~Chapter one~

The moon hung high in the night sky as Naruto was sitting on a tree branch, watching the village he once called home. He didn't want to be there, but he just wanted to see him one last time.

'Kit, are you sure you want to be here? You know how harshly those people treated you. Let's go back now. Forget this disgusting and pathetic village.' Kyuubi growled.

"Just a minute Kyuu-san," Naruto said with a sad smile, "I want to see him before I … Before I go."

'He probably has already forgotten you, kit. Don't keep your hopes up.'

What the fox demon said was probably true. He probably have forgotten. "Alright." Naruto sighed, "Let's go." Just as Naruto was about to turn around, Kyuubi's voice stopped him. 'You said you wanted to see him one last time didn't you?' Naruto answered with a nod, 'well here's your chance.' The blond looked back at the village and smiled as he saw him leaning against the gate walls. "Sasuke!" Naruto whispered. Then his smile faltered as he saw his other ex-teammate walking to Sasuke's side and clung onto his arm. Sasuke just stood there, he didn't push her away or pull away like he usually did. "So he has moved on." Naruto looked away but then looked back at the two, "I wish you two the best. …. Goodbye my love." with that being said, Naruto disappeared as a gentle breeze whirled around him. He didn't see the raven pulling away from the pinkette and walking away.

'Kit.'

"Please don't say anything Kyuu-san." Naruto pleaded as he reappeared at a different village. A village that he had found and saved. It was his village.

"Ah, Naruto-sama." A villager greeted him with a smile, "You're back from your mission already?"

"Please Thatai-san," Naruto insisted, "just Naruto is fine."

"Naruto-sama!" a group of little kids ran over to him and he knelt down to their height. "Good morning everyone! So, has everyone been good while I was out of the village?" Naruto asked. The kids laughed and nodded their heads. "I made this for you Naruto-sama." one of the little girls said as she handed him a box of chocolates. Naruto smiled and accepted it. "Thank you Rina-chan." he ruffled her hair and placed the box to the side as he pulled his snap sac in front of him.

"I brought you each a souvenir like I promised." Naruto said and handed each of them gifts. The girls got twin fans and the boys got wooden kunais. With smiles on their faces, they thanked Naruto and ran off with their new toys. "You spoil them too much Naruto-sama." Thatai said as he stood beside the blond.

"I know," Naruto said, "but they have no one left. When I was their age no one would even spare me a glace. I would've done almost anything just to get their attention, I don't want them to go through the pain that I felt."

"You're a good man Naruto-sama." Thatai said as he placed a hand over Naruto's shoulder, "I knew the moment I saw you that you were the one that was sent to help our run down village. Thank you, Naruto-sama. For you've given our village the hope that we needed."

Naruto smiled and picked up the box of chocolates before walking back to his house at the edge of town. It wasn't really a house, just a small little cottage. Upon opening the door he was greeted by his four year old son.

"Papa! You're home!" Naruto picked his son up and gave him a hug, "Good morning Natsuke."

"Good morning." the raven greeted and Naruto carried him to the couch. "Did you catch any bad guys today?" Natsuke asked.

"No. My mission was only to escort someone to their village." Naruto answered. Natsuke frowned in disappointment but brushed that to the side. "Papa. … did you go see Daddy today?" the raven asked out of the blue. Naruto looked at him in surprise but slowly nodded his head. That's right, Sasuke was the father of the young raven. Natsuke was Naruto's and Sasuke's. Kyuubi gave Naruto the power to reproduce with his mate. he had Sasuke's hair color but he didn't have neither Sasuke's nor Naruto's hair style. His eyes were silver blue and he looked like a mini Sasuke. Which only made Naruto miss the raven even more.

"Was daddy happy to see you?"

"… Yes. He was really happy." Naruto lied. "He said that you need to become a great shinobi one day so you could protect the ones close to you and yourself. So you mustn't let daddy down okay?"

"Okay." Natsuke answered.

"You should be getting to your lessons, now run along."

"But papa," Natsuke whined, "why can't you just teach me?"

"I wish I could. But, … I have a lot of work to do. I'll teach you as soon as I have time okay?"

"You promise?"

"Promise." Naruto said and held his pinky to the little one. Natsuke smiled happily and hooked his pinky with Naruto's. after doing so, he ran off to his practice.

'Kit. … you know you don't have much time left, so why are-?'

"Kyuu-san!" Naruto interrupted, "I don't want him to worry because of me. … I want him to have the joy of life and have no worries. At least … not until I …"

'Kit. We've been over this. If you don't tell him now, he may never forgive you.' Naruto sighed and laid back on the couch. 'If only I could turn back time. I would turn it back to the good old times with me and Sasuke. We were young and had no worries.'

*Flashback*

Five years earlier …..

Naruto let out a soft sigh as he stood in the middle of a little pond. A small waterfall flowing beside it. The pond was a little deep, it reached Naruto's shoulders. Him and his team had just stopped for a break and he took the initiative to was off the dried blood that was over his body. Just as he was in the process of washing himself he felt two warm arms wrap securely around his waist. Surprised, Naruto turned around and sighed in relief to find his raven.

"Don't scare me like that Sasuke."

"You call yourself a shinobi when you can't even sense my presence?" Sasuke mocked as he placed kisses along Naruto's neck. Sending shivers through his body.

"Sasuke!" Naruto pulled away and turned to him, "What if Kakashi-sensei or worst, Sakura-chan sees us?"

"I don't care." he said plainly and pulled the blond into a quick kiss, "I'm not ashamed of you at all."

The blond blushed and turned his face away from Sasuke. "Don't look away." the raven said lovingly, "I want to see you when you're like this. You're really cute."

"Sasuke!" Naruto whined and playfully pushed Sasuke away. When he did, Sasuke suddenly disappeared into the water. Naruto looked around but couldn't see him. "Sasuke?" Naruto started to panic. "Sasuke!" suddenly he felt someone pull him into the water by his legs. He started to thrash around in surprise but relaxed as he felt a pair of lips on his own. Making sure that Naruto had enough air to breathe, Sasuke blew some oxygen into his mouth and continued on with the kiss. Both of them wrapped each other in their arms and held them as tightly as humanly possible.

When air was needed they both emerged to the surface. Still in each other's arms. "I love you Naruto. You do know that right?" Sasuke asked. Naruto blushed and adverted his eyes, "Of course I do. … I love you too. I remember when I confessed to you, … you seemed to be really disgusted. Were you?" Naruto asked as he looked at him.

"No. I'm sorry for doing that though. I thought that you were just pulling my leg or something." Sasuke said and placed a gentle kiss on his blonde's lips.

*End Of Flashback*

Naruto snapped back into reality as he heard a knock at the door. "coming!" Naruto called out and went to open the door. Standing on the other side was one of the villagers.

"Naruto-sama! We found someone injured in the forest."

"Who is it?"

"It's one of the leaf nins." he answered. Naruto thought for a minute, "Take me to him." the villager nodded and lead the way.

"Excuse us! Everyone, please move out of the way for Naruto-sama!" the villager shouted out as they moved through the crowd. Naruto finally made it through the big crowd and was shocked to see who it was. Concern filled him and he quickly knelt down to the shinobi's side. "Sasuke!" he looked over to the village healer and walked over to her, "please heal him."

"I'll do my best Naruto-sama." she answered softly and knelt down to the raven. 'Kit. How can this be possible?'

'What do you mean?'

'I mean, look at those wounds. It's been inflicted for some time now. Most likely two days ago, but we just saw him this morning at the leaf village and he seemed fine.'

'I … I don't know. I really don't know.'
