"Narutooooo!" a girl outside yelled, "Narutoooo!" the voice came once more.
"What...?" asked the sleeping adolescent, lying in his large bed, trying desperately to ignore the girl screaming to him outside.
"Naruto!" she yelled again, banging harshly on his door and knocking a few things on nearby shelves to the floor, smashing a large bowl with many swirls covering its entirety. In a flash, Naruto had leapt from his pit of a bed and rushed into his dim living room, just being touched by the sun. He cradled the remains of the bowl and sighed dejectedly, standing slowly and walking over to the door while rubbing his eyes. He placed the bowl on a nearby table with all of its remnants nearby. He then proceeded over to the door, unhinged the latch and opened it a crack.
A rather pretty pink haired girl stood, irritated, with the sun behind her, shining directly into Naruto's face and dazzling him. The light darkened her angry face, forcing him to cover his eyes and squint. "Ugh..." he breathed, "what are you doing Sakura? I'm not due in Granny Tsunade's office till 9:35-"
"It is 9:35!" she yelled at him, bristling. "Baka!" She smashed him on his head and he leant, dazed, against the door to his apartment. She folded her arms as he recovered. "How long will it take you to be ready?" she asked impatiently, anxious to be gone.
The 16 year old looked down, taking in the fact that all he was wearing was his boxers, and blushed. "Just a few minutes, I'm gonna shower, sorry Sakura!" He flew back into his home swiftly and she heard him running around hastily. She then heard the sound of running water, sighed, and sat down next to the wall of the boy's house, retrieving a kunai from her pouch and sharpening it with her whetstone.
The water cascaded down his body in a torrent, weaving across him like threads and flowing onto the floor of his large shower as he stared with closed eyes at the showerhead. He sighed, turning over in his mind what the Hokage herself might want from him now. Last time she had called him, he had had to clean Katsuyu, which took an entire day, and then Kakashi had gotten him to clean all of the Ninken. At least he had gotten to feel Pakkun's pad, which wasn't as soft as he made it out to be.
Naruto sighed again, thinking. Maybe I have to help Killer Bee again, he thought, tapping his chin. Or maybe I'll have to see Gaara, I haven't spoken to him in a while. Temari and Kankuro too, he wondered for a few moments. Or maybe... he turned the dial with his hand, stemming the flow of water. He emerged from the shower and wiped off the water clinging to his muscled body. He cleaned his tanned face before pulling on his outfit. Soon enough he was back in front of Sakura, tying on his headband. Maybe he's back.
Sakura smirked at him, before she suddenly frowned. "Hurry, you took fifteen minutes! We have to get back to Tsunade-sama!" She ran down the nearby stairs and leapt of into the village. Naruto yawned, checked he had his ninja tool pouch, grabbed his keys, and sprung after her, bounding towards the huge red mansion and preparing to hear Tsunade's mission.
Soon enough, the two of them came to the courtyard in front of the mansion; there they ran inside and up to the large double doors. "Come on!" whispered the pink haired girl, pushing Naruto through the doors. Tsunade was sitting, drinking sake with Shizune, who frowned at the spectacle in front of them; Pakkun and Tonton were attempting to play chess, and Tonton had just checkmated Pakkun using a queen and two rook strategy.
"Ugh..." groaned the dog. "Beaten by an animal..." he huffed, much to Tonton's annoyance. Pakkun waved at Naruto and Sakura, saluted Tsunade and left. The Hokage stood then, wandered over to Naruto in a drunken haze, and clapped him on the shoulder.
"Jiraiya!" she exclaimed, hugging him. "Great to see you, have some sake!" She tried to push the bottle between Naruto's lips, but he pushed it aside, remembering well Jiraiya's funeral. Sakura tried to lead Tsunade back to her desk and, failing that, left her sitting beside it. "What do you want Naruto?" Tsunade suddenly yelled, back to herself... slightly.
"Reporting for duty and ready to accept a mission, Granny-sama!" he proclaimed as she regained her footing and collapsed into her chair.
She pointed at him, still recovering, "Naruto Uzumaki, a mission recently came for you, and only you may go. Take Sakura if you wish, but it involves Sasuke Uchiha."
"Sa-Sasuke!" both he and the pink-haired girl yelled in confused shock. "What's this about?" he asked the large breasted woman.
"Well," she said, retrieving a scroll from the stack on her desk, "Sasuke has been sending requests for weeks... for... well, for the... uh..." She trailed away, looking at the scroll she held in sadness. "The revival of the Uchiha clan. Although impossible, as we would send no women to appease this plan, he did send, in his last message, a note stating simply that he will come to Konoha, hoping to be accepted back after the death of Madara Uchiha and the loss of his assembled team after he broke it apart." She placed the scroll on the desk and looked at Naruto, who stood in surprise, half in shock and half in anger.
"Why have you not told me about this!" he yelled at her angrily as Sakura stood nearby. "He's been messaging Konoha this whole time and you didn't tell me!" He stared at the Hokage in rage as she let out a sigh.
"Can you not understand, Naruto," she laid her hands flat on the desk, "that if we had told you, then you would most certainly have gone after him, and none of us would have been able to stop you. It may have been a trap for the 'Final Jinchuuriki', and our hopes would be dashed for good." Naruto felt guilty; he knew what she said was true, for when it came to Sasuke, his subconscious threw his restraint out the window and he recklessly left, endangering himself and many others in the process.
"I understand, Hokage-sama. If I may, do you know when he will return?" He began shaking, not from anger, but from nervousness at seeing Sasuke after all this time... as a friend.
"He will return within the next hour." She stated simply as she began to fan herself. Shizune had finally finished packing up the chess board and pieces and placed them on Tsunade's desk before Naruto; absorbed with finding Sasuke, Naruto jumped on the desk, knocking chess pieces everywhere, before leaping out of the window behind the desk and out into Konoha. "Front gate!" yelled Tsunade through the window after him, before returning to fanning herself. She noticed Sakura still there, and acknowledged her. "Sakura... why don't you go too?"
"But Hokage-sama, you gave me the mission this morning to travel to Sunagakure... and I will continue that mission." She walked from the room and vanished from sight. Tsunade and Shizune exchanged glances and shrugged, returning to business.
He flew through the air as he approached the huge gate. He landed on the cobbled road, which seemed vacant of people due to the earliness and on account of it being a Sunday. He wandered over to the message station as Kotetsu and Izumo opened it up and welcomed him. "Yo Naruto!" yelled Kotetsu, yawning and preparing to get to work on his daily duties.
"Hey, Izumo, Kotetsu..." Naruto said quietly, under his breath.
"Hm?" they asked him simultaneously, still waking up.
"Someone will be coming to the gate soon, and don't close it when you see who it is... please, for me." he requested, beaming. "Oh, and don't be too surprised at who it is!"
The two ninja glanced at each other before Izumo simply stated, "Sure..." and shrugging. Naruto then leant against the wooden beam for the station and waited patiently, waiting for the inevitable.
After waiting for what seemed like years, a small flare of white could be seen approaching the huge gates from quite far down the dirt road which formed with the cobblestone of the village at the gate. Soon enough the figure could be seen clearly as Sasuke Uchiha, clad all in the original white costume he had worn when Naruto had seen him almost a year before. Naruto stared at his old friend as he calmly made his way to within a few feet of Naruto, keeping his face straight constantly. Suddenly, a grin spread across his face and Naruto ran to him, throwing his arms around him in a declaration of the sheer amount he had missed him by, "Sas... Sasuke." he murmured as Sasuke hugged him back, finally showing affection for the first time in nearly three years.
"Naruto..." Sasuke held Naruto back and stared into his old friend's deep azure eyes and felt their bond restrengthen and form up once more. "I'm glad to be back... I'm glad to see you." He smiled and Naruto smiled; finally, everything was returning to normal. No more Orochimaru, or Akatsuki, or anybody else for that matter. Right now, the world was normal and perfect. Kotetsu stared at Sasuke along with Izumo, well and truly shocked about Sasuke's resurgence.
"Rogue ninja Sasuke Uchiha, why are you within our village?" came a voice, the owner of which became apparent when Kakashi landed lightly a few feet away from Naruto. Already, he had his face mask down and his Mangekyou was active. Sasuke held up his hands to surrender, and his old sensei stared at him. "Sasuke?" he queried, "What are you doing?"
"Surrendering, Kakashi sensei," he stated simply, keeping his hands aloft and closing his eyes as if to completely surrender to Kakashi. His old teacher simply looked at him oddly, pulled up his mask and deactivated his Sharingan. He then whipped out Make-Out Tactics to read again and began reading. After reading a few lines he murmured something only just audible.
"Welcome back, Sasuke." Naruto beamed. He had been standing off the side with Kotetsu and Izumo. Sasuke turned to Naruto and smirked. "Take me to Tsunade," he told Naruto, staring into his eyes once more with his piercing onyx globes. Naruto nodded quickly before leaping off into the village, followed by his best friend.
"What in the Hell just happened!" yelled Kotetsu after a few quiet seconds, scratching his head, incredibly confused. "Hasn't that Sasuke been a missing-nin for about three years... and did he just show up?"
"He has been messaging Hokage-sama, he was expected, and you were expected to greet him. I guess you didn't really get the chance, and I apologise for that... my fault." Kakashi told both Kotetsu and Izumo, before wandering aimlessly into the village which was only just now beginning to fill with life.
Soon enough, Sasuke and Naruto had made their way through all of the necessary protocols to let an 'outside ninja' into the Hokage's mansion. After finally entering, they made their way up to the large doors and walked into her office where she was just starting on an enormous pile of paperwork, already bored. She looked up as they entered, and a look of shock exploded over her face before she had an inner fight with herself, clearly displayed on her contorting face: destroy the idiot, or be happy he's back. Eventually she decided on the latter, for Naruto's benefit. "Welcome back Sasuke. Welcome home." She stood and handed him a new Konoha headband which he took after bowing. "Take a seat, there is much to talk of," she requested, and both boys sat.
After a long discussion of Orochimaru, Akatsuki and other matters, Sasuke and Naruto left her office and stood in the emptying streets, due to the lateness of the hour. "So, Teme?"
"Yes, Dobe?"
"Where do you plan to stay? You know, live?"
"In my home. As I would normally, were things to have had run a different course," Sasuke replied, looking tired. "Anyway Naruto, I need sleep. I'm so tired after the journey and need to discuss with you and Tsunade." Naruto nodded, and they shook hands.
"Great to see you again, Teme," grinned Naruto in happiness.
"You too, Dobe." Sasuke smirked wanly back before they parted ways, heading home for the night.
