Chapter 8: Welcome back to konoha... Sasuke

While kakashi was unconscious, team 7 remember the day sasuke came back to konoha.

(AN: This is continued from sasuke's flashback on the previous chapter... This is also a flashback chapter.)

When team 7 and team hebi arrive at the hokage tower, konoha 11 was there.

"What are you guys doing here?" kakashi ask looking at them.

"Sai sent a message saying that the uchiha is back" tsunade said.

"Ok...then why are they here?" naruto ask looking at the rest.

"I need their opinions" tsunade replied.

"Opinion on what?" kakashi ask.

"On what were going to do" tsunade said.

Kakashi nodded.

A girl with an emerald eyes and pink hair, wearing a red sleeved-less zip up jacket that ends below her breast, a single fingerless glove on her left hand, she also has a thunderbolt tattoo on her left wrist, fishnet elbow protectors, black shorts, black opened toes sandals with heels, red nail polish on both her fingernails and toenails, her konoha forehead protector around her neck and her hair was on a half pony tail.

She was looking at the dead corpse laying in front of her "wasn't even a challenge" she thought shaking her head before closing her eyes and doing a hand seal, she opened her eyes appearing outside the door of the hokage's office, she was about to knock when she heard a familiar voice inside.

"Obaa-chan, don't you think that sakura-chan should be here...I mean she is part of team 7 and she would want to be here" she heard naruto's voice.

"Yeah, he's right she should be here" she heard shikamaru said.

She closed her eyes and instantly recognize her shishō's chakra also konoha 11 along with kakashi, sai, and yamato, her eyes suddenly opened when she felt a very very familiar chakra "what is he doing here?."

"I would but she's not here, she's on a mission and won't be coming back til next week or so" tsunade said.

"It can't be help" kakashi said.

Sakura decided to find out what's going on and didn't even bother to knock she just opened the door, all heads turn to her she ignore them and walk over to her shishō.

"Mission success" she said emotionless and handed her the mission report.

"You weren't suppose to be back til a week or so" tsunade said shock that she finish her mission early.

"He wasn't a challenge" Sakura said boredly.

Sakura knew that he was inside the room and was only a couple of feet away from her along with his new team, she closed her eyes and sighed.

"Sakura-chan" naruto said nervously, he could feel the heavy tension in the room.

She smirked and turn her head to look at the one and only uchiha sasuke "what is this a reunion" she said sarcastically.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes but didn't say a word "she changed" he thought.

"Well...you could call it that" kakashi said for once not reading his perverted book, he like the rest was anxious on what's going to happen.

"Well, this is awkward...can you just tell me what's really going" sakura said looking at tsunade.

"Alright" tsunade said "the uchiha came back in his own free will, and since he killed two of the most powerful threat in konoha, his only punishment would be a 6 months probation and he would be doing a D-rank mission for those 6 months, he would stay at the team 7 mansion."

"Hatake kakashi, uzumaki naruto, haruno sakura, you three are to take the uchiha under your wing and make sure he dosen't do anything that would endanger the village'' tsunade said looking at sakura as if expecting her to protest, but she didn't she just lean against the wall and crossed her arms while looking at the floor her bangs covering her face.

"Does anyone object?" tsunade asked looking the people inside her office, nobody said a word "as for you three" she said looking at sasuke's companion "who are you again?."

A guy with a straight white hair and purple eyes carrying what look like zabuza's sword step forward and said "Hōzuki Suigetsu."

Next was a guy with a spiky orange hair and orange eyes "Jūgo."

The last was a red hair girl with an unusual haircut and red eyes "Karin."

"An uzumaki" sakura muttered, the rest stop and looked at her, she could feel their stares at her, she look up and stared at them without any emotion what so ever.

"Nani?" naruto asked looking at her confuse.

"Nothing" she replied looking down again.

"Ok moving on, what are your purpose here?" tsunade ask.

"We want to be a ninja of konoha" suigetsu said grinning.

"Ok since your an outsider, we would put you three under ANBU surveillance for 2 years, one wrong move and your out of the village, you three are to find yourselves an apartment" tsunade said with a serious expression on her face.

"Hai" the three said.

"Can't I just stay with sasuke-kun" Karin said grabbing sasuke's arm, who looked visibly annoyed and pulled his arm away.

"You can't since it's team 7 mansion, you have to be a part of team 7 in order to stay there" naruto said, he could tell that sasuke doesn't like her.

"Is sasuke even a part of team 7" sakura said looking up, everyone (except hebi) was shocked that her of all people would say that.

"Of course he is" naruto said trying to assure himself, sakura's words hit him like a thousand kunai, he himself wasn't sure if sasuke is still a part of team 7 since he formed a new team while he was away.

"Are you sure" sakura said knowing that her words hit naruto, but didnt give a damn because she knew she was right.

Naruto looked down and shook his head, hinata frowned and rub her boyfriend's back.

"Naruto-kun" naruto and hinata started dating 3 days after pain attacked.

"Well uchiha choose which team you want to stay, your new team or your old team?" tsunade asked looking at the him.

Sasuke shrugged "7" he said looking at tsunade with a small smirk on his face.

"ALRIGHT!" naruto yelled on top of his lungs.

"Eh kinda had the feeling that he would choose them" suigetsu said shrugging.

Karin looked like she was about to breakdown crying, but she held herself she didn't want to look weak in front of sasuke.

"Alright then it's settled, the uchiha will stay at team 7 mansion and you three would stay here for a moment to look at some of the available apartments" tsunade said.

"Hai."

"Alright, you people can go now" tsunade said "except for team 7 you guys still need to tell me what happened on your mission."

"Hai...sakura-chan why don't you show teme the team 7 mansion, we'll just see you both later" naruto said "I just hope you don't kill him."

Sakura sigh before walking to the door and opening it "are you coming or what I don't have all day" she said walking out.

Sasuke followed her outside without a word.

Once they were out, naruto punch the wall beside him creating a small dent on the wall, the rest was startled by his sudden action.

"Damn it, I just wanted my team back" he said not even caring that his hand was bleeding.

"Naruto" kakashi said trying to calm his former student.

"I thought that If teme comes back she would be back to her old self, you know the girl who's always happy and peppy, but I was wrong so wrong" naruto said a single tear falling from his eyes then another and another.

"Naruto...I know you want her to come back to her old self, but we have to give her some time, I mean come on you can't just expect her to be back the moment she saw sasuke, she was hurt not to mention the fact that we still don't know what happened to her 2 and a half years ago" kakashi said looking at tsunade since she was the only one who knew what happen.

"I promise not to tell" she said holding her hands up in defense.

"Sigh...fine I just hope they can get along" naruto said his bruise was already healing because of the nine-tails chakra.

Sasuke and sakura was walking, no one said a single word, every villagers was shock that he's back, sasuke's fangirls were still his fangirls even though he left, both ninja's ignore them, sasuke kept looking at sakura every now and then, until sakura finally had enough.

"Take a picture it'll last longer" sakura snapped and stopped walking.

"You changed" sasuke said bluntly.

Sakura chuckled darkly "Nani? do you expect me to be the same girl who was obsess with you, the girl who would always love you and care for you, the person who would do everything and anything for you...things happen sasuke a lot of things happened."

"What things?" sasuke ask looking at sakura.

"None of your business, and since when did you care?" Sakura said raising an eye brow.

Sasuke was silent after she said that.

"Look stay out of my business and I'll stay out of yours, forget about what I said 3 years ago it doesn't mean anything" sakura said lying at the last part before she started walking.

Sasuke stared at her back and felt a pang inside "what am I felling, I felt like someone stab me in the heart" Sasuke shook his head "probably nothing" he thought before catching up to sakura.
