Big differences you should know:

Sarutobi(3rd hokage) was still killed by Orochimaru

Naruto & Sakura were still trained by the legendary Sannin

Sasuke never left Konoha(might change that)

Tsunade was and still is Hokage she used a replacement jutsu Kyuubi-Naruto didn't notice due to the fact he was in a rush to start his killing spree.(Which didn't happen must suck for Kyuubi)

Flame me all you want for taking forever on adding the second chapter. I could come up with quite a few excuses on why it took forever and here they are.

1. Busy reading some good Naru/Saku stories like Demons Glory (Hell been reading a lot of stories. I do only three things when I have no chores. Read fanfiction, sleep a lot, play video games)

2. Hard time thinking of a good way to continue

3. I like playing video games

4. Short attention span unless it is fun.(Like Naruto)

Disclaimer: Don't own if I did Sakura would be in love with Naruto from the first episode on.

No jokes this time.


Weather: Middle of December
Location: Somewhere north of Kusagakure (village hidden in the grass)

"Number of days away from Konoha: three-hundred and fifty-eight"

"ANBU attempts to bring me back to Konoha: two-hundred and sixty-five"

"Number of days with no trouble from any threat: five"

"Number of times Naruto has almost been killed: sixty-five"

"Sakura-chan what is the record so far?" said an extremely cute boy that just barges in my room/tent whenever he wants.

"Naruto how many times have I told do not come in unless I give you permission and as far as the record is I'm not you telling unless you stop barging in my tent without permission." If I was my old self I would've just beaten him senseless. But I'm not my old self am I?

"Sorry Sakura-chan I'll leave you to your business." said Naruto while closing the tent door.

When I made sure he was gone I continued my record keeping. "...Number of times I wished I was back in Konoha zero."

Hokage's Office

"Hokage-sama the ANBU scouts have returned!"

"What news do they bring Shizune? Have they found Naruto & Sakura?" Said an extremely tired woman that just woke up from her little nap.

"Yes and no. They located Uzumaki Naruto & Haruno Sakura but as they were about to apprehend Naruto. Both Naruto & Sakura disappeared apparently they used some kage bushins to throw the scouts off their trail." Said a crestfallen Shizune apparently hoping to see them Naruto & Sakura again. "And it also appears Sakura is not trying to escape from Naruto. So your suspensions seem to be correct about Naruto not taking Sakura hostage. They also seem to be tiring from what I've heard they are lacking supplies. They seem to only have enough to last them for another week at best. It seems they are about four days away from the nearest village which is Kusagakure & if I know Naruto right he will head there. It is only three days away for us so if we get there before them we could apprehend them there with little to no trouble at all."

Shizune was beaming with pride they could have Naruto & Sakura come to them instead of having to track them down again and risk losing so good soldiers. But thats the catch no matter how many hunter nin came after them not one would be seriously wounded to the point where they would die.

It seems that they just want to be left alone not that Sakura's mom cares. No matter how many times we try to convince her. Amy(random name) never listens to us. Hell last time she told us Sakura might be dead & that Naruto is using a clone so they can't tell that she isn't around. Each reason gets more ridiculous than the last one.

"Shizune" That snapped Shizune out of her thoughts. "Yes Tsunade-sama."

"Bring all of the rookie nine here along with their sensei's & Gai's team as well. I have a mission for them."

Realizing what Tsunade was planning on doing Shizune quickly left to round up to rookie nine.

About three days north of Kusagakure

"Sakura-chan do you really think Konoha-nins are at Kusagakure? Because they seem to be less active since the last time we encountered their hunter-nins."

"Naruto-kun I don't know. I'm just thinking of all the possibilities of what Konoha is up to. For all we know they could be right behind us." Instinctively Naruto looked behind him Sakura giggled at that.

"Very funny Sakura-chan. But we can't be too careful."

"I know Naruto-kun just trying to lighten the tension here."

"Thats my job!"

"Yeah and you don't do a very good job of it."

"You're mean Sakura-chan."

"You still love me right Naruto-kun." Said Sakura using her most famous jutsu she has ever used on Naruto puppy dog/death glare-jutsu.

(can't remember the episode number. But it's the one were two guys show up and pretend to be Gai & Lee without using henges and try to sneak into Konoha to steal all of their secrets. Sakura comes up & asks if they could get a towel that is on the cliff. First its "please get for me" and then its "you'll get it for me right?" her eyes turn red "right?". Getting off track Kuso. I like that word Kuso Kuso Kuso Kuso. Shit off track.)

"Of course I still love you Sakura-chan. I wouldn't be here if I didn't."

"Naruto-kun lets rest here for the night since we got about two more days to get to Kusagakure & if I'm correct about what Konoha is up to we will need our strength. Though we might not be able to hold our ground since we are low on supplies. That and even if we do escape we would be too tired & end up passing out from exhaustion. They may have planned this Naruto to get us back."

"Damn it that is probably why they kept on coming. To lower our supplies no wonder this guy kept laughing at me saying it is impossible to keep this up. They were setting us up for a trap. Clever."

"Naruto what should we do? We can't really head anywhere else since we wouldn't last that long without food or water since it is the middle of winter."

"Well I guess the jig is up as they say. We either stay here and hope that some miracle we survive without being detected or we go to Kusagakure & risk the chance that Konoha is waiting for us. What do you say Sakura?"

"I say we go to Kusagakure it can't be that bad if they are there I mean we haven't killed anyone that has come after us. It couldn't be worse than sitting here and hoping we don't die."

"Then its settled we go to Kusagakure first thing in the morning. If we get lucky we might even get a 'warm' welcome. Huh get it Sakura-chan a 'warm' welcome."

"Seriously Naruto-kun you need to come up with better jokes. Now lets go to sleep."

—End Chapter 2—

Sucked utterly sucked. If someone says it doesn't suck it is either that the chapter is good and I don't realize it or the person just doesn't know how to flame someone. For the record I am accepting anonymous reviews just don't flame saying it utterly sucked because my comeback is where is your story.

Getting back on track don't flame me for messing up distances I only had a map of the world of Naruto which had no scale so I couldn't measure distances. If someone could send me a link to a site that states all of the jutsus used in Naruto in Japanese I would appreciate it I only know a few in Japanese. I want to do the jutsus all in Japanese not US. I will put what the words mean in english in these ( ) after the jutsu.
