“Lets go to the hot spring, that’ll help you relax And maybe you’ll even cheer up a little more.” Kiba suggested. “Just thought I’d let you know.” They both laughed at that. Naruto gave a weak chuckle and Kiba leaned over to give Naruto a pat on the back. You know you tried and she’s missing out, trust me.” As long as you know that she’s not that great of a person that should be all that matters. Its not healthy for you to be sitting here moping around because of her. One person isn’t going to ruin my friends life. Naruto stared at Kiba for a second and mockingly quoted “It won’t happen.” “What happened this time?” Kiba knew that this wasn’t the first dilemma Naruto had had concerning Sakura’s self-absorbed personality. I’m just trying to understand why Sakura still thinks she’s the most popular girl in the village.” With a half smile and a sigh he turned to look at Kiba who took a seat next to him. For some reason they just understood each other and Kiba never seemed displeased around Naruto. If anyone would listen to him, it would be Kiba. Naruto perked up instantly as he recognized his best friends voice. “Why do you look so down?” came a husky voice from behind. It seemed like every time he tried talking to Sakura, she concerned herself more with what Sasuke was doing instead of talking with Naruto. He sat and wondered in silence why it seemed like it was becoming more difficult to talk to people. Naruto sat at the bar front of Ichiraku for his ramen, alone. He was sick of how obsessed she was with Sasuke, and his old jealousy of Sasuke had turned into nonchalance toward him as his feelings for Sakura weakened and as they weakened he desired nothing but to be friends. He hadn’t even had a sexual fantasy about a girl in ages. In fact, Naruto had given up hope trying to go on a date a long time ago. She was too busy thinking she was miss thing to realize that Naruto did not want Sakura the way she believed she was wanted. “NO, NO, NO! Stop asking me to eat with you Naruto, it won’t happen!” Sakura jeered at Naruto. Sasuke disappeared while Naruto tried to get Sakura to eat with him. They said their last words of the day to each other and Kakashi immediately went to the hokage’s mansion in order to submit his report. Sakura and Sasuke both had a bath in mind, and Naruto had ramen on his mind.įinally the squad arrived at home. As the team made their way back to Konoha, they thought about the first things they wanted to do. After a two day mission they were all sweaty and covered in dirt.
