I Don't Own Naruto. The Characters Belong To Masashi Kishimoto

Sasuke looked up at the starry night sky as he stood on the hill of the grassy area. It had been two years since the fall of Akatsuki and Sasuke was now eighteen years old. Everything was peaceful now in the Land of Fire. Sasuke was never going to leave the Leaf Village again because he just had nowhere to go. His team lived in the Leaf Village too. He hadn't admitted it but he was glad to be back in the village. He developed a close bond with his ex-teammate Naruto and he wanted to develop that bond again because when he left the village he also severed their bond. Only thing Sasuke wanted to do was to redevelop that close bond he and Naruto had.

Sasuke walked down the hill and headed towards Ichiraku's Ramen Shop because he knew Naruto would be at Ichiraku's all night. He smiled as he came close to Ichiraku's.

"Sasuke!"

Sasuke froze and his eye twitched. He knew that voice anywhere. He turned around and glared at the pink haired kunoichi. The girl stopped in front of Sasuke with a big grin on her face.

"Why do you want, Sakura? I'm busy."

Sakura frowned. "Tsunade-Sama asked me to go find you because she has a mission for you and Team Hawk."

Sasuke turned around and faced Ichiraku's. "Tsunade can wait. There something important I have to do first."

Sakura crossed her arms over her chest. "What's so important that you can't do later?"

Sasuke whirled around with a frown still on his face. "I want to redevelop mine and Naruto's close bond that we had before I ever left the village. That's what is really important to me right now. Not missions."

Sasuke turned back around and walked into Ichiraku's Ramen Shop.

Sasuke sat down on the stool beside Naruto and Sasuke turned towards him. "Hey, Naruto! He's great to see you again."

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a confused look on his face. "Are you feeling okay, Sasuke?"

Sasuke frowned. "I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"Because you never acted like this. You never say 'hi' to me or say that it's great to see me. What's going on with you?"

"Look. I want to redevelop our close bond that we used to have. Is that okay with you if we can do that?"

Naruto smiled. "It's totally okay with me, Sasuke! Where do we start?"

Sasuke scratched the back of his head. "I have no clue. Let's just hang out and get to know each other more. And train a lot, too!"

Naruto nodded in agreement. "You got it, Sasuke!"
