I Don't own Naruto
"WHAT!" He shouted, his voice echoing around the sound proof office. "YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS NOW! YOU NEVER THOUGHT IT WASN'T IMPORTANT ENOUGH BEFORE THIS? IS THAT IT. OR DO YOU JUST LIKE TO SEE ME SUFFER!"
"Calm down."
"CALM DOWN?"
"I didn't tell you because I knew this is how you would react."
"IT DAMN WELL WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IF YOU HAD BLOODY TOLD ME!"
"Do you want to now why?"
"DAMN STRAIGHT I WANT TO KNOW WHY!"
"It wasn't to cause you pain."
"No, that was just a bonus, wasn't it, just a fucking bonus, wasn't it? I died that day, do you know that? My life fell completely to pieces. I thought that I would rather die. After all, the only thing I had to keep me going was a promise, a promise I had already broken, and a promise to the one who had broken the first. Broken me."
"It was for Konoha, we needed this. It was important."
"There was no one else?"
"No."
"Why. Why was I never told? Could you not trust me? Think that I could never keep a secret. What do you call Kyuubi what do you call it when you're falling apart and all you can do is smile and laugh, and pretend they aren't throwing knives in you?"
"He asked. He asked that you never knew." came the solom voice. A hollow, bitter laugh echoed through the office.
"He did, did he? I bet he loved that. Bet he knew how much it would hurt me to think that he meant every word, every blow. Everything that happened that day. I bet he loved it too, I bet he enjoyed sticking that chidori in me."
"No, you're wrong, he thought that it would cause you less pain, not more."
"Ha."
"He's coming back."
"Of course he is. When?"
"This week."
"Why."
"He didn't say."
"No, he wouldn't have. Why are you telling me?"
"You are the Hokage now, he's your responsibility."
"I can't."
"You will."
"When's he coming back." Naruto's voice broke. A soft voice came from the shadows.
"He's back now. . .dobe."
A/N: For those of you who didn't get it, Tsunade was telling Naruto, the new Hokage, that Sasuke had been a Konoha spy.
