Chapter Four:

Naruto stood outside the Uchiha compound not knowing if he should go in or not since the last time he seen Sasuke it didn't go so well that and Sakura was with them driving him insane. After she learned Sasuke was back in Konoha and Naruto was going to go visit him she demanded to go along. Naruto wanted to face Sasuke only with Iruka at his side, but that wasn't going to happen now. Iruka was standing next to Naruto with one hand on his shoulder trying to offer some comfort to the boy he considered a son.

"You don't have to do this today if you don't want to, Naruto." Iruka smiled at the nervous young man knowing how hard this is for him. Sasuke caused the Naruto so much pain that it had to be hard to face the Uchiha again after all of this time.

Sakura was frowning tapping her left foot in annoyance. She wanted to see her Sasuke, but had to wait for Iruka sensei and the stupid idiot. "Come on Naruto get over it already I want to see Sasuke."

"No one is stopping you from going Sakura." Iruka glared at the young Medic nin wishing she would just go away and leave him along with Naruto. However Iruka knew Sakura was afraid of Itachi and wasn't about to go up to the house on her own. Still he wished she didn't have to go with them.

Sakura sniffed and turned her face away from her ex team mate and teacher. She didn't want to be with them either, but she was afraid of Sasuke's older brother. She didn't care if he didn't kill his family the guy was still evil in her book. "I'll wait."

"It's alright Iruka." Naruto forced a smile on his face for his adopted big brother. He knew how much Iruka worried about him and this was something he had to do if he wanted to go forward with his life. "I'll be alright so lets go up there so I can give Sasuke teme a piece of my mind for being so stupid."

"Sasuke isn't stupid!" How dare that ugly blond call her Sasuke stupid. If anyone was stupid it was Naruto. Sakura believed it was Naruto's fault that Sasuke left in the first place. If he did his mission right then Sasuke would never had left the village to began with. "You are Naruto."

"That's enough, Sakura." Who would have thought that once upon a time Sakura was really a nice girl. Now she was mean and rude. Iruka wasn't going to let her get away with putting Naruto down. "If you are going to act like this then maybe you need to go home, Sakura."

"Fine, I'll leave Naruto alone." There was no way Sakura was going home not until she saw her Sasuke kun first.

Iruka could see they were not going to get rid of Sakura until she has seen Sasuke. He felt sorry for the poor Uchiha because the pink demon from hell was never going to leave him alone now that he was back. "Alright lets go up then I've already told Kakashi sensei that we were coming today. And I don't wait to keep them waiting more then we have too."

"And who's fault is that because it wasn't mine." Sakura said glaring at Naruto because he was the one afraid to see Sasuke. "If it wasn't for Naruto we would have already been at the house with Sasuke kun."

"You just don't learn do you Sakura." Iruka wondered what happened to the sweet girl he used to know. He didn't like what she became it was like she was still just a child and not a woman. Even Ino grew up no longer panting over Sasuke, she was in a nice relationship with an older ninja. "I'm not warning you again. I will not have you talking to Naruto like that around others. Do you understand?"

What choice did she have knowing if she didn't listen to Iruka sensei then he would send her home. After all Sakura was suppose to be a guest. "I understand."

"Good then lets go." Iruka knew this wasn't going to go well. Sakura was bound to cause trouble in the mansion and Itachi wasn't one to put up with disrespect. He could only hope that fear of the older Uchiha will keep Sakura inline.

Naruto forced another brave smile on his face as he followed Iruka and Sakura into the compound knowing that very soon he will becoming face to face with not only Sasuke, but his older brother Itachi Uchiha.

Kakashi smiled when he opened the door seeing Iruka and Naruto standing outside with smiles on their faces. Though he wasn't too happy about seeing Sakura knowing Sasuke wasn't really ready to face the pink ninja and her so called love for him. Kakashi was sure Itachi would be able to handle Sakura and if not then he will. "I'm glad to see you've made it, Iruka sensei."

"Yes, and how are you Kakashi sensei?" Iruka said trying to keep the blush of his face. Even with the mask on Kakashi could still pull off a perverted face.

"Better now that you're here." Another perverted look crossed his face and this time Iruka couldn't hold off the blush. "Come on in Itachi and Sasuke are already waiting inside and we don't want to keep them waiting."

Iruka, Naruto, and Sakura followed Kakashi into the mansion and then into the living area where Itachi and Sasuke were waiting for them. Naruto was nervous, but not Sakura as she threw herself at Sasuke shocking the poor man. "Sasuke-kun! I've missed you so much."

Itachi rolled his eyes and pulled the pink haired menace away from his brother before he decided to kill her and that was the last thing they needed. He picked her up and tossed her on a chair far away from his brother. "Please try and mind your manners." Itachi glared at the girl hoping to scare her and keep her from Sasuke. "My brother isn't in the mood for your 'love'."

"Hello Sasuke." Naruto said standing far away from the youngest Uchiha not wanting to be treated like Sakura. He didn't even want Itachi to notice him. To bad for him that wasn't about to happen.

Sasuke studied Naruto and saw how much he changed and was glad to see that at least his clothes were more black then orange. His gold hair was longer and not as spiky as he remembered it, but what pleased him most was the blue eyes. They were the same still full of fire and caring just as he remembered them. "I'm sorry about everything, Naruto."

"You don't beat around the bush do you Sasuke?" Naruto for the first time that day gave a real smile. "At least you're back now so maybe we can try again and be friends." Naruto knew it wasn't going to be so easy after everything that happened between them, but it was worth a try.

"I would like that, dobe." Sasuke grinned when a frowned crossed Naruto's face and the blond ninja glared at him. He missed the blond and was glad to be back in Konoha though he will have to prove himself loyal.

Itachi was glad to see his brother smile and of course Sakura just had to miss everything up. She stood up from the chair and went up to Sasuke, but at least she didn't throw herself at him. "Sasuke would you like to get some lunch."

"I can't go anywhere without Kakashi or my brother Sakura." And at that moment he was glad about it. "And we have plans."

Itachi looked over at his younger brother not saying nothing. They didn't have any plans unless you count training later on. He knew this was Sasuke's way of getting rid of the pink haired witch. "Yes, I'm afraid Sasuke will busy for the next few weeks."

Sakura didn't know if she should believe Itachi or not. This has to be his way to keep Sasuke all to himself. "Then maybe we can see each other later on."

Sasuke shrugged, there was no way he was making any promises. He was very relieved when Sakura said she had to leave to help the Hokage. At least now he didn't have to worry about Sakura for awhile. "Maybe."

Naruto watched as Sakura left the house and was surprised to see how nice Sasuke was to her. Oh, he knew the youngest Uchiha wasn't happy to see Sakura and that he didn't like her, but it showed how much he changed. "So now what."

"How about some lunch." Itachi was hungry and was sure the others were as well. He also wanted to get to know more about Naruto the young man that was his brother's best friend. He was sure Kakashi wanted Iruka to stay longer also. "I'm sure I can make something up."

"If you show me to the kitchen, Itachi-san, I would be more than happy to make something for us." Iruka offered as he stepped closer to Naruto. Kakashi was starting to make him nervous with how close he was getting.

"Iruka-sensei you are a guest here." Itachi might not like to cook, but he did have his manners.

"Oh, I don't mind Itachi-san." Iruka smiled warmly making Kakashi lean in closer to the younger man. Iruka stepped away once more. "I love to cook."

"Iruka is a great cook, Itachi-san." Naruto loved how Iruka cooked it was the main reason he was always at his house.

"If your sure." Itachi decided to give in and it's been a long time since he had a home cooked meal. Kakashi and Sasuke didn't know much about cooking either. They had always ate out when they lived on their own. "This way."

At least everything was getting better and this way Itachi and Sasuke would be able to get on with their lives with friends at their sides.
