Baka: Ah yes, The anticipated sequel to "After the break"! It is finally
here! "After innocence" takes place about three years after the events in
"After the Break". In other words, they are 15 years old. This also takes
place after the events in the manga, so that stuff DID happen. It's just,
let's hope Sasuke is back in Konoha, and things are fairly back to "normal"
(as normal as Konoha, and their lives can get).
Inner Baka: Ne, Baka. What else is happening?
Baka: Uhm, they are all now chunin's. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura don't work on a team anymore, but they do still hang out, and are friends. They are all close, so they all sometimes act out of character around each other, meaning.Sasuke might be a bit louder around them, while he is still the giant iceberg around everyone else. And Sakura lets Inner Sakura out and Naruto.well, he still acts like a dork, but he also lets them see his sad side every now and then.
IB: I see. Are you surer of what's gonna happen during this one? Or are you gonna be completely unsure, and just head blindly into this like you were with "After the Break" (in other words, I had no idea where I was going to take ATB, I just whinged it.)
Baka: Heh, heh heh heh. We'll see.
IB: *sigh* Baka.
Baka: Also, there are some major spoilers up ahead. Heh, well, if you aren't caught up to the manga. *sigh* If you haven't read them manga, I suggest you do, though I think this is the only time I will have any type of spoiler.
IB: Uhm, once I mention Orochimaru, it will be spoilers, they will stop. Hey, how about if I add a warning. Yeah. *goes and does that* .........
Disclaimer: Though I don't actually "own" Naruto, I like to play pretend sometimes, and make up these stories. *ahem*

After Innocence Chapter One
.......
Naruto crouched on a branch of a tree and observed his targets movements, and jumped to the next tree when his target started to walk away.
The blonde chunin was very stealthy when he wanted to be, over the past few years his abilities grew from the loud mouthed hyperactive boy, to a sly calm disciplined young man.when he wanted to be one. When he was out with his friends, he was still loud and hyper, but when it came to doing a mission, he learned how to control his emotions and calm down.
And right now he was on a mission.
Naruto followed his target a while longer until it got to Naruto's desired destination. *He's there, now it's time.*
Naruto quietly leaped onto the roof of the apartment building and peeked over the edge down at his target. *Perfect, he is looking for his key.* Naruto reached down and felt the little lump in his pocket where the key rested.
"Damnit, where did it go?" the dark haired male below Naruto muttered while he searched his pockets and the ground around him.
While the dark haired boy was looking at the ground, Naruto saw the perfect chance. *NOW!* He thought and leapt off the roof onto the boy below him.
"Gotcha!" he yelled as he pinned the boy down.
"Naruto!" the boy shouted and struggled.
Naruto laughed then tickled the other boy, "Ha ha! It's amazing! The great Uchiha Sasuke couldn't even spot the lowly Uzumaki Naruto!"
Sasuke tried to hold back his laughter as Naruto tickled him, but failed and giggled. "St-stop it!" he laughed.
Naruto stopped then got up and held out his hand to help Sasuke up.
Sasuke swatted his hand away, "You don't need to help me up, I'm not crippled." And he got up. "Hey, have you seen my house key any where?"
Naruto pulled the key out of his pocket, "You mean this one?" then he sneered.
Sasuke glared, "When did you manage to get that?"
"Remember when you went to the store and emptied your pockets to gather up your change? Well, you dropped your key."
Sasuke swiped his key away from his friend. "Dobe. Why didn't you return it?"
Naruto was unmoved by Sasukes friendly insult, "Well, first of all, I was amused by the fact you didn't notice you dropped it." Naruto smiled, "And secondly, It gave me the chance to catch you by surprise, dumbass"
Sasuke smirked *He could catch me any time, hell, he could probably catch Kakashi.* Sasuke didn't like the fact that Naruto has become stronger than him, but he has slowly began to accept the fact. *Hey, that reminds me.*
"Naruto, you said you were going to help me with hiding my chakra." Sasuke said.
Naruto thought for a moment, "Hm, yeah I did, didn't I?" Naruto said distractedly, "When do you want me to help?"
Sasuke thought for a moment, "You free tomorrow?"
Naruto scrunched his nose, "I'm busy in the morning, but I'm free after lunch." Naruto's eyes lit up, "Hey, how about we go for lunch, then I can tell you all about this cool mission I did today!"
Sasuke frowned, "Let me guess, I'm buying."
Naruto chuckled and rubbed the back of his head, "Pleeeaase?"
Sasuke smiled, "Sure, why not." Sasuke did enjoy Naruto's company; also, he liked hearing his stories. *His missions sound better than mine, though I'm sure he exaggerates a bit.*
And with that, Naruto waved and ran back to his own apartment.
......
-Sasuke-
After a short, quick supper, Sasuke went to his room and looked out the window. *Such a beautiful night* He pulled his shirt off, revealing his pale, yet athletic build to the cool air.
He stripped to his boxers then flopped on his bed. He tossed a bit. *Too much on my mind.* He thought, and reached over and grabbed a pencil. He sat up and grabbed the notebook beside it.
*I'll write*. Sasuke has been keeping a journal ever since he found Narutos. He thought it would be a good idea to sort his thoughts out on paper. He sighed, then began to write.
Dear journal
Today was another boring task. I once again had to help kids practice using their chakra. I swear, teaching kids' is not what I signed up for.
What DID I sign up?
Sasuke paused for a bit and thought. His life took some interesting turns in the past.
I always looked up to my brother. And after he killed off our entire clan, I was living to get my revenge, and to restore the Uchiha clan.
And I never lost sight of that goal.not until I was 12.
Then I met them. Sakura, Kakashi, and especially Naruto. Those 3 changed me a bit. Though I tried not to lose sight of my ambition.
~~==**Spoilers**==~~
Kakashi once asked me, "What will you do after your revenge?"
To tell you the truth, all I was doing till then was seeking power. Power to destroy my brother, and I never thought of long term plans.
And in search for my power, I was persuaded by Orochimaru to join his forces. Lucky for me, Hokage sent a group after me, and in that group was Naruto. (I am not sure if they manage to get Sasuke back, it is just a prediction)
If it weren't for him, where would I be? A slave to some snake-man? Heh, I'm glad Orochimaru's madness has stopped.
~~==** End Spoilers **==~~
Anyways, onto other things. Naruto did it again today. Ya know, sneak up on me and pounce on me.why does he do that anyways?
I also asked him to help me with my chakra. Heh, back then I'd be caught DEAD before asking Naruto for help. Meh, but now I see he is stronger. And since Sakura and I found out about Kyuubi, I am not surprised.
Naruto cried when he saw that we didn't care about the Kyuubi. He was so happy that we accepted it. But, how can we hate him? He isn't hate-able when you get to know him like we do.
I think Naruto is a worthy 'rival', and defiantly someone I want to beat. Heh, I even have some competition in 'looks' now. Apparently he is very good-looking. More the opposite of how I am.
I am beautiful, while he is handsome. The only thing I don't like is.he knows how to get the girls off of him. I should ask him how.
Speaking of girls, did I mention that Sakura has stopped hanging off of me? Heh, I think I mention that every entry. GOD was that annoying.
.why do I want the girls off of me?
Well, this entry has become quite long. I'll end it now. See ya!
.Did I just say "See ya!" to a book? Whatever.
Sasuke sighed and set his journal down beside his bed and laid down. *Now I got that off my mind, time to sleep* Sasuke closed his eyes, and fell asleep almost instantaneously. (Oh god, I wish I could fall asleep that fast)

Baka: Hey. Chappie one is done! It's DONE it's DONE!
