Chapter 60

It was like a God stepped onto the Earth. The street became altogether quiet.

Sakura was sitting chatting with Haku in a restaurant. It has already been a month and half since Sasuke went away. During this time she's been closer than before with Haku.

Also she's been training even harder than before. Ever since Sasuke left she's placed all her attention in the library and in strengthening herself. Battling with Haku frequently.

Taking a bit of the sweet dango. Sakura chewed it in a slow manner. Her eyes in a downcast, recalling how Sasuke would make these for her himself.

The taste of them which is incomparable. Food will never be totally alike. Because they can always embody our emotions that we attach to them. Especially the ones made by someone we deeply love.

"Who is this man?" There is almost like a wonderful light shining from Sasuke's body.

"I'm at peace finally. His charisma touches my heart." This young revealing lady's nose started flowing out blood.

"So good looking!" The girls gather around to ogle.

"If you will excuse me ladies," Sasuke said in a polite manner. Walking through the crowd of people that's gathered around.

"This voice! There's no doubt it's him." both Haku and Sakura stopped their eating. Standing up from the table they pushed their way through the crowd.

While walking Sasuke heard two voices calling out his name. Turning his head to look he see two familiar face. "Haku! Sakura!" Sasuke embraced the both of them. "I miss you both so much."

"You look a lot different than before Sasuke-kun," Haku said. Touching his soft cheeks. "I almost couldn't recognize you."

"For some reason you seem more manly thanlast time," Sakura's cheeks turned rosy colored. Then her eyes diverted to the girl following behind Sasuke. "Who's she?"

"Nice to meet you I'm Karin Uzumaki," Karin extended her hand out. She could almost feel like being stared down by this cute girl in front of her. 'Is she feeling intimidated by my relationship with Sasuke?'

There came an akward silence as Sakura refuses to shake her hand. Sensing the strangeness of the situation Haku chose to take a step forward.

Giving a warm hug to Karin, which surprised her. "Nice to meet you too Karin-san. I'm Haku," Karin felt a sense of warmth from the hug. She didn't expect a girl of Sasuke to receive her so openly. "I hope we can become good friends."

"I hope so too," Karin smiled happily.

"I'm sorry I'm being so rude. I'm Sakura, it's nice to meet you Karin-chan," Sakura smiled taking hold of her hand.

The diner this night was more happier than usual. With the addition of Karin, it's like the kitchen has became a party.

Sasuke could only watch them enjoying themselves. He couldn't really know how to join into their girl talk.

[VIP]: With three girls. Now my home has really became more crowded than before.

[Issei Hyoudou]: You're going to be fine Boss, in a couple days you'll get used to being in a harem haha.

[Jiraiya]: Boss I'm honestly jealous of you. These days I had lost my life's passion o(╥﹏╥)o

[Rock Lee]: Is something wrong Jiraiya senpai? Is the shinobi war starting or something?

[Jiraiya]: Sigh. Not at all. In my world the old geezer just abdicated his position.

[Eikichi Onizuka]: No way! What happened?

[Jiraiya]: A couple days ago the geezer promoted me to becoming the Third Hokage. Now I'm a housewife and a hokage. My life has became a tragedy.

[Toritsuka Reita]: That is a little disappointing Senpai. Being tied down by that tigress Tsunade haha.

[Jiraiya]: Sigh. The worst part is our night's of passion has sprouted a bud. There goes my bachelor life o(╥﹏╥)o

[VIP]: I don't really know whether to congratulate you or feel sorry for you Jiraiya.

[Toritsuka Reita]: Though it isn't any better on my side. I have to deal with Kokomi's perverted idol brother. Sigh

[Rock Lee]: Looks like is kind of difficult for everyone for the moment.

"Hey Sasuke-kun it's time to eat," Sakura said. Putting the last dish on the table.

"Wonderful as usual. It looks even more delicious than before," Sasuke complimented.

"You have to thank Karin-san," Haku said smiling. "She's a really great cook."

"Here taste this. Karin-chan cooked the drumsticks today," Sakura placed a drumstick into Sasuke's bowl.

"Thank you," said Sasuke. Picking up the drumstick with a fork. Biting into the flavorful meat, "Wow this is actually really good!"

The girls smiled hearing Sasuke's compliment. There was a peaceful happiness to the dinner that night.

…

Following three months has quickly passed by with the flash of an eye.

During this period Naruto went away with Jiraiya determined to become stronger. So one day he could stand shoulder to shoulder with his best-friend.

Meanwhile Sakura also started training with Tsunade. Sasuke could see with his eyes the rapid speed from which she learns.

Tsunade was reading through some materials in her office when she heard a knocking on the door. "Enter," she told while continuing leafing through the paper.

She was surprised to see that it was Sasuke. Coming through the door Sasuke bowed in respect. "Hello Fifth Hokage."

"What can I do for you today," Tsunade asked. With her other hand picking up a teacup. Sipping a little of the tea.

"The reason for my visit today is that I want to quit my post," Sasuke said.

Tsunade stopped her drinking. Putting down the tea cup on the table slowly. "You're saying you don't want to be a ninja anymore?"

"Yes that's correct. Being a shinobi is not fit for me," Sasuke said with honesty.

"Have you thought over this decision," Tsunade asked with care.

"Yes."

"Okay. I accept your resignation," Tsunade said.

"Thank you," Sasuke said bowing, "Also I would like to ask for your permission to buy these few shops."

Putting a dozen ripped pieces of paper in front of her desk. These are property sale papers for vacant buildings.
