Chapter 6

My Love is Vengence

I know its been a while.

Naruto had been running for hours, he was drenched in sweat, exhausted, he wanted to go to sleep, no he needed to go to sleep...but the voice...the voice that was so familiar...he had to know.

'"NARUTO!"

He whipped around and the voice echoed in his ears, he screamed but made no sound, he fell to the ground and passed out.

It was morning, before noon. The sun had just risen in the sky. Naruto was asleep, but not on the forest floor, he layed on a small cot. The smell of ramen forced him awake. He jumped out of bed and sniffed the air, hoping to find the location of his future breakfast. He stopped when he looked down and saw his clothes. A layered coat and armored vest adorned his torso, heavily pocketed pants wrapped his legs, closed toe tabi covered his feet.

"Who changed my clothes?" and more importantly, "Who undressed me?"

Then the smell of ramen filled his nose again, and he darted through the small rooms door.

Sasuke Uchiha was sitting alone in a dark crowded smoky bar. A waitress tried again to take his order, but his evil sharigan enhanced glare scared her away. He twirled a kunai in one hand, the other was tapping furiously against the table. A bell signalled the opening of the door. Sasuke eyed the familiar ninja, who looked around before finding Sasuke and walking to his table.

"Lee,"

"Sasuke...I heard what happened...Naruto's exile."

Sasuke nodded and Rock Lee sat down across from him.

"He was a good man...and a great friend."

Sasuke nodded again.

"Anyway, I came to tell you something...I can't believe that Tsunade betrayed Naruto like that...I can't live under a ruler like that. I've been given permission to transfer to Suna...I plan on leaving tommorow. I've told everybody but you...I just figure it'd be the honorable thing to do to let you know.

Sasuke stabbed the kunai into the table.

"Lee I have to tell you something...but you can't tell anyone understand!"

Lee nodded.

Naruto had wandered throught the hut and eventually found the steaming pot of Ramen. He licked his lips and reached his hand for it. The ramen burst into flames.

"Gah!"

He stared on hoplessley as the ramen burned into nothingness.

"You must resist temptation!"

The hut deteriorated, leaving Naruto trapped in an endless black landscape.

"What the hell is this!" Naruto ran outward but could find no escape from the never ending nothing.

"Be calm." A man in long akutski robes appeared before Naruto.

"What? Me and Sasuke killed all of you!"

The akutski looked up at Naruto, his eyes red...with demonic slits. Naruto shook his head, the Akutski shared his face.
