A/N: I changed the title of this story. I think the new title fits the story more. :)
Sasuke stopped at a clear, big, beautiful lake. He could sense the six chakras of his old teammates and current teammates. Who was he going to choose? Team 7 had a better chance of meeting Uchiha Itachi, but he went through all the trouble of gathering his team mates to find Itachi. What was he going to choose? The six of them finally caught up to Sasuke and stopped. He looked at the clear lake and closed his eyes. He knew he had to make a decision now, but this couldn't be made in just a matter of minutes.
"So you want me back do you?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah we do Sasuke! Ever since you left we've been wanting to bring you back." Naruto said.
"Then fight us." Sasuke said.
"What?" Naruto asked.
"Fight us. If you win I'll go back willingly, and accept any punishment from Konoha. But know one thing, if they say it's a death sentence, I will do anything to leave and go in search for him again." Sasuke said.
"Deal." Naruto said.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, knowing they had some unfinished business in their fights. Karin wanted to hurt Sakura, but she was not the fighting type and knew Sakura wanted to beat her too. So Suigestsu and Jugo was left with Kakashi. Karin couldn't stand the thought of Sasuke going back to Konoha and possibly getting together with Sakura, so she threw the first punch toward Sakura. Sakura immediately dodged and concentrated the chakra into her fist and punched her in the stomach, already knocking her out. Sasuke looked back to see Karin.
"Pathetic. Down already?" Sasuke said.
Naruto made clones and charged toward Sasuke. Sasuke looked back at Naruto and charged toward him with his sword. He slashed through each clone, and Naruto was behind him with rasengan. Sasuke quickly made chidori and charged toward Naruto. Chidori and Rasengan collided making them fly back hard, destryong 3 trees each. They slowly got up and started charging toward each other again.
"I won't lose to you Naruto!" Sasuke yelled.
"Me neither Sasuke!" Naruto said.
They clashed again and again hoping to resolve the fight they had waited so long for. Kakashi was standing still watching Suigestu and Jugo. The three had not moved an inch since the fights started.
"Man. Sasuke is popular." Suigestu said.
"He is the last, well one of the last Uchiha's after all." Kakashi said.
"Yeah yeah. Guess we should get this over with, eh Jugo?" Suigestu said.
Jugo said nothing as always. Suigestu pulled out his sword and got ready to attack. Jugo just stood still and watched what was going to happen between the two.
"Is that?.." Kakashi asked.
"It's the Kubikiri Bōchō. Formely Momochi Zabuza senpai's sword." Suigestu said.
"Where did you get that?" Kakashi asked.
"Sasuke took me to his grave and I took it." Suigestu said.
"You really shouldn't do that. Disrespecting his grave and taking his possession." Kakashi said.
"His? The 7 swords of the mist will be mine. They thought I wasn't able to one of them? They better think again." Suigestu said.
Suigestsu charged toward Kakashi with the sword. Kakashi jumped and quickly made a clone. His appeared behind him and threw a kunai. Suigestu quickly turned around and slashed him. The clone poofed and Kakashi slahsed him in the back. Meanwhile, Sakura looked at Karin and wondered if anything was going on between her and Sasuke. She doubted it but, he did recruit her on his own. Why couldn't it have been her? She's a medic ninja, a strong kunoichi, and brilliant. What was she missing? What did Karin have that she didn't? Karin slowly woke up.
"What is Sasuke-kun's plan?" Sakura asked.
"What?" Karin asked.
"His plan. I know it's to kill Uchiha Itachi. But how?" Sakura asked.
"Why should I tell you that?" Karin asked.
"You're right." Sakura said.
Sakura looked at the ground and then up at the sky. Then she looked at Karin. So many things had happened in just a matter of two years. How much they've changed, yet so many things have also stayed the same. Sakura quickly left to join Kakashi and Naruto, leaving Karin alone.
"What does that pink haired girl have that I don't? I know Sasuke cares for her. Despite what he says, I can sense it." Karin said.
Sakura ran over to help Kakashi first.
"What two vs 1? I find that unfair. Hey Jugo! Stop watching and start helping now." Suigestu said.
Jugo got up and walked over to Suigestu. He started to change in personality wise. His face grew twisted with violence and intent to kill.
"This is not good." Kakashi said.
"What should we do Kakashi sensei?" Sakura asked.
"We can't leave without bringing Sasuke back. I guess we'll have to fight him." Kakashi said.
"Good luck with that. Jugo usually fights until he's done. Which is killing his opponent." Suigestu said.
"Shit. This is going to be difficult." Kakashi thought.
Naruto and Sasuke were still clashing, kunai to sword, sword to clone. They were both started to get tired.
"Are you going to admit that I am your equal now Sasuke!" Naruto said.
"You'll never be my equal!" Sasuke shouted.
Sasuke leapt to the rock wall and charged chidori. At the same time Naruto did the same, making a clone and forming his rasengan. They ran down the wall and to each other. Chidori and Rasengan collided making a huge blow and they fell back toward the rocks.
"Come back Sasuke! You know, if we keep going. We'll both die." Naruto said.
"I don't intend to die. Not before I kill him." Sasuke said.
"Sasuke! Revenge isn't everything! And if you still do want revenge, come back to Konoha. I'll help you. We'll all help you." Naruto said.
"I don't need anyone's help!" Sasuke shouted.
"Then why did you gather your teammates?" Naruto asked.
"Why did I gather my team mates? If I could do this myself why did I need them?" Sasuke thought.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and Sakura faced Jugo. Jugo's intent to kill and murderous looks did give Sakura the chills. Kakashi quickly used Sharingan and avoided his attacks. While he blocked Jugo's attacks, Sakura quickly punched him with her chakra infused fist and knocked him out.
"No way! You beat Jugo?" Suigestu said.
"Now it's your turn." Sakura said.
Suigestu charged toward Sakura, but then a water dragon collided into Suigestu making him fly back. Kakashi appeared behind him and kicked him to the ground. Suigestu let go of the sword due to the impact of hitting the ground. Kakashi picked up the sword and Sakura quickly knocked him out as well with a chakra infused tap.
"We should go help Naruto." Kakashi said.
Sakura nodded in agreement and they headed north for 5 miles. They found Sasuke and Naruto clashing. Sakura and Kakashi landed on the battlefield. Sasuke looked back at them which gave Naruto the perfect chance to hit Sasuke. Sasuke flew back toward the wall.
"We defeated them Sasuke-kun." Sakura said.
"Now won't you keep your promise as a shinobi and go back with us. Or do we have to defeat you too?" Kakashi asked.
"They were defeated? Those weaklings!" Sasuke thought.
"Sasuke-kun. Please come back." Sakura pleaded.
Sasuke had no choice. He had to surrender and go back. He was almost out of chakra and the three of them could probaby beat them together in his current state.
"A deal is a deal." Sasuke said.
"Then you'll come back?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah.." Sasuke said.
Sakura ran toward them in happiness. She looked at Sasuke with tears in her eyes and hugged him. For the first time in two years, she was able to hug him once again. Without thinking Sasuke hugged her back, and Sakura blushed. Naruto grew wide-eyed.
"Hey teme! What do you think you're doing hugging Sakura-chan like that!" Naruto said.
"You wanna fight dobe?" Sasuke asked.
"Bring it! I'll beat you!" Naruto said.
"Hey! No more fighting!" Sakura yelled.
Kakashi looked at his pupils. He reminsiced about Team 7 before Sasuke left. He smiled at the three of them.
"Maybe now things we'll be as it used to be." Kakashi said.
