Prologue: Naruto Uzumaki's goodbye
After returning from a mission with Shikamaru and Sai, Sakura volunteered to report back to the Hokage tower and give the mission report to Kakashi who has become the Sixth Hokage. Little did she know as soon as she walked in she would find out the one of worse news.
The young kunichi walked in without a second thought.
"So Naruto's really leaving to travel with Sasuke?", Yamato asked the silver haired leader.
"Yes. I'm not surprised, he hasn't been himself since Sasuke left.", Kakashi explained.
Sakura dropped all the paperwork from this new information. Both of the older men looked at Sakura a little surprised by her presence.
"N-Naruto is leaving...?", The older teen was trembling. How could it be so easy for Naruto leave them just like that? Just because of Sasuke? This didn't make sense. She decided she needed to hear it from Naruto. She quickly left before Kakashi could answer her.
Her old teacher only sighed, "This will be the second time that girl's heart will break."
Sakura was desperately knocking on her old teammate's door. She needed to talk to him.
"Naruto!" She yelled. Not caring if she disturbed his neighbors.
Finally he opened the door she looked at him, eyes on the verge of tears.
"Is it true?", She asked with a quiet voice.
Naruto only stared at her. He knew she knew about him leaving.
"Yes...", He answered gently.
Sakura finally let her tears fall, "Why? Why him...? We're your friends Naruto, we need you. What about your dream?!" Her voice was raising louder as she let her emotions take over.
"You guys are my family. You will always be my family. But..", Naruto sighed.
"But..?"
"But you guys will never understand me like he does. He's my...my most precious friend. I'm pathetic Sakura-chan. I'm.." Naruto started to cry.
Sakura walked inside closing the door. After that she quickly hugged him.
"Naruto... I... I love you...", Sakura confessed.
"Are you lying to make me stay?" Naruto joked quickly earning him a light painful punch from the girl.
"I'm serious don't you dare think I'm not. I'm a different person now Naruto. I... I'm not the same shameful woman who would try to use your feelings to trick you. I..." Her tears were falling faster, "I'm not the pathetic girl who was hopelessly in love with someone who would never in a million years feel the same. I... I love you... It took me so long to figure that out." She started to sob uncontrollably.
As she confessed Naruto stroked her hair. He felt bad... He didn't feel the same anymore. He now saw Sakura like a sister.
"I'm sorry but I...", Naruto was about to tell her his real feelings, but she gently raised a hand covering his mouth.
"Don't... I already know. I learned how to live without Sasuke and very recently I learned that I never really loved him in the first place. No matter how hard I try, my feelings never reached to him because he could never feel the same. But you..." her voice was cracking, " You're the first person who I genially fell in love with. Who I love no matter how imperfect you are. You are an amazing person Naruto...I'm sorry I couldn't have been the one...the one to truly make you happy like him." She was sobbing. Naruto couldn't help it. He kissed her his heart sad he couldn't feel the same for such an amazing woman. Sakura was shocked by his kiss but closed her eyes wrapping her arms around his neck.
He broke the kiss, "I'm sorry I don't feel the same Sakura-chan... I'm sorry."
"Make love to me Naruto.", She begged desperate for the man she had fallen for.
"Sakura-chan." Naruto looked at her with sadness.
"Please... Let it be our goodbye... Pretend you love me for one night... I just... It'll be the first and last time... Please Naruto..."
Naruto only gave the girl a sad smile. But he wasn't going to reject her she's already been through so much heart break with Sasuke.
"Okay..."
Both of them walked to Naruto's bedroom. As soon as they closed his door Sakura kissed him once more. Naruto kissing back placed his hands on the girl's waist. Their kiss deepened and became more heated. Sakura unzipped her top letting it drop to the floor. They briefly broke the kiss so Naruto could take off his shirt. The pink haired girl stroked her hands across his chest while Naruto kissed the her neck undoing her bra. He struggled a bit but quickly figured it out.
Sakura let the bra fall, their lips met once more. Sakura was so happy. She was lucky to have fallen in love with someone so generous to her feelings. Someone who was about to leave her for who knows how long. She would cherish this last moment with her old teammate. The one who once loved her the same way she does. She knew she didn't deserve such a great person. She didn't think Sasuke deserved him either, but she'll keep that thought to herself.
She would just enjoy Naruto's touches, enjoy his affection, pretend he loves her like he used to. Just for one day.
That night Naruto was gentle with Sakura made sure he would treat her with the utmost respect and love. They had sex for the first and last time.
Naruto was at the gates of Konoha with an orange bag full of his belongings and some ramen cups. He decided it was best to leave without a big goodbye. A lot of his friends wouldn't agree with his decision. He looked towards the Hokage mountain. He looked at the one shaped like his father.
"I'm sorry dad..baa-chan... But... I'll never be a great Hokage if I'm full of regrets. I'm going to follow my heart. I'm sure you would of done the same thing for ma." He fist bump towards the sculptured mountains.
"Goodbye everyone..." Naruto began to cry but he had a grin on his face. He the turned walking away from the home he cherished.
Naruto walked down the pathway for 10 minutes. He smirked and took out a kunai. Quickly someone swooshed in front of the blonde attacking Naruto with a katana. The blonde shinobi dodged and blocked every attack. After one last swing both of them stop.
"Good to see you haven't gotten soft dead-last." Sasuke said as he put his weapon away.
"I have to keep up with you don't I?" Naruto smiled doing the same.
"Hn."
"So how did you know I was looking for you?", Naruto asked.
" I didn't. All of my opponents are shitty compare to you. I was going to drop by for a quick spare."
Naruto's eyes widen but he smiled. From time to time Sasuke would drop by to spar with the blonde but leave soon after.
Words couldn't describe how happy he was to see the Sasuke again, "I... I'm so glad... I... Sasuke.."
Sasuke hugged him cutting the younger teen off. Naruto eyes widen but he smiled hugging back.
"Sasuke I never want to live without you... You're my most precious person. Sasuke I love you..."
The Uchiha's eyes widen but he genuinely smiled, "It's about time you figured it out dead-last..."
Naruto only chuckled and let the him go wiping his tears, "So where are we headed?"
Sasuke answered, "To Orochimaru's hide-out. I need Karin to fix my arm."
"Well lead the way bastard.", Naruto grinned.
"Sure thing dead-last.", Sasuke smirked. Before he began walking he kissed Naruto then just as quickly broke the kiss leading the way. Naruto blushed but smiled and caught up to his dear friend who shared the same feelings as him.
Sakura is laying in Naruto's bed. Her body turned towards the window tears still fresh on her face. She couldn't remember how long she was crying.
"I hope you understand Sasuke Uchiha. I hope you realize what he's sacrificing to be with you..."

Author's Notes-
This prologue is just a peek at this Naruto world. I'm warning you right now this story isn't about Naruto and Sasuke's journey together. This will be a story about the next generation. I know I know these sort of stories can be a bore but I have a feeling this one is going to go way differently. If you still want to read please continue just don't complain about it later since I'm warning you now, 'kay?
Naruto Gaiden is a lie. You can't force someone to love another and expect a happy ending. We SNS fans appreciate the hard work. But you can't expect us to believe that Naruto and Sasuke's bond was just friendship.
