Chapter 1: A Promise of a Lifetime
I am standing at the gates of Konoha with my team when a voice catches our attention. As we turn, we see that it is Sakura. She looks as though she's been crying. As Shikamaru talks to her we all find out she was the last to see Sasuke before he left. It figures she wasn't able to stop him. Sasuke is fated to seek out power. Being the last of his clan, he has a name to live up to. I'm brought out of my thoughts by Naruto's name.
"Naruto… I beg of you, please bring him…," Sakura tries to say through her recently shed tears.
"Please bring back Sasuke-kun!"
"I couldn't do it… I couldn't stop him. The only thing left that could stop Sasuke-kun is… You, Naruto… Only you," Sakura says brokenly. Her tears are steadily falling.
"Sakura-chan likes Sasuke very much," states Naruto with a smile. If anyone took a look at Naruto's eyes they'd be able to see through his cheerful mask. Those words hurt him. Whether they hurt because of Sakura I'm not so sure. Yet I could clearly see the hidden pain.
"Right now, you're in pain. A pain I know well," he added. Those words, they hurt even me. Such words should not be spoken from such a bright being. What does he mean by he knows that pain? Who hurt him? So many questions are going through my mind, and no way of getting answers. I need to know more about my blue-eyed angel, and someday fate will help me win his heart.
"I will definitely bring back Sasuke. That's the promise of a lifetime" Naruto proclaims confidently after Sakura thanks him. After his declaration our leader decides we need to get our mission started.
