A/N: I don't own Naruto! Enjoy the next chapter.

-Back in town-

Naruto was running through the streets of Konoha, trying his best to find his teammate, Apex. He wanted to get some training in with him but he wanted a few more minutes to look at the sunrise himself. He was starting down the street leading to the path going to the training grounds when he looked out of the corner of his eyes and saw his pink haired teammate. He looked down at the clothes he was wearing and gulped, 'I hope she likes it.' He thought as he made his way to confront the girl of his dreams.

"Hey there Sakura-Chan!" he said enthusiastically about 20 feet away and closing in.

Sakura was looking at one of the market stall and heard the voice of Naruto. She just waited and when she heard footsteps approaching she replied, "Oh, hi Naruto. I was just doing some shopping before I…" she trailed off and stopped talking when she looked up and saw the blond haired boy. His hair was dirty blond, but it was a pure color. He wore a black t-shirt that was sleeveless and ripped showing off a few small muscles he had for a kid. His pants were a burnt orange and he was wearing black sandals. 'What the?' she thought. "Naruto? Is that really you?" she asked, not sure if this was the same idiot friend of hers. He certainly did look different.

"Of course it's me Sakura-Chan." He said with a goofy smile. "I just decided to buy some new clothes and clean myself up. Do you like these clothes?" he asked, hoping that she would say yes.

'Oh Kami. Now I'm on a team with three hot guys. Wait, did I just call Naruto hot? Wow, but I can't help it I mean look at him. He is on the same level with Sasuke and not far behind Apex. I better not let him know.' She thought to herself. "Well it does fit you better then that dumb thing you used to wear." She replied.

Naruto chuckled and gave another goofy grin, "Thanks Sakura-Chan. By the way, have you seen Apex?"

"No I haven't' why?" she asked

"Well I just wanted to get some training with him. Might as well make some good use of the time we have off." he replied, "Hey you want to come with me and look for him? I was heading to the training grounds and we might see him there. You could probably use some training as well." he said.

Sakura was still in a bit of shock by the way her friend looked, but she snapped out of it and nodded. They both started down the path toward training ground 7.

-Training ground 7-

"Fire Style Phoenix flower Jutsu!" yelled Sasuke, as a stream of fire exited his mouth heading straight for Apex. The red haired ninja responded by sighing and forming a few hand signs. "Wind style, Air bullet jutsu!" as white air bullets flew from his hand (A/N: I don't like it coming from his mouth, seems strange) and cancled out the fire jutsu with a small explosion. Sasuke was waiting for the smoke to clear when he suddenly felt a chakra presence right behind him. 'Damn' was all he managed to think before he was kicked right on the back, bending his spine a little causing serious pain. He flew forward about 12 feet but managed to stabilize himself and turned around only to be greeted with a punch to the gut, he gasped as the wind was almost knocked out of him as he flew back a few more feet. 'I guess i have no choice...' "Sharingan!" said Sasuke as both of his eyes began to swirl and made the shape of multiple pupils.

'So this is what the Sharingan looks like eh?' thought Apex as he contemplated on what move to make next. 'Guess i will continue with Taijutsu' and with that Apex dissappeared in an instant appearing behind Sasuke again. He swung his fist at Sasuke's head but he ducked out of the way meer miliseconds from impact. "Hmm?" Apex said out loud as he appeared in front of Sasuke ready to deliver a knee to his face. Sasuke then jumped up and threw a few shuriken at Apex which he easilly dodged. But as soon as he recovered from the Shuriken he saw Sasuke running straight at him. "Is this the best the last Uchiha has? I'm disappointed. How do you plan on defeating Itachi being a weakling like that? Your all alone and won't let anyone in, how pathetic." said Apex but he was answered with a punch to the face which he caught. Then he felt Sasuke's weight change as he was flipping over Apex, Sasuke then got a direct hit to Apex's back. Apex stumbled but recovered very quickly, but he was greeted with a kick to his side. He flinched a bit and Sasuke wasn't letting up on his attacks. He went for a Kunai to end the fight. He rose his hand and was about to deliver the final blow. When he suddenly felt a huge pain right in the center of his place as he was flying back away from Apex. He hit the ground and rolled a little bit until he crashed into a tree stump. He held his face as the burning would not stop, it was like he was getting his face pounded on but nothing was happening right? 'What the hell is this?' Sasuke thought as he looked over at Apex, or better yet 2 of Apex. 'I should have guessed. It's that stupid Shadow clone jutsu. But why the hell is my face burning so bad.' Sasuke looked closely at the clone that punched him in his face. He noticed his hand was slightly on fire. "What the hell? You can use fire style Jutsu as well?" asked Sasuke shocked at how hard he hit him with just one punch from a shadow clone.

"Uchiha, i told you that you shouldn't be using those weapons on your own teammate." said Apex as he straightened his shirt.

"Shut up! Your no where near my level of power. You don't deserve to be on any team on mine." yelled Sasuke.

"But I'm not the one laying on my ass after just one punch now am I?" retorted Apex, in a superior way.

"That's it your finished!" yelled Sasuke as he got up. "I'll show you an attack you won't survive from." Sasuke began forming hand signs for another fire technique. "Fire style, Grand fireball Jutsu!" he roared as he opened his mouth and a massive stream of fire came out and formed into the shape of a ball that headed for Apex. 'Wow, that's pretty big...I think it will destroy half of this training ground.' Apex thought. "Earth style, Earth wall jutsu!" shouted Apex as he planted both his hands firmly on the ground. A massive solid rock of earth rose up and defended against the incoming fire attack. A massive explosion occurred resulting in multiple rock shards falling to the ground. Sasuke was panting heavily, exhausted because he was still working on that jutsu. It required a lot of chakra and he could only perform it a maximum of two times. 'How is this possible? He hasn't even broken a sweat and I'm almost out of chakra.'

"I see you're almost out of Chakra, Uchiha." said Apex.

'How could he know that, he doesn't have any bloodline limit that I can see.'

"You would be surprised at what a person's face and posture gives away during a battle. You are slumped over, panting heavily and your showing emotion. That emotion is worry, so it's obvious your afraid your going to lose this fight."

Sasuke growled and pulled out a scroll. He opened it and a puff of smoke occurred. When the smoke cleared Sasuke was holding a giant shuriken. 'Wow, that is just crazy. He plans on attacking me with something that big. Is he really trying to kill me?' Apex thought as he mentally chuckled.

-Back with Naruto and Sakura-

After hearing the massive explosion and seeing a large amount of smoke appearing from training ground seven, Naruto and Sakura both started speeding toward it. "What the hell was that?" asked Naruto.

"I don't know Naruto. I hope no one got hurt." said Sakura running by his side.

They then approached the clearing of the training ground and saw two figures, one was standing and one was slumped over holding a massive shuriken. "Apex, Sasuke! What are you two doing?" Naruto shouted from afar.

"Shut the hell up and don't get in my way! He's going to die!" yelled Sasuke. Angered by how someone could read him like a book. 'No one could understand me, it's impossible!' he inwardly yelled to himself.

"Sasuke, why are you using a weapon like that! He's our teammate! You idiot, your not supposed to use that on a comrade!" shouted Naruto.

"I said shut up dope!" roared Sasuke back to the blond boy.

"No! Your being an idiot! You think your so good just because your the last Uchiha! What is killing your teammate going to accomplish? You think that will bring everyone back? You think that hurting other people is the answer to your problems? Tell me Sasuke!" Naruto shouted.

"That's it!" and with that, Sasuke threw the giant shuriken. It was heading for Apex at first, but curved and was heading straight for Naruto and Sakura. Naruto jumped out of the way seeing the blade coming for him and Sakura. He expected her to do the same. "Sakura! Get out of there!" he shouted. But Sakura was to shocked to move. Her teammate, one of her crushes, was about to kill her. She has tried so hard to make him her friend, but now he attacks her. Her eyes were tearing up as she saw the blade spinning rapidly and heading straight for her. "Sakura!" Naruto yelled, unable to stop the momentum carrying him away from her. When the shuriken got within feet of Sakura, she closed her eyes, awaiting the blade. She could hear the blade spinning, but it didn't hit her. She didn't hear just one object spinning, she heard two! They flew right by her and she heard two loud thumps of metal landing on trees. She opened her eyes slowly and saw Apex standing in front of her, his katana held out in front of him. "Apex-Kun?" asked a startled Sakura.

'That's impossible! He cut my shuriken in half, and didn't make a sound!' thought Sasuke. As he stood up into a fighting position preparing for his next move.

"That's enough Sasuke!" yelled a figure from the trees. The entire squad turned and looked but saw no one. Then Kakashi appeared in a swirl of leaves. "I'm disappointed in you. You were about to kill your own teammates over your frustration. I'm beginning to wonder if i should have even passed you." said Kakashi. Sasuke lowered his head. He knew deep down that he wasn't this kind of person. But after all he's been through, witnessing his family die in front of his eyes by the hands of his own brother... It was so hard to not contain his rage.

"Kakashi-Sensei, it's my fault." everyone turned and looked at Apex. "I provoked him to much. I knew about his experience with the Uchiha massacre. I wanted to see how strong he really is, but in my own selfishness, it almost cost Sakura-Chan her life..." he said as he lowered his head in shame. Sakura on the other hand was squealing on the inside thinking how Apex defended her and called her -Chan. 'He cares for us!' she thought as she mentally fist pumped.

Now Sasuke's rage was building even more. He hasn't even been into the village for more than a week, and he knows so much about it. He understands Sasuke more than anyone has before. Sasuke didn't know how to react to find someone that understands him. So his first impulse was to react violently. There just couldn't be anyone out there that could understand him. His goal in life was to kill Itachi, and that was it.

"You should only train without lethal force. If i see you doing this again, you are both being stripped of your Genin rank and removed from the program permanently. Got it?" said Kakashi with a strict tone. Apex looked at Kakashi and nodded while Sasuke didn't show any signs that he even heard the Jounin. With that, Kakashi disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

Apex started making his way out of the training ground, when he slightly turned his head and said, "We should do this again sometimes Uchiha. Next time though, leave your toys at home." Apex gave a smirk while Naruto ran over to him and walked next to him. Sakura looked at Sasuke, with hurt in her eyes but she ran over the Apex's other side and they made their way out of the training ground. Leaving the Uchiha to his own thoughts.

A/N: Ok, don't hate me because i made Sasuke kind of a jerk but it was kind of necessary for me in my story. Trust me there will be a lot of surprises later on in the story. Just stay tuned and hopefully you will like it. Till next time =)
