The team of four were still left shocked by all the information Madara unloaded on them, the team leader decided to speak his mind.
Kakashi: (Looks at Taiyo and Naruto) We can't have this information leak to anyone, not until we found more about this
Yamato: Good idea
Taiyo: Naruto, use Sage Mode to locate Sasuke, I'll use my chakra sensing
Naruto: Right! (He gets into the lotus position)
Taiyo closes his eyes and starts to feel chakra all around him and tries to locate his long-lost brother, he was so into it that he didn't realize how much time passed and that Naruto poked him on the shoulder.
Taiyo: (Opens his eyes) What's up?
Naruto: (Points to the group) Sakura and our friends are here
Taiyo looks down and it is indeed true that Sakura, Lee, Sai, and Kiba showed up, Taiyo and Naruto jumped down to see what they wanted. Sakura, seeing them in front of her, spoke about what she wanted to say.
Naruto: (Confused) Huh?
Taiyo: (Real confused) What the hell?!
Everyone else around them were equally shocked and confused by what Sakura said.
Naruto: Could you repeat yourself, Sakura. I don't think I caught what you said
Sakura: (Blushes) I guess....what I said was, I love you Naruto. (Looks at both Taiyo and Naruto) And you two must know, Sasuke doesn't mean anything to me anymore
Taiyo and Naruto's expressions started to change because they both knew something was very wrong.
Taiyo: (Frowning) Why tell him now, when all of this is happening?
Naruto: Yeah, if this is supposed be a joke, it isn't funny at all Sakura! What the hell happened?!
Sakura: (Giggles) Nothing happened, I just woke up I guess. I can't continue to love a rogue shinobi, a criminal even. It's very true that the old me loved Sasuke, will you two stop chasing Sasuke, he's not coming back to us
Yamato: (Tries to intervene) What is going on?!
Kakashi stops the brown haired man from interrupting this crucial moment. Sakura starts to move towards Taiyo and Naruto, she wraps them both in a hug.
Sakura: You two have become more important to me than Sasuke has, especially you Naruto. I truly, deeply lov-
Taiyo: (Pushes her back) You can stop right there!
Naruto: Yeah, quit it Sakura!
Sakura: Why are you both being like this?!
Taiyo: You're not telling us the truth! How can you just stop loving Sasuke?! (Realizes) Oh I get it, this is about our promise to you two years ago? You need to understand that we want to save Sasuke because he's our brother, your promise has been put in the back of our heads and when we save him, we'll bring him back to you!
Naruto: If there's anyone I hate more, it's people who lie to themselves so just stop doing it!
Sakura: (Grows angry) You know what fine, you two can just stay here for all I care! I'll save Sasuke on my own!
Naruto: Sakura, you can't! He's probably gotten so much stronger since the last time we saw him!
Sakura: I don't care! Kiba, Lee, Sai, let's go now!
Team: Right!
Sakura: (Crying "Taiyo, Naruto, I'm so sorry")
Taiyo: (Turns to Naruto) What the hell was all that about?
Naruto: I don't know, but I don't like it one bit
???: I can tell you why
The four look over to see Sai approaching them.
Kakashi: You're a clone, aren't you?
Sai: Yes. I wanted to give you the message Sakura couldn't give you
Taiyo: Give us info, Sai
Sai: What Sakura told you was a lie
Taiyo: Knew it!
Sai: She wants you two to stop chasing Sasuke because she is worried about you both, the Akatsuki wants you two and since Sasuke is apart of them, he'll probably try to kill you both. I apologize for all of this is my fault, if I hadn't told Sakura about Naruto getting beat up, then she wouldn't have come all the way out here to find you. Now I will tell you the real plan, you see all of our friends want to kill Sasuke, Sakura wanted to stop you two in order for her to execute Sasuke without you two knowing
Taiyo: What?! Is she insane?!
Naruto: She can't, she loves Sasuke so much!
Sai: Sakura herself said she wasn't a child anymore and she knows Sasuke will plunge the world into darkness, if he's not stopped. She also sees that her promise and Sasuke himself, are causing you two nothing but pain and suffering
Taiyo: That's not true, we can still reach him!
Naruto: We're gonna save him no matter what!
Sai: (Starts to leak ink) We shall see (he completely becomes ink and evaporates away)
Taiyo and Naruto were angry and sad that saving Sasuke could be ruined by the rest of their friends, they soon notice Gaara and his siblings approaching.
Taiyo: Gaara, what are you doing?
Gaara: I came to inform you all about the Five Kage Summit's results. You see Madara Uchiha invaded with Sasuke Uchiha and declared war on all Five Great Nations
Team: Huh? No way!
Gaara: The solution to that is to form the Allied Shinobi Forces, in which all Five Great Nations work together to fight against Madara Uchiha. (Looks at Kakashi) You have been promoted to be Hokage because of what Danzo had done during the summit and his battle with Sasuke Uchiha
Kakashi: (Sighs) This is becoming a long day, I guess it would be best to return to the village and relay the news of war to the everyone
Gaara: (Looks at Taiyo and Naruto) I know you two don't want to fight Sasuke, trust me I didn't want to either, but you must ask yourselves, what would the greatest Hero and Hokage do? (They stay silent) I know you both hate this, but you both changed me for the better and I consider you two as my best friends
Taiyo smiles slightly from what Gaara said, but still didn't like the circumstances.
Gaara: "Friend", think about that word and decide what to do about Sasuke. (Starts to walk away) I don't want you two to die, but I also don't want you two to lose hope. I must go now, farewell my friends (he jumps away with his siblings)
Taiyo: (Looks at Kakashi) So now what?
Kakashi: We have to return to the Leaf
The two soon heard rapid breathing and looked at Naruto hyperventilating.
Taiyo: (Runs to Naruto) Hey man, calm down! I know how bad this is believe me, it hurts me too! Don't you dare fall asleep man!
Taiyo holds Naruto as the blonde breathing slows down and he falls unconscious.
Taiyo: (Shaking) DAMN IT ALL! (He screams up to the heavens)
Kakashi: (Puts his hand on his boy's shoulder) Calm down kid, it's gonna be alright
Taiyo: (Tears up) How can it be alright?! One of my friends is passed out on me, one of my friends has become a criminal and is wreaking havoc, and the rest of my friends want to kill him! TELL ME HOW IT CAN BE ALRIGHT!?
Kakashi wasn't fazed by his son's outburst and wrapped him into a tight hug, Taiyo starts to cry hard.
Kakashi: I don't know kid, I just don't know
Hey everyone I hope you enjoyed the chapter
