Chapter 9

Sasuke feels himself floating around in darkness. He turns in every direction but doesn't find which direction to float in. Suddenly, he hears the booming voice of Naruto, echoing all around him.

"I'm hated."

"I should just die."

"Who would love a demon like me?"

"I killed so many people."

"I deserve to be killed."

"I should just give up."

Sasuke no longer being able to take it anymore yells, "Naruto, you deserve to live, more so than anybody. Don't you dare give up!" Suddenly, the voices stop and there is a bunch of bright light that temporarily blinds Sasuke.

When he is able to see again, he could see seven little fire red kits (baby foxes). One of them speak, "If you could catch the 7 of us in 60 minutes we will show you where one of our masters resides. If not, then we get to eat you." All the kits smile, showing all their very sharp teeth and fangs.

Sasuke smiles and says as he activating his sharingan and taking a fighting pose, "Bring it on!"

"Nuh-uh, no cheating. We know all about your sharingan from our Master." One of the kits sneaks up on him and smacks the back of his head.

"What the hell was that for?" Sasuke feels that can't activate the sharingan. Shit. Maybe this won't be so easy. Oh well, looks like I'll have just a little bit of trouble.

"Here is how it works. All you have to do is grab us and if we go poof then you caught the right one."

"Caught the right one? But you said to catch all seven of you." Sasuke asks.

"Oh that's right," there is a big cloud of smoke that goes off. When the smoke clears, Sasuke sees at least 500 of the same little foxes. "At least you have a fighting chance. Somewhat, anyway. You have 15 minutes to prepare yourself." A giant clock appears with a puff of smoke one the wall.

Double shit! This is like fighting Naruto with all these damn clones.

For the first time, Sasuke notices his surroundings. The room a giant hall the size of 4 training grounds. The ceiling is as high as a ten-story building. The walls are a deep red that is a few shaeds lighter than kits. Sasuke begins stretching, knowing he is going to use a lot of energy.

Ten minutes later, Sasuke is sitting on the ground thinking of all the time he spent with Naruto, how he loud he is, although this did get on his nerves before, but is now able to deal with it, just another one of his charms. Somehow Naruto managed to chipped away all the ice surrounding his heart with the rivalry between the two of them. He considers all this and knows that he must catch all the annoying little pests so he could save his best friend and his love.

Five minutes pass and a loud bell goes off, practically making Sasuke go deaf.

"Are you ready?" Sasuke nods at the voice. "Well, here we go!"

Another big puff of smoke appears and Sasuke immediately dives into the cloud ready to grab the first thing he can, hoping luck would be on his side.

He does grab something and when the smoke kind of clears he sees something orange. He sees that he grabbed Naruto's penis. Sasuke quickly lets go and blushes a very deep red.

"Dobe, what are you doing here?" Sasuke asks, still red in the face.

Naruto begins to giggle very hard. "Oh Sasuke, you're such a naughty boy." Naruto goes up on his tip-toes and tries to kiss Sasuke.

"You are not Naruto." Sasuke says angrily. He shoves the imposter away.

"Aww, you caught me. Too bad you didn't touch me." The Naruto-fake is surrounded by a puff of smoke and transforms into 30 little kits. "Hahahaha, you were so close."

Sasuke looks dumbfounded, "Shit!" Sasuke begins to feel like he is going to fail.

Thirty minutes later Sasuke managed to catch only two of the annoying pests; and they were by luck. He tripped on top of one of them as there were at least five dancing and prancing around him. The second one happened to be laying on a ledge a bit higher than the rest of the grounds. Sasuke had jumped into the air trying to get a better vantage point to leap and grab another Naruto by surprise, he saw a kit on the ledge with a giant sleep bubble. As he was falling, he decide to land on the cliff to test his luck. As his feet were about to touch the floor, the small kit rolled over and was stepped on by Sasuke, who in turned fell and landed on his face.

Looking at the clock, he realized he had only 15 minutes and still had to catch five more. Then an idea struck him. The two that were caught had the same mannerisms as the actual Naruto: the clumsiness (1), the sleepiness (2). He tried to think of what else Naruto acted like.

'He likes ramen. But what about that first one he grabbed, which was transformed into a naked Naruto. He wanted to kiss me and giggled when I accidentally touched his… Anyway, could it be that they are giving me subtle hints.' Sasuke thinks. 'I got it. The first one with the kiss could mean that Naruto wants to be loved by someone; which then in turn means that that little fox would be the chest where his heart is. The other clue about being close could mean that he is horny. But the where would that kit be?' Another Naruto pops up wearing nothing but a loincloth this time. 'I got it.'

Sasuke goes over to 'him'. "Sasuke, can I get a nice big kiss?" 'Naruto' asks innocently. Sasuke tries to ignore this, although he feels his member throb at the thought of Naruto actually asking for a kiss like that and dressed that way. Sasuke puts that thought in the back of his mind although the imposter looks absolutely – fuck-able. Sasuke goes over to 'Naruto' and kisses him (3) while one hand touches his chest (4), where his heart is located, and shoves a finger up 'Naruto's' ass (5). Three puffs of smoke appear.

'Yes! I figured those out. A real kiss and being loved. I got lucky with that last one. I guess since when i grabbed his... his... pe- thing, it didnt count. But me being a horny bastard, I would think that, if he doesn't want to be Seme then it has to be he wants to be a uke.' Sasuke shudders in pleasure at the thought of what would really feel like. 'But what else? There is still the ramen and what else?' Sasuke thinks hard, 'I got it!

Looking at the clock, he notices that he only has 3 minutes.

As the next 'Naruto' poofs out of nowhere, Sasuke sets to work on his next ideas. Naruto is dressed this time as the regular Naruto, in the orange jumpsuit. Naruto stays where he is and waits for Sasuke to come over. This Naruto is crying, with his bright blue eyes shining. This image, although not the real Naruto, breaks Sasuke's heart. Sasuke rethinks of his clues and comes up with a different one. He kisses Naruto's left temple (6) and kisses both his eyes(7). Finally, as the clock reaches the last minute, two puffs of smoke appears.

Author's Notes:

Ok just as an explanation: The seven chibi kits all had mannerisms like the real Naruto.

Like the hundreds of clones. The seven mannerisms that the real Naruto had was:

1. Naruto is sometimes clumsy

2. Naruto gets sleepy when bored

3. Naruto wants a real kiss (not an accidental lip bump)

4. Naruto wants someone to love him

5. Naruto wants to be a uke (woohoo!)

6. Naruto wants someone to share his dreams with

7. And finally, Naruto wants someone to wash away his tears when sad.

I know it's kinda corny. So tell me what you think.

Confused about something? Something doesn't make sense? Please let me know so I could fix it.
