I'm really sorry that I've made all of you wait so long but I've had a lot going on. My best friend had her baby on the 14th, I went to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn Part 1 on the 17th, I've been working on an English paper and I've been studying for finals. In my last chapter, someone had said that I was making Naruto seem weaker than Sasuke but in this chapter I'm trying to make them equal to each other.

"Looks like you've finally grown up" Sasuke said with an evil smile on his face
"I'm surprised you noticed seeing as you only think about yourself. What would your family say if they were alive and saw what you are doing?" Sakura said with a look of disappointment and sadness on her face.
"Well unfortunately they aren't alive now are they? No, and they never will be"
"Alright I've had enough! You may think that you're getting revenge for your parent's death but all you are doing is hurting yourself. Because of everything you've done, you've made the entire village including your own team hate you!" Naruto said with a furious look on his face and his hands clenched at his sides.
"It's obvious that you won't come back willingly as you said earlier but I'm going to do everything in my power to bring you back with us, even if I have to bring you back dead." Naruto said as orange flames began to surround his body. Knowing that there was nothing she could do to stop him and that he didn't want any help, Sakura backed away.
Naruto didn't wait for Sasuke to get ready, instead he ran straight at Sasuke as fast as he could. As soon as he was in front of Sasuke he pulled his right fist back and punched him in the face, making him fly backwards into the rock wall causing pieces of rock to fly everywhere.
Naruto stood there and watched as Sasuke stood up slowly.
"You're finally learning" Sasuke said
"I learned from the best" Naruto said grabbing his chakra blade and charging at Sasuke again.

Naruto opened his eyes to see nothing but white surrounding him. He sat up and looked around, not really sure where he was.
"Naruto" Naruto heard a voice say and looked around to see where it was coming from. Suddenly he saw someone walking towards him and as he stood there watching the person come closer, he noticed it was a woman. She was very slender and had beautiful long red hair and blue eyes.
"Who is this woman? And where am I?" Naruto asked himself as the woman walked up to him and stood in front of him. She raised her right hand and placed it on Naruto's left cheek and looked into his eyes.
"I've waited so long to see you again Naruto" the woman said softly
"How do you know my name? Who are you?" Naruto asked in confusion
"I'm Kushina Uzumaki" She said with a smile and Naruto just stared at her.
"Kushina Uzu….you mean, you're my m-moth-"
"Yes Naruto, I am your mother" She replied with a smile
"Am I in heaven?" Naruto asked his face full of shock and confusion.
"Yes" she replied softly
"Is this real?" Naruto asked
"No, it is just in your head" she said
"I don't get it. Why am I here? I'm not dead." Naruto said
"You're not dead. You're still alive, just unconscious" She said
"Then why am I here" Naruto asked
"Your mind can take you wherever you want to go" She replied with a smile
"How do get out of here?" Naruto asked
All you have to do is tell yourself that you are ready to leave"
"NARUTO!"
"Huh what was that?" Naruto said when he heard his name being called
"Please wake up!"
"They're waiting for you" She said lifting her hand to his cheek again and leaning up and kissing him on his forehead. Suddenly a door appeared in front of them. Naruto looked to his mother and she gave a small nod as to tell him it was alright to go.
"I missed you mom" Naruto said before turning and walking through the door.
"I missed you too my son" his mother said softly with a tear running down her cheek as she watched him leave her sight.

"NARUTO!" Sakura screamed running over to Naruto who was lying on the hard ground with his eyes closed. She knelt down and laid his head on her lap. Kakashi, who had returned minutes after the fight began, stood a few feet away from them looking around, checking to make sure no enemies were around.
"Please wake up!"
Suddenly Sakura felt someone's hand on her cheek and opened her eyes to see Naruto looking up at her with his eyes open and a small smile on his face.
"Naruto, you idiot! You just about gave me a heart attack!" Sakura yelled looking down at Naruto with tears running down her face. She leaned down and wrapped her arms around him.
"You didn't really think I would die did you?" Naruto asked jokingly with a small laugh and Sakura sat up and looked at him with a serious face
"I should kick your ass right now"
"You wouldn't do that, you love me too much" Naruto said with a grin on his face and Sakura was about to say something but then sighed.
"Yeah…you're right" Sakura said
"You're never going to change are you?"Kakashi said walking over to them
"What do you think?" Naruto said
"Yeah I didn't think so" Kakashi said smiling behind his mask
"Where is Sasuke?" Naruto said sitting up from Sakura's lap and looking around.
"He's over there" Kakashi said and Naruto looked to his right and saw Sasuke laying a couple feet away from them unconscious.
"Guess it's time to take Sasuke home with us" Naruto said before closing his eyes and collapsing onto Sakura's lap once more.

Thanks for reading! I really hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I realize there really isn't a fight in this chapter and that it's not very long but I am going to try and do better in future chapters. I am not sure when I will be posting again but I am hoping to post sometime before Christmas.
