So I won't be able to update for the next week because me and my family are going on vacation. Don't worry I'll be thinking up the episodes and writing them down on paper since there will be no computer or internet where I'll go… Oh and sorry but this chapter will have to be short.

I do not own Naruto but I would be awesome if I did.

On with the chapter

"Wait up kid" Naruto shouted again as he ran to her, he caught up to her and picked her up. "Don't be mad at him"

"He wants me to go away" Minori said crying "He doesn't like me"

"Oh common" Naruto said with a sigh "Did you know that ninja's don't cry?" he asked in a whisper.

"They don't" she asked wiping her tears.

"Your uncle Sasuke doesn't like people that much" Naruto brushed her bangs off her face "He's just that way well since always"

"But he doesn't like me" Minori whispered looking back at everyone, they had all stopped fighting and had team Taka all tied up. "He hates me" she whispered.

"He hates me too" Naruto smiled "But he's my friend and I would never change him for anyone"

"Really?" she asked as he carried her back to the group.

"Really" Naruto ruffled her hair "Now why don't you go give him a hug"

"Won't he get mad?" she asked.

"He'll get over it" Naruto smiled

"What's your name?" she asked before he put her down.

"You can call me Uncle Naruto if you like" Naruto scratched the back of his head.

"Okay uncle Naruto" she smiled and ran back to Sasuke on the ground, he wasn't bleeding or anything but he looked real tired. She took a deep breath and hugged his neck making his eyes snap open "I'm sorry you're stuck with me" she whispered.

Sasuke was a bit surprised she said it that way. He let her hug him since he couldn't push her away from him, but somewhere deep inside him he was happy she didn't hate him "It's okay" he said simply.

Minori stepped back. "I won't cry anymore" she smiled "Ninja don't cry"

There was a sigh and Sakura came around "Common Minori, it's past your bed time" she said simply and helped Sasuke up till he was leaning on her as they walked "As to you" she said to Sasuke but he didn't look up "You will be going back to the hospital for a few days"

"It's your fault" Sasuke muttered and Sakura was a bit shocked, he would never talk to her. "That mark is just draining my chakra"

"That mark was placed my Lady Tsunade" Ino said walking beside them, the rest of them were trying to carry a struggling Juugo and a pissed Suigetsu. Karin was just annoyed as Kakashi carried her on his back.

"Once she knows you can be trusted she'll let you go" Sakura said simply "Oh and Ibiki would like to question you tomorrow about these guys"

"Ask them" Sasuke muttered as his eyes started to close. He could hear someone laughing behind him. Naruto was playing with Minori, throwing her in the air as they walked. Sasuke's mouth twitched up into a small smile, she belonged with them not me, he thought as he slipped into unconsciousness.

Okay so it was too short for my liking but it turned out fine. I hope you like it and I'll update as soon as I can when I get home again. PLEASE review.
