Picture this : Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, Shisui, Itachi, Ino, Temari, Sai, Shikamaru and all the others playing "Never have I ever." And when Sai's turn comes he says: "Never have I ever slept with Ugly" so Itachi drinks (no surprise here, since in this case they’re in an established relationship.), what surprises some is when Temari drinks (curiosity of two young high school girls, you know how it is) but what shocks everyone is that while avoiding each other's gaze and blushing madly Sasuke and Naruto drink their shot of tequila lmaoooo 😭😭
Et là les gars, c’est l’Enfer sur Terre.
[ There will probably be deaths and injured people by the end of the night. Just sayin’…]

Heart-Shaped Cookies
For: @narutorarepaireventhub and Rarepair Valentine’s Week
Prompt: Valentine's Day
AU: Modern & High school
Ship: Sasuke x Ino
Honorable mentions: NaruSaku, ShikaHina, KibaTenten, and KarinNeji
Tumblr media
Ah Valentine's Day... A day where you get the excuse to be all lovey dovey and filled with cheesy romance along with butterflies in your stomach. For Ino, it was one of her favorite times of the year.
She was all smiles and excited. Konoha High was decorated in pink and hearts. Sakura naturally was practically dancing through the halls with hearts in her eyes. All the girls were so eager to hopefully hook-up or to be extra with their boyfriends. Ino and her small click of friends were all planning some cool stuff today:
Sakura was of course looking forward to the hangout date that Naruto was gonna surprise her with. He asked Ino frantically on what to do, so of course she told him that her lovely best friend, would love a trip to the botanical gardens. Sakura herself had made some heart-shaped fudge for him too.
Hinata was so shy. Unfortunate, Naruto had already confessed to Sakura and the two started dating. Her story does have a happy ending though. Shikamaru, actually had a crush on her. Ino was practically his little sister, so of course she coached him on how to talk to her. Now like a cute clique, he was going to work up the nerve to confess to her. She was rooting for the both of them.
Tenten and Kiba got together after the end of the first year. She wanted to do something fun this year, so they were gonna go to the arcade and play laser tag for awhile. And Karin was gonna go on a romantic after school lunch with her boyfriend Neji.
As for Ino herself, she had something in mind for Sasuke. She made some heart shaped sugar cookies. They were all decorated cutely with different confectionaries. He was waiting for her on the roof of the school when the last class of the day dismissed. She smiled warmly as she presented the treats for the two of them to share.
"You didn't have to do this..." He told her.
"I know, but I wanted to." She answered.
He gave a smile only seen by her, pulling her into his arms before kissing her. "Happy Valentine's Day."

I have 2 questions for the NaruSaku family. One is a modern au question, and another is just a random question because that's what popped up into my brain.
Question 1: If the NaruSaku family were to each play a sport, what kind of sport would they play? If not a sport, what about a club activity?
Question 2: How would they react if I gave each of them a flower?
Hi there!
Welcome to my inbox. Oh, what an interesting question! I have never thought about it to be honest.
Hmm, if I were to think about them I think I'd separate them based on sports/activities.
I don't see all of them being sporty, nor all of them being very studious. It's a mix.
In Hanami & Naruto's case I'd see them playing some sort of sports because they're energetic like that & need an output for their energy.
Hanami maybe voleyball? And Naruto hmm... why do I see him playing baseball?
Sakura & Arashi would be somewhere involved with certain studies - Sakura in the medical field ofc & maybe some club activity that deals with learning a lot about the world at large, while Arashi I see him inclined towards archeology & philology. Cuz ya know, his Uzumaki heritage (archeology) and the seals (philology).
Shina on the other hand, I see him the most well-balanced out of all. He'd literally be a mix of some book club where they learn all about snails & sports because well, his master IS LEE after all. :D
As for how they'd react, well, they'd all love it in their own way.
Sakura would care for hers and preserve it as much as possible, Naruto would love it but give it to Sakura, Shina would probably plant it so he can grow many more the next year, Hanami would say cute and still give it to her mom to take care of it cuz she doesn't have the patience, and Arashi would love it but also keep it and press it and leave it to dry to complete a secret dried flower collections he'd have somewhere in his room.
That's how I see it, at least. Of course, interpreting could vary from NS fan to NS fan.
But these are my views. Hope that answered your question.
Thanks for asking!

Narusaku Modern!AU 🌸🍥
Tumblr media
Sakura has a very predictable routine. She wakes up and takes her shower at 4am. By 5am, she's already dressed and and eating her half burnt egg sandwich, she always forgets about the bread. By 6:30am, she's already at the train station waiting for the 7am train to come. Well...it is now seven and the train has not come yet.
"Damnit I'm gonna be late! Tsunade is going to kill me..."
No one is around except a tall bright blonde man sitting a few feet away from her. He had his head down, dozing off maybe, with his air pods in.
She always sees him at 6:55, always late but somehow never missing the train, and usually goes to the back on the train while she stays near the front. Even though she sees him every morning, this is the first time she's taken a good look. He's actually kind of cute.
Its 7:10 when she decides to walk towards him. Even though she stood right in front of him, his head was still down and his pods were blasting. Sakura huffed and tapped him on his shoulder. The man jumped at her touch and sat back wide-eyed.
"I'm sorry for scaring you! I just...see you on the same train sometimes so I wanted to ask if you know why our train hasn't come yet..."
He just stared at her with those bright blue eyes.
"Hello...?"
The man blinked a couple times before he face turned a bright red. "Y-Yes! Ah...the train! It uh...they said earlier when you checked in that it would be delayed until 7:30."
It was Sakura's turn to look at him wide-eyed. "7:30?! I have to get to work by 8!" Sakura sighed and put her hand into her hands. "I guess I have no choice."
Sakura sighed for the third time and sat next to the blonde. "I'm...Sakura by the way."
The man took out his air pods and turned to her. "I'm Naruto. And...you said you always see me?"
"Ah yeah," she chuckled. "You're always running to the train at 6:55."
"Oh...yeah. And the one time I come early," he gestures the the empty railroad. "But that's okay. You're...good company."
Sakura looked at him surprised. "Oh? That hold this early in the morning?"
"I-I mean you're nice to talk to since you know we see each other on the train and....stuff."
"Uh huh..."
They talked for a good 20 minutes more before the sound of a horn interrupted their conversation. It was the train.
Sakura looked at her phone and saw that it was 7:30 on the dot. "Finally, the train is here!" Sakura got on her feet gathering her stuff.
"Well, it was nice meeting you, Sakura-chan."
She turned to him. "Sakura-chan?"
"If you don't like it then-" she stopped him.
"Oh no it's fine. I like it." She smiled at him. His face started to heat up once again.
"Now, you're gonna sit with me on the train, right?"
Naruto, red face and all, only nodded. He gathered his stuff and followed behind her.

Hey days! I love all of your fics they r super good! N your recs r incredible too , i find that our tastes r almost similar 😁 ..i wanted to ask if u know some konohamaru+hanabi along with naruhina fics?
Thanks a lot♥️
:D Thank you for reading my fics, I'm glad you like them!! And I'm glad you like the recommendations!!
I think maybe the closest in taste/style for writing, reading, and headcanons miiiight be peppercorn or Imanga/badluckbrebis but that's just my impression, I haven't really talked about that with them. Bunnyhoodlum and I agree on a lot of stuff, but our writing expression feels different. Anyway,,
NaruHina + KonoHana
"Say Uncle" by Giada Luna - Rated G, Canon-Compatible, One-shot. Himawari has a talk with Aunt Hanabi about brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles.
"Kindled" by @waterrolls - Rated T, Canon-Compatible, One-shot. Sparks fly between Konohamaru and Hanabi when they are assigned a mission together.
“Serenity Prayer” by @katarinahime - Rated E for domestic abuse, substance abuse, and smut, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Ongoing.  In the midst of picking themselves up from failed marriages, Hinata and Naruto cross paths years after losing touch with each other. 
“secret lovers” by @quirrrky - Rated T, Canon-Compliant, Series of related one-shots. After the Fourth Shinobi War, Naruto was gradually falling in love with Hinata and the whole village of Konoha knew it…Well, aside from him. (Chapter 21 "red herring" has Konohamaru & Hanabi interaction).
“Born of Fire” by @mmmbuttery - Rated M, Firefighter AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. As a firefighter, Naruto knows how to keep his cool in any situation. So how’s the cute new cook making him hot under the collar?
"Naruto: Hyuuga Love" by CelticWolf55 - Rated M/E, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. Naruto and Hinata aren't a 'couple' but are still intimate with each other behind closed doors. And one night, shadowed by a tree near the Hyuuga compound, a younger Hyuuga catches a glimpse of her older sister in a precarious position with a certain hair-brained blond ninja. (If you can't handle any sort of depiction of NaruSaku, then skip this one.)
I almost forgot that I wrote one that hints at KonoHana.
“Catskin” - Rated M, Fairy Tale AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. She’s a nameless girl. Strange in dress, appearance, and accent in a foreign kingdom. She stowed away on a merchant ship, running from a certain future much worse than just losing her name.
If anyone knows more, feel free to add on!

NaruSaku Day:
"Sunshower"- (A fanfic)
Hey, y'all!!! In honor of NaruSaku day, I made a lil short fanfic, hehe. Hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
Sunshower: "A meteorological phenomenon in which rain falls while the sun is still shining."
"Woahhh! Are you a doctor or something?" A voice echoed throughout the empty classroom. Or… well, she thought it was an empty classroom. In a flash, Sakura spun on her heel to see a boy standing in the doorway. Sunshine illuminated his tan skin and gave his blonde hair a golden glow. It was the new kid!
His eyes were wide in amazement. She couldn't tell if he was faking the amazement or not. Some people did that to her. And they would then laugh and point with a mocking glint in their eyes. Was he gonna mock her too? She shouldn't get excited at his interest. She should just stay calm and try to get him to leave.
Sakura sighed. "No, idiot. We're both still in junior high. I'm not even old enough to volunteer at a hospital, much less be a doctor."
The boy took a few steps forward, now fully in the classroom, pushing his fists in his pockets with an easy grin on his face. "Neh, aren't you the smart girl in class? Could you blame me for thinking that you could be one?" He asked her, his bright blue eyes gleaming like the sea on a summer day. Sakura's eyebrows lifted. He actually thought I was a doctor…?
"I…I am pretty smart!" She said, a grin appearing on her own lips.
His eyes brightened even further. "Yeah, you are! And you looked so cool, ya know? Walking around with the white coat and talking to that skeleton over there-" he pointed at the lifeless "patient" propped against a few desks, "- and with all the fancy words too! Like, checking his 'vitals' or something like that?"
Sakura beamed. "Yeah!!!"
"And 'administering' medicine?"
"Yeah!!" Sakura exclaimed once more. Naruto grinned even more at her expression. He took a couple more steps toward her, shrugging his backpack off so it hit the ground.
"Hehe! It's pretty cool- do you practice in here?"
Sakura took a few steps toward him, nodding her head vigorously. "Yup, yup! I stay behind here during lunch break so I could practice. The teacher- Mr. Ramos- trusts me so he always leaves the key for me under the mat outside!"
He rushed over to her, now only a few feet away. "Woah! That's so- that's so cool!! My teachers at my school never trusted me!" Sakura shrugged, smiling even harder. People usually call me a teacher's pet. They don't think it's cool the way he does… It confused, yet amused her.
"I guess it's just cuz I follow the rules. Maybe that's why."
"Well, looks like following the rules is a great thing!" He shouted. Sakura chuckled. I guess so… Mr. Ramos taught 7th grade biology science, and he was always partial to her. Sakura genuinely enjoyed the class, and she had no problems raising her hand, answering questions, and helping out. People would usually call her a "suck-up", or say that she follows rules just so that she gets praise.
For the past two months, she's been allowed to leave her backpack and other belongings in the classroom during lunch. She'd grab a bite at the cafeteria and then run back here. She'd throw on Mr. Ramos' labcoat and practice with the plastic skeleton.
"Hey, um-" his voice came back to her ears.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Wanna practice on me?" He asked, a grin on his face. She gasped, rushing over to him in a flurry. They were now only a foot apart. Her green eyes sparkled.
"OH, MY GOSH YES!" She yelled.
"Hehe! Thanks!"
"No! Thank you!!!" Sakura couldn't believe it! She had someone real to practice on! No one else wanted to. She had no friend at school.
"Nah! I should be thanking you anyway cuz I don't really have anyone to hang out with. And you seem really cool! So I choose you." He said, smiling wide. Sakura tilted her head.
"Is that why you were walking around by yourself?"
"Mhm, yup!" He said, completely unbothered and still grinning. Is he used to being alone…? Sakura paused, looking down at the speckled rug beneath them. He gets me, then. And I guess… She looked up to see him tilting his head at her with a confused expression. She grinned. I get him too!
"Well, I won't disappoint you! You won't regret your choice! Doctor Haruno will take care of you!" She said with certainty strong in her voice as she patted a hand against her chest. He grinned back at her.
"Doctor Haruno, huh? I like it!"
"Oh, and what about your name?"
"Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki."
"Okay! You're my patient from now on, Mr. Uzumaki!"
"And what's your first name, Dr. Haruno?"
She beamed. "Sakura."
"Sakura…" He paused. "Sakura," his voice lowered to a whisper. He repeated her name, letting it roll on his tongue over and over again. He grinned at her. "Sakura! Pretty, just like the flower!" A soft smile wormed its way to Sakura's lips.
Before she could say 'thank you', the bell rang, Naruto grabbed his backpack and waved, and she was left standing as she watched his golden hair disappear.
From then on, they would meet every day during lunch time. They'd grab a bite to eat and then rush over to the classroom. Sakura would bend down, uncovering the key under the mat and Naruto would excitedly whisper in a hushed voice, "It's like we're sneaking in or something!"
Sakura would roll her eyes and smile. They'd enter the classroom and he'd sit himself on a desk as Sakura threw on the lab coat. She would write his name down on her "files" (a couple of sheets on her binder) and record information about hypothetical questions. Then, she'd gently poke him with a pencil as her "injection needle". Or take his pulse. Or measure his height.
He'd fake injuries or sicknesses and she'd give him the cure or procedure he would need if it were real.
For instance, one day, he told her that his arm was bleeding "real bad". So, she showed him how to make a tourniquet on the skeleton. She'd gently wrap some cloth over his arm and say, "Like this, but much much more harder! Bleeding has to be stopped. If blood soaks through, always add more guaze or cloth!"
And he'd always nod at her with amazement. Every time she'd answer a question, give him directions, or demonstrate a procedure, his mouth would stretch in awe.
As time went on, those hypothetical questions became less and less hypothetical. The situations became less and less fake.
One day, he came in with a bruise on his cheek and Sakura screeched.
"NARUTO, WHAT HAPPENED?"
"Oh! Hehe, I fell down while I was trying to play soccer at recess earlier!"
"Idiot!" She shouted, punching him on the shoulder.
"Owww, Sakura!" He whined. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him to a desk. He watched as she bent down, zipped open her backpack, and pulled out an aluminum water bottle, along with a pair of rubber tweezers from a small box. He continued watching, slack-jawed, as she spun the cap off, pinched the tweezers, and reached in the bottle to pull out a neatly sized ice cube!
"Woahhh, Sakura!"
"Shut up, you moron!" She strode over to him and lightly applied the ice to his bump. He kept quiet as the ticking on the clock on the wall beat in the otherwise silent air between them. She continually replaced the ice with new ones even before they'd melt.
"Hey, how come you're replacing the ice?" He asked, with wide blue puppy eyes and a tilted head.
Sakura sighed, an exasperated smile on her face. How can I stay mad at you? "It's to ensure that the temperature is fresh and remains cold. Also, I just like having fresh clean ice- prevents mess and any bacteria and makes the healing process faster."
"Oh, I see." He nodded, as the ice slid up and down his bruise. It stayed up only because Sakura was still holding it against him with her tweezers.
"What else do you keep in that backpack of yours, Doctor Haruno?" He asked. Sakura grinned. She threw the ice in the sink and wiped Naruto's cheek with a napkin.
"Looks like the swelling went down. Be careful from now on, okay?"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Okay, as for my backpack," she put on some rubber gloves, "- here's what's inside!" She hoisted the bag onto the desk and pulled out the small metal box. Within was a packet of Band-Aids, a small roll of gauze, a few alcohol wipes, and ointment packets.
"Woahhhh!"
She chuckled as she pulled out a box of rubber gloves, a plastic bag of surgical masks, and hand sanitizer. "To prevent and kill germs!" She enthusiastically said.
"Wow!! You're so cool, Sakura!"
She smiled. "Thanks… Naruto."
The days passed. Autumn turned to winter. At this point, she had a record of Naruto's injuries, along with allergies. She was so glad that she had the same science class as him. It was their only class together, but she was grateful to have him in it.
He was her… her friend. He was bright like the sun, always smiling and always encouraging her. She never felt bad about her passions around him. She could always talk and talk about the information she learned and he'd actually listen instead of mock her. She could wear her rubber gloves without him judging. She could rub on sanitizer all day and he wouldn't bat an eye.
The days were getting colder. And Sakura would come to school with a mask on. Naruto never judged, but the rest of the kids did. She'd constant have her hand sanitizer and box of tissues sitting by her worksheets on her desk. She'd sometimes even wear gloves. The cold wind would seep through her skin and wrap itself around her bones.
She'd shake and shake in her seat as it stabbed her like blades of ice. Purple crescent moons appeared under her eyes. A weight pressed upon her back and threatened to push her to the ground.
Naruto would ask what's wrong, and Sakura would laugh and say she's okay. All the while telling him to be 6 feet away so he doesn't get sick too. She'd put on her gloves whenever she touched him. And he'd look at her masked face, worried.
One crisp Tuesday morning, she coughed and coughed in bed until drops of scarlet rained down onto her sheets. Her mother came rushing into the room. "My baby, my baby!" She wailed, gathering Sakura up in her arms and yelling at her father- yelling for him to grab the car keys and start the car up.
They took her to the hospital. She spent the rest of the week connected to chords and pumps.
Her weary eyes would stare out the frosty window. The only thing she liked was the sun that stared back at her and the pretty orange sunsets that would abound in the evenings.
The cold was never nice to her. The cold hated her. Or maybe… it was her body that did.
Ever since Sakura was a young child, she was always susceptible to getting sick. Horribly sick. So sick that she frequented the hospital, especially during the winter. She was weak.
And people hated her for being weak. Preschool days were filled with kids avoiding her because of her masks and gloves. Her "strange obsession" with being clean and germ-free.
And Sakura, early on, had decided that she wanted to be a doctor. So that she could help any kid, any person, who feels weak. Weak in body and weak in heart. Healing. That's what they need. And that's what she wants to give.
When she came back to school the following Monday, she decided to take a walk on the field, where it was quiet.
Naruto came out of nowhere, with gleaming eyes. He ran to her, alling at his knees, shouting her name. No amount of her shouting "Don't come close!", "You'll get sick too!", "You won't feel good if you touch me!", No amount of her shaking her gloved hands at him, or her pulling at her mask, could stop him.
Stop him from throwing himself at her. Stop him from wrapping his arms around her and tightly embrace her. The force of his embrace sent them flying into the grass. And Sakura, with her breath knocked out of her, laughed.
Laughed so hard and so loud. She put her arms around Naruto, and the mask on her face fell off. He looked up at her, his eyes only a few inches away from hers.
"Your eyes… so pretty…"
"What?" She asked, not processing his words. Still dazed from everything.
"You… I missed you."
"It's only been a few days," she said, out of breath.
"Yeah, and I'd be happy for you to be gone a few days. You really deserve the break. But… you didn't seem like yourself the past few days. I thought…" He rolled off her, sitting down and gathering his legs up in a criss-cross. She still laid down next to him, looking up at his face. "I thought something bad happened. Was it really bad?"
Sakura hesitated. She was scared. Scared that he'd stop hanging out with her if he knew the depth of her illness. If he knew just how weak she was.
"You don't have to say if you don't want to." He said.
"I…" She took a deep breath. "Yeah… it was pretty bad."
"What happened?"
"Naruto… I'm sick. I have this sickness and I get sick real bad real easily." He nodded slowly. "And… I can't tolerate cold weather very well either. I've always gone to the hospital a lot cuz of my weak immune system. It's always the worst in winter."
"Well now I hate winter!" Naruto huffed, crossing his arms. And Sakura's eyes widened, widened so much until she just started laughing. That's it? No judgement? No mocking? Just anger at winter? She couldn't stop. She laughed and laughed. He simply tilted his head.
"What? I'm serious! Winter is forever sucky to me now, Sakura."
"Pfft! You don't have to hate winter!"
"Well, it sucks cuz it makes you suffer!"
She grinned at him. "Naruto…"
"And you're not weak!! If I had the sickness you had, then I'd be dead already! You're amazing, Sakura." Her eyes widened at his words. He stared at her, a serious expression in his hard eyes. "And… is that why you want to be a doctor?"
He… he gets me… Time seemed to slow. Sakura simply nodded her head slowly, staring ahead of her. "Yeah… yeah, that's why…"
He shook his head as he stared at her, his mouth pressed in a tight line. "That's it… that just tells me you're strong. Cuz you wanna help people out of pain. Cuz you know how it is."
She smiled at him, and threw herself against him. They landed on the grass with him on the bottom this time. He stared up at her as she beamed down at her. Her hair brushed against his cheeks.
She stared at those tan, sun-kissed cheeks. Her hand came up, her fingers tracing the pink scars along his face. They were straight and fanned out like sun rays. Like whiskers. She giggled to herself and she stroked his cheeks in awe.
He simply stated back, admiring her pink hair and her green eyes.
The bell rang. They got up onto their class.
The next day was the last day before winter break, and they were there on the field again, idly chatting and joking around. It was cold, so Sakura had her gloves on today. She put a gloved hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"Hey, Naruto?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you wanna be when you grow up?" She asked. Naruto stiffened and his eyes widened. Oh no! Did I ask him a bad question? Is he unsure? Is his parents trying to pressure him to do something he doesn't want?
"I'm sorry, Naruto, you don't have to answer if you don't wan-"
He sighed, smiling at her. "Nah, it's all good…" Sakura tilted her head. You sure about that? "I… um- I actually don't know what I wanna be."
Ohhhh, I see. He still seems a little upset though… "Well, that's okay!! You don't have to know right now! Your parents aren't pressuring you or anything, right?"
He stiffened again. "I… I don't have parents." Sakura gasped. "Oh! Oh, my god! Naruto, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean-"
He smiled. "It's okay. They died when I was really young. I'm at a foster home right now, so I guess that's good, right?"
She put an arm around his shoulders. "It's okay to be upset, Naruto. Don't do that fake smile around me." His eyes widened at her words, and he looked down at the ground, sighing.
"Thanks, Sakura…" His lips curled slightly, and Sakura was satisfied to see that his smile was more genuine than the last. He deserves to heal too. She thought. I wonder what weight he carries. I wonder how heavy that burden is.
"Don't thank me." She paused. "Is there anything you like to do?"
"Soccer, I guess."
"You're pretty good at soccer! Maybe you can be a soccer player!"
He chuckled. "Maybe."
"Or a soccer coach!"
"You think I'd be good at that!"
"Yuh-huh!!! Anything! Anything you like as long it makes you happy!"
"Don't I have to be good at it too?"
"Well, duh. But there's no point if you don't like it. Plus, you're good at a lotta stuff, Naruto!"
"Like what?"
"Making people smile." She said, looking directly at him. They listened to the wind around them. Sakura closed her eyes. "Promise to never fake smile around me?"
He grinned at her. "Yeah, I promise. Believe it!"
The bell rang, and they were off to their classes. Once Sakura got home, her winter break began. And. It. Was. Miserable. Yeah, she liked having a break from school. But, this year was hard.
It was her first year in junior high. Ino, her best friend from elementary, would be the one she would hang with during the breaks. But she moved to another state in another school. And they lost contact. Sakura came into junior high alone. Naruto became her new friend.
And! She didn't know where Naruto lived so she couldn't visit him at all. I'm such an idiot! I need to ask him! But she couldn't ask him because she didn't have his social media information. Did he even have a phone?
She would have to wait until winter break ended for her to ask. I should ask for his mailing address too so I can write letters to him in case he has no phone!
Winter caused her to sick, and she swung by the hospital multiple times throughout those weeks. Winter break was also the time for family gatherings. And well, at school, she was mocked and ignored. At family gatherings, she was passive aggressively rebuked and scorned. Especially by the adults.
Aunts and uncles and grandmothers and grandfathers would whisper every time she passed by. "There she is. The girl sucking up the money in the family." "The weakling." "The burden."
Sakura knew that her frequent hospital visits were causing financial strains and her parents would sometimes ask the family to chip in. Sakura never wanted to be a burden. That's why she worked so hard and tried so hard and fought so hard.
But hearing these things just didn't help. She didn't have Ino to turn to. Or Naruto. And her parents weren't always at home.
Her heart felt heavy. She felt damaged and broken. Weak and a burden.
Healing… I just need…
When school finally came back around, Sakura was discouraged to see that she shared no classes with Naruto. Since it was a new semester, she got switched from a science class to a history one.
She didn't even see Naruto enter the school. It was raining that day. She was hoping he'd be late. Maybe because of traffic from the rain? But the hours ticked and still no sign of the sun. Of the sun in the sky. And of her sun. Her golden Naruto.
By lunchtime, she was standing under the shade of an awning by one of the classrooms. She couldn't go inside Mr. Ramos' classroom since she wasn't in his class anymore. So she was left standing outside in the cold. Other students were standing in circles under umbrellas.
“SAKURA!!” Naruto! Her Naruto! He had shot up out of nowhere, bounding to her. So he was late afterall! He was shaking his hair to and fro, like a dog. She laughed as he grinned ear to ear at her.
"What took you so long?" She asked. He quickly shrugged off his soggy orange hoodie.
"Sorry! I got up super late. Right after break time! I ran over here as fast as I could- I was two hours late to school and my teacher yelled at me!"
Sakura laughed. "Oh, I'm so relieved- oomph!" She felt his arms wrap around her and she sighed as she buried her head into his neck. He took off his sweater so he'd be dry. For her. So she wouldn't get sick.
She hugged him tight. She could feel a hand stroke the back of her head.
"What do you want to do, Sakura?" He whispered into her ear.
"I…" What do I want to do? She sighed, remembering just how happy Naruto looked as he ran to her. She saw the way he splashed in the puddles and sparkled in the rain. She never got to do stuff like that because it would just make her sick. But… Naruto can. And I like that he can. She gripped his arms and nuzzled her head against his chin.
"Have fun for me out there, yeah?"
He tilted his head against her touch. "What's something you've always wanted to do in the rain?"
She smiled into his neck and whispered, "Dance." She felt him nod as he pulled away from her with his eyes on her and his hands on her shoulders.
“Okay. I’ll dance for the both of us.” He flashed another grin at her before rocketing back off to the rain, spinning, splashing, sliding, and dancing, making sure to direct his eyes at her every time he spun around. She watched him the whole time, laughing and smiling.
The sun peeked behind the clouds. It's rays of light reflected in each drop of rain, coloring the sky in a golden haze.
Naruto and Sakura laughed, smiled, and howled into the air.
It's golden. It's good. It's bright. It's…
Healing.

i need......opinions 
if hypothetically sasuke found out that sakura was having an affair with naruto...do y’all think he’d actually be mad? like, that’s my wife how fucking dare you mad? or she’s my property mad? 
or do you think he’d be like ... cold but accepting and just like fine, just get your shit out of MY house. 
part of me wants him to be pissed the fuck off and fight naruto but like ... i don’t think he ever truly loved her anyway so why would he other than thinking she’s his property? 
but would he even think like that? or would he just be all, tch, a waste of time
i’m currently brainstorming back to you and i can’t decide if i want him to be dramatic and angry or infuriatingly apathetic about it

Divorce AU - Falling Apart, Together - On_kamis_green_earth - T, family/drama, angst, romance, 15746 words, complete (series is WIP) Shikamaru and Temari got divorced nearly a decade ago. Now their son is in middle school and going through a bit of a rebel phase. Parenting when you 'hate' you ex is definitely a challenge. Good thing Temari never backs down from a challenge.
Shikadai has a crush, his parents suck at love and he has no idea what to do. (Nextgen shenanigans)

Narusaku modern!AU

Naruto loved love. He hadn't experienced it early on in his childhood, but once he found his chosen family, he knew the feeling and sis what ever to keep it. So, here he was, watching one of his closest friend getting married while he is all alone. No partner. No ring. No love life.
It wasn't always like this. For a while, he was engaged to a sweet girl named Hinata. However, in the end, they ended their relationship the weekend of their mutual friend's wedding. It was no one's fault that the relationship ended. It's just that...he didn't have that burning feeling, the longing, wanting feeling that he had with... It was just... different with her. And so, yesterday morning, he ended it. At least he got to watch this beautiful ceremony.
"You should start over." Sai told him.
Maybe he should. The relationship was dead for a while so it's not bad to start looking, right? He and Hinata had been together for nearly four years. It's time to find someone new. Or someone old. Someone like...her.
Sakura Haruno.
"Ino was telling me she got dumped this weekend too. What are the odds" Sai teased.
What are the odds indeed. They almost ended up together back in high school but she moved away for college but he...stayed. He wonders if she still remembers the kiss under the cherry blossom tree...
She looked perfect standing by the large open window. There was a gentle breeze flowing through the room, which would hit Sakura's hair first. It was a little longer than the last time he saw her. The light breeze swept through witch made strands of her hair dance in the wind.
She was stunning, just as he remembered.
Could this be a refresher? Or rather a second chance with his first love? Maybe. He'll just have to go over there and find out
