My Feet Won't Touch the Ground

Two-

The Reaching Point

On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of shit through the blood he can look, see the life that he took - 30 Seconds to Mars 'From Yesterday'

Naruto sat in his office, reading papers and signing those he deemed important. The window was open as it was a beautiful spring day. The breeze was light enough that it did not move his papers but his hair seemed to want to move. His hair grew longer as he never had time to cut it himself, because once he got home to his nice warm bed with his wife, he was out like a light. He did not know why Tsunade complained about paperwork, it was not really a lot if he kept up with it.

There was a knock on the door and Shikamaru entered the office. He looked relatively the same as changing too much is troublesome for him. He looked bored as well, being stuck as a Council Member.

"Rokudaime-sama, ANBU found something interesting that you should look at immediately," said Shikamaru, handing him a folder. He left Naruto as the Hokage opened the report from ANBU border watchers. He quickly skimmed over it and shut the folder. He opened one of his desk drawers and put it in there. Naruto got up and stuck his head out the door to his secretary, Akemi, a nice old lady who was once a kunoichi.

"I'm going out for lunch, if anything important comes up, send them to Shikamaru and Neji," said Naruto. She opened her mouth to reply, but Naruto was gone in a blur. He was running over to the Hokage Monument which led to the mountains where people go for vacation, well those who could afford to go that is like the civilians.

Naruto could not believe that he was actually anywhere near Konoha after what happened four years ago. But then again, Sasuke was always full of surprises, be it good or bad. Naruto stood in a clearing staring straight into the eyes of Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke changed physically. His hair got very long and the spikes in his hair were more noticeable. His face showed that he was very tired and his clothes were worse for wear. In contrast, Naruto wore his orange and black jumpsuit with the Hokage robe (not the hat, he never liked that hat). Naruto's face was bright and happy as usual.

Sasuke smirked.

"Some Hokage you are, skipping out on your duties, dobe," said Sasuke; in the same mocking manner he always said that he was better than anyone and everyone.

"What are you doing around these parts, Sasuke-teme? Last time I heard from you, you were up running from Iwa ANBU," said Naruto. "You better thank me for getting them off your ass."

"Me, thank you? I don't think so," said Sasuke. "I need to lie low for a while, so this is my best bet, unless you're going to sic those damn ANBU on me." Naruto stared at Sasuke.

"What did you this time," asked Naruto, as if he were Sasuke's parent and Sasuke were the child. Sasuke glared at him.

"Kirabi," said Sasuke, blankly. Naruto chuckled at the thought of his rapping Jinchuuriki brethren. Kirabi will always hate Sasuke, no matter what Naruto says to him.

"I told you not to show your pretty-boy face in Kumo," said Naruto.

"I wasn't in Kumo for your information. I was in Suna and Kirabi was visiting Gaara," said Sasuke. "Anyway, enough of this pleasant chatter, you should get back to work." Naruto rolled his eyes.

"Don't you want to ask about Sakura-chan," asked Naruto. "She's—"

"I know, she writes me," said Sasuke, black eyes boring into Naruto's blue eyes. "I was going to ask for you to fight me though, but since this is not really a good place…"

"Some other time, just don't die on your travels," replied Naruto. "I would invite you over for dinner, but the wife is not particularly fond of you." Sasuke snorted. "Have you heard from Karin, Suigetsu or Juugo lately? They've been awfully quiet." Sasuke shrugged. "I have to head back, now. Team Sakura probably got in trouble again or Team Tenten blew something up again. Don't cause any trouble up here, please, and no fire, you insane bastard." Sasuke waved his concern off with a simple nod.

Naruto smiled and took off running back to his office. When he arrived at his office, Sakura was sitting on his desk. She gave him a piercing look

"Where did you run off to, Rokudaime-sama," Sakura asked, giving him a dirty look as if she knew he went to go see Sasuke.

"Lunch," said Naruto, lying.

"You never perfected lying. Sasuke's here," said Sakura, frowning. Naruto should have guessed that she knew after all she was high up in Konoha. "Shikamaru told me that ANBU reported seeing him. So what does he want?"

"You're still angry at him," said Naruto, sighing. He put Sakura in a chair and he sat in his chair. "He just needs somewhere to camp out for a while. I already warned him not to cause problems." Sakura gave him a look. "I'm sure he'd like it, if you went to go see him."

"Sure he would," said Sakura, sarcastically.

"Sakura-chan," said Naruto, "don't be so hard on him. He cares about you, about us, he's just emotionally retarded." Sakura huffed and exited. Naruto knew she was going to see Sasuke; she also wore her heart on her sleeve just like him. Naruto grinned. Perhaps, Sasuke could see what's right in front of him this time, if not Sasuke's loss.
