Hi everyone, so I left the off the last chapter with a mysterious man and Sasuke having some peculiar thoughts. Thanks for any reviews I found that the more you have the more people read the story, that's inspiring huh?

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

The List of Uchiha

Sasuke P.O.V

I was considering my options at the moment another problem (I wasn't to displeased to solve) reared its pink head. Sakura came up looking down at the ground tugging the bottom of her signature dress/shirt. She wasn't something I wanted to deal with right now, but I looked back to see Naruto and the man gone. I sighed turning to the person who had let dobe and the new...thing get away.

"Um Sasuke I know you always say no, but I really, really like you and if you got to know me-," That was enough I stuck my hand out and like magic she stopped talking I swore I heard halleluiah ringing in my ear.

"First off your right I don't know you to be honest I don't want to, from what I've seen I don't think I ever will. I actually find you annoying when you get all fan girl on me," she got fidgety, 'good its getting through to her…I hope,' "Second of all how could you say those things to Naruto?"

"Oh, you know…yes I thought if…you spend so much time together I thought wouldn't get a chance…I knew it was wrong," I looked at her with unhidden disgust.

"Didn't you stop and think how I would feel if Naruto wasn't my friend did that ever reach your skull," I say anger rising making it very hard not to hit her.

"I know, I know I'm so sorry Sasuke," I looked at her she had tears in her eyes.

"Thanks, but it's not just me you should apologize to," I looked at her she nodded and smiled sadly. I walked away toward my house the sun was going down, I would have to wait until tomorrow to see Naruto. I looked up to see dark clouds covering the setting sun they thundered angrily at me. I frowned and walked home in silence. I wished Naruto could've been there to babble incoherently about nothing, when I was alone in the silence it brought back the thoughts of my list, but this time I had help. Naruto was going to help me do things right this time around. I had once thought having been helped with something, even the simplest of things, was 'un-Uchiha like', but now I saw things differently, my past points of view had led me to disaster. I had been arrogant, cold, stupid, and I had even betrayed my village and that was the most un-Uchiha thing I could've done, and all to be used.

Ino P.O.V

I was watching the flower shop when Sakura came in. "Hey billboard brow," she looked at me and I saw she was crying.

"Shut it Ino-pig," she said she went over to flower racks and pulled out a white rose, and walked up to the counter. "I want this." She held out the flower in my face she looked at me with a fierce, determined look. I nodded I knew she was demanding respect in this moment and I was not going to deny her that, when she was being so bold. She was walking out when curiosity got the best of me, "What are you going to do with that?"

She looked at me still with that angry intensity not folding for a second, "I'm going to burn it," I wondered in awe as the door shut behind her making the bells attached to it jingle. I watched her run down the street and heard thunder roar above the town, "Be careful Sakura," I whispered after her.

Sakura P.O.V

I got to the riverbank looking at the rose, this rose was a symbol for my devotion to Sasuke; all that time I wasted, all the horrible things I did lied in this rose. I promised I'd never have a false love again, I had been selfish and shallow with Sasuke I had only liked him because I knew if I had him I wouldn't be a nobody anymore. I forced myself to love him even though I wanted someone else I'd never let myself be dishonest to my heart and let my body be tempted by looks. I took my fingers and pricked it on each of the seven thorns I then took out a match I struck it against the box it started raining. "Damn," I dropped the match. I took out another one I lit it. I held the rose up toward the sky and brought the match to it. I watched the rose turn from white to black. My connection to Sasuke slowly burning to a crisp I felt myself become lighter my burden being torched. I threw the rose stem into the river and stared as it floated away. I stood there becoming soaked feeling at peace at my new beginning.

Naruto P.O.V

"Wow, it's really pouring, huh?" I said looking back at my old friend. I couldn't believe I was seeing him again, I didn't think I would after he saved me that one day when I was so young I remember he's not much older then me, but a hell of a lot taller, I'm a bit embarrassed.

"Sure is Naruto, so how have you been?" we stood under the tree in the park. I remember this is where I'd met him. I had ran right into him and hid behind him, and he defended me just like that. I remember I had covered my head, and next thing I knew the villagers were gone and he was smiling at me holding out his hand.

"Good I guess. Oh, look I'm ninja now see! I'm a chunnin," I said laughing. He smiled right back he looked at me with those different colored eyes; one was a bright yellow-orange the other brown. He had told me that morning he left that I could make something of myself if I tried he's the one that inspired me to become Hokage.

"Just a few years and you'll make your dreams come true," I thought back to the first time he had said that, we had been sitting in front of a small grocery store sipping hot chocolate.

"You know one day I'm going to leave this town, and when I do I'll become a famous architect just like my father. I'll travel everywhere sea to sea, I'll have friends all around the world I'll….sorry I'm a big dreamer I get a little spacey," he sat down embarrassed, he had started standing on a rock making odd proclamations with outstanding energy.

"Wow you're amazing! You're my hero!" I said proudly hopping up and down.

"I- I am?" he asked nervously.

"I never met anyone, so great!" He smiled and put his hand on my head and looked at me.

"Naruto, you are the great one watch, you find yourself a goal and follow it and in a few years you'll make it a reality," he looked up at the sky.

"Could you say that again I wasn't listening?" /sweat drop/ he just stared.

"Yeah, so are you back for good? Did you become an architect? Why'd you leave in the first place?" I fired my questions all in one shot, and grew jumpy as he gathered his thoughts.

"No, yes, and my mother was leaving for a different country and wanted my to come with her and that's when I started my career," he said and that's when I looked at his clothes he was wearing a long over coat that had all kinds of symbols and languages sewed into it. He really had made his dream come true. That's when I realized he said no to the first question he was going to leave again, "Naruto, I'll visit and keep in contact this time, I promise," he said as if reading my mind he had out his fist I knuckled him sealing the promise.

"I have to go Naruto, meet me here the day after tomorrow okay I need to rest and get settled in okay," he said walking out into the rain pulling his coat over his head.

"Wait! What's your name?" He turned and smiled.

"Hideyoshi Tahashi," he turned and added, "I know you won't forget it!"

I watched my hero walk away and smiled. Hideyoshi, my hero's name was Hideyoshi.
