"What?" Kiba asked looking up at Sasuke. Sasuke sighed and looked up at the sky.
"You were expecting a fight then?" He asked lazily. "I can always give you one." He said reaching for his kantana.
"Sasuke, explain your reason for being here." Neji demanded.
"I did what I left to do. The only logical thing to do now is to return to Konoha." Sasuke yawned. "I've been purposefully staying at these places so the village would hear about it and send ninja after me."
"What do you mean?" Lee asked. Sasuke dropped down from the gate and landed in front of them.
"Why go back by myself to be arrested when I can have an escort and return as the found prodigal's son?" Sasuke asked. He walked right past them and started down the road towards Konoha. "Try and keep up now, I have been waiting on that gate for two days for you guys to show up." He said without looking back at them.
"You've been waiting?" Naruto growled. "YOU'VE been waiting?" He growled again. Sasuke turned to look at Naruto with a bored expression. "It's been six fucking years Sasuke. We've been waiting six years for you and now all you can say is that you've been waiting for us?"
"I never told you to spend all that time chasing me. In fact I remember telling you not to. It's not my fault you're an idiot." Sasuke shrugged and started walking again. Naruto gnashed his teeth and ran to punch Sasuke but Lee caught him.
"Naruto, don't be hasty. This is what you wanted is it not? For Sasuke to return with us?" Lee asked and Naruto struggled against his hold. Naruto grunted and stopped struggling. Lee let him go.
"Keep up then." Sasuke said jumping into the trees and taking off. The other followed him closely.
"You know you'll probably be arrested." Neji told Sasuke as they ran. Sasuke said nothing. They made it back to the village without any delays. The villagers gasped when they saw Sasuke walking down the street. Sasuke could feel Naruto's glare on his back the entire time and even when they entered the hokage's office he could hear him scowling.
"You sent for me, hokage-sama?" Sasuke smirked as he approached her desk.
"So you've returned then?" Tsuande asked.
"Until I get bored and decide to leave again." Sasuke shrugged with an indifferent tone. Tsunade narrowed her eyes at him.
"You're going to be held in the prison while the council decides what to do with you." Tsunade said. Sasuke shrugged.
"Very well then." Sasuke said.
"Neji." Tsunade said.
"Yes ma'am." Neji bowed. Sasuke smirked at Neji and Neji walked out of the room with Sasuke following him. Tsunade pinched the bridge of her nose. The Uchihas were always cocky and arrogant, and Sasuke was no exception.
"You three are dismissed." Tsunade waved Lee, Kiba and Hinata out of the room. Naruto growled as he stepped forward to await his instructions. "You are not to tell Sakura any of this until the council comes to its decision. You will not contact Sasuke Uchiha until that day as well. Am I clear?" She asked.
"Yes, hokage-sama." Naruto said. Not that it really mattered anyway, like hell was he going to see the bastard in prison and Sakura was too busy at the hospital for him to have time to tell her.
"Very well, you're dismissed." Tsunade said. Naruto bowed and left. A few minutes later Tsunade looked up at the hokage monument and saw Naruto sitting up there. She sighed and went back to her work.
'How much have you changed, Sasuke?' Naruto wondered as he sat on the monument and looked down at the city. He always sat on the fourth's head because it was the highest and he could see everything from there. It also had a clear view of the hokage's office. Not that he spied on Tsunade, in fact it was the opposite. He knew she worried about him and so he always stayed where she could keep an eye on him otherwise she would lecture him much more than she already did. He stayed there all night, it was that or go sit in his apartment and this definitely had the better view. Around midnight it started to rain.
"Just fucking peachy." Naruto grumbled pulling his legs to his chest and wrapping his arms around his knees. "Tsunade is gonna kill me but I really don't want to go home." Naruto said to himself. But then again, who would want to go home to a freezing, dark, empty apartment when it's just as freezing and dark up there.
"Naruto?" Sai said softly. Naruto looked up to see Sai standing beside him.
"Oh, hey Sai." Naruto said.
"What are you doing up here?" Sai asked.
"Just thinking about some stuff." Naruto shrugged.
"You could get sick sitting out here in the rain." Sai said. Naruto shook his head.
"I'll be fine." Naruto said.
"What's troubling you?" Sai asked.
"Tsk. You guys always worry about me." Naruto smiled.
"Most people don't sit out in the rain unless they have a death wish." Sai said. Naruto laughed a bit.
"Seriously, don't worry about me, Sai. You should get inside before you get sick." Naruto smiled at him.
"Okay. But here, I brought you some tea." Sai said handing Naruto a thermos.
"Thanks, Sai." He smiled taking the warm thermos. Sai nodded and disappeared. Naruto took a few sips from the thermos and then held it against his chest to protect it from the freezing rain. He looked down at the prison and sighed.
'Why did you come back? What are you thinking?' Naruto thought glaring at the prison. He knew Sasuke's cell had a window facing the hokage monument. Of course the only reason he knew that was because the rest of the rest of the prison was full. Apparently this month was a good month for criminals to do crime... or maybe a bad one since they were all in jail now. Naruto glared at the window of Sasuke's cell. 'Che, stupid teme.' He said looking back out at the village.
Sasuke sat in his cell glaring up at the orange spec on the hokage monument.
'Tsk. Dobe, why are you sitting up there? What are you thinking about?' Sasuke asked. He sat back down in his cell and glared at the guards gawking at him through the bars.
"What do you want?" he snapped at them flashing his sharingan. The guards 'eeped' and quickly moved away from the cell. Neji snorted and leaned on the bars of the cell, looking in at Sasuke.
"Be glad that Tsunade didn't hand you over to Ibiki." Neji said. Sasuke smirked remembering the man from the chunin exams.
"Nah, he doesn't scare me anymore." Sasuke shook his head.
"What are you planning, coming back here like this?" Neji asked.
"Like I told Tsunade, I'm just back till I get bored and move on." Sasuke shrugged.
"So you're not a threat to Konoha?" Neji asked.
"Che, I was never a threat to Konoha. The only person I was ever a threat to is dead now. I told everyone when I left that I was going to gain the power to kill my brother I had no other motives." Sasuke told him. Neji stared at him.
"So then, you came back on a whim?" Neji asked.
"Pretty much." Sasuke shrugged.
"And what happened to your companions?" Neji asked. Sasuke chuckled darkly.
"I haven't had a companion for a long time." Sasuke smirked at him.
"Fine then, the team you led, what happened to them?" Neji asked.
"Disbanded." Sasuke said calmly.
"Rumor says murdered." Neji said. Sasuke looked up at him.
"Dead, yes. Murdered? A little." Sasuke smirked.
"What?" Neji asked.
"Juggo committed suicide. He said if he couldn't follow me he would lose control so he'd rather kill himself than anyone else. Suigetsu and Karin got into a huge fight and Suigetsu won by cutting her head off. Then of course I had already planned on killing Suigetsu because he was too dangerous to let loose in the world anyway." Sasuke said. "So, yes, they're all dead. I only killed one of them and, well, that was a favor to the rest of you rather than out of malice." He added with a shrug.
"I see." Neji nodded. "Tsunade wanted me to tell you that the council will hold their meeting tomorrow. It can take anywhere from one day to one month before they make their decision."
"I'm not too worried. They're not going to kill me so I have no need to worry." Sasuke shrugged.
"I believe you've gotten more arrogant over the years, Uchiha." Neji said. Sasuke smirked as he chuckled slightly.
"Is that all?" Sasuke asked.
"Hn." Neji half laughed. "I'm sure there is more. I didn't know you well enough to tell though I'm sure Naruto and Sakura will be able to." Sasuke's eyes flashed at the mention of his old teammates.
"I don't think they care much if they haven't even come to annoy me here." Sasuke said. Neji shook his head.
"Naruto is forbidden to come here and Sakura has no idea that you are back." Neji said. Sasuke shrugged.
"Oh well, the council is probably going to kick me out of the village anyway. Not like I care." Sasuke said indifferently. Neji scoffed.
"Whatever you say, Uchiha. I'll come back to check on you tomorrow." Neji said. Sasuke nodded and Neji walked off. Sasuke sighed and leaned back on the wall.
'Hopefully they don't take too long. This cell is really uncomfortable.' Sasuke thought and closed his eyes to hopefully get some sleep.
Yay chapter 2 is done.
