An arduous duty; an arranged marriage with which they have to comply. Will their families come first or will their true desires prevail? SasuSaku. One-shot. Not exactly the plot you expect. Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I do not own the cover either.

Sakura Haruno, or as known as by most, Detective Haruno. Known for her problem solving and bravery, she serves a big role in putting criminals to justice. Whether she stays in the office and thinks cases through, or plays hide and seek with criminals, she always succeeds. When she is given a major and dangerous case to solve, involving countless deaths by one man, it could be the hardest she has ever done. Blood, homicides, and blackmail was to become overlooked, as Sakura is faced with the man who started it all. This amazing and badass cover was made by the beloved @SleepyNinjaa

Naruto left Konoha years ago, and comes back years later. At first, people don't recognize him, which pleases, yet disgusts Naruto. But then, Neji and Hinata come along and recognize him immediately. They all soon find Naruto has become extremely strong, perhaps stronger than Sasuke himself. But what happened to Naruto while he was gone? And what is he so afraid of becoming? -This is a rewrite. If you previously read that one, please forget all about it. This will be a totally different story, and it would be awesome if you didn't mention the last one. Thanks!

Hinata Hyuga, a shy, nerd, athletic junior in high school who likes to keep everything on the down low. Her four best girl-friends, however, are Konoha High School's most popular cheerleaders. Her best boy-friends are Konoha's greatest soccer and basketball players to ever roam the school's halls. One day, a mysterious, intriguing, yet hot bad boy named Naruto Uzumaki transfer to their school. When she has to help the bad boy out, she falls head over heels for him. She finds herself separating Naruto's fights, treating his injuries, hanging out, supporting him through hard times, and controlling his temper. Her father doesn't like her around to be around Naruto. Hinata tries to break their friendship but when Naruto saves her life, she finds it even harder to do so. At the same time, her friends seem to fighting amongst each other. Hinata is ultimately left with a choice: follow her family's orders or stay with the one she loves and mend those closest to her.
