[The recent events had certainly left a lot for people to think about. Naruto is no different, the past few days spent comparing fake memories with the real thing. Mostly he was hung up on how normal the fake life had seemed, a (fake) lifetime spent with a huge, loving family he had never had until arriving in this place.

Out of everything though, there is one question that plagues him the most. Here it comes...]

[Audio]

So even though that place was fake, and the things we remembered from it aren't really real, we're not still like.... legally married or anything, right? Right?

I don't think I'm even old enough to be married y'know!

[YUP. Guess who has been carefully avoiding Tenten ever since things went back to normal. Apparently he can act like a proper ninja when he wants to. He is finally manning-up to face reality though.]

[Actually he isn't, but he had something else he wanted to ask over the journals, so figured he would just throw that in too.]

...Has anyone seen Sakura-chan?

[Action]

[Since Luceti returned to normal, Naruto hasn't been that sociable. Most of his time has been spent at home aside from the occasional trip out into the woods to train or to check in on people close to him that were not fake wives or family members.

Today though, he can be found behind the counter of Shikamaru's convenience store. He has absolutely no idea what he is doing still and with Shikamaru and Masaomi both away, the fate of Luceti's #1 Store™ had been left to the combined efforts of Korra and Naruto.

~~If it is still standing by the end of the week, it shall be a miracle.~~]

But.. she can't be.

[Though he did have that doubt, ever since he was unable to find her.

Silence.]

She's really gone?

Edited 2013-08-19 02:46 (UTC)

She is. [He says quietly.] Naruto-kun... I would never lie about such a thing.

[HANGING HIS HEAD this is a sad day. To think anyone would actually be sent back, and to that horrid war stuff as well.]

It's not fair. We're all meant to leave together, y'know? [It's all part of his grand plan to Fix Luceti before returning to Fix The War.]

[Ah, the hope of every jamjarred shounen.

Lee's head is hung as well, but he glances towards Naruto and clasps hid shoulder.]

I know. I suppose that... it is a testament to how 'ahead of the class' Sakura-san could be... that she made it back early.

[It's hard to be light-hearted right now. Just knowing that Sakura is out their on the battefield facing those unbelievable dangers. Remembering how many people he knew who had died before being brought back tot his world.]

[He will succeed. Believe it.

He gets the joke, but isn't really in a joking mood right now. After all...]

Yeah, but she's gone back to that. All the war stuff, y'know? And I know we're all still there too, if I understood it right, but it doesn't feel like we are.

[He gives a solemn nod.]

It does not feel that way to myself, either. I... I admit my worries, Naruto-kun. My fears. For her safety. I have already lost... too much. [Neji.]

Maybe there's a way we can bring her back?! Has anyone ever done that before? [It's worrying, especially since none of them know what is going to happen.]

I have never heard of such a feat being performed, Naruto-kun. But if anyone can come up with a way... it must be you!

QUICKLY! Name the first idea which comes to your mind!!!

Uhm...uhm....! [Gah, so much pressure!] I dunno! Can anyone do a people-summoning jutsu?!

I do not know! Do you know anyone with such a skill, Naruto-kun, as well-traveled as you've been?

No, I don't! Do you? Though if there's really something like that, I bet my Dad would know. He knows basically everything. [He does with Naruto-vision anyway]

Edited (WHOOPS) 2013-08-23 02:26 (UTC)

Ah! Your father... the Yondaime-Sama! If anyone can bring anyone back, it's him! We absolutely must consult him on this matter, then.

Yeah, let's go find him. Maybe he can think of something... [But where could he be......]

Of course! Consider this our next mission: We absolutely must find your Hokage father! He will solve every problem.

Right! First we'd better check my house then! [THIS WAY LEE. He's already off.]

Very well then! [And Lee is sprinting as well, eager to overtake Naruto-kun.]

It is now a race

Wh-wait up!

[IT'S ON. Naruto speeds up, doing his best to keep up with Lee and rush down the road towards the Uzumaki House.]

I will show you no mercy, Naruto-kun! Otherwise, how do you expect to become Hokage?

[Dang Lee you used the H-word. It's right, he can't be slacking off he wants that title! Instead he shuts up and speeds up, heading off to the house.

His Dad isn't gonna be there though.]

[Lee is still shouting at the top of the lungs the minute he enters through the window.]

YONDAIME-SAMA! PLEASE, WE ASK TO USE YOUR AWESOME POWER! YOUR SON'S HEART IS BROKEN!

[Naruto runs in to the house and checks the office room before stomping upstairs]

HE'S NOT UP HERE EITHER!

[Lee is tossing around everything in the kitchen.]

HE HAS NOT GONE HOME AS WELL, HAS HE?! OH NO! CAN THIS TRAGEDY EVER END?!

Edited 2013-09-04 21:05 (UTC)

Don't say that!! There's no way Dad's gone home!

[THOUGH WHERE IS HE??]

You must prepare yourself for the possibility! [He says as he rummages through the fridge.] Is there any sign of his presence?!

[LEE YOU ARE NOT HELPING]

No, but I bet he's just.. in town or soemthing! Y'know, shopping! With my Mom! Yeah!
