"What happened?" Sakura asked Naruto who was in a daze for a while.
Sakura's words finally recovered Naruto from his dazed state. Looking at Sakura's blushing face he figured out that this was the exact moment when he had got the system'message.
Naruto felt a relief seeing that he successfully came back to the past. Not wanting to keep Sakura waiting for his answer he soon said as he gently moved his hand along her face "Nothing, I just remembered that you're still hospitalised." Naruto said and gently kissed her forehead before continuing "Let's wait for a bit longer so that we both can act wild."
Sakura blushed hearing him and nodded her head. "I'll make sure not to disappoint you. Get well soon Sakura." Naruto once again kissed her forehead making Sakura's already red face even redder. He soon bid her goodbye and Sakura did the same though the reluctance could be clearly seen in her eyes.
Coming out of the room Naruto heaved a sigh of relief and started walking back towards his house. On the way back Naruto was lost in his thoughts. He was happy that things changed for the better and he no longer needed live with the guilt of doing such an act with Ino and most importantly Ino would live a happy life.
"Naruto! Wait!" Naruto was disturbed from his thoughts by a voice he was very familiar with. He turned back and saw Ino running towards him.
Naruto at first felt nervous but he soon calmed down. Ino soon reached Naruto and asked "So? How did it go? How's Sakura doing?"
"Well, she was worried because she got a scar on her nose from the fight and was hiding her face." Naruto said as he paused.
"Scar? I feel bad for her. If it was me I might have done the same...you said 'was' so she's fine now?" Ino said.
"Yes, she's all well now and is in good health." Naruto said.
"Oh? Damn, I didn't know that you were so capable Naruto." Ino teasingly said as she elbowed him.
Naruto just smiled at her. "Alright I'll go rest after closing the shop." Ino said and bid her goodbye as she turned around to go back to the shop.
"Ino!" Naruto called out Ino after thinking about it for a few seconds.
"Hmm?" Ino turned around in confusion.
"I'm sorry." Naruto said with a guilty face.
"For what?" Ino asked getting more confused.
Naruto smiled at her with sadness clearly written on his face and without waiting for Ino he disappeared from there.
Ino felt confused but she could feel that Naruto was genuinely sad for some reason so she decided to ask him about this later.
Even though he had come to the past Naruto couldn't help but feel guilty about what he did. With his depressed mood he reached home and fell on his bed. At first he wasn't tired but his eyes slowly grew heavy as he fell asleep.
His hunger made him get up late at night and after filling himself with cup noodles he again went to sleep. In the morning he opened his eyes but didn't felt like doing anything so he remained their on the bed with his eyes open.
He was suddenly disturbed by the clicking of his door knob as he saw a figure sneakily entering his house. When Tenten noticed that Naruto was staring right at her she couldn't help but make a funny expression as she said "Oops, was it too loud."
Naruto's figure suddenly disappeared from his bed as he was now tightly hugging Tenten. Tenten was took in by surprise from Naruto's reaction but she soon smiled and patted his back as she said "Did you miss me that much?"
"Yes...yes I did" Naruto said his eyes were working hard to suppress his tears but one could see a smile on his face as he hugged Tenten's petite body.
