"Hi Shika-" Naruto was surprised. In front of her now. Temari and Shikamaru are kissing.

"SHIKAMARU!!!" The girl shouted in surprise.

<A few hours ago>

Somewhere in the Hidden Leaf City, Naruto came to see her friend Sakura with a sad face. Sakura sighed and took Naruto for a walk in the Hidden Leaf city. In the middle of the walk, Sakura spoke.

"So, are you and Shikamaru fighting again?" but Naruto remained silent.

"I knew it, so both of you must be fighting because of the trivial matter again, isn't it?"

Naruto's face began to turn gloomy as she remembered the moment when she and Shikamaru fought over a trivial matter.

“Sh..shut up okay" the girl was getting gloomy and her mood was not good.

"You two have been dating for a long time. But, is there any progress in your relationship? I mean, are you guys really dating?” Sakura asked carefully.

Naruto was silent for a moment before answering.

"I know that, but because the person I love is Shikamaru.  That's not likely to happen.” Naruto looked down, her face getting gloomy.

"After everything that happened, became his friend since childhood. Now, be his lover... " but Naruto's words were cut off by Sakura.

"So, you're not mad at Shikamaru but you're mad at yourself because you feel that you're unattractive?" Sakura asked and Naruto's cheeks began to flush.

"Yes, I'm not like Ino or Temari. They are beautiful. While me?” Naruto pointed to herself.

"I'm not like them, I‘m tomboy" Naruto continued. Then Sakura stood in front of Naruto and grabbed the girl's shoulders.

"Naruto, Shikamaru loves you. He loves you for who you are. You are so beautiful, cute, and most importantly... You are you. You don't have to be someone else. Only fools who can reject you ”said Sakura enthusiastically and Naruto smiled at that.

"Thank you Sakura, I'm more confident," Naruto said and grabbed her right hand, a sign of encouragement.

But the girl's cheeks flushed again and looked at Sakura.  Sakura felt weird but she kept waiting until the girl in front of her speak.

"Sakura, don't tell anyone about this okay. This is a secret between us.” and Sakura smiled and nodded.

Sakura remembered the day when all their friends and teachers gathered after several months of attacks by Pain. Shikamaru and Naruto became the center of observation, as their hands were tightly linked and Naruto's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. At that moment, Naruto and Shikamaru announced that they were dating.  All of them were very shocked.  Because the two are very different.

But when she thought back. About Shikamaru's attitude to Naruto.. he also helping Naruto with all his might, and when Asuma died. Shikamaru kissed Naruto in front of all teams 7 and 10, whispering in the girl's ear to not to leave him. It is very clear. Shikamaru loves Uzumaki Naruto.

Sakura prayed that the girl would be happy with Shikamaru. Naruto had sacrificed too much for her and also for the Hidden Leaf, especially when they were still trying to bring Sasuke back.

****

Naruto decided to apologize for her attitude towards Shikamaru. Because Shikamaru was assigned to be Suna's ambassador so at each arrival of Temari as well as Gaara and Kankuro. Shikamaru will be there. Honestly, Naruto was a little bit jealous of Temari. She knew that Temari also liked Shikamaru, so Naruto didn't like Temari very much. Naruto knew, Temari also felt the same way because every time she came to meet Shikamaru, surely Temari would look at her sharply and of course be reciprocated with a sharp jab by Naruto.
