Haruno Sakura walked down one of the main streets of Konoha, heading towards the gate to greet the three Amegakure ninja that were supposed to be arriving that day as she had been ordered to escort them to the Hokage tower.
As the pink haired Kunoichi walked through the streets all she could hear and see was people celebrating, celebrating the 'death' of 'the demon'. She knew that her teammate, Uzumaki Naruto wasn't dead but it still hurt to know that they considered him a monster...
After word of his disappearance got out the villagers had completely disregarded the third Hokage's law and now, because of that only a small portion of the village didn't hate him. Pretty much the only civilians that didn't hate Naruto were the two at the Ramen Stand...
Something was confusing the pink haired girl though, just yesterday Jiraiya of the Sannin had asked for Naruto's hospital records. The perverted toad sage had said that it was for something important... Sakura had been the one to get the records for the hospitalised -courtesy of Tsunade- Sannin and, the amount of times her blond haired teammate had been hospitalised due to critical injuries... It had scared Sakura to think that her cheerful teammate had gone through that much and still stayed sane...
As she arrived at the village entrance her eyes widened, there were the three Ame ninja, one with raven hair and wearing an orange mask and orange cloak. One with green hair and wearing all white and... one wearing blue robes with an orange scarf, his long blond and red hair tied up in a low ponytail, greenish blue eyes and those whisker marks that Sakura could recognise in an instant.
"NARUTO!"
Naruto had only just managed to dodge a fist that would have most likely broken something if it had hit him. Shit... When had Sakura-chan got there? Had he really been so worried that he hadn't been able to sense his former teammate? What was she going to do now? Did she hate him? Was she-
His thoughts were interrupted when Tobi said in his usual cheerful voice.
"Ehhhhh! Naru-Sempai! Tobi didn't know you had a girlfriend!" For once in his life the blind blond desperately wanted to kill his masked teammate but instead Fū hit him on the back of the head, hard. The blind blond shouted at Tobi, who was now rubbing an extremely large bump on the back of his head.
"TOBI! SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Naruto soon found himself dodging numerous fists that were aiming to hit him, swiftly avoiding all of them while he listened to Sakura's yelling at him.
"WHY DID YOU LEAVE? DO YOU KNOW HOW EVERYONE FELT WHEN THEY FOUND OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED? TSUNADE-SHISHOU AND THE REST OF YOUR FRIENDS HAVE ALL BEEN EXTREMELY WORRIED!"
The next attack wasn't a punch and Naruto let it come as Sakura grabbed his scarf and pinned him onto one of the closest trees. It was only a whisper but the blind blond had still heard it. It was simple, just one word.
"Why?"
"I'm sorry Sakura-Chan, but I couldn't take having to live without anyone knowing-" His voice sounded calm, sad and it also had a bit regret in it. Sakura had cut him off.
"WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT!?"
It wasn't Naruto who had replied, instead it was the voice of an older female and Naruto knew exactly who it was.
"Without anyone knowing that he is blind."
Naruto's sightless eyes widened, how had Tsunade-baachan found out?
Finished! Shorter chapter? Yup! Shortest chapter in the story so far... But don't worry! The chapters won't get shorter then this one, if anything they will get longer!
I've started yet another story called 'Liquid Ghost' and I intend to spend time on both that and this story so if it takes a little longer to update then... oh well~
Please review! Constructive Criticism is welcome! Suggestions and Advice would be great if anyone has any! (I'm sorta almost out of ideas for this...)
