A/N: Wow! It's been a long time since I've updated. Sorry, I was banned from the computer because I didn't finish all of my assignments one time because of playing the computer. Hehe, I'm still a kid y'know. Anyway, hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I… I… I do not own Naruto!!!! (runs away with precious diamond-like tears flowing from my eyes)

Recap:

Quickly, Naruto took his arms away from Sasuke and stood up. "Nevermind." And he walked away.

"Hey, dobe!"

"Anyway, are you still planning on watching Barney and his gay minions or have fun with me tonight?" He said and then he darted for the bedroom.

"Would I pass?" Sasuke evilly smirked and chased after the blonde.

Chapter 3: File II

"Uncle Naruto, have you broken a bone again?" Mihana curiously asked.

"Of course not, Mihana." Naruto sweatdropped. Here it goes again…

-----

The sound of chirping birds echoed unto the full-sized master bedroom of the Uchiha Estate's Main House. There, lying lazily on the king-sized bed, is our beloved blonde, flinging playfully on his finger the deadly kunai.

The door clicked open, and there appeared Sasuke in his ANBU captain uniform.

"You're on a mission?"

"Hn." He unenthusiastically replied as he crept onto the bed and lied on it. He, then, grabbed the kunai Naruto was playing with. "Don't play with dangerous objects, dobe."

"I don't need to be told! I'm grown up already; I can do what I want." He pouted and got up.

"You're so childish." He monotonously said, but wrapped his arms around Naruto.

"Be back soon."

"Hn." And with that, he left.

-At the Hokage Office-

"Argh! What's with all this paper work? They're endless!" Tsunade complained.

"If you finished it right after I gave it to you, then it wouldn't be endless, but sad to say you'd rather go to the casino, bet, and lose rather than do your job as the Hokage." Shizune did the sermon thing again.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

Suddenly, there came a knock.

"Come in." Tsunade replied.

"Hokage-sama, what do you need?"

"Uchiha, I've been waiting for you! I have a 'top secret' mission for you." Tsunade grinned evilly.

-----

"Akira-chan! I've got something for you!" Naruto beamed happily as he knocked on Akira's door.

He opened the door and saw Akira sitting by the floor, examining his things.

"What is it, Dad?" He snobbishly asked, irritated by his father's extremely loud voice.

"Here." Naruto smiled as he handed him over a watch… an orange watch.

"What's this?" Akira asked.

"Are you blind? Of course it's a watch."

"Yes, I know it's a watch… but… orange?"

"Why? What's wrong with an orange watch?"

"Dad, ninjas don't wear bright-colored things since they might be easily caught."

"Oohh… okay… I'll keep it to myself then…" Naruto frowned with a depressing aura engulfing him.

"Hn…" At what he saw, Akira sighed and snatched the watch from Naruto's hand. "Alright, alright, I'll keep it…"

"Hurray! Let me put it on you." Naruto grinned cheerfully as he got the wrist watch and attached it on Akira's wrist.

I should've not fallen for his trap… Akira sweatdropped.

"There! Hey, Akira-chan, why don't we go out? The weather looks nice today." Naruto invited.

"Hn." Akira answered.

"You sure got your attitude from your tou-san."

-----

"Dobe, I'm home." Sasuke called as he removed his boots.

No reply…

"Naruto?" Sasuke called again and searched the whole mansion.

Suddenly, he heard some rushing water coming from the kitchen.

"Naruto!"

"Tou-san, you're looking for Dad? Well, he left a note saying that he went out with Akira-chan. He said they won't be back until afternoon." Kokishin informed.

"Good."

"Hm?" She was confused by his reply.

"No, it's nothing." He replied as he walked towards their room. I must find that file.

So, he searched the whole room, but found none. He, then, investigated the whole mansion, but still, there was no sign of any suspicious file anywhere.

-----

"YAWN!!! What a nice day!" He stretched while lying down on the green grass.

"Dad." Akira called.

"Yes?"

"Let's spar."

"Haha! Bring it on!" Naruto smirked as he got up and went into a fighting stance, but suddenly, it began to rain. "Huh? It's raining?"

"…"

"Let's go home; I don't want you to catch a cold."

-----

Sigh… Where did that dobe hide that damn file?! Sasuke grumped with a vein popping on his forehead as he threw himself onto the couch. I've searched everywhere!

All of a sudden, he remembered the instant ramen closet of Naruto. He, then, rushed to it and banged it open. Now, where could it be?

-----

"Ko-chan, we're home!" Naruto called.

"Oh, hi, Dad! Hey, there Akira-chan! You arrived earlier than expected! …… Wow! A cute orange watch! Where did you get it?" Kokishin neared Akira to glance at the watch.

"I got it for him!" Naruto boasted.

"Aw… How come you got it for him and you don't have anything for me?" Kokishin pouted.

"What are you saying? Of course, I got something for you, too!" Naruto grinned as he handed over a watch identical to the watch Akira was wearing.

"Hurray! I got the same watch! Now, everybody will know that we're siblings, Akira-chan!" Kokishin chirped merrily.

Oh, great… Why have I accepted this watch in the first place? Akira sighed.

"Oh… I'm getting hungry. I'll go get a ramen from my closet. Akira and Kokishin, go get lunch, too."

-----

Damn! That dobe sure is good with hiding things! Sasuke thought.

Suddenly, he heard some footsteps coming from the outside. He also heard Naruto's stupid song.

OMG! It's Naruto! Gotta hide! Sasuke panicked. Oh, yeah, I'll just hide here in the closet.

Naruto banged the door open with a lunatic grin plastered on his face. "Time for ramen!"

Oh, no! He's getting ramen! Sasuke thought.

Naruto tried opening the closet, but it won't budge. "Huh? What's wrong with it? Is it already broken?"

No… go away! Sasuke bit his lip as he hold on tightly on the door. Sweat trickled down his face.

"C'mon! Open up! I'm getting hungrier!" Naruto tried harder to open the door.

Go away!

"Open up!" He put full force on pulling the door open. At last, it opened and out popped the Uchiha who fell on the floor.

"Teme! What are you doing?! Are you trying to eat my precious ramen?!" Naruto's eyes flickered with anger.

"O-Of course not! He stammered as he stood up.

"Then what are you doing?!"

"I-I was just looking for something!"

"And what are you looking for?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"I was… hunting for a mouse… Yeah, I've been hunting for a mouse!"

"Whatever, teme. Now, get out!"

With his chin up, Sasuke walked out of the room. Man, it did hurt his pride to be caught like that…

Out of the blue, he stopped, turned around, and glared at Naruto. "Where's that file?"

"What file?" Naruto replied, a little bit of surprised.

"THAT file. I mean the one you found at the lab near Otogakure."

"I-I don't know what you're talking about…" He said and turned his back on Sasuke.

"I'm gonna find it."

"You'll definitely be searching in vain."

"Hn." And with that, he left.

"Sasuke… I'm sorry…"

-----

The raven-haired man sat still on the couch, staring at the ceiling. He was really frustrated by the dobe's stubbornness.

Suddenly, there was a doorbell. Sasuke got up and opened the door; it's a ninja.

"Uchiha-san, Hokage-sama is calling for you."

"Hn."

-Hokage Office-

There came a knock on the door.

"Come in, Uchiha." Tsunade answered.

He came in.

"Orochimaru is coming."

"Orochimaru?" His eyes narrowed by the eerie name.

"Yes, He must be approaching the east gate by now."

"Got it." He said as he left for the east gate.

-----

Naruto burst out from the closed door.

"Baa-chan! I heard Orochimaru is coming!"

"Actually, Uchiha just went there."

With that, Naruto walked towards the door, but was stopped by Tsunade.

"What are you planning to do?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask him some questions…"

"Wait, I have a plan."

-Konoha East Gate-

"Hey, Sasuke-kun, long time no see." Orochimaru purred.

"Hn."

"Do you want to come with me?" He invited.

"Orochimaru!" Somebody called.

"Why, if it isn't the replica."

Sasuke turned to see who Orochimaru was talking about. "Replica?"

-----

A/N: Who's the replica? Find out on the next chapter! Well, there are some clues so I guess you've figured it out yourself. Hehe. Anyway, please review! Ja ne!

(I hope it won't take this long before I update… hehe…)
