The power of Chakra

A distant figure emerged from the shadows, on an unusually cold night for the middle of summer the very stars themselves were hidden from view. Everything about this night was shrouded in mystery.

The watchmen had spotted this figure about 50 meters from their positions and were surprised; with their skills spotting someone should have been done with ease from at least 200 meters away. Alerted by this sudden apparition they waited for the stranger to become closer and discover the identity of this mysterious person. Near enough now the watchman could determine that this was only a young child their guard relaxed slightly. The child's face could not be seen for a hood shaded the view from prying eyes, right before the destination was met; for it had become clear that the village was their intended target the figure stopped moving. Waiting, waiting but nothing the child had not moved unable to handle anymore one of the men ran out to the young one. Mind racing at the thought of someone so young out all alone in the middle of the night. As he reached his target "littleone, little one are you alright?" he asked in an urgent voice, waiting silently for a reply but not a single sound came from the child.

Perhaps this child cannot talk or has been through a great deal and does not wish to speak at the present moment were the thoughts rushing around in the watchman's head. The question repeated again not expecting anything different from before the man was genuinely shocked as a pale hand glowing in the moons bright light, pointed towards the village.

"Lord Hokage, lord hokage is it true? Really? It's all over the village, I would never have believed something like this would happen, can we see?" all the men and woman of konaha were excited something like this didn't happen every day. The third hokage was a man past his prime but the most respected and beloved man in the village. He was happy the war had now come to an end, and finally peace could once again be felt. Although he was happy at this development something was weighing heavily on his mind. A young child had come in the middle of the night and had said nothing upon arriving at the village. A deep sigh passed through the man's lips what was he to do; this thought passed briefly though his mind. Everything had been done but the child would not say a word.

Today was especially sunny, the sky was a magnificent blue and laughter could be heard all around. It seemed as though the world was smiling down on konaha, but there was one boy who was not happy. One glance told you that something had upset him by the looks of the situation it was another boy around his age. These boys were as different as day and night one pale skinned with jet black hair and eyes pitch black and dressed to match. The other bright blond hair, blue eyes that seemed to reflect the sky itself, slightly tanned and one very unusual feature three whisker shaped marks down each side of his face.

These two boys seemed to be in an argument the darker one seemed to be slightly annoyed but also very smug about something. The brighter boy was very angry and every word he spoke got louder and more frustrated. Finally the darker one chuckled and walked off while the brighter boy jumped and howled in frustration, then reached down to his shrunken holder and launched a surprise attack at the other boy. The so called victim merely chuckled again and easily deflected the attack, he then turned to the brighter boy and said "do you think that pitiful attack could beat me" then he disappeared. "Sasuke" the brighter boy yelled but to no advantage, all of a sudden the boy turned as though he sensed danger, fear spreading through his body as trickles of sweat poured down his face.

It was over in a mere instant a flash of pink was all he saw, and the next thing he knew he was lying face down in the ground metres from his last standing position. If he didn't leave now he was done for.

"Naruto" a girl screamed at him, maybe he could pled with her but that wouldn't work it never did. What else was there to do if something wasn't done soon he was in for a world of hurt,

"Sakura Chan please."

"How dare you attack Sasuke Kun when his back is turned?"

Was all he heard before a fist slammed into him and sent him flying. "CHA serves him right next time he'll know better" her inner spirit cried. With that thought she left running after sasuke.

The boy now known as naruto was pulling himself up "Ouch" he cried tsunade had trained her well too well in his opinion; she was now a lethal weapon. He had to be more careful around her especially when it came to sasuke.

As soon as this thought came, naruto started laughing although it hurt to do so he couldn't stop. Naruto had just realised they had just had another pointless argument, it filled him with joy he had missed them. Things were starting to feel normal again as though the past three years were all a dream. Suddenly the laughter stopped and pain swirled around his heart, all the memories of those he had lost and all they had suffered came flooding back to him. Finally what everyone had worked so hard to achieve had been sat down head held in his arms the pain becoming too much, he had not allowed himself to get lost in the past for finding Sasuke and bringing him home, is what they had worked so hard for. His feelings were so mixed together one part of him was overwhelmed with joy while the other consumed with grief and gratitude.

How long he sat there he did not know as he started to come away from his thoughts he noticed his cheeks were wet, tears falling from his eyes this was surprising he had been crying and hadn't even realised. Finally these feelings that had been pushed down inside had broken free. The pressure around his heart eased, Naruto knew that everyone would not want him to sit around and cry. They had done this for him everyone who had helped him just wanted him to be happy. Suddenly naruto felt so loved more so then ever before in his life a smile broke out across his face. The Sadness in his heart was still there but hope and love had started to heal those wounds. His next thoughts went to sasuke "damn that teme making me get all upset I'll get him back"as this thought went through his mind he gave a small laugh.

"Aww did I make the poor little dobe upset how sad" said a familiar voice followed by a chuckle.

As naruto turned his fear come to pass the last person he wanted to see him crying was sasuke and he must have said his thoughts out loud, which just made it even worse. Sasuke was never going to let him live this down but wait how long had he been standing there? After a few moments of silence Naruto spoke up "Sas... sasuke how long have u been standing there?" he asked surprised

"Hmm" was all he said as he paused to think "not long I just had to see what the little dobe was so upset about" with sarcasm in every word.

"Ahh don't call me that teme".

"well then stop being such an idiot, man your annoying I'm on my way home and I see you crying in the middle of the street"sasuke exclaimed with a sigh

"shut-up this has nothing to do with you it's none of your business now get lost" naruto cried back "but I thought I was the reason you were crying isn't that what you said?" sasuke proclaimed in a smug voice.

"Yeah the sight of your ugly face would make anyone cry".

"whatever there's no point in wasting my breath on a dobe like you especially with your face the way it is I thought it was bad before but now it's unbearable I'd rather see you with your stupid grin then looking so pitiful I'm leaving" sasuke answered with a bored tone.

"Fine with me I can't stand the sight of your face either and don't think of coming back" just as naruto had said these words sasuke had already left.

Naruto stood up he had stopped crying, getting so worked up by sasuke had made him forget that he was upset. He smiled a shy smile did sasuke do it on purpose maybe to make him feel better, well even if he didn't Naruto was still grateful. As naruto starting walking home something was bugging him, sasuke seemed as though he was trying to tell him something but he couldn't figure out what it was. It probably wasn't that important anyway, and with that thought he walked home; feeling happy and hungry the first thing he was going to do when he got home was eat some ramen. Or he might just go out to ichiraku's; after all he could always use more cheering up with that thought in his mind he left.

All was silent on that street with naruto gone it was empty, but everything could be seen as a pair of eyes watched all. "Naruto uzumaki an interesting subject one would have to agree" a man's voice from the shadows proclaimed "yes very interesting watch him for now; then we will decide what to do later he may be the one we have been looking for" a girl ordered "of course" the man replied and with those final words the street was once again silent and empty.
