blonde and stared at her in disbelief. "A ... brother? But since when ..." At the thought that there might still be a Naruto, Hinata's cheeks turned slightly reddish. Both Tenten and Neji stared at Ino with a mixture of disbelief and amazement. "Isn't it true ?? Naruto doesn't have ..."
“What am I not?” Everyone turned around and saw a blond boy with Shino in tow come through the back door of the restaurant.
"Naruto!"
The blond grinned and looked around with his blue eyes. "Hi guys! So what did you just talk about me?", Naruto asked curiously and sat down. "Hi Hinata!", He greeted the Hyuuga next to him briefly and smiled.The girl blushed and looked at the counter, embarrassed. "Hi ... Naruto."
Noticing this, Neji looked at Naruto and raised an eyebrow. Not that he had anything against this Uzumaki, but that his sister fell in love with Naruto of all people ...

Ino, who now sat down on the other vacant stool next to Naruto, stared hard at him.
"Naruto", Ino said calmly, whereupon the person addressed turned his head to her. "Eh, yeah?"
"I met someone yesterday."
"Ok ... and who?" The blonde scratched his head; he didn't seem to understand what the Yamanaka was getting at.
"Your big brother."
Naruto stared at Ino incomprehensibly. "My brother !? But I don't have a brother at all !!"
"I expected you to say that. Your brother meant that too."
Ino tripped her fingers on the bar counter and looked at the Uzumaki expectantly. "So what are you hiding from us?"
Naruto, who had been speechless for a moment, seemed to be brooding over what was actually going on."You weren't at Moon Star Entertainment, were you ??" he asked, and it looked as if it was slowly dawning on the Uzumaki.
"Oh yes, we were. Sakura was at an audition and we had the privilege of meeting your older brother Yondaime in person."
Now a light dawned on the blonde. "Wait a minute, Yondaime is my father."
"Yeah, he's your ... I beg your pardon, Yondaime is your father?!?"
Sakura's mouth fell open too. Naruto's father was really the president of Moon Star Entertainment !?
"For being your father, he looked damn young." Ino said critically. She seemed to doubt Naruto's words.
"My father is 36 years! Why is he telling you that anyway? That's typical again ..." Naruto grumbled and was visibly upset. His father was always fond of such jokes. But somehow that didn't work at the moment.
"You went to an audition?" He said to Sakura to change the subject.
"Yes, your father immediately offered me a record deal."“That's great, Sakura-chan!” Suddenly his excitement about Yondaime was gone and he grinned.

Sakura felt a burning question on her tongue for a while, but didn't dare to ask Naruto. On the one hand, she was very interested, on the other hand, it was probably the wrong time. Did Naruto know about that too?

"Anyway, I knew it, Sakura." The addressed winced startled. Shino, who had sneaked up to Sakura from behind, whispered to her softly: "Sasuke doesn't seem to have changed very much." Haruno swallowed. Somehow she found it uncomfortable how Shino whispered so softly and in an extremely mysterious pitch. But what bothered her even more: Why did Shino think that Sasuke hadn't changed that much? When Sakura was about to turn around to ask him that, he was already gone.

That morning the Haruno decided to listen to the weather forecast on the radio for once, and went out of the house without an umbrella, although it looked pretty much that it would soon be raining heavily.Ino was the first to leave the house; she had to help out in her parents' flower shop early in the morning.

In her mind, Sakura crossed the intersection. It was the second time that day that she had to think about Sasuke. She was still brooding over the Uchiha's strange behavior; why was he suddenly in such a hurry after she sang?

When Sakura entered the "Moon Star Entertainment" building, she was greeted by Shouta, who had apparently been waiting for her. Again he carried a portfolio with him, as on the previous day. "Welcome Sakura-san. How are you today?" A little surprised that the young man Sakura sighed, she replied: "Thank you, I'm fine! Oh yes ..." Haruno dug the contract out of her pocket and handed it to Shouta. "My parents agreed."
The secretary looked carefully at the two papers, then nodded in satisfaction and put the papers neatly in the folder.“Before I forget, what's your name?” Sakura gave Shouta a clear look. "What do you mean, what do you want my name to be?"
"Your stage name." Shouta said with a smile. "Do you want a stage name?"
Sakura thought about it. She had already thought about it last night but wasn't sure whether to use "that" name.
"Cereza.", She finally said resolutely.

"Cereza?"
Sakura turned to the person who had just spoken. This stood, not even a meter away from her, leaning against one of the marble pillars and had an amused smile on his face.
Sasuke Uchiha.
"Hmph." Without paying any more attention to the boy, Sakura turned back to Shouta, but Shouta seemed to be pleased about Sasuke's appearance. "Ah, Sasuke-kun, it's good you're here! Yondaime-sama asked you a favor that I should do you."
"And that would be?", The Uchiha asked visibly listless and now buried his hands in the pockets of his black jeans."Unfortunately, I have to go to a conference right away and can't take care of Sakura-san today, so you'll have to do it for me."

What was worse right now? The fact that it was just starting to pour out of the bucket (Sakura cursed the damn radio presenter inside), or that she was about to spend half the day with the honorable Sasuke Uchiha - the so coveted singer Cloud Noir? The latter was clearly worse, that was already certain for Sakura.

Instead of responding, Sasuke just stared silently at Haruno ("Oh God, what's that look for again !?" shot through the head of the pink-haired girl), then pushed herself off the pillar without a word and left.
Sakura looked a little amazed after the Uchiha. "Um ..." Shouta looked pretty confused too. But then, to the amazement of both of them, Sasuke stopped, looked around and shouted, visibly impatient: "Will it be soon?"

"What was that supposed to mean?", Sakura asked himself now confused; only seconds later, the Haruno realized that she was meant by that."We'll see you again soon. I'll register your name with us. Goodbye!" Shouta held up a hand in parting.

Sakura nodded and involuntarily ran after Sasuke, who had meanwhile started moving again.
