Chapter Seven

Suprise

Sakura logged off, happily taking out a bottle of coke from her fridge. "I'll bring this to the picnic." she said giggling. "Okay Sakura! Stop giggling!" she said to herself. After a couple of seconds of silence, Sakura started giggling again.

"Sasuke kun is coming back! I shouldnt be giggling! But...how should we bring him back? I should tell Tsunade sama...but...NARUTO!" she yelled, and put the bottle of coke down.

She ran to his house and stored chakra into her hand. She knocked the door repetetively, really, really loud.

"SAKURA CHAN! ARE YOU USING YOUR CHAKRA AGAIN! LAST TIME, YOUR BROKE MY DOOR!" Naruto yelled, running to answer his door.

He opened the door to find Sakura giggling again. "Sakura chan? Are...did you get my message on your answering machine? Is that why you are giggling? I didnt do anything between you and...him...right?" Naruto asked concered. Sakura shook her head giggling.

"No Naruto. You made things clearer." she said, and took a deep breath. She let it out and smiled. "Sasuke kun...is coming back.." she said clearly.

Naruto lowered his gaze to the floor. "Sakura chan...I know we are talking to him again..but..I really need to bring him back. Dont mock me. Sakura chan, I will bring him back." he said, determined. Sakura's huge smile, turned into a small one.

"Naruto...hes coming back..he said so himself. We just have to think of a plan to get him out." Sakura said, putting a hand on his shoulder. Naruto looked into her eyes, still concered. "Sakura chan...Sasuke...he says a lot of things.." he said quietly. Sakura's eyes narrowed. "Are you telling me hes lying? He told me everything, and now he's not coming back?" Sakura asked.

Naruto looked away. "Im just warning you Sakura chan...I dont want you to get hurt again. He says many things...but...he shows now...that sometimes...he cant keep his words...dont get your hopes up. Thats all Im saying." Naruto said quietly.

"Your wrong Naruto. I...know hes coming..back." Sakura said quietly. "Then why..are you hesitating?" Naruto asked looking deeply into her eyes. Sakura shook her head. "NO! I know hes coming back! I know it! Why dont you believe me Naruto! Cant you trust him!" Sakura yelled. "Sakura chan...Sasuke...the one I knew..I would trust with my life. He left us. Betrayed us. I dont know if I can trust him again. Until I see him in this village with my own eyes...not accompining Orochimaru...I will trust him.." Naruto said. Sakura glared at him.

"I know Sasuke kun has changed. I knew it from the start. But...hes back now. Hes the Sasuke we knew." Sakura said sternly. "And what if he changes back?" Naruto asked. "He wont! I will see you at the picnic Naruto." Sakura growled quietly, and turned her back. "Sakura chan! Im sorry! I just dont want you to get hurt!" Naruto said at her retrieving back.

When Sakura reached her home she slammed the door, and put the coke back in the fridge to keep cool. She sat on her favourtie chair, and used Sasuke's thinking position. She rested her elbows on the coffee table, and folded her hands. She then rested her chin on her hands, and closed her eyes.

He says many things...but...he shows now...that sometimes...he cant keep his words...

He left us. Betrayed us. I dont know if I can trust him again.

And what if he changes back?

Sakura's eyebrows furrowed in frustraition. "Sasuke kun...is not lying..." she said quietly.

You win

Sakura stood up, and snapped open her eyes. "I know hes not. Yes Naruto...Sasuke kun says many things, and doesnt keep his word. But...I know it. Hes coming back for sure.." she said confindently.

---------------

"Sakura! Hinata!" Ino yelled happily. Shikamaru, Naruto, Neji, Tenten, and Chouji were all setting up a picnic table. Sakura met Hinata on her way there, and joined her.

"Hi Ino. I brought a bottle of coke." Sakura said. Hinata nodded, and brought a bag of ramen out of her bag. Naruto's eyes glittered when he saw Hinata. "Hi Hinata!" he said happily. He turned to Sakura, and his eyes lost the sparkle. "Sakura chan..." he said quietly.

Saura looked at Naruto, emotionless. They were like that; just staring, until Tenten took Sakura's bottle of coke. "I'll put it with some ice, to keep cool." Tenten said. Sakura smiled, and nodded.

On one side of the table sat, Neji, Shikamaru, Ino and Sakura. On the other side, facing Neji was Tenten, followed by Chouji, Hinata and Naruto.

"Alright! Dont you love my seating arrangment that I made in less than 1 minute!" Ino said, winking, with a thumbs up. Shikamaru sighed. "Sure...now what do we do?"

Sakura glared at the table. She was seated facing Naruto. "Lets play ultimate frisbee." Tenten said. "Same teams as the table sides." Neji said. "Oh, so its like that eh! Im gonna kick your butt!" Tenten said, taking out an orange frisbee.

"No Tenten. You dont kick butts in ultimate frisbee. You throw the frisbee, and try to make goals. As far as I know, there is no butt kicking. That would just make you some kind of pervert. You know, for touching butts." Neji said coolly, taking the frisbee from her. Tenten turned red, and grabbed the frisbee back. "GAME ON!" she yelled.

Chouji went into goal, and Shikamaru for the other team. (a/n: now, i kinda forgot the rules...but your allowd to take like 3 steps or something? i dont even know why i bother to write the game when i dont know the rules, but OH WELL! ULTIMATE FRISBEE: MY RULES.)

Tenten threw the frisbee to Naruto. Naruto looked around, and saw Hinata open. He threw it to her, but he did it too hard. Hinata missed, and Neji picked it up. He took a couple of steps, and threw it to Ino. Ino passed it to Sakura. Naruto ran to Sakura. Sakura took a few steps and threw the frisbee. Unfortunatly for Naruto, it hit his crotch.

"OOOWWW!" he yelled, falling to the ground. Ino held in a laugh, and Shikamaru closed his eyes. "Poor guy." he muttered. Sakura gasped. "Oh! Sorry! I must of had bad aim!" she said sarcastically. Hinata rushed to his aid, her face pink. "A...are you a..alright N..naruto kun?" she asked. Naruto nodded, his eyes closed, clutching where it hurts.

"That probably hurts! So...I declare its our frisbee!" Tenten said, and picked up the frisbee. After a couple of minutes of sitting out, Naruto rejoined the game.

Soon, they decided to eat. "I knew you would loose." Neji said, throwing the frisbee in the air, and catching it. Tenten folded her arms. "Its so unfair. Shikamaru used his shadow technique. How was Naruto supposed to stop that frisbee?" Tenten mumbled.

They started eating, and Naruto stole glances at Sakura once in a while. Sakura looked down at her plate the whole time. Damn it...I shouldnt of done that..Naruto...he just cares for me..

"Naruto? Can I talk to you?" Sakura asked. Everyone stopped talking. They figured Sakura had some grudge against Naruto after the game.

Naruto nodded, and the two of them walked behind a tree, so no one could hear them. "Listen Naruto...Im sorry..Im sorry I hit you in the game. I was just so upset...but I know Sasuke kun will keep his word. I know it." Sakura said, looking at Naruto. Naruto nodded. "If you really believe hes coming. I will too." Naruto said with a smile. Sakrua hugged him, and smiled. "Tank you Naruto. We have to think of a plan. Get him home as soon as possible. I can have him back...you can have your best friend back...we can be a team." Sakura said, tears forming.

Naruto wiped her tears before they rolled down her cheeks. "Dont cry now Sakura chan. Everyone will think that I hit you or something." Naruto said. Sakura giggled.

The two of them came back smiling. The rest of the gang smiled too. "Good. They forgave each other for what ever they did. Sakura was starting to freak me out." Chouji whispered to Shikamaru.

---------------------

Everyone started playing soccer. They mixed up teams, and Ino's team was in the lead. "Keep up the good work you guys! I have to go to the washroom." Sakura said. She looked around, and spotted the washrooms. She was about to walk into the women's door, when she heard two voices.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"So..what did he do?"
"I dunno. But she had pink hair. Well, she dyed it. Then he sort of scared her. I dunno. I just saw her scream near the washrooms."

"Pervert..."

"Yeah, I know."

Sakura's eyes widened. A pervert? In the womens washroom! What if hes in there...I'LL KICK HIS ASS!

Sakura slowly pushed open the doors, but she felt chakra. She closed the door, and looked outside of the washroom. She left the women's washroom door, and traveled behind the whole washroom place.

There was a room for bag and such. They would pay 25 cents, and keep a locker. It was a mix for both men and women. Slowly, Sakura opened the door to enter. She quietly stepped in.

"Hello? Any perverts here? Cuz Im a kunoichi. I can kick ass." she said, looking around. She sensed chakra. "So your a ninja too eh? Probably some kid genien trying to look for women ne? You better not be Konohamaru, or I will kill you." Sakura said.

She closed her eyes, and felt strong chakra. "No..its no you...then who is it? Show yourself." she said, getting into a stance.

Suddenly she felt an arm around her waist. Sakura gasped, and turned with a kick. No one was there. Hes fast!

"Pervert! Come out!" she yelled. Again, she felt someone's lips brush against her ear. She swung a chakra filled punch, but no one was there. "I know your fast, but show yourself already!" she yelled, getting annoyed.

She turned to the edge of the door, and saw a shadow. It was slightly taller than her. Taller than Naruto. Sakura moved back, tightning her gloves on, and filled her hand with chakra. "Show yourself!" she yelled, and puched the ground. The floor split in two, revealing the dirt below. The person jumped up, and swiflty moved to the corner of the locker room.

Sakura gathered more chakra, and got ready to punch again. Suddenly she felt a hand on her wrist. "I didnt imagine this kind of greeting." the voice said. Sakura gasped. She lowered her hand, and the person's hand let go.

"S..sasuke kun?" she muttered and turned around. Sasuke stepped out into the room's light. He wasnt wearing the exact same outfit he was wearing before. He had kept the black pants, but of course, got rid of the purple rope. His top was the same except it wasnt as open. It closed around the upper chest. The top's colour was navy blue.

(a/n: really suck at explaing his clothes, when i dont even know what he should be wearing!)

He kept his sword, and his hair was basically the same.

"Sasuke kun...your back.." Sakura said, giving a soft smile. Sasuke smirked, and looked around. "You really have changed. Intense power." Sasuke said. Sakura smiled, and stuck her tongue out. "I am a chuunin." she said. Sasuke's eyes slightly widened. "Your..a chuunin?" he asked. Sakura nodded. She pouted. "You dont think I'm still weak right? Cause I will seriously kill you if you do." Sakura said. Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Although I can do those eyes, I wont fall for them. Not even by the most prettiest cherry blossom in all of Konoha." Sasuke said, stepping past her. He turned around, and smirked again.

Sakura looked up and down at him, and smiled, satisfied. "Im not being a pervert or anything, but you still look like Sasuke.." she said. Sasuke rolled his eyes once more. "Who am I supposed to look like? Naruto?" he said. Sakura giggled, and then gasped. "Oh right! We have a soccer game right now. So much for going to the washroom..." she muttered.

Sasuke nodded, and started walking out. "Wait!" Sakrua said, and grabbed the end of his sleeve. "You cant go out like that! First off, no one brought any huge weapons like that second. Only our shuriken pouch. Second, YOUR BACK FOR GOD'S SAKE! YOU CANT WALK OUT LIKE YOU FREAK'N OWN THE VILLAGE!" Sakura yelled.

"Not only is your strenth...loud..." Sasuke said choosing his words carefully. Sakura glared at him, then let go of his sleeve, and looked away. "How did you escape? I thought I told you to stay put, and not put yourslef in danger." Sakura said.

"Im here are I not? Isnt that what matters? Dont worry Sakura." he said, as she gave him a concered look. "How? How can you escape a sannin?" Sakura asked. Sasuke closed his eyes. "I..have my ways." he said. "Fine. But your gonna tell me sooner or later.." Sakura said, folding her arms.

Sakura smirked evily. "Alright. We are gonna make them see you." she said. Sasuke sighed. "No duh." he said. "No! I mean like...make a shadow clone. Then show yourself to some random people quietly. They will think its some sort of clone, which it is. But no one toher than Naruto knows your coming. They will think its impossible to clone you. Making them think they really miss you." Sakura said, and then sighed. "Alright. Not the best plans I have come up with, but what can I say? You freak'n scared me in here, and yeah...what! Dont look at me like that!" Sakura said blushing.

Sasuke cocked an eyebrow, and rolled his eyes. "Your pathetic. But, in some twisted way, I like your plan." Sasuke said, and walked to the door. He turned to Sakura, who was following him. "Did...Naruto take care of you? Did he protect you when needed?' Sasuke asked, not showing his eyes. Sakura nodded. "Yes. Naruto protected me. Dont worry Sasuke kun. Naruto said he wouldnt give me away for the world." she said, and walked past him.

Sasuke stepped out as well, and sighed. "She still is a bit upset. Who wouldnt be...I left the two people who cared for me most..but..Im back now.." Sasuke said, making a shadow clone. The clone followed Sakura's path a couple of minutes through the next soccer game.

Chouji sighed, as he watched the palyers on the other side. "They never come over here.." he muttered. Suddenly he turned around, and came face to face with Sasuke. His clone that is.

"S..sasuke!" he yelled. He rubbed his eyes, and the clone was there anymore. "This game is really stressing me out.." Chouji muttered.

Tenten dribbled the ball down. She was winning this game now! No one in her path! A figure blocked her way. "Hey!" she yelled, and looked up. She came eye to eye with Sasuke. Again, his clone, that is.

"S..sasuke! Is..that you!" she yelled. She looked down at the soccer ball and back up, and he wasnt there. Sakura smirked, and took the ball from Tenten. "Thank you." she said, and kicked it up to Ino. "Was that...was he...what?" Tenten asked herself, obviously confused.

Naruto was standing a far distance from everyone else. "Come on Neji...pass me the ball here...I can shoot it..this is so boring.." he muttered. Sasuke, the real one, leaned against Naruto's shoudler. "I bet it is. Maybe because you are the world's biggest done. Of course, dobes wont get passed the soccer ball." Sasuke said, raising an eyebrow, and looking at his nails.

Naruto nodded, then glared. "Hey! Who are you to tell me Im a...S..sasuke..?" he said quietly. Sasuke smirked, and stood up straight, and stood back from his shoulder. "The one and only." he said.

Naruto smiled, then slowly he started glaring. He raised his hand into a ball, and threw a punch at Sasuke. Sasuke quickly dodged it. "You bastard! Your finally back! I...cant...believe it!" Naruto yelled, throwing more punches. Sakura smiled. At first she saw what happened, and thought Naruto was angry. Then she saw, this was their way of greeting each other.

"Slow as usual dobe?" Sasuke said, dodging all his punches. Naruto smirked, and a bunshin appeared behind Sasuke, and swung a punch at him. Sasuke turned around, and caught his fist. He pulled it, and threw it to the ground, causing it to POOF.

Naruto found an opening, and ran to Sasuke. He jumped up, and landed right beside Sasuke, ruffling his hair. "Sakura said you were coming back, but I didnt know even an Uchiha would come this quick." Naruto said, giving a true smile. Sasuke smirked, and grabbed Naruto's hand which was ruffling his hair. "Yeah. What ever." he said, and swung Naruto over, into a front flip. Naruto swiftly landed on his feet. "Come on! Not so rough eh!" Naruto yelled, putting his hand up for help.

Sasuke shook his head, and gave a small smile. He brought his hand down, and Naruto pulled himself up. Sasuke patted his back, but Naruto hugged him. Sasuke's eyes widened, and he gave a sad smile. He didnt return the hug, but he continued to pat Naruto's back. Naruto closed his eyes, and sighed. He let go of Sasuke and gave a determined face. "Why did you come back? Sakura and I could of gone to you." Naruto said.

"Sakura didnt tell you? I told her, you guys shouldnt come. I didnt want to lose...both of you." he said. Naruto rolled his eyes, and put his arm around Sasuke's neck. "Since when has Sasuke become so lovable? Are you our little wittle baby Sasuke? He missed us soooo much. Dont worry your wittle heart Sasuke chan! We wuv you too! Dats why we wanted to come and resuce you! Your auntie Saku and uncle Naruto would of come any day! But now your a big boy Sasuke! You can come over yourself right?" Naruto said, pinching Sasuke's cheek. Sasuke flungs his hand inbetween Naruto's hand and his cheek.

"Cut it out dobe"! he yelled, rubbing his cheek. (a/n: in the hug and etc. NO SASUNARU MENT TO BE NOTICED...ITS ALL BEST FRIEND...)

By this time, everyone saw that Sasuke had come back. "So we werent insane.." Chouji and Tenten said.

----------------

It was nearly time for the sun to set, and everyone decided to head home. "Nice seeing you back Sasuke." Tenten said smiling. Neji nodded. "You sure hav gotton stronger. Well...I think. I dont know about Naruto's cheek pinching though." Neji said, smirking. "Nice to have you back Sasuke kun!" Ino said smiling. She waved goodbye, and Chouji and Shikamaru followed. "It seems as though my mission hasnt failed, now that your back." Shikamaru said.

Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura entered the hokage's office, and Tsunade was of course, sleeping. "Tsuande sama." Sakura said, clearing her throat. "Huh! Im not sleeping!" Tsunade said, waking up. You could see her drool in the corner of her mouth. Her eyes widened as she saw Sasuke step forward.

"No joke?" she asked quietly. Sakura smiled. "No joke." she said. Tsunade stepped out from behind her desk, and looked at Sasuke. "You...are back? How so?" she said. Sasuke closed his eyes. "I made my choices. I talked to Sakura and Naruto online, and I...decided I needed to be back." Sasuke said. "You two chatted on MSN with him!" Tsunade yelled. Sakura and Naruto closed their eyes, a bit frightened. They would think that Tsunade would be thrilled Sasuke was back.

"And no one told your sensei! Anbu! THE HOKAGE! Anyone!" Tsunade yelled. "We didnt want to lose contact with him. He said he would block-" Naruto began.

"He would block you! Then whats with the sudden change of heart! How do you know he could be acting! 2 and a half years with Orochimaru. You two dont know Orochimaru. He could of taught him to erase all emotions he had for you two! To teach him the way of acting. This might be the Sasuke you two loved. But...is he really? Pretending that he loves you Sakura. Pretending that he missed you both. How do you know hes not a spy for Orochimaru?" Tsunade said, rubbing her temples.

Naruto looked down. "I thought so as well..but..-"

"But what Naruto? If your dream is to become hokage..you have to think like one. I know he is your friend. Orochimaru used to be mine. But once they leave the village...you dont know who their allies are." Tsunade said gently.

"Its my fault." Sakura said, lowering her bangs. "I told Naruto not to worry. I made Naruto upset, and I convinced him that Sasuke was good." Sakura said.

"HELLO! Im right here! Ever thought of the idea Im not with Orochimaru anymore! Here you guys go, talking about my acting, and betrayel, when I came back facing the concequences!" Sasuke yelled. Tsunade looked at him directly in the eye. "You really want to have the concequences? Just for Naruto and Sakura?" Tsunade asked. Sasuke nodded. Tsunade motioned Sakura and Naruto to step back.

They did as so, and glanced at each other. Tsunade circled Sasuke. "What if I say you cant talk to Sakura, or Naruto. Not even seeing them. Forbidding you to take a step out of a range of your home. For one year." Tsunade said. Sasuke closed his eyes. "To see them after the year. To know that they are still there. Sure." Sasuke said. Sakura smiled.

"What if I ban you from ever becoming chuunin. Any rank higher?" Tsunade asked. "If Naruto and Sakura are still there...then alright." Sauske replied. Naruto smiled.

"What if I tell you that you cant return to this village. You are not welcomed here." Tsunade said, and stopped. Sakura and Naruto desperatley looked at Sasuke. He snapped open his eyes. "Then I will beg if I have to.. I will stay in this village, with any concequence." Sasuke said. Sakura and Naruto both smiled.

Tsunade smiled as well. "Well then. You may stay. But.." she said, now narrowing her eyes.

The three 15 year olds kept their gaze on Tsunade. "Sasuke Uchiha...you may not leave the village for 1 year. All missions will stay in Konoha. Sasuke Uchiha...at least 2 members of ANBU will stay with you for the first 3 months. They will watch you from outside the Uchiha residence, to anywhere you go. Unless on missions. Or visiting someone's home. Of course, the visiting will be strictly forbiddon until past 3 months. You will be living in your home for 2 months." Sasuke closed his eyes. He had no intention of living in his old home. Not to mention, they screwed it up, by rebuilding it in a different structure. "Then, you may return to your apartment. Once more...Sasuke Uchiha...as much as I hate to say it.."

Naruto and Sakura closed their eyes. "You may not...
