She stared into his eyes as he stared into hers. Her heart beat so fast she thought it was going to jump out of her chest. A dream come true after all these years of a silly crush on him. Sasuke started to slowly inch closer and closer to her lips. Naruto grabbed his wrist.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say choose?" Sasuke asked.

"I guess, my feelings for Sakura-chan still hasn't changed since our genin years, like her's haven't changed for you." Naruto said.

Sasuke smirked and let go of Sakura's wrist. Sakura couldn't believe it. He chose her! Her! She waited so long for this moment her whole life. She looked over at Karin who stared in disbelief at Sasuke, but then turned to face her in a death glare.

"S-Sasuke-kun.." Sakura said.

"Don't get any ideas." Sasuke said.

"W-What?" Sakura asked.

"I don't like you. I did that just to kill two birds with one stone." Sasuke said.

In that instance, Sakura's heart fell to a million pieces once again and Karin had a triumphant smile on her face. Sakura blinked back the tears and punched him in the face. Once again, everyone was in shock, instead it was directed toward Sakura.

"Y-You! Did you have fun playing with my heart all these years? You were so nice and kind to me whenever I was upset, or protected me when I was in danger. Why did you all do all that if you didn't like me? Why Sasuke?" Sakura asked.

"Because. You were my team mate. And your emotions and weakness was slowing us down." Sasuke said.

"Emotions? Weakness? Sasuke. I know you have some too!" Sakura said.

"I have none." Sasuke said.

"Your weakness is your haughtiness. You always get short tempered when someone calls you weak, or claimed they could beat you in something. That was your weakness there. You let people mess with your head. Emotions. The love you had for all your friends. The love you had for us. And the anger you had at times. You didn't have to leave to become stronger." Sakura said.

"And who exactly trained you two these years?" Sasuke asked.

"Ero-sennin." Naruto said.

"Tsunade-sama." Sakura said.

"Exactly. Two of the three sannins. Who did I get trained by? The other sannin." Sasuke said.

Naruto and Sakura didn't have anything to say after that. He was right. It was true. The three of them were trained by Konoha's 3 Great Sannin's. They couldn't deny it. They didn't get stronger by Konoha. It was the Sannins. Wasn't it?

"But, you forgot Kakashi-sensei as well! Even after you left, Kakashi-sensei was our sensei, and when we went back to Team 7, it was Kakashi-sensei." Naruto said.

"We got even stronger with the help of Kakashi sensei." Sakura said.

"Sasuke, why don't you come back willingly. We don't want to have to use our other option." Kakashi said.

"Other option?" Sasuke asked.

"By force." Kakashi said.

"Force? You think you three can beat me?" Sasuke asked.

Sasuke took out his sword and looked at the three of them.

"Then let's see shall we?" Sasuke asked.

"Sasuke. We don't have the time." Karin said.

"Fine then Sasuke, if that's the way you want it." Naruto said.

Naruto first attacked Sasuke throwing a kunai, which Sasuke quickly deflected with his sword. He slashed Naruto, but disappeared in a cloud of smoke, and then charged toward the real Naruto with Chidori while he was charging toward him with Rasengan. Sasuke quickly charged up Chidori and charged just the same. Sakura subconsciously ran toward them.

"Stop it!" Sakura shouted.

"Crap!" Sasuke said.

"I..can't stop!" Naruto said.

Kakashi grabbed Sasuke and Naruto's wrist and flung them toward opposite trees. Sakura stopped and looked back at the three of them.

"My, my. What a deja vu of events." Kakashi said.

Sasuke punched the ground in frustration. He looked at Naruto, Kakashi, then Sakura. Why couldn't he defeat them after all these years? He was the better one! It was proven in his academy scores. He looked at them with frustration and anger. What was he missing?

"You're not missing anything Sasuke-kun. Nothing except one thing." Sakura said.

Sasuke looked at Sakura in shock. She read his mind.

"And what would that be?" Sasuke asked.

"Accepting your real home. Your real friends. Your real family." Sakura said.

"My home was destroyed. My family was killed. I have no friends." Sasuke stated.

"Stop it Sasuke-kun! Konoha's your home! Your friends are right here and in Konoha! We're your family!" Sakura said.

"I won't go back to that village, not until I kill him." Sasuke said.

"Itachi?" Naruto asked.

"That's right. Uchiha Itachi. Sasuke-kun. We saw him. When was the last time you saw him Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.

"When did you see Itachi?" Sasuke asked.

"A couple months ago. Sasuke-kun, we have had a better chance in finding him. Please come back with us." Sakura pleaded.

"What are you going to do Sasuke?" Suigetsu asked.

Sasuke stood up and looked at Team Hebi, then back to Team 7. What was Sasuke going to choose? His team who he specifically picked out for this mission, or his old team. Who he abandoned, who he fought, who he hurt, who he cared for- cared for? Sasuke was shocked at his own thoughts. He never cared for Team 7. He never cared. Or did he? Deep down inside did he miss his petty fights with Naruto? He perverted sensei? The girl who he lov- loved? Did he really love Sakura all this time? What was going on? Why are these feelings coming now? Frustrated with his thoughts, Sasuke grabbed his sword and ran. Team 7 and Hebi followed after him. Where was Sasuke going? What was happening to him?
