Sasuke finally found the dobe and he plopped down beside him eyeing his wrist. "Ra will be here soon" sasuke said in a small effort of comfort. naruto nodded as he rubbed his seal softly with his uninjured hand.
"Thanks kurama" he said so softly that sasuke had to strain to here. Sasuke's eyes narrowed. So kurama was still on their side that was good.
"Dobe what happened?" Sasuke asked. He silently wondered who he had to chidori behind the blonde's back.
"The villagers attacked me or were going to and i jumped out the window to escape and messed up my landing". Naruto said sheepishly.
Sasuke bit his lip and silently wondered how much longer sakura would be. He knew his hokage/ best friend was in pain. An idea sparked in his little uchiha brain. Sasuke did a few rapid silent hand signs. Sasuke's hand hovered over naruto's wrist. Sasuke sent a shock of electricity right at naruto's wound. Naruto gasped as he felt a shock of pain before it went suddenly away.
"Sasuke how did you..?" Naruto trailed off amazed. Yes his wrist was still very much broken but the pain was gone now. It was just numb.
"I messed with your nerves a bit. Shocked them to the point of not being able to send impulses of pain to your brain. Relax Sakura will fix that damage as well" sasuke explained as he moved his hand back.
"Teme i do not have brain damage!" Naruto all but growled
"I don't know your genin days were questionable" sasuke replied.
Naruto smirked."and yours weren't? mister i must kill a certain someone"
"Fair point" sasuke conceded.
"Naruto..."sasuke said.
"Yes sasuke?" Naruto questioned.
"Why aren't we... dead?" Sasuke asked unable to refrain from asking.
Naruto bit his bottom lip. That was a good question. In fact that thought had never crossed his mind. Why weren't they dead? He had no clue whatsoever to that question.
Naruto shrugged. "I don't know" he replied. Naruto scratched his head. Thinking hurt his brain.
"Why don't you ask kura?" Sasuke suggested. Hopefully the fox would have some answers. Naruto bit his lip and shook his head no.
"Why the hell not!?" Sasuke asked irritated. The small uchiha crossed his arms. His nose scrunched up and his lower lip jutted into a pout. Naruto resisted the urge to laugh. Who knew that the teme could be classified as cute.
"Stop laughing and tell me dobe" sasuke growled. He knew exactly what naruto was thinking and he wished the blonde wasn't hokage so he could punch that ridiculous- sasuke grinned as his fist connected with Naruto's face.
"Ow! Teme what was that for!"
"Uchiha's. Are. Not. Cute. Dobe." Sasuke said gazing around for any sign's of attention was back on naruto as he shot back. Naruto's fist colliding with the palm of sasuke's hand as he tried to punch him. Sasuke gave him a bored look. He poked naruto in the forehead.
"You can't do that i'm the hokage!" Naruto exclaimed rubbing the spot.
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Not anymore Dobe! Guess what we're four which means your not hokage" sasuke said almost triumphantly. The triumph faded as naruto's shoulder's sagged the reality of their situation hitting the usually hyper active blonde. He pulled his hand out of sasuke's palm almost shying away from the uchiha.
"Naruto?" Sasuke questioned softly. He cursed himself. That was a low blow even by their standards.
"Your right. But that just means we have to try even harder to get back to where we were right?" Naruto questioned back his bright smile returning as sasuke's hand was on his right shoulder. Naruto once again rubbed his seal in a calming circle. Sasuke this time noticed. "Is something wrong with kura?" Sasuke asked noticing the soothing motion naruto was making.
"He's angry at me for dying... He's in a mood right now" naruto answered glumly. The uzumaki had grown quite close with the fox.
"Can i try?" Sasuke asked naruto as sakura finally appeared falling through a bush.
"Try what ke?" Sakura asked crawling over to naruto as she immediately set to work healing naruto's wrist silently noting the feeling of sasuke's chakra in the wound. He must have done the nerve thing he made up when madara attacked. He got the idea for the jutsu from the raikage's lightening armor and tsunade's fight with kabuto that the hokage had blabbed about as naruto assigned him an s rank mission of making sure the sannin got home safe much to his annoyance. Tsunade was as loud as naruto when drunk!
"Naruto let me ask kura what's going on... He'll talk to me." Sasuke suggested kneeling in front of the blonde sharingon activating.
"I don't think it's a good idea teme" naruto sighed. He sounded like he had a mountain of paper work and couldn't make a shadow clone to do it for him.
"How are your protectors supposed to figure out how to deal with this problem if we're not on the same page?" sasuke queried.
"It's not a good idea teme.." Naruto said with a gasp as sakura snapped his wrist back in place now perfectly healed.
"To let Ke talk to Kura. He'll be fine kura likes him" sakura soothed rubbing naruto's hand.
Naruto nodded reluctantly lifting his head. Blue orbs met blood red and sasuke entered naruto's mind scape.
"I still don't understand the sewer theme To" sasuke said walking toward him. "I don't either.." Naruto replied.
"It's your head can't you change it?"sasuke questioned as they walked together toward the cage.
"It's been this way for so long that i'm not sure i want to anymore" he replied.
"Kurama what happened to us?" Sasuke asked now standing in front of kurama who was glaring at naruto. Sasuke noticing this stepped protectively in front of the blonde.
"You were all saved!" Kurama replied.
"Saved by what?" Sasuke asked.
Kurama laughed. "Still so much curiosity in you young uchiha"
"Saved by what?" He repeated. Sasuke was in no mood to chit chat. He had to get back before itachi wakes up and notices he'a missing.
Kurama sighed. "Call it what you will fate, destiny, the sage of six paths, God... Whatever deity there is out there decided to give you three a second chance. A chance for your wishes to come true."
"Wish?" Sasuke whispered.
"The stars..." Naruto murmered.
Sasuke's eyes widened as it clicked. "So fate sent us here to change the past in order to protect the future?"
Kurama nodded. "Correct young uchiha"
"But where do we start!" Naruto complained.
"Kit i don't have all the answers! If you ever die again i will burn konoha to the ground just to spite you for leaving understand?!"
"Aaw i love you to kura!" Naruto exclaimed hugging his snout.
"Uchiha get him off me" kurama commanded.
"Naruto i have an idea let's talk with ra"sasuke said.
Naruto kissed kurama before sasuke yanked him forcefully away from the fox who pawed at his snot trying to get the human cooties off of him.
Naruto grinned as sasuke snickered.
"Best human thing we ever told kurama about" naruto giggled.
"Hn" sasuke agreed.
"Well?" Sakura asked as both boys blinked waking from the genjutsu.
"Short version or long version?" Naruto asked.
"Short" sakura answered.
"We have a chance to fulfill our dying wishes and save the future" naruto said.
"How do we do that?" Sakura questioned.
"My clan" sasuke said folding his hands together.
"Wait we're not taking out madara, danzo, kabuto, and orochimaru?" Naruto asked. The blonde couldn't believe what just came out of his anbu captains mouth. He would've thought he wanted to torture and slowly murder those three.
"No, well not yet at least" sasuke said.
"Ke why wouldn't we kill them right now they ruined everything!" Sakura hissed. Her emerald eyes were cold. Afterall she was the one to pronounce most of their friends dead because of them.
"Kabuto was a lost soul we just have to make him betray orochimaru and join us. He would be a useful spy for the leaf. Madara is already dead. We just have to introduce sensei to the nut in the swirly mask and i gain another cousin. Orochimaru and danzo are in positions of power. They are working together and using my clan for their own personal gains. Unless we can expose them my clan is going to die and that isn't happening again." Sasuke said making naruto and sakura stare at him wide eyed and gaping like fish.
"What?" The uchiha questioned. It was uncomfortable to be stared at like that from his teammates.
"That was the most words you have ever said in a row" sakura choked out.
"You don't want revenge?" Naruto said voice above a whisper.
"My clan is alive, i have my team, we're four so we get to do whatever we want until we can get into the academy at six, the village is still standing and all of our friends are alive and well. What is their to avenge?" Sasuke questioned.
Naruto's blue eye's watered and sasuke yelped as he was yanked into a hug as his best friend cried tears of joy. "Nnygh" sasuke grunted awkwardly patting naruto's back as sakura awed. The scene was just too adorable.
"If we don't kill those four then what do we do?" Sakura asked making sure the boys stayed on topic.
"We improve my clan's relation's with the other clan's of the village. Regain their trust. After that we have the other clan's hold a meeting with the hokage where we somehow expose danzo and bring obito back to the village. Once he's out of the way my clan won't be in need of the coup and itachi won't need to slaughter everybody before my eyes again." Sasuke explained.
"You've certainly thought this through teme" naruto commented once he was sure the uchiha finished.
"After I discovered the truth of itachi i had a lot of time to think" the uchiha said with a flick of his wrist.
"Clearly" sakura muttered.
"So what do you think?" Sasuke asked his teammates.
"I like it. Spares multiple lives, easy to remember, and offers a second chance to some bad dudes" naruto said beaming at his anbu captain. He was finally embracing his light side rather than the dark.
"Seconded you always have good plans sasuke" sakura said in agreement.
"Wait how do we meet when...?" Sakura trailed.
Huh? Oh that's easy the loner uchiha child is going to befriend the shunned orphan of the fourth hokage followed closely by the curious civillian who desperately wants to become a medic ninja." Sasuke said smirking.
"You sly bastard" naruto grinned.
"What can i say i am itachi's younger brother"
"When do we do this?" Sakura questioned.
"Ummm i say we give you a couple days maybe a week... In order for my plan to work you need ino to not be a fangirl and befriend you as quickly as possible before you suddenly pop into my little friend bubble. I wasn't a very social child so we need to ease into it. Same with my clan. While you do that i have the troublesome task of getting my family to open up to the carrier of the demon fox." Sasuke said giving naruto a playful nudge.
"Your dad is not going to be happy" naruto noted.
"That's the fun part" sasuke grinned.
"See you boy's in a week" sakura said getting off the ground and brushing off her green dress.
"Bye ra!"
"No fangirling"
"Love you two!" She said walking back toward the village.
"So how do we meet?" Naruto questioned.
"Okay dobe here's what we're gonna do..."
