Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, even thought i wish i did, .

Sasuke was standing at the front gate of the Village, where he had gone to school and spent so much time training. Team 7, his former team, had been on countless missions to try and rescue him. Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi sensi, even the others. Although they tried, they couldn't persuaded him to come back. It's been three years.

Sasuke had fulfilled his goals in life, except one. He had gained enough power from Orochimaru to defeat his brother, Itachi Uchiha. Sasuke had gone to the Akatsuki hideout, and killed all of them, but he had left Itachi for last. He had won that fight. Sasuke had also killed Orochimaru, beforehand. It was a week before the transformation was to take place. Kabuto was examining him to make sure that his health was in good shape. Then, when he had turned around, Sasuke took out his katana and plunged it thought Kabutos back. Sasuke then found Orochimaru.

"I see you killed Kabuto." Orochimaru had said, totally relaxed in his chair.

"Yes, and you will be next!" Sasuke then ran toward Orochimaru and the fought had begun. Swords were clinging and kicks were being thrown. After about 5 minutes, Sasuke had Orochimaru pinned. He showed no mercy. Orochimaru was dead.

The revenge Sasuke had for his brother had now turned to loneliness. He didn't know where to go. The only conclusion he came to was to return to the Hidden Leaf Village.

Which is where he stood now. The door watchers had seen him and started to get scared. Sasuke sighed, knowing that this was the reaction thathe was going to get. He had betrayed the village and killed many people from the leaf. He had even killed three men from ANBU. Sasuke walked through the streets, ignoring all the stares he was getting. He had even watched people turn and run into their houses. He wondered why no one had come to greet him.

Naruto and Sakura were having lunch at Ichiraku's Ramen Place. The old man was in the back, making more ramen. Naruto was chowing his down. He was really hungry!

"Oy, some more please!" Naruto replied, holding out his ramen dish. Sakura, with her newfound strength, knocked Naruto in the head.

"You idiot! Thats your 11th bowl!"

"Ow, ow,ow,ow,ow!!" He grabbed his head " Sakura-chan, do you have to hit so hard"

"Do you have to eat so much ramen? I hope you know that your paying for ALL of this." Sakura folded her arms over her chest.

"WHAT?! Your paying for your food, i'll pay for mine." Sakura was shaking her head.

"Actually im not, you said you were paying. That means mine and yours." Naruto had remembered his conversation with her earlier that day"

The old man had come back, after hearing the yelling. Naruto was yelling at Sakura still, while the old man was listening. Neji had come into the resturant. Neji coughed to say he was here. Naruto and Sakura turned their heads.

"Lady Tsunade has asked me to find you. She requests that you two go to her office. There is a mission that Team 7 is to go on." They nodded their heads, and left. While walking down the hallway to Lady Tsunades, they head a scream, and things being thrown around. Naruto and Sakura ran to the door. It was calm for a moment then started up again. "How do you expect them to act?!" They reconized the Hokages voice. That voice continued."You return after three years after betraying this village and expect them to welcome you back with open arms?! Can you even imagine what Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi would say Sasuke?"

Right when the two of them had heard the name "Sasuke" they gasped, and made a run for it. Naruto tripped on his way down the hallway. Lady Tsunade had heard a noise outside her door, and went to check it out. She opened the door, but no one was there. Turning back, she sat back at her desk, trying to get calm.

"As i was saying Uchiha, i grant your request to stay here, but you will be treated differently for a while. Also, you are NEVER to use any of the forbbiden jutsu in this village, understood?"

"Understood." Sasuke said, and left her office.

Naruto and Sakura were still running, and now headed towards the old training grounds. They didn't even know why they were running. After all these years, they should be happy to see him. Was it because they were surprised...or because they were frightened? After all, Sasuke had almost killed Naruto. The two jounin were still running, but stopped dead in their tracks. There, standing with one leg propped against a tree, with his head down, was none other than..

"Hey Sakura, Hey Dobe, long time no see, eh?" The betrayer of Konoha said

...Sasuke Uchiha.
