Chapter One: Blue Eyes Shining

The world is foggy now, not because of my eyes, no my eyes are the strongest in the world, only second..to him. It saddens me to know that I won't be the one to kill him...Itachi - my brother. I know why the dobe hates hospitals now - this ceiling is driving me insane, the drugs they have me on to cease the pain have me barely lucid most of the time.

"Was it worth it?" I hear that allot from shinobi who walk by me with disgusted looks on their face, and to tell the truth - no it wasn't. It wasn't worth seeing him cry and beg for me to come back - it wasn't worth the small amount of power gained - it wasn't worth breaking the heart of the two people who truely cared about me.

I remember the day when he dragged me back here, he was - diffrent. His blue eyes were cold, all the life in them gone. He dropped my barely moving form infront of Tsunade - and what I saw next to me made my blood run cold. He threw her Orochimeru's head. I lifted my hand up to my next and felt for the cursed seal - it was gone!

Slowly sanity began to seep back into my brain, several things began to come clear to me. For one - the dobe had killed the snake! When did he get so strong! For two - he could have killed me - but instead brought me back here. I heard her shrill yell.

"SASUKE-KUN!" Some things never change, I suppose that brought a smile to my face. I don't really remember much, but he walked by her - no "Hi Sakura Chan!" nothing. It shocked me at first, knowing that I had done that to him, I had made him cold. Her arms wrapped around me and she began to sob.

"I'm so glad your back Sasuke-kun!" She pulled away and looked straight into my eyes, for a second I thought she was going to kiss me - boy was I wrong - Sakura had gained Tsunade's legendary strenght - and boy did I find out the hard way. I went flying through the Hokages wall with one flick, and just lay there for awhile.

"If you ever leave again I'll kill you myself! Do you realize the pain you caused me and Naruto-kun!" Wait - did I hear that right - did she just call Naruto - "Naruto-Kun!" I thought I had to be dreaming, I slowly stood myself up, exhausted. I stumpled foreward - but she caught me - and suddenly I felt warmth rushing all over me. Her hands were glowing green - my chakra exhaustion was receeding, my wounds healing. Sakura I discovered - was almost as good of a medic nin as Hokage-Sama.

"Sasuke - you should be on trial for being a missing nin - Naruto should have killed you. However - after several..painful disagreements with the Hokage, he has gotten her to agree to allow you to remain a shinobi - on a three year probationary period"

Her voice was - rather cold to me. It sent chills down my spine, but I knew it was deserved. Most of my insanity was due to the cursed seal - but I knew some of it was me.

Then I realized - Naruto had gone against the hokage, he had got into a debate with her and won. It was not easy to disagree with Hokage-sama, she could easily put a whole through a man if she hit him hard enough. The dobe...no - I can't call him that anymore.

"H...how...how did he kill him..." I don't know why it came out, but it did. I had to know, how did Naruto get strong enough to kill Orochimeru! How did he surpass one of the legendary Sannin - and Kabuto - because where the snake was - his servant was soon to follow.

"You know how...he killed him because he had to to retrive you, it wouldn't of matter if it was the Kyuubi itself standing between you and him - he would take the great beast down just to save you...though I suppose Orochimeru informed you of the reason for Naruto's stamina..."

I blindly nodded, indeed he had. Naruto - had the nine tailed demon king sealed within his stomach, it lent him great power, more then he should have, but it also came with a burden beyond that of my cursed seal. The villagers accepted me even after my return - but I doupt they will ever accept Naruto.

So much has happened between now and then, though my time is short now. I'm waiting for Sakura to bring him to me, so I can see his blue eyes one last time. I have a present for him, and a request. Only he can do this now - only that blonde bundel of energy. I just hope he accepts my gift...after all, it will help him protect his precious people.

Though I am sad, I wish, no I hope that heaven is as warming, as caring - as watching his blue eyes shining.

End Chapter

Author's Notes: This is the story idea I posted before - I am going to give it a shot, now before everyone gets all pissed that Naruto killed Orochimeru - I will be doing lots of backround to explain how he got that strong, I assure you it will not be easy for Naruto. And no - Sasuke does not love naruto in "that" way - he views him as a comrade and as close as a brother.
