Chapter 1. Hidden Feeling's
OXOXOXOXOXO
"Naruto, if you don't slow down your chakra use then you're going to wear yourself out…again!"
"If I want to be Hokage someday then I have to work harder, Pervy-Sage!"
Jiraiya rolled his eyes.
"You know what Naruto," He spat, "Go ahead, do whatever you want, you're going to anyways." The kyuubi will just heal him when he's done anyways so what do I care.
"And stop calling me that you little twerp!"
It's been 3 years since him and Naruto got back from their 2 year mission, and things really haven't changed all that much, except for that Naruto went after Sasuke and got him to come back, surprisingly. It took a lot of yelling and fist flying to make him see that revenge was not the path to go. Sasuke has been back for 3 years now and no one really trusted him yet, except for Naruto, they were all warming up though. Everyone was shocked to see Naruto and Jiraiya back, but more shocked when a quite brunette was accompanying them.
When Sasuke came back he was put on house arrest, tsunade said it was for the best so he was only aloud out to practice with team 7 and his other teammates. Which this bothered him greatly, but he had to do what he could to prove his loyalties to the village. Though he would rather train alone or with Naruto, sometimes, if he didn't get too carried away. He was also not allowed to go on missions just yet, but when he was that was all up to the hokage. Though he thought it was getting a little ridicules, it had been 3 years now.
So Sasuke stayed with Kakashi. Only being allowed to leave if someone was with him at all times. It made him feel like he was a kid again and had to have someone hold his hand. Kakashi was never there, and frankly that didn't bother him at all nor did he care where his mentor was either. But If Tsunade-Sama was to find this out though Kakashi would be in for it. So he and Sasuke made a little deal just between them. Which was to keep his mouth shut and He could do whatever he pleased, as long as Sai was with him.
Sai and Sasuke Never have seen eye to eye. But Sasuke puts up with him for Naruto's Sake. But normally the two got along, normally. Naruto and Sai had gotten over their differences, but they still go at it every now and then. That's why they have Sakura there to keep them under control.
Sasuke thanked Kami everyday that she had gotten over him and found love and happiness elsewhere. Though he didn't expect it to be with Sai. But whatever made her happy, he didn't care otherwise.
Sasuke and Naruto Spent a lot of time training together and trying to outdo each other, and prove who was better. They both seemed to love to get the other one worked up, like they had when they were younger.
Even though they are almost 18 they sure didn't act like it. Naruto still had his Ramen outbursts and ran to the ramen shop and ate like there was no tomorrow, Sasuke would be right there with him hardly touching his own plate. Sasuke was changing, a lot, but he still was like his old self in a way. He was trying.
Naruto would always be Naruto, but he was growing up fast. Yes he was still that loud mouthed ninja that gave people headaches. But his maturity leaves had change, dramatically.
Naruto wasn't scrawny and weak looking anymore. His hair had grown closer to his shoulders and hung a little in his face, he grew at list a foot. He looked so much like the Forth Hokage it was shocking. He was a sight to look at.
Sasuke's hair was the same, just an inch or two longer. He had also grown up a lot as well. He and Itachi looked almost identical, except for the lines under Itachi's eyes. His Facial features were strikingly handsome, like when he was younger; just now he grew into them.
Aside from them everyone was the same except for they were all Jounin, and trained and had missions most the time so no one really got to see each other.
Naruto and Sasuke were now Jounin also, they trained day and night, everyday until they both passed. Now they were traing to become stronger than one another.
Jiraiya turned away from Naruto, they had been training all day and he had other…important things to take care of. He really didn't want to sit here all day watching Naruto try the new Jutsu he showed him.
They were by the waterfall where they always trained, Naruto thought because women came up here to swim with their friends and Jiraiya could watch them while he trained. But there had been no girls all day so chances were there weren't going to be no-
"Eek, Oh Akira! Stop it that's cold!"
Jiraiya jerked his head to where the voices where coming from, he ran over to a set of bushes, giggle like a little school girl.
"Oh sweet sweet love, I have been blessed" He cried out softly in joy.
Naruto stopped what he was doing and looked at the old helpless man.
Not Again, He thought.
"What the hell are you doing, I thought you were supposed to be helping me, bastard, that's what teachers do!" He yelled picking up his kunai knife ready to throw it at the man.
"Shh, be quit you fool you're going to blow my cover, now go do something useful were done for the day. I have a story to write," He hissed pulling out a notepad and pencil.
Naruto growled, "Whatever old man, you're pathetic"
He grabbed his pack with all his things and stormed off yelling incoherent things to the wind.
Jiraiya wasn't paying any attention, he was already writing away.
"Dumb old man, who does he think he is cutting in to my training like that, stupid Damn Baka, what the hell is his problem anyways, there just girls for kami sake!"
Naruto was rambling on and wasn't paying attention to where he was going.
"I mean come on what guy would sit and fantasies about stuff like that, Jiraiya that's who, fucking goddamn no good for nothi-"
"Oof"
Naruto landed on the ground.
What the hell...
Naruto looked up and seen Sasuke Looking down at him Rubbing his head.
"What the hell dobe, you always not look where you're going."
"Sorry teme, I wasn't paying attention" he said standing up wiping the dirt off his clothes.
Sasuke crossed his arms, "Didn't you see me I was saying your name and everything, baka you just barreled right in me,"
"I said I was sorry I wasn't paying attention," He explained, still frustrated and started walking again.
Sasuke was right behind him.
"Whatever it's fine, why were you storming through the forest like that anyway?"
The blonde told him what Jiraiya did and that he had to leave that horny old perv in peace.
Sasuke smirked, "Why didn't you stay and watch with him."
"Like I would want to, I have better things to do than sit around watching dumb girls swim." He rolled his eyes.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "Right." What normal guy wouldn't?
Naruto looked over at the brunette.
"So what are you doing out here, stalking me?" He asked with a Smirk.
Sasuke chuckled and glanced at him, "Yeah in your dreams Uzumaki. I was looking for you to see if you wanted to spar, but you look like you had enough for one day."
Naruto almost laughed.
"I can never have enough Uchiha, and where is your babysitter at anyway?"
Sasuke stopped walking and put his hands in his pockets.
"Sai, he and Sakura wanted to go out somewhere so I told him I was going to come here and find you. I don't need a babysitter."
The blonde looked at him for a minute before walking on.
"Apparently you do teme, well Granny-Sama thinks you do anyways," He chuckled.
They kept walking till they reached training ground 3, which was unoccupied.
"Well it's been long enough, how long are they going to keep treating me like this," He said irritably throwing down his pack.
Naruto threw his down also.
"I don't know Sasuke, but let's hope you can at least do a mission with me soon," His face was unreadable as he walked by Sasuke to the middle of the opening.
Sasuke watched Naruto for a minute before he followed him.
"Yeah, that would be nice, but who knows." He got into a fighting stance as Naruto just had done.
"I'll talk to the old woman tomorrow and see if I can't change her mind a little, I mean I'm going to be the next hokage soon, so I do get some say in it right?" He grinned.
Sasuke rolled his eyes," Sure dobe, whatever you say." I'm going to laugh when I see him flying out of the Hokage's window.
Naruto Grinned "Enough of this lets GO!" He flew at him.
The brunette smirked and disappeared.
XOXOXOXOXOXOX
It was getting late, you could see the stars lighting up the sky.
Naruto Landed on the ground on his back breathing heavily. Sasuke right beside him both supporting cuts, burns and more.
"I'm beat teme, we'll finish this tomorrow," He said lifting himself off the ground.
Sasuke was already standing and offered him a hand.
Naruto took it and stood up but lost his footing just a little and fell in to the brunette.
Sasuke grabbed him and steadied him," You okay dobe?" He wouldn't admit it but he was concerned.
Naruto stared into the Uchiha's eyes for a long moment, they were so close. Sasuke was half hugging him, to keep him from falling. Naruto could feel his breathe on his face.
He pulled himself away from Sasuke's grasp. Said boy let him go and stepped back.
"Sasuke, I'm fine, just tired is all."
Sasuke put his hand in his pockets and gave the blonde a little smirk.
"Just making sure I didn't beat you up to much dobe."
"No I'm okay," He looked down at the ground, so he didn't have to make eye contact with the brunette.
Sasuke frowned, what's up with him.
Naruto walked over and grabbed his pack from the ground and threw it over his shoulder then picked up Sasuke's and tossed it over to him.
Sasuke still frowning cault it.
"Let's head home teme," Naruto said walking off toward the village.
Sasuke stared after him for a second before he followed him.
The walk home was quite, Naruto's apartment was not far from kakashi's, so they walked together.
Sasuke felt uncomfortable, Naruto was acting wired. Nothing had happened between them, he just lost his balance and the Uchiha grabbed him. Naruto was acting like they had kissed again like they did so many years ago.
That kiss. It had changed a lot of things for Sasuke and how he looked at his best friend. He knew what he felt for Naruto was more than friendship, but he would never tell Naruto that. What would be he point in it? Naruto didn't feel the same as he did. He would just make a fool out of himself. Which indeed would mess up everything that they were, friends, and that's all they would ever be. So Sasuke had to put his feelings aside and ignore them like he always had.
But these feelings were getting stronger and harder to hide, just like back there. The erg to kiss the blonde was over powering. Thank Kami he knew how to control himself to a point, sometimes.
Kakashi's place came into view.
"Ill see you tomorrow kay teme, I still wanna talk to Baa-Chan about easing up on you a little," he laughed but Sasuke knew it was forced.
"Alright see you later, night," He looked at the blonde one last time and walked up the steps.
"Night Sasuke," Naruto Watched him walk inside.
He walked home in deep thought, similar to the ones his friend was just having.
He walked inside his apartment and closed the door, no bothering to turn on the lights or even grab something to eat.
He lay down on the couch and put his arm over his eyes.
How did this happen and how could he stop it before at killed him. He had to drop these feelings for his best friend and forget they ever happened. How he let it get this bad he did not know. But one thing he knew was his feelings he shared for a certain Uchiha would never been returned to him. So he would live with this, and never let these feelings so.
He fell asleep agonizing over a love that would never happen.
