Sorry about that too, but I do not want to rush on this story to end it. The update date keeps extending doesn't it? Well I this is the last extension. K? Sorry again.

Thanks for the reviews

Disclaimer: Naruto not mine, yup not mine at all.

"Hey teme! Where are we going?" Naruto whined.

"Shut up! Usuratonkachi! How many times have I told you? We need to get away from here," Sasuke said with irritation. He was still walking with an immobile arm.

"But teme, we've been walking for hours, besides couldn't we have just stayed at the inn? I mean it's free, no people, and the best place to be at the moment!" Naruto explained happily. Sasuke sighed at his stupidity.

"You just thought of that?" Naruto stopped walking and glared at the boy ahead of him. Sasuke noticed that Naruto stopped and he also stopped. The raven-haired boy paused then turned around glaring at Naruto, now both are glaring at each other.

"Yea, so what? Not a bad idea huh?"

"Naruto, what is the point ofme being with you?" Naruto paused to think for a moment.

"To run away?"

"Correct. Now if we are running away from Tsunade and Konoha, why would we stay at the inn we were just at?" Sasuke questioned the blond-haired boy as if questioning a preschooler.

"Because, it's free?" Naruto replied tilting his head to the side a bit. Sasuke felt like banging his head for the other boy's stupidity.

"Wrong, dobe. It is because Tsunade knows we were there." Sasuke seethed. Naruto scratched his head.

"So what? Why would she look for us anyway? To see if I was dead?" The last sentence was whispered and shifted his head down, letting his bangs cover his eyes. Sasuke's anger flew out with a sigh. The raven-haired boy full understood what Naruto meant. "Besides they might want you back because you're an Uchiha, you're important to them I…I'm just a—" Naruto was cut off by the other boy.

"Let's go dobe, either way we both are missing-nin now," Sasuke stated. He started to walk and lead the way. Naruto just stood his place. Sasuke noticed this and stopped; then yelled, "Come on dobe. Or else I'll just leave you there."

Sasuke kept walking never looking back to check if Naruto would follow, because he knows that he will sometime. Naruto sniffed and shifted his head up. He smiled brightly and yelled obnoxiously, "Like I care teme, maybe it'd be better if you left me then I won't have to deal with a bastard like you!!" Naruto ran after Sasuke and caught up till they were walking side-by-side.

Sasuke smirked, "Then why'd you run to me if it's better to not deal with me, dobe?" Naruto looked away to the side, staring at some interesting trees.

"Just," Naruto pause. Sasuke could tell he was embarrassed, "just because I feel pity for you Sasuke. After all I am the great Uzumaki Naruto. I help anyone who is in need even if that person is a bastard." Naruto puffed his chest up to seem 'great' and fisted his right hand then softly banged his chest. "Yup, I'm the great Uzumaki Naruto!" Sasuke had one eyebrow up—a questioning look.

"Pity? Help? Che, nice excuse," Naruto crossed his arms and 'hmphed' at the statement. Sasuke smirked again, "Let's go dobe."

After a couple of minutes of walking and Naruto following Sasuke in silence, Naruto asked a question, "Ne Sasuke?"

"Hn?"

"One question, where are we going?" The both kept walking.

"Southeast from here, it will lead up to an ocean and once we cross using our chakra (since he can't swim at the moment) to the second nearest village: the country of Water, the village of Hidden Mist." Sasuke stated rather bored, not even looking back to see Naruto's face.

"Oh ok." Naruto replied. After another moment of silence Naruto question Sasuke again, "What is the nearest village and why didn't we go there?" Sasuke stopped for a moment then walked again.

"Because the nearest village is to the south, and that is the Hidden Village of Sound. Also the Sound village borders Konoha and the Lighting Country, it will be stupid to go there." Sasuke said with coldness in his voice. Upon hearing what Sasuke had just said there was an awkward silence.

The Country of Water—the Village of Hidden Mist!

"Ok, we made it here, it's nighttime too. Shouldn't we find a place to stay? Especially since we are both hurt?" Naruto asked tired from traveling.

Sasuke nodded in agreement, "We should find an inn, oh and Naruto change yourself into your girl form."

Confused, Naruto tilted his head to the side a bit, then clasp his hands together making a sign "Henge!" with a 'poof' Naruto turned into a pigtailed blonde-haired girl with a big chest, and whisker-like marks on his cheeks (did I mention naked too?), "One question, why?"

Sasuke sighed, "Put clothes on dobe! I'll tell you once we're at the inn. Also make your chest smaller, take out the pigtails, turn your hair black, and take out those scars on your face," Sasuke commanded.

Naruto growled; he hated being told what to do especially if the one commanding is his 'rival'. "Why should I teme!?" Naruto yelled.

"Just do it and I'll tell you at the inn!" Sasuke growled, frustrated with Naruto's defiance.

Naruto muttered a couple of incoherent words, but complied. "Henge!" with another 'poof' Naruto turned into a girl with black hair to her shoulders, a small chest, no scar marks, wearing an orange jumpsuit, and big clear blue eyes. Naruto looked like an innocent angel wearing an orange jumpsuit—did I mention he looked adorable!

Sasuke looked at the new form and nodded his head in approval. The boy grabbed the 'girl's' hand and led her to the entrance of the building, a couple of blocks away. They stopped just outside of the entrance. Sasuke faced Naruto and commanded once again, "Now you keep your mouth shut, and look as innocent as possible. No matter what I say in there just smile and act natural. Got it?" Naruto was confused and angry.

"Teme! Just tell me!"

"If I do you'll just ruin it, no matter how good a liar you are. I promise to explain once we get a room, just promise me you'll do what I said." Sasuke sighed he was tired.

Naruto muttered a couple more incoherent words, but nodded and said, "Fine I'll smile and keep my mouth shut ya happy?!" Sasuke nodded then grabbed Naruto's hand.

"What—" Naruto was going to question about the grabbing-the-hand deal.

"Keep your mouth shut dobe." Then Sasuke led Naruto to the inside of the inn to the front desk.

"Yes what may I help you two with?" the front desk person asked.

"We would like a room." Sasuke stated. His face blank like usual. The person eyed both of them then smiled.

"Oh out somewhere together?" he asked.

"Sort of" Sasuke replied not really wanting to converse.

"A one bedroom room is that what you two would like?" he asked smiling. Naruto's eyes widened and was about to protest, Sasuke noticed this and grabbed Naruto's arm with his mobile hand and hugged him to cut off the blonde-haired girl's protest. Sasuke whispered into his/her ear.

"Dobe, shut up and smile." Naruto glared at the raven-haired boy but smiled anyways.

The front desk person mistook it as an affectionate hug and smiled even more. Sasuke still looked at the man with a stoic face and said, "Yes a one bedroom room."

"Ok, would you give me your names please?"

"Suzuki Hideki and Suzuki Yoko" Sasuke stated. Naruto's eyes widened again. Why the hell do we have the same last name? Why couldn't we just use our names? Damn mine means sun child, and his is wisdom?! What the hell? The teme better have a good explanation for this. "Can we also get a first aid kit sent up? We got injured on the way here." The person nodded in reply.

The person wrote on a scroll their names next to their room number, "You're room will be on the third floor, its number 325" He then handed the key to Sasuke. "Have a nice stay!" Sasuke nodded and took the key.

Sasuke held Naruto's hand till they got inside their room, then he let go. Naruto glared at Sasuke then asked, "Now, explain teme."

Sasuke sighed, "Fine, it's pretty simple if you aren't so dense. We are in the identities of Suzuki Hideki and Suzuki Yoko. We are married and we travel to many places. Simple, it's so Tsunade can't find us as easily."

"Ok, now why am I the girl and you the boy?"

"You're stupid jutsu dobe; I can't hold it as long as you can."

"Why are we supposedly married, wouldn't it be just easier if I be a guy too; we can get two separate beds and say we are cousins or something."

"Can't you notice that we look nothing a like?"

"Well I can transform and look sort of like you, oh and by the way why didn't I change my eye color too, then it would be a full cover."

"It's easier to not get noticed if we are a married couple, because Tsunade would search for two boys traveling together. I have my reasons for the second one."

"Why didn't you change?"

"I barely have enough chakra."

There was a knock on the door, Naruto (still in girl form) was the closest one and so he answered it. A man with a first aid kit stood there smiling. "Here is the first aid kit; you guys can keep it till you leave." He handed the kit to Naruto and Naruto muttered thanks and closed the door.

"Hey teme, here you go!" Naruto took the kit to where Sasuke is—he sat on the edge of the bed while Naruto answered the door.

Naruto sat on the floor and changed back to his old form as Sasuke started to bandage his wounds; Naruto stared at him as Sasuke fumbled a bit because he only had his right hand mobile.

"Need help?"

"No." Sasuke stated, not wanting any help because of his stupid pride.

"Don't be a bastard you can't do that without my help."

"Yes I can, so shut-up dobe." Naruto sighed at his stubbornness. He decided to help even though the other boy protested. Naruto stood up and walked towards to Sasuke till he was in front of the raven-haired boy. "What are you doing?"

"Helping," Naruto then grabbed the bandages from Sasuke's hand and stared to wrap it around his abdomen. Sasuke stiffened at the close contact with the other boy. Naruto smells like the forest and a hint of metal. Maybe from the tower. Sasuke sat still till Naruto finished wrapping his abdomen. Naruto then sat next to Sasuke and said, "Now turn and face me you got a couple cuts on your face, oh your arm and some on the back."

"I can handle it dobe. Besides weren't you injured too?" Sasuke whispered, clearly embarrassed he needed help. Naruto took a cotton ball and dipped it in alcohol, then dabbed it at Sasuke's wounds.

"Nah all are healed, I feel fine. Remember I heal like a monster!!" Naruto said happily as he cleaned more of Sasuke's wounds with alcohol. There was an awkward silence as Naruto finished cleaning his wound and now placing band-aids to cover them.

"There I'm done!!" Naruto grabbed the used cotton balls and the plastic coverings form the band-aid and walked into the bathroom to throw it in the trash. He came back then closed the kit and placed it in a drawer. "Well that wasn't so bad now was it teme!! Now I'm tired, so how are we going to sleep, one on the floor the other on the bed?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke was tired, "Dobe we can both sleep on the bed it's big enough and besides we're both guys it should be fine. Also I'm too tired to argue over such a trivial thing." Naruto was hesitant but was too tired to be his obnoxious self, and just nodded. He sat down and went under the covers then laid back, Sasuke did the same. They lay back to back after a couple of awkwardness both boys laid on their back staring at the ceiling, Naruto noticed Sasuke wasn't asleep yet and asked a question.

"Ne Sasuke, is this how we are going to live, you know in moments like this?" Naruto whispered.

"Not sure dobe."

"Would you like to? I mean it feels nice, you know not being alone." the last part barely audible. The awkward silence turned to a comfortable one. Sasuke semi-smiled in the dark.

"Yeah, that'd be nice." Sasuke whispered. Naruto heard and smiled.

Tsunade's office

(Ok to let you guys know it took Sasuke about I think it was three days to get there, then it took about a day and a half for Sasuke and Naruto to get to the village they are in now, and this skip is eight days from when Sasuke left)

"Where is that Uchiha, he should have been here by now, it only takes three days to get here and back, he should have been here yesterday if the fight went on for a day!!" Tsunade felt uncomfortable, she then checked he lottery ticket. She gasped, she won!

"Damn it, that Uchiha I have a bad feeling about this." Tsunade called in a few Anbu and told them to go where Sasuke's letter was told to. She didn't care if Sasuke was told to come alone, she knows something bad happened, and besides it's been eight days.

"I knew I shouldn't have trusted him, wait correct that, I never did trust him."

A day has passed since she sent the Anbu, it was morning and Tsunade was surprised to find an Anbu appearing in her office in a puff of smoke.

"You aren't supposed to have been here yet, what is it?" She asked, she knows something was wrong, again. The Anbu bowed then kept his head shifted down.

"Tsunade-sama, I am sorry to inform you but we found—"

Author's note: Like I said I am sorry for being a week and two hours late. Well please tell me if you lost interest in it, I mean at the moment it doesn't seem so interesting so please tell me if

Was it boring?

The plot going way too slow, or something?

Do you hate it now and lost interest cause the author is updating too slow?

Thank you for reading!

IMPORTANT Note: Well if you think any of the characters is a bit of out of character, I agree. However, people mature when they grow and it's been five years now since they were twelve, and so they matured especially with the events had happened. For example Sakura changed a bit from her twelve year old self, but still kept a bit of her character. Well that is what I am doing to Sasuke and Naruto, or at least trying to. So tell me if they are WAY too much out of character, but if it was a little, I think it should be fine, right?

See you in two weeks, hopefully.
