It was a peaceful springtime in the leaf village, Orochimaru was unusually quiet, the other villages, sent the occasional message that everything was fine and no help was needed. At this point though, just like Rock Lee and Might Guy would say, “these kids are in the springtime of their youth! Love! And passion is the roads to adulthood!” This was one of the most truthful quotes spoken by Might Guy, and it depicted exactly what was going on in the leaf village at that time…

Just after a mission, on the outskirts of the leaf village, in a cosy inn, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were all getting ready to go out for dinner at the local ramen shop. Well Naruto and Sasuke were at least Sakura had different plans; but how could she tell them? What could she say? The ideas turned around in her head, until finally she settled on one she liked.

“You guys go on ahead I’m not hungry and besides I’m also trying out this new diet Shizune showed me.” Quick as lightning Sasuke replied, “But you’re not fat…” Sakura’s heart skipped a beat. Was… was that a compliment? She accepted that it was and blushing she giggled “thanks Sasuke, but I really should test it out, who knows maybe I’ll be thin and prettier!”
Naruto was still slightly shaken by this yet he smiled and called over his shoulder “All right! See ya! I’m getting her ramen!” Sasuke simply half grunted and half sighed as he does and left.

Sakura was alone she was slightly worried that they may have come back, but this was an emergency, yes this was totally necessary she thought.
