Chapter 4-Escape!!
"Gomen otouto, the Kyuubi is mine." He smirked, swinging the knife with one finger, "Oh and you have served your purpose. I have no need of you now." And directed the kunai to Sasuke, who froze at what his brother was going to do.
Something moved in front of him. Naruto caught the kunai and grinned at the Uchiha boy's surprised face.
"Heh, I'm not that stupid you know." The blond smirked and slashed at the Naruto that was mesmerized in the Sharingan. It disappeared with a loud poof.
"Nani??" Itachi gasped, taken aback.
"It's my signature move!! Kage Bushin No Jutsu!!" Naruto grinned, "You didn't know?? Then you probably don't know my other attacks well, either!! They all kick ass!!"
'Baka...' Sasuke thought.
"You continue to amuse me, Kyuubi." Itachi smirked. Naruto gritted his teeth and held out his cupped hand. Focusing on the imaginary leaf, chakra began to gather in a spinning sphere.
'Nani?? What's that...??' the older Uchiha braced himself for this new attack.
"Baka you're going to kill us all!!" Sasuke screeched. The blond paid no attention to him. The sphere spun faster and faster as more power added to it. With a yell, Naruto threw it toward Itachi, who jumped out of the way just in time. The room exploded with such a force and bits of dust and splintered wood flew into a huge cloud of dust.
The people of the Hidden Sand Village looked up in bewilderment or rushed to the windows of their houses as some old abandoned tenement suddenly blew up on the second level. The building instantly started to collapse into a huge pile of dust and rubble. It was quite sudden as it had been an ordinary day. None of them panicked, though. The dust finally cleared a couple minutes later and there laid what used to be a standing house. The townsfolk sighed and shook their heads.
"Must be that baka doctor with his stupid dancing monkey experiments again." They muttered as they went back to their business.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, some maniac was dancing and jumping around in joy, babbling nonstop and chattering excitedly.
"I did it!! I did it!!" he hopped around in ecstasy, "I taught my monkeys how to tango!!"
Itachi coughed as the dust cleared, glancing around for any signs of his brother or the Kyuubi. Damn...the house was...no longer a house. Somehow the night sky was above him and the ceiling was on the ground, well, pieces of it.
"Sasuke?? Naruto-kun??" he called and spotted the bed that he had chained his otouto to. It was smashed to pieces. Pieces of metal were shattered and puffs from the mattress was ripped and thrown everywhere. The only thing missing was his brother's corpse, which should be what happened unless-
"Ah ha." Itachi smirked, eyeing a line of broken chains, "So they've escaped."
"Itai...gah...there's something in my eye!!! I'm blind!!"
"Quit moving you moron. Watch it, you're gonna-"
Too late, Naruto tripped over a rock that was wedged into the ground. He held out is hands as he fell, pushed off the ground, did a flip, then landed on his feet. The blond held up his arms to the sky and made a bow to an imaginary audience. Sasuke had to smile at that.
"Ne Kamite-san, you look cuter when you smile." Naruto told him.
"I-I do?" the dark-haired Genin blinked.
"Hai!!" the blond said cheerfully as they went on their way into the woods. It was pretty late now and the moon was very bright and the stars glittering lightly. "Ne...aren't you going to thank me?? After all I did save you from the evil Itachi!!"
"........." Sasuke said nothing. No way in hell would he ever admit that the blond had rescued him, no way, no way. Well, at least Sasuke wouldn't. This was Sora now. "A-arigatou."
"No problem!!" Naruto grinned, "It was a mission the old hag gave to me anyways!! Ah, whoops!! I don't think I should be making fun of your aunt with you here. Ehehehehehe..."
"No, by all means, go ahead, she's not going to hear you here." Sasuke muttered. "I don't mind. It's amusing to see someone so boldly make fun of the Honorable Fifth Hokage."
"Hehe!! I wonder if people will make fun of me when I become the sixth Hokage." Naruto wondered out loud. "Of course I would beat the shit out of them. Why doesn't Tsunade-baba do that to me?"
"........." they walked for a while in silence. Crickets lightly serenaded their walk back to the Hidden Leaf Village. It was very peaceful and surprisingly Naruto was quiet so that Sasuke enjoyed the long walk back home in peace.
Tsunade was waiting anxiously for them back at the Hokage tower. As soon as they stepped foot in, she flung her arms around them blabbering about how worried she'd been and why the hell didn't they come back earlier and something about her book.
"...and that's what happened." Naruto told the fifth hokage after telling her the story of Sasuke's capture and the rescue. Tsunade nodded.
"Really? Itachi in the Sand Village?? That's not good. I'll alert the Anbu at once." She told them. "And Sora. My book. Do you have my book?" Sasuke blinked.
"What book?" he asked blankly.
"My book. The one you snatched away from me when I neglected to tell you your mission when you came." She flapped her hand impatiently. "Where is it??"
"Hn?" he thought for a while. "Ohhh!! That book!!"
"YES." The fifth hokage muttered through clenched teeth in annoyance. "Now, where is my book??"
"Ano..." Sasuke thought again, "Lets see, I had it with me at the Hidden Sand village and I was reading it. The Itachi came and knocked me out. I don't remember having your book after I woke up, so I either left it in the village or it got burned to ashes when Naruto blew up the house."
"NANI?!?!?!?!?!" Tsunade shrieked. "MY BOOK!!!! MY PRECIOUS BOOK!!!! Gone...MY PRECIOUS BOOK IS GONE!!! HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A THING, SORA?!??!"
"HEY OLD HAG!!!" Naruto yelled, "Aren't you worried about your niece??? She was abducted by ITACHI!!!! Aren't you worrying if she was harmed or raped or anything????"
"Why would I be worried about her??" she huffed then wailed, "MY BOOK!!!!"
"Some aunt you are!!" the blond retorted, "And still I wonder why you were picked to be the fifth Hokage!! Whoever did obviously know how uncaring and-"
"You're mission is done." The hokage started pushing him out the door, "Now leave me alone to mourn over my lost book in peace!!! Sora!! Get him out of here!!"
"Hn." Sasuke sighed and then escorted a fuming Naruto down the tower.
"Mou!!! And she calls herself your aunt!!" Naruto hmphed, crossing his arms angrily.
'Yes.' The dark-haired Chuunin thought bitterly, 'She does call herself my aunt.'
"She's pining over a stupid book while you could've been hurt or anything!!" Naruto scowled. "What kind of family is she?? I feel sorry for you Kamite-san. Itachi didn't hurt you in anyway did he?" Sasuke shook his head. "Good." They reached the bottom of the tower.
"Ja." Sasuke muttered, already walking back up.
"Ja ne!!" Naruto returned. "Matte, Kamite-san!!" the dark-haired Chuunin stopped and then turned around to face the blond. "Do you want to go out for Ramen tomorrow?? My treat!!" Sasuke stared. Was...Naruto asking him out?
"Uh...sure, I guess." He replied, mind still numb from shock.
"YOSH!!!" the blond grinned, "See ya tomorrow at the Ramen Bar at 8!! Don't be late!!" and he left, running in excitement, leaving Sasuke stunned. Hold on, rewind and freeze. What the hell had just happened there?? Something about Naruto asking him and...and he agreed?!?!? That's just...wrong!! Perhaps this mission was starting to get to him.
He walked up back to Tsunade, to give her his report so far and to ask her about dating tips...whoa, whoa, whoa. There really was something wrong with him. Sasuke made a mental note to drive Chidori through her face as he pushed open the doors to the hokage's room.
Naruto was waiting patiently at the Ramen Bar for Sora to come. It was fifteen minutes until 8:00, but it couldn't hurt coming here early, can it? He shifted his weight from one foot to another, twisting his hands nervously. Only 15 minutes to go...
Meanwhile, 'Sora' was walking through the village, trying to avoid the eyes most men gave him. It was strange. When he was Sasuke, all girls would try to get him to notice them and do all sorts of annoying things. While he was Sora, girls barely gave him second glances, but there were the guys... Ok, girls clambering over him was one thing. But GUYS?!?! That's just... wrong...
Sasuke was quite positive there was a group stalking him.
After a few twists and turns, he finally reached the Ramen Bar. There he spotted the blond, waiting patiently for him. The boy wondered why Naruto was fidgeting so.
"Oi, Naruto...kun!!" he called him over, almost forgetting to add the suffix. He normally didn't call Naruto as Naruto-kun and it felt weird on his tongue.
"Hn? Oh!! Ohayo Kamite-san!!" Naruto grinned as he skipped up to the 'girl.' "Ano...you look nice today!!"
"Arigatou." Sasuke held back a small blush. He had talked about it with Tsunade the night before and after laughing her ass off, which took a while, she rummage through the cloths she bought and threw them to the dark- haired Chuunin to try on. After two hours, she decided on a dark blue skirt with a white blouse. Sasuke had finally learned how to brush his hair right.
"What kind of Ramen do you want?" Naruto asked as they sat down at the counter.
"Hn...Miso I guess." He replied.
"Ok!! Oi!! Two Miso Ramen please!!!" the blond called to the manager, who nodded and handed them their meal fifteen minutes later.
"Ne, can I call you Sora?" Naruto spoke up. Sasuke blinked then nodded. "When'd you come here?? I don't remember seeing you come here."
"Ano...Tsu-my aunt told me to come to Konoha a week ago and I arrived here umm...two days ago." He lied.
"Really?? Ehh, no wonder, I was on a mission." The blond took another bite of the noodles. Then he spotted something and then called out, "Sakura- chan!! Ino!!" Sasuke froze. On no, not them, anyone but them...
"Ohayo Naruto!!!" Sakura waved at them and walked over, closely followed by Ino. The two of them seemed to have gotten over their rivalry ever since Ino started dating Shikamaru. "Hey, who's that?" she pointed to Sasuke.
"What? Oh, she's Kamite Sora." Naruto answered, "She's Tsunade-baba's niece and came here what was it, two days ago!! Eh Sora? You ok??" the dark- haired Chuunin nodded. If Sakura recognized him, he was dead.
"Nice to meet you Kamite-san." Sakura nodded in his direction. Sasuke sighed in relief.
"Nice to meet you too, uhh, Sakura was it?" he replied.
"Hai!! And this is Ino!!" the pink-haired girl introduced her friend, who waved cheerfully, and then turned to her teammate. "Ne, Naruto, you finally got yourself a girlfriend?"
"S-she's not my girlfriend!!" the blond stuttered, blushing.
"Sure she isn't." Sakura smiled, mischievously. "Hope you two have fun. Invite us to the wedding." And then turned to leave. Sasuke stared.
"What wedding?" he said stupidly. Before Naruto can answer, there was a loud poof and a certain silver-haired Jounin was on the counter with a book titled "Come Come Paradise."
"Kakashi-sensei!!" Naruto exclaimed, "What are you doing here??"
"Hn? What am I doing here?? I'm here because I appeared here." their teacher grinned at them through the mask. "Just to tell you, Sakura's planning a picnic in two weeks or so."
"Really?" Naruto nodded, "Ok."
"Sora what are you doing here?" Kakashi suddenly asked, using his eyes to ask if Naruto knew about his secret.
"Naruto...kun is treating me to Ramen." Sasuke replied, eyes not meeting his teacher's, who blinked as this all registered in his brain then excused himself outside for a while. Sasuke swore he could hear uncontrollable laughter outside the Bar.
"I'm." the silver-haired Jounin cleared his throat as he sat calmly on the stool next to Sasuke. "I'm glad that you two have found each other. Ho- "
"We're not girlfriend-boyfriend, Kakashi-sensei." Naruto muttered, eyes on his Ramen.
'Not yet.' Kakashi thought, grinning widely at the thought. "Well, if you guys, erm, happen to, eh, how should I say this, ano, find feelings for each other, just to tell you Naruto, Sora's leaving in two weeks."
"NANI?!?!!?" the blond exclaimed then turned to the 'girl', "You're leaving in two weeks?" he asked sadly.
"Erm, yes..." Sasuke replied, a bit taken back at how melancholy is rival's tone sounded. "But um, we can still write to each other...I guess." He added, trying to cheer him up. Naruto perked up at this.
"YOSH!!!" he smiled then finished the rest of his Ramen. The dark- haired Chuunin sighed. He felt the need to murder a certain leering silver- haired Jounin.
'Mou, what the hell is wrong with me?' he thought, 'Maybe it's just that Naruto looks weird when he's sad. It just looks wrong. Oh well.' "But send your letters through Tsunade."
"Ok!!!" the blond grinned as he set the empty bowl down on the table. "I'm going to go train now!! Wait, here's money to pay." He placed several yen in Sasuke's hand, "Ja!!" and left for the woods, leaving his rival blinking.
"So how was your mission?" Kakashi asked, breaking the tense silence. "I hear you got abducted by you brother." Sasuke scowled.
"Urusei." He muttered, finishing his Ramen.
"Then Naruto came to your rescue." His teacher went on, "Then Naruto asked you out. What's going on with the both of you?? Are you guys going steady?"
"There's nothing between us!!" Sasuke glared at him, "He just...asked me to Ramen, that's all."
"And he paid for it." Kakashi stroked his chin, thoughtfully, "When was the last time he paid for his Ramen?? I recall it was when he asked Sakura out and she finally agreed."
"What are you saying?? That he likes me?" Sasuke growled, "Ok, well, he doesn't like me, he likes Sora."
"Yup!!" the silver-haired Jounin said cheerfully. "Now, what will happen when he finds out Sora is really his all time hated rival Uchiha Sasuke??? Hm?? Have you ever thought of that??"
"No." his student told him, "Cause the Dobe's never going to find out."
"What if he does?"
"He won't." Sasuke drained the bowl of soup and placed it on the counter.
"Whatever." Kakashi rested his chin on his hand, "Oh and by the way, Sasuke, I had several phone calls from men in the Hidden Sand Village asking for a girl with long black hair. Do you know anything about that?" Sasuke took this time to say he had to go now, paid for the Ramen, and ran out of the Bar before Kakashi could react.
Going to stop here. Sorry if it's a bit short, Yes, there are several attempts at failed humor, sorry about that. And about that bit of dancing monkeys...hehe, I just had to add that in there ^__^ and that imaginary leaf when Naruto did Rasengan?? It's that leaf that Jiraiya drew on when he was first learning it.
