I slowly snick out of the room I share with Naruto, who is sleeping peacefully, or so it seems. I know the truth. Hes not really sleeping. I slip past Kushina and minato's room, then past the other kids rooms and out the back door straight for the forbidden forest. A man in a white Hokage robe stands at the gate.
"ah young Sasuke. What are you doing out here so late." I give him a questioning look. His smile only gets bigger. "that's right. You don't talk much do you." I look down at my feet. 'is it really that bad that I don't talk much?' the man soon presses his hand against the look on the fence. "your plaining on going in here right?" I simply nod. "why?" I shake my head not wanting the old man to know Naruto's secret. "ah meeting a friend are we. That's nice." The locks burst under his hand.
"now be careful young Sasuke. There are many dangers in these woods." I nod before slipping through the fence opening. I walk through trees and bushes and rivers. By the time I get a few miles in im out of breath and panting. I soon slip on a branch and fall in to a river, a slow curnent takes me down stream where it leads me to a large pond. Large animals drink from the pond as I swim our to a small rock in the middle. I close my eyes and slowly deft off to sleep laying on this rock that keeps me from the animals.
