Chapter 2 Sasuke had made it half way to Konoha, his puppet never saying a word, just following orders whenever Sasuke gave them.
Now as they both were setting up camp in a cave the puppet had found, Sasuke watched it carefully, The blonde hair was exactly how he remembered it on the original, though it was strange to see even a duplicate of his friend with such empty lifeless eyes. That was the only evidence at first glance that told him this wasn't his friend, just a mindless copy.
Sasuke was still wary of it though, it was an exact replica of Naruto Uzumaki, the only differences being this Puppet's quiet nature and dull eyes.
He shrugged it off as he decided to take watch instead of sleeping. It was weird that the puppet layed down as if to sleep, it closed it's eyes and everything. Sasuke guessed it was faking sleep so if any enemies came they would be caught by surprise.

A little over 4 hours passed when Sasuke heard grumbling coming from Na-The puppet, he looked out the corner of his eyes to see it was gripping it sleeping bag tightly, but what shocked Sasuke was when it shot up right and yelled out, not really saying anything, just a strangled and painful yell.
Sasuke's eyes -which he kept emotionless for so long- faultered into shock as something flashed in the Naruto-puppets eyes.
Sasuke made no move toward it, as it blinked a few times, a confused look crossed its features before becoming emotionless.
"....Naruto?" Sasuke hesitantly asked.
The puppet simply blinked slowly, tilting its head to the side slightly.
Sasuke shook his head of his former teammate.
"No, you're not him..." he told himself, glaring a little at the imposter.
'But then...why did he yell out...is it possible it was having a nightmare...?' Sasuke thought.
Sasuke dismissed the thought and decided he would figure it out tomorrow, as much as he hated it, he needed sleep.
"Hey...." he paused, not sure whether he should call it 'Naruto' or 'Puppet' hell, he was even close to going back into his habit of calling Naruto, or at least his look-alike, 'Dobe'
"What the hell do i call you?" he asked himself, not really caring but he didn't want to address the puppet as 'Hey' all the time.
The puppet didn't speak, it opened its mouth as if it were going to, but then closed it soon after, apparently not having the ability.
Sasuke sighed.
"Fine, i'll just call you Dobe then" Sasuke said, testing if it had any of Naruto's personality traits The puppet didn't react and Sasuke was surprised to find himself disappointed.
'What the hell is wrong with me, At least the dobe stopped his stupid search of me...' Sasuke thought, suddenly something hit him 'Why has the dobe stopped? Did he finally give up'
His thoughts were broken when a wave of sleepyness suddenly dragged his eyelids down.
"Hey Dobe, Take over watch, I'm going to sleep" he said, too tired to care about anything.
The puppet, as expected, did as Sasuke told him and took a seat at the mouth of the cave, where Sasuke had previously been sitting.

Back in Konoha.
Tsunade held a remembrance day for all the people who died exactly one year ago that day, she had to keep up her calm and collected mask the whole time, even though when she approached the Monument with the KIA names scratched in later that day, she almost lost it completely.
She saw people everywhere were either mourning or being respectfull and just standing there, head bowed. She spotted a few people she knew, The original Rookie nine that were now down to seven along with Gai's team, and the former rookie's sensei's.
Sakura was carrying some flowers as she tried to hide her tears, Sai was looking sad, amazingly.
Tsunade watched them as the group went to a specific grave, where Sakura completely broke down...Who could blame her, one teammate had deserted her, then another died.
Ino was the one to comfort her.
Soon Iruka showed up too, he was trying to hold back tears too.
Once Sakura had calmed down she drew a deep breath and place the flowers on the grave.
"You...Idiot...How could you d-..." she started, about to start crying again.
In a whirlwind of Sand, Gaara had shown up with his two siblings.
They all paid their respects in their own way.
Tsunade was saddened by this, so many people.
'Naruto...How could you leave us all behind, you idiot...' she thought as she walked away, going to visit other graves to pay her respects there too.
Tsunade stopped when she heard people mumbling to each other.
"Did you see the Demon child has a grave too?" "Yeah, he doesn't deserve respect, we should go knock it down"
"Haha"
"Hey, did you hear that he was actually a traitor! Yeah, he attacked the Hokage-sama!"
Tsunade's anger boiled over and she stepped in.
"You!" she snarled, pointing a finger to a now scared looking man "How DARE you say that about someone who risked his life protecting this village, those stupid rumours are false! Naruto died saving my life for god-sake and all you can do is blame him! you disgust me!"
Then she stormed out, leaving the small group wide-eyed.

Well, hope that was interesting, Keep reading!
