DISCLAIMER: I DON'T own anything of Naruto. (Just increasing Sakura merchandiser, books, DVDs, a puzzle, clothes, plushies, action figures etc. . .)

Author's Note: Listening to 'One Last Time" by: Ariana Grande, got me here. . . Well that it got me crying. Thank you YouTube, beautifully painful!


Review Responses (THANK YOU for taking the time too):

Birthday Little Joys:

BearfootTruck: Tsunade's sparkle is never lacking. Good, you enjoyed it. Um Naruto is the original bottomless stomach. Sonic, Adrien, both Reds Rocky and Connor came after him. *Giggles* Thanks for the Favorite here.

Guest: Honestly, don't you get tired of pasting/copying? Let alone whiny about something you can't control? *Sigh* Well no matter your unnecessary upset just fuels my NaruSaku work, so I can't actually complain.

RonaldM40196867: That's sounds like a great idea. Too bad I actually see the lost/wasted potential in it. Can't really think of one. Thanks for the Favorite/Follow here.

Guest: Huh now I'm curious. How actually? I mean NaruSaku mirror their saninn teachers, in personality as well as individually not just a couple. Both females have their great and weak points. Tho I LOVE Sakura more.

Guest: Yeah. . . still won't stop me from writing for my OTP.

Everything Takes Time:

BearfootTruck: Very sweet, I'd love to know how Espio handles origami. Right on, but that's why Kagami helps her. Myself I agree, I don't have the patience nor accuracy to create origami. Thanks for the Favorite here.

RonaldM40196867: Cool, I know. I find origami beautiful. Read above you for that answer. Thanks for the Favorite/Follow here.

Not A Cake Mistake:

BearfootTruck: Not sure, I usually don't eat cake myself. But the reformed villain (Jarrod) is trying. Thanks for the Favorite here.

RonaldM40196867: "The best defense is a good offense" - Wolverine. Thanks for the Favorite/Follow here.


"It's not what it seems."

Emerald green eyes glance away from NaruHina hugging to the kind smiling 5th Kazekage.

An offered right hand from the redhead, the pinkette smiles sadly accepting it. He effortlessly stands her up from her spot on the Training Field's grassy scenery.

"Regardless Gaara, Naruto deserves happiness. He is happy, so I am too." Said through a sweet smile, Gaara knows better.

Gently gestures a hug himself, Sakura giggles returning it. Over her right shoulder blade, she never sees Gaara wink at an approaching Naruto.

The moment Gaara releases Sakura, her waist is captured from behind. Knowing those arms anywhere, the pinkette freezes scared to breath.

"Always so quick to cry." He chuckles, Sakura blushes embarrassed. She didn't even know she was. Spinning in his arms, about to open her mouth. When Kiba comes running from behind Naruto, he tackles the Hyuga beauty to the ground.

KibaHina start making out, Sakura stares flabbergasted. Looking back to find oceanic blue eyes not furious but lovingly staring into her emerald green ones.

"Yeah, we tried. Didn't feel right. Heck, I told off Kiba for lying to himself about Hinata." He grins with that still boyish charm.

"How. . . why?"

"Sakura, we were both confused. Look I'm honored you see me as more. As for me, it took forever but we can finally be truly happy."

NaruSaku start making out, simply ignoring the 5th Kazekage laughing to himself.

"See Sakura, a true happy well beginning. Actually did I ever tell the time Naruto swore to kill me, if I hurt you?" The redhead grins as Naruto smirks at his best friend.


THE END!
