They enjoyed that moment as much as they could. When it began it was only mid afternoon and now it was practically nightfall they played several games and often stopped to talk. Naruto was having the time of his life because nothing he did before was ever fun it was always so serious. Finally after a seemingly endless game of tag they lied down on the ground.

"Yeah but I never really had a chance to look at them."

"Well why not?"

"Well with all my training often took over. Man Itachi is sooooo strict!"

"Well I've never met anyone that strict."

There was a long silence where they just stared up at the sky. Naruto wanted this moment to last forever.

"Naruto why don't you quit Akatsuki and join the leaf village?"

"Sakura I wish that were possible but if I quit Akatsuki then they will hunt me down and I'm a wanted criminal"

"So theres no way you can join our village?"

"I really wish I could but I don't think we can."

Both ninjas got back up on their feet, Naruto felt happier but he knew that this night did have to end eventually.

"I guess well just have to make the best of it then" She leaned over and kissed him.

They then left Naruto went back to the Akatsuki hideout while Sakura went back to the village. What they didn't realize however was that there was a black haired ninja who just happened to hear their conversation. It was Sasuke…
