Ch.3 Sasuke's POV continued:

On Monday at lunch, Naruto asks me "Are you my friend Sasuke?"

I take a deep breath and say "Naruto, I'm not supposed to be. If I've led you into thinking that I am, then I'm sorry. You're really cool and funny and everything, but I can't have friends."

"Why?"

"When I move, I lose friends. I decided I wouldn't have friends to minimize the hurt. I isolated myself. I went through great lengths to make sure I wouldn't have friends. But this time I've been careless. I'm sorry."

I get up and walk away. I head to the auditorium. I sit down and pull out Sakura's journal. I hear a noise behind me. I turn around and see Sakura. "Here's your journal. I wanted to know more about you, so I took it that night at your house. I see now, why you were so quick to flash when I tried to use Lee against you. Just to let you know, I would have smacked me too."

I start to walk away, but I stop when she says "Wait, Sasuke. I…I came to tell you that I've been thinking about what you said, in my room. I realize that you're right. I have an idea."

I sit down and listen to her plan. It's actually really good, and it actually might work. We continue talking until the bell rings, and we agree on our final plan. That night I get to work on our plan. Yoshomaru joins me. He lays on the bed purring. I make the signs and the list. The phone rings, and when I pick up, Sakura says "Oh, good, I was able to catch you. Is everything ready on your side?"

I respond "It's all done here, how about you?"

She says "System Breakdown is on!"
