xxTsumi-Chanxx: Hello!!!!!!! Well welcome to my first attempt at a Naruto fic, I'm kinda scared I might put shame to such an amazing series, so let's hope not anyways this takes place when Sasuke has returned from Orochimaru 5 years later. So if that's the case, and it is mind you, then Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura would be around 17 and 18. Ok glad we settled that anyways I don't expect a lot of reviews for this but I hope you people don't flame me because please keep in mind, I'm trying my best ! There might be a few spoilers I'm sorry for that but they'll have to come into play if the story is going to work. I hope I don't disappoint anyone, ok well enjoy the show!

Sasuke: umm...you do realize this isn't a show, it's a fanfic

xxTsumi-Chanxx: oh you just be quiet you

Sasuke: how about n-rest of sentence gets muffled because Sasuke's mouth has just been taped shut

Who You Thought I Was

Chapter One: Returning

A man stood silently atop a hill overlooking the town of Konoha. It had been five years since he last was here, for this man was none other that Uchiha Sasuke (AN: wow who would have thought it was him rolls eyes).

As he was about to take a step closer to the village, a familiar voice caught his attention. "So your finally back Sasuke-bastard" came the voice of the villages number one hyperactive ninja. A small smile crossed Sasuke's lips before he turned around to face Naruto, "It would appear so, dobe." "I AM NOT A DOBE YOU BASTARD!" screamed Naruto.

Sasuke silently chuckled to himself; it had been a long time since he had had this familiar argument. Sasuke looked at Naruto, he hadn't changed that much over the years, he had grown taller and his hair had grown longer making him look even more like the fourth but he still wore that same ridiculous orange jumpsuit and that foxy grin.

Naruto face suddenly turned serious, "So Sasuke bastard, why have you so suddenly appeared, things didn't go as planned with the great and powerful Orochimaru?" Naruto's voice was filled with sarcasm and disgust at the last statement. Sasuke was a little surprised to here the sudden voice changed but his face darkened at the thought of Orochimaru. "He was just using me for his own selfish gain, he just wanted my body, so I managed to escape before he could have it." Naruto rolled his eyes, "Gee you think, even I knew he was just using you when you left you baka (idiot).

"Hn" was all that came from Sasuke. "Did you manage your oh so important revenge?" Naruto asked. Sasuke's face darkened even more. "I haven't seen or heard from that man in four years." "Oh so you did meet him on your little vacation" "Aa, but I was still not strong enough to defeat him" Sasuke's eyes were filled with anger at the very thought of the battle.

/Flashback - Four Years Ago/

"Itachi! I will kill you!" screamed an enraged Sasuke as he powered up his chidori. Sasuke had been training in a forest when he felt the familiar charka of his brother nearby.

"Foolish little brother, you cannot defeat me with such a pathetic attack" Itachi said with a rather bored voice.

Sasuke screamed in anger and charged at Itachi with his sharingan eyes blazing, but Itachi just stepped aside allowing Sasuke to drive his attack into the tree behind him.

"Pathetic" was all Itachi said

Sasuke activated the cursed seal and death glared the older Uchiha.

Itachi's eyebrow rose slightly at the cursed marking covering Sasuke's body. "Your weaker than I thought if you would go to that pathetic serpent for power.

"I will kill you Itachi; I swear it on our parent's grave!" Sasuke said in a venomous tone as he powered up another chidori.

"I guess you will just never learn, this is a waste of my time little brother, I have more important matters at hand than dealing with a weak power hungry shinobi like yourself."

Itachi quickly disappeared into the trees leaving Sasuke to shout after him.

"Come back and fight me!!! COWARD!" Sasuke screamed but his efforts were in vain for Itachi was long gone.

"Dammit!" Sasuke said punching a tree. "I will kill him!"

/End of Flashback/

That day disgusted him, he had not been able to hit to even land a single hit or scratch on his brother, how was Itachi so strong? That question still puzzled Sasuke after all these years. Sasuke was shaken from his thoughts by the sound of Naruto's voice.

"Ne ne, Sasuke bastard what's wrong with you?" Sasuke turned away, "Nothing dobe." "I AM NOT A DOBE!" screamed an enraged Naruto. "I may have been five years ago but definitely not now!" Naruto voice was filled with pride at his last statement.

"Oh? How so?" Sasuke questioned Naruto. "Well your looking at an ANBU officer right now who is line for a promotion for ANBU captain! " Naruto said while thumping his chest.

Sasuke had a look of extreme surprise, something that didn't usually happen, but it was quickly reverted back to his calm and collected self. "How did a dobe like you get to be ANBU?"

"For the last time Sasuke bastard, I AM NOT A DOBE, and I got to be ANBU by training, baka!" "Hn" was Sasuke's reply.

"So how is everyone?" Sasuke asked casually.

Naruto grinned, "Great, Kaka-sensei hasn't had a team since team seven and is now helping perverted-sennin to write those books of his, almost everyone has made it to jounin level except, Ino, Hinata and Chouji, but there taking the exam soon, Neji and Lee are in ANBU with me, Ino gave up on you and is now with Shikamaru, Neji and TenTen are dating, Tsunade and the perverted hermit are engaged and that's pretty much it."

Sasuke was surprised to hear that almost everyone made it to jounin, and he noticed that a former teammate of his was not on the list for people that didn't make jounin, nor was she even mentioned once in Naruto's speech.

"Hey, Naruto, what happened to Sakura?" Sasuke sounded like he wasn't interested, but on the inside he was a little confused about why Naruto didn't mention her, she was after all a former teammate of both of them.

The expression on Naruto's face at the mention of Sakura's name surprised Sasuke because sadness wasn't one of the emotions Naruto was famous (infamous?) for. Naruto turned away from Sasuke before speaking "She........oh shit I'm late, sorry Sasuke bastard but I have a date with Hinata-chan, you should go see the old hag and tell her your back, ja!" Naruto said while zooming off in the direction of the Hyuuga estate.

'Why would Naruto's expression turn to one of sorrow at the mention of Sakura? I wonder what happened to her' Sasuke's thoughts continued on like this until he realized he should probably take Naruto's advice and see Tsunade. 'Baka, why are you even thinking of her, she was just another annoying girl after all' With that thought he headed towards the Hokage Tower.
