I don't own Naruto

The same day, Naruto, Sasuke and Itachi walked back slowly to the village. As they got to the gates, Sakumo was there. So was Sakura's dad Aoi. They were holding hands. Naruto stopped in front of

them and shook his head. Sakumo broke down crying. While they were Sakumo explained Sakura's situation to Tsunade. Tsunade put her hand on Naruto's shoulder, her eye's filled with sadness.

"You did good" Tsunade said. "NARUTO, SASUKE!" a feminine voice yelled. Naruto looked over Tsunade's shoulder. Ino was running towards them.

"You did it!" she said smiling. Ino noticed their sad faces. "What's wrong? And where's Forehead?" she asked.

"Ino….Sakura-chan…isn't here anymore" Naruto said, his voice was very shaky. Ino blinked, not understanding what he was saying.

"She's dead" Tsunade said. Everything in Ino's heart shattered. Her eye's became watery, tears rolled down her face.

"Sakura" she said. Ino fell into Shikamaru's arms, listening to the poor blonde crying for her friend. Sasuke stepped to her and kneeled down.

"Sakura said, that she will always be with you….and that she'll haunt you if you take forever mourning for her" Sasuke said. Ino stared at him and nodded.

"That….sounds like her….stupid Forehead girl….why does she have to do everything alone" Ino whimpered. The tears didn't stop. The next day, they held a memorial service for all the lost lives. But the

main one, was for Sakura. Like the third's funeral, everyone walked up to her picture and placed a flower. Her closest friends, placed Cherry Blossoms in front of it. The next day, Sakura's name was put

on the KIA statue. Naruto and Sasuke were walking, to meet up with Kakashi. Sakumo was going to give them some things, that belonged to Sakura.

"Yesterday…..you lied to Ino" Naruto said.

"Yeah…." Sasuke said. Naruto nodded. They turned a corner and saw Sakumo and Kakashi standing together. Sakumo had a box in her arms.

"Hey Naru-chan, Sasu-chan" Sakumo said smiling sadly. Sakumo set the box down and hugged them. "Thank you for coming" she mumbled in their ears.

"Thank you for letting us come" Sasuke said.

"Alright, I'll let you guys go through some of these things" Sakumo said. They nodded and watched her walk in her house. Kakashi opened the box, the first thing he pulled out was Sakura's Genin head

band. He gave it to Sasuke. Kakashi then pulled out some books, he kept them. The other thing he pulled out was a picture of Team 7 from their Genin days, he gave it to Naruto. Naruto wiped the little

bit of dust on it, and noticed some writing.

"We are like stars….we may not always see each other, but we will always know, that we're there" they all looked back in the box. There was a stuffed dog, a stuffed raven and a stuffed fox. They each

got one, and that was it.

"We'll never forget you Sakura-chan" Naruto said with a smile on his face. Sasuke even smiled and Kakashi, even though he wore a mask, you could tell he was smiling too.

5 Years Later~

The Hokage stretched his arms out. He hated doing Hokage work.

'Well at least I don't drink sake on the job' he thought to himself. He picked up his pen and started signing things again. His eye's routinely shifted to the pictures on his desk. Him and Hinata's wedding

day, Him and Sasuke making Anbu, Birthdays, Hinata being pregnant and then his landed on the last one. Sakura's picture of team seven. He smiled. "Your always there" he spoke. "Dobe" Sasuke said

from behind him. Naruto jumped, spilling ink on his papers.

"AW! TEME!" he yelled whining. Sasuke smirked. "Ugh…I guess you finished your mission" Naruto said.

"Obviously"

Naruto growled. Sasuke walked over and leaned against the wall.

"It's been months since I've been in your office" he mumbled.

"Did you get the scroll?' Naruto asked. Sasuke threw a scroll, that was aimed for his head. Naruto being the Hokage, got cocky and tried to catch it. Of course he missed and it hit him on the head.

"TEME!" Naruto yelled running towards him ready to choke the living daylights out of him.

"Naruto-kun" a small shy voice spoke. Naruto stopped and looked towards the door. Hinata was blushing, of course, plus being 8 months pregnant.

"What is it Hinata-chan? You hungry again? You want more Ramen?" Naruto questioned. Sasuke hit him upside the head.

"Naruto, you can't keep feeding her Ramen, it's unhealthy" Sasuke said.

"TEME!"

"Naruto-kun…..I-I'm fine….y-you forgot your lunch again" she said holding up his food. He walked away from Sasuke and to Hinata. He rubbed her belly, took his food then kissed her. Of course still

being Hinata, her face reddened which Naruto loved, seeing how it was adorable on her. Hinata left and left them alone. Sasuke walked to the window as Naruto opened his bento box that Hinata

made for him.

"Naruto…" Sasuke said. Naruto nearly choked.

"You know what today is right?" he asked. Naruto looked back at his desk and the picture of Team7.

"Yeah…." he mumbled. Sasuke smirked, he could tell outside that the wind was blowing because he could see pink petals blowing in the wind. As Sasuke looked over the village, he spotted something

that made him look twice.

'Was that…No it can't be' he thought. He was looking at someone walking, who had pink hair. 'It can't be….she's been dead for years…' he thought. Sasuke closed his eye's. 'I'm seeing things'

When he opened he hoped to see his illusion gone. But it wasn't. The person walking, with pink hair stopped. She turned around to reveal emerald green eye's. Sasuke's eye's widened.

'S-Sakura?' he thought. Sasuke jumped out the window. Naruto jumped up and ran towards the window.

"SASUKE! WHAT THE HELL!" he yelled. Sasuke ignored him as he landed on the ground. Sasuke then ran through the crowded village. The girl with pink hair, ran away from him.

"WAIT!" he yelled. The girl ran towards the training grounds. When she got to a familiar spot, she stopped. There were 3 poles in the ground. Sasuke stopped behind her, at Team 7's old training

grounds. He had sweat forming on his forehead and was panting. The girl turned around.

"Sasuke" she said smiling. His heart stopped beating for a moment, until it sped up.

"S-Sakura" he finally said. She smiled warmly.

"It's been awhile" she said walking towards him. She stopped in front of him, reading his expression. "It's not a dream….or a illusion….I'm real" she said softly. Sakura put her hand on his cheek and

leaned close to him. She gently kissed and pulled back smiling. Sasuke put his hand up to her hand that still rested on his cheek.

"SASUKE!" Naruto yelled. Naruto jumped down, panting. "I've been looking all over for you, just what the hell….was…that" Naruto said. His eye's rested on Sakura. Sakura moved her hands back to her

side.

'3.…..2.….1.…..'

"SAKURA-CHAN!" he yelled tackling her. Sakura laughed.

"Naruto, your crushing me" she said. Naruto jumped up and pulled her up.

"Sakura-chan I can't believe your back…." he said smiling. She smiled.

"Yeah" she said.

"How?" Sasuke asked. Sakura smirked.

"Lets just say, that my other half is no longer apart of me" she said winking at him. They both just stood there. Sakura sighed.

"You know I'm kind of hungry, plus it's been 5 years, I'd like to know everything" she said. Naruto gave his goofy grin.

"Lets go eat ramen" he said happily. Sakura smiled and nodded. Naruto turned around walking. Sakura grabbed Sasuke's hand, a small, not even noticeable blush crossed his cheeks. Although, Sakura

noticed.

"I love you too" she whispered. Sasuke jerked his head towards her, his eye's widened. She smiled at him. Sasuke softened his eye's and even smiled.

"Welcome Home Sakura"

~THE END~
