Chapter Nine
Fwd: Meeting the team
Last Chapter Cliffy:
Naruto and Sakura closed their eyes. "You may not...
Let the chapter begin!
...well...this has two parts to it..the first part it, you can not dare use your curse mark. I have known that you have activated it a few years ago. No matter under any circumstances, you will not use it. If you do...I dont know what I will do with you.." Tsunade muttered, rubbing her temples once more. Naruto lowered his head. He remembered the last time he saw Sauske activate the curse. That was one image he wasnt hoping to see again.
"What if it activtes itself?" Sasuke asked. Tsuande glared at him. "Dont mess with me now Uchiha. We both know very well that you can control it now. Even if you are in battle against the most highest rank, you will not activate it." Tsunade said. Sakrua's eyebrows furrowed.
Shes got to be kidding. He could die. If he is fighting a ssannin level ninja from the sand or something...but then again...if he actiavtes it...he might want to go back
Sasuke closed his eyes again, and nodded. "The second part...not only with you not activate your seal, but you will not use any jutsu that is B rank or higher, for one year. Nor will you ever use any jutsus that you have been trained under by Orochimaru. Which is basically the same." Tsunade said.
Sasuke glared at her. "WHAT! What if Im on a mission against another country, and-
"You will not use it. If you use any jutsus from him, other countires will thinks that our ninjas go under training from a snake that betrayes villages." Tsunade said sternly. "What if I use a technique that I made. Not him." Sasuke said. Tsunade shook her head. "Its all the same. Orohcimaru has been training you, and the leaf village does not need any of his jutsus. No matter if they are the strongest in any war." Tsunade said.
Sasuke clenched his fists, until his knuckles turned white. He gritted his teeth. "Fine..."
Tsunade walk back to behind her desk. She sat down, and folded her hands. "If you are to break any of these rules...you dont want to know what will happen." Tsunade said dangerously. "You are one kid that I want to have back. Any other ninja who leaves this village, and comes back...would probably serve death. Those are the concequences." Tsunade said, and motioned them out. Naruto walked out, followed by Sakura, then Sasuke.
The three of them walked to the nearest tree, and under it's shade. No one spoke. Sasuke's fists were still clenched, and his eyes were still closed. Naruto looked at Sakura, his eyes filled with worry. Sakura nodded.
"Sasuke kun? A..are you alright?" she asked. Sasuke stiffly nodded, then it was quiet again.
Sasuke sighed, and released his hands. Naruto and Sakura turned to him. "Those are some damn annoying rules. But I will take them." Sasuke said, opening his eyes. Sakura gave a small smile. Naruto grinned. "Thanks Sasuke. You dont know how much it ment for you to say those things in there. Ramen on me." he said, and triumphantly walked to the ramen bar, his team mates following.
Sakura clasped her hands behind her back. "Sasuke kun?" she asked. Sasuke stuffed his hands in his pockets. "What?" (a/n: how his pants have pockets...i dont know..)
"Thank you." she said smiling, and walked a bit further. Sasuke smirked, watching her back infront of him. The sun shone on her hair, making it brighter, and shinnier.
He scanned her well. Her black boots walked softly against the dirt. He hands behind her back, now brought up to behind her head. A Naruto pose.
He glanced at the Haruno sign, and moved on. He saw her turn her head to the ramen bar, and turn right. He saw her give a smile, and wave at the already seated Naruto. She closed her eyes, and opened them, giving a small laugh. She turned to him. "Come on Sasuke kun! Naruto is already starting to eat!" she said, and slightly skipped there. Sasuke closed his eyes, and smiled. He raised his head to the sun. "Im back..." he muttered, giving a small smile.
-----------------------------
"Im back..." he muttered, his eyebrow twitching. He was in his old room. The one he used to live in. It was a bit small, but he no intention of sleeping in anyone elses.
He looked around, and saw the things he left behind. His favourite training kunai, a poster of a famour ninja on t.v, and a picture of him and Itachi. Well, somewhat. Itachi's half was ripped off. It was only Sasuke.
Sasuke looked at the ground, and saw the other half. He picked it up. Itachi was smiling slightly, and his eyes were closed. Sasuke glared, and crumpled the picture in his hand. "I gave this up...to avenge everyone...just for them.." he muttered, and turned to the window. He could see the ramen bar, and Sakura and Naruto were still sitting there, playing a card game.
"I dont regret it...seeing Naruto and Sakura again...I dont regret it...but..not using my jutsu..." he muttered, and looked down at his hands. "This is shit." he muttered, and kicked his side table. He stood up, and walked out. As soon as Sasuke stepped out of his home, two ANBU members were watching him. Sasuke sighed. "By under order of the hokage, we are here to-
"To watch over me, blah blah. I know." Sasuke said irritably. Sasuke started walking, and each ANBU member walked to one of his sides. They stood about 2 or 3 metres away. Sasuke stopped, and put his hands in his pockets. He didnt know where to go. But as soon as he did this movement, one of the ANBU members took out a kunai. Sasuke sighed, and put his hands in the air, nothing in them. "I wasnt going to attack. Thats my pose." he said, and started walking again.
---------------------
Yamato, Sai, and Naruto were already at the meeting place. Sakura met Sasuke on her way there, so she decided to walk with him. She waved, and Sasuke nodded. The two ANBU members realised that he was going on a mission, so they jumped off.
She skipped to his side, and started walking. She kept stealing glances at him. "Your acting like a fangirl." Sasuke said. Sakura blinked, and bowed her head. "Sorry. Im just so happy that your back." she said, and looked ahead. Sasuke then looked down at her, and smirked. He put his arm around her waist, bringing her closer. Sakura squealed, and blushed.
She looked up at him, and he was looking ahead, with a light smirk. Sakura looked down at her waist, and saw his hand having a firm grip on her waist. She blushed again, and looked down at his hands. He had open fingered gloves on. She put her own hand on his. Sasuke looked down.
She was examining his gloves. Sasuke let go of her waist, and Sakura jumped. He held his hand that was around Sakura, with his other hand, and looked at it. "What were you doing?" he asked, even though he fully knew what she was doing.
Sakura smiled. "I like you gloves. Interesting in battle. Of course, mine are better." she said, and waved at the seen team. Sasuke slowly nodded, and looked at them as well.
Sai blinked, then realised Sasuke was there. "Your Sasuke?" he asked. Sasuke nodded. Sakura and Naruto closed their eyes, waiting for the worst to come. "Your snakey? I see. Interesting." Sai said, giving a smile. Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura fell over anime style. Naruto got up again, and started laughing. "THATS YOUR NICKNAME! SNAKEY! HAHAHAHA!" Naruto yelled, laughing as well. Sasuke hid a blush, by looking away. Sakura giggled.
"I forgot he called you that." she said. Yamato sweatdropped. He turned to Sasuke, and gave an akward smile. "Im trying to greet you as your temporary sensei, but seeing as you left the village..this is...akward?..." Yamato said, giving a freakishly scary smile. Naruto's eyebrows twitched. "Sasuke...meet Yamato sensei...he has the scariest eyes in the world..." he muttered. Sasuke's eye twitched. "I can see that.." he muttered back.
Sakura grinned. "Lets do intruducing ourselves AGAIN!" she said happily. "Senseis go first." Naruto said, remembering when he made Kakashi go first.
Yamato nodded. "My name is Yamato. Since Kakashi is not well, I am your sensei. I make you do missions. Okay, now someone else go." Yamato said. The original team 7 sweatdropped. "He is like Kakashi...he just tells us his name.." Sasuke muttered.
Sai smiled. "My name is Sai. I have learned to give people pet names, or nick names. My weapon of use is art. You will see what I mean, when we are in battle." Sai said, looking at Sasuke. I draw, or paint in free times." Sai said. (a/n: things are mixed in the manga. cuz yeah...nvm, i dont want to spoil anything. but this is NOT EXACTLY the way the manga goes. some things happen before, and yeah. what ever. cuz sai isnt this nice...at first..)
Naruto grinned. "Everyone knows me, but I wanna do it anyways. Naruto Uzumaki is the name! I still love ramen, and my dream, and goal, is to become hokage! I want to make my own jutsu some day, and have another battle with Sasuke someday. What I dont like, is Sai's nicknames!" Naruto yelled, pointing at Sai. Sai closed his eyes, and smiled. "My nicknames are just how I feel. I have dropped yours." Sai said.
Sasuke blinked. "What was Narutos?" he asked. Naruto sighed. "dckls wndr" he mumbled quietly. "What? This is the time where you should speak ...loudly.." Sasuke said. Naruto glared at him.
Sai smiled again. "I used to call him dickless wonder. But then, we went to a hot spring, and I found that-
"DONT WANNA HEAR!" Sasuke and Sakura yelled. Naruto blushed feriously, and crossed his arms, mumbling curse words at Sai.
"Alright! Sakura Haruno! My goal is to become stronger. I want to do great in medics, and to be a worthy kunoichi! Also, Im not very fond of Naruto's perverted jutsus, and Sai's UNWORTHY NICKNAMES!" Sakura yelled in Sai's face. Sai smiled again. "I wont call you it anymore. But I just thought that hag suited you." Sai said.
SILENCE...
"LET ME AT HIM!" Sakura yelled, under Sasuke's hold. She had chakra flowing in her hands. Sasuke couldnt let her punch him. "Wait... Since when do I care about a guy who calls him snakey?" he asked himself, and let Sakura go. Unfortunaly, Sasuke hold was so strong, that when he let go, Sakura dropped.
Sakura had chakra in her hands, so she quickly pushed them forward, and they hit the ground. It looked like she was doing a hand stand. She then pushed off the ground, and brought her hands backwards, doing a backflip. She landed on her feet, and grinned, with a peace sign. Naruto blinked.
"Whoa...she could of just pushed her hands off the ground, and land on her feet. But she did an extra flip. How could she do that? From a hand stand, her legs already in the air, she did a flip. YOU GO SAKURA!" Naruto yelled grinning. Sasuke smirked. Sakura scratched the back of her head. "I wasnt that great. Anyways, now you Sasuke kun." Sakura said. Sasuke's smirk dissapeared. As well as Naruto's grin.
"Uchiha Sasuke...I..." he said quietly, looking around. Sakura and Naruto gazed at him, letting him know its alright to go ahead. "Uchiha Sasuke." he repeated. "I made a mistake, that is the worst of any. I left my friends, and betrayed my village. I went to an S-class saanin criminal. I came back, and my goal is still there. To kill him. But also, to re live the memories of Naruto and Sakura, now that I am here." he said. Sakura looked away, and quickly wiped a small tear. Yamato nodded. Sai smiled gently, and Naruto gave a sad smile.
Sasuke closed his eyes. Yes...things change...so many times...
He opened them, and found Sakura, Naruto, and Sai already walking off. Yamato nodded again. "Were you zoned out or something? I said we are going to the hokage. She is going to announce that your back." Yamato said. Sasuke groaned. "We are going back to her again? Why does the whole village have to know at once!" he yelled frusterated. The hokage was probably going to tell the whole village he needed ANBU members with him. He would be ignored. Just like Naruto was.
------------------
Sasuke took of his shoes, and lay on his bed. It was past midnight, and tomorrow was the day. The whole village would figure out he was back. Some people already saw, and as guessed, was gasped at, and ignored at once.
FLASHBACK
I want you to be at in my office tomorrow at 10:00am SHARP!" Tsunade yelled.
Sasuke mumbled curse words. "Is that too early, or late Mr.I wanna come back." Tsunade asked angrily. "Shes a bit drunk." Naruto whispered.
"If people cheer, alright then. If not...Naruto, Sakura...push him aside, and I will continue talking about further news." Tsunade explained.
END OF FLASHBACK
Sasuke slowly closed his eyes. He drifted off to sleep, having the strangest dream.
"Sasuke kun!" Sakura yelled. She was wearing a yellow jester hat, and was wearing elf shoes. Naruto was balancing a bowl of ramen on his head. "SASUKE! IM GONNA BE THE NEXT KAZEKAGE!" he yelled. Sasuke smiled, and put some lipstick around his eyes. "LOOK AT ME! IM GAARA! HAHAHAH!" he yelled. Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke burst into fits of laughter. In a small corner, was Gaara crying his eyes out.
Sasuke shot straight up, his forehead sweating. "What the fuck..." he muttered. He lay down again, but his eyes gazed up at the ceiling. He turned to look outside, and there was a dark ANBU member figure, squishing his face against the window. Sasuke cursed colourful language, and threw a kunai at the window. The window cracked, but not broken fully.
The ANBU member slowly slid open the window. "Is there something wrong?" he asked. Sasuke glared at him, and shook his head. "You just scared the shit...nothing.." he muttered. Like an Uchiha could admit he was scared.
