Ok, I know this is like way late, and I don't have a good excuse, (besides death of computer TT) but anyway, here's the next chapter and I hope that I will be able to post again soon

Also, I went back through the past chapters and edited, I added a few things too, but not so much that you would have to go back and read them again to follow the story (but I haven't updated in so long you might have to do that anyway sweatdrop)

Thankx for waiting

Sasuke thought back to the last time he had seen Naruto go berserk

'Oh I am so screwed'

After hearing what happened to Machi, the rest of the kids refused to listen to him. Instead they all gathered in the main room and tended to Machi, but none of them knew any healing so they couldn't do much

Sasuke paced back and forth in front of the door, waiting for Naruto to come back. He thought maybe if he was the first to reach Naruto he could explain himself. He stopped

'….yeah right….' He muttered hopelessly

Kakashi still wasn't back; Sasuke assumed it was because he didn't really believe that the kids could find a jonin

Sasuke resumed his restless pacing while the kids watching him in silence. Sasuke was too absorbed in his thoughts to hear the footsteps approaching, but the kids heard it

"I'MMMM BAAAACK!!!" Naruto exclaimed, throwing open the door, he stepped inside and set a box down without noticing all the kids and a now frozen Sasuke. When he turned back to them though, he could sense that something was wrong. He turned immediately to Sasuke

"What happened?!?" Before Sasuke could even open his mouth Roku jumped up

"Machi is hurt!!!" he cried, before Sasuke could even blink Naruto was beside the couch where Machi was resting

Naruto's jaw dropped when he saw her. She was covered in scratches and dirt. Her hands were shaking badly, Naruto recognized why. When he was learning Rasengan he had overused his chakra channels, it had been extremely painful, but he healed fast, Machi didn't. Finishing his scan, he noted that around one of her ankles there was dark bruise

"I told you guys not to over-train!!! What do you think you were doing!!!" Naruto yelled, the kids blinked, shocked at the rage directed at them, until they realized that Naruto still didn't know how Machi had been injured

"It's HIS fault!!" Kyo shouted back, pointing accusingly at Sasuke, who gulped

Naruto's eyes opened wide with surprise and he turn to stare at Sasuke. When he didn't deny these claims Naruto's face darkened and he turned away

"I apologize kids, forgive me for accusing you" he said quietly, some of the older kids smirked, bad things happened when Naruto was this polite, the kids quickly accepted Naruto's apology and went back to glaring at Sasuke

"Sasuke"

Sasuke jumped and looked at Naruto, who looked forcibly calm

"Yes?" his voice was higher than he intended it to be

"What happened?" Naruto asked in the same monotone, his eyes cold

"I…. I was sparring with her" he mumbled quietly

This confession seemed to snap whatever form of self-restraint Naruto had forced upon himself. In less than a second Sasuke found himself pinned up against the wall by his neck

"Why…. Were you using advanced techniques against someone who isn't even a genin yet" Naruto demanded in a dangerously soft voice

Sasuke shivered when he found himself unable escape Naruto's grip

"K-Kakashi-sensei used that on me when I was a genin, she's not that much younger" Sasuke whispered back, trying to justify himself

Naruto's eyes flashed, he whipped around, throwing Sasuke into the opposite wall

"JUST BECAUSE KAKASHI USED IT ON YOU WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG DOES'T MEAN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO!!!! ESPECIALLY AGAINST SOMEONE THAT YOUNG!!!" he screeched, as he stomped forward again

Suddenly a high-pitched whistle filled the air, and Naruto was thrown backwards. The kids howled in rage, and whipped around to find whoever had launched that attack

Everything stilled as they saw Nina walk forward, holding a flute. She marched to stand in front of Sasuke as Naruto stood back up

"Bad Nii-san!!!" she exclaimed in a quiet but noticeably angry voice

Exclamations of shock rang throughout the room, but no one moved as Sasuke heaved himself to his feet

"Nina! Move" Naruto growled, Nina paid him no mind, instead she backed closer to Sasuke

"Nii-san not hurt Sasuke. Nii-san get over himself and go heal Machi" she scolded Naruto's eyes flew open in shock, as if he had forgotten Machi was hurt

As Naruto raced to heal her, Nina turned to Sasuke, he blinked when he saw she was still angry

"Baka Sasuke! Say you're sorry to Machi!" and with that she dragged him toward the couch

Machi was sitting up now, looking much better now that he hands were healed, but she still had some scrapes. Nina pushed Sasuke up to her and then stood back

Sasuke realized that every eye was on him and swallowed nervously

"S-sorry Machi" he mumbled sincerely

Machi, and every other kid except Roku looked satisfied with his apology, Roku glowered and nodded, clearly not happy that Sasuke's beating was interrupted

The kids started to disperse when Nina spoke again

"Nii-chan, say sorry to Sasuke"

Quite a few kids looked startled, clearly thinking 'what did nii-san do?'. Naruto's expression showed that he had been expecting her ordered so he turned to Sasuke

"Sorry"

Sasuke nodded, and then on a whim

"I should apologize to you too, after all you left me in charge"

Naruto looked dumbstruck, he sputtered a thanks and looked down at Nina, who was smiling softly

"First you get him to smile and then apologize?? You have a gift!!" Naruto exclaimed, laughter rang out among the kids. Sasuke scowled but his cheeks were tinged with pink as he flicked Naruto's ear. He froze once he realized what he had just done, but Naruto scratched his ears and poked Sasuke's forehead

Before it could escalate into a poking war between the two Nina once again spoke out

"Nii-san, what's in the box?"

ok, I think this is a good stopping point , so what are your comments on the first chapter in months??? Still interesting I hope XD

I can predict questions to why Nina talks the way she does, but remember, she's only 4

Should I bring Sakura back into this story?? (I hate her but I will if you want me too)

Yes? or No? REVIEW AND TELL ME!!!!!
