red eyed woman" why is she here?"
"Come on Ino Anko is my friend and besides she wanted to come too."
"We're glad to see you too Anko" Tenten said not minding having the snake mistress here.
"I had my doubts coming here I thought there was going to be some entertainment though."
Temari sweat dropped at her comment" I believe this is a get together party for kunoichi only not a bachelorette party."
"Yeah I figure that out that sure brings back memories" the snake mistress gave a grin" reminds me of that bachelor party I was the main attraction, that Inuzuka was a good fuck."
Hearing that the kunoichis eyes widened while some had their mouths wide open too shocked to say a word, Kurenai gave a sigh she has already covered her son's ear from hearing the curse word.
"Oh my you were that snake stripper at Kiba's bachelor party!" Tenten said shocked.
"You actually…." Temari started while Hinata was blushing.
"Yeah I fucked him!" Anko replied happily.
Kurenai was still covering her son's ears and ended up putting him to sleep with a genjutsu" I should it known…I already came prepared for these kinds of emergencies when you're involved Anko."
"You know me!" the snake mistress grinned.
The Yamanaka coughed wanting to change the topic" moving on everyone feel free to eat whatever you like it is a party after all."
"Thanks I will at least you have dango" Anko went to the table and took a dango stick she started eating it.
The group followed the snake mistress to the table enjoying the food while Ino noticed someone was missing from the group' well everyone is here except Sakura where are you forehead?'
"Hey everyone sorry for coming so late!" Sakura came smiling so happily.
The group turned to see the pink haired medic smiling at her they were happy to see her , some of them thought she wasn't going to show up since they heard that Kakashi put her under house arrest for drinking sake at work. Now they knew something was up with the pink haired woman just by looking at the huge smile on her face they have never seen her so happy before, which made them to believe she was hiding something. Ino as her best friend already something was up with Sakura that smile she was giving was unique expressing one of true happiness, something amazing must have happened to her to have that smile on. Which lead the platinum blond to believe the most obvious reason ever because her best friend was very readable like an open book not to mention she knew her better than anyone, next to Naruto that is she grinned feeling like teasing her a little it was going to be fun.
She pointed a finger to Sakura" you see that ladies that's the face of a woman who just had nonstop sex?!"
The kunoichis started laughing. Anko laughed trying not to choke on her dango, Hinata wa chuckling but not laughing too loud like Tenten and Temari and Kurenai was just smiling trying not to laughed.
Sakura's whole face turned red from the embarrassment because she really did slept with Naruto her new boyfriend" Ino!"
"Calm down Sakura I was just kidding shessh it's not like you were having nonstop sex right?" the Yamanaka gave an evil grin.
The pink haired medic was still blushing remembering her sex session with Naruto, every single action he did to her and how good it felt. The way the tall blond pounded her rapidly with his hard cock, the way he touched her, the way he spank her ass and their cries of passion from their love making. Her blushing became worst thinking of the intense erotic images from her first intimate moment with the tall blond it was making her feel so hat and wet, it made her wonder where was Naruto when she needed him the most.
"Sakura-san are you all right?" Hinata said worried looking at her.
"Hmm….oh yeah I'm fine sorry for spacing out but anyway I'm here we can start the party now right?"
"Right now the reason I made this get together party for us kunoichi is because we have a new kunoichi who will be part of our village" Ino smiled putting Temari on the center" Temari right here will be taking permanent residence here in Konoha so she can run the new Suna station that is currently under construction."
"Congratulations Temari-san" Hinata said.
"Welcome to Konoha Temari-san" Sakura replied.
"This will make it even better we can finally have our rematch from the chunin exams, I have been waiting to fight you since you beat me" Tenten said looking at her rival.
"If you can take me on that is" replied the sand kunoichi with a grin" but anyway thank you all for the welcome I will be happy living in Konoha."
"We'll see about that" frowned the bun haired woman.
"That's enough we didn't come here to start a fight this is a party" Kurenai said carrying the sleeping Hiruzen in her arms.
"Yeah but it's always fun to have some entertainment around here since there's no stripper" Anko replied with her mouth full of dango causing everyone to sweat dropped.
"Let's enjoy the party shall we?" Ino said ignoring the snake mistress's comment" by the way Temari we know the real reason you want to stay in the village it's because you want to be with Shikamaru" she grinned evilly.
The sand jounin blushed growling" that's not true….this is a mission from Gaara who wants to have a Suna station build in Konoha to strengthen the alliance with both villages and he chose me to be the one in charge of the station, this is just another mission concerning business!" she was still blushing remembering that she came up with this idea to be with the Nara.
"Relax Temari-san Ino was just kidding don't get too worked up about it" Sakura said.
"I agree we should enjoy this party" Hinata replied.
"Right let's chow down I made all of these food of course my sweetheart Chouji helped me with the cooking he's very good" Ino said smiling.
The group went back to the table to resume their eating, while they were at it they started talking to Temari. Everyone was laughing together just spending time with each other while Sakura was quiet staring at Ino and Hinata. After what has happened to her she couldn't take it anymore she needed to tell someone about her new relationship with Naruto, who else is better for that role than her best friend she also felt like telling Hinata too. The Hyuga kunoichi has also become a very close friend of her since she wanted her to be happy with the blond jounin, she went to them who were eating with the rest of the kunoichis.
"Guys?" she called to them.
"Sakura-san?" Hinata stared.
"What's up?" Ino replied.
"Can we talk somewhere else?"
The two kunoichis looked at each other something was up if she wanted to talk to them in private.
"Sure let's go outside" Ino said.
They left the living room heading outside of the house. Ino was curious not having a clue what her best friend wanted to talk to her as well as Hinata, she was interested though. She remembers the huge smile on the pink haired woman's lips it was a true smile that reflects that the person was really happy, the kind of smile she hasn't seen in her for a long time. It made her wonder what was she hiding perhaps she was about to tell them the suspense was killing her, unlike Hinata. The Hyuga was just calm curious nothing like the Yamanaka who was almost ready to bite her nails from the suspense. Sakura was hoping that they didn't freak out she was hoping that they take the news well and be happy for her.
"So what do you want to tell us?" asked the platinum blond.
"Well I just have to tell somebody about this…..I need to tell somebody. You guys are the only ones that came to my mind so I want to tell you guys."
"What is it?" asked Hinata.
"Yeah don't keep us in suspense any longer Sakura and tell us."
"It's about Naruto-kun?"
"Naruto-kun what about him?" Hinata blinked.
"Aha!" shouted Ino" I'm going to take a guess that you told him how you feel and you two got together is that it?!"
"Is it Sakura-san?" Hinata was smiling at her.
The pink haired kunoichi blushed but she gave a big smile and a nod" you're right….I'm together with Naruto-kun."
She never saw it coming as Ino and Hinata gave her a big hug cheering for her. The hug made her spill tears knowing that they have been waiting for her to finally get together with the blond jounin, of course they believed she was the one that told him about her feelings when it wasn't true. She was planning on telling them the truth they deserve to know. They broke the hug smiling at her feeling so proud of her.
"It's about time you finally tell him" Ino replied.
"Congratulations Sakura-san I'm glad that you and Naruto-kun are finally together" smiled Hinata.
She wiped a tear from her eyes smiling at them" thank you both of you I'm truly happy I really am. I have never been this happy in my entire life…just being with him together…"
"Were very happy with you Sakura we knew Naruto was going to accept your feelings, I mean the guy have been in love with you for Kami knows for how long?" replied the Yamanaka.
"I know but it wasn't me who made a the first move on him, I didn't tell him about my feelings Naruto-kun knew from a valuable source of information."
"What do you mean?" Hinata was curious along with Ino.
"It seems that he found out everything I have done for him by reading my diary, and the one who gave him the diary was Sasuke-kun."
Ino gasped" Sasuke gave Naruto your diary and he read it?!"
"Yup that's about it sure I was angry at Naruto-kun for reading it but now that I think about it. I'm glad Sasuke-kun did what he did because if he hasn't done that I would have never told Naruto-kun the truth. I would still be feeling miserable that I'm not worthy for him, but that doesn't mean I'm not angry with Sasuke-kun though…" Sakura's jade eyes flashed in anger thinking about the Uchiha.
Hinata was still shocked that Sasuke took Sakura's diary and gave it to Naruto before she smiled.
"Hinata do you trust me?"
"Yes I do."
"Then let me handles this and don't tell the others all right?"
"Okay I understand."
'I see so that was what Sasuke-kun had in mind after all, it wasn't bad idea it was the only way for Naruto-kun to know the truth' Hinata smiled thinking about the Uchiha' you really are a true friend Sasuke-kun you may not realize it yet….'
"I guess Sasuke made you and Naruto get together you should thank him for his good deed" Ino said.
"I know I will I owe him a lot it's because of him that Naruto-kun and I are a couple and we had…." She gasped as she blushed she almost let it slip.
Both kunoichis got alarmed hearing that as they went closer to her, their eyes were the size of dinner plates. They already had an idea what she was about to say but they wanted confirmation from the pink haired woman.
"Sakura…..were you about to say that you and Naruto…." Ino started.
"No it's nothing like that I….we didn't have sex!" she replied still blushing she gasped" oops…wait its not true I…."
"Busted!" the Yamanaka said with a grin" so it's true you and Naruto get it on already eh…."
Hinata was blushing from the embarrass topic before Ino got next to her" well Hinata looks like you're the only virgin of the kunoichi group."
"Ino-san…." The Hyuga kunoichi lowered her head in disappointment.
"Oh Ino stop it already you make it sound like it was some kind of competition of who will be the first to lose their virginity."
"So you don't deny that you slept with Naruto?" the Yamanaka was grinning.
"No it's true I won't deny it, besides you will keep on bugging me about it until I tell you the truth" replied the pink haired medic.
"True!" she replied happily.
"But anyway I also wanted to talk to you guys for another reason" Sakura took a small bag from her skirt pocket" I have something for you guys."
"A gift?" Hinata asked with a smile.
"Ah Sakura you shouldn't have what is it?" Ino said.
"No I wanted to you two are my closest friends and I want to thank you for trying your best to make me see how wrong I was. You two did whatever you could to see the errors of my ways and follow my heart when in concerns Naruto-kun. I guess this gift is the best way to express my gratitude for the two of you for being great friends."
The two kunoichis were very curious to know what kind of gift Sakura gave them they anxiously waited for her to show them their gifts. They gasped when they saw her taking from the small bag two gold bracelets she gave each to Ino and Hinata. The two kunoichis were in awe at the beautiful bracelets each of them had their initials engraved at the inside of the bracelet telling that it rightfully belongs to them Y I for Yamanaka Ino and double H for Hyuga Hinata. There was also a quote engraved at the top of the bracelet saying" friends forever" the sight was enough to bring them to tears. They gazed at Sakura who has taken her own gold bracelet it also had her initials H S with the same quote on the top. She smiled at them hoping that they like the gift symbolizing her appreciation to them for being true friends and she knew she has given them a great gift. She looked at them at they had tears in their eyes the two kunoichis were beyond happy with their gifts they quickly gave Sakura another hug happy that she has taken her time to buy them such gifts.
"Thank you very much Sakura you didn't have to" sobbed Ino.
"Thank you Sakura-san it's so beautiful I love it" Hinata replied with a sob.
"It's okay like I said I wanted to you guys earned it for being true friends thank you."
They broke the hug in tears.
"Sakura I will cherish this forever I really like it" the Yamanaka died her tears.
"Me too you're a true friend too Sakura-san" replied the Hyuga kunoichi.
"I'm glad you two like it these bracelets symbolize our friendship as long as we have them our friendship will never die."
"They're beautiful…." Ino said looking at her bracelet more tears were falling.
Sakura smirked feeling like teasing her friend" now who's being a cry baby" she remembered that she used to be the cry baby when she was little.
"Oh shut up you're ruining the moment."
"They must have being a little expensive" Hinata replied.
"They are but let's just say I have a friend who gave me a discount on the jewelry store."
Ino grinned getting closer to the pink haired woman" so Sakura I forgot to ask you was Naruto good in bed?"
"What?!" shouted the blushing Sakura.
"Yeah was he good and how big is he?"
"That is none of your business Ino pig!" she shouted using Iruka's evil big head jutsu still blushing at the question.
"Oh come on don't be such a party bopper I told you how good Chouji was in bed and how big his penis is why can't you tell me the same about Naruto?"
"Yes but I'm different I'm not like you who likes telling things that resolves around sex just for the fun of it."
"Come on tell me" the Yamanaka gave her the sad puppy eyes.
"No drop the topic already!"
"Please."
"No!"
Hinata couldn't help it and she started laughing at the scene watching Ino acting like a eight year old spoiled brat trying to convince Sakura to tell her about her boyfriend's sexual skills and his penis size.
(Time skip: the next day)
(Location: Hokage memorial ground Konoha graveyard hidden leaf village fire country territory)
Naruto and Sakura were standing on the memorial monument of Tsunade, they were having one of their visits to the former fifth Hokage. Every day they will visit her grave to honor her memory by changing the flowers that Sakura always placed on her grave, the pink haired kunoichi placed the new set of flowers changing the old ones. Naruto put his hand on her shoulder in order to conform her but she smiled at him she was all right at least this time. She will usually cry every time she visited her grave with exception of today she smiled gazing at the large monument with her grave stone, this time she was happy. She knew if her teacher was still with them she will be proud of her to surpass her in everything even love, in the end she was together with the blond jounin. That was what the slug sanin wanted for her to do her happiness she was truly destine to become an even better medic than her master. Just like she believes in Kakashi's words that the next generation are always destine to surpass the old generation. Naruto surprised at her expression expecting that she will break down crying knowing how much of a mother the slug sanin was to her just like Jiraiya was like a father figure to him. The pink haired medic took a step kneeling on the grave stone reading the inscription engraved in it.
Senju Tsunade
Fifth Hokage
Granddaughter of our founding father the First Hokage
Legendary sanin
The Slug princess
Forever remembered as the Hokage to carry the will of fire just like her teacher the Third Hokage
Master medic ninja
"Hey Tsunade-sama I'm leaving you these flowers just like I always do every day, we all miss you especially me. I want to thank you for everything you did for me and you know what, I'm finally living my life with no regrets" she smiled as tears formed.
"Sakura-chan…." Naruto knelt besides her putting his hand on her shoulder.
"I'm fine I know she will be happy that I finally made the right choice she couldn't make, I prevented from doing the same mistake that cost her the one and only chance for her to be happy with the man who loved her very much."
The blond smiled at her before she kissed his cheek making him blushed" Sa….Sakura-chan?"
"Thank you for always staying by my side I do know how far you're willing to go for me."
"I will always stay by your side Sakura-chan forever I also know how far you're willing to go for me."
"You're so predictable I knew you were going to say that."
He gave her his fox grin before she took his hand and they left the monument grave stone both smiling now that they were together, they will always have each other. Sakura smiled because she felt like Tsunade was watching her and she was smiling at her for making the right choice, she looked at the sky smiling. It's like her teacher was smiling at her from the sky she walked the graveyard holding the hand of her boyfriend. Before she realized she was no longer in the graveyard she was all alone in the black space of her mind, she didn't know how she got here she was looking at all directions.
"How….this is….how the heck did I got here?"
"I can answer you that question."
The pink haired woman smiled seeing inner Sakura smiling at her" oh that's right I almost forgot you're finally free."
"Yeah I finally left that dark prison of pain you created when you were under depression, I'm glad you made the right choice. I'm proud of you; you finally fucked Naruto-kun!"
Sakura sighed" why do you have to say it like that can you say I made love to him or slept with him?"
"Nah that's not my style at all you're finally his girlfriend good for you."
"Anyway why did you call me?"
"It's obvious now that you're finally together with Naruto-kun there's no need for me to be here anymore."
"What what are you saying?" she got worried.
"I emerged from inside of you in order to convince you to accept your feelings for Naruto-kun as well as his feelings I returned with the purpose that you get together with him. Now that you're together with him there's no need for me to be here it's time for me to go and go back to form part of you."
"You're leaving but I….I don't want you to go."
Inner Sakura laughed at her comment" that's rich you were the one who was always saying that you wanted me gone because you couldn't stand me why the sudden change of heart?"
"I don't know….I guess I have gotten used of having you around, you're the part of my personality that made me accept Naruto-kun in the first place and the part made me develop strong feelings for him. I guess I will miss you…"
"You won't miss me because I will always be living inside of you silly. Besides you have Naruto-kun he's way better company than me."
"You're really leaving then…." She smiled at her" then this is goodbye…"
"You know what they say goodbye is not forever just make sure you stay with Naruto-kun forever because if you don't….I will return and make your life miserable" she gave an evil grin.
She laughed with her" I can imagine well goodbye."
"Yeah see ya!"
Inner Sakra entered her making her feel whole once again and she smiled knowing that everything was going to be all right, who knows she might meet her inner persona once again.
"Sakura-chan?" Naruto called out to his girlfriend who seems to be space out" Sakura-chan you okay?"
"Hmm…yeah I'm okay Naruto" she smiled at him.
"You sure?"
"Yeah I'm sure how about if we go to Ichiraku?"
"Heh you read my mind!"
(Time skip)
After leaving the graveyard walking into the streets of the village they meet up with Sasuke. The Uchiha was just wearing regular clothing and he did took a huge noticed that both of his teammates were holding hands. He grinned everything worked out fine his plan really worked in the end Sakura was finally together with Naruto, now she will be happy and she will no longer feel miserable. However Sakura had a different expression seeing her other teammate, Naruto took a step back his girlfriend was not happy. Her jade eyes hardened remembering that Sasuke was the one who took her diary and made Naruto read her private life. The couple went to him who was still grinning at the sight.
"Hey Sasuke!" Naruto called to his best friend.
"So you guys finally hooked up it's about time."
"Yeah I can't be any happier!" replied.
"I'm sure you are Naruto-kun" replied Sakura.
"I had a feeling everything was going to be all right" the Uchiha said.
"I can imagine Sasuke-kun since you're the one that gave Naruto-kun my diary" she shot him a glare.
Sasuke's eyes widened' oh crap she knows'
"I have to go…."
"Not so fast!" Sakura grabbed him by the back of his shirt.
'I'm done for' he thought with a sigh.
"Look Sakura I can explain…"
The pink haired medic suddenly hugged him shocking the Uchiha a lot while Naruto was smirking in amusement like he knew something was up.
"Thank you very much Sasuke-kun thank you for being a true friend. If you never have given Naruto-kun my diary we would never have gotten together, that's why I thank you did" she smiled at him.
"No problem…." He replied feeling relief.
"You did the right thing Sasuke-kun" she was still smiling at him.
The Uchiha sighed in relief' for a moment there I thought she was going to….'
WHAM!!!
Sakura hit his head making him fall to the ground, Sasuke had a large lump on his head while seeing stars she growled at him" that's for giving him my diary!"
Naruto laughed feeling sorry for his best friend" sorry Sasuke but I have to be honest with Sakura-chan and tell her the truth about her diary nothing personal buddy."
"You….idiot…." mumble the Uchiha getting up feeling a headache coming on.
"Hey we're even Sakura-chan also beat me up when I told her, I love her beatings both of them" he gave a perverted grin.
"Both?" Sasuke blinked.
Sakura smacked her boyfriend" you idiot don't say anything about that!"
The blond jounin grinned" yeah both physical and sexual."
"Naruto!" she shouted hitting his head again.
Sasuke sighed at the sight' those two are still the same after all this time….team seven is back to normal.'
