The girl with Pink Hair

Chapter Thirty Six

After two weeks Tsunade allowed the returned shinobi who were freed by Sakura from the deadly Reapers control to be discharged from the leaf village hospital. Naruto was standing beside a blushing Hinata who was staring at her feet, Naruto flashed another grin when the two noticed Hinata's mother and father had entered the hospital's lobby to collect their daughter.

It pained Carver and Raiden to see Kakashi, Hinata, and TenTen not remember who the knew leaf shinobi were. It saddened Naruto to stand back watch this and it hurt him even more as Hinata woke up not knowing she was in a loving relationship. Naruto lived a year without Hinata in his life, he refused to go another moment longer and even though Hinata couldn't remember Naruto and their relationship, Hinata had loved him since they were kids...Naruto had a date with her tomorrow. Naruto was blessed with this ease while Sakura was not. 

Kakashi had no memory of being with Sakura and was shocked to say the least when shown evidence of being with his student who he believed to be dead. Kakashi had three years missing from his memory, he accepted the fact Sakura Haruno was alive and well and he even accepted what people told him about their relationship. Naruto and Raiden were excited for a moment, they believed things could return to normal until Carver questioned Kakashi who held a stern face who then went on to explain that Kakashi did not believe a sensei being with a student was appropriate. 

Naruto let out a light sigh as he turned away from his thoughts. Sakura left the leaf village with her two commanders without so much as a word to anyone, not even to Carver or Raiden. If Hinata woke up, couldn't remember being in love with Naruto and refused to be with him afterwards he didn't think he could remain around her, on some level Naruto understood Sakura leaving the way she did. It must have hurt deeply seeing Kakashi return but at the same time it wasn't the man she loved that came back with him.

Naruto hugged Hinata before she walked out of the hospital with her parents. Speaking of parents, Naruto's were going to be staying with him until they were on their feet. He had dashed home and cleaned up, he smiled seeing his mother and father were thanking Dr. Yu for taking such good care of them.

"Are you ready!?" Naruto grinned.

"Of course!" Kushina smiled back at her son as she took his out reached hand. Minato laughed as he followed his wife and son out of the lobby into the streets of the leaf village.

"Crazy." Kakashi laughed to himself, it was so strange to see his sensei alive and moving through the streets once more.

"You can say that again." Tsunade agreed with a nod, "Are you..."

"I am alright." Kakashi waved.

"Let's go!" Raiden said wanting to get out of this place. Since Kakashi's apartment was now Ino's apartment and Kakashi had no belongings, he had no place to go. Raiden and Carver were going to take him in until he figured out what to do. "Oh, I know you should cook tonight!" Raiden spun around laughing.

"Huh?"

"You used to cook a lot for us!" Raiden said walking beside Kakashi with Carver as they entered the apartment building. 

"Really?"

"Yes." Raiden grinned. "You said cooking was a hobby, and since we can't cook to save our lives you should!"

"Alright." Kakashi smiled with a closed eye, in the past two weeks he had grown fond of these two. "Just let me know what you would like."

"Yes!" Raiden cheered as Carver laughed along with Kakashi.

"I wondered where all your things went." Carver thought out of the blue.

"Hm?" Kakashi turned his head.
