-chapter 21-

It's been months since I last updated, so I apologize for the long wait. Also, for those who don't know, today 12/27 is Hinata's birthday! I originally intended this chapter be about the Sound 4's fight scenes, but I doubt that anyone wants to reread that considering the fight scenes are indeed canon. So I'll skip over all that and write the clash between Naruto and Sasuke instead.

When Kimimaro appeared and took possession of Sasuke's barrel, Naruto suddenly appeared and thrusted his Rasengan at Kimimaro's chest, blowing him away. Naruto learned about the Sasuke Retrieval Mission because Tsunade had sent him a scroll. He then bid farewell to Shikamaru as he chased after Kimimaro…

Sasuke arrived at The Valley Of The End, a place where the First Hokage and Uchiha Madera fought long ago. Naruto soon arrived at the valley. Naruto stood on the First Hokage's head, while Sasuke stood on his ancestors' head.

"Why did you abandon our village?" Naruto asked Sasuke in a forceful tone.

"I seek power, and Orochimaru is the one to give me that power!"

"But he's going to possess your body!"

"So what? As long as I achieve my goal of killing Itachi, I don't care what happens to this body!"

"That's nonsense! If I can't persuade you to come back, I'll break every bone in your body and drag you back to Konoha!"

"How will you do that? I doubt you can…"

"Like this! Chaos Control!" Naruto suddenly appeared facing the back of Sasuke, and proceeded to have a one-sided taijutsu match with Sasuke, before he ended the combo with a Chaos Blast before Sasuke could counter.

"Chaos Control! Chaos Spear!" Naruto flashed by Sasuke, and launched a projectile at near point blank range which Sasuke barely dodged. Afterwards, Naruto blurred out of sight, and Sasuke found that he could not keep up with the blonds speed though the blond wasn't even approaching his speed limit. Naruto made a swift combo, before ending it in an Uzumaki Naruto Rendan, instead of a Chaos Blast. Sasuke was knocked back to a body of water's surface.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" Sasuke performed a total of 6 hand signs, inhaling and spitting out a large fireball directly at Naruto.

Naruto quicklyused Chaos Control to flash right in front of Sasuke. Before Sasuke could react, Naruto dropped down low and spun kicked Sasuke, then he performed a drilling kick before he ended it with a Chaos Spear to Sasuke's face.

After Sasuke recovered, he glared at Naruto. He refused to believe that the dead-last dobe was as strong, if not stronger than him. His anger flared up as his level 2 Sharingan evolved to level 3.

Sasuke sprinted toward the blond, and found that he could easily keep up with the dobe. Naruto tapped into Kyubi's Chaos pool of energy, boosting Naruto's Chaos energy. Sasuke did not expect Naruto's blows to suddenly get much stronger and swifter. Sasuke's curse seal enveloped him, and he suddenly became stronger and faster, but not as fast or as strong as Naruto.

In response, Naruto used Chaos Controlto flash towards Sasuke, but Sasuke, now driven mad with power, stabbed Naruto with a Chidori, barely missing Naruto's heart. Naruto vanished, and Naruto drove a Rasengan at Sasuke's gut, but he evaded. Naruto tapped into so much of Kyubi's Chaos pool of Chaos Energy in his fists that he could now shadowbox. Naruto punched out a Chaos Spear, which to the surprise of both Naruto and Sasuke, hit Sasuke..

'Good. My shadowboxing still works.' Thought Naruto.

'How is the dobe able to hit me from that distance? And how has he grown stronger than me? I never see him train…'

Naruto repeated his shadowboxing. One of the blows was hard enough that Sasuke now hovered in the air. Naruto jumped into the air and continued to shadowbox, ending with a kick that slammed him into a cliff face. Naruto continued, but somehow Sasuke learned to evade his blows.

"Alright fine! I am no longer going to hold back. You think that I am fast? I never showed my speed limit to anyone in a fight, so I am going to show you now!" Naruto blurred away simply by running.

'So fast…' Thought Sasuke as he surrendered himself to the second stage of his curse seal.

Sasuke's skin tone darkened and a black mark appeared on the face of Sasuke. Suddenly, two large hand shaped wings sprouted from his back. Naruto could sense his chakra amount, and then removed his Inhibiter Rings while silently chanting and ascending to his Super Form. Sasuke prepared his jutsu, but the Chidori he made emmited with dark lightning and the sound of 1000 flapping birds. Meanwhile, Naruto channeled some of his Chaos Powers into his Rasengan.

"Habataku Chidori!"

"Chaos Rasengan!"

The two shinobi yelled as their Jutsu clashed with the Uchiha barely achieving victory, though Naruto was holding back. Naruto devolved as his exhaustion finally hit him. Sasuke stood over Naruto, holding his own forehead protector before he brought out a kunai and slashed, leaving a slightly slanted horizontal scratch mark on it, signifying his new status as a rogue ninja. Sasuke dropped his headband as he walked away fromN aruto. He intended to be trained by Orochimaru and gain enough strength to kill his clan's murderer…

-Sometime earlier-

Kakashi accomplished his mission and was finished. He gave the report to Tsunade. He asked where his team was.

"WHAT? You sent a Chunin and a few Genin to retrieve Sasuke?"

"Please understand. Shikamaru was the only one available to receive this mission. If you or any other Jonin were available, I would have sent them. Now I am assigning you a mission."

"I refuse the mission." Kakashi said stubbornly.

"This mission is to assist in the retrieval of Sasuke." Smirked Tsunade.

"OH? I accept this mission."

"Please accomplish this mission as quickly as possible."

"Hai." Kakashi replied as he accepted the scroll.

The first thing that Kakashi did as he exited the gates of Konoha was to summon a ninken.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu." A ninken appeared and greeted Kakashi. Kakashi presented a piece of Naruto and Sasuke's outfit, and told Pakkun to sniff out Naruto.

"Did you get the scents?" Asked Kakashi.

"Yes I have their scents. Follow me Kakashi. They both are approximately 2 hours away."

"So they are far…I wonder if Naruto has succeeded in the mission."

Kakashi finally arrived at the Valley of the End and quickly scanned the battle field as well as Pakkun. Pakkun immediately notices something, and calls for Kakashi, who had also noticed what his summon had noticed.

"Over there Kakashi."

Kakashi immediately went towards his target. He sees Naruto, who is surrounded by a fading red and gold aura. He also notices Naruto's inhibiter rings, which he quickly put them on Naruto. Finally, he notices a scratched up headband on top of Naruto.

'I'm sorry for not getting here in time Naruto.' Thought Kakashi, before deciding to carry the exhausted Naruto back to Konoha. Midway through Kakashi's journey, Naruto woke up but remaimed silent. 'I wonder…what happened to everyone else in this mission?'

Unknown to Naruto, all of the Sasuke Retrieval slowly returned to Konoha. Choji ate the third pill, which exhausted his chakra reserves along with making him very skinny. Neji was in critical condition with a hole almost through his lung. Kiba was tired, but he wasn't as wounded as much as his ninken was. Kiba and his ninken were escorted by the sand ninja, Kankuro. Nara Shikamaru suffered only a broken finger. He was accompanied by Temari. Gaara suddenly appeared, accompanied by Rock Lee. Just as the group departed, a wounded Naruto, escorted by Kakashi, appeared. Hinata, who was unseen, quickly ran forward and embraced Naruto in a hug. Finally noticing his wounds, Hinata and Kakashi began to escort him to the hospital, quickly catching up with Tsunade.

"Ah Naruto, you're back." Tsunade said before glancing at the blond and noticing his injuries.

"WE MUST TRAVEL QUICKLY TO THE HOSPITAL!" The medical staff looked back and saw the blond, before they started to move faster.

A week later, everybody in the Sasuke Retrieval Group was feeling much better. 'My birthday is coming up soon…' Thought Hinata, wondering if any one besides Hanabi and Neji would remember her day. She was hoping that Naruto would remember her birthday. Sadly, no one has told him.

It was finally her birthday, and as expected, Hanabi and Neji, along with Hiashi, were sitting at the dinner table. However, just as Hinata was taking her seat, a Hyuga guard knocked at the door, announcing that someone remembered her birthday, and that person was at the door

Wondering who was at the door, Hinata opened the front door, only to be mildly surprised, for at the door was her love interest, or so everyone believed. Not only that, Naruto wore a suit and tie, hiding his weapons under his clothes. Naruto was invited to the dinner table.

After a delicious meal, cooked by Hinata though the blonde didn't know, Hinata finally received her gifts. She received what she expected from her family, so only the blonde was left. To her surprise, she received a lavender friendship bracelet, which made sense, considering that they were hiding their relationship. The bracelet matched her eye color, and she loved it.

Naruto was in his bedroom at his apartment, and was greeted by Uzumaki-san. At the window, Jiraiya appeared.

"Pack your bags for a three year training trip. We'll leave at the stroke of dawn."
