Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Naruto is property of Kishimoto Masashi.

AN: this is not a proper chapter so to speak, it's as titled, an interlude. The next proper chapter will be up by the end of the week just adding the finishing touches to it. I warn you though expect more interludes throughout the course of this fic! They're my way of breaking things down … and plus the interludes are totally random.

EDITED: Sasuke's dialogue is now in italics… as it was difficult for some to differentiate who was speaking when.

Thanks to Erikkoekkoek, smiter, Tsunade-chan, amyR90, Ah-choo, Mimi, Surreal, wrathchylde, carrot stix, SSJ, kichou and bLackBodian for reviewing. You all mean the world to my continuation of this fic! Pocky for all!

Also a note in response to black bodian, about Sasuke being a master of ninjutsu and there not being any lol. I suppose I didn't explain that well. The type of ninjutsu in this fic that I meant I've not involved is all the techniques with supernatural origin. I'm not involving anything that's magic so to speak. When I said Sasuke was a master of ninjutsu, I meant the form of ninjutsu that is taught as a　hand to hand combat. Maybe the use of ninja weapons… something that you'd learn in real life… as opposed to magical techniques found in the anime

hope that cleared up any confusion!

Anyway, on with the show…

Interlude: The random words of one Uzumaki Naruto...

...with the occasional interruption from one Uchiha Sasuke.

"So what can I say? University sucks, working is hard, it makes my brain steam. Cooking for myself is hard, god help me for saying this but ramen gets boring after the first three weeks of it constantly. Getting a girl is damn near impossible…"

"For you maybe…"

"Shut it bastard I'm talking. Getting a girl is imposs… ok I didn't mean it that way. Getting the right girl is damn near impossible and this shit isn't half as easy as it seemed."

"Well it wouldn't be for you, would it you dope? You drink every night and spend most of your lecture time arguing with your lecturer. You blow off every opportunity you get with any nice girl that has the stomach to ask you out all because you're obsessed with one girl that doesn't realise you like her."

"Do you mind? I mean can you not let me talk for five minutes without interrupting? And don't get so big headed, for a guy that can supposedly get any girl he wants whenever he wants you haven't gotten any. As I remember you haven't had a girlfriend since you went out with… …

…ow! Fuckshit! What was that for? That hurt!"

"What do the words sworn to secrecy mean to you?"

"A brick to the head obviously. What's with you Sasuke, Itachi kick your ass again?"

"Fuck you."

"…"

Insert annoyed and flushed expression on one Uchiha's face

"… Shit! Sasuke you're not gay are you? Oh hell no, please tell me you're not gay… that's so wrong I've known you for years..."

"…dope…"

"ow!"

"…loser…"

"ow!"

"…fuckwit, I'm not gay you twat."

"OW! Stop abusing me you heavy handed bastard… thank you… and thank god."

"…"

"…"

"…idiot…"

"You can't blame me for suspecting though, you look like that type."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"You know, gay guys are usually pretty and incredibly vain."

"Fuck you, I am not vain and I am most certainly NOT pretty."

"You are, there's something about your face, it's almost girly."

"You're just asking to have something sharp impaled in your head Naruto."

"That'll teach you for interrupting… hey is that why you're always frowning and glaring? So that your face doesn't look all soft and girly?"

"… I'm calm... I have self control… I will not be riled by a dimwit with ramen for brains…"

"Whatever man. Ramen huh? Shit I'm hungry, Hinata's cooking today right? Let's go!"
