NARUTO - Neverending
---Chapter 1---
It was sunny once again and Konoha seemed as peaceful as ever. The songs of the birds, the sound of the slight wind hitting the tree leaves.
And the usual screaming and shouting having one and only cause.
"NARUTOOO!"
Sakura was running furiously towards the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant.
"Damn that Naruto!Stealing all my free ramen tickets!I'll find him and then...Inner Sakura evil laugh"
Arriving at the shop, there was no one there, other than the owner and the cute Ayame.
"Uuuh..hi!",said Sakura, surprised not to find Naruto eating, and embarassed about screaming aimlessly.
"Good morning Sakura!What would you like?Today's special offer is pork ramen.Delicious!", said the owner.
"I..uh..didn't come to eat..uuh..have you seen Naruto?I WILL KILL HIM!".Sakura put on a kind smile and
thought of all the bad things she would do to Naruto.
Ayame replied with a kind smile too,"He came by, ate some free ramen and said he was going to train his jutsus."
"Thanks a lot!You just dag Naruto's grave..evil eyes Inner-Sakura fu fu fu fu...Byeee!"
"Have a nice day!", they both said and went on to serve a costumer that had just walked in.
---
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!"
Six clones appeared, holding a kunai and getting into defensive position.
"Ok...I'm coming!" Naruto shouted and he started running unarmed against two of the kage bunshins.
One bunshin jumped against Naruto, while the other one threw the kunai at him.In one swift movement,
Naruto was fast enough to run below his bunshin and stab it with the kunai that was originally targetting him.
Then he immediately threw a shuriken to the other bunshin, causing them to vanish into smoke at the same time.
"Eeeheheheh!Four to go!Ready or not, here I co...", his phrase was cut in two when he heard a very familiar voice.
"Naaaaaaaaaaaaaruuuuuuuuuuutoooooo!I found you!"
Sakura was sprinting towards Naruto, hitting whatever bunshins she found in her way.
Naruto watched Sakura in awe, "wow..three more..two..one..Uh..why am I so calm about this?..."
Naruto suddenly started doing hand seals, then bit his finger and pressed his hand on the ground.
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!"
A frog almost two times bigger than Naruto appeared.
"Gamakichi!Jump for our lives!", he said as he jumped on the frog's back.
"Oh no you don't!", Sakura hit the ground effectively creating a small crator and making Naruto fall off the terrorised Gamakichi
who jumped away as fast as he could.
"Traitoooor!", said Naruto with a childish voice."uuh..Sakura-chan..let me explain.."
The last thing he saw was Sakura's fist getting TOO close to his face.
---
"H..nn...", Naruto groaned as he started regaining conciousness realising he was laying on the grass, at the training grounds.
"Serves you right!", Sakura bugged Naruto flicking his forehead with her finger.
"EEEEEH?I didn't do ANYTHING this time!", Naruto protested and suddenly seemed as energetic as always.
Sakura took a confused look, "You didn't?Ayame-chan said you ate free ramen..".
A large sweatdrop went down Naturo's cheek."I..uuh..."
Suddenly smoke surrounded them.
"Fu fu fu.."
Sakura and Naruto suddenly jumped into defensive position with kunai in their hands.
"Who's there?", they said in one voice.
"Having the awesome ability of a Jounin and being the future Hokage!", said a boy's voice.
"Being as mature, talented and beautiful as Tsunade-hime in her younger days!", continued a girl's voice.
"And having the analytical skills of a Math-freak!", sounded another boy.
"Konohamaru Corps!", and Konohamaru, Moegi and Udon came out of the smoke.
Sakura and Naruto looked at each other.
"Oh, it's just you guys..I got scared for a moment there..", Naruto said scratching the back of his head.
"Oi! Don't go around saying that stuff!You're still only Genin!DAMN KIDS!My heart almost stopped with that evil laugh!Ksaneroooooooooooo!"
The three children looked at the two Jounins with a pleading look.
"Wh...what is it?...", Sakura went back one step.
"PLEASE TRAIN WITH US!", said the three Genins with one voice.
"Uumm..Maybe Naruto can..", Sakura looked at the direction Naruto was.But he was already running away."Narutooo...I'll kill him..."
Sakura then nodded ok at the Konohamaru Corps trio.
In the middle of the forest somewhere in the Rice Country, a person that used to belong to Konoha was laying on his bed with closed eyes,
recalling all of his past.It wasn't the first time. He had to do that in order to always remember what he was..An avenger..
Uchiha Sasuke got up from his bed and stretched.
He walked slowly to the bathroom. He leaned and washed his face. Then he looked in the mirror in front of him. His black, raven hair had grown a bit, but he still had the same haircut.
He passed his hands through his hair and looked closer in the mirror. He focused on his eye and noticed his core turning from black into a deep red with
three swirling dots.He had gotten the 3-tomoe Sharingan four years ago, when he fought Naruto in the Valley of End.
"Hn..and you'd think that three tomoe were enough..", he laughed at his own frustration.
Then he leaned even closer to the mirror and tried to focus chakra on his Sharingan.
The swirling dots started quickly moving clockwise in his eye, and then suddenly stopped and stayed still.
Then the sharp end started to grow but only for half a second.
"Tsk..still no progress..I guess training has no serious effect on my Sharingan..", his notice making him feel pain in the heart, as he had promised himself he would find a way to get power to defeat his brother.He deactivated his Sharingan and stretched again.
"I guess I can't count on the cursed seal too.Now that I've grown this strong I'll have to leave this place.."
"Sasuke-sama..Don't say things like that..", Sasuke heared a voice behind him and turned only to recognise Orochimaru's right-hand man, Kabuto.
"Hn..I can't expect a dog like you to understand."Sasuke passed near Kabuto and made his way to the exit.
"Ts..ts..Sasuke-sama.Why do you underestimate other people?We all use each other here.You're no better than me..", Kabuto bugged Sasuke and added a light chuckle.
"Well..I guess I have to show you that I'm better than you, don't I?", Sasuke smirked and revealed his Sharingan to Kabuto, who immediately raised his hands
in a 'calm down' sign and then left the room.
"I wonder how much longer I have to wait...I can feel it..", Sasuke said as he went out of the building.
"..the day..is getting closer...brother.."

Moegi lost her balance and fell on the ground.
Sakura then smirked and punched the ground with force, creating a crack that continued to open, heading for Moegi.
"Earth element!Mud bullet!"
Konohamaru stomped the ground and some mud floated above his hand, and he aimed for Sakura.
"Too slow..", Konohamaru heard Sakura's voice behind him, but was already hit in the back of his neck.
"And don't try moving..you'll just mess up..", Sakura said smiling at the confused Konohamaru that was trying to figure out why
his arm moved when he tried to move his leg.
"Tree element!Autumn Leaves!", Udon shouted while doing some handseals.
Sakura flinched at the sound of Udon's voice."WTF?Tree element?That was only used by the First Hokage!"
She found herself in a room with a single tree.Leaves started to fall.Suddenly they became daggers and targeted Sakura's body.
"SHIT!Genjutsu!That brat knows a hokage level jutsu?"
Suddenly the daggers became trees again just before they touched her body.Sakura looked around and the room had vanished and instead of seeing a tree in front of her, she could see Udon on the ground looking pale.
"For a while there I thought you were actually good..But for a kid to be able to even do the Genjutsu in the first place..Unbelievable.."
"Udon!What happened?Stand up!", Moegi shouted in panic.
"Sakura-san help him please!",Konohamaru said while being merely able to stand on his feet, still afraid to move.
"It's alright..He just spent all of his chakra.."
She then slowly walked to Udon and put her right hand on Udon's forehead, while doing a handseal with her left hand.Chakra began flowing from her hand into Udon and he slowly regained his conciousness.
"But I guess you are a pretty impressive team.You may grow into strong shinobi with practise.", Sakura smiled as she thought of her past as a Genin.
But she felt that familiar ache in her heart.The one Naruto felt too.The pain of being left behind by their most important person.
-End of Chapter 1-
Sooooooooooo..I hope that was long enough, and that you enjoyed it!
This is mostly a story of friendship.A story between Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke.
So don't expect too much romance.There will be romance, but not THAT much.Mostly action and plot.
Please write your opinions on this.It's my first written story/fanfic and I don't have THE knowledge of english and literature
so I'm a bit nervous if you'll like it. --'
Next Chapter won't be coming for quite a long time.At least a month, due to my taking exams at university.
Anyway thanks for reading!Revieeeeeeeeeeews!
