The older male's dark eyebrow rose in a baffled manner '' You want to fight me? ''

'' No. '' Naruto shook his head '' More like I want to play a game. '' This statement confused the other even more '' You seemed so bored in school… Sasuke-kun ~ '' ….

Sasukes eyes widened as the others man's words echoed through the dark alley and hit his eardrums with a full force. He couldn't understand how this man could know who he was. He was careful, he never aroused any suspicions and he was sure no one could have seen through his disguise when he broke into 'Konoha' 'So then how? How does this guy know who I am?' Those were the two questions that rang through his head right now begging him to find answers to them.

'' Who the hell are you?'' Sasuke finally asked after a minute of silence. His eyes were narrowed, his voice was sharp and held much conviction to get all of the answers to all of his questions.

Naruto smirked '' If I answered that it would be no fun, would it now?'' He replied playfully making the other tighten his hold on his gun.

'' I repeat my question, who the hell are you? '' Sasuke asked once again. His voice sharper than before.

'' Not telling '' Naruto stubbornly responded.

'' If you don't answer I'm going to shoot you. ''The raven stated without even wavering his tone.

'' We both know you are not going to shoot me. '' The blond with a brunet wig retorted confidently.

Sasuke frowned '' How are you so sure? I could kill you right now and walk away like nothing happened. No one would ever know what happened here.'' he said simply.

'' Well, first, it wouldn't be in your best interest. Do you think I'm stupid? You think I would take a mission without a failsafe? I work for 'Konoha' like you should have guessed by now. You are a threat, but I'm bored and you intrigue me so I didn't say anything to the director of our organization, but a mission is still a mission and I can die while trying to complete it. But if I die, there would be no one to keep an eye on you and 'Konoha' would be in danger so I created a failsafe in 'Konoha's' network. If I die or go missing for a specific time period the failsafe will activate and will inform every agent of 'Konoha' who you are. That's why you should lower your gun because there is no way you are pulling that trigger.'' Naruto said arrogantly with a smirk '' Second. It's not like you would be able to kill me anyway. Considering the events a few days ago when you broke in to 'Konoha' HQ. I just hope you have a good memory and remember me kicking your ass'' he said with a teasing voice.

Sasukes eyes narrowed even more as he let out a loud grunt of annoyance '' So it was you that night. Since you said you saw me in school I'm guessing you probably got a sight of me limping and that's how you knew who I was or at least had some suspicions which you confirmed today... Am I right? '' He said in a calm voice.

Naruto chuckled '' Yes you are and I wouldn't expect any less from you. The day that we fought you could keep up with me. There aren't too many people out there who are able to do that and finding out your identity was a coincidence, though real pleasant one...'' he smirked to himself remembering the kiss while his hand came unconsciously to touch his lips.

The sound agent's dark eyebrow rose in confusion '' Pleasant?''

The blonds eyes widened and his sweat dropped as he realized he gave to much information to the other '' You know what I mean - fun, interesting, the one that will help me liven up my life.'' He said trying to cover up his mess.

Sasuke frowned for a moment hearing the change in the teen's voice '' So what exactly do you want?'' He asked.

The whiskered teen sighed '' Didn't I tell you already? I want to play a game. It's nothing lame and cliche like 'kill or be killed' it's just a simple 'Find out who I am' game. '' He replied simply.

'' 'Find out who I am' game?' What kind of game is this?'' the teen with black eyes asked.

'' It's simple. You just have to find out who I am in one month. If you do I will never tell a soul who you really are and I will owe you a favor, though it can't in any way damage 'Konoha' or agents working for 'Konoha'.'' Naruto said.

'' And if you win? '' Sasuke asked feeling as if this was some kind of trap.

'' Well...'' Naruto grinned '' I suppose I could settle for a favor as well... but I'm not sure yet.'' He said teasingly '' Let's agree that I would decide after I win and, whatever I want, you will do it'' a mischievous smirk appeared on his face.

The older teen frowned '' That doesn't seem fair at all. '' He commented.

The blonde rolled his eyes '' Fine. I will agree to make my winning fee something that doesn't endanger anything dear to you. Does that sound better?'' He asked.

Sasuke stared at the back of the other, his grip on a gun loosened ' I can't help but feel like this is a some kind of trap. Damn. I'm in a bind here. This guy knows who I am. He can spill the beans whenever he wants, but he doesn't. I don't trust him enough to say he won't tell anyone, but I must admit that his offer sounds somewhat appealing and if win… I mean when I win he might be able to help me with my own personal goal… If I look from that point of view this whole ordeal would be worthwhile.' He thought before lowering his weapon '' So what are the rules? '' he asked.

Naruto chuckled and turned around to look at the man who was a few feet behind him. Since it was dark in the alley neither one of them could see the other clearly. They were both hidden in the night's shadows, though even without the darkness it would be hard to see through their disguises. Naruto was quite pleased with himself that he managed to hide his own identity and bring other's to the light '' Aren't you a little too eager now? '' he teased.

Sasuke smirked '' Well I don't think we have all night for you to tease me to death '' he said '' And besides you managed to peek my interest already. Wasn't that your goal anyway? ''

'' Did I now?'' Naruto started saying and was about to continue, but he heard a loud grunt coming from Sasuke and decided to stop playing around '' Rules well… There are only two: Don't try to get my name by doing something that might hurt 'Konoha' or people working there in any way. Second. Don't follow me. '' He replied.

'' So how do you expect me to find out who you are? How will all of this work?'' Sasuke asked frowning.

'' I will leave clues in your locker at school that you will have to decipher to find out what I like. Every clue will be different and will reveal one thing about me. However, it will be really vague.'' Naruto explained and a smirk appeared on his face once again '' I just hope you are perceptive because it would bring me great disappointment if I was actually wrong about you and you turn out to be a clueless idiot.'' he teased.

Sasuke snorted, but if you looked closer you could see a little spark of playfulness in his eyes '' Don't worry I'm certain I will live up to your expectations '' he said smirking.

'' I would hope so. '' The blond said and turned around '' Well, that's it. I have to go now. See you soon, Sasu-chan! '' Naruto said walking away.

Sasukes eye twitched at the nick name, but the smirk was still present as he watched the other walk away '' What the hell did I get myself into? '' he asked himself and turned the safety ,of his gun, back on.

He sighed and started walking away too. He walked slowly like an ordinary person coming from the movies or something rather than secret agent walking away from a failed mission. is phone started ringing and, though reluctantly, he answered it eventually.

'' What? ''

'' Sasuke-kun, comeback to HQ as soon as you can. We have some information about the certain someone you've been looking for these past years. '' A snaky voice came the other end of the call.

The raven's eyes widened and his hands started shaking for a minute before his eyes narrowed into a glare and he started walking as fast as he could to not attract unwanted attention, but still reach the HQ faster.

Naruto walked up to the black SVU that was parked next to a bar. He opened its doors and sat down into a passenger's seat next to his partner Hinata who was already sitting in the driver's seat.

Hinata let out a sigh and smiled as her eyes landed on blond boy. She noticed that he wasn't wearing his waiters uniform and brunet wig anymore, but instead he was wearing black jeans, dark purple sweater and wig with long black hair, meaning he changed along the way to this meeting spot.

'' Naruto-kun, where were you? I couldn't reach you. Why did you go radio silent? I thought something went wrong and you got caught or something worse... I was worried...'' Hinata blurted out feeling nervous, but also relieved that Naruto seemed alright as far as she saw.

'' I ran into someone. '' the blond replied simply while buckling up.

Confusion appeared on the long haired girls pale face '' W-w-what? Did someone recognize you? Are you in danger? '' she asked with voice filled with worry and fear for the other's safety.

'' It doesn't concern you, but if I have to answer they did not recognize me and I'm in no danger what so ever. It was just a pleasant coincidence that I met him there. The outcome of this mission was better than I expected. I'm quite glad right now that I took it. I confirmed something very important today.'' He responded, trying to stop the girl from asking more unnecessary questions by assuring her that everything is fine.

'' B-b-but are you sure? '' She asked. Doubt, still present in her voice.

'' I said everything is fine. I know what I'm doing and I wouldn't compromise a mission like a certain someone '' Naruto replied '' So stop meddling into others peoples business. It's annoying. Just drive '' he said irritated.

Hinata's eyes saddened. he knew the reason behind the way Naruto treated her. She knew it, but it still hurt. The dark haired girl shook her head focusing her attention to the task at hand.. She put the key into ignition and started the car before driving away casually.

Sasuke entered the building where the Sound HQ was located and walked straight to an elevator. He stepped inside and pushed the button for the 27th floor. He relaxed when he felt the elevator move and just leaned on the left side of the wall in the enclosed space..

A few minutes later the elevator stopped and the doors opened. He stepped out of the elevator and made his way down the hallway until he reached a large metal door. He pushed it open and entered a big office where two men were sitting on a couch which was placed next to the right wall. They were talking about business as far as Sasuke could tell.

The dark haired older man looked up when he heard the door open and smiled evilly when he saw Sasuke come in '' Hello Sasuke-kun~'' Orochimaru said in a sing song voice.

Sasuke looked at Kabuto and Orochimaru and already felt the need to turn around and walk away without even saying a word to them, but he had to put up with it because they had information he needed '' Hn.'' He replied.

'' So you failed another mission. Is this going to become a habit? '' Kabuto asked smirking.

'' Tch.'' The raven haired teen let out a grunt '' Neither one of you mentioned anything related to another party being involved. When you don't lay down all the cards on the table how do you expect anyone to complete a mission without knowing the most crucial parts of it?'' he defended himself '' Besides I didn't come here to listen to you complain about something that is entirely your own doing. You said you have information about him. '' He said accentuating the word him '' That's the only reason I'm here.''

Orochimaru chuckled '' Is this really the way to talk to the person who has information you need ? '' The man asked with smirk still present.

The raven narrowed his eyes '' What do you want for that information? '' he asked and bit his tongue before he said anything that would ruin his chances of getting his hands on the information he needed.

'' For starters you could enlighten us on what occurred during the mission '' the man with glasses said not hiding his amusement.

The Uchiha rolled his eyes and sighed calming down his nerves '' At first, nothing seemed out of place. The charge was talking to multiple people and I was keeping a close eye on him. I didn't see anyone suspicious. Although, before Mr. Sipit went onto the stage I saw a waiter stop next to him. They exchanged a few words, Tom took a drink from him and the waiter walked away. I didn't think anything about it since the waiter kept walking and handing out drinks to people before he walked up and stopped next to me casually. He started a conversation. It was weird, but I could have never thought that an agent from another organization would be bold enough to come up to me and start talking. It was certainly unexpected and when I found out he was an agent it was already to late to save my charge. '' he explained.

'' How did Mr. Sipit die?'' Kabuto asked .

Sasuke frowned thinking back to the how his charge died '' I'm guessing it had to be some poison...'' he said.

'' But what kind of poison? '' the white haired man asked.

'' How the fuck should I know! Do I look like I am a fucking psychic?'' The youngest male in the room hissed.

'' Kabuto, stop irritating Sasuke even more. This room has already too much of his dark aura in it. '' Orochimaru said '' Now, Sasuke, what did you and the other agent talk about?''

Sasuke frowned again. He was expecting this question, but he didn't know how to answer it… surely he couldn't tell them that his cover was blown and that he agreed to play a game with the mysterious agent ' Or Can I?... No, if I do I will be pulled out… And I hate to admit it, but I want to know what happens next with that game we just started playing… ' He sighed '' At first I thought he was hitting on me, but in reality he was just gloating. Making me feel like a fool.''

'' How would you describe him? '' Orochimaru asked.

'' Arrogant, confident, show off, perceptive '' The raven haired boy replied.

Orochimaru put a finger on his chin '' I see…''

Sasuke rolled his eyes '' So now can we talk about more important things? Like what the hell do you know about Him?''

'' He is coming back…'' Orochimaru said simply.

Sasukes eyes shot wide open and aura in the room became even more ominous '' When? How? '' he asked. Voice slightly trembling.

'' As far as we know, he should be here in week's time. We don't know the exact date. As to how… He is coming in one of the cargo ship.'' The man explained.

The ravens eyes narrowed and darkened '' I Guess I should start preparing for my brothers return '' he said in a voice that could scare even the most fearless killer before he left the room.

Kabuto looked at Orochimaru '' Should we be worried about this? '' He asked in a detached voice.

'' Probably. '' Was the only answer the older male gave him before returning to work.

Naruto walked into the Hokage's office, forgetting to knock as always, with Hinata following him in.

Tsunade let out an annoyed sigh. She ran a hand through her hair, calming down '' I take it that the mission was successfully completed?'' She asked the two who just walked into her office as if they owned it.

'' There couldn't have been any other outcome since I was the one on the mission and this was my plan '' Naruto replied arrogantly.

'' Tch. I guess I owe him now... three favors... shit...'' the blond haired woman muttered under her breath '' So the report? '' She asked loud enough for others in the room to hear.

'' It will be on your table tomorrow. '' The boy said '' Can we go now? '' he asked.

Tsunade looked at her grandson suspiciously ''Well you could enlighten me now. '' She said.

Narutos raised a brow '' There isn't much to say or report. We infiltrated, found the target and I eliminated it. Mission complete. '' He replied with a shrug.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. She can feel her grandson is not telling her something important, she just knew it in her gut so she turned her eyes to the raven haired girl, making her fidget under the fierce gaze of the older woman '' Tell me Hinata is that true? You two were gone for quite some time. I would hate to punish you and Naruto because my dear grandson has too much pride to admit that something he didn't plan happened '' She asked.

'' U-m-m-m...'' Hinata stuttered.

'' Don't lie to me Hinata! '' She said strictly making the girl shiver.

Hinata lowered her head. She knew that Naruto didn't want the Hokage to know everything, but she couldn't keep it quiet. She didn't like lying even if it wouldn't really be lying and it would be to protect the one she cares for the most so she decided to tell the truth '' T-t-t-t-there was a complication... Naruto went missing for a little while... when I asked him what happened he said he met someone he knew...I don't know anything else...'' Hinata stuttered.

Narutos blue eyes narrowed and he glared at the raven haired girl '' Tch. How hard is to keep your mouth shut? I knew telling you anything was a bad idea. '' He hissed.

'' Naruto! '' Tsunade threatened '' Explain to me where you were and what were you doing during the time you went M.I.A.?'' She asked with her voice harsh and glare that could kill.

Naruto sighed and looked at his grandmother '' That doesn't matter. It doesn't involve a mission.'' He said.

'' It doesn't involve the Mission?! You disappeared in the middle of the mission! How can that not involve the mission?'' She shouted angrily.

'' The target was already eliminated so the mission was officially over.'' Naruto corrected her, making the older blonde fume from anger.

'' Till you come back HERE SAFE AND SOUND, THE MISSION ISN'T OVER!'' She yelled.

Naruto closed his eyes and massaged his temple '' Baa-chan, trust me. What I was doing at that time won't compromise the organization at all. Konoha and its agents are safe. Trust me. I know what I'm doing. '' He said.

Tsunade sighed and her expression softened, but still remained completely serious '' Naruto if I decided to trust you right now and stopped asking questions about this for the time being, would you promise to tell me what you were doing during the time you were M.I.A someday? '' She asked.

'' If that makes you feel better and gets you of my back... I promise to tell you everything what I did when I went M.I.A like you say. However, everything's in due time. '' The blonde haired boy promised.

'' Fine. I will stop bothering you for now. '' The older woman said '' You can go no- '' she was cut off when the doors to her office swung open and Deidara barged in.

'' Doesn't anyone knock these days? '' Yelled Tsunade seeing her older grandson rush towards Naruto. However, to her dismay her outburst fell to deaf ears as Deidara ignored her completely and proceeded with what he was doing before.

'' Naru-chan! '' He yelled excitedly and hugged his younger brother '' Your art piece is on every news channel there is! I'm so proud of you! Hm. '' he said smirking knowing his brother is getting annoyed.

Naruto rolled his eyes and pushed his brother away '' Deidara, I just did my job - eliminated a target. I can't see the art in that, like you do...'' he said with his own smirk already present.

'' Tch. Naru-chan like always...you don't understand the beauty of art. '' The older male blond said feeling irritated.

I do understand, but your understanding of art is completely different from mine. '' Naruto said.

'' Yes, but it's because you fail to-'' Deidara started saying but was caught off by Tsunade.

'' You two! Stop this right now! I really don't want to listen to you two argue about what art is! The last time you started you didn't stop your banter for hours driving everyone crazy! I won't have that again! '' She shouted, feeling annoyed at the painful memory of when her two grandsons started their philosophical, teasing conversation about what art is.

'' Umm... Naruto I wanted to know what poison did you use to eliminate the target '' Hinata asked shyly, successfully gaining everyone's attention and changing the subject.

Naruto and Deidara smirked and looked at each other '' It wasn't a poison per say-'' Naruto started explaining.

'' -It was a sophisticated technology-'' Deidara continued.

'' -Nano tech-''

'' -It's a micro technology-''

'' -That you could only see it through microscope-''

'' -Even if it's so small-''

'' -It's very deadly-''

'' -The perfect weapon for assassinations-''

'' -It can't be detected-''

'' -It only kills-''

'' -If you give the order-''

'' -just send a text to a specific number and-''

'' -It will eliminate your target if it has nano in his system-''

'' -It's like a bomb that can go off anytime-''

'' -And we both agree- '' Naruto said.

'' -This weapon... is art- Deidara finished.

Hinata and Tsunade looked at each other and then at them '' Umm... it's nice that you two FINALLY agree on something art related, but... you have no idea how creepy it is when you two finish each other's sentences this way... '' The blond woman said and shivered.

The two male blonds rolled their eyes '' We are brothers it shouldn't be strange that we are able to finish each other's sentences... As a matter of fact it's supposed to be cute.'' Deidara said deadpanned.

'' Well when it's you two, the creepy overshines the cute '' the older woman muttered smirking.

'' Tch. Whatever. '' Naruto said and turned his head towards Hinata, who has been forgotten in the family's banter, and narrowed his eyes '' I need to ask something of Baa-chan and I really don't want snitches to overhear it. You know, you will never know what those people would do with the information. So can you leave us alone, Hinata?'' He asked.

The raven haired girl lowered her head '' Y-yes...'' she muttered before she left the room.

Tsunade raised a brow '' You wanted to ask me something?''

'' Yes I did...''

The weather was awful, lightning flashing in the sky, waves going up few feet in the air and then crashing down with such force while a lone cargo ship was sailing in the Pacific Ocean. The giant waves were crashing into it, but the ship never wavered from its path.

'' The weather sucks tonight '' A red headed male said looking through a window of one of the cabins in the ship.

'' Indeed. '' The male with long dark hair replied.

'' Are you happy about going home Itachi? '' the other one asked.

'' As happy as one can be to comeback to nothing, Sasori.'' He said.
