Sasuke sighed. He had killed his brother, and while he was still in a daze his feet had brought him back to Konaha village.

Sasuke Uchiha had black hair. His blue shirt seemed two sizes too big, and on the back was the symbol of the Uchiha clan. The symbol looked like a white fan with a one inch red edge on the top part. Sasuke's hands were shoved into the pockets of his grey-white shorts as usual. On the outside, he seemed like a normal, good looking, sixteen year old. But he had always stored hate for his brother Itachi, now that he didn't have to think of Itachi all he could think of was going back to Konoha.

He looked up at the tall wooden gate of the leaf village. It felt so unwelcoming to him. After all, three years ago he had betrayed this village to join forces with Orochimaru, whom now was also dead by Sasuke's own hands. Sasuke was only here for one reason alone. 'Naruto,' he thought, 'he probably would rather see me dead.' The thought was unbearable to Sasuke as he frowned. Maybe being here was a bad idea.

Well, all the same he was here. He slowly walked into the village. He walked by familiar buildings, such as Ichiraku's ramen hut

'Tch… that's the dobe's favorite place to eat.' Sasuke couldn't understand why people like that stuff, it was always too salty. Sasuke looked up and saw the familiar mountain with five faces carved into it. Those were the five Hokages of the leaf village. Last Sasuke looked at this mountain Tsunade's head still wasn't up there. The Hokage of the village is a person the villagers look up to for guidance and protection. Also, they are the best ninja's of the village.

Sasuke only just realized the villagers. They all looked terrified as they saw him. A mother quickly rushed her child out of the street to get away from him. 'Can't blame them,' he thought smugly.

Out of the corner of Sasuke's eyes he caught the sight of a girl. Her hair was blue and curly. She wore a green and gold dress along with matching flip-flops. Sasuke moaned inside his head, 'Oh no, not a fan girl. I forgot about those obsessive girls.'

Back when Sasuke was training here there was a club of girls always following him around and trying to be his girlfriend. The girl looked up from her shopping and her eyes widened as she saw Sasuke. She instantly ran in the opposite direction to get far away from him. Sasuke's face was emotionless; after all he kept as much of his emotions to himself as possible so no one could read him, 'glad to know the fans won't be bothering me. Well, I'd better tell the Hokage I'm here before someone else does.'

Tsunade sat in her great desk filled with paper work as a knock came to the door. "Come in." said Tsunade tiredly. Tsunade was a blonde woman. She wore her hair in two ponytails and had a red dot on her forehead. She looked fairly young for being a Hokage, but don't let that fool you; she was always using her chakura to disguise her image and make her look young still. Tsunade had been dealing with a band of mist ninja's all day that were threatening Konaha, and now there was yet another person at her door. She looked up to see the young Uchiha, now standing in the doorway. He looked quite smug for being on Tsunade's wanted list. Her expression changed from annoyed to extreme anger.

"What the hell are you doing here Uchiha!?" She grumbled through clenched teeth. The air was now tense with the anger as Sasuke glared back.

"I have killed Uchiha Itachi and wish to reclaim my residence here in Konaha." He said coldly.

"State your purpose in this village. I am sure you are not likely to just sit calmly here in this quiet village." Tsunade replied, wishing she could just turn him down already.

"I wish to join the Anbu as an apology of the past events and crimes I have committed to Konaha, as long as I'm aloud to live here again."

'What is this boy planning?' Tsunade thought, she kept trying to read his movement and emotions but the problem was there was none for her to read. She couldn't get a hint of threats from him to turn him down. Tsunade sighed, "I'll have to converse with the elders about your offer." Sasuke gave a small smirk; he knew he had the Hokage beat at the moment. "I will go to my old residence and wait there for your answer than Hokage… Sama." He had hesitated on the title; he didn't know what to call her now that he didn't truly belong at all. Before Tsunade could get any angrier with him he left the place.

'Yeah I'll go straight home… after a small detour,' Sasuke thought to himself as he steered toward Naruto's house. He wanted to see Naruto, and also see the reaction of Sasuke's presence. He finally arrived at Naruto's house and knocked. Through the door he could hear lots of clatter and a shout, "Coming! Hold on!" Naruto was excited, it was rare to get a visitor lately, and he had gotten lonely.The door opened; there stood the dumbfounded blonde once he saw Sasuke.

Naruto had short, blonde, spiky hair. Of course he had a similar forehead protector as Sasuke wrapped around his own forehead. Unlike Sasuke's darker colors, Naruto wore bright orange. Both his pants and his jacket were orange, although the shoulders of his jacket were a darker blue. Naruto's jacket was unzipped today, revealing a black tank top underneath. Naruto looked like he had just gotten out of bed.

'S…Sasuke? Why is he here!?' Naruto's mind began to race the moment he saw Sasuke.

Sasuke gave a small smirk, "you just going to stare at me or are you going to let me in?" He said calmly.

Naruto shot back to reality, "what are you doing here Teme!?" He brought up his fists, ready for an attack.

'What a dobe. He thinks I would walk into Konoha to hurt him.' "There is no need Naruto. I'm not here to fight you." Sasuke sighed.

Hesitantly Naruto lowered his ready fists. "Why should I trust you? You left us all behind. You hurt Sakura and everyone else when you left." 'Especially me,' Naruto thought to himself.

"I'm here to apologize for all of that." Sasuke spoke quietly.

"S…Sasuke please… please go… I need to be alone." Naruto looked so sad and helpless to Sasuke. He hadn't even told Naruto anything yet.

He nodded, "Okay Naruto. I'll leave." He left silently for his home.

Naruto stood in the doorway, shocked. 'What had just happened? Was Sasuke really back? Was he just going to hurt me again?' After all that happened, Naruto quietly had feelings for Sasuke... feelings he wouldn't tell a soul, and now Sasuke was back in town. It both scared and excited Naruto.

After a while Naruto slowly closed the door and made some ramen to try to forget about Sasuke.

Sasuke arrived at his own home. It was huge for only one person living in it. Not that anyone had touched the place in three years.

Sasuke walked to his room. It felt like ages since he had been here, but it was nice to be at his familiar sanctuary. This was where he spent hours thinking of Naruto and what it would be like living with him.

Sasuke flopped onto his giant, comfy bed. 'I didn't even need this huge bed, why did I buy it? I wanted to tell Naruto of Itachi's death too.' He thought to himself. As he lay in his bed and slowly drifted to sleep.
