Prologue

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

The Final Valley

As Naruto's Demon Fox Rasengan clashed with Sasuke's 2nd State chidori, a new idea came to him. After they both got up from the explosion that followed, Naruto yelled at Sasuke,

"Sasuke! You don't have to go to Orochimaru!"

"How else am I going to get more powerful? How else do I destroy Itachi? Going to Orochimaru is my only option!"

Naruto was desperate. "No it's not!"

"What else am I supposed to do?"

Naruto almost couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. "I help you."

Sasuke almost lost it.

"How could YOU help ME? You don't know the hatred I have! You don't know the pain!"

"Then let me help! Allow me to shoulder some of that pain for you! I can help you! All of Konoha can."

Then the reality of it hit Sasuke. "I could get help. I don't have to do this alone."

"Why would you want to help me? After all that's happened, after all I've put you through, why me?" As Sasuke was saying this, both the curse mark and the Demon Fox chakra were receding.

"Because you're my friend."

"Really? You would do that for me?"

After this, the only traces of the curse mark and the Nine tails were the mark, and Naruto's whiskers.

"Please Sasuke," Naruto said, almost in tears. "Please come home."

After a moment of pause, Sasuke replied, "Alright."

At that moment, Kakashi and Pakkun arrived as Naruto fell unconscious at Sasuke's feet.

"Oh crap! Was I too late?" Kakashi thought.

"It's alright Kakashi-sensei," Sasuke said. "I'm coming home."
