Naruto jolted awake to a sharp pain in his right shoulder. He had just had the chidori through him again.
"You managed to aviod me striking your heart but now you can't move your right arm and it must be difficult to breathe." He opened his eyes to see Sasuke staring at him. Sasuke grabbed his neck and began to squeeze but then he let go, and pulled his hand out, letting Naruto fall to the water.

Sasuke turned and began to walk away, when Naruto started to automatically heal with the kyuubis power.
"SASUKE!" said person turned around, and his eyes widened to see naruto no longer had a scratch on him and was standing like nothing had ever happened.
'Alright..' thought Naruto 'I can win, I don't want to see Sakura-chan cry again, because of me'

"You won't go to Orchimaru, even if I have to break every bone in your arms and legs, I will stop you!" screamed Naruto, the Kyuubis cloak surrounding him once more.
Sasuke moved into a fighting stance, 'This..this is Naruto? What the hell is this red chakra?'
He gulped from the strong pressure emitting from Naruto.
"What the hell...are you?"
"A friend" Sasuke looked shocked as Naruto continued to speak. "I won't let you go to Orochimaru. I will stop you."
Naruto wanted to jump at Sasuke, break all his bones, but thats what happened last time, he acted on impulse and they fought.
"Why...why do you say these promises that you know you can't keep...Naruto.."
Naruto flinched, "you're right Sasuke, I make promises that I can't always keep but even if I cant, I'll keep trying that is my ninja way!"

Sasuke glared at the blond, "my ninja way, MY ninja way, my NINJA way" he mimicked, trying to sound like Naruto, "Is that all you can say? Stuff your ninja way, there's only one..." Sasuke grinned "and that is "live to kill and kill to live that is the ninja way" that's the real one Naruto."
Naruto didn't reply but instead jumped at Sasuke.
'Fast! Too fast!' Thought Sasuke as he tried to keep up with the blond. Naruto continued to beat Sasuke in all direction, leaving Sasuke unable to react to his speed.
Naruto pinned Sasuke against the wall.
"I don't want to fight you Sasuke, just come home, revenge isn't worth losing yourself into the darkness. Believe me."
Sasuke began to laugh, "Shut the hell up...what do you know about me? Someone like you without family or siblings...you had nothing in the first place...what the hell do you understand about me?! Huh?!"
"We suffer because of our bonds, you don't know how it feels to lose them!" He kicked Naruto away from him and gained his balance, ready to fight again as he gasped for breath.
"I don't understand about real families or brothers, but when I'm with Iruka-Sensei I wonder if thats like having a father and when I'm with you..I wonder if it's like being with a brother..."
"Why, why do you go this far for me...?"
"Because for me, it's one of the first bonds I've ever had..."
Sasuke smiled, and reached into his pocket taking out asnd putting on his forehead protector.
"Come Naruto, I'll break that bond."
"Break them? Then why..your headband?"
"I'll acknowledge that you are strong, you are someone that knows the same pain of loneliness that I do, and that pain makes someone stronger and so by severing these bonds, I'll become even stronger."
"I refuse, I won't come, for I don't want this bond to break, just come home...Sasuke.."
"Forget it Naruto! You don't get it, you won't ever get it! I need to do this, I need to get my revenge, you have the dreams of a hokage and nothing will stop you, well the same goes for me, I have the dreams of the past, I will kill my brother and no one will stop me!"
"What about dreams, of us, team seven. They were happy, and you can still achieve your goal. We both felt loneliness, but then we felt happiness...Sasuke..I understand you more than you think..."

Their talking stopped, and instead replaced with actions. They fought, punches and kicks replacing their words for each other. Only hatred passed between them.

Sasuke and Naruto charged at each other chidori and rasengan in hand,
"SASUKKKEEE!"
"NARRRUUUTOOOOO!"
Upon impact they caused a great explosion, Naruto flew through the smoke and fell in the water slowly sinking down, Sasuke flew the opposite direction and smacked his back against a wall, sliding down on to the floor. He groaned in pain.

Naruto sank deeper, he began to swim upwards, but he felt like he wasn't moving, like the surface was getting higher and higher. He needed air. Naruto thrusted side to side panicking, he wasn't strong enough to swim himself up.
His vision became blurry as his body began to relax, he mouth opening, allowing water to escape into his body and lungs.
'Well...this is different,' Naruto thought, 'I'm going to drown...'
He slowly closed his eyes, seeing a shadowy figure.

The figure grabbed him, pulling him to his chest holding him tight.
It then carried on swimming to the surface, once he reached the surface he carefully placed Naruto on the ground, pumping his chest,
"c'mon Naruto...come ON!" the figure said still pumping his hands on Naruto's chest.
Said person coughed, coughing some water out. He opened his eyes to see a relieved, soaking wet Kakashi.
Kakashi sighed and fell backwards.
"Naruto are you ok?" he asked concern in his voice.
"..."Naruto looked down at the water, 'I failed...again' he thought sadly
"Naruto?" asked Kakashi as he stood up, squeezing some water out of his clothes,
Naruto equally stood up but his legs didn't agree on the sudden weight and it let Naruto collapse but before he could hit the ground or even get close to it, Kakashi caught him.
"Careful Naruto, don't strain yourself right now" he flipped naruto onto his back,
"Rest, we'll be back in Konoha by the time you wake up"
Naruto closed his eyes, unable to open them again, he was exhausted and he soon he fell asleep, seeing Sasuke in the blackness in his eyes.

Naruto re-awoke to see he was on his own. He turned to the side to see flowers and cards on the bedside table.
He stretched out his arm grabbing a white and blue card which was stuck on a daffodil.

Naruto, you baka...
Kakashi told us what happened. A promise is one thing, but your safety comes first, I'm so glad your fine though.
I'm so sorry, Naruto, I won't hold you back any longer. I'll be beside you and we'll bring Sasuke back together. New Sakura here we come! Hell yeah!
~Sakura

Naruto chuckled, he gathered them all up in his hands and began to read them.

Naruto-Kun,
Here is some medicine, please take them and get better. Rest well.
~Hinata

Naruto couldn't help but grin at Hinatas writing. It seems she couldn't hold the pen still as her writing looked quite scribblely. Her writing was just like her personality.

Naruto, If you're awake and read this, well I'm glad your actually awake and able to read this. You should look after yourself more, I'll be coming back later to check on you again. I'll bring some ramen for us to eat, I bet you want some.
~Iruka

Naruto sighed, Iruka knew him well indeed, he really was craving for some ramen.

Naruto,
Rest and take it easy. We'll talk about Sasuke later. It'll be ok, Naruto.
~Kakashi

Naruto smiled at all the cards, he was so greatful to have everyone caring for him. He climbed out of bed and made his way to the window, the curtains had been opened already. He sat on the window sill and looked out at Konoha. So bright and peaceful.

How ever he fought with Sasuke, it changed the outcome of him in hospital. At least, it had twice now. But none of this wasn't what he wanted, Sasuke had to be here...with him.
Naruto felt a stab in his heart, and the more he thought about Sasuke, the more it hurt. He was getting tired, of repeating it over and over. Was Sasuke, so determined that nothing could change him, not matter what he did to change their destiny.
