Impenetrable {Naruto Fan-Fic}

Diverging Paths

Yuyan's POV

"Soooo, you're off to train with Jiraiya now?"

"Yeah! I'm gonna get strong for sure! And we'll get Sasuke back, I swear Yu-chan! Sakura!" I gave him a smile and nodded, "definitely!"

"I'll be of use to you guys now! Just watch me!" Sakura stated assuredly.

"It's about time we get going, don't you think?" Jiraiya patted Naruto on the back.

"Oh! Sorry Ero-sennin! Well then," he looked at both Sakura and me and gave us a sort of sad smile, "I'll see you guys around!"

Sakura and I waved Naruto off and watched until we could only make out the silhouette of an orange jumpsuit and white long hair standing side to side. "So Sakura, what are you gonna do?"

"I've asked Tsunade-sama to train me!" she seemed quite excited, I was pretty happy to see that she would be doing something for the time being, I knew with Tsunade's guidance, Sakura had potential to become much more.

"What about you?"

I wondered for a moment, "I don't know actually, I haven't put any thought into it." I really haven't, honestly I've been just a little sad lately.

"You should get over it for now," Sakura tried to sound actually considerate, but it just sounded sort of rude, "it's not like you to sulk around for something like this."

I just sighed, "yeah..."

"Well, I actually start training today, so I'll catch you later!" Sakura started walking away, but stopped in her path and ran back to me. "I-I know we've had our differences, and I'm sorry for that, I still consider you my friend, so I want you to become stronger, I know you can handle this Yuyan." Now she really left towards the medical center.

I decided to just take a walk around Konoha and ended up in the graveyard to visit the third Hokage. I set down some flowers and of course, paid my respects. "What am I gonna do?" I sighed and laid down next to the grave looking at the sky. The sunny sky reminded me of the conversation I had with Sasuke and it just made me a little sad.

Maybe I had a right to be mad though, he goes in a date with me then leaves the next day? I sighed again, I shouldn't be worrying about this. While watching the sky, I drifted off into a small nap.

"So, now do you have an answer?" a familiar raspy voice of a man asked.

"An answer?" I questioned.

"Precisely young Hane. What is your answer now?"  the man came closer and put his hand on my shoulder, giving me a warm, nostalgic smile.

"I-I don't really know what you mean. An answer for what?" I quirked my eyebrow at him.

The man laughed, "oh don't tell me you forgot! What is it you want?"

"What I want? Well...I don't know anymore."

"Don't you remember what you said to me the first time?"  I thought back a little, but I couldn't seem to recall anything, or any answer I had given to him. Not remembering, I started to question and doubt myself a bit.
