Age:18

"Naruto, you graduated!" Jiraiya cheered, hugging his grandson, smiling wildly. "I guess I owe you Ichiraku Ramen!" Jiraiya smiled, Naruto stood shocked, pushing his glasses up.

"We're going back to Konoha?" He gasped, his eyes widening, tearing up. His white gown flapped as he jumped up and down, cheering wildly. "I'm finally going to see Sasuke again!" He teared up as he looked around the room, he seen people looking in his direction, a boy with red hair-Gaara, a cute red headed boy, Naruto stared into the boys eyes with a small blush.

Suddenly he began walking over. "Gaara, c-
congratulations!" Naruto smiled, his hands crossing behind his head as a big bright smile plastered his face, Gaara turned red as he looked at the glowing boy.

"Thank you Naruto. Congratulations to you as well." He half smiled, Lee watched from across the room, jealously in his blood, he stayed put as he watched them hug and go their separate ways.

Naruto headed back to Jiraiya and they headed back to the house to pack their things to head home for a while.

"Sasuke! You graduated!" Sakura cheered, kissing her boyfriend's cheek, he gave her a half smile, "I'm so proud of you." She pushed his hair from his face lightly and smiled, a small click was heard and Sakura's mother had snapped a photo, Itachi rolled his eyes.

"Sasuke, we're going on a double date with Sai and Ino! Aren't you excited?" The raven haired boy nodded his head a smile on his lips. He kissed her temple lightly and then headed away from them towards his brother and left.

"You shouldn't string her along Sasuke!" Itachi yelled, dragging his brother to the car by his ear, "Why do you always mess things up Sasuke? Can't you just grow up!?" After the pair where seated in the car Sasuke sighed and rubbed his ear.

"You don't have to be so mean y'know." Sasuke huffed looking out the window.

"What do you expect! You don't like that Sakura girl at all!" Itachi huffed as he drove back to the compound.

"I do. I love her Itachi!" He yelled, puffing out his cheeks, "I wouldn't date her if I didn't!"

With that, the conversation ended and the car was filled with music from the radio and an awkward silence.

Ever since Naruto stopped writing he started getting worse. His relationship with Sakura had been going for around a year. Itachi knew his brother felt something for the pinkette but not enough.

Naruto was staring out of the window excitedly, his face pressed against the glass as he looked around the main streets of Konoha. Jiraiya was smiling beside him, happy to see the boy so full of life.

"How long are we here?" Naruto questioned as he turned to his Grandpa.

"I have a few people to see and a few things to do, we should be here at most a month." He nodded and pulled to a stop outside his family home. "Grandpa, is this..." he silently turned his head to his nodding elder, he rushed to his home, fast as he could and looked inside.

The place has been cleaned recently, but the photos, strangely there had been new one's placed about. The table and chairs the same, the whole home, it was just like he remembered. Falling to his knees be cried. And cried.

"N-Naruto!" A girl yelled from the door.
