Warning: Plotting, long Challenges, the fact that it is 1:30 am here I can't think straight... me not a late night stayer upper.
Chapter 13: Time Skip!Naruto ran down the street, pushing past the large crowed of people. He was late again for his training with Sasuke. They had been roommates since he could remember, and with his memory... that wasn't a lot. He jumped up and over an old lady bending down to pick up something and rounded a corner. With a crash he ran into Sasuke sending both of them flying a few feet away. "Get off! Naruto!"
Sasuke growled at the blonde. "Hehe, sorry Sasuke, didn't see you there." Naruto laughed as he got up. They were now 12 years old and were about to start the chunin exams, all they needed was Sakura to agree and then they were in for sure. Naruto looked around them to see if he could spot the pink haired girl.
"So, have you seen Sakura?" Naruto asked.
"Why should I care, that girl is just slowing us down anyway... we'd be train now if it hadn't been for her." Naruto's cheeks went red.
"Well it's not her fault!" Naruto protested.
"Teh." Sasuke said and walked past Naruto to the bridge where they met their teacher, Kakashi, everyday.
Naruto started to wave when he caught a glimpse of pink coming towards them. Sasuke didn't bother looking up, he hated that girl, she just got in the way, he didn't know how Naruto could like HER.
"Hey, hey, Sakura!" Naruto shouted but as Sakura ran onto the bridge she just ignored Naruto and ran to Sasuke.
"Hey Sasuke-kun, sorry I was late, I was having a bad hair day." Sasuke looked up at the pink hair in front of him. 'Who could have a good hair day with that hair?' He thought.
Naruto ran over to the two and jumped up onto the bridge railing beside Sasuke. "So, so, where do you think Kakashi is?" He asked.
"Probably got lost on road of life again." Sasuke muttered. Naruto giggle and Sasuke smiled a little. Sakura didn't hear but started to laugh right along... loudly.
"Hahahaha, your so funny Sasuke-kun!" She gasped.
The three looked up when they saw Kakashi sitting up on one of the polls. Naruto suddenly had a flash go through his mind like he had seen that scene before... somewhere.
"Yo, sorry I'm late, A little old lady fell down on my way over, she claimed that someone kicked her... or something."
"LIER!" Sakura screamed at him. Naruto usually joined but this time he blushed and remembered the little old lady he jumped over this morning.
Sasuke looked over at Naruto with a worried expression. They had been very close since Naruto moved in when they were younger. Sasuke was very protective of Naruto, but Naruto never seemed to notice. Naruto laughed and said that nothing was wrong when he saw Sasuke looking at him. Sasuke shrugged and let it drop... for now.
"Okay." Kakashi said as they walked to the training ground. "Are you all going for the chunin exams?" He asked. Naruto and Sasuke nodded but Sakura staid quiet.
"I don't know..." She said. "I don't know if I'm strong enough."
"Teh, of course your not, but we need a third member of the team, and if you don't do it, who will?"
-X-
Later that day Saukra had decided to not do the chunin exams, leaving Naruto and Sasuke on their own. "T-That girl!" Sasuke growled and kick a stone on the path the two now walked. "She's... she's just so- ARG!" He kicked one even harder and it skidded into the bushes. They heard a yelp and the two looked at each other. "Who's there!" Sasuke called out.
Naruto stepped back a little behind Sasuke, it was something he used to do when he was younger. Sasuke had always protected him.
"Come out now or I'm coming in to get you." Sasuke shouted.
"Okay! Jeez kid!" A man came out of the bushes. He had dark red hair and a long black cloak on. Naruto's face did not change much to Sasori disappointment. They had been looking for Naruto for so long and just last year they finally tracked him down (A/N: I know that sounds stupid but just bare with me!).
It took a while to think up a plan to get him back without scaring him but Deidara came up with one of the stupidest, yet ingenious plans ever. Though it did take a year to master but they now knew that this plan would work, they hoped.
Sasori raised his hands in a friendly way, showing that he was carrying no weapon. "I just moved here with my son, he's a ninja, he's been looking for a team but everyone is full." Naruto stepped up.
"A team?" He asked hopefully and looked over at Sasuke who was giving the new guy 'the look'.
Sasuke never trusted new people and by giving this guy 'the look' told Naruto that he REALLY did not like him. Sasori smirked, 'Just like his brother I see.' He thought. "That still doesn't explain why you were in the bushes."
Sasuke growled. "Oh, that? Well I dropped this in there." He pulled out a scroll. "It's my sons profile paper, I'm handing it into the hokage to get him a headband."
"Really?" Naruto said excitedly. "So, so he's going to need a team?" Sasori smiled, the boy had taken the bait.
"Yes, do you know anyone with an open spot for a member?"
"Yes!, us!"
"Oh, really?" Sasori was slightly surprised, he was just planning on getting his 'son' on a team close to Kaname but this is even better! "Well, I'll talk to the hokage and we will see!" Sasori said happily (faking).
-X-
Naruto paised up and down the bridge where they were going to meet the new member. But he was late.
"Why did you have to mention that to that guy?" Sasuke asked from his right. Sasuke hadn't been to thrilled about this idea, there was something about that guy from before that he couldn't trust, like this was all a lie.
Naruto stopped and tapped his foot. "What could be taking him!" He said and turned only to come face to face with a smiling longhaired blond boy.
-X-
Ohhhh your just DIEING to know who it is or what is the plan aren't you!? I think this it the first cliffhanger I've given out in this story so far!
Okay soooo in the last challenge I put up there is going to be written by Hisuka Uchiha!
Now on to other wonderful things! …. If I could think of any… you see I put a lot of my personality into this story… that's how you get all those stupid lines I make up… and the fact that Naruto is slow… like me. : (
Challenge! (And I'm literally are going to make this up on the spot!):
Sasori/Naruto… again… because there aren't many out there!
Sasori is a puppet given to Naruto for Christmas. (Self-assembly required) But just one look at it Naruto was freaked out, since he was only 12 and the puppet looked SCARY! Putting it in the closet he left it for a couple years not realizing that the puppet was alive and watching… since that day. Now at the age of 18 Naruto was moving out into University and was now going through his stuff. "What's this?" He asked and pulled out a large box covered in dust. Opening it he looked in shock at the puppet inside. It looked just like a human but in different pieces! Sitting down on the bed he looked over at the clock, it was 9:00 pm. Closing his bedroom door he pulled out the pieces one by one and laid them out on the bed. "Ummm… where are the instructions?" He asked and peeked inside the box to see nothing but dust. "Okay them how the hell do I put this toy together!?" He picked up the head and took a close look at it. The eyes were open and staring into Naruto's, light brownish red one blinked closely at Naruto's sky blue ones. Naruto gasped and threw the head across the room in panic. "Oh my god, did that doll just blink at me!?" He shouted in the empty room. There was a knock on his door. "Honey? Are you okay?" His mom asked through the locked door. "Y-yes, just… saw a spider!" "Oh okay dear, well I just wanted to tell you that me and your father are going out now to that late night movie." "Okay mom!" Naruto shouted, still looking at that head in shock. The footsteps moved away from his door and he heard the front door shut and lock. "Y-your not real are you?" He asked the head as if expecting an answer. The head just lay there on its side. "Huh, well maybe I was just imagining things… yes that's it." With that he walked over to the head and picked it up by the hair as if it would bite. "Okay, no coming to life while I work okay?" He ordered the head. He walked over to his bed and picked up what looked to be the torso. "Head is connected to the… torso… and the torso is connected to the…. Butt?" He looked around and saw the waist. "Hehehe, I'm attaching a butt…" He giggled and with one snap the 'butt' was connected to the torso. "Now the legs." He picked both up and looked at them in wonder. "Which one is right and left?" He asked and looked at the bottom of the foot to see a large L and R. "Well that makes sense." He said and put those on the puppet. "Now arms and hands and then you are all done!" He looked down at the puppet and gasped at the realization that this puppet was taller than HIM! "Lovely, the 'puppet' is even more dominate looking than me… how will I ever get Sakura to like me now? I'm short!" He snapped on the arms and hands and looked at his creation. Part of him wanted to yell, 'He's alive, He's alive! Muahahahaha!' But the other just questioned his sanity. "Now Mr. Puppet you need a name then you will be like a real boy." He thought and thought and thought…. And this will take forever so let's just skip shall we? "I'll call you Sasori, cause you look like a Sasori." He grinned and pulled the puppet up into a standing position. "Now Sasori, I have to go to bed, will you watch over me? My parents are out tonight and… well never mind… good night!" Naruto leaned over and turned off the light. Sasori waited till he heard normal breathing too slouch over against the wall with a sigh. 'I never thought I could be that still for so long, but now that he finally put me together.' He looked over at Naruto and smirked. 'You'll be mine… once I find a heart.'
Sorry that was long! If no one will write this I will after this one is done! "Hehe" I like it!
Cheerios!
