Sorry for the short first chapter. I will try and get at least 2k words per chap. from now on. Yes I know I told people that asked for more I would do about 5k words, but seeing how I am swamped with work right now 2k is my new minimum.

Naruto's Traveling Band

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any characters depicted in this fic unless later stated, but if I did... I would be rich!!!
Sasuke walked over slowly to the now awake Naruto with his head down. "N-naruto..."

The blond sprung up into a sitting position looking where the voice came from. "Sasuke... is...is that really you?" Pain ran through emotions on Naruto's face as he remembered the fight.

The Uchiha looked up at Naruto just in time to catch the pain cross his face. "I know you probably don't want to talk to me right now bu..."

"Shut up! Just shut up!"

Kiba finally spoke up, "Hey Naruto, you want me to escort the Uchiha out of here..."

Naruto shook his head in the negative and opened his mouth only to have an inaudible whisper come out. Sasuke looked over his friend and moved in closer, "Say it again Naruto I couldn't here you..."

Naruto's head came up with his trademark foxy grin plastered from ear to ear while raising his left hand and formed a thumbs up almost hitting Sasuke in the eye, causing said Uchiha to jump back and Kiba to bust out laughing. Finally after what seemed like an eternity to Sasuke, Naruto finally spoke, "I passed my first retrieval mission!!! One step closer to Hokage now!!!!" Causing Sasuke and Kiba to face vault into the hospital floor.

Once Kiba and Sasuke composed themselves they looked at the blond ninja as if he had three heads, then both speaking at the same time. "WHAT!?!?!" Followed by Naruto's next question which caused Kiba to stare at Sasuke and Sasuke himself just looked down towards the floor.

"Why can't I see or move my right arm?"

Jiraiya's Pad 2 Blocks Away From Hospital

Tsunade woke with a slight start feeling something warm all around her. She carefully moved the covers off of her head looking around the room. 'Where am I? Wait... Oh no...' "JIRAIYA!!"

Jiraiya poked his head into the room and smiled, "Oh... Hey sleeping beauty wha..." He ducked around the corner of the door as a flying alarm clock, then lamp, then desk came out of the room faster then a kunai ever could, or so he thought as a kunai thumped against the wall with the tip sticking out almost impacting his nether regions. "Tsunade! You trying to kill me!!"

"Oh you just wait!" Tsunade jumped out of the room tackling Jiraiya to the floor with a fist raised above his head. "How many times have I told you I don't want to be used in your little perverted research, as you call it."

Jiraiya waved his hands in front of his face feeling an imminent death, "Woah, woah... Wait a minute, I only brought you here because I didn't think you wanted me to search you to get the key, and I felt bad because of how bad you felt over Naruto." At the mention of the blond ninjas name Tsunades features went limp, and she slowly let her head down onto Jiraiyas chest and sobbed softly thinking of how she should of sent someone else or even gone herself. Jiraiya slowly ran a hand through her hair, "Come on Tsunade, we shall go see the number one hyperactive ninja himself, he might even be up by now." Tsunade looked up and smiled and kissed Jiraiya quickly on the lips and then stood up and hurried out the door while Jiraiya stoop up slowly and shook his head as he started walking out the door. "Kami, I am getting to old for this."

Hospital

Sasuke racked his brain for how he could answer the question, 'What do I say? How can I tell him that I am the reason he may never be a shinobi again... No, I cannot let that happen to him. I will not let that happen to him, he deserves to be a ninja much more than me... Hell maybe he could beat Itachi for me. At his current level he could probably take out a few jonin. Anyways I need to speak to Tsunade!' "Just a moment Naruto let me go get Tsunade-sama, she can explain much better than me or Kiba." And with that said Sasuke ran out of the room hitting something rather hard falling to the ground with a loud groan... "Ugh... what the fuc..."

"Sasuke Uchiha!"

Sasuke looked up and scratched his head nervously, "Oh Tsunade-sama I am sor-" As he was finishing his statement Tsunade picked him up and planted him into the wall. "And just what do you think you are doing was putting him in this state not enough for you, do you want to take his leg from him, or maybe you want to kill him. Maybe I should have you charged with treason, maybe I should let Ibiki get a hold of you, I know what he will d-"

"Tsunade that is enough!" Jiraiya pushed the woman back away from the young gennin and stuck his hand on Tsunades mouth stopping her from speaking and pointed to the door where Naruto stood with his head down tears falling from his eyes a very shocked Kiba behind him.

"Sasuke... I cannot blame him for what he did, he has his reasons just like we had our reason to go get him. How can you persecute him for wanting to try to avenge the wrongs done to him and his clan. I will admit that he took it way out of hand, the entire village held him on a silver platter and now look at him, but he was on the way to get you granny-Tsunade you should feel ashamed of yourself. All of you!" A long moment of silence echoed through out the room, the ninja, nurses, and doctors all alike just stared at the blond kid. Naruto finally looked out at where most of the voices were heard, "Sasuke, can you please take me away from here. I believe we need to speak, and I do mean right now." Naruto's voice left no room for discussion even from Tsunade and Jiraiya, they looked at Naruto and could finally picture the blond taking up after his father...hopefully...

30 Min. Later, Hospital Roof

Naruto and Sasuke sat on the roof of the hospital looking down onto Konoha, an uncomfortable silence had fallen in between them as soon as they sat down. Finally after a few minutes Naruto finally spoke, "Sasuke?"

"Yea, Naruto?"

"Do you hate me?"

Sasuke looked down at his hand and then looked at Naruto, "Naruto, I don't know what I hate anymore... I mean look at you, you know about 3 real jutsus, you can kick my ass with some what of an ease, and you have the Kyuubi inside of you if things get real dangerous. Now look at me, I have one of the strongest bloodlines in all of the known ninja world and I am one of the stupidest ninja in all the known world. I wanted power to destroy what destroyed my family, but honestly I never thought it through, I know what I need to do now... I must first restore my clan to where if I went against Itachi and failed I know that there would still be others like me so I would live on in them."

Naruto grinned and placed his hand against Sasuke's shoulder, "You forgot about one thing my dear friend!" Sasuke immediately stopped at hearing Naruto calling him a friend, then he smiled and looked at the blond.

"What is it teme?"

Naruto's smile grew even bigger if that is even possible, must be some jutsu thought Sasuke. "Well dobe, you forgot that I will be there to help kick that bastards ass! BELIEVE IT!" With that said Naruto and Sasuke both broke out into uncontrollable laughter Sasuke even more so than Naruto. Finally both boys recovered and sat back up looking back out at Konoha. "You know Sasuke, this village is really beautiful, I cant wait to become Hokage and show everyone they were wrong!"

"You can see!"

Naruto chuckled and smiled, "No, but I know what it looks like from the dark alleys to the beautiful monuments! When I was younger I didn't really have a home, sure I had my apartment but I tried to stay away from there as much as possible so I started walking around. Of course I had to avoid people, but in the long run I learned the layout of the entire village. In fact I could probably walk around better with my eyes closed than open!"

The black haired boy smiled at this, 'His spirit is definitely is something to be envied.' "Hey Naruto, how about some ramen?" He then looked up to where Naruto was and noticed he wasn't there and stood up looking around and spotted the orange clad boy running through the streets at an incredible rate. 'How in the hell...'

15 Min Later, Ichiraku Ramen (A/N Hope I spelled the ramen shop right someone please let me know)

Naruto sat at the counter waiting for Sasuke to join him and Ayame to come take his order, Sasuke slowly came into the ramen shop glaring at Naruto, "You know teme, that was not fun at all, you can't see and somehow you still beat me. When do I get to win?"

Naruto smiled and chuckled a bit, "When you finally go out with Sakura!"

"Oh no. Father start cooking a lot more! Its our number one customer!" Ayame said while coming around from the corner.

Naruto smiled again, "Hey Ayame nee-chan I am absolutely starving so your gonna need a lot more than the usual!" Ayame smiled and nodded and after taking Sasuke's order of one bowl of miso ramen she disappeared behind the corner again. "You know dobe, I don't even think I have ever felt so bad in my life. I mean I took away your sight and yet you act like nothing happened!"

Naruto sighed and held out his hand, "Give me your hand there is someone that wants to speak with you." Doing as he was told Sasuke grabbed his hand and suddenly was engulfed in an orange chakra. Moments later he found himself standing next to Naruto in front of a large cage with a giant seal on one of the bars. Sasuke began to look around then felt himself being pulled to the floor as he was forced down onto his hands and knees. He wondered what the hell was going on when all of a sudden a demonic roar was hear from behind the bars.

"Sasuke Uchiha! You will bow when you are in front of the giver of your Kekkei Genkai, just because I am in this vessel does not mean I cannot destroy you. My vessel is the only reason why I did not kill you when you dared to defy him and all your friends by going to that snake humping bastard Orochimaru! Now as for Naruto's sight I will be giving him a gift that you must teach him to control. I shall endow upon him the same power I did your clan!" Sasuke nearly choked on hearing those words along with Naruto. He nodded vigorously motioning that he understood clearly. "Good! From now on Naruto shall be your newest clan member of sorts. Don't defy me again Uchiha. Now Naruto! As for your arm Tsunade should be able to fix it with ease it would take me a few weeks where it would take her a few hours, now go to your new home and sleep. While you slumber I shall bestow upon you the same power I did the Uchihas so long ago! Now leave me!"

Naruto and Sasuke jumped back to reality with a start and both grinned asking Ayame when she came back for the food to go. They paid and ran to the Hokage's office only to retell Tsunade and Jiraiya what the fox had told them. After they had left the Hokage building Sasuke led Naruto back to the Uchiha district and showed him to his house and led him to an empty room telling him where he would be sleeping and that they would go after his clothing in the morning. They ate hurriedly and once again found themselves talking until each of them fell asleep in Naruto's new room.

While they slept the fox owned up to his word and slowly began to change Naruto's eyes. When Naruto awoke he slowly opened his eyes then grinned and shook Sasuke awake. "Hey dobe, guess what!!"

Still mostly asleep Sasuke mumbled "wha..."

"I CAN SEE!"
