The first five chapters of this fic are re-postings of my early works, all written several years ago. Their overall quality is fairly low compared to my current standards, but they are fairly amusing to me still, and were for the most part well received, so I've decided that rather than merely deleting them, I'd add them to a compilation fic. I may add more chapters to this fic in future, but I've yet to decide, and as I don't read many Naruto fics anymore, it seems unlikely that I'll have many ideas to add. The story content of each of these chapters has been left untouched from it's original form, but some of the authors notes have been either edited or removed, and even added to in some cases with my feelings about the specific chapter.

A slightly… Different, encounter at the valley of the end. I was actually going to put this in the story I was writing at the time, but then I noticed how crack-ish it was becoming. However, I didn't want to just delete it so here it is.

"Sasuke what are you doing?!" Naruto shouted across the gorge. "Why are you leaving?!"

"I couldn't take it anymore." Sasuke stated, his voice somehow still managing to reach Naruto. "The expectations, the people looking at me like some kind of god wherever I go, I had to get away!" Sasuke yelled desperately.

"And the fan girls." Naruto said.

"And the fan girls." Sasuke repeated.

"Its ok Sasuke we can put a restraining order on her." Naruto stated bluntly.

"I tried that already!" Sasuke replied, almost seeming like he was going to cry. "Its like they want me to end up with her!"

"But why run to Orochimaru?" Naruto asked.

"Because I need power." Sasuke responded simply.

"What for?"

"To kill her!" Sasuke exclaimed. "It's the only way to be rid of her!"

"Okay…" Naruto responded, a bead of sweat running down his head. "But aren't you strong enough to beat her already?" He asked simply.

"Yes." Sasuke answered, looking at Naruto as if he had asked the stupidest question ever. "But do you really think I could handle the ANBU?"

"Ah, good point." Naruto said nodding sagely. "Well good luck then, see you around." Naruto said turning to head back to town.

"You're not even going to try and take me back?" Sasuke asked confused.

"Nope, honestly I think I'd be trying to escape too if I were you." Naruto stated before starting on his way again.

"We don't even get a big climatic battle?"

"Did you want one?" Naruto asked turning back towards Sasuke.

"Not really, but it feels like I'm getting away to easy." Sasuke stated taking a thinking pose.

"Yeah I suppose it would seem that way." Naruto nodded before mimicking his pose.

"Well, I guess I should get going now…" Sasuke said slowly.

"Yeah see yah around." Naruto replied.

"Yeah…"

"You know." Naruto said suddenly drawing Sasuke's attention. "If Sakura were to get in an accident…" He finished letting his sentence hang in the air.

"You might be on to something there." Sasuke responded.

Soon after, the two boys were on their way back to Konoha chatting together all the way.

"So Naruto, how are you with oil slicks?"

"Just point out the cliff."

End.
