3rd person pov;

There was an uneasiness in her heart which she didn't liked, not even for once. Sakura wasn't supposed to have this complication in her heart but she couldn't help.

It was true that her love inside her heart for Sasuke wasn't gone, not even a single inch. But when she asked this question to herself that why there was an uneasiness in her heart, she couldn't manage to figure out the answer.

Last night, she did an unexpected thing. She ran away. Yes, she brutally ran away from Naruto's home. Why couldn't she bear the thought that Naruto liked someone else? This was a question to herself too.

Thinking back when they were genins, she clearly remembered that Naruto had a massive crush on her and would do anything to get her attention.

But that flattered away suddenly. Suddenly he stopped doing such things and just behaved normally. Like friends do. He would not nag her anymore, he simply wouldn't want her extra attention.

This sudden change during that time actually relieved her and she thought that finally an idiot like him wouldn't blabber next to her ear. Then he left for his training with Jiraiya.

During that period, she was left all alone by herself and dearly missed her old days with her Sensei and teammates. So, she decided to train under Tsunade and be strong of herself.

Years passed and the final day came when she saw Naruto again. She had expected him to be like a very bright, energetic and idiotic teenager which suited him more. And she expected that he would wear such a bright combination of orange colour which would be blinding.

But in reality he was totally the opposite. He came back mature. He came back with a very good and well built figure and a patience which she never expected, he could manage to hold.

Even his improvements in fighting has grown enough to surprise her. His battle iq is what she would certainly praise and his movements had more Shinobi like features than herself.

His clothing style had changed and he looked quite good in the colour combination that he wears now. Mostly, he was the more kind of a gentleman that she had never expected him to be.

He was still energetic but in a less idiot way or that's what she thought. The Naruto she was seeing right now was different. She had heard Tsunade say it sometimes that probably it was his father's genetic that was in work now.

She had heard that Kushina Uzumaki had the same energy that Naruto had in his genin days. And now with each steps that he takes it reflects Minato Namikaze, his father, aka the fourth Hokage.

Naruto's talking and some action still showed that his mother's genes are still in work but the calmness that his face holds now were surely inherited from his father. In a word, he was a perfect collaboration of Minato and Kushina.

In short words he was cool now, not annoying. Maybe that's what she likes about him now. Yeah, he definitely was cool. She even heard Ino say one day that if he acts like this she would fall for him. Well, half of the girls in Konoha are now in a line for him.

When did this happen? She often asked herself. Naruto had successfully taken Sasuke's part in the village.

Back in the days when he was always nagging behind her, she didn't cared. Now when he acted as a friend which she always wanted, is causing her a problem.

Last night when she moved closer to him, she expected a flushed reaction from him. She wanted him to blush hard as possible for him like old days. But he didn't even showed any reaction except for discomfort. Was she that bad?
