Chapter 5-Lonesome

Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Naruto!

notes: none for now. Here it is...

The group were finally back at Konoha as they were in front of Tsunade talking about the mission. "I see that you brought Sakura back," Tsunade said nodding towards to her as Naruto nodded, "how did Kabuto caught Sakura at the first place? I mean, it would be risky unless he did it so sneaky," he said as he looked at Sakura.

Sakura looked down, "I didn't know Shizune left since I was crying and I didn't heard her. So I turned back and saw she was there still. I thought it was her but I didn't know it was Kabuto at the time since I wasn't really concentrating," she said slowly. "All it matters Sakura, that you are back safely," Tsunade said as Sakura nodded.

"Did you saw Sasuke?" Shizune asked as everyone nodded, "I tried convincing him to come back to us granny. But he refuse since he wants more power and that one kiss was just a lie," Naruto said quietly. "I believe that if Orochimaru wasn't there Naruto, I'm sure Sasuke wouldn't have said that," Kakashi replied.

"Naruto, for now, you'll stay here and don't go after Sasuke. You will be watch by Kakashi and Jiraiya if you try to leave this village. Is that understood?" Tsunade asked, "what? You mean you want me to stay here and not do anything about Sasuke who's life is on the line here? His one of us!" Naruto argued back.

"If you go back charging in, you won't come back alive. You probably know that Sasuke is much stronger then he used to be," Tsunade said angrily. "Don't you think I know that?" Naruto snapped back as Tsunade glared at him, "your hurt right now Naruto. Why don't you go and train with Kakashi and Jiraiya? Jiraiya is here for a few days so, make the best of it," she said.

"Is that everything Tsunade?" Sakura asked as Tsunade nodded, "Sakura, I want you to stay here as well so I could train you myself," she said as Sakura nodded and she waved good-bye to Kakashi and Naruto as the two left. "Damn old hag. I'm still going and nobody's going to stop me," Naruto grumbled as Kakashi grabbed his arm, "I can't let you do that," he said quiettly.

"Now your going to follow her rules? Kakashi, this is Sasuke we are talking about!" Naruto argued back, "I agree with Tsunade. You should stay here and wait for the time to come," Kakashi replied. "I can't believe you! I thought you were my sensei?" Naruto asked angrily as he ran off, "Naruto!" Kakashi called out but Naruto ignored him as he ran.

"You should have let the boy do whatever he wants," a voice said as Kakashi sighed. "That's a reckless decision Jiraiya," he said as the white-haired man looked at Kakashi, "is it though? I would have let Naruto go if I were you," Jiraiya said. "I wish it wasn't like this at all," Kakashi murmured.

(At Naruto's Place)

"Hmm, this ramen tastes good Ayame. Where's the old man?" Naruto asked as he looked around, "oh, he has the day off. I'm sure his doing ok. Ah! Welcome! What can I get you?" Ayame asked the visitor. "Same thing his having," the voice said as Ayame nodded as she began cooking.

Naruto sighed as he didn't look at the visitor, "did Kakashi-sensei sent you here as well?" He asked. "Of course not. I'm here on my own," the voice replied, "yea right. You never do that Iruka-sensei," Naruto said angrily. "Naruto, you just have to obey the rules and before you know it, Sasuke is back," Iruka said with a smile.

"Just leave me alone," Naruto snapped as he stood up and left. Iruka sighed, he should have known from the start that Sasuke and Naruto were meant for each other. But his eyes were blind, even though he was there teacher in the academy.

(At a tree branch)

Naruto stared up at the sky as he was sitting on a branch on a tree as he thought about some things. "Thinking about some stuff?" A voice asked as Naruto looked and saw Jiraiya, "why can't all of you leave me alone?" He asked as Jiraiya stared at him. "I don't think you want that," he said quietly as Naruto didn't say anything.

"You don't want to go back to where you are lonely and have no friends. It's time to train Naruto," Jiraiya said as Naruto shook his head. "I don't want to train. If the training is meant to kill Sasuke, then I'm not going to," Naruto said, "if you don't train, you'll get killed if Orochimaru's guards finds you," Jiraiya replied.

"It's better to be killed then killing the one you love," Naruto replied slowly. Jiraiya sighed, "you don't have to train unless you want to be Hokage, do you? Are you going to let that dream die because Sasuke isn't here?" He asked as Naruto shook his head. "Then let's train and you'll become Hokage quicker if you do," Jiraiya said as Naruto sighed, "you convince me. Let's grab Kakashi and start training now," he said as Jiraiya smiled to himself.

Naruto, you are being a fine ninja every single day, Jiraiya thought as he followed Naruto.
