Meeting with the Hokage.
"Tonton? Just a guess, but I don't think that's the Godaime, and if it is then I have no idea how this place is still intact?" Sasuke while starting at the pet pig sitting on the chair with the Hokage hat on.
"Of course that's not the Hokage. The Hokage doesn't appear to be here even though she should, after all she was the one that said too bring you here STRAIGHT away. Arg!" Naruto replied "Tonton off of the chair you know the Godaime hates it when you're in her chair, after accidentally sitting on you that time." The pig then hopped off the chair and went over to its basket across the room.
"She sat on the pig, that's hilarious, I hope she isn't fat or I'll feel really sorry for that pig. So anyway where is she?" Sasuke asked while chuckling.
"Wow the Uchiha laughs, never thought I'd come to see the day. You were always so cold before. Oh and Just for your information I've been here for quiet some time now. Seems you lack in the skill of detecting Chakra, and I'm not fat so the pig is lucky. Naruto, Neji you may now leave, Wait outside the door, I may need you later, and thank you for bringing this Traitor here both of you. Uchiha take a seat. I think me and you need to have a little discussion about your betrayal to the village and your punishment." A very familiar voice ordered. Sasuke turned around to face the one and only Haruno Sakura.
He had finally found his cherry blossom only to find out she would be the one to give him the death sentence. She had changed a lot over the years; she hadn't grown much, she now stood at about 5"8 or 5"9 unlike Sasuke who stood at 6"2. Her bubblegum pink hair had grown to her mid back. She had also developed a lot of curves. She truly had the perfect figure and Sasuke couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Yes Sakura-hime." Naruto and Neji replied before bowing and walking out of the room. Sasuke being knocked out of his trance upon the pink haired beauty, sat down on a chair opposite the desk as Sakura took her seat.
"So Sasuke, dejoubu desu ka?" Sakura asked. While taking in Sasuke's appearance also.
"Hai, dejoubu desu. Sakura-hime, and yourself?" Sasuke asked.
"I'm great thank you Uchiha. Now I suppose you already know why you're here, so let's move on. We can start by you telling me why you come back to Konoha?" Sakura told onyx-eyed prodigy.
"The truth is I came back because I missed my friends, and I realised that no matter how much I pushed them away when I was young, they still managed to dig a place in my heart. I wanted to tell them all how sorry I was for what I had done when I was younger and hopefully be the friend I never was to them. As you can tell I've changed a lot." Sasuke answered while looking at the ground.
"So you think because you wanted to see your friends again and make everything better, you could come back here. Sasuke you should know as well as I do, that the punishment for missing-nins is death. You came here to see your friends knowing you would die, I honestly don't believe that. There is something bigger here, something your not telling me. Am I right?" Sakura asked.
"You are right or slightly, I did come back to get forgiveness off my friends but more importantly to get forgiveness of you, Truth be told I am most sorry to you. I was always so cruel to you in our younger days and I regret that a lot now. Leaving you alone on that bench in the cold after you just poured your heart and sole out to me, and all I said was thank you. I'm also sorry for calling you annoying, knowing it hurt you, the thing is you were annoying to me because I couldn't get you out of my head, you were all I thought of when I wasn't thinking of revenge, I l-l" he paused trying to force the words to come out. "I loved you but convinced myself otherwise, I know the truth though now. I love you and always did. I came back here knowing I would be killed, because I had to tell you, I could not die without you knowing. I needed you to know that I loved you and still do, or I could not die peacefully." Sasuke Told her.
"Touching, but it doesn't change a thing Sasuke, the council will not forgive you just because you love me, I want even forgive you because you love me. They will call you pathetic, because that's what you are. Sasuke love means nothing to me or the council, Love will not take back your betrayal, only would something very big do so. So before I arrange a meeting with the council of elders, so they can sentence you to death do you have anything you want to add, a story or something. It could save your life." Sakura told him.
"so it was just a petty crush when we were younger, I should have known." Sasuke murmured with a thrown plastered on his face. Sakura did not catch the murmur however, "Since I still have friends to earn forgiveness from I can't die yet, so I suppose I'll just have to tell you of things I've done that help the village gratefully. I killed all of the sound including Orochimaru and Kabuto, They were a great threat to the village, as both of us know Orochimaru was planning on attacking the village as soon as he transferred bodies. I also killed two of the Akastuki members, this is also of help since it lowers the potential of them attacking the village to get a hold of the Kyubbi inside of Naruto." Sasuke stated.
"Kisame and Itachi are dead. The only two that got away. I suppose this may be of use to you Uchiha. We will have to see what the council say. That should be of some help to you Uchiha. Who knows, if there in a good mood they may suspend your death sentence for a while longer. You will have a meeting with them as soon as we find proof to what your saying is true. Until then you will be staying with Naruto, you leave his sight and you will be killed, step a foot out of this village you will be killed, try attacking anyone even for self defence, you WILL be killed. Am I understood?" Sakura asked.
"Hai, Sakura-hime." Sasuke replied. "May I ask you a question?"
"Hai, just don't make it long I haven't got time to deal with you all day." Sakura explained
"I was wondering why you said that Itachi and Kisame are the only two that got away." Sasuke asked.
"So you haven't heard the rumours of one Kunoichi killing all but two Akastuki? Well actually you probably did, you're just to obnoxious to believe such a thing. You think all girls are weak after all. Anyway that rumour is true. I was the one that killed them all. Truthfully I didn't think I would be able to, I probably wouldn't have been able to if actually if it wasn't for my inner-self and my new found blood-line. Oh wait, you don't know anything about them so I'll have to explain. My inner-self is like a more, how to put it?" Sakura asked.
"I already know what an inner-self is, I have one as well. I'm more interested on finding out about your blood-line, why you killed the Akastuki on your own and how." Sasuke told Sakura.
" My blood-line is called Elementose (AN: made that up, you'll know why I called it that after reading the next part), or at least that's what I called it, We have no records of my blood-line on file so I don't know the real name. It allows me to control the four elements easily, but I can also do other things, such as see others Chakra, Sense presences that are miles and miles away and a few other undiscovered things, how I know that there is more, is because my inner-self knows about it but she can't tell me what the undiscovered things are, I have to find them on my own. The reason why I killed the Akastuki apart from the fact that they are a threat to the village is because they killed Tsunade. To me Tsunade wasn't just Godaime either, she was like a mother to me, and I swore revenge for her as you did with your clan. How I killed them was basically using my blood-line, it's rather amazing how much elements can help." The Godaime told Sasuke. Sasuke was wide eyed for a while but soon went back to normal and began to speak.
"I'm impressed, not only do you have a blood-line that exceeds the Bykuggan (sp?) and Sharingan by far, you also managed to kill all of Akastuki with it and become Hokage. I'm I right in guessing that killing the Akastuki and being the Godaime's apprentice was what got you the title of Hokage."
"Yes you are, the council believe very strongly that I will be able to lead the village well. Honestly though I didn't want the title though, after all it was Naruto's dream, but he insisted I took it. He told me that he no longer cared about being Hokage anyway, as he already got what he would have wanted from it. You'll have to ask him what that is yourself though." Sakura said. She looked towards the door, knowing Naruto was on the other side. "He didn't tell me what it was he got"
"I will ask him." Sasuke told her "one more thing, did you actually love me when we were younger, or was it a crush like with all the fan-girls?" he leaned forwards, eager not to miss the answer to this.
"It was love Sasuke, but my love has faded for you over the years, I could no longer cope with being depressed over you and hoping you would come back, I gave up with that." IF you looked closely you could see little tears welling up in Sakura's eyes.
"I'm back now though, and you know you still love me, Naruto told me you do. We can be together now." Sasuke held a small blush on his face, which would only be noticeable if you were close enough.
"I thought this conversation ended ages ago, I told you before your love means nothing to me, and even if it did I have a boyfriend so I wouldn't be able to be with you." Sasuke felt like he had been stabbed in the heart a thousand times. He didn't want to hear that he couldn't.
"Y-y-you have a boyfriend. Well I feel like a complete fool now. I came back to tell you I love you knowing I was going to die, thinking you would feel the same, but you don't. Even better I believed that you would wait for me, I should have known you wouldn't wait. You didn't even know if I was coming home, and worst of all I believed Naruto when he said you don't have a boyfriend." Sasuke looked towards the floor, not being able to look Sakura in the eye.
"Sasuke stop moping around. I think I preferred the old you that hardly ever talked. At least then you didn't moan about everything. Also Naruto doesn't know about my boyfriend, nobody does. Naruto wouldn't accept him that's for sure. Anyway I'm bored of you now and I have things to do so your going to leave. I'll just have to ask Naruto's permission for you to live with him and Hinata." Sakura said "Naruto come back in here please" Naruto stepped in to the room.
"Yes Sakura-hime." Naruto asked.
"Take Sasuke to your house, he will be under your watch until his meeting with the council, if you or Hinata are not alright with him staying with you then just tell me and I'll find someone else to look after him, if worst come I'll just have to look after him. I will send over a messenger to tell you when the meeting is. You may now leave if you have no objections." Sakura ordered.
"Of course not Sakura-hime, Hinata will be fine with him staying and I am as well." Naruto said
"Dehamata Sakura-Chan" Sasuke said.
"Dehamata Uchiha, Uzumaki." Sakura said.
After bidding farewell, both Naruto and Sasuke walked out of the room and towards Naruto and Hinata's house, where he would have to stay until further notice.
