Fields of Hope
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Author Note: This chapter is just going to be the memories that Sasuke has. There's real good ones in here too! One of them is real and the other is just made up. R&R please!
Okay, to make the story more simple, all the words that the people in the memories speak in italics. Got it?
Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own Naruto

The scene shifted slightly to reveal a bright sunny day back in Konoha. Sitting on the steps in front of them was none other than their younger selves, plus Naruto and Kakashi. Sakura realized this must be when they first met the perverted sensei.
"Let's see, why don't you introduce yourselves?" asked Kakashi.
Sakura looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. "Introduce ourselves? What should we say?"
Present time Sakura smiled and went to sit on the railing next to her former sensei, and observed the familiar scene unfold.
"What you like, hate, you dreams, and hobbies. Something like that." He replied in a bored tone.
Naruto butted in. "Hey, hey. Why don't you introduce yourself first sensei?"
Kakashi pointed to himself? "Me? I'm Hatake Kakashi. I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my for my dream… I have a few hobbies."
Team seven talked amongst themselves before the silver haired jounin asked Naruto for an introduction.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto. I like cup ramen. But I like the ramen at Ichiraku that Iruka-sensei bought for me even more. I hate the three minutes that I have to wait, after I put in the hot water."
As Naruto prattled on, Sakura said, "It's amazing how much he's grown up since then. It's been so long…"
"… hn."
"Is that all you ever say?"
"… ah."
Sakura gave a "humph" and turned back to the scene, where it was now her turn.
"I'm Haruno Sakura! I like… well, the person I like is… and my hobby is… well, my dream is to… (insert childish squeal)" The whole time she kept snatching furtive glances at the stoic boy sitting looking out into the distance.
"My god. I really was childish, wasn't I?"
A snort was heard from the person next to her. She looked over to see the small remnants of a smirk playing on his lips.
'maybe he's finally starting to open up to me.' She thought.
Finally, it was Sasuke's turn.
"My name s Uchiha Sasuke. There are many things I hate, and there aren't a lot of things I like (except tomatoes. Sasuke LOVES tomatoes). Also, I have an ambition that I have no intention to leave as a dream. To revive my clan, and to… kill a certain man."

When the world settled again they were in a dark forest with humungous trees, and an evil aura. It seemed strangely familiar. "Where are we?" Sakura asked quietly.
Sasuke took a while to answer. "The forest of death."
Sakura's eyes widened in remembrance. All the pain and suffering she had to go through had started here. When Orochi-bastard bit Sasuke.
Noting that she had full use of her legs again, she ran through the trees until she came to a clearing, where her younger self sat watching over Naruto and Sasuke.
Older Sasuke soon followed, only to find her kneeling beside her pink counterpart. He walked over and leant on a giant tree root, watching the scene unfold.
Sakura sat silently, intently watching the two boys, or mainly Sasuke. Every now and then he would let out a whimper of pain and frown deeply.
She reached forward and grabbed the towel off of his forehead, which was now warm, and only slightly damp. She poured some more water onto it and placed it back on his head.
When they came into contact, he let out a groan and muttered "no…". She faltered, not knowing what to do.
He continued to thrash his head and moaning. Suddenly set with determination, she gently pulled him into her lap. She began stroking his hair, the way her mother used to when she had a bad dream.
His movements stopped, but he still moaned occasionally. Frowning, she began to think of a way to soothe him. Her face lit up and she began to sing.
konna ni tsumetai tobari no fukaku de

anata no yume wo miteta

He was now sleeping calmly, a small smile playing on his lips. When she moved to push him off, his arms wrapped around her and continued to sleep.
She looked, open mouthed at him, before smiling gently and stroking his hair again.
Present time Sakura frowned at the whole scene. "Wait, how can you be seeing this? You were asleep. Right?" She looked at his, to see him smirking lightly.
"I was awake the whole time." Came his emotionless reply.
Sakura scowled and moved to playfully punch him and say 'pervert', but before she came into contact with him, he stopped her, enclosing his hand around her fist.
His eyes burned into hers. "Don't touch me." He growled.
She ripped her hand away. "Sheesh. I was only kidding around."
"… hn."
Again the world shifted, and this time she found herself at the one memory she had been dreading. The night Sasuke left.
