sorry
Naruto needed to be killed in order for the Akatsuki to rule the world. Sakura and Kakashi turned their backs against Naruto and killed him. Unknowingly, they didn’t manage to kill him. Sasuke Uchiha found and saved him, Naruto heals, and they find revenge to destroy Sakura, Kakashi and the Akatsuki. (Itachi is really evil in this because I can)
So Sasuke, who was fifteen and in a rogue hunt for his brother, along with helping to rebuild Konoha (so he is friends with Choji, Shikamaru, the works. Oh! And a hint of Choji/Shikamaru because they are kinda cute)(Shikamaru is the temporary Hokage because I can), which was in ruins (because of the Akatsuki. Jiraiya and Tsunade, the legendary Sannins, died in battle to protect Konoha and it’s people [Itachi went rogue and destroyed almost all of Konoha]), found Naruto in a rather secluded part of Konoha.
The Jinchuriki, who has been missing for two weeks, was finally found. Sasuke knew who did this, and gritted his teeth, and swore to find revenge. He brought the blond to his house, keeping his existence a secret (only Shikamaru knows, and maybe Choji, the second Hokage Advisor) so the Akatsuki and the duo won’t hunt him. Along the way, they fell in love (lol).
After the dobe was healed, they trained vigorously and began the hunt of the Akatsuki. In their first battle, they caught a glimpse of Kakashi and Sakura. The two, however, didn’t see Naruto just yet, although Sakura swore she saw a glimpse of a blond figure. Confrontation ensues. Naruto was confused that the two avoided having a fight with them. Sasuke was pissed. He aimed for the kill towards Sakura’s heart, but she was saved in the nick of time (by Kakashi, that damn guy). Both of them ran towards safety. Sasuke was frustrated, and killed Deidara as a result of his overpowered anger (i am so sorry Deidara my love).
A month. Two months. They hunted the Akatsuki and killed them. Only some. Hidan, Kakuzu. Sasori, Yahiko (the orange haired dude). The non threatening ones. They barely managed to escape Konan, with bruises and scratches everywhere.
Then, they received an urgent owl (lol) from Maito Gai and Rock Lee. This was obviously perplexing since it didn’t have any details for any missions. Note that both of them don't know Naruto was still alive, so it was only addressed to Sasuke Uchiha (he was the Hokage’s right hand man, so Sasuke was pretty important). Both of them went to their secret hideout. (make it into Kakashi/Sakura’s pov that they were found by the green duo, and a bit of their thoughts and ‘adventures’ before that)(“Was Naruto alive? Or was he really dead?” -Sakura)(“Naruto, I am sorry, but it has to be done. For all of our sakes.” -Kakashi)
The truth shocked them both. Gai and Lee were keeping Sakura and Kakashi away from everybody (from the Hokage, even Neji and Tenten didn’t know). Sasuke growled, and demanded an explanation, but not without his Chidori on hand. Naruto appeared out of his hiding spot, demanding him to stop but looking utterly betrayed. And confused. Another shocking thing. It is really one thing after another.
Sakura begged for forgiveness, tears streaming down her face. They explained that killing Naruto was part of an act, they had to ‘kill’ him in order to ‘become’ and Akatsuki to spy for them on the inside, since outside resistance did not seem to be working at all. They knew Sasuke was going to be ballistic to find Naruto in that state, since Naruto was one of the few people he cared about, only fueling his hatred and anger more to go on a killing rampage and maybe, finally being able to kill the Akatsuki members.
Naruto was just a bait, and Sakura and Kakashi knew he was strong enough to endure the pain of the wounds, since he had Kyuubi (and because Sakura didn’t really aim to kill him at all, she just made it look like it). In order to bring down the dark, they themselves have to be darkness. Betrayal and breaking of trust is common.
Naruto forgave them immediately and was even fine with chatting with them again. Sasuke however, was still hostile and only briefly spoke to Gai and Lee, and well, a lot with Naruto. He only spoke with Sakura and Kakashi occasionally, with brief chipped words only. (Naruto, how could you be so trusting? -Sasuke, their first night)
The four noticed a difference in Sasuke’s treatment towards Naruto. How his voice went a tad bit softer when he spoke to Naru. Or his eyes. Or the daggers he sent towards Sakura when she spoke a little too friendly towards Naruto, even though it was clear that she and Lee were a thing (their laced hands in dinner). How his eyes smiled when he was with Naruto, and he actually smiled, only for Naruto. (put that in Sakura and Kkashi’s pov) Light hearted but quite hostile moments. Naruto, as usual, showered affection towards everyone. It made him slightly jealous (lol)
Sasuke also realised something between Kakashi and Gai. Gai was all enthusiastic and stuff but he would go all soft on Kakashi, like extra soft. And Kakashi, as hard as it is for him to admit, only opened up and was most vulnerable in front of Gai only. That could be a topic of conversation between Sakura and Sasuke, since Naruto was as dense as a brick and Lee would go all worshipping and crying.
Lee and Naruto, however, would make an awesome, crackhead duo. (when Neji and Tenten finds out at the end of it all, Neji looks embarrassed at first, but in the end shrugged and was quite impressed and pleased [if not weirded out by the whole idea lol] and TenTen threatened Kakashi to not hurt Gai or she will break his neck herself)
Kakashi was filled with immense guilt for putting his students in such a state, (put in Kakashi’s pov) and he barely opened up except towards Gai (and that took a while), but you know, Gai…
And well, Sasuke accepted Sakura first, then Kakashi. Gai was the one who insisted Kakashi not to just mope around, act like an adult and actually apologized in a civil manner. He actually did. Sasuke was stiff, but his treatment towards Kakashi was better than before. (a few days before, Naruto asked, curious but slightly angry, “Why can’t you just forgive them? It’s like they tried to kill you, you know!” and Sasuke says, “Because the thought of me losing you is the worst thing imaginable! I don’t know if I can even breathe without you, Naruto!” Silence. “Did I just heard a love confession come out from you?” “Shut up, usuratonkachi.”)
Okay, safe haven is over! Honestly, can I not put the super strong ones because I don’t know how the fight in Naruto works with Madara and Obito and Minato and stuff. So I am just gonna put Orochimaru, Kisame and Itachi as the main main bad guys. So, yah. Gai opened all his gates and he almost died. Kakashi was worried sick and threw up. Cried. A lot. Man tears tho.
Lee finally got to show his skills that were not been able to be shown in the war and beat Kisame’s ass especially, also with Taijutsu and the gates. Gai finally got to fight with Itachi and will win, (and beat Itachi’s genjutsu with the gates? Idk how man but that bastard will die!) coz he literally trained all his life for ‘anti-sharingan’, since Kakashi was his rival.
Itachi will have the finishing blow by Sasuke, who finally kills him. Orochimaru will be killed by Naruto’s super powers. Sakura will unleash her badassness towards Kisame and Orochimaru (too, her and Naruto will get a badass personal one with him for making Itachi go to the dark path and almost ruining Sasuke to go to the dark path)
Egh, confusing plot. But whatever. The bad guys die. They go back to Konoha. Safe. Naruto achieved his dream to become Hokage (“Ah, becoming Hokage was such a drag anyways” but Shikamaru was secretly sad because he loved the village a lot too), but before that, the media frenzy! Uzumaki Naruto, actually alive and defeated the Akatsuki members?? And Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha, a couple? Lol. Funny prospect.
And well, Gai and Lee were questioned. Of course, for ‘conspiring’ with ‘rogue’ ninjas. But well, they were off the hook with six months of community service and no A or S Rank missions, which were fine for all of them because the green duo just loves to help (not for Neji and Tenten, who demanded a freaking explanation asap!!).
Kakashi and Sakura weren’t allowed missions for a whole year. Well, sucks, but at least the village was saved and they got to be with their friends. Besides, Sakura is pursuing more into medicine now, and Kakashi just wants to unwind from the world's troubles.
Oh! Sakura and Lee got married! Yeah, super young, but whatever (17?? yoooo). Kakashi was finally not a coward and finally ‘accepted’ (he did a long time ago but haha well, Kakashi is friggin complicated you know) Gai, they move in together, steamy stuff (lol). Well, Gai lost one leg (coz I can!!) and well…
Everyone is happy :)))
(i wanna put a cameo on how iruka, kakashi and gai are friends? Weird, but iruka is naruto’s guardian, kakashi as sasuke’s guardian and gai could act as sakura’s guardian because she has gotten really close to lee, and thus, to gai too :)) ) (and the two jounin would tease him with whatever guy or girl he ends up with ;p)
