Theme: Forest
It was in the forest where they met again. It was entirely by accident, but he was forever grateful to see his face again, despite the blood covering nearly every inch of his person.
He had been walking along a dirt path through the trees when he had heard a peculiar noise from within the forest and had decided to investigate. And he was glad that he did, for there--laying in tattered, bloody clothes--was Sasuke.
Naruto approached slowly, eyes watching the Uchiha carefully. Sasuke looked back with his usual stoic expression.
Nothing moved. Nothing seemed to be breathing. The forest was at a standstill.
That's when he spoke.
"He's dead."
The forest came alive again as Naruto rushed at him, wrapping his arms around him, ignoring the blood that was apparently not Sasuke's, and clung to the tattered shirt.
"I don't care. You're back. That's all that matters."
It was in the forest where they reunited and departed together.
