Well, I was able to remember some things about this story plot. I was able to get it all together to make the first chapter. So here it is.

Please enjoy.

All seemed quiet in the open field. A small breeze drifted over the grass as it danced with the flow. A small group of rabbits hopped around the field, enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Suddenly, a large fireball hit a patch of grass right by the rabbits. In panic, the rabbits hopped away fast as ever. Two figures slammed into each other repeatedly as they moved around the field.

Sasuke and Naruto clanged swords at each other while running around the field, taking advantage of the large amount of space they were able to use. As Sasuke made a swipe at Naruto's legs, Naruto jumped and flipped over him, landing several feet away.

Naruto made five hand seals, preparing for a jutsu. Dog, Snake, Monkey, Ox, Tiger. "Magen: Jubaku Satsu(Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Death)!" Behind Sasuke, tree roots began to sprout from the ground and wrap themselves around Sasuke's body, removing movement. Naruto then charged at Sasuke, but this was countered when Sasuke activated his Sharingan. "Kyōten Chiten(Mirror Heaven and Earth Change)." Suddenly, Naruto found himself in the same situation as Sasuke, but Sasuke was now free from the roots. As Naruto tried to break free from the grasped, Sasuke charged at him. "Fuuton: Bugu no Tanken(Wing Release: Armour of Daggers)!" Naruto's body began to ignite in a whirling flow of wind chakra. The chakra cut through the roots and freed Naruto from the bind.

Naruto dashed right under Sasuke as he dodged a swipe of his sword. Now, with the two of them standing apart once more they prepared for a powerful jutsu. Naruto brought his right hand forward while Sasuke brought his left hand forward. They summoned their own variation of element chakra; wind for Naruto and lightning for Sasuke.

"Fuuton: Rasengan!"

"Chidori!"

The two charged at eachother, but at the moment they were about to make contact.

"Stop!"

The two stopped in their tracks, looking over to where it came from.

"Ok, that went well." Tsunade came out from the trees, followed by several jounin who were also hiding in the trees. Jiraiya jumped from the top of the trees, where he was sitting. "Well, I think we went through everything; use of taijutsu, genjutsu, and ninjutsu. You two can go home now. I'll have your results later today, come by my office in an hour or so."

The two fighters canceled their jutsus, the powerful chakras in their hands faded away little by little until there was nothing left.

"Sasuke, I was hoping to see you use that special jutsu during the exam." Jiraiya said.

"I guess I didn't think about it." Sasuke replied.

Ever since Sasuke had shown his new jutsu, the Chi goendori(One Thousand Phoenix), Tsunade and Jiraiya had been very impressed with Sasuke's strength.

...Flashback...

Sasuke and Naruto stood in Tsunade's office with her and Jiraiya in the room as well.

"I've been meaning to ask you." Tsunade turned to the raven-haired shinobi, "That jutsu you used to kill Orochimaru, show it to me."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

"Alright." Sasuke made the proper seals for the jutsu. With his left hand out and his right grasping the wrist, he channeled his lightning chakra. With his right hand, he channeled his fire chakra into the lightning. The two different elements formed the same bladed weapon that killed the now deceased snake Sannin.

"This is very interesting." Tsunade said, examining the jutsu.

"What's so special about it?" Naruto asked.

"It's not common for a shinobi to be able to combine two different elements together like this." Jiraiya said, "I'm sure you learned about kekkei genkai."

"Yeah, like Mokuton and the Sharingan." Naruto said, remembering his history of things he learned.

"Well, if you remember, kekkei genkai like Mokuton is the fusion of two different chakra elements. It's almost impossible to do without a kekkei genkai. Using two different elements at the same time but separately, that's an exception."

After having a hard look at the jutsu, Tsunade was stumped. "I just don't get it. I've seen Uchihas able to use more than two different elements, but I've never seen something like this. You can stop it now."

Sasuke closed his hand into a fist and let the chakra fade away. The fire from the jutsu first faded, which suddenly got Jiraiya's attention. "Wait, look."

Everyone looked at what Jiraiya was pointing at.

"What are we looking for?" Tsunade asked.

"Did you see what just happened?" Jiraiya asked, "The fire went out first."

Seeing the jutsu fade, he was right. The fire faded away, leaving the lightning, then it too later faded.

"What does that mean?" Naruto asked.

"This isn't kekkei genkai." Jiraiya said, "It's just chakra control. Sasuke created a a layer of fire over the chidori."

"Huh?" Naruto was still confused at the part of what was so important of the fire fading away from the jutsu first.

Oh boy, how do I explain it to him? Jiraiya sighed, "Alright, think of this as ice cream. You've got the cone, and then you have the ice cream in it."

"...ok..."

"The ice cream isn't mixed with the cone, but its still there. That's how this jutsu works. The lightning is the ice cream and the cone is the fire covering it." Jiraiya finished explaining. Was that too much for him?

"Oh..now I get it." Naruto said with a looked of sudden realization, "Like how my Rasengan works with the wind element."

Jiraiya and Tsunade stared at the blonde. 20 years old and he still has the knowledge of a 12 year old.

...End...

"Well, that's enough for today." Tsunade said, "I've got what I wanted to see, you two can go home now."

"Well, I think that went well." Naruto said proudly. "And it was kinda fun."

The two were walking down Konoha, heading through the marketplace.

"You still never told me why you needed to take the exam." Sasuke said, "Sakura told me you already became a jounin."

"Well apparently, Baa-chan said that since I took my Jounin Exam without Konoha jurisdiction, I wasn't officially a jounin." Naruto answered his question, "She was meaning to have me take the exam sooner, but missions kept getting in the way."

"Well, I guess that makes sense." Sasuke said. He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was starting to set, "Listen, I gotta go shopping before heading home. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Alright." Naruto smiled to his friend. The two parted ways, with Sasuke staying behind at the marketplace and Naruto heading back home. When he made it home, he was greeted by his 'roommate'.

"Naruto-kun, how was it?" Hinata asked. She was sitting on the couch reading a small book.

"Wasn't anything like the Jounin Exam I took when I was gone." Naruto said. He sighed heavily and fell onto the couch next to her. He then fell back and rested his head on her lap. "So, what were you up to while I was gone?"

"Just did some cleaning." Hinata said. She gently stroked his hair. It was a little sticky from sweat, but she didn't care. As long as it was Naruto, she didn't care about any flaws he had. "Oh, and Sakura came by a few minutes ago."

"Really? What did she want?" Naruto asked.

"Well, she asked if you were back from the exam." Hinata said, "She wanted to find Sasuke and ask him something."

"About what?"

"The festival tomorrow night. She wants to know if he's coming."

"Why can't you come?" Sakura asked with a frown. She had found Sasuke at the marketplace, going from store to store purchasing items. "It would mean the world to me."

"I'm really sorry Sakura, but I still have to serve time." Sasuke said. "I'm under house arrest until the Hokage says I'm free." He looked over his shoulder and saw an ANBU standing on the rooftop staring down on him. "I've got ANBU watching me constantly, even when I'm taking a bath, they're there to make sure I don't do anything stupid. I'm not even allowed on missions."

"Then how were you able to go with that mission to get Zabuza's sword back?"

"Naruto begged to have me join." Sasuke said, "I'm really sorry, but I can't be out of my house after 7." He looked at his watch, "Sorry, but I gotta get back."

"Wait, why are you outside in the first place?" Sakura asked, pointing a finger at him.

Sasuke lifted his arm and showed her a bag of groceries. "I need my daily supply of food."

Naruto walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He had gone into the bathroom a few seconds ago and was now out to grab something from the bedroom. As he came into the room, he saw that Hinata was there as well. She was dressed in her nightgown, a pale blue dress that was supported with spaghetti straps.

"Oh, Naruto-kun, look at yourself." Hinata walked up to him and placed her hands over his chest, "You hurt yourself."

"It's a Jounin Exam, you knew I would go through with this." Naruto said, "But I'll be fine." He reached for her left strap and pulled them over her shoulder.

"Not now Naruto-kun. I'll have to shower too then." Hinata said.

"Then take it with me." Naruto grinned. He then reached for the right and let that drop too. He then gently pulled her dress down to drop on the floor, leaving Hinata in only her panties. Lifting her up in his arms, he carried her to the bed. As the two laid on the bed, they kissed each other while they wrapped themselves around each other.

Naruto woke up alone in his bedroom, Hinata wasn't with him sleeping. He looked to her pillow and saw that she had left a note.

Went to practice dancing with Sakura for the talent show earlier than expected. Hope you didn't forget about meeting us.

Love, Hinata.

Naruto looked at the clock. It was now 1:22 pm. He was supposed to meet them half an hour ago. In panic, he jumped out of bed and got washed up as quickly as he could. With everything ready, he ran out of his home and off to meet with the girls. Naruto ran through the forest. Of all days... He had promised that he would meet with Hinata and Sakura and watch them practice for the Konoha Talent Show. It was bad enough that Naruto slept in today, but it was worse since he didn't remember where to find those two. He carried two bags with him, being as gentle as he could while he ran.

"Come on, I need to get this right." He heard Sakura's voice to his left. He ran in that direction and sure enough, he found them.

"Sorry I'm late." Naruto panted, "I was..."

"If you're gonna say you saw a black cat, then I don't want to hear it." Sakura said, "You're just lucky I'm in a good mood."

"So, how's the dance coming?" Naruto asked.

"It's getting better." Sakura smiled, "I'm just adding some finishing touches."

"Where did Hinata go?" Naruto asked.

"Neji came to say that her father wanted to see her so she left early." Sakura said. "I think I can take a break for now." Sakura slumped to the ground, "I've been practicing for two hours now."

"Well that's good to know." Naruto smiled. He showed her the bags. "Because I brought lunch."

The two enjoyed some time together, eating lunch and basking under the sunlight. They shared some conversations and laughs as they let the time pass by while they ate. Sakura packed her lunch away when she noticed a leaf fall from the tree above.

"Hey, this is perfect." Sakura took the leaf.

"Perfect for what?" Naruto asked.

Sakura pressed the leaf to her mouth and began to blow into it. A soft note came from the leaf that filled the place with a light graceful feeling.

"How'd you do that?" Naruto asked, "That was awesome."

"You've never played on a leaf before?" Sakura asked. "Here, let me show you." She looked around the ground for another leaf. "Ah, here's one. Here take this." She handed the leaf to Naruto. "Now position your hands on the leaf like this, and press it to your mouth." She showed Naruto how to hold the leaf properly to get a good sound. "When you're ready, just blow."

Naruto did as she said, but all he got was the sound of air coming out of his lips. "Its not working."

"Keep trying." Sakura said.

Naruto took a deep breath, pressed the leaf to his lips and released the air out. He began to get a sound from it, but it was too quiet. He tried to move the leaf to a better place on his lip to get a better sound and finally, he got a soft note.

"You did it!" Sakura cheered.

"Well, looks like you've been preparing."

The two looked over and saw Tsunade approaching them. "Naruto, you never told me you played the leaf before."

"I..."

"Never mind, I'm sure you'll do fine." Tsunade smiled, "Since you didn't inform me before, I'll have to put your name in the program."

"For the Talent Show?" Naruto asked, "But..."

"Don't worry, its not too late to enter." Tsunade said, "I'll have Tenten know about this right away. But first, Sakura, I need you at the hospital. Lee's injured himself again in training."

"Hai." Sakura said, "I'll see you tonight."

"But wait." Naruto got up to run to the two women, but they disappeared in the trees, "I...just started...playing the leaf..." He dropped to the ground, "Crap."

The night came. The day to celebrate the day Konoha was founded began. Citizens gathered in the central area of the village to take part in the celebration with all of them dressed up formally for such an occasion. A large stage was set up at one end with lights and decorations all over it. Within hours of the celebration, the Talent Show was soon to commence.

"Welcome to this years Konoha Anniversary." Tsunade spoke on the stage, "Today is a great day to be joyous. For it is the day our village was created for our families to live in with peace."

The villagers cheered with loud cries of joy.

"And I would now like to introduce you all to tonights Talent Show. We have performers with extraordinary talents that show to us all." Tsunade spoke again, "And now, we begin!"

"What am I gonna do, what am I gonna do, what am I gonna do..." Naruto paced around the floor backstage. How could he have ended up in this situation. He only learned to play the leaf this afternoon and now he's on stage ready to perform it to all of Konoha. He peered out to see what was happening now. Konohamaru was showing off his talents with a shadow clone by juggling. Naruto smiled at this, but it wasn't enough to shake the fear off of him.

"Alright Naruto, you're up next." Tenten came backstage.

"But I can't do this." Naruto said.

"Well, you put your name on the program for a reason." Tenten said.

"But I didn't Baa-chan did. She's the one who..."

"Sorry no time." Tenten grabbed Naruto and pulled him to the stage, "You're up." She gave Naruto a heavy push and sent him on stage.

Naruto stared at the crowd. They were all looking at him, just waiting for something. Somebody please help me. Naruto held onto the leaf and looked down at it. What's the worse that could happen if he screws up? They can't hate him for being bad, could they? Naruto was now more panicked. "Please help me..." He whispered to himself. Suddenly, something played in his head as he looked at the leaf. Very faintly, he could hear a tune in his mind playing softly and gracefully. Naruto brought the leaf to his lips and took a deep breath. With the tune still in his mind, he blew on the leaf.

Everyone who had been watching were now enchanted by the wonderful tune that Naruto was playing. They all smiled as if they were now dreaming a perfect dream as the music played. Among them, Jiraiya watched in surprise as he heard the tune. To him, it was familiar. How did he...

Far from the place of the event, Sasuke was alone in his bedroom with nothing to do. He then heard that everything was silent except for a soft tune. He got out of bed and walked to his window. He ignored the ANBU who was standing outside and looked ahead to where everyone else was. The music was so amazing, Sasuke was surprised that he was able to hear such great music at this distance.

Naruto finally ended the music and removed the leaf away from his lips. He stared at the people who were watching him, they were all silent. Was that bad? Suddenly, they all erupted into cheers. Naruto bowed and walked backstage

Sakura and Hinata arrived backstage to see Naruto.

"Naruto, that was incredible." Sakura said.

"I didn't know you could play the leaf." Hinata said. She looked concerned when Naruto didn't answer right away. "Naruto-kun, what's wrong."

"Hinata...I've never played the leaf before." He answered, "This was the first time I've ever played a tune with a leaf."

"Then, how did you play like that?" Hinata asked.

"I don't know."

"Its not the first time I heard it." Jiraiya said, walking to the group.

"Huh? You've heard it before?" Naruto asked. "Where?"

"With your father." Jiraiya answered, "He created that tune. He made it for you."

"For me? Why?"

"Its your lullaby."

Well, glad that's done with.

I hope this answers your questions regarding Sasuke. When I said the 'Tsunade pulled strings' to allow Sasuke to attend Neji and Tenten's engagement dinner, I didn't mean drop all charges. He still needs to serve time.

From when this story takes place, its now 9 months later, so Sasuke has been under house arrest for a whole year.

Hope you liked it, please review.
