Say goodbye

Naruto said, "Well, if you don't mind, I think I'll call it a day. I've had quite a long day myself and I'll probably just go back home.

"Thanks for taking me this far Naruto," Temari said, then she waved to Kotetsu and Izumo and began her journey back to The Sand.

Naruto watched her walk away for a while. When she was far enough away, he said, "Shikamaru's an idiot."

Izumo laughed and said, "He sure is. That Temari is a wild one."

"Huh?" Naruto commented.

"Yeah," Kotetsu said, "We heard she sometimes would make Shikamaru walk with her because she wanted to be alone with him. And I swear there were a few times when I heard him begging for mercy when he did walk with her, but I can't prove anything."

Naruto just stared after Temari, wondering what Kotetsu meant. Did that mean that Temari would often beat the crap out of Shikamaru when she got him outside the Village? If that was the case, he was glad he didn't walk her out! But what if it actually meant something else entirely? He'd never know now, he'd made his decision.

"I'll see you guys," Naruto said to the gate guards, as he walked back home he felt like he may have missed out on an exciting or terrifying opportunity ? which seemed to be the theme to his whole day.

A/N: End of story for you! Temari went on her way and you'll go back to the beginning and try again if you want a different outcome. Thanks for reading and playing!
