Yo.
I'm not sure if I'm ever going to write a fic, or continue this one, because I procrastinate a lot, and ideas don't come to me easily. >__<
This is just a sample of my writing, to see some response...I hope it's not too small. For me, it's simpler to look at small parts than huge/long paragraphs.
Setting: Probably chapters ahead in the manga, the war is going on, and Sasu/Naru are about to face-off.
I'm not a writer...this is an attempt. >__> "

It seemed as though the great forest had cast a storm to ensnare the silent intruder. The sky was blackening, the clouds were thickening, and not a creature was in sight. Save for the lonely figure, leaping from branch to branch, with urgent speed. The roaring wind brushed against the person, rippling through vivid pink hair, but it did not wipe off the determination that was etched into the young woman’s face.
Naruto, she thought. I know you told me to stay back, but...
All of a sudden, a pair of pale green eyes filled with water, and a tear streaked across her cheek. With a heavy thud, and a rustle of leaves, she stopped abruptly on a branch, to wipe her eyes and gain her composure. Her hands were trembling, and her eyes were closed tightly as she was remembering the last moments she shared with her friend.
It felt like days, instead of mere hours, of when she had last talked to Naruto...
"S-Sakura-chan?"
I must have looked extremely shocked, because he looked at me with concern. Well, I had the right to. I had overheard that Naruto had learned to harness the Kyuubi's chakra, but little did I think it would change his physical appearance. His body was surrounded by thick, fiery yellow aura, that seemed to glow with pride, and there were black, faded lines over his form that seemed to accentuate the look.
I shook my head and smiled.
"It's nothing Naruto. You look...stronger."
With that he grinned, making the tent in which we stood a great deal less miserable, even with all the sick and injured shinobi.
"Na, na, of course I'm strong!" He gave a thumbs up and grinned. "Thanks to my new strength, and Bee's help, we were able to destroy all the ugly Zetsus in the area!"
With that, he turned to the tall black man beside him (He must be Kumo's Hachibi?) and they smacked their fists together. Slowly, the yellow aura began to dissipate, and Naruto looked like himself again. But he looked unnaturally serious.
"Listen, Sakura-chan. I'm going to end this war. I'm going to find Madara. I can't," He clenched his fists, "I can't let everyone fight and risk their lives for me."
I frowned.
“No!" I protested, "Naruto, We were fighting this war to prevent Madara from capturing you. We can't afford to give him to you. You can't go! I'll-I'll stop you-"
My fists began to warm as I gathered chakra within them.
"No," He said softly. "I know I'm the one to stop Madara. And Sakura-chan, you have to stay here and tend to the injured. Please, trust me."
"No, Naruto, you - "
"Sakura-san?" A high, timid voice.
The inhabitants of the tent all stared at the entrance, where the sound had come from. A tiny head was meekly peeping into the tent, covered with long, dark purple hair.
"Hinata-sama?" I said, surprised.
Hinata gave a tiny nod, and walked into the tent, stopping infront of me.
"Sakura-san, I think we should give N-N-Naruto-kun a chance."
I curled my lip. "And if he blows it? There are no second chances."
She put my fists into her hands. I stopped gathering chakra.
"We have to believe in him. I know he can do it." She smiled confidently.
I looked back at Naruto, who beamed at me. I took in a breath. And made my decision.
"Naruto, you have to come back."
He cracked a grin.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan, that's one promise I can't break!" He turned to Hinata and thanked her, making her face redden.
"Bee," Naruto stated, "I need to go on, alone now." The man gave a single nod. With that, Naruto took on his bright yellow form, and left the tent. Not too soon, 'Bee' had left as well. Hinata had taken her hands back.
"Don't worry, Sakura-san." She smiled sweetly, and vanished like the other two.
I was left alone. With my injured patients. Slowly, I took a kunai from my pocket.
"Naruto, it's not that I don't believe in you..." I whispered to myself...
She began to move again, from branch to branch, faster than before. As she leaped, she gazed at the kunai in her hands. She knew that Madara was not the only person Naruto will confront.
So she had left her duty, her faith, and her injured comrades, in place for her feelings, her doubts, and her friends.
Last time, I aimed to kill, she thought. This time, I aim to protect.
I will not go down in history as the kuniochi who let her friends scar each other!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was all I could think of so far. xd
PS, I'm not a Sakura fan, it's just easy to start with her, since she's always emotional and confused...easy to get into character. (@ least I hope.)
