Chapter 1
Blue eyes traced the horizon of which he could see the green gates that led outside his peaceful village. He stops and turns down a wide street where he could see the green gates grow in length and depth.
"Huh? Hokage -san, what brings you at the gates?" A guard asked with worry in his voice. The blue eyes spoke nothing merely ignoring the man. The man called 'Hokage' stopped and a smirk formed on his face. He released a breath of relief and satisfaction. Onyx eyes glared peacefully at the blue eyes, with a small smile.
"How long has it been since we've seen each other?" spoke the blue eyes in a low tone.
"Naruto, you've grown,"
"Hello Uchiha…" Naruto smiled at Sasuke and Sasuke smirked at him. The two so called rivals were smiling at each other with peace on their lips.
The Uchiha stuffed his hands into his pocket and walked two more steps closer to Naruto.
"I see you don't use my first name anymore… why is that? Do you not trust me anymore?" The Uchiha spoke in sarcasm as he always did in the past with his fellow teammate. Naruto ignored the comment that was said.
"Hmm…I suppose you have completed your so called "dream" and now you wish to come back to the leaf to live a peaceful life? Am I right" Naruto glared slightly to the Uchiha. "Well then… you may stay here for the time being but only if you can live here for a long period of time is not up to me but the Council. I may warn you Sasuke… they will not take you lightly, be on your BEST behavior in my village or I will remove you with no hesitation." With that the Hokage calmly gestured the Uchiha to follow him to the office to get some paper work done.
Naruto walked into his office with Sasuke following. "You have a seat here…" Naruto gestured Sasuke to where the set of chairs where. Sasuke took a seat and analysis the room, the room was the same as he has been gone for the past 9 years.
Naruto sat at his desk, opened a file and wrote on a document that had Sasukes 13 year old picture. Naruto placed the pencil on the side of the document and folded his hands and looked at Sasuke with satisfaction on his face.
"I will need to ask you a couple of question…let's get started, shall we? Sasuke merely looked at the Hokage waiting for him to proceed with what he was saying
"How old are you now?" Sasuke look at the yellow haired Hokage as if he did not know his former friend's age, but just shrugged it off…for now.
"I am 21 years old." He spoke firmly.
"How tall are you?"
"6'8" Sasuke replied.
Naruto asked three more questions. After Sasuke and Naruto was done with their Q&A. Sasuke decided to pay a visit around the village and maybe bump into familiar faces.
Sasuke walked down the main street. All was heard was whispers 'why is he here? And why don't you go back to the sound' when he walked down the busy street.
Sasuke had enough and walked down at a dirt path. Sasuke was very familiar with this path it was the first time Team 7 did their training and where Naruto got tied to the stump. Sasuke chuckled at this memory.
That was the first time Team 7 had trained together. Sasuke walked down the street where he smelled a familiar sent attracted Sasuke. It was the Ramen Shop where Naruto, Sakura sometimes Kakashi and himself would go to eat after training or missions.
Many memories came back to him and a small smile came upon his face. Sasuke wasn't too fond of Ramen but just this once he wanted to eat here so badly. Sasuke took a seat where he had always sat in Geinin days. Remembering that Sakura and Naruto would sit on his right and the orange book reader would sit on his left.
"Hello sir, what would you like?" Sasuke came back from his daydream and ordered.
"Miso soup with a little bit of chicken… please." He ordered what he always ordered
'Miso soup with a little bit of chicken.'
"Her you go sir" Onyx eyes traced the bowl of soup before eating it. As he lifted the soup to eat he heard a voice.
"Ah… I see you are getting fond of ramen just as I was huh Sasuke…?" Naruto took a seat while fooling with the Uchiha.
"I will have to chicken soup please." Naruto closed his eyes and sighed
"Oh, how I missed this place so much. I haven't been here in years." Sasuke almost choked on his Miso soup, surprised at what the blue eyed Hokage.
"How long has it been since you've eaten at this shop, Naruto?" Naruto looked at Sasuke and finally smiled the smile he did as a kid.
"I don't really know anymore… two, three years I suppose." Naruto giggled quietly to himself. The former best friends ate there so called lunch in peace.
As they departed Naruto whispered.
"I think it would be the least you could do is to go to the memorial and read the names and give them a moment of silence." Naruto Suggested
They departed and Sasuke walked to the memorial passing by familiar streets and homes. As Sasuke reached the memorial he remembered what Naruto told him
"… read the names …" Sasuke read the names with no questions. "Sarutobi, Asuma, Jiriaya…" Sasuke keep reading until…
"Sakura Haruno, K-Kashi Hatake, Tsun-Tsunade…" The world felt like it stopped and time itself. He couldn't move, he felt as it his heart had sunk to the bottomless pits of…of…hell. Onyx eyes widened with sadness, remorse and tears. Sasuke got up went to the Hokage's office.
Sasuke walked down the long quiet hallway with tears in his eyes. Onyx eyes meet a green door that was immediately opened with his fist full of rage and sorrow; but then calmly walked to the empty seat across from Naruto's desk.
"Naruto…" Naruto just looked up from his work to look at the Uchiha.
Sasuke looked at Naruto. Naruto looked at Sasuke.
"Where's Sakura?" Sasuke broke the silence.
"Did you read the names? Sasuke?" Naruto ignored the question. Sasuke's eye twitched in frustration and guilt.
'If he was there with them he could have stopped it. He could have saved Sakura, Kakashi and Tsunade'.
"There was nothing you could do for them Sasuke," Naruto responded. "You can't bame it on your self... Besides It was manly my fault..." a frown appered on his face. 'If I didn't go train that week I could have safed them, Only if i stayed in the village just a little bit longer I could've...' Thought Naruto.
"Well,I am hoping you gave them a moment of silence? It all in the past now…" Sasuke clenched his fist getting angry by the second towards what Naruto said.
"We live and we die this is something we have to get use to it." Naruto sighed. Sasuke clenched his fist tighter making his knuckles white as snow.
"Are you hungry Sasuke? We could go eat sweet dumplings, later?" Sasuke couldn't take it anymore.
"What do you mean if I'm hungry!!!!" Sasuke ran to Naruto with a fist full of anger; but stopped with his fist one inch away from Naruto's face the Blue and onyx eyes glared at each other with full intensity. Breathing heavily Sasuke backed away from Naruto and glared into the air.
"Can… Can you… tell me what happened that day?" Sasuke sat back into his chair waiting for the horrible story to begin.
