Sasuke left the village with Sakura to go with her to a place where no one could disturb her. Sakura ran slightly behind Sasuke, but he stops, which she did then.
"Sakura, why are you running behind me and not next to me? Are you afraid of me?" Sasuke asked and waited eagerly for her answer.
"No, I'm not scared. I don't know myself for sure." Sakura stammered and stood next to him before they walked on next to each other.

Karin, on the other hand, was more than jealous because she was in love with Sasuke herself.
However, she went with Naruto to see where she could sleep, because somehow she was very tired.

"What, should I sleep here? I'd rather lie under a bridge. Are you crazy or what?" Karin shouted at Naruto and woke someone up with it.
"Tell me, calm down. We mean it well. Why do you have to yell at me like that?" Asked Naruto and looked at a person who was standing behind Karin. Karin noticed this and immediately turned around.
"Do you actually know what time it is? Why do you have to make such a noise?" Kakashi asked sleepily and looked strangely at Naruto.
"Sasuke is back and has brought her here. Well, now I wanted to offer her a place to sleep, but she just yells at me, even though I meant it well. What can I do if she has to react like that."
Naruto was just getting loud himself and didn't notice it himself.
"Some people don't know what it is like to get such a generous offer. If they don't accept it, then they still have a lot to learn ... Oh, where is Sasuke anyway?" Asks Kakashi, after he had almost started another moral sermon.
"He went for a walk with Sakura. Suddenly Sakura seems to be a completely different person again, since she knew he was back."
"Oh yes, she was already back then ... well, then you should be alone first and you won't make such a noise anymore."
Kakashi turned and ran away without even looking at Karin.
"Such a conceited snob. What does he think he is?" Karin complained.
"Hey, not a word about mine, Sakuras and Sasukes Sensei. He's a Jonin and has a lot of knowledge and experience that you can only dream of."
Suddenly Karin said nothing more to it, but was satisfied with what was offered to her as a place to sleep.

Sasuke arrived with Sakura in a place that was beautiful.
"I've never been here. How can it be that I haven't found such a beautiful place yet?" Sakura asked himself and ran to the lake, where a waterfall ended.
"Sasuke, when did you find this place?" Asked Sakura and turned to him.
"A long time ago when we were Genin. But I didn't show this place to anyone, because I just wanted to share this place with a very special person, you Sakura."
Sakura blushed her cheeks and felt very flattered to be a very special person from Sasuke.She turned back to the lake and her eyes sparkled like a little child's. She was happy and Sasuke saw that clearly. I smile was gentle and beautiful. So nice that Sasuke would have loved to kiss her right away.
But he wanted to take it easy and was careful.
He walked slowly up to her and hugged her gently from behind.
Sakura winced briefly because she hadn't expected it, but then relaxed again when she felt this wonderful feeling inside.
She tilted her head to one side on his arm and closed her eyes.
"I always feel so safe around you, Sasuke. The time you weren't there, I often felt lonely. So often I had to think of you, whether you were okay or whether something happened to you. I cried Sometimes for nights, but that's finally over now, because you're finally here again. "Said Sakura and a calm voice and still had her eyes closed.

"I missed you too, but I couldn't return sooner. As much as I liked it, I couldn't. I hope you will forgive me Sakura. But I'm back here and I won't go again."
Then it became quiet and both just enjoyed being very close and no one to disturb them.

"Sakura, there is something I want to tell you."
Sakura turned to Sasuke and waited eagerly.
"Well, that's the way it is. I've wanted to tell you something for a long time, but there never was a suitable moment. Sakura, I ..."

Sasuke was interrupted, but by whom?
Sakura and Sasuke both stood there rigidly and were amazed who was standing in front of them.
"This is just an inopportune moment in which you showed up. Why are you still alive, we had you back then ..."
"Why he's still alive is probably nobody's business now. We're here for a different reason." A young woman interrupted Sasuke.
Sakura looked questioningly at Sasuke and was slightly confused to see him here again.
"After he died, I wanted to strive, too, but I found a purpose to go on living and that was her. You don't even know how difficult it is to suppress one's feelings every day just to appear strong. Nobody understands one and nobody gives you the chance to prove that you do have feelings. Although I haven't shown any feelings before Kisara, she appreciates me for who I am. I am exhausting and often unbearable, but she does not leave me alone. I have her attacked so often, but there was never a reason for them to just let me down as many others would have done. "
"Then why are you such a chunk of ice and show no feelings?" Sakura asked hesitantly and looked into his eyes.
"If you have subjects and they rely on you, then you cannot show any weaknesses. But if they rebel against you, because you no longer know how to help yourself, you have to seek help, even if it is from my enemies is.I have to speak to your Hokage and to him. "
Sakura looked questioningly at Sasuke and hoped that he would give an answer.
But suddenly Sasuke just started walking.
"Then go into the village and talk to Kakashi first. Because we cannot decide whether you are allowed to go to the Hokage. The danger that you have planned an ambush is too great to simply let yourself go to him."
Said Sasuke and ran ahead with Sakura.
Kisara started walking too, but then stopped again and turned around.
"What's wrong? Come with me. We can do it and I won't leave you alone. I'll help you, no matter what." Kisara said and ran on with him.
But would the Hokage even see them, or would he send them away again and leave them to their own fate?
