Chapter 1.
Naruto took a deep breath.
Focusing on the past, present and the future, seeing only strength, fear and love. The ultimate power rushed trough his body along with mixed emotions from his outmost fingertips to his far south toes.
It was like fire, burning hot, firey strong, independent flame. Capable of causing great damadge but also capable of keeping a great balance.
Naruto opened his eyes.
The forest was still, calm, nothing like the power he felt inside, the tumbling emotions.
It's time, soon time.
Naruto emptied his mind, soon time. The long time that went on, the many years that passed since he last exchanged words with that brat, he was now ready. Ready to stand ground, facing the dark raven, the Sasuke who been gone for so long.
Naruto stod up, slowly but steady he took his stance and as fast as he came, he went.
Flowing between the trees he reremembered the last moments, the last moves the took together, the last steps as team 7.
"Sasuke... Sasuke..." Naruto kept repeating.
"Sasuke, I will find you!"
Naruto hadn't told anyone, he just left with consulting neither Gaara, Sakura, Tsunade or even Kakashi. He had felt that he was ready to face his past and there were only one was to do this, alone.
The trees were green, as usual and he noticed even the little things such as crooky leafs or the dryed ones. He felt glares burning into his skin, he was almost, but almost possitive that someone was watching him. The atmosphere got tenser by the meter he got further away from the village and closer to his past.
In just one instant Naruto fell, face first down toward the hard, grassy ground. His ankel had been caught in a trap that quickly tugged him closer and closer, until he was literlly dragged on the ground.
Naruto felt black and blue, bruised against the hard ground, getting stones, twigs and other things just laying around in his face.
"Naruto!" Yelled a harsh but familiar voice.
Naruto turned his bruised head slowly to see a familiar face. "Kakashi?".
