"Another order of Ramen please". Naruto asked the chef eagerly.
"Naruto, that's your fifth bowl of Ramen". Sakara scolded."
"Sakura-chan you don't understand, Ramen is not like regular food ramen is-is". Naruto was cut off.
"glad to see your still the same". Sasuke smirked.
"what does that supposed to mean?". Naruto asked as he starting chowing down on the fifth bowl.
Sasuke shrugged "I don't know you just still seem very Naruto-ish". Naruto folded his arms "I have changed" Sakura punched Naruto lightly "yes he just went from moron to idiot". They all laughed.
"He has changed though". Sakura smiled. It was good to be back. Sasuke didn't realize how much he missed konoha. He looked at his arm. He still had a big bruise from when Sakura hit him. She hit him hard to get him back. Both Sakura and Naruto were able to get him. They both had to use physical force, since he was trying to kill them. It had only been two weeks ago when this happened. Yodamine had to use his wood jutsu to trap Sasuke before Sasuke could do anything to them. He had to trap Sasuke so tightly that Sasuke could hardly breathe. He had never felt such pain in his life.
"Stop it, your going to kill him" Naruto screamed. Sasuke was screaming in such agony as the wood kept squashing him harder and harder. He kept trying to figure out ways to get out but couldn't. He heard Yondiame say "I'm sorry I didn't want you guys to see this but it has to be done". Naruto was trying to lunge at Yondamine but Sakura held him back.
"Naruto stop I see what he's doing". Sakura said. Sakura was flinching. Sasuke started screaming hard. The pain was agonizing; he just wanted it to stop. Everything started to go dark. When he opened his eyes he couldn't see anything but brown. Where was he? He could barely move except for a finger. He touched the brown stuff. It was wood. He was trapped inside the wood. How could he have let this happen? Why did they want him back to konoha so badly? Couldn't they just move on? He would not be defeated this easily. He couldn't move but he could still use his sharingun. He used his sharingun. He was able to his higher power. He could feel his hair rising. Just barely he was able to break down the wood. Sakura and Naruto gasped. Sasuke realized he was bleeding so hard.
"Sasuke you need medical help, now I can operate on you". Sakura stood up. She looked injured. He looked and saw Orochimaru and Kabuto dead.
"you killed them?". Sasuke asked. He could hear his own voice was hoarse.
"it doesn't matter to me if you did, I am strong enough on my own". Sasuke knew in his condition now that was partly not true. He could hardly walk. Sasuke struggled to lift his hand. He was going to try as hard as he could to use the chidori. Before he could raise his arm all the way in the air, Sakura ran towards him and punched his arm so hard, he went fliying across the place. He couldn't believe how strong Sakura had gotten. He landed on the floor hard. He remembered Sakura always smiling him. She always made it her job to protect him. He remembered how protectve of him she was. It felt weird having her hit him. Almost hurtful but he couldn't understand why. What was going to happen to him now? His dream of getting back at his brother was about to be destroyed. Sakura and Naruto were fighting so hard to get him back. He could hear Naruto walking his way. Naruto crouched down.
"Sasuke, I hate having to hurt you like this, but like I said years ago I'm going to do whatever it takes to get you back.". Sasuke felt something rising in his throat.
"your trying to ruin things for me, I'm not going to let you win like this, why are you still trying to get me even after I tried to kill you". Narutos eyes teared up.
"because you are like a brother to me, and a real brother relationship doesn't let another brother destroy his life". Sasuke couldn't look at Naruto. He glanced at the floor.
"I know, I may not be your real brother, and I know you still want revenge on your brother but is it worth it to ruin the relationships you have, we can help you get revenge on your brother." Sasuke remembered him and Naruto climbing up the trees. They were both so competitive with each other, but always there for each other when needed. He remembered the group jut being together having a good time. Even though Sasuke never laughed with them, he still was always laughing on the inside. Sakura came over. Sasuke remembered what Kakashi said the day he left. That even though he lost a lot, to try to keep the relationships he had. Sasuke glanced up at Naruto and Sakura. Sasuke tried to shut the thought of them out for the last few years. He tried to be emotionless for the last few years. Maybe this was wrong what he was doing. He still wanted revenge against his brother. Just maybe he should do it a different way. "Th-thank you". Sasuke stuttered. His body was in so much pain he was numb. He could see Sakura's tears.
"d-o m-e a fav-our fr-ee th-e pri-sonars o-f ori-moru" Sasuke tried to say.
"we will." Sakura cried. Sasuke eyes started to close. Sasuke woke up and realized he was in the hospital, Sakura and Naruto and visited Sasuke in the hospital every day. Especialy Sakura since she helped operate on him.The wood jutsu really did a number on him. Sakura told him that on the way back, she tried to operate her best on him. She said he needed a lot of doctors to operate on him. She was able to stop the wounds from bleeding. She also had to give some of her energy to him. It took two weeks for Sasuke to get out of the hospital. Now they he, Sakura and Naruto were having lunch together. To celebrate getting out of the hospital. While Sasuke was in the hospital he and Sakura… Sasuke looped his fingers with Sakura. Sakura smiled at Sasuke. Naruto rolled his eyes and smiled. He was happy for them. He was over his romantic feelings for Sakura.
"So Sasuke, once your all healed up, I want to really see how strong you have become". Naruto grinned.
"Yes I agree, same with you loser". Sasuke smirked.
"you haven't seen how strong I have gotton Sasuke". Naruto grinned
"Haven't you guys matured past this". Sakura exclaimed,
"hmph". Sasuke and Naruto folded there arms and looked away from each other. Both of them were smiling on the inside. Sakura guessed it wasn't so bad what they were doing, At least things were going back to normal. She squeezed Sasukes hand. She would never let him go again.
Suddenly Kakashi came over.
"well if it isn't Sasuke Uchiuo". Kakashi said.
"Kakashi". Sasuke said. Kakashi only visited Sasuke once since he got out of the hospital two days before Sasuke did. When Kakashi visited, it was silent between them for the last few minutes. They then both looked at each other and just knew. "I think you have learned your lesson Sasuke". Kakashi said. Kakashi then had to go because he was called to Hokages.
"I hope you are feeling better". Kakashi remarked. Sasuke nodded.
"I hate to break up the lunch but, we got called Tsunade's for another mission I'm guessing".
"Sasuke just got out of the hospital, he cant go on another mission yet". Sakura exclaimed.
"it's ok I want to go on another mission I need to get into action again, just as long as its not too long because I am still getting revenge on my brother."
"I am going to have a word with Tsnade about this". Naruto said angrily. Kakashi sighed.
"Sakura, you're a medical ninja, I wouldn't have said yes if I didn't feel like it was safe. You will be there to operate if anything happens". Sakura nodded.
Naruto pointed at Sakura. "Sakura-chan were leaving it to you". As they got up, Sakura and Sasuke payed for there meal. Naruto looked in his piggy bank.
"Oh umm… about money I sort off". Naruto stuttered.
"IDIOT" Sakura punched him. Naruto landed on the floor.
"you moron". Sasuke shook his head. "I'm not paying"
"how much does it cost?". Sakura asked.
"well since he got five bowls about fifty dollors". The chef said.
Sasuke, Naruto's, Kakashi, and Sakuras eyes bulged. Sakura punched Naruto again on the ground
"here". Sakura gave them fifty dollars. Sakura lifted Naruto' shirt.
"you are so lucky were friends, Naruto you owe me.".
"Sakura, I think I am going to be dead by her soon". Naruto stammered. As he got off and started walking towards Tsunades with them.
