Chapter 1
The story takes place 3 years after Naruto becomes a chuunin. We will leave the details for someone else.
After their collaboration to rescue Sasuke... Naruto, Shikamaru, Neji, Kiba, and Choji have been best friends since. As for Sasuke? This is his story...
I never felt like I belonged anywhere. My one goal threw me off on what was important in life. Itachi still wanders... alive. I still have myself for not being able to kill him. That is no longer important to me right now. Right now, I need to be accepted and I need a purpose.
"Hey Sasuke!" I hear an annoying voice call from behind me.
"What is it?" I still cannot believe this loudmouth shrimp is better than me, though I will never admit to him that I acknowledge his strength.
"Me and the guys are going to get something to eat," he sneered. He's just shoving it in my face about how much more popular he was since Gaara's defeat. "Want to come?"
I couldn't believe what the mosquito was saying. More like, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Naruto was inviting me to his little group of friends. He had been avoiding me since they got me back from Ochimaru's grasp. In fact, everyone's been avoiding me since then. I was so naïve to think that Ochimaru could give me the power to defeat my brother- the same person that Ochimaru himself fears.
My mind wandered for a bit as I thought of what happened before. I still couldn't believe how naïve I was. The thoughts put me in a trance. The images of my past danced and mocked me in my head, from when Itachi killed my parents, to when I agreed to work for Ochimaru. The thing that broke my trance was an annoying buzzing noise.
"Yo! Sasuke!" Oh, It was Naruto again... That bug. "So are you coming or not?"
I really didn't know what to say. My reputation was already dead. I couldn't be any lower than I already was so I agreed to go.
"Uhm, fine," I shrugged. I followed him to his favorite ramen shop. That place held so many memories. It felt as if Kakashi-sensei was still there, treating us to some ramen.
As I walked in, I saw a familiar character. It was Kakashi-sensei. When he saw me, he looked very surprised and disappointed at the same time. He had not seen me since my so-called "Rescue" Hmph, some entrance. The whole shop silenced when I walked in. I had not been very public for a while. I was wrong about my dead reputation... It just rotted. It wasn't too awkward for me when people glared at me as I took my seat; I was always being looked down upon, but there was something strange about Naruto's invitation.
Choji greeted me as if I had food. Shikamaru merely nodded at me. Neji shrugged me off as I did the same to him. Kiba seemed as if he did not even notice me, even though I knew he did. His nose was sharper than a normal shinobi's eyes. To see so many people from my past here was tormenting, but strange at the same time. Then, Naruto turned to me and gave his awkward smile.
"Sasuke," He said to me. What the hell was going on here? Why is everyone looking at me? Even Kiba turned around now to hear what Naruto was saying. Neji's eyes were fixed on me-which was creepy. Naruto paused and looked at me for a long time.
I couldn't take the silence anymore.
"What do you want from me?" I said to his face. "Why did you bring me here?"
Naruto rubbed the back of his neck and replied, "We need you back. We need you to work with us once more. What do you say?"
((Okay, so I dont have all the facts down, but I'm working on it. If you see any errors on the facts, just comment or IM me about it. I also need work on my english... eheheheh.
-Sweatdrop- Thanks, I'll be back with more soon. ^.~))
