AN: I don't own Naruto!

It had been 7 years since he had set foot in the leaf village, and even though his Uchiha up bringing forbid him from doing so, he allowed the smallest of smiles to flicker across his lips as he saw the gates come in to view before putting it under control. As he walked toward the gates he began contemplating it all... was it actually worth it?

He honestly couldn't tell if it was. The three weeks after killing Orochimaru where he had done nothing but scrub his skin raw in an attempt to rid himself from that sickening smell and feel of that blood that had covered him, and sure gaining the revenge he wanted on Itachi had filled him with pride for about thirty seconds until the dawning of the more important point, he really was alone now. He was officially the last Uchiha, and that moment of pride crashed down leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. He spent a while just wandering aimlessly. As if by some miracle he'd be walking and a reason for his existence would become clear again. The words of Kakashi once again rang through his mind ' For those who follow the path of revenge, it never ends well.. You'll only tear yourself apart. And even if you succeed and you get your revenge, what will you have then? Nothing. Emptiness' it worried him to find himself wishing he had listened, wishing he had fought the curse mark which was now nothing but a dull scar on his shoulder, wishing he had fought his thirst for power and also wishing that when Naruto had managed to drag him back to the village. As he reached the gates, he slowed to a stop, took a deep breath and step forward. Of course within milliseconds he was faced with 3 ANBU, he hadn't bothered hiding his chakra on his way to the village so he had expected something like this.

"The Hokage is not going to believe this.." Chuckled the closest ANBU, he was wearing a mask depicting a cat. He roughly grabbed Sasuke whilst one of the others placed handcuff on him, he then felt his charka depleting. "Shame we're going to have to ruin the party." Another one added. And they set of towards the Hokage tower.

Now Naruto was always one for a party, and this party was no different, the punch had been spiked within the first twenty minutes and now every ones ambitions had pretty much gone straight out of the window, after all how often does the Hokage turn twenty? Yeah it had happened 6 months ago, Tsunade had finally stepped down and Naruto had taken on the role as the 6th Hokage and so now he was taking full advantage of the Hokage tower to host his 20th birthday party.

So finding himself sandwiched happily between a laughing Sakura who was wearing his Hokage hat and a rather drunk Ino was to be expected. After all the years had done nothing but good to his appearance, the same falling blonde locks around captivating ocean blue eyes and all wrapped in a rather beautiful sun kissed skin. As the song changed Sakura turned to face him, her cheeks flushed from the punch

"Maa Naruto, you're kinda a little bit beautiful you know..." she slurred whilst wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Aw Sakura, you're very beautiful yourself even if you are very, very drunk!" Naruto laughed

"No, no, no it's not fair you know!" she wobbled slightly

"What's not fair Sakura?" He asked frowning he placed his hands on her hips to keep her steady.

"That you're gay!" She pouted.

"Aw Sakura I'm sorry!" He chuckled!

"Mm you will be!! I can't be Auntie Sakura now and the chocolate will never really have a sandwich" she whined.

Naruto began laughing, Sakura had hit the 'needs to be taken home because she's speaking rubbish' point he was about to call over Lee when the door opened and he turned to see who had arrived, and his heart stopped. The stood between three ANBU was Sasuke. Sasuke leaves because his bonds hold him down Uchiha.

Someone had turned off the music and Sasuke took in the scene around him Naruto was stood wearing what looked like Hokage robes and holding a rather drunk looking Sakura quite close to him. As soon as he saw that blonde shock of hair the butterflies in his tummy multiplied. Naruto. That blonde god who had helped him keep some form of sanity in his mind. He was there.

"Hokage sir, he just walked in to the village"

'Sir' Sasuke though and then the scene made so much more sense the reason why Naruto was dressed like the Hokage was because he WAS the Hokage.

And then those blue eyes fell on to him and the fluttering stopped dead. His eyes, those normally bright emotion filled eyes were empty, dead. They held nothing. And Sasuke could help but embrace the feeling of guilt that flowed over him.

"Right, of course he did..." Naruto turned to face them "He would just walk in because he thinks he's better than us all. Take him to my office. Stay with him. I'll be there in a minute."

As soon as the door shut, Naruto let out a shuddery gasp.

How was he going to be able to face Sasuke
