Disclaimer: I do NOT own naruto or any of its characters which is a shame however there maybe some characters that turn up that I have made up.

Ok so this is my very first REAL fanfic so please be kind but constructive criticism is very much welcomed. This is also my very first Sasunaru pairing so please be kind. If you have any ideas please tell me. This might turn out to be a lemon but I'm not so sure. I rated m just incase there is cussing and depressing thoughts. And on to the story.

Naruto was sitting at the training grounds for team seven. It had been two years since Sasuke had left Konaha. Naruto had loved Sasuke and was planning on telling him after the chunin exams but the Orichimaru attacked the village and he got distracted. After the Third's death he was so depressed that he barely thought of telling Sasuke about his feelings. Then Sasuke up and left right when he had been about tell him! Uhhhhhhhhh

He looked up into the midday sky. The sun shown right in his eye, and he didn't expect that. "oww that hurt", he mumbled to himself. This was the exact same day Sasuke left him. He thought that maybe if he had said something to Sasuke that maybe he wouldn't have left.

"Well time to get up", he thought to himself. He slowly stood up. Naruto plastered on a smile on his face. Ok well time to meat up with Kakashi, Sakura, and Sai. He had about 5 minutes to get to the other side of Konoha, but he didn't even bother to rush. Kakashi was already going to be late so he thought that the group could spare him, even if he was late.

Naruto strolled down the streets of Konoha not really even seeing were he was going until he bumped into Hinata. They both fell down on the dirty street. Hinata blushed, as usual, and Naruto just grinned ,like he always did.

"Sorry Hinata-chan. I wasn't really looking were I was going," naruto rubbed the back of his. Damn it really hurt. Hinata looked like she got pushed down pretty hard too

"It's o-ok Naruto-kun," Hinata was blushing like mad now. 'Naruto had actually looked sad for once' she thought to herself.

"Well I better get going I'm supposed to meet my team by Tsunade Baa-chan's office. So I'll see you around some other time," naruto shouted back to her as he started to run to the Hokage's office.

Hinata was still on the ground. She looked confused. Naruto was sad one moment and happy the next. It's like he has mood-swings or something. Hinata got up and strolled the other way. She was on her way to see her team which consisted of Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai as their sensei. They were also supposed to meet today. Kurenai made it sound urgent that they be there last night.

Naruto stopped right in-front of Sakura. He was still grinning madly. Sakura was yelling at him for being late. Saying he was picking up bad habits from Kakashi. She was just yelling and yelling. It was starting to give Naruto a headache. Although he wasn't even really hearing a word she had said. The only reason he could tell she was talking to him was because he saw her mouth moving up and down, up and down.

"Listen Sakura-chan I'm sorry I'm late I just lost track of time, and my excuse is real unlike Kakashi's who makes up stupid excuses," Naruto just sighed. HE really hoped Sakura would stop talking. His felt like it was going to burst.

"Naruto are you ok?" She whispered into his ear. "It looks likes something's wrong."

"I'm fine Sakura. I just need to sit down for a bit." He sat down and leaned his head against the cool building. He closed his eyes; the cool of the building was helping to soothe his aching head. HE took out a bottle of medication and took tow white pills. (no he's not doing drugs their Tylenol). After a few minutes his headache subsided.

Kakashi had just appeared in a cloud of smoke. He was late again! Not that anyone could stop him from breaking this bad habit. Sakura glared at him while Sai and Naruto just looked at him with indifference. Naruto stood up while still looking at Kakashi in the eye. Kakashi knew today wasn't a good day for Naruto. It was the anniversary of Sasuke leaving.

"Well I see you are all here. We are to meet the Hokage in a few minutes to talk to her about at special mission." Here Naruto's ears perked up. "She said it was of utmost importance and requested you three for the job. She also said that there were other people that were going along but she never mentioned it to me. I expect you will be surprised at what the mission is," Kakashi was starring at Naruto the whole time he said his little speech.

Kakashi turned around and walked into the very large building were the Hokage's office was held. The group followed in complete silence wondering what could possibly their mission. They walked up several flights of stairs before they come to the door of the Hokage's office. Kakashi slightly rapped on the door. The door was opened by Shizune, Tsunade's assistant. All of the Chunin walked into the very large office.

"Welcome. I have a very urgent mission that you if you chose to accept might be fatal. This mission is very dangerous and should be given to several jounin to handle, but I decided who better to have on this mission the people who actually knew him. Your mission is to retrieve Sasuke from Orchimaru and bring him back to Konoha. I thought since he was once on your team that you would know him the very best out of all of us. Also the other people that will be going on this mission are Kurenai's team, and a few selected people, who are Neji, Shikamaru, Ino, and Tenten. So do you choose to accept this mission?"Tsunade asked while starring straight at Naruto. She knew this would affect him the most.

Sakura looked at Naruto who was clenching his hands into tight fists. She was about to say that they shouldn't take the mission because she didn't think Naruto could handle Sasuke again. All of a sudden Naruto shouted " Yes we will take the mission. We will get Sasuke back no matter what it takes. He will come back to the village!"

"Naruto are you sure," Sakura asked putting and arm on Naruto's shoulder.

"I will be fine," Naruto stated plainly.
