Author's rambling and thanks to the people: Wah! Three people tell me to continue!! I am so happy!!! Oh and thank you for telling me its Ebisu and not Ebi (which means shrimp, I think), I apologize for that minor mistake. Hopefully, this fic will be able to continue on!!! And that I don't mess up. Yeah, the title is a bit stupid (that is what I think) but it is understandable because I suck at stories and titles!! Also, I know that this story is cliché, but I like amnesia stories. I don't know why I like amnesia stories, though. I like cookies, too. Especially, chocolate chip ones!! I got an offer to get cookies!!! YAY!! I wonder how long this story will continue. Hmm…maybe it will end for a complete story, or will be deleted, or might (most likely) be finished by the end of my summer break. I also wonder how many chapters it will take me to finish the story. Then I won't be writing till next year, yeah sorry 'bout that. I have school which piles homework and quizzes everyday, and tests once a week. And that counts for 5 out of 6 of my classes!!! I should stop thinking about that; it is re-lax-ation time!! Happy July 4th to you people who likes it.

Disclaimer: And yet again, I do not own Naruto, K?


"I will search for him" They turn their heads to direction of the voice. The owner of the voice scratched his right cheek with his index finger.

"Ah, sorry for the intrusion, but I overheard what you guys said while I was on my way to visit Naruto." He is a chunin with a horizontal scar on the bridge of his nose, and medium length brown hair put into a ponytail.

"Iruka" Tsunade states. "I am sorry but you cannot leave the village for the time being, you have a class to attend to and the future of the kids is important to Konoha." She says in an apologetic tone.

"But-" Iruka protests.

"It's final, sorry Iruka; we need to have someone else search for him." She sighs, grumbling. "I knew I shouldn't have taken this Hokage position" The chunin shifts his head down, looking at the floor. The masked silver headed Jounin walks toward Iruka and places a friendly hand on his shoulder. "I will look for him, he is at the moment belongs to my team" Iruka nods and leaves the room. Tsunade sighs in frustration. "Have you forgotten?!" she is now shaken with anger.

"YOU! Have to look after this brat!" She points towards Sasuke. "And he cannot leave the premises of Konoha!"

"Mah, mah, I am a pretty good tracker even if I don't look it."

"I know that you stupid crow!" Kakashi now having plenty of sweat on his face.

"Well, I don't think Sasuke minds does he?" Kakashi faces Sasuke.

"Hn." I don't really mind, actually I… With the uncaring response, Kakashi laughs nervously.

"Se-see, he doesn't mind" Now Tsunade looked like he wanted to pummel Kakashi.

"BAKA!! He cannot leave, he betrayed Konoha! How the hell can he be trusted?!" She yells.

"Ah" Kakashi clears his throat and tries to look composed and unharmed. "Well he does have a tracking device, incase he decides to leave, and a voice command bracelet that sucks all his chakra when I say so, that should leave him at least powerless. He is like an untrained puppy, if he disobeys; he gets punished." Kakashi heard a low growl from the raven haired boy I am not to be compared by a stupid mutt! The jounin smiles and comments on the growl "What did I tell you like a little puppy, besides we need to get Naruto back, before…you know Hokage-sama"

Tsunade sighs again in frustration. "Fine, I can't think of anyone else with tracking dogs. As long as you can keep the Uchiha in control or else I might just want to execute him to make things easier." Actually I was thinking of strangling Kakashi also… Tsunade that day had murderous thoughts (no worries she doesn't mean it.) Tsunade turns to face Sakura, "Since it is basically team seven, would you also like to join Sakura?"

Sakura contemplates for a moment. Then sighs. "I would like to Tsunade-sama, but unfortunately I still have many students that need help in the establishment of medic ninjas. I really wish I could go. Anyway, Naruto wouldn't have wanted me to go chase him, especially when there are people here that need help." She smiles and bows. "I will take my leave now, good luck Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke-kun." Sakura turns around and walks out the doorway, Tsunade smiles the direction she left. That brat, even if I don't want to admit it he gives good influence. Tsunade faces Sasuke. "I will just add a mission to your punishment; you will only be allowed to leave the premises of Konoha for this mission." Tsunade looks at Kakashi for a brief moment, and turns her head back to Sasuke.

"Kakashi! Sasuke! Your given task is to find and bring back Naruto! Both of you will not come back till this job is done. Sasuke!" the raven-haired boy stares blankly at Tsunade.

"If you do not behave you will be locked up and be put in the prison, got it Uchiha?" Sasuke scoffs at the remark. "Che, both of you will leave once the Uchiha is healed. Kakashi, please don't leave Sasuke on his own again." Kakashi smiles. "Sorry, sorry." Tsunade leaves the room and picks up Ebisu from the ground and yells "Shizune! Take care of this stupid ahole!" "Hai! Hokage-sama!"

Kakashi makes a few hand signs and presses his hands on the floor 'poof' a cloud of smoke appears and Pakkun, the little talking bulldog is revealed. "Go to Naruto's apartment, get his scent and you know the rest."

"Yes. I'm on my way" Pakkun replies and jumps off the open window.

"Now, Sasuke-kun. When do you think you'll be ready" he says while taking a chair and putting it beside Sasuke's bedside, pulling out an orange book that read 'Icha Icha Paradise' and sits.

A pause. "Now…" the raven haired boy mutters with his head down staring at white sheets. He brought me back, now I want to bring him back.

"Mah, Sasuke you shouldn't be hasty now, we will find Naruto faster if you are in good condition" hmm…didn't know he was so enthusiastic about it, Kakashi looks at Sasuke for a while. Better not tease him, even if it would have been fun. Kakashi sighs.

Sasuke brings his head up and looks at Kakashi seriously. "Tomorrow, then." I can't waste anymore time. Or I'll lose that dobe…wait, thinking like this, I must have brain damage.

Kakashi gives in "Ok, if you can stand up by then, we'll see."

Pakkun appears in front of Kakashi going through the window. "Naruto's scent is unable to be tracked easily, but I do know that he is somewhere northwest of the village. But his scent disappeared once I entered the forest." Kakashi contemplates for a while.

"Northwest? So he is in the country of Earth. Probably in the Hidden Village of Earth, Thank-you Pakkun." How did he go that far, especially in his state?

"Yes." Pakkun then disappears in a cloud of smoke. Kakashi faces Sasuke, partially looking at him and partially looking in the book.

"Well, Sasuke. Shall we head out tomorrow to the Hidden Village of Rock?"

A nod was given as a reply. No matter what Naruto I will bring you back to me…wait I did it again, stupid headache. What the hell am I saying?


Flashback (after the fight)!!

Sasuke opened his eyes to see an orange view. He was on Naruto's back.

"Teme! Finally…awake?!" Naruto had a hard time breathing, must be from the punch he received on the chest by the chidori.

"Hn."

"Same old Sasuke-teme." Naruto smiled. "I told you no matter what I will bring you back!"

"Put me down, dobe." Sasuke demanded, not wanting any help because of his pride.

"No." Naruto stated. "Because if I did…" A pause.

"Hm?"

"You might not come back…ever." His voice filled with sadness and regret. Naruto continued to carry Sasuke. Silence filled the atmosphere. They reached the gates of Konoha. He collapsed with Sasuke falling beside him. They both lay side by side, both taking short breaths which indicated they were tired from the fight. Blood dripping down Naruto's forehead.

"Dobe…" Thank-you

"I…broke a promise and at the same time I kept one." Naruto had his eyes closed tears starting to drop from his bloody face.

"Explain."

"The promise, I didn't win fairly, I…cough. I'm a monster; I used the other power to get you back. I needed it to get you back teme. But that broke the promise I made with Kakashi, Ero-sennin and to myself." Naruto now had a stream of tears on his face. He started to laugh.

"I'm low Sasuke; I couldn't even protect my important friends with my own power. I'm pathetic. I bet your lives would be better if I didn't exist I know you left because of me, you won't admit it but you were jealous that a dead last like me was improving faster than you. But that was only because I had a monster in me. I wish…" Naruto started to lose consciousness.

"Dobe!" He's gone insane! What monster?!

"…I was gone." Naruto mumbled


Next Day

Sasuke awoke with Kakashi reading his orange book. "Yo! Are you feeling better Sasuke?" The raven haired boy nodded. "Let's go." Sasuke sat up, put the bed sheets by his side, and stood. Kakashi handed him a backpack, which included the essentials: weapons, soldier pills, etc. He still felt sore but can move without a problem. Sasuke went to the bathroom changed out of his hospital clothes into a simple black shirt with the Uchiha symbol on the back and black pants. He came out and found that Kakashi was waiting for him.

"About Naruto…his" Sasuke was cautious at what he said. He wasn't used to talking about things, simply he was embarrassed. "Naruto's condition, how bad is the amnesia?"

"Mah…good question, about Naruto he can't remember his name or anything, really but the weirdest thing is…" Kakashi had a hand on his chin, thinking of a way to say it.

"The thing with Naruto is that he-"


Thank-you for reading.

Author rambling again: Yet again, I ask how you guys think of this story, one review and I continue! (Whoa that rhymed) Time limit is still three days so it will be on July 7, which is the day this might be deleted. Please give me suggestions to make it better! Well, I suck at cliff endings (if that is what you call it). Wonder what the thing with Naruto is. I guess here is where they are slightly (or maybe a lot) out of character, but hey they are more matured!!

Sorry if it was a bit short or something. Criticize me for my writing k? NO bashing though…

I might see you in the next chapter then. Thank-you again!
