Magical Fox: Thank you all so much for the WONDERFUL reviews! You know, a
good compliment and some encouraging words can do a writer WONDERS. I
appreciate that people like my fanfic, I'm really thankful and grateful to
have such kind reviewers ... review my story ((sorry for the bad pun.)) I
know that this story is going slow, but it'll be worse if it goes fast. Not
much has happened, but I want you to feel the suspense of the story that
Naruto is also feeling, the waiting and how scared he is of this mission. I
try to write more, explaining all the little details of everything to the
readers. And right now, I'm not entirely sure of the pairings. It'll be
sasu/naru at first, then naru/gaara. I'm sorry for those sasu/naru lovers.
But you see, I now have this.. very very passionate hatred for Sasuke and especially after he HURT Naruto and betrayed his village. :[ I agree that Sasuke is an arse with a stick up with arse. XD But I don't think Itachi should kill him. You should read chapter 223 of the manga, it explains everthing.. or such.
Let's get the chapter started then!
Disclaimer: WAIT FOR ME! Naruto does not belong to us, but by Misashi Kishimoto and what about 'the favor'?!
MG: OH YEA! I forgot.. I have a favor to ask of you all!!! Go to toriyamaworld and check out 666 Satan! It's by Misashi Kishimoto's bro! You can see how the art styles are pretty much similar.
Summary for 666 Satan: Jio is a young boy with a dream to rule the world. He's kind of like Naruto because he has this split personality, he has 'Satan' inside him. Along with a young girl named Ruby, who follows after her Father's dream of becoming the best Item hunter. Together they search fot the missing O-parts!
----
I was scared. I was so scared. The dream, there was a possibilty that it could happen. And if it really happened... would I be able to take it? This mission.. I regret taking it. There's a small part of me regreting I ever met Sasuke—No. I can't say that. Without Sasuke, I wouldn't have a friend. Sasuke offered his life to save me in the mist-village. I'm grateful for a friend like Kakashi, Sakura.. and Sasuke. Sasuke will always be my friend, despite all the sins he caused.
I don't have a reason to hate Itachi though, because I don't really know the whole story about their past. And I don't want to assume anyone. I learned the hard way that assumption leads to nothing.
It didn't happen. That would never happen. Sasuke wouldn't die like that, not that fast. He wouldn't die at such a young age, no one deserved to die so young. My whole body was shaking, I felt cold. Cold like I had just be frozen, but at the same time, I was sweating. I saw everyone beside me and I was glad they cared, but I wouldn't stop shaking. The fear, it was all here. That was one of the things I feared, and I didn't want to know the others.
My breathing was fast and hard, just like my pounding heart. I felt it beating swiftly, and I tried to breath slower to stop shaking and slow it down. It was so hard to breath. My lungs felt as if it was filled with fear, it was. My whole body was. I saw it so clearly-- the blood, the body. The tears.
"Tell me it wasn't true... "I mumbled over again, I couldn't say anything else. I could see the worried looks on their faces, all staring at me. Even Gaara, who was emotionless on the outside, showed a face of worry.
The dream replayed itself over and over again in my mind, even though I tried not to think about it. I shut my eyes tightly as if to drive the thoughts away. But the more I tried, the more I thought on it. It did the one thing that came to my mind.
Grabbing my emergency kunai, I cut my arm, not deeply, but deep enough for a bit of blood to come out and for pain to spread through my body. My hand that was holding the kunai let go of the weapon. My body felt numb with pain, and so did my mind—driving the thoughts away. Everyone was startled as I did so and moved to stop me but Gaara stopped them from doing so.
He understood my pain.
I sat up straight, leaning against the tree bark. The hard bark against my soft flesh of my back. It bled for only about 1 minute, not a lot of blood, and then stopped.
"Naruto.. what dream did you have." I heard Temari ask. God, did she have to ask that? The thoughts flooded back again. I tried my best, I didn't want them to worry about me and think I was weak, so I grinned sheepishly. "T-the ramen.. it was gone! I mean.. the whole UNIVERSE'S ramen was GONE!" I put on a grim face. All of them sighed, thinking 'I worry about him and this is what I get..' and went back to their own branches on their own trees. But Gaara stayed. He stared at me.
I could tell he didn't believe a word I said, he knew that it was worse. But he didn't ask- thankfully. He just stared at me and then just swiftly jumped back on his own branch to sleep for the rest of the night.
I couldn't though. I didn't dare sleep. I don't want to know what would happen if I slept. More fears-- they'll come to me. They'll come after me, haunting me. But instead, I stayed up the whole night, thinking. I shouldn't burden others with my pain, I should smile and encourage them on.
----
"He is a hard sleeper! I mean, being lazy is cool and all, but I'm supposed to be the lazy one!"
"How would you know? He might have not gotten any sleep the whole night!"
"When he's sleeping like that?!" Shikamaru whispered angrily back at Temari. The four were surrounding Naruto, on the branches surounding his. Gaara and Kankuro kept silent, just staring.
"Stupid kid.." Kankuro muttered.
The four, or three since Gaara didn't really do anything, spent one whole hour trying to get Naruto to wake up. But all they got where murmurs of "Ramen... come... good...".
"Is he talking to the ramen?! Telling it to come to him!?" Temari muttered in dismay.
"You know that reminds me of a dog. This is tiring, can I go back to sleep?" Shikamaru said, his hands on the back of his head.
"NO!" Temari hollored at him, furious that there were such lazy people on the earth.
Temari got an idea, around the 5th one this hour, and jumped onto Naruto's branch, leaning down so she could whisper in his ear.
The others just stared at her, Shikamaru raising an eyebrow.
"The ramen.. sweet ramen... is getting away... it's calling for you... it'll never be here again.. it's gone!" Temari whispered to him, after a feel groans of sadness, Naruto woke screaming.
"RAMEN!" He screamed, then looked around him.
"'Morning!" He smiled.
They all were lost for words, except for Shikamaru.
"What do you mean, 'morning' you dope!? You're dead last to wake! It's already afternoon!" He muttered.
Dope.. dead last.. that was what Sasuke used to call him. Naruto just paused, then grinnned and scratched the back of his head, the habit he had since he was little.
"Sorry.." he apologized, only earning 3 sighs. Gaara just kept silent.
--
Now he had wished he never got up. They were traveling the same way again, but Shikamaru had increased their speed because he refused to wake up—losing precious time. They needed to be by the outskirts of the Sandvillage by today, according to Shikamaru.
Naruto was hungry, tired, and most of all- ... hungry. "Oi! Shikamaru.." He gritted his teeth, trying to not be grumpy like he really was, since he was starving. "We ALL haven't ate since yesterday morning you idiot. Did you forgot we need food to survive?" Naruto complained. The others weren't complaining, which in Naurto's opinion= they were growing senile. Not that Naruto really knew what the word senile ment, he guessed that it ment cracked.
"We'll take care of that. Rabbits are in the forest, and we'll set up camp again at the side of the forest, basically, the outskirts of the sand village." He replied lazily. "But not like you'll understand.." Naruto barely heard him mutter under his breath.
"HEY!" Was all Naruto said.
But the sand village.. that was where Gaara came from. Naruto's eyes drifted over to Gaara. He hated that place, why would he want to come along? It didn't make any sense what so ever to Naruto, but he just shrugged the question away.
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Are you not sure?"
"No."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Are you not serious?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"Yes. W-wait! That's cheating!!!" Shikamaru shouted at Naruto who had been bugging him for the past twenty minutes.
"You lie." Naruto just explained, sticking his tongue out. "I don't see why YOU should be leader! I want to be leader! You're not even smart enough to answer a question!"
"Can you read a map, Naruto?" Shikamaru asked simply.
"No, why?"
Silence. The three sand shinobis where obviously getting annoyed by this.
"I'm hungry."
"You sound like Chouji."
"You wouldn't starve your friend!" Naruto protested.
The sun was beginning to set, and they weren't there yet. Naruto looked at Gaara only to see his eyes dart quickly to the side and then halted, the other four stopping along with him. His eyes seemed to quickly widen and then three small sand-snakes, something he praticed making, slithered underneath them to the side bushes and after a short while, came back with 3 rabbits.
"A rabbit family.. well, we'll have something to cook now." Shikamaru smiled. Gaara jumped down on the ground and retrieved the rabbits, holding them by their ears, and looked up before jumping back on the branch. The snakes just dissolved into the sand they were made from.
"Good job." Temari smiled. Gaara didn't reply. They set out again.
Naruto's legs were about to give out, he looked over to Gaara. Funny... he seemed to look at Gaara more and more these days. It was probably because Gaara understood his pain and they were very much alike. He thought for a long time.
That was, until a Kunai was shot at Naruto's leg but missed by a few centimeters. The five stopped immediately, putting on maximum guard.
----Another area---
"I heard Orochimaru got a container and that it's a boy from the Uchiha clan!"
"Which one?"
"Youngest."
Quiet voices whispered to each other.
"Really?"
"When I saw him, it was just a glance, but I could tell he was powerful! He had this aura of hatred around him, but you know. I could tell. The hatred wasn't from the bottom of his heart."
"How do you know?"
"You know I have the special ability to tell a person's aura!"
"A bloodline?"
The two voices where stopped, the two men having their head cut off. The figure that killed them stood over their bodies.
"We need not gossipers." The shadow whispered. The sun shined directly on her at that moment, revealing a young girl with a black scar running down her left eye and a black star under her left.
"But I have to do my job.."

Magical fox: It's a bit longer, I was so happy by the reviews that I decided to make it around 6-7 pages in microsoft. And also because I didn't dare end it early – because nothing REALLY important happened in the first three chapters. But this is more or less like a cliffie!
But you see, I now have this.. very very passionate hatred for Sasuke and especially after he HURT Naruto and betrayed his village. :[ I agree that Sasuke is an arse with a stick up with arse.
