It was night. The shining moon that was once red the previous night was now it's original grey color. It gave Naruto the time to think. Think over the war, to think over Sasuke, and to think over his ideals. He knew the war would leave scars. It would change him, and without him knowing it this was one of its effects. He no longer had the same very high optimistic view. He was still an optimist, but after battling Sasuke it was wavering slightly. He felt as if Sasuke wasn't going to help him release the Infinite Tsukuyomi than he would be forced to take matters into his own hands. He never enjoyed bringing pain to people, but as a descendent of the Rikudō Sennin it was his job, no. His destiny to bring peace to the Elemental Nations. Even if it meant taking the eye of his all but brother in blood. A constant sound of a drop of water could be heard. It was if someone forgot to close the faucet of the sink all the way.

Sasuke opened his eyes.

"You've finally come to, eh?" Naruto spoke with a raspy voice. The stress of using his vocal cords causing blood to trickle down his mouth, but he had to show his best friend the light.

Sasuke hearing Naruto's voice quickly turned to him, but instantly flinched in pain as he moved. Looking down in between the space of the two Sasuke noticed two things. The source of his pain, and the blood that was connected towards him and Naruto in a 'v' fashion. They had both lost their arms when they clashed with their finale jutsu's.

"As you can see" Naruto started, "if either of us moves too much, we'll bleed out and die." His voice holding no emotion.

"Why would you go that far?" Sasuke asked. Ignoring Naruto's previous statement, so he could get his questions answered. "Why do all that….just to get in my way?" Naruto however kept looking at the moon in silence. "I gained the power to enter the darkness, and sever all bonds. And naturally, everyone's tried to cut their ties to me as well, at some point" he turned his head to Naruto, "But you...You've never attempted to cut me off."

A flashback of Naruto yelling at him went through his head, "The only one who can handle all that hatred is me!"

"Why do you keep involving yourself with me?"

Naruto closed his eyes and smiled before lightly lifting his head from the stone, " You already know, don't you? Now that your body can't move, your mouth sure is talking a lot."

"Just answer me!" Sasuke yelled out of frustration .

However Naruto's smile faded as he opened his eyes and turned to Sasuke. Cerulean blue meeting onyx. What he said next caused Sasuke's eyes to widen.

"Cuz you're my friend."

Another flashback went through Sasuke's head. Their first battle at the Valley of the End. He was standing on a log with his sharingan blazing. "What is with you anyway?" Sasuke yelled. "I'm your friend!" Naruto yelled as more and more power kept coming out of him. His eyes slit red due to the Kyuubi's influence.

Another flashback. Sasuke this time was standing next to Tobi. In a rage due to Naruto interfering with his plans again, "Just what the hell do you want? Why are you so fixated on me?" Sasuke yelled. Naruto smiled at his words before once again speaking, "It's because i'm your friend!" he spoke in a happy tone.

They laid there after the flashback. Where there was a silence between the two. Sasuke was processing what Naruto had told him throughout the years.

"I've heard that before. But what exactly does that mean? To you anyway?" Sasuke asked in a curious tone.

Naruto closed his eyes before turning his head to the sky.

"You ask me to explain it, but I really can't put it into words. It's just that..when I see you take on stuff..and get all messed up...It kinda...hurts me." Naruto spoke in a sad tone. Sasuke's eyes widened at that before Naruto continued, "It hurts so much inside, that I can't just leave it alone, dattebayo" he turned his head towards Sasuke's with a small smile, "Though right now, i'm in a lot of pain all over, and I can't do anything about it." he said jokingly. Sasuke just looked at Naruto with warmth in his eyes. He forgot how it felt like to be loved by someone. A brotherly love he lost after Itachi murdered his clan. Did Naruto really see him like that? 'Naruto...I knew you were always alone back than. The village shunned you, just like they did with me… the lone Uchiha survivor. You intentionally did stupid things to get scolded, most likely to get people's attention. In the beginning, I thought you we're a good for nothing. A weakling who just wanted to constantly goof around. But the more I watched you being idiotic and getting scolded over and over… For some reason it started weighing on my mind. I thought back than, that your weakness was gradually rubbing off on me. Then, every time i'd see you, i'd think about you more and more. Seeing you desperately trying to bond with others… made me remember my own family. And I don't know why, but I felt relief. But at the same time, I considered it a weakness. I trained hard as if to escape that weakness. In order to get revenge on my older brother. To become stronger than him. And yet… I ended up on the same team as you. I began thinking about my family again. I went on missions with you, as you jabbered on and on about becoming Hokage… I saw how both of us were getting stronger… And one day, I started feel the desire to fight you too. And I began to see a shadow of my own family in Team 7… That's why every time I saw you suffering… That's right… I felt it… I felt pain too. When I understood your pain, I finally saw you as a comrade. But on the other hand… I couldn't leave you alone. You were getting stronger and stronger. Watching you steadily grow stronger… I… '

It was if Naruto could hear Sasuke's thoughts. When Sasuke finished, Naruto took over, 'I knew that you were always alone. I wanted to walk over and start talking. I'd get sorta giddy. But I stopped myself. I was jealous because you were good at everything So I made you my rival. You've been… my goal. I had nothing, and I found a bond. I wanted to be strong and cool like you. That's why I kept chasing after you.' Naruto spoke with happiness.

'It was the opposite' Sasuke's voice started, 'In reality, I was the one who was jealous of you. Because you had strength that I didn't. You were always walking in front of me. Just like my late big brother. And… even today… '

A flashback of Itachi speaking to Naruto, "I'll let you deal with Sasuke."

"That was my plan from the start!" Naruto shouted causing Itachi's reincarnated body to smile.

Itachi's voice could be heard by Sasuke as he looked at the scene, "Entrusting it to you was the right thing to do, after all."

Sasuke's eyes widened at Itachi's words, 'These are-! Naruto's memories.' Sasuke witnessed Naruto's memories. From fighting Mizuki to Team 7's time together. The Wave Mission. The Chunin Exams. Fighting Gaara. Training with Jiraiya. Bringing back Tsunade. Learning the Rasengan. Leaving the village, and coming back, Saving Gaara. Fighting Pain and meeting his father. Fighting Obito and Madara. Befriending the Kyuubi. Their first time seeing each other after almost three years. The fun moments. The sad moments. The powerful moments. Even the desperate moments. It all made Sasuke see who Naruto truly was. It made him see Naruto's will of fire.

'Naruto… How far… have you-?' Was Sasuke's though until he heard Itachi's voice where he immediately turned around.

'No matter how powerful you become, don't try to shoulder everything alone. You share your father's dream, don't you? Then don't ever forget… Becoming Hokage doesn't mean people will acknowledge you. But when people acknowledge you, you can become the Hokage. Never forget your friends!' Itachi told Naruto. Sasuke stood next to the memory of Naruto as they both listened to his words.

'Nii-san' Sasuke thought. An image of Itachi appeared in front of him. Then it changed to Itachi in an Akatsuki cloak. He still had a small faint smile that was directed to him. It than changed to Naruto. More and more people started to appear on Naruto's side… where he was left all alone in the darkness. Than he saw himself on that side. Standing next to Naruto proudly with a smile. It made his eyes widen and mouth open, before he looked down in shame.

"I see" sasuke spoke as he lifted his head slowly to look at Naruto's side, "Then.. let me redeem myself. Brother."

They woke up to the same drop that continuously hit the ground. It was morning when they awoke from their memory trips.

"Where are we?" Naruto asked, "Don't tell me this is really Heaven this time?" Naruto spoked in a panic tone.

"Looks like we fell asleep and slept until morning. We've failed to die again." Sasuke spoke with a tone of happiness and finished with a smile.

Naruto struggled to move after hearing Sasuke, "Damn it! I still can't move! I was hoping to punch you hard and make you finally open your eyes!"

Sasuke let out a chuckle.

"Eh?"

However Sasuke just kept laughing. This caused Naruto to turn to him.

"W-what is it?" Naruto asked confused.

Sasuke kept his smile and glanced at Naruto, "We're messed up like this, and you still wanna fight?"

Naruto gained blank white eyes before yelling, "Damn right! No matter how many times it takes-" However he was cut of by Sasuke's calm voice.

"I'll admit it."

"Eh?"

"I've… lost" he finished with a shine in his normal emotionless eyes.

There was a small silence between the two. Naruto was looking at his friend, while Sasuke was looking at the rising sun.

"You baka!" he started, "This fight isn't about winning or losing! It's about punching a sulking friend, to make him snap out of it! That's what it's about! The real match I want, comes after that!"

"Hey, Naruto... " Sasuke started peacefully.

"EH!" He yelled in the same expression.

"I just acknowledged you. If I die here, the long cycle of destiny the Rikudō Sennin mentioned will probably end as well. This is… a kind of revolution too. You can release the Infinite Tsukuyomi after i'm dead, by transplanting my left eye into yourself. I'll put an end to myself." Sasuke spoke solemnly.

"By dying? Don't think dying will settle this! If you're willing to die, than live and help me instead. What I want to do is make all Shinobi cooperate with each other. And that definitely includes you!" He spoke with fire in his eyes. His head facing Sasuke's.

Sasuke turned his head towards Naruto, "Just because you want that doesn't mean other will agree to it."

"Damn it! If you keep whining and sulking, i'll slug you again!"

"There's no guarantee I won't stand against you again… "

"Than i'll stop you again! Besides, I know you're not gonna do that kinda thing anymore." He finished as he turned his head towards the sky.

"How can you be so sure?"

Hearing this Naruto turned once again towards Sasuke, "Don't make me repeat myself!" as he said this Sasuke let out a lone tear from his one open eye, "Haven't you figured it out yet?!" Naruto said as he once again turned his head towards the sky before gaining a smile, "Now that I think about it… You were always pretty stupid too… " he opened his eyes to glance at Sasuke after the tease. However his eyes widened when he realized Sasuke was crying. He came to a decision. Not wanting to show Naruto his tears he turned his head the opposite way.

There was a silence between the two. Where the only thing that could be heard was the continuous drops of their blood streaming off the destroyed statue .

It was mid day now and Naruto could see Sakura and Kakashi on top of the valley. Both of them had a worried look on their face as they saw both of them were bleeding profoundly. Sakura quickly made her way towards the two, and started closing their wounds.

"Thanks, Sakura." Naruto wheezed the barley formed sentence out with a smile.

"Sakura… " Sasuke started, "Never mind me... "

"Stay quiet now. I need to concentrate." She spoke with a disappointed tone.

Sasuke's eyes slightly closed, "I'm sorry…. "

"Sorry? For what?" The same disappointed emotionless tone evident in her voice.

Sasuke looked at her in the eyes before speaking, "For everything… "

"You should be" she spoke as she shook. Trying to keep up the emotionless facade with tears threatening to fall out, "Really… you… " the wall burst. Tears started pouring out of Sakura's eyes as she tried to form words, "Damn… idiot!"

Kakashi looked at the scene before him. Flashbacks of Team 7's memories going through his head. He looked back down and both Naruto and Sasuke had smiles on their faces as they comforted Sakura before Naruto started laughing. The other two smiling at what he said.

"He's finally back." Kakashi spoke as he saw the smiles on the team's faces. He quickly made his way down into the valley and took out a camera. He made a single shadow clone before giving it the camera.

"Well I believe this deserves a picture" Kakashi spoke getting a round of nods from the team. The positioning was sorta similar to when they took the original Team 7 photo. Kakashi was in the middle of Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto was to his left with Sasuke to his right. He had the same eye smile as before, and this time instead of glaring at each other, Naruto and Sasuke had a peaceful smile on their faces staring at the camera. Sakura was in front with a very happy smile on her face. The clone took the picture and four photos came out of the camera. Kakashi put three of them into his pouch, and put one into a scroll. A scroll which he sneaked into Naruto's pouch.

While Naruto was telling Sakura what happened Sasuke glanced at him, 'Naruto… I've been thinking about what you once said to me. When we were together, you wondered if it was how having a brother would feel… Now, finally… I think I know what you meant.' He had a smile on his face the whole time. Seeing his blonde friend like this. He couldn't take the chance of betraying him, so there was only one thing they could do. Naruto had to have his rinnegan. It was the only way he would feel safe. With that thought in mind he hit the back of Naruto's neck causing him to pass out.

"Sasuke!" Sakura yelled out.

"Sakura... " he gave her a pleading look. A look that begged let me explain, " I want you to give Naruto my rinnegan. It's the only way I won't be a threat to anyone. Please… please do it for me, and afterwards i'll come back to Konoha." There was a look in his eye that Sakura had never seen before. A look of warmth, conviction, and a look that begged her to do it.

She hesitantly nodded her head. It gave her flashbacks to when Obito begged her to stab him in the eye to destroy the rinnegan. She couldn't do it back then, but after everything they went through… she would do it. With a newfound determination she carefully opened Naruto's left eye and stopped. There was a brief moment where all she could do was look at that cerulean eye, where if the user was awake would shine brighter than the sun itself. With a small 'sorry' Sakura took Naruto's eye out, and proceed to give it to Kakashi-sensei. She looked at Sasuke again before he gave her a nod. This time however she didn't hesitate. Sakura took out the rinnegan that was in his left eye, and transplanted it into Naruto's empty eye socket.

What happened once she put the purple rippled eye in shocked Team 7. A blinding bright light surrounded Naruto's form, and only grew bigger and bigger. When it surround Naruto's form it burst, leaving millions of light particles behind. However it hadn't left our blond hero behind. They didn't know what happened. They didn't care what happened. All they cared about was getting Naruto. It wasn't fair! They finally all came back together and something like this happens. Why!

'Naruto you better be ok!' Was the thought of Team 7.

Kakashi's eyes widened. They hadn't released the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

With Naruto

The feeling of wind rushing against his face was what Naruto awoke to. Opening his eyes he was blinded by a bright light.

'What!? Where the hell am I?! Damn it Sasuke! I swear if you did this i'm going to-'

He wasn't able to finish his thought from the force of his body meeting the ground. Skidding to a stop Naruto groggily stood up. His left hand trying to comfort his head after the very painful landing. Seriously he hadn't even fully recovered from his fight with Sasuke, and already something like this was happening. 'Only I can do something like this. Seriously I was only talking to Sakura-chan, and next thing I know i'm coming down like one of Madara's meteor. Sheesh that was scary.' he thought as he shuttered just thinking about the ancient Uchiha's technique.

"Now to find out where the hell everyone went."

Taking a single step Naruto immediately fell down face first into the cold hard ground. His body shut down from all of the exhaustion it had suffered over the past few days.

A pair of brown eyes could be seen watching Naruto. As soon as she saw the fiery object heading towards the ground it interested her. She couldn't describe it, but she felt as if she needed to see what it was. When she first saw what she assumed was a shooting star she had wished for her older brother to come back. However as the star got closer and closer to the world she immediately left her room to see what it was. Of course she had to sneak out due to her older sisters worrying about her.

She made her way towards the smoking crater, and what she found honestly surprised her. There on the floor was what appeared to be a person in their mid-teens. The person had blonde hair that seemed as if it was kissed by the sun itself, clothing that no sane person would wear in public. A shirt which reminded her of a fishnet, and a long bright orange jumpsuit pants. Both of them were severely damaged. Deciding that she would go and tell her Onee-chan she ran back to where she resided.

"Onee-chan!Onee-chan! Come quick!" The little girl yelled as she entered her home.

"Ah! Hanami what is it?" a voice could be heard.

"Just hurry Onee-chan!" the little brown haired girl yelled desperately.

Hearing a sigh, and than footsteps following them, she was met face to face with her Older sister. She grabbed her sisters hand and quickly ran out the door.

"Hinami! Where are we going!" The taller one yelled in surprised.

"Just trust me Onee-chan!" The little girl yelled back enthusiastically.

They ran to the forest where Hinami previously was. The whole time the older one apologizing to passerby's due to Hinami's recklessness. 'Honestly this girl.' Looking at Hinami she couldn't help but notice she seemed excited, but a look of worry was evident on her face. 'This better be something important or she'll never hear the end of it.'

They arrived to what appeared to be a smoking crater. The older of the two seemed slightly confused at what she was seeing.

"Over here Onee-chan." Hinami said as she poked her sister. What the older one saw surprised her even more. Unlike Hinami the older one realized that the teen was in what looked to be critical condition. First of all the man had cuts and bruises all over his body, he was laying head first into the ground, so she couldn't get that good of a look at him. What caused her to get out of her shock, was the fact that he was missing his right arm.

"Hinami! Get back to the house, tell Nishiki and Yomo to set up a bed and bandages ready! Go! Now!" The older one yelled at Hinami. Hinami gave her a nod and quickly ran back to inform the others of the situation at hand.

Picking him up, she didn't have time to check him for anymore injuries. Due to carry what appeared to be a dead body she stuck to the alleys and rooftops. Before she knew it she was kicking the door down and rushing up stairs. They already had all the necessary medical equipment incase one of them got severely injured. Afterall they couldn't go to a hospital due to them being ghouls. Throwing the blonde on the bed, causing him to let out a small grunt, she started looking for anymore serious injuries.

"What's with all the ruckus?" Nishiki questioned as he entered the room. Hinami had told him to come upstairs, and when he asked 'why?' she told him it was an emergency. Instead of an answer he looked at the bed, where a blond haired teen was in,before looking back at Touka. She gave him a stern look, and he got straight to work. Out of all them he was the most experienced in situations like these. Looking over the blond he realized three things. One, he had gashes, cuts, and bruises all over his body. Two, he was missing half of his right arm. Three, the injuries on the blond were slowly healing themselves. 'A ghoul?' was Nishiki's first thought at the inspection. However, he was confused when he took the blondes shirt off, and found many scars all over. The most notable one being the one where his right lung was supposed to be. It seemed as if a fist went through it. His arm wasn't healing either, which confused him even more. If the blond was a ghoul the RC cells would be prioritizing on the missing limb first, instead of the other injuries on him. Not only that but, a Ghoul could regenerate any part of their limbs, but his was already closed off. Deciding to put his questions off for later, he cleaned the blond's wounds and bandage him up incase he was wrong. Giving the blond one last look he made his way downstairs.

"So" he started, "who's the blonde?" he asked looking at Touka.

Touka looked at Hinami before looking at Nishiki, "I honestly have no clue. Hinami's the one who originally found him. "

At that all eyes were on Hinami. The same question clearly being directed at her.

"I-I found him when I saw a bright light come down. I don't know who he is though" she spoke nervously. A stutter evident at the start.

"Aw does my little Hinami have a lil crush~" Nishiki teased.

It caused Hinami's face to turn a dust pink before she buried her face in her scarf. Getting a look from Touka Nishiki stopped.

"He might have been collateral damage." Yomo spoke.

"Well once he's up, he's not our problem. But he has a very weird scent on him don't you think?" Touka spoke calmly.

"We should eat him" Nishiki spoke blankly.

"N-No!" Hinami yelled as she waved her arms around frantically.

"Ah so our lil Hinami does have a crush~" Nishiki teased once again.

"W-What! I-I tho-thought we got past this Nishiki-san" She spoke once again embarrassed.

"I'm just teasing Hinami" he spoke with a smile.

There was a small silence between them.

"Hinami" Touka spoke, "I think it's time for you to go to bed. I'll come up and tuck you in a bit. Us three have to talk, so why don't you go to bed." she finished with a smile that left no room for complaint.

Giving a sign of defeat, Hinami gave Touka a hug before making her way upstairs. Hearing the footsteps fade away, and the sound of a door closing Touka turned to the two.

"Where do we go from here?" Touka started.

They lost everything during the Owl Suppression Operation. The CCG took everything away from them. Their job, their home, and most importantly their family. Just thinking about it caused them to feel nothing but hatred towards the CCG. Especially Touka. She had lost Kaneki during that operation, and she doesn't have a single clue if he's dead or alive. It wasn't fair damn it! What did they do to deserve this! Why did life have to take them all away! Yoshimura, Koma, Irimi, and Kaneki. It was the family those monsters took away.

"Touka!" Yomo's voice cut through her thoughts.

Looking at him she realized Yomo had a stern look on his face. Following his gaze she realized she had activated her kakugan.

"I'm sorry.. " she spoke with a shaky voice. Tears threatened to fall out of her purple orbs, "It's just… why us? We didn't do anything, and yet they still treat us worse than Aogiri Tree" she spoke in a hushed tone. Drops could be seen hitting the table. Looking at Touka she had tears falling out of her eyes. Feeling a comforting hand on her shoulder she looked at its source and realized it was Nishiki. He had a sad smile on his face. "It's ok Touka. We'll just build up again. We already bought the new building, and we already know how to run a coffee business. We'll learn from our mistakes, and make sure nothing like that every happens again." He spoke in a caring tone the whole way through his little speech. Wiping her tears she steeled her nerves. She was so lucky to still have some of her family left. They weren't related by blood, but it was the pain they shared that brought them together. She wiped her tears before furiously nodding her head,

Seeing this Nishiki smiled before he spoke, "Well i'm gonna head back home to Kimi. I'll come back by tomorrow, and we can start setting up shop. Watch our blonde friend there to. He shouldn't be waking up until a week minimum." With that he left their little hideout. Yomo put his hand on Touka's shoulder, also giving her his reassurance. Deciding to call it a night Touka made her way up to Hinami's room. She slightly opened it to the point where only the light from the hallway would slightly enter. She realized Hinami was asleep, but still gave her a good night kiss. Even if she was asleep a smile could be seen on Hinami's face. "I'll protect you with my life Hinami" she spoke softly before lightly closing the door.

Making her way towards her room, Touka couldn't help but stare at the door of their guest. Once he was all healed he wasn't their problem anymore. He was lucky enough that Hinami was the one who found him, for if it was her she would have left him. Opening the door to his room she couldn't help but stare at the man. He was hooked up to machines that they had just in case, and he was bandaged like a mummy. The only real thing she could see from the teen was his golden locks of hair that popped out in front of his sleeping eye. His left one was covered by bandages as well. She turned off the lights before giving her visitor one last glance. She didn't know why, but something was off about him. His smell wasn't right. It was like a humans scent, but at the same time it wasn't. He didn't smell like a ghoul. Deciding to save it for a later date she closed the door before making her way towards her own room.

Middle of the Night

Air, it was the only thing his body was all but begging for. He woke up by jolting up from the bed gasping for air. It felt as if he was being constantly pulled by a Kamui. Not fun times. What freaked him out was where he was. He was in a room with hospital machinery, but it didn't look or feel like a hospital. Was it someone's home perhaps? He looked out the window to see the moon. That damn moon brought to many problems. Seriously if he had to describe the moon in one word it would be 'Sasuke'. The teme brought so many problems, but luckily he brought him back to the right path. He tried going back to sleep but no matter what he tried he couldn't, so he laid there. He laid there in the dark room, with the only source of light being the illuminating moon. The occasional sounds would also come from the machinery, but after a while he was able to block it out. He laid there staring at the ceiling for who knows how long. That was until he ran into a small little problem.

He had to pee.

Of course if this was someone's home he couldn't just get up, and look around for a bathroom. There was most likely people sleeping, and if one of them got up it would make him seem like an intruder. Naruto laid there wondering on what he should do, and eventually decided that he was going to go.

Taking off all the wires on him; he threw them onto the floor. The noise of the wires hitting the floor could be heard. He had to stay quiet, and so far this wasn't really what he was aiming for. Opening the door very slowly his eye adjusted to the darkness quickly. His one lone eye shining in the darkness. If anyone was to see him they would be mesmerized by how beautiful his eye was. An eye that was as bright as the sky, and a heart that was as wide as the ocean. There was a twinkle in his eye that surprisingly stayed even after the war. He was still the same knucklehead shinobi since he was younger.

After checking all the rooms upstairs he found out that the two of the three residents were sleeping in their own beds. One of them was a child who looked to be around fourteen, and the other was older than him and appeared to be only a year or so older than him. The bathroom also wasn't on the second floor, so with a bit of hesitation he made his way downstairs.

CR-

He stopped instantly. The stairs made to much noise, and he couldn't exactly go back up. Afterall he had to pee! He wasn't going to let some stairs beat him! With that thought in mind Naruto planted the soles of his feet onto the wall where he started to walk on the wall, where he gracefully landed on the ground soundless. He creeped around the house slowly opening each and every door in search of a bathroom, however to his devilish luck he hadn't found a single one. This was bad. His bladder was about to burst. It seemed he had no other option, but to ask the person on the floor below him. He could sense that the person was wide awake due to their emotions. It was if they were training. He found the door that led to the basement, and as soon as he opened it he could hear the person downstairs stopped what they were doing. Their emotions changed from one of determination to alert. "Kuso!" he cursed silently. There was no other way out. He had to let his presence known, or else his bladder was going to explode. Building up courage he spoke.

"Ano! Um… do you think you could show me where the bathroom is. I kinda got lost, and the other two are already sleeping." he spoke with an embarrassed tone.

However he didn't get a reply.

A sudden realization hit him, 'Don't tell me he's one of those silent types! KAMI WHY!'

"Come down here." A gruff voice was heard downstairs.

'Ok so he's one of those silent types. Great.' Naruto thought before he slowly made his way down the stairs. With every step he took the floorboards creaked as if it was signifying his doom. He made it to the dimly lit basement where he noticed where the man was. He was met with a stone-cold face that was glaring at him. The man had gray hair with a single strand framing his face. He wore a black shirt that was very tight on the man, and had sweat stains on it. It was clear to Naruto the man was training. He wore black sweatpant, and wore no shoes. Instead of being intimidated by the man, Naruto gained one of his smiles before breaking the silence between them.

"Anou, could you point me to the bathroom?"

Instead of a response the man kept staring at Naruto. His grey eyes trying to figure Naruto's intentions. The man was clearly on guard. He clearly didn't trust him, but come on! He had to use the bathroom already!

Yomo did have those thoughts but he had a series of questions going. The main one was how was he up already. According to Nishiki the blonde should have been out for a week minimum. Yomo didn't show it, but he was honestly surprised when he heard the blonde speak from the upstairs. It frightened him a little, since the blonde clearly held some skill to surprise him like that. He should have heard him as soon as he got out of the room, yet he didn't.

"So… could you just show me where it is? I'm at the verge on peeing myself, and I doubt both of us want that. It'll save me the humiliation, and it'll save your" he stopped as he gave a look around the room before he looked back at the man, "your floor."

There was another brief silence. Where the blondes one blue visible eye met his two grey ones. The blonde was about to speak up, but Yomo beat him to it.

"Follow me." he said as he passed him, and started making his way up the stairs.

'Finally!' Naruto thought with a sigh of relief as he followed the man.

They were headed towards the stairs, but Naruto noticed something that he didn't notice before. There was a door under the stairs. He cursed himself for his stupidity. The man opened the door, and turned on the lights in the bathroom. Before looking at Naruto as he held the door wide open. Naruto gave the man a small, 'thank you' and entered the bathroom. When he closed the door he immediately took his long awaited piss.

"Ahhhh, so much better" the blonde whispered out as his urine hit the toilet. After what seemed like Forever Naruto finally made his way towards the sink. The bandages were all around his body. Honestly whoever did this had no idea what they were doing. Thank Kami for Kurama's chakra, or else he would probably be dead. He looked back at himself in the mirror. His one blue eye staring back at him with small locks of his sunny blonde hair covering bits of it. His gaze went to his missing arm. There was only a stub there, but he didn't regret it for a second. He brought back Sasuke. That's all that matters. Now to figure out where the hell he was. Naruto proceeded to unwrap the bandages, wanting to see the extent of the damage he had taken. Exposing his chest, nick's off of various battles and from his childhood, could be found all over his body. The one that stood out the most was a large fist sized scar that made it clear he was penetrated through his body. It was when him and Sasuke first fought at the Valley of the End. The chidori had punctured his right lung, but luckily Kurama's chakra saved him. The rest was history really. Smiling at the memories he couldn't help but reflect on his life. He sacrificed a lot to bring Sasuke back, and he was happy that in the end he was able to pull him from the darkness. Brothers. That's what they were. They were meant to be brothers the second they were born. Naruto averted his gaze from his body to the bandages that surrounded his face. More specifically his left eye. Honestly, it reminded him a bit of how Kakashi-sensei had his hitai . Once the bandages hit the floor Naruto's eyes widened profoundly.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The high pitched scream could be heard throughout the whole house.

Author's Note

So i'm not gonna lie. This is my first work that I have written, and if you have checked my profile (you probably haven't) that I don't really think of myself that highly. In fact, it's the exact opposite. I have mixed feelings about this chapter, cause I feel like there's a lot of errors. I'm not sure if there are or not cause I don't know what the errors are. Hopefully that's just me, and that you actually enjoyed this story. I currently have the next chapter ready, but i'm going over it. I'm not going to make Naruto to OP, since you're probably thinking that since he has the rinnegan that he'll destroy everyone in his way. That's not what i'm going for, and i'm sure i'll find a way to show that. I already have a pairing set up, which you'll see in the next chapter. Anyway thanks for reading and please leave comments. I really appreciate the feedback, so that I can improve my writing. In case you want to know more about how I do things then check my profile.
