Itachi Uchiha was dead.
The fight between the two brothers had completely devastated the area.. the Black flames of Amaretsu still burned mercilessly in a ring around the center of the battle. Yamato, using Earth style, separated the burning area from the rest of the terrain to keep the black flames from spreading any further. With another crack the earth split open giving them all a safe path to the combatants.
All was quiet, too quiet.
Naruto dashed thru first desperate to reach Sasuke, to see if he still lived, or Kami-Sama forbid, Itachi had killed him and all was lost. All his hope, all his reason for striving forward, becoming stronger, for living. Sasuke, his Rival, his Teammate, His Best Friend, the only one who really and truly did not give a damn about the Nine tails inside him.
Itachi Uchiha was Dead.
The faint traces of chakra Naruto felt while running to the prone forms was not coming from him. Sasuke lived, barely clinging to life. But it was enough. Tears flowed freely down the young shinobi's face as he cradled the broken body in arms to his chest.
"Sasuke, SASUKE! Wake up you Bastard!" Those fathomless obsidian eyes blinked wearily open to look up.
"N-Naruto?, Wha, how.. Itachi?"
"Dead. You did it Sasuke, You beat him."
"Do-be" Lids fluttered as they fell over those dark eyes, but his heartbeat rang in the Blondes sharp ears like bells. Slightly off, discordant, but beating. By this point the others had arrived. Naruto stood with Sasuke's body limp in his arms.
"Naruto! What...?" Yamato called out concerned.
"He's still alive. I'm taking him to Grandma Tsunade so he stays that way." Naruto was already gathering all his Chakra, and if he had to dip into Kyuubi's for this, then so be it. Some things were just worth the risk. Before anyone could stop him, he quickly made the hand seals for the Teleportation jutsu and poured everything he had into it. Taking him and Sasuke all the way back to the Village Hidden in the Leaves, and not just the Hidden Leaf Village but straight to the Hokage's office. To the utter shock and surprise of said occupants.
Tsunade, 5th Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village and a world renowned Medical Ninja. Sat in shock for only a few seconds when Naruto first appeared holding the devastated body of what she knew had to be Sasuke Uchiha. As Naruto slowly sank to his knees, nearly completely depleted of chakra. His eye's met those of Tsunade's. The still moist tear tracks visible on his expressive face. He placed the battered Uchiha Heir before him on the floor.
"Save him Baa-chan, please. Ask me anything, I'll do, Anything, But first, please...Save him." Tsunade nodded, already reaching the young pair of shinobi, her mind already going into emergency medical mode.
"Shizune... I want an operating room readied, get 3 assistant medical nins in here to help me, Stat. I'll get him stabilized so we can move him, then we can assess the damage before deciding on what further treatment is needed." Shizune ran out the door, a faint "Yes Tsunade-Sama.." Trailing behind her.
Tsunade was already holding her hands over the unconscious body of the Uchiha Brat, the blue glow of her chakra visible as she worked to stabilize him. Naruto knowing that Sasuke was now in the of best hands, did what any reasonable physically and emotionally drained teenager would... he passed out. Tsunade looked over at her favorite Brat before turning back the raven haired young man under her care.
Itachi Uchiha was Dead.
Sasuke Uchiha was Back
You couldn't keep something like that quiet no matter how much you tried, and Tsunade sure and hell had tried. But there were just too many people involved for it to remain a secret for long. Best she could do at this point was keep him in isolation under guard. Not so much to keep the injured and unconscious young man there, he certainly wasn't going anywhere soon. But to make sure no one made off with him again or worse harmed him more than he already was.
That Danzo and those 2 old busy bodies had found out and were now in her office demanding answers she didn't have yet just gave her a migraine.
"What have you done with the Uchiha Heir! The Uchiha bloodline is far too precious... He should never have been allowed to become a shinobi in the first place. I have no idea what the 3rd was thinking to allow the only Uchiha we have left.."
"Danzo that is quite enough. He is back, he is safe, and he is strong and skilled fighter. A Shinobi of the Leaf."
"Is he? My reports state he has been..." If Danzo had been a smarter man he might have noticed that the current Hokage was about ready to punch him so hard he would come out the other side of the Hokage monument, 'Honored Elder of the Village' be damned. Gathering the last shred of her sanity Tsunade stopped herself in time. What a shame.
A few ideas of how to reintroduce Sasuke Uchiha To the Hidden Leaf Village with the least complications had already gone thru her mind. She decided then and there that if Naruto believed in Sasuke Uchiha she would too. Especially if it spited Danzo and his cronies. These young Shinobi were the future, all she could really do was nurture them as best she could, and when she couldn't, beat the crap out of them. Now she just had to set her plan in action, starting now. She knew the ANBU scattered around watching and guarding her office could hear every word. People talk even ANBU operatives. Word would start to leak out and once The Uchiha Brat woke up and she announced it officially.. Well half the town would already feel very well disposed to the last Uchiha, at least she hoped so.
"Sasuke Uchiha has been working a classified S level deep undercover mission I assigned to him. Based on everything, he was the logical one to place right under Orichimaru's very nose. And he completed his assignment far and above my expectations. Orochimaru is Dead, as is Itachi Uchiha. Not one but two S-class Criminals on our Roster dealt with." That Danzo looked like he was about to have a seizure gave Tsunade no end of satisfaction. "So if you'll excuse I have a lot of paperwork to catch up on. Shizune, please escort our esteemed elders out." Shizune who up to this point had been looking at Tsunade like she had grown a 3rd eye. Just nodded and left with the three elders following behind her out the door.
"Well looks like paperwork can actually come in handy sometimes,...now where's that bottle of sake. Ah, there you are. Old farts give me a migraine every damn time."
Sasuke Uchiha was Back
Not that he knew it yet of course. The only time he had regained even partial consciousness was when Naruto had first gotten to him after his fight with Itachi had ended. The first 3 days he was back in Konoha he was pretty much comatose, by the fourth while not yet awake he had started to dream.
Most were just reliving all that had happened with Itachi. Or the years of training and suppressing all emotions but hate he spent with Orochimaru. But there were those few, those bright few spots in his dreams that were not so dark. Those bright spots were filled with a girl who had bubble gum hair and emerald eyes, a tall slender silver haired one eyed Jonin and the brightest of all, a certain knuckleheaded Dobe with sunshine hair and sky blue eyes, who never gave up on him. These were his Precious People, the ones he thought he had buried the of memories of so deep, just for the sake of revenge, that they would never resurface. But his subconscious knew better, and was busy bringing it all back to the surface while he slept.
Sasuke Uchiha was Back
For a certain young emerald eyed Kunoichi with bubble gum hair it was supposed to be a dream come true. Naruto had kept his promise of so many years ago and had brought Sasuke back. Sakura clenched her fists not really knowing how to feel right now. Was she happy, well of course! Sasuke was back, Team 7 would be together again. She had just left Tsunade-sama's Office, where the blonde 5th Hokage had filled her and Naruto in on her plan to reinstate Sasuke back into the Leaf Village with as little trouble as possible. Honestly Sakura thought it was brilliant, worthy of any Nara. Not only would Sasuke not be ostracized by the villagers as a returning traitor would have been. He was would be considered a hero even.
But...could they really just pick up where they left off as if nothing had happened? The average Villager would accept the Hokage's story at face value, even most of the shinobi would even. But there were those like herself, Naruto, Kakashi and perhaps a couple of others who knew different. Like Sai and Yamato, they had been there, they had seen everything in fact, that time Sakura had seen Sasuke for the first time in 3 years.
There he had stood looking over them, looking like a young God. So Damn beautiful it hurt Sakura to even breathe. She had stood there with her heart thudding in her ears, just staring at him, not saying a word. But he, that young God above her had only eyes for one in their group. Naruto. His Rival, his Enemy, his Best Friend, and the only one with power enough to attract the attention of that spectacular being. The only one worthy enough to talk to on that fateful day. Her dream boy had turned into a man. So she only watched as he spoke to Naruto, then in flash he was there, just inches from the blonde shinobi a seemingly lazy arm draped over his shoulder as he pulled the whisker marked face closer to his. Still she just stared and watched as her two Teammates faced each other. Too soon it was over, and Sasuke was gone, left with Orochimaru and Kabuto.
Did she really know Sasuke anymore? Had she ever? Naruto believed in him, that she knew without a doubt. Sasuke was still the most beautiful person she had ever seen. But she felt that Naruto had more claim to him than anyone else, and Sasuke in return had only ever noticed and paid attention to the blonde. In the end she decided... she would be there for both of them. They were her friends and teammates.
Idly she wondered if Tsunade-sama would let her visit and bring some flowers to Sasuke. She wished someone would look at her the way Sasuke had look at Naruto.
Sasuke Uchiha was Back
Bastard should have to clean his own damn house! Why the hell had Grandma Tsunade dumped this on him? What the fuck, he was a Ninja not a housekeeper. Fucking Asshole, better appreciate this. He swore to god, as he scrubbed the seemingly never-ending floors of the Uchiha mansion, that he was never EVER, going to promise to do 'Anything you ask' ever again. Stupid Old Hag probably would have saved the Bastards life anyway.
AN: Yes plenty of Angst ahead for everyone... How can there not be. But humor as well, it is Naruto we're talking about here.
