Hi I’m Emb3rs and I wanted to share an idea that I came to while thinking about how would NaruSaku best be started. You already have a well developed relationship a little into Shippuden but where would it best start I thought, what setting would be great for this love story to get serious? Also I apologize if I seem ignorant to some things, Its only been a little over a month since I started watching the anime and I know little of the manga, but hey it seems to be enough for me to absolutely love NaruSaku.
Naruto Road to Ninja is where I found the most potential. In this movie Sakura and Naruto are sent to an alternate universe where everything is looks similar but history and character personalities are opposite of they’re own world. Sakura over the years has come to really admire Naruto for his development and feels the need to protect him. She doesn’t fully understand why Naruto wants so many friends because she’s never really been in his situation. Until they are sent to this alternate universe.
Slowly in the movie Naruto starts to adjust to having his parents around and Sakura learns how sad the life Naruto lives really is like and why he likes having people around him.
This is where there relationship can kick off. Naruto isn’t one to be selfish. The anime and manga made Naruto someone who puts the lives of just about everyone, even more so towards Sakura, before his own. This works in well to this movie because Sakura knows now how Naruto feels and wishes she could have been more sensitive with her words when speaking on the subject.
So skip to the scene were Sakura goes looking for Naruto to say she feels alone and wishes she were back with her family. She gets to the window and finds Naruto with a heart warming smile on his face sitting with the family he never got to have. Sakura starts to think maybe she is being selfish by wanting to take him away from something he never got to have. She starts to feel guilty and with no one to talk to.
As she heads back down the stairs wiping the tears off her cheeks a someone gently grabs her hand. She turns around to see Naruto smiling holding her hand. “Come inside I want you to meet them” he says. Sakura wipes the tears from her eyes, smiling she looks at Naruto and says “ I’d love to.” After they say there goodbyes Naruto notices that Sakura isn’t her usual self. She seemed happy throughout dinner and was eager to learn of how Minato and Kushina came to be together. Naruto never did like seeing Sakura sad but didn’t know what to do. Later that night he hears someone sobbing outside his window he looks out to find Sakura curled up with tears in her eyes.
“It hurts to be alone,” Naruto says to Sakura. They talk almost the entire night reminiscing on there times together with and without Sasuke. Sakura smiles at the fact that Naruto is the only person who can make her feel joy in helpless situations. Naruto stands up, looks at Sakura and says, “I wont let you go through what I did if I can help it. I wont let the ones I love get hurt.” Sakura surprised by his deep words hugs Naruto and thanks him for always being there for her. Naruto tells her she can sleep in his bed and that he would take the floor. Sakura comes close to rejecting the offer but realizes he doesn’t want her to be alone. She smiles and says okay but warns him that if he tries anything funny she wouldn’t hold back. Naruto smiles at her and says I wouldn’t dare. Sakura couldn’t shake the weird feeling in her heart that she got when thinking of how Naruto is always with her even when she treats him so cold. She turns around to see him sleeping and giggles quietly. Shes so use to seeing him hyper and ready to go but never so still, so calm.
Naruto wakes up shocked to see Sakura next to him sitting asleep just inches from him holding his hand. She wakes up while Naruto is heading out of the room and in shock to her thoughts from that night. She decides to keep quiet to avoid any awkwardness between them but even then Naruto starts to notice her acting more accepting to him. The next few days they spent in this universe they seemed inseparable they were closer than ever before.
Then the masked man being advised by Tobi attacks the village in an attempt to recover the red moon scroll. They fail in this attempt but manage to distract Naruto and capture Sakura as a hostage for the exchange of the scroll. Naruto without a second to spare prepares to go after Sakura. His parents refuse because they don’t want to see him get hurt but Naruto reminds them that if they really love him they will support him all the way. He takes Minatos knife and leaves to save Sakura.
As he arrives at the training camp he is greeted by Tobi. After a few blows given it Is revealed that the masked man is really Menma the Naruto of that universe. The Akatsuki do there best to hold back Menmas forces. Sakura tied up to the pillars cant do anything but watch as Menma and Naruto fight each other with everything they have. With two Kuramas fighting each other major destruction occurs with both Menma and Naruto being even in strength. Menma realizes that he wont get anywhere with a fight evenly matched so he goes after Sakura hoping to throw Naruto off long enough to attack. Kurama goes in for the kill, Sakura helpless to the situation can only close her eyes and think of her happy moments. Her family, team 7. Her friends, and Naruto. She got that weird feeling in her heart again and saw only Naruto in what she felt would be her last thoughts. She opened her eyes and saw what she imagined Naruto. Menma stood in shock at Narutos resolve. Naruto impaled by Kuramas claw stood there smiling at Sakura. “I wont let you,” said Naruto before a flash of yellow appeared and cut off Kuramas claw. The Itachi quickly comes in and unties Sakura and pulls her away from danger.
Naruto turns around to see Minato and remembers his knife was with him all along. Together they pull back Kurama and with the last bit of his strength Naruto takes out Menma. Minato and Kushina find out the real Menma was being controlled by the ghost like masked manned. Tobi retreated now that his plan failed and he couldn’t capture Naruto. Minato brings Naruto to Sakura. Kushina holding Menma in his arms tells Sakura to take care of Naruto and if she really loves him he wont ever be alone.
Sakura keeps Naruto in her laps as she tries everything to save his life. Slowly he starts to pass out from the blood loss. He looks at Sakura still smiling all she can do is ask why. “ Why Naruto, why did you …” he wipes the tears off her eyes and says, “I wont let anyone hurt you … I refuse too.. Because I.” Sakura holds him tight, “ don’t leave me Naruto, I love you, come back to me.” Slowly they start to fade away from the alternate universe and back to the playground they were last at.
Back home the entire time they were gone was nothing but an hour or two back in there universe. The ninja of Konoha started a search due to some of the commotion heard at the park. Shikamaru was leading the search and was investigating the park where the noise was heard. Shikamaru was getting no where and didn’t know what to make of the situation. Ino suddenly yelled out, “ What the hell is that,” everyone searching the area rushed to the park. Two figures became solid from what started as a light glow. Sakura crying over what looked like a dead Naruto. Although confused by the situation, everyone their ran in to help there friend Naruto. But it seemed hopeless by the looks of the injuries. After a moment Shikamaru noticed the injuries and Narutos cloak slowly fading away. Sakura held him tight to her heart and kept murmuring, “ I love you, come back to me.” Absolute silence fell upon everyone around the two. Sakuras murmurs were heard all around adding to the grief in everyone’s hearts.
Shikamaru speaks out and says, “look everyone the wound is fading away!” Sakura stopped crying and the moment she opened her eyes Narutos eyes open as well. Staring back at her, wiping the tears off her cheeks he says, “ don’t cry.” Everyone around was shocked and happy to hear his voice. Sakura smiling, with tears rolling down her chin, brings Naruto closer. She gently kisses him with her final words being, “ Don’t leave me .. I . Love you too.”
This can be worked into an awesome NaruSaku story. There are many things I know need editing and even more to be learned from fans of NaruSaku so I hope to hear tips from everyone who likes this story as well.
My email is emb3rs@outlook so if you have any comments, tips or reviews please do send them to me. Also links to your own NaruSaku stories I enjoy reading them and gathering ideas from them. The last part was an edited form of a video which everyone says is an ova or something I saw on you tube were Sakura and Kakashi find Narutos body and just when they lose hope he comes back to life and Sakuras face in that vid made me so happy it brought up my love for this NaruSaku fanfic
