Where Are Those Friends?
By: Key-To-Destiny
It's been years since I lost thought of Konoha.
The Village Hidden in the Leaves. Now that I think back
that is where I spent my happiest years of my life. Until that incident with my
brother. But now with him and Orochimaru dead I can go back. It took a good
six years of my life but it's all worth it. All The pain and suffering I went through
all the mental scarring. All worth it! I can return to a happier place. Finally...
I can return to my friends. The friends who said they'll be with me forever and
always be loyal to me.
Naruto. I wonder if he's the same idiot, the same spikey
haired hyper-active knuckle head.
Sakura. I might have put aside your feeling for me while there.
But now I'm ready to return that love. I'm ready to feel something
other than pain and anger.
Kakashi-Sensei. You taught me plenty of things. You were always there.
You tired to protect me. Sure you failed, but at least you tired.
Ino. You might have been a pyscho. But you were nice. It was always
funny to watch you insult Sakura. Even if it did make my blood boil...
Here I am the large gates of Konoha. Funny there are no guards at the gate.
Wonder where they are.
Maybe they went for a walk. To secure the perimeter. I guess I'll just walk in.
Wow! Nothing's changed in the course of six years. Tsunade-sama has done a good
job with the village. It is annoying all the people staring. Than again I don't think I
should have worn the outfit Orochimaru gave me. But it was the only thing that still
fit me.
On I walked up the hokage tower. Walked up the spiral staircase. Straight to the Hokage's office.
"Hey old lady! I'm finally back from that crappy mission"
There's only one person in the whole world who would show such disrespect to the Hokage.
"NARUTO! Why do you continue to show such disrespect to Tsunade-sama"
Sakura. Still as fiesty as ever.
"OW OW OW! Sakura-chan that hurt"
And Violent.
"Humph" Who was that?
Of course they had to replace me it was a three cell squad.
"Naruto, Sakura, Sai just hand over the damn mission report, the scroll and get out of my office"
"Listen old lady I'm tired of getting these crappy missions"
"Yeah well...Deal!" Tsunade sighed "I need sake"
It's now or never! I knocked on the door.
I took a big breath ready to enter when allowed.
"Oh god damn it! Who is it? ENTER!"
Now or never!!
I walked in. As soon as I did everythig seemed to go slow.
Sakura stood behind the desk next to Tsuande.
Naruto was sitting on the floor legs lotus style.
The new one. He looked gay. Seriously, what self-respecting boy wears that.
He was leaning against the wall. Wait...I remember him. He was there when Naruto, Sakura,
Tried to take me back before I was ready. He was the one who tired to kill me in my sleep.
All their eyes were on me.Green, oynx, blue, and golden.
"Oh my god! Sasuke-kun!" gasped Sakura
Naruto turned around from where he was sitting. He stared.
"Sakura-chan...You are seeing who I am right?"
"Yes, Naruto. I-i see him too."
Naruto stood up. I was ready to be jumped on and hugged to death.
I closed my eyes to relish this moment. The moment of accpectance.
The moment of return.
But instead I get punched in the face.
My eyes snapped open as I flew across the room.
I hit the wall with a grunt.
Naruto. He just stood there. Staring wide-eyed at Sakura.
She was huffing. Hand still balled into a fist. Her knuckles turned white from
how tight it was held. Her eyes were on fire, but filled with tears.
I stared wide-eyed. Sakura just punched me into a wall.
Sakura was still breathing hard. Her eyes on me.
"Do you know what we've been through...DO YOU?!"She screamed at me.
I remained silent. This wasn't what I expected. I expected hugs and tears...and and
to be taken back with no questions to my motive of leaving.
"DO YU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES WE'VE TRIED TO GET YOU BACK"
It just kept going. Sakura screaming The gay boy and Naruto restraining her back.
Tsunade was just sitting there watching the thing play out before her.
When Sakura finally calmed down, on her knees crying her eyes out shaking her head.
It was Naruto's turn. His blue eyes shook with fury and hate.
"So you've come back" I nod
"What for I thought Orochimaru was the only place to get "stronger" he replied with air quotes and all.
"I killed him." I responded simply
Tsunade sat up in her chair quickly "You did what?!"
I repeated my sentence but much slower "I...Killed...Him."
She sat there wide-eyed.
"So you stab us in the back." the blonde stated " And than double cross him"
I stared again...I mean what can you answer to that. It's the ugly truth.
"Chh! You hold no loyalty"
What!? How dare he say that to me?!
My bood boiled.
"Says the one with the fox within him!" And with that said Naruto glared.
He balled his hands into fists. Pulled back and swung.
This time I was ready for it. I grabed his hand and twisted it behind him. With his back
to me he turned his head the best he could to look at him.
"Traitor!" he hissed I loosened my hold on him.
He swiftly kicked me on my side and again I was sent flying.
"Why did you come for?! Your not missed anymore! Just go back to that hole you crawled out of"
I stared wide-eyed. It couldn't be...I wasn't missed.
What were all those atte"attempts to "rescue" for.
"Naruto. He can't do that." Tsunade-sama responded "He has to go to jail now"
"WHAT!' Naruto, Sakura and I screeched
Sai just stood there competely emotionless
"What for?!" I cried
"Chh! You should know why." said the gay one
"No I don't. Enlighten me."
"Your a rogue ninja! You left the village for your own selfish reasons"
God damn it he's right! How could I forget that!
"That's right"Tsunade sighed and blew a high-pitched whistle
"The ANBU are on their way."
I turned around quickly looking for any means of escape. There were none!
The doors were blocked by Naruto. I had to get past the Hokage to get to the windows and
playing offense were Gay-Boy and Sakura.
"I'm sorry Sasuke. But this is the conscience of your actions six years before" The Hokage said as the ANBU came to take me away.
I struggled against them. But quicky karate choped on the back of the neck.
So here I am in the jail. Bonds on my hands keeping them apart.Blindfold on my eyes to keep me from using the Sharigan.
Where are those friends? The ones who said they'll always be loyal to me.
But when the going gets tough. When I do something wrong disappear.
Where are those friends.
