-1A/N: I DON'T OWN NARUTO

Previously:

"You have no idea what we've been through!" he roared. "Not what--" Neji stopped and clenched his hands. "She went through…"

Neji muttered the last part but Sasuke caught that and looked up at him clutching his stomach. Neji looked at Sasuke menacingly.

"Don't think you will have another chance to do what you did to Len because if you do…well I don't care if I get punished when I kill you." he warned as he slammed the door shut.

"Who the fuck was he talking about?" Sasuke coughed.

Surprise!

The Hidden Village of the Leaves…the name doesn't suit it anymore now that the new Konoha is underground. Changing the name would be too hard to just forget about their lives above. Some wondered why the Hokage wanted it to be this way. The buildings, roads, Ichiraku shack to be exactly where they were supposed to be. Nothing changed besides the Hokage heads not being behind the hokage tower. Only that the giant wooden gates were opposite of the tower.

"I don't know if you would call this peaceful or not."

The door to the Hokage office opened and the person looking out the window turned around.

"Lord Hokage." said Sakura walking in.

"Sakura-chan, that sounds so weird."

"This is what you get for becoming Hokage, Naruto." she giggled. Naruto smiled and touched the rim of his headdress.

"Sakura-chan, what do you have for me?" he asked. Sakura held some files and let them drop on his desk. With a loud thud, Naruto sighed. "Hey Sakura-chan, is there any word from the Sand shinobi siblings yet?" Sakura shook her head.

"I'm afraid not. I'm guessing they are still gathering allies from the other nations still."
"Hmmm, if they don't report back in 3 days, send one of the teams to locate them."

"Understood Lord Hokage." she said.

"Sakura-chan, is Gaara okay in the next tunnel?" he asked.

"He says they are fine. Also the underground lake is overflowing from the rain."

"Lousy weather, it's always raining." Naruto said. "Is there anyway to run the extra water into tanks?"

"They are all full." Sakura said. Naruto took off the headdress and his ears twitched.

"This is frustrating!" he shouted. "What about the tanks in the other tunnels?"

"Full." she said. "What if we pump it back up to the surface?"

"Is it raining?" he asked.

"No."

"Then we can't. What if someone were to travel here and wonder why the surface area is wet? That would be suspicious. We can't reveal our location…yet." Naruto's ears twitched back and Naruto gasped and hid under the desk.

"Lord Hokage, what are you--"

"HEY HOKAGE!" shouted a tall 18 year old. His long scarf was still as lons as ever on him ever since his child hood and the goggles were gone in place of a Konoha headband.

"Konohamaru, what do you need?" Sakura asked.

"Hokage said he would take Udon, Moegi, and I to the surface!" he shouted excitedly. "I can't wait to see the sky again! Where is he?" he asked walking in and searching the room. There was a loud thud and a cry of pain.

"OW!" shouted Naruto under the desk.

"Found you Hokage!" Konohamaru shouted leaning over the desk. "You ready?"

"I'm busy Konohamaru." Naruto said crawling out from under the desk. "That hurt." he muttered.

"Hokage, you promised! I've been looking forward to this day for ages!"

"Konohamaru, the village might flood if I don't take care of it!" he shouted in excuse.

"You're over exaggerating." Sakura said and Naruto looked at her.

"Work with me here." he muttered to her through a false serious expression to Konohamaru.

"Hokage…Naruto, I will deal with the problem of the water. Take them to the surface." Sakura said softly. Naruto noticed Sakura's facial expression grow into a sadder one. Seeing the surface was important, even to him as he couldn't just sit in one place at all. This was not of his nature and sure enough neither was it for Konohamaru.

"Half an hour." Naruto said. "And we're back here with no excuses."

"We're all set Lord Hokage!" Konohamaru said excitedly and ran out of the room.

"How long has it been since he's seen the sky?" Naruto asked.

"About 5 years." Sakura sighed. "It's a bit painful."

"Why Sakura-chan?" he asked.

"Well, not being able to still be a kid…Let's just say, he was forced to grow up." Naruto understood what she meant.

"Yeah…maybe that's why he wants to see the surface so much." he stood up and took off the white outer layer coat and then came was dressed in his orange outfit that he still wore when he was 15. "Thanks Sakura."

"Be careful baka." she joked. Naruto only put his hand on her shoulder before he left. "Just be the one to not leave him Naruto…"

In the outskirts of the ruins, a pack of missing nins traveled closer and closer.

"You sure one of the bounties are in the ruins?" said one.

"That's what I gathered from the last village."

"It's hard to find information in the Sound Village though."

"We were lucky to just run into an official."

"Shut up! You're all annoying."

"Sorry leader."

"Now then, split up into two squads and search the entire place."

"Osu!" they said as they disappeared from the main road into the forests.

"Come on, hurry up!" Konohamaru said.

"Stop pushing Konohamaru!" Naruto shouted.

"Sorry Lord Hokage." he apologized and stopped but was bumped forward by Udon and then Moegi. Naruto stumbled forward and they smiled nervously.

"We're here." Naruto said as they came to an incline of the land. He stepped on the slope and then put his hands on the ceiling, pushing up the thick block of cement. Fine dust fell from the cracks as he went up first and then the others followed after. Naruto closed the entrance surfacing to the old academy they attended.

"Remember, half an hour." Naruto said.

"Hai!"

"And stay within the village bounds."

"Hai!"

"Get going." he said.

"Come on Udon, Moegi!" Konohamaru said as he ran out first.

"Wait up Konohamaru!" Udon said and the two followed after. Naruto crossed his arms and smiled.

"Enjoy yourselves." he said.

"Pump the water into the extra tanks!" Sakura ordered.

"Sakura-chan!" she turned around and Shizune ran over to her.

"Oh Shizune-san, what are you doing here?" Shizune was panting and then stood straight.

"Tsunade-sama wanted to know why you weren't at the hospital right now."

"Naruto wanted my to help put away the extra water." she said.

"Oh, and also." her expression sort of came serious. "Tsunade-sama wanted to know if she could speak with…you know." Sakura blinked at her and then clutched the clipboard she was holding.

"Why does she want to speak with him?" she asked with derision.

"She wanted to understand something she had on her mind." she answered.

"You will have to ask Lord Hokage but…I'm sure it would be alright since it's Tsunade-sama." Sakura assured.

"Then I will go inform her." Shizune then walked back the way she came. Sakura released her hold on the clip board that left a dent mark bending the documents also.

"Oh man!" she said unclipping the papers and trying to smooth out the wrinkles.

Footsteps were heard from outside the door and the door slowly opened. Sasuke laid on the bed looking at the ceiling and tapping the panel on his stomach that was under his shirt making tapping sounds. He didn't bother to look at the visitor who shut the door.

"Still alive?" Sasuke asked.

"Apparently." Tsunade said. "It sounds like a bad thing."

"Annoying how you don't just die at your proper age hag." that ticked her off easily but she kept her cool. Tsunade looked like her normal self, probably still using her certain jutsu to look young. She took Sasuke's chair and sat down casually. "How long has it been?"

"What do you want?" he snapped. She smirked and tapped on the armrest.

"You know I don't appreciate those terms."

"Like I care." he said.

"Orochimaru sure taught you some manners. Grow up."

"I'm an adult." he said. "Are you here to criticize me too?" his eyes traveled to the old hokage and she smiled.

"Just some questions I want to understand."

"I most likely won't care or just not want to answer."

"Fine." she answered shortly. "From all this time, are you still pursuing Itachi?"

"I won't repeat myself." Sasuke replied.

"What if you were to kill Itachi, then what?" Sasuke just stared at her with blank eyes. "Will you try and ask forgiveness?"

"…What ever interests me, I will pursue it." he replied.

"Interesting." Tsunade smirked.

"Udon!" Moegi called and the domed hair shaped boy turned around and sniffed. "Where's Konohamaru?" he shifted his eyes to the ground and sadly looked above to the demented cliffs that once bared the five hokage heads. Their faces were destroyed but the plateau above was still intact.

"I hope he's okay up there." sniffed Udon wiping his glasses with her super long sleeves. The two friends worriedly waited at the base of the cliff hoping to give Konohamaru some time to himself.

The plateau had a few broken tiles and if you were to walk further down, there sat the grave of the Third hokage and a small tablet smaller to which lay Asuma.Konohamaru stood before the two staring at them with a blank expression but with depressed eyes.

"It's been a while Third Hokage…Father." he whispered. "I've grown up…that much is for certain. Wish you guys could see me but you just had to be KIA'ed…"

(Killed In Action)

Konohamaru stared at the graves knowing that tears wouldn't solve anything but….

"It's hard to be brave…especially now." he sniffed as he quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve. Droplets of tears that he couldn't catch fell on the graves before him and spread to make small wet spots.

000000000000000

"Captain, there are some figures on top of the cliff!" one of the missing nins called.

"Tori, take Pakka with you to check it out. If it's who we're looking for, kill them and bring the bodies."

"Osu!" he replied and disappeared.

Two figures climbed up the cliff and jumped up to the plateau where Konohamaru was wiping his tears. They walked forward until they were a close distance from him and the graves.

"Konohamaru, you okay?" Moegi asked worriedly. He quickly regained his composure and turned around with his thumb up to them.

"What are you talking about? I'm just visiting that's all." he assured. "Anyway we should get back to Lord Hokage before he gets pissed." the two friends looked at each other.

"Alright Konohamaru!" Udon said and Moegi nodded.

In an instant, kunai flew down out of no where and they jumped back. Konohamaru stood on the upper mountain where the graves were and then two shinobi jumped out form no where smirking.

"They're just kids." said one of them with a patched eye. The other looked at Konohamaru closely. His eyes rose to his headband and then was completely flabbergasted.

"Tori, those are Konoha headbands!" Konohamaru touched his forehead and was wide eyed.

"Shit!" he shouted.

"They're going to be wanted by Orochimaru. We'll be settled for life!"

"Udon, Moegi, run!" Konohamaru shouted as he took out kunai and threw it at the two. The shinobi jumped back from the attack and the other with a katana unsheathed it and looked to his partner.

"Pakka, take care of the other two!"

"Like you can baka!" Konohamaru said as he unraveled his scarf, slipping his hand in a metal handle at one end and kunai blades at the other. He threw his scarf that wrapped around the katana and grasped it out of his hands. The sword flew to the side as Konohamaru landed withdrawing his scarf weapon.

"Pakka!" Tori shouted but was tied in wire held by Moegi and Udon's sleeves exposed metal gauntlets with long claws at the end at his neck.

"Surrender or else." Moegi said to Tori. Suddenly, Moegi's restraints on Pakka were cut and they looked too reinforcements.

"Kuso!" Konohamaru said as he ran to Udon and Moegi. They were back to back as they were surrounded by 6 shinobi.

"This isn't good!" Udon gulped.

"What're we going to do Konohamaru?" Moegi panicked.

00000000000

"Times practically up." Naruto said jumping down the desk in front of the old classroom. As soon as he got up the desk fell to pieces. Dust flew up everywhere and he sneezed. "Where are they?"

Suddenly, his ears twitched and he quickly hid watching the door. Footsteps were heard coming down the hall and then the missing shinobi nins entered the classroom looking around.

"I swear I heard someone here."

"There's no one here man, let's get out of here."

"Wait a second." said one of them as they walked to the old desk. He kneeled down and then picked up a piece of paper. The guy smirked and looked to his companions.

"Check this out!" the shinobi gathered around the picture of an old photograph. Naruto was concealed above them and gasped as he saw the picture patting his pockets silently. Suddenly, he could feel himself being lowered as he looked to the ceiling moving downwards.

"Kuso!" he muttered as he jumped down knocking two of them too the floor.

"HOLY SHIT!" shouted the others as they looked upon Naruto. Naruto took his photograph and glared at them baring his teeth.

"You're not leaving." he growled as he leaped towards them but suddenly, the ceiling collapsed.

"GAH!" the screamed as the building's ceiling fell onto them. Naruto was quick on his feet as he stood against the wall to avoid the crash.

"What is going on?" there was a sudden crash and he looked out the window beside him too the plateau on the cliff. Smoke was rising from the site and he quickly jumped out of the broken window.

"This isn't good Konohamaru!" Udon called as he knocked down two shinobi with his clawed gauntlets. Moegi quickly knocked out a missing nin aiming for Udon.

"What kind of weapon is that?" said Tori.

"This is a special weapon I created." Konohamaru said as his long scarf constricted him. "Made of thinly made wire filled with my chakra." he then pulled him in and then right hooked his cheek with his fist. "Moegi, we have to find them all!"

"Right." she said but suddenly she was bound to the floor. "What?" she fell forward on her hands she pushed herself back up and looked to her feet which were bound by stone slowly engulfing her legs.

"Moegi!" Udon cried and was about to run over but the same situation occurred to him and also Konohamaru.

"Genjutsu!" Konohamaru cursed as the unconscious shinobi slowly turned into rubble. Out of the middle of the three, from the stone was a laughing Tori with crossed arms.

"You think little pests like you could actually take on shinobi like us?" he sneered.

"GAH!"

"HELP!"

"AHHHHHHHHH!" Tori looked around and so did the trio of teens. The genjutsu was released and Tori laid on the ground unconcious while his fellow companions were dead. Although on Naruto not lay a single stain of blood but some traveled dirt he was patting off.

"Naruto!" the three said.

Back at the academy, the rogue shinobi started to gain consciousness but wondered where the hell they were.

"Oiy! Where are you lazy idiots!" the captain bellowed.

"Down here sir!" cried the shinobi as they tried to regain their balance. The ceiling's rubble was removed and jumped down the rest of the band.

"What is this?" he demanded.

"Sir, there are Konoha shinobi here!" cried one of them. The captain stared at him blankly.

"That's preposterous…they're all dea--" he didn't continue as he peered down the dark tunnel behind the injured shinobi. There in the tunnel hung dim lights and he looked to his troops. "Men, we are going to be set for life if we find surviving Konoha shinobi. Lord Orochimaru will be thrilled!"

"Osu!" they cried and entered the tunnel.

000000000000000

Tsunade only watched Sasuke as he lay on the bed.

"This boy…from all that happened so many years ago…he really is a bastard." she confessed in her thoughts.

"Are you done? You're annoying…who are you?" she was startled for a second and the next was twitching her eyebrow angrily.

"I was the fifth hokage."

"…Was? Oh yeah, you're the bitch that idiot was looking for." Tsunade was using all her will power not to pulverize Sasuke right then and there since she wasn't Hokage anymore.

"So, then who's the six--"

Suddenly, bells were ringing loudly through the room and Tsunade stood up rushing to the door. Swinging it open, the bells grew loudly as the high pitched noise rang throughout the village.

"This is not good!" Tsunade said as villagers in the villager scrambled into the nearest buildings and lock their doors. Sasuke didn't look all that interested but kept an eye on the open door and the outside. Tsunade turned too Sasuke and then looked to the village. "I will be back." she quickly shut the door and her footsteps died. He lay back continuing what he did before he was interrupted.

"Everyone, into the buildings!" Kiba shouted as he and Akamaru ran through the clearing streets. Up ahead he could see his old companion, hiding her daughter into one of the neighboring buildings. "Hinata!" looked up to Kiba stopping in front of her. "What the hell is going on?!"

"There's someone coming, we have to get to the gate." she urged. Kiba quickly grabbed her hand and threw her on Akamaru as he sat in front of her.

"Let's go Akamaru!" the large dog barked and they were off. The streets were clear in a matter of minutes and shinobi were readying themselves behind the gate and in front of the wooden doors. Shikamaru stood giving directions and looking as though he was really wishing to be somewhere else.

"Squad 4, 5, and 8 separate throughout the village at equal distances if they are to enter the village." the small groups of shinobi separated into the village and he looked to the giant dog holding two more on its back.

"Shikamaru!" Kiba called jumping off Akamaru and running to him. "Why are they here? There is nothing left of the old Konoha!"

"I don't know Kiba, but most of the squads have gone to search for allies and recruits. I need you and Hinata to go through the other tunnels to stop them."

"What about Naruto?" Hinata asked worriedly.

"Who knows hell where he is." he muttered and put his hand on her shoulder. "Just follow my instructions and take the dark tunnels. Use your Byakugan and smell to find your way too them."

"Okay." the two quickly sprinted in two directions beyond the fence and disappeared.

"Naruto, where the hell are you?" he mumbled angrily. "This is so troublesome without you here."

Suddenly, the giant doors burst open and shinobi ran in.

"Captain, this can't be--"

"KONOHA!" he bellowed. It was silent as they looked upon the village. "Find anything that would be of value to Orochimaru."

"Osu!" they scattered after his command and the captain aimed towards what was most important that he could think of, the Hokage tower.

"Shikamaru when?" mouthed Kakashi under his mask. Shikamaru put up a hand and stared at the captain take upon his new found discovery and then the captain jumped into the air and onto the roofs towards the Hokage tower. As soon as they were a good distance did Shikamaru look to the shinobi behind the fence.

"Close and the doors! They won't escape!" the shinobi rushed up towards the gates and Shikamaru looked to Kakashi. "Alright let's go." he drawled.

0000000000000000

"Tsuuga!"

"Gah!" gasped the rogue shinobi that fell to Kiba's attack.

"Akamaru!"

"Gah!" Akamaru had bit into one of the shinobi and drops of blood hung from his fangs. Kiba jumped onto Akamaru and the two traveled towards the end of the tunnel using their noses in the darkness to pick out anymore rogues. They ran towards the entrance and then out to the main passage from the many other tunnels. Just in the same moment, Hinata came from a neighboring tunnel and they both looked to someone else coming from the entrance to the academy.

As soon as the strangers fell in the entrance did they pounce on them.

"Hey! What's the big idea!?" shouted Konohamaru.

"Yeah!" Moegi and Udon added.

"Oh, I-I'm s-so sorry. We thought you were the rogues." Hinata stuttered.

"I guess our sense of battle over took us, right Akamaru?"

"Bark!"

"You guys…" they all looked to the bottom of the pile where Naruto rested his cheek on his palm tapping on the ground. "How do I always end up on the bottom? I came in last!"

"Sorry Hokage!" they all said as they scrambled up. Naruto brushed the dirt off his orange suit and flicked his tails.

"Kiba, what is the situation?" he asked.

"The rogues have entered Konoha and are currently locked inside. The only way out is the tunnels but Hinata and I took care of that."

"Naruto, what about the nins outside?" Hinata asked.

"I took care of it. Don't worry about it Hinata." he assured her. She only nodded in reply and he looked to Kiba. "Make sure to keep the Captain alive."

"Yeah." he said and Akamaru agreed with him.

"Let's go!" Naruto said and they followed him into one of the dark tunnels. After a quick run and being able to avoid deadly traps they had set up just in case, they reached Konoha. There were some bodies on the buildings but most activity occurred near the Hokage tower.

"Naruto!" Hinata gasped.

"What is it Hinata?" he asked.

"I had Len hide in the Hokage tower." she said.

"What?" he said and was soon off.

"Wait up Hokage!" Konohamaru followed with Moegi and Udon.

"Hinata, Kiba, assist with the defense." Naruto called back to them.

"Hai!" the replied.

"Hokage, how are we going to get them?" Konohamaru asked. Naruto was thinking for a minute until he twitched his ears and looked up to the cells on the railings. One in paticular opened and out stepped an irritated captive. Naruto stopped flabbergasted and growled.

"Hokage, I thought you said he wouldn't come out!" Moegi gasped. Naruto seemed pissed and stamped his foot angrily.

"DAMN SASUKE!" he shouted. "He thinks he's all good and comes out anyway!"

"Hokage!" Udon said and he looked to shinobi crossing streets to the tower.

"Come." he ordered and they dashed.

"So what's the plan?" Konohamaru asked.

"…Stop them at all costs what else?" Udon looked at Naruto and then looked to the overflowing tanks of water. At that moment, an idea struck him.

"Hey Konohamaru, I got an idea." said Udon. He started to whisper his idea and Konohamaru's face was a sly smile.

"Hey Hokage, we got a plan."

"What is it?" he asked.

"Just get the shinobi to run towards the water tanks." he said as he directed his friends to the other direction.
"Alright, I trust you Konohamaru!" he called as he entered the battle.

0000000000

"WHAH!" Lee shouted as he jabbed a shinobi in the stomach and turn his body kicking him into the side sending him flying.

"Nice one Lee." Tenten called as she threw a battle axe into the back of a nin.

"Thanks Tenten." he replied.

"Naruto!" cried Ino. They looked up to the speck of blonde and orange jumpsuit, even though it wasn't hard to miss.

"Don't worry, your Hokage is here." he said proudly but was jabbed in the head by the angry Ino.

"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!?" she shouted.

"Not now Ino!" Chouji said to her holding her arms and waist and moving her to the side.

"Ow." Naruto groaned rubbing his head and his ears twitched. "Never mind that, we have to get the nins to the water tanks."

"Why?" Tenten asked.

"Konohamaru has a plan."

"…"

"Trust me, it's great!…even though I don't know what it is." they all sighed.

"You better be right Hokage." Ino glared at him.

The news traveled through the Konoha shinobi as they attacked the nins towards the water tanks where the Konohamaru team planned to take care of them.

Sakura rampaged through the battle to protect the tower and many fled from her wrath that was equal to Tsunade's punch. She gathered chakra into her fist as a group of shinobi surrounded her. She didn't want to punch the ground as she was so near the tower that it would probably lean over from the damage. They came at her and she tried to make due with her situation but they kept piling in as the Captain took his chance towards the Hokage tower.

"Sakura!" she looked quickly above her and Naruto dropped onto two of the nins while two other clones separated the nins from Sakura.

"It's a monster!" shouted one of the nins as they fled. Naruto only smirked.

"Baka." he muttered. He then saw his two clones carry the unconscious Captain and they disappeared as Naruto dismissed them. "He'll be out for a while. Come on we have to get to the tanks."

"What for?"

"Just come!" they both sprinted off towards the tanks.

The missing nins ran towards the tanks as the Konoha shinobi chased them there. As they turned the corner, the Konoha shinobi stopped and the nins kept running.

"They've stopped!" called one of them as they all looked behind.

"Hey bakas!" they looked forward as Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi held a giant hose leading to the lake of extra filled water. "Let's party!" Udon quickly activated the hose as his gauntlet extended to the switch. They held on tight as gigantic amounts of water exploded from the hose and hit the nins the next moment. The Konoha shinobi backed up as they gazed at the flying nins about to crash into the wall and drown. When they did, Udon turned off the water and the shinobi waited until the water went down and look to the wall where the nins lay.

"Well, the water problem's solved." Kakashi said scratching his head and taking out his porno book. Naruto and Sakura quickly ran over and the shinobi all looked to them.

"What happened?" Sakura asked.

"We did it!" Konohamaru shouted as he and his friends ran around the corner jumping for joy. The Konoha shinobi just had to smile at Konohamaru and Naruto laughed.

The next moment, Sakura was gone from his side and they all looked to the roof of the nearest building where she was bound by the Captain they left at the Hokage tower. Sakura seemed to turn weak as a light blue chain the captain held.

"Y-You monster!" he shouted at Naruto pointing at him. "What are you?"
"Let her go!" he snapped ignoring his question.

"Oh I will let her go as soon as I take her back to Orochimaru!" Sakura stood limp and fell to her knees.

"Sakura!" shouted Neji angrily arriving at the scene with Shikamaru. Suddenly, blood spilled over the edge of the building and to the ground. The Captain was stabbed with a short sword and was then falling off the building. Sasuke stood there just looking down at them.

"WHAT?" Naruto said in total shock.

Sakura looked up to her savior and was wide eyed. She took out a rusted kunai and released the restraints.

"Sasuke?" she said. He then pushed her off the building and she was falling. Neji quickly kicked off the ground with chakra at his feet and caught Sakura in the air. They landed smoothly and he looked at Sasuke who was leaving.

"Everyone, search for the bodies of the nins." they looked to Naruto who jumped up on the building where Sasuke was.

"Well, you heard him." Kakashi said and scattered. Kakashi looked up to the building with a very curious look but went on Naruto's orders.

"SASUKE!" Naruto shouted and the traitor stopped and turned his head back to the Hokage.

"What? You said I can come out."

"Why did you save her!" he shouted. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"How the hell would I get this thing off without her chakra?" he said pointing to the panel on his stomach.

"…So that it?" Naruto said clenching his hands into fists. "There was no other reason?"

"…Was there supposed to be?" he replied. "I'm going back to the cell. There's no where else to go." He still had some chakra within him so putting it to his feet, and jumped to the railings.

00000000000

Sakura was taken to the hospital near the Hokage tower. She lay in bed and after a while, she fluttered her eyes.

"You're awake." she looked to her side and Neji stood up and sat next to her on the bed.

"Oh Neji, I had the weirdest dream. Sasuke saved me after I passed out." Neji said nothing and looked away from her. "It didn't happen…did it?"

Neji clutched his knees and she noticed the tension. "Neji?"

"He saved her?…I should have been the one to have saved her!"

"Damn Sasuke." he muttered under his breath.

NEXT TIME: Everything Starts Somewhere…

"This attack was has showed we aren't ready yet."…"I can't take it anymore!"…"Why?"

"Uncle Sasuke."

A/N: Yeah I updated, woot! So anyway comment or stuff…hiccup yeah I just gulped down a bottle of beer, I mean sake, I mean, gah!
