"You're sure there were no traces of chakra?" Shikamaru asked Yumi, the head of the Konoha Investigation Team.

"No," Yumi replied, "the only thing in the room, when we checked it, was the cart that Sasuke's body was on."

"And that was checked too?"

"Yes. There were no traces of blood, hair, or dust; and that also goes for the entire room. It was like Sasuke wasn't even in the vault in the first place."

"Hmm…and that's all you have so far?"

"Yes. I'm sorry to not have been very helpful." Yumi looked very disappointed.

"No, you've been a great help. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to do some more stuff for Lady Tsunade." Shikamaru left the building to go look for Naruto.

First Shikamaru went to Ichiraku's. He asked Ayame if she had seen Naruto, and she said the last time she saw him it looked like he was going to his apartment. So next Shikamaru went to Naruto's apartment and saw him locking up.

"Hey, Naruto!" Shikamaru called.

"Oh, Shikamaru," Naruto said. "Funny, I was just going to go see you."

"Really? Because Tsunade told me to come see you, and make sure you weren't searching for Sasuke."

"Well, no I'm not."

"Good. So why were you going to come see me anyway?"

"I need some…advice."

"About what?"

"Okay, I'm lying. I just need someone to talk to." Naruto dropped his head in shame.

"Well, that's fine too."

Tears slowly started to fall down Naruto's face. "I can't fulfill Sakura's promise!" His face suddenly shot up.

"What?" Shikamaru was slightly taken aback by Naruto's sudden outburst.

"The promise I made to Sakura…about bringing Sasuke back."

"Oh. That promise."

"Yeah…what am I supposed to do?"

"Well, you can try talking to Sakura about it, but ultimately, you have to make that decision for yourself."

"Alright. Hey, do you know what time it is?"

"4:25-ish. Why?"

"Oh, shoot. I have to go to Ichiraku's! I'm meeting Sakura there at 5."

Naruto tried to run past Shikamaru, but Shikamaru already caught him in his Shadow Possession Jutsu. "How about we make this a little more…fun?" Shikamaru said with a sly grin.

When Naruto and Shikamaru were finished, Ichiraku's was perfect date material. There was a single round table with a green tablecloth. On it was a bouquet of white roses with a single red rose in the middle-courtesy of Ino. There was romantic mood lighting all over the place. And Shikamaru paid extra to have the entire place reserved just for Naruto and Sakura.

"This is really gonna help Sakura take her mind off of Sasuke," Naruto said.

"Yeah," Shikamaru agreed, "and just in time too."

"Thanks a bunch for all this, Shika—"

"I got it!" Shikamaru interrupted. "Naruto, do me a favor and tell me how everything went tomorrow. I have something to report to Tsunade."

"Uh, sure. But thanks again!"

Shikamaru sprinted all the way to Tsunade's office. He burst through the door. "Lady, Tsunade!"

"Shikamaru," Tsunade said. "I assume you finished your duties."

"Yeah, and I think I might have figured something out about Sasuke."

"What is it?" Tsunade asked, suddenly very attentive.

"I've been thinking about this the entire day."

"Mmhmm?"

"Is it possible for Sasuke to have faked his death?"
so this one has a little less to do with Sakura. thats cause i wanted to have more balance since chapter three was all about sakura.
