Summary: Five years after Shipudden, Naruto and Sakura had become a couple. But when Sakura keeps talking about Sasuke, Naruto couldn't take it anymore and ran away. Will Sakura be able to find him and reach out to him?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No! I can't take it anymore!" yelled a certain blonde boy to a pink haired girl. "It's always Sasuke this, and Sasuke that! I'm tired of it already!"

"Naruto, if you just listen to me, you'll know that Sasuke is-"said Sakura, but Naruto interrupted her.

"I don't care anymore, Sakura! You always talk about Sasuke, even though we're in a relationship right now!" yelled Naruto. "Back when we were kids, I could take the pain of you loving him and not me. But now that we're adults, I can't take it anymore!"

Sakura just froze at what Naruto just said. Had she really caused him that much pain? "Naruto…I had no idea…" said Sakura, sobbing a bit. Tears soon started to fall from her eyes. She was about to put her hand on his shoulder, but he quickly moved forward, not allowing her to touch him. "Naruto…" He didn't bother to turn to her. Tears were falling down his face.

"Sakura…Don't look for me anymore…" said Naruto. Sakura's eyes widened at what Naruto had just said. "I just want to be alone…You don't need me…Just go find Sasuke without me…" He then disappeared, leaving Sakura alone. She soon fell to her knees, crying, now that the only person who truly loved her left her. Her pink hair locks pointed to the ground as she looked down and she began to hug herself. She soon felt a few raindrops fall on her.

Two weeks had passed. Naruto was roaming around the village. He then went to gravesite that said, "Jiraiya: A Fierce Warrior, A True Hero…" He knelt down at the grave. "Hey…You old pervert…" He then put his hand on the gravestone. "A lot's happened in the past five years….The Akatsuki has been defeated…so I avenged you…" He then started crying. "But…I did something stupid…" He soon felt a hand on his shoulder. Naruto turned to see who it was, only to find Iruka.

"Hey Naruto…" said Iruka. "How's it going?"

"Iruka…I did something stupid…" said Naruto. "I…" He couldn't draw the courage to say it.

"What is it, Naruto?" Iruka was now getting curious as to what Naruto was about to say. "Come on Naruto! You can tell me anything…"

"I…broke someone's heart…because of something so stupid…"said Naruto. He then told him about him and Sakura, her love for Sasuke, his jealousy about her loving Sasuke and not him, the pain he felt, and him leaving her. Iruka was shocked. He would never expect Naruto to say all those things to Sakura, the girl he adored for years. "Well…did you try apologizing?" asked Iruka. Naruto looked at him, with sadness.

"I tried, Iruka…I really did..." said Naruto, with cracking voice. "But…every time I try to apologize…she just ignores me…" He then looked down at the ground. "I think she hates me now…" He then started crying. Iruka looked at his young friend. He had no idea what to do or what to say to him, as he had never experienced this pain before. Meanwhile, Sakura was walking the streets of Konoha. She was staring at the ground, all depressed. She was thinking about what Naruto had said to her two weeks ago. 'He's right…All I ever did was talk to him about Sasuke…' thought Sakura. 'I had no idea I was causing him so much pain...Naruto…I'm sorry…' Her thoughts were soon interrupted when a certain blonde ran up to her.

"Hey Sakura!" yelled the blonde haired woman.

"Oh…Hi Ino…" said Sakura, but not as cheerful. She gave her a big, fake smile. Ino noticed this.

"Alright…What's up?" asked Ino to Sakura. She was shocked that Ino knew how she was feeling.

"Well…" said Sakura. She then told Ino what Naruto had told Iruka. Ino was baffled. She had never expected Naruto to say such cruel things to Sakura, the love of his life. She felt like she wanted to punch the nine-tailed fox containing runt right now. "He's right though…" said Sakura. Ino was baffled once again. She did not expect her to agree with Naruto. "All I ever did was talk about Sasuke…even if we were in a relationship; all I could talk about was Sasuke and not him!" Sakura then started crying. Ino watched as her best friend cried her eyes out. She put her hand on Sakura's shoulder.

"Sakura…" said Ino. "You have to apologize to him and forget about Sasuke. If you don't, it'll tear you two apart…" Sakura turned to Ino. She knew Ino was right. Ino had loved Sasuke, too, but is now in a relationship with Choji. "Ino…thank you…"said Sakura. Ino just smiled and watched as Sakura walked away. She soon found herself at Naruto's apartment. She knocked on the door, only to get no answer. She tried knocking again.

"Naruto, open the door!" yelled Sakura through the thin piece of wood. She knocked one more time, only to see that Iruka had answered. Sakura eyes widened.

"Iruka…Where's Naruto?" asked Sakura, worried about the one she loved.

"He's…not here anymore…" said Iruka, with a depressed voice. This news shocked Sakura.

"What do you mean?"

"He ran away…"
