Naruto: The Reunion:
Sasuke stands at the gates to Konoha. He looks up at the sky, towards the Hokage's office. The streets are packed with people. Konoha hadn't changed one bit since his last visit, which was over 4 years ago.
Has flashback, Sakura-chan is crying, begging him not to leave. He sees himself knock her unconscious, and then walking off into the night.
Now he is back in Konoha. His eyes shifting from left to right, as he walks towards the Hokage's office. He doesn't recognise anyone. Nobody is stopping and staring. Apparently they don't know who he is… Not even the guards at the entrance questioned him. He scans everyone he passes with his cold black eyes. Not looking for anyone in particular…?
Pink!. His eyes freeze. He turns his head, slowly. In that instant he knew. Long Pink hair, short pink/red ninja outfit. It was her. The girl that he had secretly loved. The girl that had begged him not to leave! His comrade that he had left in such a depressed state. Sasuke whispers, "Haruno…, Sa-ku-ra". She had not heard nor noticed him, for she did not stop to greet him. She continued down the street, buying supplies and browsing merchandise.
Sasuke follows her from a distance. Observing her every move. Where could she be going? He wonders. She is making her way into the forest. Sasuke follows her more intently; puzzled about where she is taking all of the supplies she carries. Just ahead of them is a clearing. Sakura stops a few trees before the clearing. She is talking to someone. Sasuke can't make out who it is from such a far distance. He jumps from tree to tree, to get closer. He freezes on a nearby branch.
Sasuke drops down from the tree. "Gasp", Sakura slowly turns her head.
Sasuke: "Grasp". "Cling".
Before Sasuke knew what was happening, he had drawn his blade. Instinctively. He is now face to face with a young, paled face man. He holds his blade firmly, defending himself from the ninja's kunai.
Sasuke whispers, "This pale face, could it be…, Sai?"
They both lower their weapons.
"What's up…, Sakura-chan?"
"Sasuke! It's…, it's really you!?" Sakura frowns, "You haven't come here to kill Naruto, have you?"
Sasuke laughs, "Hahahahahaa…, now why would I do that? To assist in the extraction of the Kyubi maybe? Sakura…, I thought you would have realised by now, that I am not part of the Akatsuki group."
Sakura yells, "Then…, then why have returned…, on your own will?"
"Because…, I have accomplished my purpose in life! I have avenged my parents and my clan's death's. And now…, I stand here, before you" Sasuke exclaims in a calm voice.
Saukra yells, "Then tell me this, WHY DID YOU LEAVE US!? WE ONLY WANTED TO HELP YOU! DO YOU THINK AVENGING YOUR PARENTS DEATH'S WAS GOING TO SERVE ANY PURPOSE!?"
Sakura sobs (tears rush down her soft cheeks, and glisten in the sunlight)
Sasuke looks sad, "Sakura-chan…, I…, I DID IT BECAUSE… I LOVE YOU!"
"Gasp", Sakura-chan looks up at Sasuke…
