Flash back: 3 years earlier
"Naruto! Naruto!" A little boy's voice called. The boy looked around. He had black hair and was rather tall for a 14 year old. "Sasuke!" A blond boy answered, falling from a tree branch. He landed on his feet, smiling. He was the same age and a little shorter. "There you are! I been looking all over for you!" Sasuke sighed, pouting. "And Sakura is mad at you!" Naruto shrugged, resting his hand on his own shoulder and cracking it a bit before stretching. "Oh come on! She's just a whiny baby.. Not my fault she sucks at being it! That's why she shouldn't play hide and seek with us." Naruto answered back. Sasuke stared at him, leaning against the tree. "Not fair Naruto. She's our friend." Sasake said softly. Naruto placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulder. He smiled. "Maybe so! But it's not fair you always have to help her find me! I know it makes you a little unhappy. So do whatever makes you happy!" He suggested. Sasuke smiled back. "Yeah. Thanks." He playfully punched Naruto in the arm before running off. "Come on! It's training time!" He called out. Naruto whined, following after him towards the town training hall.
Present time:
Sasake and Naruto trained hard together for the last 3 years. They both improved and as they got older, they came closer. Some would call them best friends. As Sasuke got older, he secretly began growing romantic feelings for Naruto and hasn't expressed it at all to him. He'd simply hide what he was feeling and become a bit distant from the other. Now, they train and fight each other competitively.
"..Shadow clone jitsu!" Naruto yelled. A puff of smoke appeared briefly and about 6 feminine naked versions of him began to show in view. They giggled and smiled, trying to distract the other in a teasing manner. Sasuke frowned, raising his hands in a defensive counter-attack. He moved down swiftly, "Genjutsu; Sahringan!" He called. Sasuke's surroundings turned slow and his opponent can only see his attacker moving fast, almost as if he was teleporting. Sasuke striked each repulsive clone as he moved through them. Puff's of smoke appeared and quickly evaporated around him. "Such a sickening display!" Sasuke yelled.
The teachers watched from the side lines.
"Naruto's jitsu is stronger, but it's not really effective around his opponent." Hatake Kakashi replied, rubbing his chin a bit. "Yes, and Sasuke is stronger by his physical attacks. If Naruto's jitsu is prevented useless against Sasuke, he will lose this match for sure." Jiraya answered back. "And who's fault is it that taught him that trick.. Jiraya?" Kakashi said softly. "Hey! It works on small, weak minded perverts like myself!" Jiraya chuckled a bit, his cheeks a slight red. They watched, seeing Naruto suddenly slammed into the wall. He yelled out, bruised up and panting. He was unable to continue at this moment and he laid there in rumble. Sasuke waited a moment before standing up straight. Kakashi and Jiraya walked up onto the battle field.
"Naruto. Your fighting is sloppy. You lack skill and knowledge against Sasuke. You go all out, all at once. You need to learn self control and learn not to let your opponent get the better hand. Prehaps learn restraint." He began. "As much as I like that trick, you need something stronger and more effective." Naruto frowned at his honest words and stood up, walking closer. He stood by Sasuke. "B-but sensei! I'm trying! It's because sasuke trains everyday, all day long! Give me credit!" He argued. He didn't feel like accepting defeat, again and again like he had been these whole 3 past years. Sasuke didn't even try in his eyes. He'd watch him closely. In fact, he was beginning to wonder why he hadn't been seeing the male much lately. He looked up at the taller male, seeing his blank and yet board expression. He didn't even look tired from fighting for an hour.
"Maybe you can catch up to him too, instead of lazing around under the shade." Kakashi laughed a bit. Naruto looked down, biting his lip. "Thank you Jiraya sensei, Kakashi sensei." Sasuke said in a low, cool tone. He bowed down slightly, walking out. Naruto watched him leave, pouting like a little kid. "Naruto, maybe you can ask Sasuke for some advice. He seems to do well in school and know everything." Kakashi suggested before leaving with Jiraya. Naruto headed out, sighing in frustration. He hated this. He personally felt like he was being left out. Even Sakura was stronger then he was and she was younger! She was on a small mission with some of her instructors.
"Ask him for pointers hm..?" Naruto mumbled to himself. He caught a glimpse of Sasuke leaving in the distance. A small smirk crossed his lips. He decided to follow him and watch him train. He thought maybe if he watched his attacks, he can out-counter them next time they fight. "Maybe I can even get stronger faster! I can even become the youngest Hokoge sooner!" He laughed to himself, feeling quite excited. He stood there, daydreaming as he lost his track of mind briefly. He snapped out of it, looking around.
"Shit! I lost him!" He called out. He scratched his head, ruffling his hair dramatically. He peaked around the corner, looking around almost as if frantically. "eeh!" He let out a girlish shriek as he felt a sudden tap on his shoulder. He turned around, speechless. It was Sasuke.
"Looking for something?" He asked, crossing his arms. Naruto shrugged, looking away as he tried playing this off. "A-ah I was looking for... some kid! yeah! Kid who..um... " He began. His cheeks heated up a bit, turning red. Sasuke waited a moment before tilting his head, giving a small smile in disbelief. "You were following me. Weren't you? I'm not stupid Na-ru-to." He poked the smaller male's forehead, spelling his name out rather slowly. He smiled, feeling like teasing the male. Naruto hung his head down in shame. "Why." Sasuke asked sternly.
"Kakahi sensei gave me the idea.. I should ask you for tips and advice." He looked up at the taller male, answering him in all honesty. He noticed then that Sasuke's hair was getting too long and covered his face a lot more now. "So fluffy" Naruto thought to himself. He was about to reach up and touch it when Sasuke pulled away. "Out of the question. I have to train, so im busy." He intrrrupted. Naruto simply pouted.
"You always train! Your always busy! We hardly even hang out anymore. I mean come on... Even Sakura finds it weird. You hardly talk to her anymore. What? Has the cool Sasuke grown up without us? Now you got some cool friends?" Naruto exclaimed. He then looked up as he was suddenly pushed into the wall, wincing. Sasuke was leaning over him, looking down at him as he practically pinned him against the brick wall. "W-what are you doing.." Naruto mumbled out, studdering a bit. Sasuke simply frowned a bit.
"Grown ups need to make a living. Right? And now, we are 17 years old. I have a goal and what I do to reach that goal is none of your damn business. What's yours? Lazing around, taking a all day nap every single day? It's no wonder you always lose in our fights!" He growled a bit. It was obvious he was feeling a bit upset over what Naruto said. "It's true, I been distant. But if you don't know why.. You really shouldn't talk about something you know nothing about!" He Sasuke spat.
Naruto sat up a bit, pushing Sasuke away as he spoke. "I don't know why! But maybe if you told me, I'd understand!" Naruto looked upset, trying his hardest not to feel any other emotion besides anger. Sasuke brushed his slim hand through his puffy hair, brushing it back out of his face as he let out a stressed out sigh. Naruto watched silently, continuing to blush. Sasuke sent Naruto a devilish look, glaring at him. "W-what?"
"If you knew the reason, you'd be glad I was staying away from you." Sasuke mumbled. He pulled away, crossing his arms once more. He refused to tell Naruto his secret. "If you want to get some tips, meet me in the clearing in a hour." He sighed. Naruto looked at him weirdly. "W-why? Can't you just tell me?" He asked, the blond male leaned against the wall a bit. "I'm holding up a challenge." Sasuke smirked. "If I win, I won't share anything with you. I don't care if it was a order from Jiraya and Kakashi sensei or not. If you win, I'll do what you ask and give you advice. I'll even show you a few moves and help you learn them." He held out a hand.
Naruto stared at his hand for a moment before shaking it. He smirked. "Okay! Deal!" Naruto felt determined. "I'll win for sure!" Sasuke nodded at his words and ruffled Naruto's hair a bit before walking off. "Yeah yeah.. good luck! You'll need it!" Naruto walked in the opposite direction, trying to think of what his challenge would be. They parted ways for now.
3 years ago prior:
"Hey! No fair!" Naruto whined. He fell to his knees, panting. Sasuke smiled and giggled, standing over him. They were in a forest clearing and had just finished a race. "You always win!" Naruto continued to whine. He was always known as a cry baby, but when he wanted something, he wouldn't give up on it. Naruto was rather stubborn and that was the word most folks would describe him.
"Naruto! Just get faster.. I'll teach you. Breath out your nose and in your mouth for starters. Next time, ill even let you win!" Sasuke suggested. He sat down in front of Naruto. "R-really?" The blond asked. He smiled a bit, giving his hand out to make a deal. "You let me win! And i'll do something nice for you in return!" Naruto giggled a bit. Sasuke shook his hand.
"It's a deal!" The black hair male decided. He smiled back, watching Naruto's usual smile. He noticed that each time he smiled, Naruto's cat-like whisker marks on his face would stretch out more across his cheek. He found it really cute, but kept that to himself of course.
"Hey kid! No money! No food!" A shop manager replied. Sasuke was holding less then a dollar in his small fist, looking down. He stood there silently, feeling his stomach growl. It was loud, almost like a growl of a small dog or even a baby bear. "I got money! Two large ramen please!" The store manager took the money, giving them some food. Sasuke looked up, seeing Naruto by his side. He gave him the food happily.
"Thank yiou." Sasuke replied softly, smiling as he sat down. His friend sat down besides his, already beginning to stuff his face. "Hm yeah! You let me win, so this is a reward in return!" Naruto said softly. Sasuke began to eat. "I promise I'll do something nice for you in return." Sasuke mumbled quietly to himself, smiling as he ate.
"I promise, I'll do something nice for you in return." Mumbled Sasuke as he walked away. He was smiling, sighing contently. He had a flash back of when they were kids, helping each other out. "My precious best friend.."
