I don't own Naruto or anybody else.
Beware slight Sakura bashing but only for this chapter
Kyuubi's Fight
Chapter 3
Sasuke sat waiting for his sentence and news on Naruto and the others, his body was tired but his mind was wide-awake, unable to sleep 'til he knew that Naruto would be all right. It could have been hours or just minutes when someone came to see him, he wasn't sure. All he knew was that he had an opportunity to find out what is going on, the door opened to show a tired yet youthful Tsunade and an energetic Sakura, bouncing on her heels to see him. Sakura rushed to him and crashed sasuke in a hug bawling her eyes out, crying, "I was so worried." "Your back" "We can be together now" "Baka Naruto didn't hurt you! He's so pathetic you probably had to save him on your way back, when you got rid of the seal" "I knew you'd beat it." During her monologue Sasuke struggled to get out of her grasp and looked up to see the expression on Tsunade's face darkening in fury and when Sakura started in on Naruto veins ticked and fists clenched when it looked that she was about to knock some sense into her Sasuke spoke up. "Shut up!" and Sakura froze; Sasuke finally managed to pry her off and pushed her away. "Naruto saved me."… "I nearly killed him. Yet he never gave up on me."…"I came back for him."
Sakura was devastated he came back for Naruto. It was then Tsunade spoke "Haruno, leave now. You are banned from seeing Sasuke during the duration of his stay." Still shocked Sakura moved reluctantly towards the door "And one more thing, I'm re-evaluating whether I should teach you my medic and chakra techniques, think on it and come to me in a weeks time with an argument to make me want to teach you again." Sakura left in disbelief why had this happened to her, Sasuke was supposed to come back for me. I was going to be the Godaime's student! This is Naruto's fault; it's all because of him. With that thought in mind she stormed across the hallway ready to thrash Naruto, only to run into an unmoving wall of Gaara. "Out of my way it's all his fault!"
"Why?" Gaara said, "he did what the said he would, he brought Sasuke back, that's what you wanted. He saves your life and all you do is hit and berate him, I find you disgusting. You're the ugliest person I've ever seen. Leave. Your not welcome here."
Sakura fled from Gaara and the truth in his words, but she could not out run her memories. (Insert flashback to all the times Sakura was mean to Naruto. It's too troublesome to write!) Was she truly that mean and selfish, did she ever once say thank you to Naruto for saving her life! When did she become so horrible, and what can she do to change it, before she had no friends left or she seriously hurt someone in one of her rants. Sakura quietly left the hospital to sincerely think about who she was and what she would become.
Sasuke stared at Tsunade; thankful she got rid of Sakura and asked about Naruto. Tsunade blinked startled, "Exhausted, everything else is healed, he just needs to wake up now. Kakashi told me what happened, I'm going to check to make sure the seal is really gone and if that's why you left the village." Tsunade moved forward to inspect Sasuke, her hands glowed with chakra she placed one hand on his forehead and the other on his neck where the cursed seal was and let her chakra flow through Sasuke searching for disease, darkness and discrepancies. She found nothing. The seal was truly gone, unfortunately there was no sign left if he was forced to leave the village. Tsunade sighed and drew back her chakra "your fine, but I can't find any indications that you were compelled to go." Sasuke was startled "but I came back if it wasn't the seal I could of left when Naruto was down." Tsunade sighed, "Tell me, do you still want power, do you still want to kill Itachi?" "Yes." Sasuke replied without hesitation "but it's for different reasons now." Tsunade stared at him then asked, "how do you mean?" "I want to become stronger to protect Naruto from Itachi and anybody who would hurt him. I don't want to kill Itachi anymore for revenge. I just want to stop him from hurting others and destroying more lives, if I have to kill him to do it. So be it." Tsunade stared at Sasuke he's grown up she thought, "your on probation for three months, your still with team seven and can train and take D and C rank missions as long as Kakashi or another jounin accompany you. An anbu will follow you for the three months but you will never see them. Rest if I know Naruto he will have you training as soon as he's awake. By the way Naruto's room is across the hall." "I have other patients to see your dismissed and free to go." With that said Tsunade the Fifth Hokage left to continue healing her village.
Sasuke sat in silence thinking it's really gone; I'm not going hurt Naruto again. Wait Naruto I have to see him! He left his room and noticed the guards were gone and moved across the hall to Naruto's room. Gaara stood before him silent, unmoving and just as Sasuke was about to speak Gaara spoke. "He needs you, though he will never say it, protect him." Then moved aside so Sasuke could enter the room. Sasuke was stunned he needs me; I thought I was the one who needed him. He entered the room slowly, he saw Kakashi first, but looked past him to the bed where Naruto lay asleep and quiet. Sasuke leaned against the wall not wanting to get to close with Kakashi here lest he betray himself. Sasuke looked at Kakashi and saw him staring back at him, with an hnn and a nod to acknowledge him he turned back to Naruto. He then settled in to wait not knowing how long it would take 'til Naruto woke up, just that he was needed.
Well what do you think? My third chapter done! I hope everyone likes it.
