I have so much I long to ask you

But now the chance has gone

When your picture fades each day

In my heart the memory stays

Chapter 5: Searching for you

King's Chamber

"Yondaime-sama! Please tell me! Where is Naruto?" Sasuke kneeled in front of the King.

"I'm afraid I can not tell you."

"But... Why?"

"I promise to my son not to tell anyone where he headed." Yondaime turned his head, he stared at the blue sky, his eyes reflecting his son's face.

'Naruto...Is it what you really want?'

"I understand..." Sasuke's head dropped. "Please excuse me." He turned around and walked away.

"Wait!"

Sasuke stopped and turned to see the King, his face showing confusion.

"You may want to ask a man in the garden about it." Yondaime smiled.

Sasuke starled 'Did Yondaime-sama just give me a hint?'

"Thank you..." Sasuke smiled and run towards the garden.

Yondaime stared at Sasuke's back. "Uchiha Sasuke... Will Naruto forgive him?"

Garden

Sasuke walked along the path, searching for a man he didn't even know. And then he spotted an old man with white hair.

'Is he the man that would lead me to Naruto? Isn't he too old? Nah, it is not the time to be confused, I must find him, as fast as possible.' He thought.

"Excuse me, Sir." Sasuke patted his shoulder. "May I ask you a question?"

The man turned, studying his face and he finally said. "Sure."

"Did you know where princess.... Err, I mean Prince Naruto went to?" He stuttered.

"Hmm... I don't know where he went." He scratched his nearly bald head. "But... maybe my grandson, Konohamaru, know."

"Where is your grandson?" Sasuke asked, getting a bit impatient.

"Somewhere in this garden, probably..." He said. "He has brown hair, about 17 years old."

"Thank you for your help, Sir!" Sasuke turned and started running.

"Youngsters these days..." The man said.

Sasuke running and keep running, searching for Konohamaru, the man that would lead him to Naruto. Finally he saw a brown haired man, he grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.

"Excuse me, but are you Konohamaru?" Sasuke managed to breathed out, breathless after hours of running.

"Yes. But, who are you?" Konohamaru eyed him curiously.

"I'm sorry for my rudeness." Sasuke said. "I am Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke."

"I am Konohamaru. Well, you already know my name, aren't you?" Konohamaru. "So, what brings you here, Sasuke-sama?"

"I have something to ask you." Sasuke said. "Where is Naruto?"

"He is at a place where snow always falls." Konohamaru said, closing his eyes. "That's all I can tell you."

"A place where snow always falls..." Sasuke murmured.

"I hope you can find him and bring him back to us." Konohamaru said. "No matter how much I hate you for hurting him... You are the one he loves, the one that can bring happiness to him."

"I will bring him back..." Sasuke said. "No matter what, I will bring him back."

Sasuke's Room

Sasuke sat on his bed in his bedroom. He seems to be lost in thought.

'A place where snow always falls...Where is it?'

'Come on brain! Think of something!' He buried his face in his hand.

'Wait a minute! There's a country up north where there's always snowing!' His face lighted. 'Maybe... Maybe Naruto is there. There's no time to waste, I'll go now!'

Sasuke walked to his wardrobe and began to stuff his clothes and equipments as fast as he can into a black bag, then he grabbed a sword and make his way out of the castle.

"Sasuke-sama, where are you going?" One of the guards asked him.

"I'm going somewhere, and probably I would not come back in a while." He said. "Tell my father I'm sorry for my selfishness."

Then he hurried to the nearest port, leaving the guard wondering what's going on with his prince.

At the port

"Excuse me Sir, do you know if there is a ship going to Yamanaka Kingdom?" Sasuke asked one of the sailors.

"You're just in time lad." The man said. "That ship over there will go to Mercury City in half an hour."

"Thank you."

"No problem lad."

Sasuke made his way to the ship. Then he asked one of the crew for the captain. A few minutes later the captain shown up from a cabin.

"Can I help you?" The captain yawned, looks a bit sleepy.

"Umm, may I ride on this ship until Mercury City?"

The captain raised his eyebrow. "Hmm... Let me see..." He brings his hand to his chin.

"Please, I have to go to Yamanaka Kingdom." Sasuke begged. "I can pay you, how much do you want?"

"I don't need your money lad." He crossed his hand. "I can bring you to Mercury City in one condition."

"Tell me."

"You must help us in the kitchen." The captain grinned.

"Excuse me?" Sasuke's eyes widen.

"Are you deaf, lad? I said you must help us in the kitchen." He repeated. "One of my crew that usually works in the kitchen broke his arm, so we need your help."

"Fine..." Sasuke sighed.

"Well... Let's go then!" The captain walked to the ship followed by a slightly annoyed Sasuke.

Tbc...
