Hello, this is Chris. While writing my new story after finishing with "A Promise to Death", I had the idea for this story so I decided to write mirrors and make it my third fanfic instead. So I hope you all would enjoy it.

Anyway, sit back, relax, and enjoy the reading.

Oh, and I don't own the rights to Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto does. Any other resemblance is just a coincidence and I don't own them. Any originality belongs to me.

Mirrors: The Other Side of the Reflection


Peaceful Life


"So… you wouldn't happen to find it in your heart to let me go?" smiles the thief ninja hopefully to escape with a good smile.

"You truly are a pathetic thief ninja," sighs the sleepy Udon. Pushing his glasses back, Udon grins.

As the thief ninja threw a couple of kunais to distract Udon while he runs, he failed to notice the snarling wolves looking at their new piece of meat.

Gulps…

The thief ninja never had a chance, as all that Udon could see was the bag that was stolen… and that was needed back to Konoha.

"Don't you think you went a little too far with the wolves Hanabi-chan?" sighs Udon while checking the bag of goods to see if everything was in order.

"Maybe I should go far with you Udon-san"

Looking at the smirking Hanabi and seeing her walking to him seductively, Udon couldn't help but smile the good smile only a man can do in these kinds of situations.

"Well, I wouldn't mind in that case… oh"

"I shall give you more credit if you survive this Udon-san" smirks Hanabi as she grabs the bag of stolen goods and walked away from the hungry and snarling wolves covered Udon.

"I think I had that coming, heh-heh"

As the 21-year-old Udon and the 17-year-old Hanabi returned to the village, Udon tried to lighten Hanabi's mood by offering her to some ramen.

"If you are of noble blood then I shall consider to spend a few more moments with you after our missions" and with that, Hanabi walks away.

"Hehehe, still hard to get huh… CHIBI Hanabi!" grins Udon, seeing that made her stop.

Glaring back at Udon with the flaming eyes of hatred, Hanabi said as calm as possible, "Let me say this as calm as possible!! Call me that again and I'll make sure losing your balls won't be the worst thing to happen to you!!!"

"T-that's as c-c-calm as p-posible?" gulps Udon as Hanabi walks away, leaving behind flaming footsteps which their heat can be felt even to the Sand Village.

-Sand Village-

"Odd" mutters Kankuro, looking into the air.

"What is it Kankuro?" asks Temari.

"Nothing, thought I felt the air get warmer"

"In this type of winter?" Temari sighs; sometimes her brother can be so dumb sometimes.

-Back to Konoha Village-

At the Hokage towers, two ANBUs appeared in front of the hokage's desk.

"Hokage-sama, we have gathered the necessary information you need"

"Give it then"

"Very well, some surviving members of the sound ninja are still in hiding and we have found one of their hiding places over at the waterfalls at the Valley of the End. It seems they are there to rest up until they leave," reported the ANBUs.

"Hmm, was Uchiha Sasuke there with them?" asks the hokage, looking over at some documents.

"No but we have gather that they are expecting him to arrive tomorrow morning at 5"

"I see, very well then. Gather about ten jounin you can gather and await for me at the front gates tomorrow morning at 3. We will leave for the Valley of the End and ambush them, bring them alive if you can. Leave Uchiha Sasuke to me. You are dismiss," ordered the hokage.

"Yes, hokage-sama" and with that, they left.

"So we will meet again old friend" sighing, the hokage rubs his forehead thinking about Uchiha Sasuke and the road of destiny he has taken. Taking his hat off, the hokage smoothes his blonde hair back looking at the picture of team 7, remembering the good old times.

'Time to end the promise once and for all… Sasuke-teme'


"Alright class, we're going to have another history lesson so pay attention!!" shouted Iruka as he chuckles, hearing the groaning of the students.

"Iruka-sensei, why can't we learn more ninja stuff instead of history? It won't help us at all," whined a student as Iruka chuckles at how naïve this student was.

"By learning of our history, you'll learn mistakes and experiences to prevent from happening and/or knowing what you must do. Now open your textbooks and follow along!!"

Groaning, the students open their textbooks to read along with Iruka.

"Now, we covered the part about the kyuubi no yoko and of the path of darkness that Orochimaru and Sasuke has taken, correct? Okay, now last week we covered the Akatsuki and their rise to power to their threat to the world years ago and how they captured the Sand's Village Kazekage Gaara of the Sand and every battle that occurred after that. Now, let us covered the final battles of Akatsuki and how our Hokage came to be"

Clearing his throat, Iruka continues, "Ten years ago, Uzumaki Naruto along with Haruno Sakura manage to locate Uchiha Sasuke who was fighting with Akatsuki member Uchiha Itachi. Uzimo, continue where I left off"

"Uchiha Itachi was a powerful foe even for the old sannin but after much needed talk, they decide to join together and fought against Uchiha Itachi, defeating him once and for all. It was much later that they fought together once again against the leader of Akatsuki. One by one they fall but with the power Uzumaki Naruto carried within him and the strength he gained from his two friends, he was able to defeat the Akatsuki leader once and for all…"

"Alright, after that the chaos died down and the threat to the world was gone once and for all. Nanako, read the next paragraphs," ordered Iruka.

"Uzumaki Naruto used up all his chakra to perform that last jutsu he used against the Akatsuki leader and in the end, not only weaken his body but also destroyed the seal enabling kyuubi no yoko to be released. For days, kyuubi no yoko brought terror even Akatsuki wouldn't imagine and every ninja of every nation joined forces as one to fight against kyuubi no yoko. Soon, kyuubi no yoko found where the other demons were sealed and ate their souls, becoming one powerful demon. It wasn't until Uzumaki Naruto unleashed his true hidden power carried down through his genes by the Fourth Hokage that hope was found. With his body so used with kyuubi no yoko's soul within, he was able to manipulate the demon's chakra and absorb it as his own. With everyone focusing their chakra to Uzumaki Naruto, he unleashed a powerful jutsu only he can use… the jutsu that carried everyone's power, hope and beliefs and killed kyuubi no yoko once and for all"

"Soon after that, Uzumaki Naruto was proclaimed hero by all the nations and considered as the greatest shinobi ever existed, even greater than the Fourth Hokage. Few days later, Uzumaki Naruto became the Sixth Hokage of Konoha and is considered the best hokage anyone has ever seen. Hmm, I guess that concludes today's history lesson, short as it is. What I want you all to do now is to write an essay on your belief and your thoughts about the rising of our Sixth Hokage and be done by 2:00. Go on now"

Sitting back onto his seat, Iruka placed the textbook back on the table and looks at the picture over to his right. A picture of Naruto in his hokage's wardrobe. Smiling, Iruka can still remember how surprise Naruto was when he was told he has achieved his lifelong dream of being a hokage.


Reunited


As Naruto arrived at the front gates of konoha, he sees his ten jounin ready and waiting.

"Oi, Naruto. Come on, let's go!!" barked Kiba, smirking at how goofy Naruto looks in his hokage wardrobe. Akamaru seems to agree.

"Kiba, it would be advise to show some respect to our hokage," stated Neji, with his arms cross and standing in his majesty.

"Y-you have f-full support f-from the H-hyuuga's leader Naruto-kun" stuttered Hinata, blushing.

"Hokage or not, Naruto still can't beat me at eating ramen!" grins Chouji with his hands over his hips.

"Naruto-kun, today you will light up the darkness that dwells within him and return an old comrade once and for all" saluted Lee, showing his respect to the hokage with a wide teeth ping grin.

"Hey, Lee enough with that already. My weapons are yours when needed Naruto" nodded Ten Ten.

"I have been told by my little comrades that Uchiha Sasuke has been spotted miles away from the Valley of the End" whispers Shino, adjusting his sunglasses to see better at night.

"How troublesome, hokage or not I'm still needed to make the damn formation," sighs Shikamaru, yawning.

"Traitor or not, he deserves a second chance. Everyone can atone for their sins and live a life to the fullest" spoke Ino.

"I am still picturing that male sexy no jutsu, I would like to ask Sasuke-kun to pose for me once we retrieve him" smiles Sai.

"Very well then, let us be off then," ordered Naruto as he walks towards the front gates.

"And where do you think you're going without me?" growls Sakura as Naruto shook.

Turning around, Naruto rubs the back of his head, saying, "Didn't think I would wake you Sakura-chan"

"I know about the mission and I'm going. I can't believe you'll go onto this mission without me" grits Sakura, walking menacing to Naruto.

"B-but you have that meeting over at the hospital with your students about…" explained Naruto but was cut off by Sakura.

"This is more important than any meeting!!" shouted Sakura, glaring at Naruto.

Sighing, Naruto gave up as he smiles, saying while extending his hand to her, "Then join us, let us get back our brother"

Smiling, Sakura grabs his hands, saying, "Lets… Naruto-kun"

"Right… honey"

"Man, he's so whipped" snickers Kiba to Chouji who tried to hold his laughter.

"Kiiiiiiibaaaaaaaaaaaa… Chhoooooooooouuuuuuuuujjjjjiiiiiiiiiiii… you are to clean not only konoha but the fire nation's forest of junk and trash without any jutsus once we've returned" ordered the flamed eyed Naruto as Kiba and Chouji groans.

"Alright boys, stop goofing around now. Our date is waiting" and with that, Sakura took the lead and jumped towards the trees, with the ninja following her.

"But Sakura-chaaaaaaaaan… I'm the hokage!! I'm suppose to leaaaaaaadddddddd!!" groans Naruto as he tries to catch up to his people.


"We need to get out of here, those konoha shinobi would know of us hiding here soon" mutters a Sound ninja.

"We have to wait for Sasuke-sama," said another.

"Sound ninja? Hmph, thought there were no more of them" said a newcomer as the sound ninjas look towards to the newcomer.

"Sasuke-sama!" cheered the sound ninjas as Sasuke stood on top of the water below the waterfall.

"Fools, don't you know that we're being surrounded" annoyed, Sasuke looks back to see the arrival of Naruto.

"Sasuke-teme"

"Naruto"

As Kiba with Akamaru and Ten Ten went for the attack towards the sound ninjas, Naruto and Sasuke stared at one another. Their chakras were being emitted around their bodies.

"Sasuke-kun!!!" shouted Sakura as she slams her fist towards Sasuke, breaking him into millions of pieces and leaving a humungous crater.

Shaking the blood away, Sakura looks around to see Naruto ducking from a kick from the real Sasuke. Which also indicates that Sakura killed a corpse made to look like Sasuke.

No words were needed at this point as the old sannin were reunited once again and talked with their fists and jutsus.

"Kill the beast!!!" shouted some sound ninja as they were evading Akamaru's spiral attacks while dodging Ten Ten's endless weapons.

While some were hiding behind rocks to prepare a sound jutsu, bugs started to crawl from the cracks they were stepping. As their eyes widen in shock to see so many bugs floating in front of them, the bugs poof away to reveal Neji unleashing his super kaiten.

Neji's eyes widen as after his super kaiten ended, he was met with a fat punch to the face, sending him towards a tree. The deliverer of the punch was a big giant buff green hair man with a sound ninja outfit with no shirt glares at the konoha ninja.

"Mizujiho-taichou!!!" cheered some of the sound ninjas as Mizujiho screams, emitting his humungous chakra around his body.

Gathering the emitted chakra into his palms, Mizujiho slams the ground, not only causing another humungous crater but also unleashed eruption of deadly chakra from the entire field that damaged any who gets hit from it.

"Omote Renge!!!" Mizujiho looks around himself to see a green blur running around. Suddenly, he was kicked into the air as he screams, his chakra enabling himself to land back onto the ground.

Lee slowed down to slid in front of Mizujiho as he stares up at the buff man. "I see that you have a lot of chakra to have control even in midair. Very impressive for a man such as yourself, considering your weight. But it would not save you against me who will find a way to break through that humungous chakra of yours" and with that, Lee vanished leaving behind dust in his place.

Mizujiho grits as he looks around to find Lee. His eyes widen as he quickly blocks an invisible hit in front of him, then used his other arm to block another hit. He was gritting his teeth and was pissed off because those invisible kicks were pushing him back. Veins throbbed throughout his body as he screams, slamming his fists to the ground causing craters.

As the little rocks from the craters were floating up when Mizujiho slams the ground with his punches, Lee had to run away from him.

'I see, I thought he was blinded by rage but he is using an interesting tactic. Making those craters with blind rage is just a front but with those rocks jumping into the air upon his punches to the ground, he is actually watching those rocks instead of me to see any sudden movement I would do to those rocks. Plus him being a sound ninja he must be using his hearing ability to locate me, very clever indeed. It seems there is more to this guy that those humungous muscle'

"You're pretty good for a fatass, what's your name?" smirks a purple short hair sound ninja as Chouji growls, putting more strength onto his hold on the girl's hands. (Note that both Chouji and the girl were grabbing hand to hand, trying to push each other away)

"Akamichi Chouji, konoha jounin. Yours?"

"Nyamo Lin, sound taichou" grins Nyamo as she screams, her arm bulged as she slams Chouji to the ground.

Chouji screams as he pushes Nyamo's extended fat hand up with his extended fat hands.

"I see… you must be that traitor to my clan" grits Chouji as Nyamo licks her lips, saying, "I'm not an Akamichi no more fatass, I'm a Lin"

"Nyamo-taichou!!!" screamed a sound ninja as he stabs Nyamo through the neck with a kunai.

Nyamo gasps in pain as she looks back to see the sound ninja gritting his teeth, like he was struggling as he stabs the kunai under his mouth up through his head.

Nyamo's eyes widen as she sees the sound ninjas behind her attacking each other instead.

"Sorry Chouji, didn't mean to take her away from you" grins Ino as she smirks with her hands over his hips.

"I'll let it slide if you join me for an all you can eat barbeque sale" grins Chouji as he grabs Nyamo by the neck and began to squeeze her, ignoring the blood oozing onto his extended fat hands.

Looking towards the other fighting field, Ino sees some of the sound ninjas being trapped by a strong shadow that extended from the forest. She could have sworn she heard a, "Success" at that point, which she smiles.

"It's the shadow biding jutsu!!! Crap!!!" shouted the sound ninjas as suddenly shadowy figures started to emerge from the shadows… it was their shadows.

As the sound ninjas were starring at their own shadows standing in front of them, they couldn't do anything but scream as their own shadows were slicing their bodies apart with their shadow kunais.

"Kiba now!!!" shouted Ten Ten as she jumped on top of the combine Kiba and Akamaru beast transformation.

As the two-headed Akamaru beast form jump to do the Double Wolf Fang, Ten Ten unleashed many scrolls firing her 64 Rising Dragons jutsu.

The sound ninjas really had no chance at this point. If they ran away from the Double Wolf Fang, the dragons and the weapons would hit them. If they dodged the weapons, the dragons and the Double Wolf Fang would hit them. If they avoided the dragons, the weapons and the Double Wolf Fang would end them. All in all, their own blood and body parts replaced their bodies.

As Neji open his eyes, he finds himself surrounded by sound ninjas. Neji did what he usually does in these kinds of situations… he smirked.

"Hm"

Getting up, Neji stood as the sound ninjas unleashed their sound jutsus. As the sound jutsus hit Neji, they got cancel as Neji's body emitted chakra of his super kaiten.

Neji's body was covered by his super kaiten, like a body shield. Activating his byakugan, Neji sees the entire sound ninjas around him was within his field of vision.

"Hm" and with that, Neji smirks as he made the juuken stance, preparing to use his trigrams technique.

As Hinata taps away every single kunai strike that was shot to her, the sound ninjas were preparing to use their sound jutsu.

"Saitou-taichou!!!" cheered the sound ninjas as a long brown hair sound ninja appeared behind Hinata with speed that matches Lee's and struck through Hinata with his katana.

Saitou laughs at killing this girl but he noticed something, there was no blood coming. Pulling his katana back, his eyes widen as he sees the part of his katana that went through Hinata was not there anymore. Looking at Hinata, he sees a chakra barrier emitting from her body… like a body shield.

With a broken katana, Saitou grits in anger as he screams, unleashing a sound wave.

The sound wave eradicated Hinata into bloody pieces but then again, that was too easy. Saitou looks back to see the real Hinata in her juuken stance slamming her right palm into his back, causing him to gasp out blood.

Suddenly, five Hinatas surrounded Saitou as the shadow clones did the Hyuuga Hinata Juuken Rendan while the real Hinata walk towards the sound ninjas.

Opening her fists, chakra strings emerged from each of her fingertips. Closing her eyes, Hinata began to twirl around. To the eyes of others, it looks like Hinata was dancing… very beautiful too but in reality, each of her movements caused her chakra strings to cancel the chakra lines and chakra points of the sound ninja. Hinata doesn't need to do the 64 Trigrams technique, the chakra strings is more faster and easier use for her. And its much deadlier too because not only does it cancels the chakra points, it also cuts the chakra lines that connect the chakra points… making it impossible to connect the chakra points again. And even if it does connect again, it would take years to connect one chakra point to another. After all, Hinata is not one to kill. She's too soft and shows mercy.

Shino was having an interesting time with his sound ninjas. He keeps dodging each attack the sound ninjas threw him.

"Back away maggots, this guy is mine!!!" yelled a spiky gray hair muscle man with a black beard.

"Chada-taicho!!!" cheered the sound ninjas as Chada jump towards to Shino.

As Chada threw fast punches, he grits his teeth in anger to see Shino dodging every single punch with ease… and with his hands in his pockets too. That pisses Chada off for some reason.

"Fucking ass!!! Dodge this!!!" and with that, slamming his hands together Chada aims his hands to Shino, releasing endless bats with blades in their mouths.

Grinning, Chada sees his bats homing in around Shino, giving him nowhere to run. Shino, on the other hand, smirked as bugs crawled out of his mouth, ears, eyes, nose, and everywhere from his body. Soon, his body exploded as bloody bugs with hanging organs floated in Shino's place.

As the bats attacked the bloody bugs, the bugs' poof proving to be shadow clones as Chada feels the ground waving.

Looking down, he gasps as he was standing on a field of bugs. Bugs emerge from the ground to trap his arms, legs, chest and head as Chada screams. As bugs entered Chada's body, Shino emerge from the bug ground in front of the sound ninjas, saying, "Fools" as he took his right hand out of his right pocket.

Aiming his right arm towards the sound ninjas, his arm exploded to reveal a bloody brown insect leg as he swung the insect leg towards the sound ninjas, slicing them into pieces of Shino's choice.

"No matter the speed, I will always get myself back down with my chakra" smirks Mizujiho as he looks around to find Lee.

Suddenly, a whirlwind of dust surrounds Mizujiho as he finds himself behind tied by white bandages.

Being hit into the air, Mizujiho was pulled back to be hit again. The bandages was really tight and hard to break as every time Lee hits Mizujiho, he runs to the other end to hit him again. It's like Ura Renge but without being super.

Lee slams Mizujiho to the ground as he stood in front of him. Retrieving his bandages, Lee ran again around Mizujiho. Causing a circular crater around Mizujiho, Lee stood in front of the circle crater and slams his hands to the ground. Lifting up the platform that Mizujiho was waking up from, Lee threw the rocky platform into the air as he jumps up, slamming his fist and kick to it, smashing it into pieces.

Landing back down, Lee cracked his hands as he jumps again, punching and kicking each falling piece towards Mizujiho. Even as Mizujiho screams to unleash his chakra to get his balance back, he was being distracted of blocking and dodging the upcoming rocks to notice Lee doing his signature move.

"Omote Renge!!!" shouted Lee as he jumps into the air, kicking Mizujiho from behind even deeper into the air. Doing multiple kicks like he did to Gaara in the chuunin exams, he wraps Mizujiho with the bandages as he spins back to the ground with unbelievable force.

Jumping away from his enemy, Lee stood to see Mizujiho out for the count. Lee grins and gave a big thumbs up, screaming, "Your youth has expired long ago!!! My youth would forever burn with the passion to protect the peace!!!"

Sai pouted, "I feel like I was almost forgotten" as he flew into the air with his paper bird to avoid multiple sound cannon jutsus.

As the sound cannon jutsus ceased, the sound ninjas stepped aside to let through their taichou.

"Hmm, short black hair… clear white skin… smiles and pouts excessively… shows stomach to the world… my god… the rumors are true then…" gasps Kaiko, a long white hair woman, big breasts, shows excessive cleavage that it should be censored, and a tight shirt that shows… hmm, everything except for her breasts…

"Oh, I see my name has reached even to the likes of the sound ninja" smiles Sai, flying around the sound ninjas.

"Yes, no one can ever mistake you for anything. The rumors are truly true… you must be… Clearly Gay!!!" shouted Kaiko.

Head tilted, Sai thought with a finger under his chin, 'Okay, granted I was intrigue to see that sexy no jutsu and want Sasuke-kun to pose for me but still…'

With red circle blushing cheeks, Kaiko moans with a thumbs up, "Oh, you're my type of man!!! (Shaking her body) If I have you as mine then… then… (Covering her redden cheeks) oh, imagine the fun… so many people in one bed… and a legend like you… ohhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Kaiko-taichou!!! Control yourself!!!" groan the sound ninjas as Kaiko looks at her sound ninjas. Looking up, Kaiko gave Sai an evil smirk with deadly blue eyes.

"But I must kill you for being our enemy!!!… … (Blushing) or you can submit to my will, either way is fine"

Sai pouted as he began to think of different possibilities. Granted, he's still on the journey to make new friends ever since he stopped his nickname for Naruto. He misses his nickname for Naruto but ever since he found out that the nickname was not true when he took Naruto to the hot springs for reasons that even to this day, no one knows and was the true reason why Naruto won't hang out with Sai anymore, Sai was desperate for attention.

"If you defeat me, my body is yours to do anything you want" smiles Sai.

"Aahhhhh!!!!! Me likey!!!!!" blushed Kaiko, who lifted two signs that says, "10/10 for effort". As she was done giggling, she glares evilly at Sai. Wind spun around her legs as she flew into the air and floated in front of Sai in the air.

"Wind user, are you?" Sai asks with a smile as he began to blush. 'Fond memories… wind'

"I'm flatter that you would blush at my presence… okay, I shall let you look for a little bit longer" smirk Kaiko as she did a pose.

'And she's a woman too, a plus for my image' smiles Sai as he grabs her breasts.

"Ohh, not so rough" moans Kaiko as she began to cover her cheeks.

"I believe that we should play at another time," giggles Sai as his hand stretched and wrapped around Kaiko's chest.

"Whatever you say slave" smirks Kaiko with a lick over her lips as tight powerful paper was wrapped around her chest.

When Sai stretched his neck to look like a giraffe, the paper bird flew away as it tore itself to become five Sais with wings.

The sight of Sai with wings made Kaiko blush. Oh, yes she would definitely have fun.

"Kaiko-taichou…" mutters the sound ninjas on the ground as paper bits floated in front of them. With a bright light, the paper bits formed into many Sais.

"Time to erase unnecessary coloring" smiles Sais as they raised not only paintbrushes but toothpicks as well.

As the corpse began to rot away, even the smell didn't phase the old sannin. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke looked at each other knowing that this battle would decide it all.

"Sasuke-teme, I will ask you one more time. Stop your foolishness and come back to konoha with us to begin again" stated Naruto, hoping that Sasuke would accept.

"I'm sorry Naruto but this is the path that I have chosen. If you want me back so badly, get me the old fashion way" spoke Sasuke, hoping that Naruto would believe.

"Then I guess Sasuke-kun that we must bring you down once and for all. Our feelings, our past… it won't matter in this battle. Once and for all, our battle our history ends today," growls Sakura, hoping that Naruto and Sasuke would follow.

As Sasuke smirks, Naruto grits, and Sakura clenched her fists, they disappeared without a sound.

Sakura appears to deliver a punch to Sasuke who avoided it. At the same time, Sasuke took out his chokuto to block an air rasengan; Sasuke smirks, as another Sasuke appeared floating above Naruto who swung his chokuto down, cutting Naruto in half.

As blood gush over to Sasuke, he smirks; "The clones are getting more real" then disperses into flying birds.

Naruto and Sakura stood side by side, looking around to see the birds flying over them as the ground under them suddenly shook.

"What the hell?!" shouted Naruto as the shaking ground burst into the air, taking Naruto and Sakura with it.

Suddenly, the ground stop in midair. Naruto and Sakura find themselves standing on a rocky platform in midair.

The birds flew together to form Sasuke. Sasuke flew towards the ground as he looks at Naruto and Sakura.

"It's fitting for us Naruto" smirks Sasuke, as he prepared to strike. "You are the only one within my sight, only one I care about killing and no one else"

"You're forgetting about me Sasuke-kun!!!" shouted Sakura, growling with anger as she clenched her fists. Sakura never felt so insulted to be ignore like she did right now.

"Naruto, lets end this now once and for all" and with that, Sasuke ran towards to Naruto who ran towards to Sasuke. Sakura ran along with Naruto as Naruto jumps into the air over Sasuke who stopped running, not seeing Sakura throwing a punch to him.

The punch went through Sasuke as he disperses, angering Sakura. Looking ahead, Sakura could see Sasuke coming down from the air to swing his chokuto at Naruto again.

"Argh!!!" growling, Sakura ran towards to where Naruto is. As Sasuke swung his chokuto, Naruto spun away as he slid. Sasuke struck the ground as Sakura threw another punch.

Sasuke was quick as he blocks Sakura's punch with his glowing chokuto, angering Sasuke.

"I don't care about you, you're not worthy for me to fight" pushing Sakura away, Sasuke looks back at Naruto tightening his hold on his chokuto.

"Damn you Sasuke-kun!!! This is my battle too!!! As a member of team 7, this is my battle too!!!" shouted Sakura, radiating a powerful chakra presence.

Looking back, Sasuke can see how powerful Sakura is. Looking towards Naruto, he can see the power growing in Naruto.

Smirking, Sasuke looks ahead, "Very well then, lets have a three-way battle. I'm finally recognizing you Sakura so don't disappoint me" and with that, the real battle begins.

To be continue…


Author's Notes

-Note that Chibi Hanabi was Udon's nickname for Hanabi when they started out. Even after all the threats, and after many assassinations over his head, Udon still calls Hanabi Chibi Hanabi just to tease her.

--In case you all didn't realize it, Hinata is the leader of her clan.

--About the Sound taichou, I decided to try something on this. Nyamo Lin, real name Nyamo Akamichi. She's a traitor to the Akamichi clan for reasons not really important other than I wrote that she was a traitor without thinking and decided to stick by it.

--To tell the truth, I really forgotten about Sai. When I was done with Lee's fight, I went back to the scene where Naruto went to the front gates to meet his jounin, I was reading it until I came across Sai and I was like, "Oh crap I forgot about Sai" so I went to write Sai's fight and end it but decided to extended and end it on the next chapter.

--Now, for Sai's nickname for Naruto. Hehehe, you call know what I'm talking about even though its not a nickname but an opinion. And if some of you don't know then that's okay for I shall reveal it on the next chapter.

--Sai's character, I usually like to write stuff that stays true to the actual story or write fiction that goes along with the actual story but with Sai… I don't know but decided with my best to write Sai the way I see him as and to tell you the truth, it was fun writing Sai's character. I'm thinking of writing a fanfic about Sai now.

--Sasuke's attitude… he sees Naruto and only Naruto within his sight. Since Sakura was weak during their genin days, Sasuke just ignores her. But this time, for the sake of being part of team 7 and seeing how powerful Sakura has become, Sasuke decided to fight Sakura as an equal.

--Sasuke's chokuto is a straight hiltless katana.

Well, there you go chapter 1 of my third fanfic. I hope this fanfic would be to your liking. To my redemption story, I'll continue with that story after I submit my fourth fanfic which I'll continue writing when I'm done with this fanfic. Hope to read your opinions on this fanfic. Anyway, later yosh.
