This is my first fan fiction and a yaoi story of Naruto and Sasuke. The setting is set after the Great Ninja War where they won against Madara and Obito. The story contains elements that are included in the war, which was only shown in the manga yet and not the anime, so if you do not want spoilers, I suggest not reading yet. But if you're both yaoi, lemon and adventure/fight-scenes lovers, the story will be for you since this contains the Chuunin exams that Naruto, Sasuke and Karin will be taking.
Also there are some Japanese words, or sentences but don't worry because they are just translations of the English sentences they follow or precede.
Disclaimer: Naruto does not belong to me. It belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I just used the themes from the series and the characters to make this fan fiction. All credit for the creation and conception of Naruto goes to the maker.
NARUTO X SASUKE
Chapter 1
Confession
It was a beautiful day in the Hidden Leaf Village. The sun shone brightly and the sky was clear. The breeze was cool and was the perfect day to go training. Half a year has passed after the Great Ninja War ended and Madara was defeated. And with an unexpected turn of events Naruto has finally brought back his old friend Sasuke back to the Hidden Leaf. It was just like the old times and Team Kakashi was once again complete. The other shinobi of the Hidden Leaf 11 had a difficulty in accepting Sasuke's return but they soon got into it being that Sasuke was once their friend and part of the Leaf. However it was still sad for them that Neji Hyuuga was killed in the war but seeing that Naruto not being consumed by hate for Madara when Neji died, it helped the others to accept this and they always kept Neji in their hearts.
At the training grounds of the Leaf stood the shinobi who has finally returned to the village. Sasuke Uchiha stood there near the post where his comrade was once tied for breaking the rules and trying to sneak a bite at their lunch. This was one of the few places in the Hidden Leaf which was not destroyed by Pain's Almighty Push since it was in the outskirts of the village. Sasuke reminisced at the old days when he was still in the Leaf about 5 years ago.
He was training so hard to get strong in order to kill his brother Itachi. He did manage to kill Itachi but it turned out to be a tragedy once Sasuke found out about the truth. But then, there was one person who persisted to take away the darkness in Sasuke's heart. He has made Sasuke move on about the tragedy of his brother Itachi's life and to continue Itachi's Will of Fire to protect the Leaf so that his brother's death will not be in vain.
Then he heard the footsteps of someone coming to the training grounds. It was the blond-haired shinobi who brought him back to the village. Naruto Uzumaki. He was glad that his friend Naruto agreed to train with him and now he's here.
"Oi, dobe! Why are you late?" Sasuke shouted.
"I just went for a chow of ramen with special menma down at Ichiraku's." Naruto replied.
"Well it's about time you showed up, I thought you had been scared of the thought of having to spar with me." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face.
"Who? Me? Naruto Uzumaki, scared of you, temê? Do you think the Hero of the Hidden Leaf will be scared of a temê like you?" shouted Naruto.
"Well, enough with the talk, let's spar." said the Uchiha.
They mostly focused on taijutsu. Of course Naruto still used his trademark Shadow Clones but Sasuke kept up with him using his Sharingan. Most of the clones vanished instantly as the Uchiha struck fast and easily and then landing a kick to Naruto's stomach. Naruto retreated for a while. He noticed something. Though Sasuke easily took out his clones, when it came to hitting the real him, Sasuke did not use much force on Naruto as he would have when they would spar when they were kids. He felt like Sasuke did not want to inflict harm to him.
'Why is that?' Naruto asked himself.
Naruto then decided to use this to his advantage. He made three more clones and then used the Na-ru-to Uzumaki Barrage against Sasuke. He connected with it but at the finishing axe kick, he felt his leg unconsciously reduce the force of the blow just like Sasuke did.
'Why did Naruto hold back?' Sasuke wondered to himself.
They continued like this for a little more time, but neither of them being able to inflict finishing blows to each other until they decided to end the spar session.
Sasuke himself knew all along why he couldn't bring to hurt Naruto. It was because he liked him. Not just as his friend, but more than that. After finally returning to the village more than a year ago, Sasuke's feelings for Naruto started to build-up. He couldn't help but think of how hard Naruto tried to track him, to risk his life just so that he could return to the village. He never felt more care coming from another person other than the blond shinobi who was right in front of him, suddenly calling out to him and bringing him from his thoughts into the present.
"Ne, Sasuke! It seems like we're not doing our best in this spar session, don't you think? Why don't we take a break first?" Naruto suggested.
This made Sasuke smile. This just gave him an opportunity to make a move.
"Then how about some ramen at Ichiraku's. I'll pay for it." Sasuke offered.
The sound of ramen was enough to make Naruto giggle in excitemênt.
'I just had a bowl of delicious ramen this morning and now Sasuke's offering another one for free. I can't let this pass.' Naruto thought to himself.
"Well, okay then, let's go!" Naruto happily replied.
'Bingo. I knew Naruto would not be able to resist my offer.' Sasuke thought, with a smirk on his face.

The two shinobi walked together towards Ichiraku's. Sasuke was turned-on just by the thought that he would be eating with Naruto. They arrived at the shop and they were welcomed by Ayame, who seemed surprised to see that Sasuke Uchiha would be eating ramen at their place.
"Good morning Naruto, and Sasuke. Now why would you be eating ramen again Naruto when you just had a bowl around 3 hours ago?" she asked.
"Well, Sasuke and I were taking a break from training then he offered to eat here, and I just couldn't pass on it." Naruto responded.
"Now that's something you don't see every day. I never thought that Sasuke would also like to eat ramen and that he would even treat you on this one. You two surely have become good friends again, eh, Naruto." Ayame commented.
"We sure have!" Naruto agreed. After a few minutes the 2 bowls of ramen were served, and without wasting time,
"Itadakimasu!" said both.
Sasuke watched Naruto eating his ramen, trying not to look like he was staring at him. But he wanted to look at Naruto, at his smiling face as he ate his ramen. He liked Naruto more than he admits. He just wanted to watch him but suddenly Naruto asked him,
"Are you going to eat your ramen or what? You can always give it to me if you don't want to eat it."
"Of course I'm going to eat it, dobe. I was just wondering what these circular things on top of the ramen are, with the red swirls on them." Sasuke reasoned.
But Sasuke did not just say that for just a reason. He wanted to hear Naruto's voice, how he sounded when he was speaking of something he likes and with a hint of pride on his face. That turned Sasuke on.
"Well, those are called Narutomaki. And as the name implies, that is where the name of the hero of the book "Tales of a Gutsy Ninja" by Jiraiya-sensei was taken from, and because I was named after this hero, I would say that's also where my name comes from." Naruto said proudly.
"And you know the 'maki' in Narutomaki is also present in my last name 'Uzumaki'" he added.
"Seriously, you were named after a ramen condiment?" Sasuke said with a little chuckle. He so wanted it when Naruto spoke of himself. Then Sasuke took the opportunity to ask yet again another question.
"Speaking of Uzumaki, do you even know where the rest of your clan are? I mean you're the only Uzumaki in this village."
"When did you become interested in knowing about that? I mean you never wanted to know about me before." Naruto asked with confusion.
"Let's just say I'm getting to know my friend." Sasuke reasoned.
"Well, um, I guess that's a good enough explanation." Naruto agreed.
"As my mother told me through the chakra left in my Eight-Trigrams seal of the Nine-Tails, the Uzumaki Clan originated from the Land of Eddies/Whirlpools. They wore forehead protectors with the character of 'Uzu' meaning whirlpool. They were known for their vitality and longetivity. I guess that why I heal up so fast. Most of them have red hair like my mother. If you remember Karin and Nagato, they were also from the Uzumaki Clan. Well the thing is, the clan specialized in sealing jutsus and because of this the other lands feared them so they formed an alliance and attacked the Land of Eddies. The survivors fled to the different nations and the Land of Eddies was no more." Naruto narrated with a quite sad expression on his face.
"I never knew about what happened to your clan before. It somehow reminds me of my own clan, how those who feared them for their Sharingan decided to massacre them and even put my brother in the role of being the one to eliminate my clan. It is sad." Sasuke said, wanting Naruto to know he understands him.
"At least the Uzumaki clan still lives on and even in this village." Naruto said proudly.
"You know that the Leaf Village shinobis wear the red spiral crest on their vests right? Well, that's the crest of the Land of Eddies, of the Uzumaki Clan, and knowing about these makes me proud that even though our clan was destroyed and dispersed, our existence will not be forgotten."
The two finished their bowls and Sasuke has paid the bill. They got up and started walking then Sasuke said,
"How about we go to your house?" Sasuke suggested. Sasuke really wanted to spend more time with Naruto that he couldn't help saying it.
"What do you mean go to my house? Are you alright Sasuke, because I think something's wrong with your head." Naruto said and stared at Sasuke with a very confused look on his face.
"Nothing's wrong with me dobe, I just suggested it since we don't have families and you know were friends now, and maybe a visit to your house and giving you company would only be natural." Sasuke said in a low voice not being able to look at Naruto directly.
"So you really think of us as friends?" asked Naruto, with a blush on his face.
Sasuke noticed this, and made him wonder if Naruto might have the same feelings for him as he does for Naruto.
"Of course I do." Sasuke replied.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXX
As they walked, Sasuke was buried deep inside his thoughts. He was asking himself,
'Could Naruto feel the same way towards me? Will he be disgusted with me and reject me if I told him about how I feel about him? Should I tell him now?'
He felt a twitch in his stomach. He never felt as nervous and scared like this before. He really wanted to tell Naruto of his feelings but he was afraid of rejection. But it has been going on for so long and the feelings were bottled up deep inside him and anytime soon might burst out.
They reached Naruto's new apartment and they walked inside his room. It had only one bed and on the other side of the place was a table, a refrigerator and a bathroom.
'Naruto really lived alone since he was born and grew up without having anyone with him.' Sasuke thought as he felt sad about it.
"So, Sasuke, do you have anything in mind that we should do?" asked the blond-haired boy.
'Yes, there's a lot in my mind that I want to do with you, and only you.' he thought to himself. 'This is it. This is the moment I've been waiting for. I have to tell Naruto how I feel. Yoshi!'
"How about we sit at your bed first?" Sasuke suggested as he motioned to the bed.
"Huh? Why the bed? Sasuke you know you really are acting kinda weird today." Naruto spoke as he felt kind of nervous as about to what he thinks is going to happen next.
The two sat on the bed looking at each other. "So, what now?" Naruto asked with curiosity.
"Naruto..." Sasuke started as he looked at Naruto's face not blinking.
"The real reason I wanted to go with you to your place is because I wanted to tell you something. I want you to listen carefully. Anata ni hanashitai koto ga aru nda. Kiite kudasai."
Naruto nodded while suddenly feeling his heart beat faster, and his stomach feels like there are butterflies hitting its walls. He felt like he knew what Sasuke was going to tell him and blood rushed to his cheeks without him knowing.
"I like you Naruto. Daisuki, Naruto" Sasuke whispered softly near the blonde's ear.
Naruto's heart beat faster with those words that he heard and as if unsure that he heard correctly he asked,
"Wha-what did yo-you say?"
"I said I LIKE you... NARUTO!"
Naruto was surprised about what Sasuke said but then again he wasn't surprised because the words came out of nowhere but because those were the words Naruto has wanted to hear for a very long time. He too, liked Sasuke and now that Sasuke told him he likes him, he was so relieved that they both feel the same way about each other. Naruto was also scared of confessing his feelings for Sasuke that he did not even bother to do it and make the first move but he was relieved that it was Sasuke who told him first. Now he can also tell Sasuke how he feels about him.
"I like you too, Sasuke. Daisuki mo, Sasuke." he replied looking straightly at Sasuke's eyes.
Then suddenly the both of them held each other in a warm embrace and leaned the heads forward. Then they kissed each other on the lips, both their eyes closed as to feel only the warmth of their kiss, which was the symbol of their feelings for each other. This has to be the best moment in their lives, yet. Then as their pulled apart, they opened their eyes and stared at each other, feeling the mutual desire they have.
"I'm so glad you feel the same way Naruto." Sasuke said with gleaming eyes.
"Me too Sasuke, I'm so happy that you like me too." Naruto replied.
"There's something I want to do." Sasuke said as he unzipped Naruto's jacket until the skin of his neck was exposed. Sasuke leaned as he kissed Naruto's neck. Naruto felt chills run down his spine as he moaned at the pleasure he was feeling. Then Naruto felt that Sasuke has bit his neck, like a vampire, and he felt the slight pain of it but he was too occupied by the way Sasuke had his mouth on his neck that he didn't complain. Then he felt Sasuke suck on the wound drawing out blood. This relieved Naruto of the slight pain on his neck as he said with a moan,
"Hhnnn! Sasuke don't stop! It feels so good!" the blond moaned.
But Sasuke pulled away and Naruto felt slightly disappointed. Then Sasuke leaned in again embracing Naruto as their cheeks touch and then he said to Naruto,
"Naruto, that mark that I gave, will be the mark that tells you are now mine and that you belong only to me. I have drawn out your blood, and have let it course through my body, your blood which is your essence and a proof that no matter what you will be with me forever, and that I promise to love you and no one but you only."
The blond blushed so much that his face was redder than a red-faced macaque in the hot-springs.
"Do you really mean that Sasuke?" he asked.
"Of course, Naruto. From the bottom of my heart." He kissed Naruto again and they explored each other's moist cavern.
"Then Sasuke. Let me give you my mark. The mark that will tell that you are mine and that I've claimed you. That you are the most precious person to me and the only one whom I will love for an eternity." Naruto said.
"Then claim me Naruto, so that I can be yours and yours alone." Sasuke replied, wanting Naruto to do the same to him as he did to Naruto earlier.
Naruto then removed Sasuke's Uchiha signature shirt which was covering his neck. He stared at Sasuke's pale and well-toned body. He caressed Sasuke's chest and the Uchiha let out a loud moan, a moan of pleasure that he had wanted for so long.
Naruto looked at Sasuke's eyes and Sasuke nodded. Naruto leaned in and tasted Sasuke's neck. It was hot and a little salty, from the sweat made by their intimacy. He swirled his tongue around it and all that Sasuke could do was hold Naruto ever so tightly while saying his lover's name.
"Naruto... Naruto... go, claim me. I'm yours. Ore wa anata no mono."
Then he felt Naruto's teeth tearing the skin of his flesh and his blood as it flowed down from it. He didn't even feel the pain from it as the pleasure from Naruto's mouth was so good that it blocked his sense of pain. Then Naruto drew out his blood, sucking his wound like a vampire hungry for its prey. Naruto could taste the iron in Sasuke's blood but he could also feel that it was Sasuke himself that he tastes, his very essence going through his body and then circulating around him.
"Sasuke, you taste so good." was all he could mutter. Then Naruto pulled away and again looked at Sasuke, never blinking, not wanting to miss the sight of his lover. They drew closer again and kissed each other so passionately. They hadn't notice that it was already dark outside. The time flew by without them knowing. The only thing on their mind was each other. They both lied down on the bed, holding each other tightly and fell asleep with each other's warm embrace.

It was now morning and the sun shone through the window and across Naruto's face. The heat awakened him and then he found Sasuke still asleep holding him ever so tightly, never letting go during the night. Naruto leaned his face over Sasuke's and watched him for a moment. Being careful not to wake him up, he placed a gentle kiss on Sasuke's cheek then got up from the bed. Naruto never imagined that what happened yesterday really did happen and knowing that it did really happen made him happy. He was finally with Sasuke, the one person he wanted to be with.
Naruto decided to take a shower after remembering that team Kakashi had a meeting later that morning. He grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom. He took off his clothes, and then let the water hit his face. He felt so refreshed. After his bath, he got out wearing only a towel around his waist. He was surprised to see that Sasuke was waiting for him at the table in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Naruto. Had a good sleep last night?" he asked.
"Yes Sasuke. The most wonderful one." answered the blond whose hair was still dripping with water.
"You know you really should have waked me up earlier. Seeing that you weren't beside made me fear that what happened yesterday was just a dream." Sasuke told him with a worried face.
"I'm sorry Sasuke. I promise I won't leave you like that next time. Uhmm, by the way you should start taking a bath too because we still have that meeting with Sakura and Kakashi-sensei." he reminded Sasuke.
"Then join me and let's take a bath together." Sasuke suggested with a face that told Naruto he was in want.
"Come on Sasuke, I've already taken a bath. And maybe we should take things slow." Naruto reasoned.
"You're no fun Naruto." Sasuke said with disappointment seen visibly on his face. "But I guess you're right. We should take it slow so that the happiness yet to come will feel the best.

Later that morning, the two shinobi went to the bridge that was their usual meeting place. Sakura was already there and they saw her wave at them shouting.
"Ohayou SASUKE! Naruto!"
"Ohayou Sakura!" Naruto shouted as well, also waving his hand.
Sakura then felt a little disappointment that Sasuke didn't even greet her a good morning but she kept a smiling face. Sasuke was always like this to Sakura, but Sakura always liked Sasuke and that when Sasuke left the village she cried her heart out. But now she was just glad that Sasuke was here again and that their team was complete once more.
"Hey, where's Kakashi-sensei?" asked Naruto.
"You know the answer Naruto. He's probably late from watching the Make-Out Paradise Film which came out yesterday, and then he probably decided to reread his stupid book for the nth time and stayed up late last night." Sakura replied. Then a puff of smoke suddenly appeared, and Kakashi was sitting on the railings of the bridge.
"Well, good morning you guys. Sorry I'm late. There was this old lady who needed to carry her bags to her house and I just helped her." Kakashi reasoned.
"What a lame excuse Kakashi-sensei. We all know that you could make a Shadow Clone to do that for you." said Sasuke.
"Well let's just skip the formalities and start this meeting. It's not actually much of a meeting. I just came here to tell you guys that three days from now we will be heading to the Land of Water, in the Village Hidden in the Mist to conduct an escort mission. We will be escorting a relative of the Fire Daimyou for a very important meeting." Kakashi informed them.
"Ano sa, Kakashi-sensei. How come that we still have to go on missions together, you know, the four of us? I'm not implying I don't like being with you guys but I was wondering when I'll get to take a mission on own." Naruto asked.
"Well for starters, only chuunins and jounins are qualified to lead missions and go to missions alone and since I am a jounin, I'm here to lead you, because you Naruto, as well as you Sasuke are technically still genins. We can't let genins go out on missions alone. It's in the rules. You just have to take up the next Chuunin exams and then become a jounin after that." Kakashi replied.
"But come on Kakashi-sensei, I'm even way stronger than you are. Why do I have to take this stupid Chuunin exam, when you might as well just promote me to jounin." Naruto reasoned.
"There are steps everyone has to follow. Do you think your father, the Fourth Hokage became the Hokage without being a chuunin or jounin first. If there are no other questions then we'll meet here again same time after three days so don't be late. Ja ne! (See yah!)" Then Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
After Kakashi has gone, Sasuke put his face close to Naruto's ear.
"Hey. Don't be disappointed. We could always take the exams together. It will be just a date for the two of us. And speaking of dates, why don't we take a walk on the forest. Just the two of us." he whispered.
"But what about Sakura?" Naruto asked with worry.
"Don't worry Naruto. We can ditch her. Sakura's used to me doing that stuff with her." he explained.
"Yeah I know but Sakura's our friend. Wouldn't she be..." Naruto reasoned but he was cut off by Sakura.
"Hey you two, what the hell are you guys whispering about?" Sakura asked in a loud voice.
"Sakura, we just uhm..." Naruto reasoned but now he was cut off by Sasuke.
"We were talking about the training we two are supposed to do in the forest today. So I guess we'll take off." Sasuke said.
"But wait, can't I come with you?" Sakura asked, hoping that she could.
"You should head to the village Sakura, you have things to do at the hospital right?" Sasuke asked in return.
"Well, I guess I do have some stuff to do. Well take care you two." she said while waving her hand and going to the direction of the village.
"How about that Naruto, we're finally alone again." Sasuke said with a grin on his face.
"You can really be mean sometimes, Sasuke." said Naruto.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXX
When the two shinobi started their walk towards the forest, Sakura appeared from the shadows. They did not know that Sakura would be following them as they thought they had ditched her already. Sakura was suspecting the way Sasuke wanted to go alone with Naruto in the forest to train. She knew Sasuke didn't like to be with Naruto that much. So to clear her suspicions, she followed them without letting them know her presence.
Then when she was nearly out off the woods and near the clearing, her eyes were hit by the sun's rays blinding her for a moment. After her eyes have recovered, she stared with a huge shock on her face. She saw Sasuke kissing Naruto, the two holding each other in a tight embrace. She put her hand on her mouth and gasped.
She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Sasuke, the man of her dreams, was alone with their teammate Naruto, kissing in the forest. She would not have been as shocked to see Sasuke kissing another girl besides her, but this, Naruto, another guy, it was impossible. But the truth lay before her eyes. She cried and started to run off. Sasuke heard her the moment she ran off and realized what he and Naruto had done.
"Stay here Naruto. I'll go talk with Sakura. I know that I'm the one she wants and probably the reason why she's crying now. I'll straighten things with her." Sasuke said without holding his horses and ran after her.
"Sasuke wait. Let me come too. Sakura's also my friend." Naruto shouted.
"No stay here. it probably might hurt her more to see us together." Sasuke replied.
After searching in the forest, Sasuke finally found Sakura. She was sitting against a tree, her arms holding her knees and crying. Sasuke approached her but Sakura noticed this and shouted,
"Go away Sasuke! Leave me alone!".
"You know I can't do that. I've hurt you Sakura and I'm sorry you have to find out this way." Sasuke said with apologetic eyes, looking very serious about what he said.
Sakura sobbed, breathing low and faster than normal. Then after a while she held her tears back to face Sasuke.
"Why Naruto, Sasuke? Why is it him? I would have understood it if it was another girl, but Naruto? He's another guy like you and he happens to be my friend and teammate too. I couldn't believe it Sasuke. I just fell apart at the thought that the man of my dreams is in love with a guy. That he's a gay." Sakura said as she tried her best to hold back her tears.
"I'm really sorry Sakura. I've always known that you like me, but I'm sorry I never returned the same feelings towards you." Sasuke said.
"Is it because all this time you liked guys? That you're gay?" Sakura asked.
"Sakura, I'm not gay." he replied.
"Then why did you kiss Naruto, embraced him like he was your lover?" Sakura asked again, wanting to believe that Sasuke has a good explanation for this.
"I'm not gay Sakura. I like girls, you know. I've never thought of being with another guy before. But Naruto, when I left the village, he did all he could to bring me back. He risked even his life to make me see the reason to come back. He became my light when I was in the darkness. He took away all the dark emotions that have been stirring in my heart for a long time. He didn't hate me even when I said I wanted to break our bonds of friendship before. He tried his best to keep that bond. He was there for me. After a few months since I returned to the Leaf, I started to realize all this. I started to like Naruto." Sasuke told the crying kunoichi.
"Sakura, I want you to understand that I did not come to like Naruto because he is a guy and that as you say, because I'm a homosexual. I am not. I did not like him because of his looks. I liked Naruto because of the things he did for me. It just so happens that the one who was able to make me fall was Naruto and that he is the same gender as I am. I know it is hard to understand but if it ever happened that it was a girl who did all those for me, I'd also fall for her." he explained.
"But Sasuke, didn't I do those things for you too? You could have loved me too as I love you." Sakura stated, with a hope that Sasuke's heart could still be changed and that he will choose her.
"You did do those things for me too but Naruto moved my heart deeper. He was the one who never gave up hope for someone like me who brought pain to my village. Then I just fell for him." said Sasuke.
"I'm really sorry Sakura, for things turning out this way." Sasuke once again apologized.
"Sasuke, do you really love him, Naruto?" she asked wanting to confirm it again.
"Yes Sakura, I do." he replied.
"Then we'll meet again after three days." said Sasuke.
"In three days." Sakura said too.
"I have to go now. Naruto's probably waiting for me. He's worried about you too, you know. Well, ja ne." he said as he started to go back to where Naruto's waiting.
"Bye, Sasuke." Sakura said silently after Sasuke was quite far from her.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXX
"So how did it go with Sakura?" Naruto asked with a very concerned look on his eyes.
"It was hard for her to take it all in. She did not expect that any of these could have happened. But I did my best to explain to her." he answered.
"I feel so sorry for Sakura. Why does it have to be the two of us who made her cry? She's our teammate and our friend. I used to really like Sakura before. I was head over heels for her before. I cared for her and it makes me feel bad that I hurt her." Naruto said with tears starting to fall from his eyes.
"I understand how you feel Naruto, I also feel bad about what happened. But there's nothing we can do now. I love you Naruto and I don't think I'll be able to live if we part." Sasuke said wanting Naruto to understand his feelings for him.
"I love you too Sasuke, I don't want to leave your side too." he replied.
"Then let's stay together no matter how difficult the coming days will be. We can overcome it and prove that our love for each other is the strongest." Sasuke said,
They looked at each other's eyes and gave each other a deep kiss which to them felt like things are going to be just fine.
Notes:
You may have noticed that the scene about Naruto and Sasuke claiming each other through giving a bite mark may be taken from some other fan fiction. Well I must say that the idea was from a fan fiction I've read about Naruto and Hinata. I decided to include it because in my country, the people from about 500 years ago would also drink blood when they make promises or treaties. If I'm correct the leader of the two parties will cut their skin on their hand to let blood flow on a certain drink. Then their blood will be mixed with the drink and then both of them will drink from the same cup therefore somehow symbolizing that they will stay true to the agreement because they have drank each other's blood.
