Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING BUT THE PLOT!!!

After the bizarre incident last night, Sasuke felt different about…well everything. I could lose my home, my friends and soon myself. Is that Worth getting revenge on Itachi? Have I been living life the wrong way? Itachi can wait. This is my life and I want friends to live it with………Naruto……

Sasuke lay in bed thinking about everything that had happened recently. He wasn't going to let this Orochimaru freak take him away. The only thing he cared about up until know was getting power. No, that was going to change. It was decided…he was no longer an avenger. But that didn't mean he was going to forgive Itachi. It just meant he was not going to seek power like a mad man. But first thing was first. He had to apologize to Naruto…..this wasn't going to be easy.

He put on his signature navy blue Uchiha shirt and shorts, then his headband and he left. He already knew where Naruto would be…. The Ramen shop.

5 minutes later he was there. He sat down beside Naruto. Naruto looked at him funny.

"What do you want?" he asked.

Sasuke sighed…deeply. "Man I hate doing this." He muttered under his breathe. "O.k I'm just going to say this….I'm…I'm sorry I was such a jerk the other night." He said quietly.

Naruto heard perfectly well what he said but he just wanted to hear him say it again. "I'm sorry what was that?"

"Oh don't pull that old trick with me. You keep saying you didn't hear it and make me say it louder until I'm shouting." Sasuke smirked.

"Apology accepted man." Naruto said smiling. " Any way, Kakashi-sensei wanted us to meet him at the bridge soon…well soon being an hour ago but he's always late so if we leave now we should make it there first."

Sasuke nodded and the two leaped away.

Meanwhile

There was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Come in!" Tsunade called.

The door creaked open and a certain pink haired kuniochi walked in.

"What is it Sakura?" She asked

"I was just wandering…would you….train me as a medical ninja?" Sakura asked shyly.

Tsunade smiled. "What made you interested?"

Sakura sighed. "I'm always the weakest link in our group, always watching from the side lines as Sasuke and Naruto fight for our lives. I don't want that any more. I know it's hard work but I'm pretty smart and I'll stick to it!"

"It's not going to be easy."

"I understand."

"Then as long as you stick to it and work hard, I would be glad to train you."

"Oh thank you so much! Now I have to go meet Kaakashi and the others at the bridge, bye!" Sakura ran out the door.

"Wait Sakura! I have to tell you something!!!" she called after her but it was too late. She was already gone.

Tsunade laughed at the young girl's antics. She's a tough one…I'm sure she's gonna do great she thought.

When Sakura arrived at the bridge she saw that Sasuke and Naruto were already there.

She desperately hoped that they had patched things up. The memories of their fight rushed back in. Seeing her comrades fighting like that was unbearable.

"Hi guys!" she said hopefully. "Did you guys patch things up?"

"Ya, we're cool….at least as we were before." Naruto answered.

Just then Kakashi popped in out of no where.

"Hey sorry I'm late, I saw a cat stuck in a tree on the way here and…"

"LIES!!" they shouted at him.

"Okay, okay…..any way Tsunade would like to see three in her office." Kakashi said

"But I was just in her office earlier. She didn't say any thing…." Her voice trailed off. She remembered hearing her call for her to come back but she ignored it and ran….Opps.

After a 10 minute walk to they came into her office.

They came in to see that Shikamaru was there too.

"So what's all this about?" Sasuke asked

Tsunade smiled widely "You four have been chosen to be the next 4 chunin of konoha!"

Everyone was confused. "But I didn't even make passed the preliminaries!" Sakura Exclaimed.

"We see a lot of talent in this year's group,even though you didn't make it passed the preliminaries we still see some potential in you." She answered

"ALRIGHT!!!" Naruto exclaimed running around the room

"But there's more." She added.

Naruto stopped running, confused.

"We have reason to believe that the Akatsuki are going to try again in about two years to get Naruto..the same goes for Orochimaru wanting Sasuke. So we have made a decision… Naruto, you are going to leave to train with Jirya. Sasuke, You are going to train with Kakashi. And Sakura, as planned, you will train with me." Tsunade explained.

At this Point Shikamaru just left.

"T-two years!!" Sakura exclaimed

"I know it's a long time with out seeing your friends but it is crucial. And look on the bright side, once everyone is back you guys can be the most powerful ninja squad in the villiage!"

Everyone nodded, there was no arguing at this point.

Ya!!! It's longer this time!!! Oh come on u now u want to review!!!
