This is a little weird but for them most part this is going some where I hope... and I don't know the names of the villages so don't judge.
Chapter 2: Acceptance
Naruto, Sakura, Sai, Kakashi and, Yamato were heading back to the Hidden Leaf Village.
"Naruto, are you ok?" asked Sakura.
"I'm fine Sakura but, why do you ask?" said Naruto.
"Because of everything that's happened this year. First, you lose Sasuke, then, Jiraiya-sensei, and for a moment you lost Kakashi-sensei. I'm worried about you Naruto"
"I'm over on losing Sasuke, he can die for all I care now, but..." said Naruto with tears threatening to fall, "I will never forget Master Jiraiya, he was like a father to me, the father I never got to meet" said Naruto with tears falling.
Sakura wrapped Naruto in a hug, "I may not know what it feels like to lose a teacher that is almost like family but, I feel the same way about Sasuke. Naruto, I'm here for you, I'm here to help you"
Naruto got Sakura off of him and she gave him a confused look.
"Sakura, I don't want you to pity me. The last person who pitied me got hurt" said Naruto.
"Who?" asked Sakura
"Iruka-sensei, he pitied me because of how everyone treated me and he was the first person to be nice to me and pitied me because I had to live the way I did because of what was inside of me, and because of that he got a large shurikun in his back because he pitied me and wanted to protect me, and so far in my entire life people I care about or people who care about me get hurt or die"
"What!?" said Sakura.
"My parents, the Third Hokage, Iruka-sensei, Master Jiraiya, Kakashi-sensei and, it almost got you too, Sakura" said Naruto.
"What is it?" asked Sakura.
"I call 'it'the Curse of the Nine-tails, because everyone who's died is either protecting the Leaf, which the Nine-tails attacked, or me, because I have the Nine-tails inside me" said Naruto.
"I don't deserve anything that I -" started Naruto, but Sakura cut him off.
"Naruto stop, neither you or the Nine-tails are to blame, It's Madara and the Akatsuki, who are to blame"
"Sakura..."
"Naruto, don't you ever believe that you don't deserve what you have, because Naruto, I believe in you and I love you" said Sakura, with tears starting to fall.
"Sakura..."
"Naruto, please don't make me cry"
"Sakura, I will never make you cry, I swear" said Naruto wiping Sakura's tears away.
"Thank you Naruto"
"Hey, you two going to stand there all day" shouted Yamato.
"We're coming, let's go Sakura"
"Umm... Naruto, I was wondering if you could ride on you back, I'm-"
"Of course Sakura, you just rest" said Naruto before Sakura climbed onto his back and fell alseep.
Naruto smiled.
Awhile Later
"Naruto it will be another hour before we arrive at the village. Do you want to wake up Sakura?" asked Sai.
"No Sai, just let her sleep. I'll take her home"
"Ok"
'Sakura...' thought Naruto.
An Hour Later
They arrived at the Hidden Leaf Village.
Naruto, with Sakura now in his arms bridal style, carried her home and layed her down in her bed and kissed her forehead and said, "Goodnight, Sakura" and headed home.
The next morning, Naruto woke up and took a shower, got dressed and went to training with Kakashi-sensei.
When Naruto arrived, Kakashi like always, was late. Sakura arrived a few minutes later.
"You look better today" said Naruto.
"Thanks, for the compliment and for yesterday"
"Thank me for what yesterday"
"For being there for me Naruto" said Sakura as she leaned in and kissed Naruto on the cheek.
Naruto turned the brightest shade of red possible.
"Sakura..."
"Naruto..."
"Sakura, get ready, Kakashi's here"
"Yo" Kakashi said lazily.
Sakura sighed, "Are we doing something we've never done before?" asked Sakura.
"Maybe, maybe not" replied Kakashi.
'Another fun day of training with Kakashi-sensei' thought Sakura.
Well here's chapter 2 so what do you think and I want reviews not just that it's good, what do you like about it. That kind of stuff.
