Summary: Summary: After all this time, Sasuke has returned from his mission away from home as the Konoha spy for Orochimaru and Akatsuki. How does team 7 react? More importantly, how does Sakura react? SasuSaku. Slight NaruHina.

A/N: Ok, so this is what I came up with just randomly one day… Here goes….

Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto I don't think I would be writing this…

Prologue:

In the middle of nowhere was a man. He stood erect on a natural rock overhang, above a lone desert canyon. He was alone, other than the magnificent hawk circling above his ebony spikes.

A scroll around the hawk's leg caused his curiosity to spark, and he allowed his arm to become a perch for the bird.

Quickly, but gracefully, as the Uchiha always were, he released the seal over the message with ease and rolled out the scroll. His onyx eyes widened with shock as they roved the paper.

Finally, after these long four years of betrayal and lies, he could return. Hebi would be disbanded and he would never have to lay eyes on his troublesome teammates again.

As of this moment, he wouldn't have to hurt his comrades just to pass as Orochimaru's apprentice or Akatsuki's follower. He could train with his old team, and become a loyal ninja of Konoha once more.

He could reunite himself with his family-team 7.

For the first time in four years, Sasuke Uchiha could return home.
