Don't make money out of this, I own a Naruto action figure. That's all.

Naruto looked at Sasuke. Sasuke looked back. Naruto smiled and nodded in greeting. The raven swallowed. This was Naruto? The loudmouthed dobe who was always grinning? This was the one who was broken hearted because of him? The one who loved him almost all his life?
Shikamaru signed for Naruto's team to come over. Hanani and Mizu looked worried to the number of enemies. This meant Yasuo had three enemies for his own. But there was the Uchiha. He could be a problem.
"Listen up." Shikamaru said, blowing some smoke from his cigarette in the air. "Hokage-sama and Anbu guy wanted to spice some things up. So there will be a change of things and rules."
The group started whispering, except for Ice Prince Uchiha and the Demon Assassin of course. Shikamaru waited till the whispers went down. "Instead of first having both teams fight against each other we will skip too the one on one fights."
"What!"
"Why!"
"This is unfair!"
"What the hell are they thinking!"
Shikamaru frowned. Yasuo let out a small chuckle. Sasuke fell silent. (Not that he was talking or anything...) Shikamaru sighed and took another pull from his cigarette. "Do you want to know the truth?" he asked, silencing the group, so that they could hear him. The group nodded.
"Because no one gives a fuck about your fights." The boring tone that Shikamaru used, almost made Naruto laugh. The faces on the poor ninja's..."they only want to see the fight between Uchiha and Yasuo-kun."
Sasuke looked up to Yasuo, who was looked like he was stuck between apologizing and laughing. Sasuke unconsiouncly smiled at the silly face. Then he frowned at what kind of face possible was behind that mask.
Shikamaru placed his fingers in his ears and growled at the shouts directed at him. "If you want to complain then go to the Hokage or something. I'm only giving the message."
At this point Naruto felt sorry for Shikamaru and grabbed Mizu and Hanani, who were also shouting. "Will you please be quit?"
Hanani and Mizu swallowed loudly and immediately closed their mouth. Yasuo smiled as thanks. Then he stood in front of Shikamaru. He glared.
Shikamaru just blew another puff of smoke in the air, smiling at the gasps. Sasuke crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Will you please shut the fuck up? Mister is trying to tell you something." Yasuo said.
"Thanks, Yasuo-kun."
"No problem."
"Anyway, you will be set up in pairs and fight. I see eight people so four fights. Any on complains?"
The group shook their heads. Looking warily at Yasuo. Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"You and you, stay. The rest of you guys can wait in a room with a view of the arena. Just go trough that door and walk up the steps."
Shikamaru pointed at two random ninja's who staid behind while the rest of the group walked to the exit.

The fights had been...
Well, how do I say this in a very nice way...?
Boring.
Okay, Naruto had been looking at the fights of Hanani and Mizu, cheering them on. Hanani had a great potential, but she was a bad leader, but an excellent follower and worked best in a group. Mizu was, on the other side, a real loner. He didn't like to give or take orders. (Except from Yasuo, how could he refuse?) Mizu had lost his fight and Hanani had tied.
But that isn't very interesting is it? No. So let's go back to Sasuke and Yasuo. Together in a room. Alone. Now that's fun.
Sasuke swallowed and looked from the corner of his eyes to Yasuo who was staring at him. Sasuke immediately looked forward again. Yasuo had been staring since they were alone. The last battle was going on and Sasuke couldn't suppress the shudder that he felt as soon as Yasuo's eyes landed on him.
Sasuke was getting more and more nervous by the minute. Every time he tried to glare back, the emotions in Yasuo's eyes made him turn away again. This was ridiculous! This was Naruto! Yasuo! No...Wait...
Sasuke growled inwards and turned away from Yasuo, trying to focus on the fight in front of him. What the hell was he suppose to say? Hey Yasuo, I know your Naruto. Stop this act and come back okay? Good. Want to eat some ramen?
Yeah, sure. Like that was going to happen. Hell would freeze over first. And even if Sasuke would tell Naruto that he found out the truth...Naruto was going to leave again. So there was no point in confusing Naruto or let him leave with a bigger crack in his heart. Naruto didn't deserve that. He hadn't deserved all the pain.
Sasuke glanced side wards again. He looked a little bit surprised when Yasuo looked at the fight. His face set in a sad frown. Sasuke was taken back and almost wanted to ask what was wrong. But the raven stopped himself and sighed. Naruto was going to leave.
Why was he even here in the first place? He came, he confused Sasuke with all this love-crap, he would participate in the jouninexams, and he was would go back to his bambi friends in the forest. Why the hell did he even participate in the exams? He was a ninja without town, without destination. Destroying an evil organisation, or a whole country and kill a crazy brother here and there.
Okay, Sasuke could understand that Naruto would go back to check up on his friends and stuff like that. Confuse Sasuke, molest him. But why even bother to participate to something troublesome as the jouninexams? Sasuke looked puzzled at Yasuo who was getting back at staring at him again.
"What?" Yasuo asked friendly, giving a sad smile. "Something wrong?"
"Why...why are you taking these stupid exams? What is there in it for you?"
Yasuo blinked at the question, obviously taken back by Sasuke's words. "Sasuke,...I..." he answered hesitantly, walking away from the wall he had been leaning against, toward Sasuke.
"Actually, I have something to do. I have to do something." Yasuo said, more looking like he tried to convince himself. "I...my life...has been a lie. Or rather...my death."
Sasuke looked puzzled. "What...? I don't understand. ...What are you trying to say?"
"Sasuke, please understand. I didn't came here for that. You are my reason for coming here. You are my reason for taking these stupid exams...Sasuke, I lo-"
"Uchiha, Ryu! Please enter the arena!" Shikamaru shouted. Sasuke and Yasuo hadn't noticed the last match had already ended.
Sasuke ignored Shikamaru and kept looking at Yasuo, who opened his mouth, but shook his head and closed his mouth. "Let us focus on the fight first, okay. Sasuke?"
Before Sasuke could answer, Yasuo had already jumped down, landing nicely on the ground. Sasuke followed after, still confused.
"Sasuke, I won't hold back just because I know you." Yasuo said, smirking. His blue eye first turned purple before it turned completely red.
Sasuke looked taken back for a second. Then he closed his eyes. When he opened them, he revealed the red sharingan. "Trust me, you can go all the way."
The public was going wild, but the noise didn't seem to reach Sasuke and Yasuo. They only saw each other and only focused on each other. For them there was only the sound of their own heart and the sounds of breathing. Silence disappeared when the fight started.
Yasuo disappeared in the blink of an eye. Sasuke swayed his left leg backwards, aiming to hit Yasuo in the stomach, who catched it with the palm of his hand. Sasuke twisted his whole body, using the motion to swing his other leg, aiming for Yasuo's face.
Yasuo was forced to let go of Sasuke's leg and jumped backwards. Sasuke performed a lien of hand seals. Then he blew as hard as he could. When the flames hit Yasuo, he disappeared with a poof.
Sasuke didn't even take the time to growl at the clone he had destroyed. He grabbed a kunai from his weapon pouch. He stood ready checking around for any signs of the demon assassin.
A small gust of wind in his right corner made his arm almost move in a reflex and the kunai hit the wind. Yasuo appeared from the wind, running towards Sasuke with a kunai in his hand.
Sasuke threw some shurikan while grabbing another kunai, just in time to block Yasuo's kunai. Both started to throw kicks and punches at each other, hoping to find a moment to strike.
Suddenly Sasuke was flying through the air, after receiving a kick from Yasuo. Sasuke growled and landed on his feet, sliding a meter or so over the ground, before stopping.
Sasuke cursed. He stood up and performed another line of hand seals, surprising Yasuo, who recognized them. Sasuke focused the chakra to his right hand; he could already hear the chakra crackle. Sasuke looked at his hand, the chakra was pointing in every direction, slowly chirping. Sasuke smiled. When he looked up though, his smile fell.
Yasuo stood there, a rasengan ready his hand. He didn't smile. The sad expression actually made Sasuke almost lose his concentration. It was like they were back in the valley of the end. Where it all had started. Sasuke didn't had the time to think though when Yasuo rushed towards him.
Sasuke started to run too, but his mind was somewhere else. His vision started to blur. He didn't see the demon assassin in front of him. But Naruto. His eyes dead. His face looking something between disappointment and anger. That was the true face behind Naruto's mask.
Sasuke first didn't feel the pain. He hadn't even realised that Yasuo actually had came form behind. It was like everything went in slow motion. Sasuke felled the rasengan bore into his back, then a soft wind, probably when he flew trough the air. The impact on the ground hurt him the most though. All the air form his lung was gone and he was taking short sharp breaths.
But it didn't matter. Sasuke knew he had lost. His whole body felt numb, and pain was shooting trough his body like it was being consumed by fire. Sasuke looked up when he saw that someone was bending over him.
Then the person stood up again, pointing his arm into the air. "Ryu Yasuo wins this fight!"
Sasuke couldn't hear it clearly. Shikamaru's words had sounded like a soft murmur. The explosion of sounds from the public just seemed as a dull heavy sound. It was like Sasuke heard it all from far away. Sasuke calmed himself, knowing that if he kept on breathing like this, he would lose consciousness. He took a deep breath, hissing at the pain that went trough his body. Sasuke coughed at the dust he was breathing in and wished he had landed on his back.
"Sasuke."
Sasuke moaned to the sound, letting the person know he was listening. "I'm going to put you against the wall and heal you okay?"
The medic ninja grabbed him softly and picked him up from the ground. Sasuke could only see a blur of blond and blue very close to him, then everything went black.
