JUTSU DESCRIPTION

- Byakugan – White Eyes - Description: This jutsu is activated in the eyes, much like the Sharingan. Sharingan actually developed from Byakugan. This jutsu allows the user's vision to become 360 degrees. The user is able to see fully around them, and all their surroundings. Byakugan also has the ability to see objects, and view the inner coil system of a person's body, and in advanced cases, the Chakra Holes. Using this, the user can attack the inner organs of a person, and do high amounts of damage.

- Sharingan – Description : A pupil born technique, which allows the user to do to a large number of things. The Sharingan's first and most well known ability - is to memorize any technique that it is a witness to - as well as register the movements of opponents. Second, it is able to hypnotize the opponent, giving an advantage to the user. It can also suggest movements to the hypnotized brain, and 'see through; any illusionary techniques. Although it is a power jutsu, it absorbs chakra. The power of the Sharingan is judged through the amount of dots in the persons eye.

===========================================

*Ramen Shop*

Naruto still acted like a child when it came to his favorite food, some still wondered how he managed to survive without eating many fruits and vegetables, as the boy sat down at a table for 4 people, as he urged his love and best friend to sit down quickly.

"Come on!" Naruto waved his hand at the two Anbus.

"The idiot will never change ..." Sasuke thought as he sat down on the opposite side of Naruto and Neji.

"So what are you guys having?" Naruto asked with a smile.

"Same as you, but just one bowl." Neji replied as Sasuke nodded without saying a single word.

Naruto raised his hand in the air as he gave out the order to the chef, as he then sat back down and placed an arm behind Neji's neck and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

Sasuke's eyes of course caught this as he slightly felt uncomfortable, since even after the years, Sasuke still cared a lot for the little blond, but never showed it to anyone. Sasuke was lost in his thoughts as he remembered the time he convinced Neji to go back to talk to Naruto.

FLASHBACK

--- 5 Years Ago ---

"Do you really love Naruto?" Sasuke asked without hesitation

"Nani!?" Neji let out as anger started to build up again

"Don't make me repeat myself" Sasuke commented

"What is it to you Uchiha?" Neji asked

"Look, dobe loves you. Whatever he did or said, just go talk to him about it." Sasuke started

"Are you actually giving me advice Uchiha?" Neji replied

"Because when you're not around, Naruto isn't happy........." Sasuke trailed off as he avoided eye contact

"And how would you know that?" Neji asked with curiosity

"Because I'm the one that picked him off the ground and he was crying because of the fight he had with you" Sasuke replied with some angry tone

A moment of silence occurred as Neji lowered his eyes to the ground. He didn't know that Naruto actually cried because of him again.

"Look, just go talk to him." Sasuke told the boy

"Why......... Why are you helping us anyway?" Neji asked with hesitation

"Because in Naruto's eyes, I'm only his best and only friend. It could never go further than that. If I can't be his lover, I'm happy enough to be there when he needs me the most. And to fix up his stupid mistakes." Sasuke answered with a bit of sadness in his voice

Neji smiled a little upon hearing the last phrase when he knew it was mostly true. He closed his eyes as he started to walk away again.

"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked with worry

Sasuke took a step and extended his hand to stop Neji once more from leaving, when the Hyuga stopped himself.

"Going for a walk in the Village" Neji replied as he continued on his way

Sasuke smiled lightly, as he stuffed his hands inside his pockets.

"Looks like I didn't have to drag you there after all." Sasuke thought

Sasuke holds back the unshed tears that started to gather in his eyes as he lifted up his head to have a nice view of the full moon.

"You did the right thing Sasuke." Kakashi said as he placed a hand on the boy's shoulder

Sasuke leaned his head to the right, as he felt the comforting touch of his sensei on his shoulder.

"As long as he's happy, I'll be happy." Sasuke let out

Sasuke could no longer hold back his tears, as they slowly fell down from his eyes and onto his cheeks.

END OF FLASHBACK

============================================================================ ======================

*Ramen Shop*

Sasuke felt a light sting on his forehead as he finally came back to reality to notice that Naruto leaned over half the table and poked him on the forehead.

"Stop that you idiot!" Sasuke let out as he slapped away the blonde's hand.

"What were you thinking about?" Naruto asked as he regained his seat, and still waited for his food to arrive.

"Nothing." Sasuke answered as his eyes looked away.

"You're lying." Neji commented as his eyes locked with those of the Uchiha.

"My problem not yours." Sasuke answered as he stared with cold eyes at the Hyuga.

"Come on guys! Be nice to each other, this is the last night we're all together before you both go on your mission. So try to act like friends ne?" Naruto tapped on Neji's shoulder as he gave a big smile as Sasuke.

Both crossed their arms as they looked away, while Naruto let out a sigh, before he noticed the tray filled with ramen bowls that came their way. He suddenly stood up and hit the table with his fists as he couldn't wait for his food to arrive.

"Food food food food." Naruto repeated as the waitress handed him the tray and quickly walked away.

Naruto lost no time as he slurped his ramen into his mouth with the help of his Chinese sticks, as Neji and Sasuke simply stared at the boy, of how his eating habits had yet improved over the years.

"Naruto, if you continue to eat like that you're going to choke on it." Sasuke pointed out as he grabbed his chopsticks and ate slowly.

"Uchiha's right, although it could be interesting if it happened ..." Neji trailed off in hopes that Sasuke hadn't heard his last words.

"I never choked on anything in my entire life ..." Naruto replied as he slurped some more ramen into his mouth and looked down into his bowl.

"Yeah right. How about that time you and me took a bath together, in the nude?" Sasuke reminded the blond as he smirked.

"NANI!?" Naruto yelled out loud enough for the entire Village to hear him, as he stared at the Uchiha prodigy.

Naruto's eyes were wide open, as he dropped his chopsticks on the table, when a certain substance suddenly covered Sasuke's entire face. The Uchiha had only time to close his eyes as the liquid, mixed with some noodles, slowly fell on the table, as he gave a death glare at the boy who sat before him.

Upon hearing the words, Sasuke, Naruto, nude in a bath together, Neji had choked literally and spat out his ramen soup that was in his mouth across the table, where Uchiha Sasuke was currently sitting there.

Naruto couldn't help but laugh his butt off at seeing the scene between the his lover and his best friends, as Neji wiped off his mouth clean with a napkin, while Sasuke, started to get the sticky stuff off his face, with a towel.

After a minute of silence, both Anbus were now clean as they both glared at the young Jounin, for his loud laughter and of what he said.

"You never told me that you and Uchiha were nude in a bath, together ..." Neji repeated the sentence as he glared at the blond.

"Don't worry Neji, Sasuke didn't mean it, it's not even true anyway, he just said that to get a reaction out of you, and I think he did ..." Naruto started to laugh again as he placed his hand in front of his mouth to cover his laughter.

"I would have appreciated if you hadn't spilled everything on me though." Sasuke commented as he placed his ramen aside, since it was now contaminated by Neji's own ramen and saliva.

"That's your own damn fault." Neji replied as he tossed aside his bowl as well, no longer hungry.

"Come on you guys, you're acting like ... You're acting worse than me ..." Naruto commented as he finally finished his bowl.

As Sasuke and Neji prepared to scold the blond Jounin, a team of Anbu entered the restaurant and stopped in front of their table. All three young men simply stared up at the Anbus, as they waited to hear what they had to say.

"Uchiha Sasuke and Hyuga Neji, Hokage-sama wants to see you both immediately." The leader informed them with a neutral tone.

"What is it this time?" Naruto asked without any thought to it.

"You don't have the rank to know this information. Uchiha and Hyuga, please come with us." The Anbu leader demanded as he stepped aside so that the two Anbu Captains could step out.

Neji stood up first, as Sasuke soon followed, while Naruto was left in the dark, as usual. One of the Anbu seem to mumbled something that caught both boys ears.

"I still can't believe it's still alive ..." A lower ranked Anbu mumbled, as he thought no one heard him.

Sasuke's fists clenched, as Neji activated his Byakugan without any second thought, as the Hyuga grabbed the Anbu who spoke that way by the neck and pinned him against the wall, while he applied enough pressure so this so called shinobi had trouble to breathing.

Sasuke simply made sure that the other two wouldn't interfere, as Neji would talk some sense into that Anbu, as he used his new rank as a defense. Naruto stood up as he placed a hand on Neji's shoulder to calm him down before he actually killed the shinobi.

"Neji, he isn't worth it ..." Naruto whispered to his lover's ear.

"Fine ..." Neji cursed under his breath as he released the Anbu as this one gasped for the air that the Hyuga had deprived him from.

Sasuke looked over to see Neji calm down as he's eyes returned to focus on the two remaining Anbu, as he flared up his Sharingan.

"Listen carefully, you better treat Naruto the with respects or else we'll make sure you never get any missions for the rest of your lives." Sasuke threatened them as he released them form his deadly grip.

"You can't ..." An Anbu objected but that earned him the death glares of the Hyuga and Uchiha.

"We can, after all we're the new Anbu Captains on your squad." Neji announced to them as Sasuke continued for him.

"In other words, mess with him, you mess with us and 2 of the legendary sennins. So you better think twice before saying or doing anything to him." Sasuke warned them as he turned his back to them and walked out of the Ramen shop.

Neji and Naruto followed, as they left the Anbu in the restaurant, while Naruto seemed slightly worried about what had just happened.

--- In The Street ---

Sasuke couldn't keep his anger inside of himself as he punched the object nearest to him, which happened to be a wall made of bricks.

"You guys, you didn't have to do that you know ... With all the eyars that passed I don't really hear them anymore ..." Naruto started to explain, as Neji immediately wrapped his arms around the blonde's neck and pulled him backwards into a hug.

"Don't put that mask on when we're around Naruto ..." Neji reminded the boy as he knew Naruto better than anyone.

"Neji's right, they have no right to treat you that way. So as long as we're around, they better shut up unless they want to die so young." Sasuke tried in his own strange way to comfort the blond.

Naruto truly smiled at the words his best friend spoke as well as his lover, as he then placed his own hands over Neji's. Sasuke stared a moment before slightly turning away, as he tried to place his own mask so no one would notice.

"You should go, the old hag doesn't like her shinobis to be late ..." Naruto mumbled as Neji unwrapped his arms around his lover and stepped up to face Naruto.

"Alright, but we'll come back to see you right after." Neji softly said as he kissed Naruto's lips and then turned towards the Uchiha.

"Promise?" Naruto asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Promise." Neji answered as he stepped besides Sasuke.

"Don't worry, he'll come back even if I have to beat him." Sasuke replied in hopes to get a smile from his best friend.

Sasuke succeeded to get a reaction out of the blond, but the reply he said was what surprised him the most and caught him off guard.

"That applies to you too Sasuke. I want both your asses in my apartment after this meeting." Naruto demanded as he simply turned around and walked off.

Naruto left two shocked Anbus, but after their brain assimilated the information they both exchanged looks, as they smiled lightly due to Naruto's sentence, before they headed for Tsunade's office.

============================================================================ ======================

*Tsunade's Office*

Both boys arrived in the office, as Shizume made sure to close the door behind them. Neji and Sasuke stood in the middle of the room, when they noticed how strange Tsunade seemed. She stood next to the window, as though she was lost in her thoughts when a small growl finally caught her attention.

"I hate putting this on you boys, but I don't have any Anbu available for this kind of mission ..." Tsunade started to explain as she walked towards them.

"Just say it." Sasuke coldly demanded as he placed his hands in his pockets.

"A missing-nin has been spotted near our borders. And so I can't give it to just anyone..." Tsunade trailed off.

"You want us to hunt him down right?" Neji asked but already knew the answer.

"Hai." Tsunade answered as Sasuke didn't give her time to say much more.

"Who?" Sasuke bluntly asked.

"You never waste time do you?" Tsunade commented as this earned her a glare from both boys. "Anyway, you already know this missing-nin ..." She trailed off once more.

"Who?" Neji and Sasuke asked more coldly this time as they were tired of waiting for the answer.

"Uchiha Itachi" Tsunade finally spoke out the name as she locked eyes with Sasuke.

TBC?
