Sasuke was at the Konoha coffee shop as usual. But that day, it was different, because he was there three hours earlier. Black aura was emitting from the man it could kill a puppy. He just couldn't stop his eyebrow from twitching, from feeling deeply irritated. He just couldn't stand stupidity or people who tried to fool him. Who were they to play with him? But he tried his best to compose himself. He just couldn't let his personal problem affected other people.

A waiter, presumably was new, approached Sasuke with a bow and a gentle smile, asking what he could help him with.

"A cup of black coffee." As usual.

"Right away, sir." The waiter bowed politely before he left to retrieve his coffee.

He waited patiently for his coffee. His usual mood was not always good, but that day it was worse. He had a bad day back at work and the day hadn't even finished just yet.

He almost killed his secretary for messing with him. Sasuke smirked from even thinking about it. That secretary of his had the balls to fool him. Nice try, bitch.

If it wasn't Itachi, his brother who also happened to be the president of the company had miraculously come there and ordered him to go home and take some rests, saving her sorry ass. If he hadn't come, she'd probably be rolling in the grave by now he'd make sure that people would think she never existed. She better thanked Itachi.

There was no tree without roots, neither did this problem.

FLASHBACK

Yesterday after he left the Konoha Coffee Shop, he went to his apartment immediately. Feeling tired, he took a nice, warm bath. The time he was about to go to his closet to get that black, silk pajama, ready to climb his comfy, king sized bed, was when Shikamaru Nara called.

"Nara."

"Cut the crap, Uchiha. Now stop staring at that black pajama and bring your pale-ass here at the E Restaurant in Shibuya. She is waiting for you."

"But-"

The line was cut off.

Great. He forgot about the fast love Nara called a blind date. Of all days, why Monday night? He cursed to the ninth pits of hell before he changed to a pair of decent clothes and eventually went to the said restaurant Shikamaru had set him to.

Blind date. This was not the first time he had agreed to go to one. This was also one of those odd rituals he had been doing for years now, along with the coffee, as his way of redemption.

He was tired as hell but eventually brought his pale-ass, as Shikamaru had called it, to the said restaurant. And upon arriving at the said restaurant, he spotted a woman inside, alone. According to Shikamaru, the woman had long blonde hair, wearing a blue dress. That was her. He suddenly had a mental breakdown and ended up doing what he should've been doing in the first place.

He should have worn those damn black pajamas and climbed that fucking bed.

He gritted his teeth and headed to his car. He should just wear that black, gorgeous silk pajamas and climbed to bed instead of wasting his fifteen minutes of his precious life, gas, and energy to a fucking blind date. He sighed. He shouldn't have done that but meeting her was not even an option. He apologized inwardly to her and came back to his apartment.

Sasuke and redemption...

Upon arriving at his apartment, he hurriedly changed and climbed to his bed. Suddenly he wasn't feeling tired anymore. He couldn't bring himself to sleep. No matter how hard he tried to force himself to sleep by closing his eyes, his mind just wouldn't shut down for him.

Sasuke stood up and went to the drawer where he put a bottle of whiskey. He'd just down it. Maybe it could help him get to sleep.

In just a few minutes, he was beginning to tremble, paranoia was ragging. Keeping his messed up life and insanity was a hard thing for sure. Sometimes he felt like giving up, and at a time like this, he felt that he was at the lowest.

First, the coffee. It was bitter and crude, just like his life right now. Second, the fast love called blind date he had agreed on when Shikamaru noticed Sasuke and his "loneliness" by offering it. Shikamaru was "kind" enough to really care about the unnecessary thing like this. He actually had been thinking for weeks before agreeing to Shikamaru's offering. The coffee he hated and the blind dates he didn't really find necessary in his life that he actually loathed, he put a little too much hope in it, hoping that by having these could help him forgive himself. These wouldn't happen if he didn't do the mistake he did in the past, he just regretted it the most. Because of that, he lost the dearest thing in his life.

He lost his future. He lost the passion of his life. He lost his heart. He lost the love of his life.

He lost Naruto Namikaze.

Naruto Namikaze was one and only son of the late Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina. They were his parents' best friends, which somehow the friendship went down to them. They were together from they were born until they were in kindergarten. Because of the family business, the Namikazes had to move to Berlin, Germany when they were six, and Sasuke hadn't seen him ever since.

Not until that day... The first time he went to the coffee shop with Itachi, a day before the exam entrance of the high school.

He remembered the first time they met at Konoha.

"What the hell, Itachi?" Sasuke commented, still gracefully and collected after tasting the bitter liquid called black coffee.

"It should be better on the second sip," Itachi assured him whilst sipping his own coffee, clearly enjoying the liquid.

Sasuke eventually did as he was told. That was where he believed what Itachi had said earlier, "don't trust anybody even yourself."

He didn't like coffee.

Or so he thought...

Just the moment he put the cup down on the table, he shot a glare toward his brother for manipulating him, but it seemed to no use when the said brother was staring at him, but not quite right, or rather behind him? What his brother was looking at with that kind of expression? Perplexed? Sasuke shot up an eyebrow before he looked at what he thought Itachi was looking at.

He was speechless to witness who was standing there.

Namikaze Naruto. There was no way he could forget that person with such bright aura. What he could remember of that boy the last time he saw him was still the same yet different in an odd way. Clearly, the boy had grown inches and those chubby cheeks back then had disappeared. But there are things that'd remain the same. He might have grown few inches and lost those chubby cheeks, but those strands of golden hair, tanned skin, blue eyes, and one for certain, those whiskered cheeks adorning that beautiful face would always be the same.

"Naruto?" He heard Itachi called out the said man's name.

"Itachi? Is that you? Sasuke?" Naruto eventually heard his name being called and upon finding the person, he instantly recognized them.

He remembered at that time, he couldn't speak and almost couldn't breathe. He spent that evening studying that breathtaking creature that he adored from what he could remember back in elementary up until now, who had been away abroad was now sitting with them, talking while smiling all the time, making his beauty so ethereal. Sasuke was lost for words. The coffee he claimed he didn't like was now on its way down his throat while watching Naruto talking. The liquid that tasted bitter before had become sweet.

Sasuke came to a conclusion, why there was no coffee shop in entire Japan that could compete with Konoha. It was not because of anything to do with the barista or the coffee but it was the memories he had with Naruto that remained.

Naruto liked coffee. Naruto liked coffee after ramen. He almost laughed. He remembered when he asked Naruto who he would choose between Coffee, Ramen, or Sasuke if he were stuck on an island for a month. Naruto had chosen Sasuke.

After that encounter, they found out that they would be going to the same high school together. From there on, they become indivisible. Where there was Naruto, there would be Sasuke, vice versa. If Naruto was seen alone, Sasuke would be somewhere near. If Naruto was outside of a building, Sasuke must be inside. If Sasuke was in a ramen shop alone, Naruto must be in the toilet.

Their friendship lasts for three years until spring came. It was their high school graduation day. Naruto was standing under a Sakura tree, waiting for someone. It was such a breathtaking image when those pink petals fell down on Naruto who was holding a bouquet of white roses Hinata had given to him before.

Sasuke had asked him to wait for him behind the school building because he had something to give. Naruto agreed and waited for him patiently. Both boys were startled to see each other.

Sasuke was stunned by the image of Naruto standing there under the Sakura tree, holding a bouquet of white roses, while Naruto was stunned and his cheeks heated up by the image of Sasuke was there standing with his school uniform, missing all of the buttons, revealing his white torso. Even the buttons on his undershirt were gone.

Sasuke realized that he was showing his torso to Naruto, he smiled in defeat whilst shrugging. "Can't help. All the girls in this school want my buttons."

Naruto smiled.

"Don't worry." Sasuke continued. "I've saved my second button for you." Sasuke smiled as he approached him.

Naruto knitted his eyebrows together in confusion. "Why?" He asked, not understanding the whole situation.

Sasuke smirked. He couldn't help it. Maybe Naruto's late-parents never told him a story about the second button? Sasuke understood that Naruto had no clue about the second button because he was living his entire life in Berlin.

"In Japan, especially when you are in school when a girl really likes you, she would ask for your second button of your shirt. Asking the second button of your shirt means that you are asking for someone's heart. Why? It's because the button located right in your heart, so the button represents it."

"Sasuke, look. I got it. But you see, I'm not the brightest kid around so please elaborate on me. You are saving me your second button for?"

Sasuke sighed. "You are too dense, aren't you?" Sasuke smirked and shook his head. "Just imagine me as that girl who really likes you, but I'm the one who gives you my second button. It means that I'm offering you my heart."

"Oh."

"Oh, what?"

"I don't know, Sasuke. What should I do next?"

"If you accept my heart, then you have to accept this button."

"That's corny, seriously."

"So?"

"I don't think the girls will go easy on me once they know I have your second button." Naruto smiled.

Sasuke smiled back, a sincere one he never showed to anyone else but Naruto, especially the dimple. Still had a smile on his gorgeous face, he took off his gold necklace and put the gold button on it, making it as the pendant of the necklace.

"Turn around, dumbass," Sasuke ordered lovingly, and Naruto complied with a grin and red cheeks on his face.

"Thank you, Sasuke," Naruto whispered as the necklace was being put on. His grin grew wider as he understood the situation. "So, who is the girlfriend now?"

"Of course you, dumbass." Sasuke turned Naruto over to him with a smirk on.

"Hey, but I'm not asking you your button!"

"Now where's yours?" Sasuke ignored Naruto by undoing his uniform. Sasuke was in horror when he found that Naruto's second button was missing. "Where's your button?"

"Huh? Oh, Kiba took it and said that he needed a button to put it on his shirt." Naruto shrugged. "He needs one, said that his mother would get mad at him if he went home missing a button."

Sasuke was mortified that day and Naruto wasn't helping when he offered him his other button, said that it was still the same.

Sasuke was sulking for a week but eventually came back to normal when Naruto went to his house, giving him a ring box with the second button on it, saying that he went to Kiba and asked his button back. Sasuke had smirked long enough that day. That's enough of an explanation as to why the mutt had sent him a text message with, "fuck you, Uchiha."

After they became a thing, a few months later they went to a university and decided to share an apartment to live so they could see each other every day. Sasuke took business administration as his major, and Naruto took medical as his. They eventually had grown too big spaces between, and it was hard to spend time together anymore. Their schedule always collided and they couldn't get to meet or making a free time together. Sasuke had more free time than Naruto, eventually led him to a mistake that he never knew he would regret later.

He made a mistake and that night not only did Naruto left the apartment, but also Sasuke's life. He even took his heart away. He was too angry to do the right thing by chasing Naruto instead he went ballistics and destroy the whole apartment by breaking everything with a bat. He walked by the broken glasses with no shoes on and didn't even wince when they pierced his skin, drawing blood all over the floor, and crying silently. Not because it hurt, but because he felt a part of him had gone from his life. He felt empty he couldn't forgive himself. His heart hurt ached greater than the pain he felt on his both feet.

Itachi came to the rescue after receiving Kakashi's strange phone call. He felt something was up so the first thing he did was calling his little brother. When no one answered, he went to Sasuke's apartment in a speed of light. He was too shocked beyond belief to see his brother's apartment was a total mess. Upon finding Sasuke, he couldn't think anything other than brought him to the hospital.

Naruto's whereabouts were untraced ever since. It was like Naruto was being swallowed by the earth.

Sasuke went mental breakdown, depression, and suicidal thoughts never leave the man for a good one year he had to be supervised. When he realized that those were useless, he started to look for Naruto. Kakashi wasn't helping. He even had searched the whole Japan, but it was useless. Suicide was crossing his mind again back and forth, for twenty-four seven, thinking how life would be better if he weren't even being born. He committed suicide two times but Itachi was always there before it was too late in both scenes.

Fugaku had lost ideas on Sasuke, but Mikoto came up with one. The redemption.

"Why don't you try to re-living the memories you had with him? You could have a redemption by punishing yourself, knowing that you can't forgive yourself, you could do things you hated the most. Maybe, just maybe, by doing it, you could actually feel better? Just think of this... Doing something you dislike instead of attempting suicides, as some sort of punishment, could be ways of telling Naruto that you are deeply regretting the mistake you did in the past? I know you can't properly ask him for forgiveness because we don't know where he is right now but at least it's only fair to have a hard life than suicide. Think of this... You aren't having great life ever since Naruto left. Is that thought help you? Suicide is not an answer, dear... What if by suicide, Naruto showed up? Naruto might feel sorry for you, not that it's a good thing, but he might think that you are a coward and all the reasons that he could never forgive you. Do you want that, Sasuke? Please think this over wisely and after that, do whatever you please. It's your life, after all... I can't do much as I have run out of ideas on stopping you. It breaks my heart seeing you suffer. If you still love me, Sasuke, please don't this anymore..."

No one knew what Naruto was up to and what he had been through. He wouldn't let himself living a wonderful life when he didn't even know where Naruto was. He wanted to pay for his sin, for the mistake he did in the past, so maybe Naruto could forgive him.

Redemption... The thoughts of the coffee shop crossed his mind. He could be visiting the ramen shop but ramen could still go down his throat, and that didn't count as punishment when he enjoyed doing it.

When Shikamaru, one of his friends, knew about his condition, shared his pieces of mind about how Sasuke was being stupid and troublesome. Eventually, Shikamaru coaxed him by offering him blind dates. Shikamaru knew... Sasuke and his loneliness didn't need any blind dates. Sasuke could get anyone he pleased without that but when Sasuke had agreed to it, Shikamaru was quite surprised. Sasuke eventually explained about the redemption and Shikamaru decided to not go easy on him.

Sasuke sighed at nothing in particular. Those thoughts and some starring battles with the ceiling gave him a sleepless night. He finally felt so exhausted, by the thinking and the alcohol, and felt his eyes heavy at five in the morning. Just when he was about to sleep, Shikamaru called just to say two words, how troublesome. After receiving the phone call, he was about to go back to sleep again, but his alarm went off. He cursed to the ninth pits of hell before he prepared to work. He wanted to call sick for today but he remembered that today was an important day for the company according to Itachi so he didn't. He forced himself to go without his morning routine of morning exercise and eating breakfast.

Upon arriving at his office, he had so many works to do like emails to reply and tons of documents to review but he was too tired and his head was spinning painfully. At ten in the morning, he gave up.

"Karin. Come to my office now." Sasuke called his secretary and hung up before Karin could talk.

He needed his coffee.

There were knocks on the door before he heard it being opened.

"Sir,"

Karin called out after she entered his office and she closed the door with a soft click. Karin bowed down before adjusting her glasses.

"There is this coffee shop in Yokohama I always visit." Sasuke paused for a second before he continued. "Ask Juugo for direction. Get me a cup of black coffee. Dismiss."

Karin bowed and left. She'd been working there for a year now she should've understood what or how to do if Sasuke needed something.

Sasuke guessed it would take her some time, an hour at best, so he decided to take some rest. He stood up and loosened his tie, unbuttoned two buttons of his dark blue shirt whilst walking his way to the couch. He took a seat with a sigh. He rested the back of his neck on it, facing the ceiling with eyes closed. His head hurt it was pounding. He felt like there was a hammer knocking his head on repeat and steadily. At this times he needed his coffee and he couldn't wait for another hour.

"Patient is a virtue..." He whispered to himself to calm himself down.

"Itachi..." Sasuke said, almost like a whisper, with a sigh when he heard his door being opened without his permission. Only his brother would do that almost soundlessly, he didn't have to open his eyes to confirm that.

"I heard you are sick."

Without moving from his spot, Sasuke raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Who told you?" He was aware that Itachi couldn't see it.

"Karin told me when she bumped onto me. She said she was in a hurry to get your coffee."

"Oh."

"Is it that bad?" Itachi commented in concern when he watched his brother's position.

"I'm sorry I couldn't talk to you properly." That was the answer Itachi needed.

"What's the matter?"

"Shikamaru and blind-date." It was enough of an information to guess what had happened.

"It's your choice."

"I know..."

"We have a meeting in a few hours."

"I'll be okay after I got my coffee."

Itachi nodded but was aware that Sasuke couldn't see him.

The two chatted for about thirty minutes when there were knocks on the door.

"Come in," Itachi answered in Sasuke's position.

The door slide opened and a glasses woman appeared with a cup of black coffee in hand.

"Here's your coffee, sir." Karin put the cup on the coffee table in front of Sasuke carefully.

Sasuke straightened his body from the couch to see the coffee carefully. He eyed Karin strangely. "You are fast," he commented, ignoring the throbbing in his head from moving.

Karin adjusted her glasses. She waited there because Sasuke hadn't dismissed her yet.

Sasuke eyed the cup. Ah finally... he would feel better. Carefully, he took the steamed white cup of the black liquid and brought it to his lips. Something was strange with the smell but he ignored the feeling by sipping the liquid anyway. He swallowed the first sip and that was all he needed before he exploded.

He put the cup on the coffee table carefully. With eyes closed and eyebrows were knitted together, Sasuke slapped the white cup with the back of his hand, sending the cup and its content flying. Karin was so shocked she couldn't even breathe. And it was an underestimated if she wasn't scared of being present in the room.

Or even being born.

"What the fuck is this, Karin," Sasuke whispered.

"I'm... sorry, sir?" She said stuttering, adjusting her glasses. She tried to remain calm but she was shaking terribly.

"Where the fuck did you buy this shit?" It was so rare to hear Sasuke swore. No matter how angry he was, he would never swear.

"It's-"

"Who the fuck did you think you are fooling with?" Sasuke snapped. That was the reason why she took so fast to get the coffee. She didn't buy the coffee in Yokohama.

Itachi could only sigh at the commotion. Karin was fucked.

"I-"

"Get out." Sasuke was seeing red.

Karin was about to say something but when she saw Itachi, she left the room.

"Itachi if I ever see her again the next time, oh I'm sure you will regret not firing her," Sasuke said menacingly with a smile that was so fake it could make people run for their life.

Itachi nodded and ushered Sasuke to take the day off.

"Go get some rest. I will take care of the meeting. You are dismissed for the past few days. Get back here if you are feeling okay."

END OF FLASHBACK

That was what happened that morning. Sasuke was sent home with Juugo driving. Itachi didn't trust Sasuke to drive in this condition. He ordered Juugo to drive to Yokohama first before going back to Roppongi Hills.

Lost in thoughts after a few minutes, he heard footsteps from behind and a rich smell of black coffee hit his respiration. He guessed that the waiter earlier had come back with his coffee. Just a sip. He just needed a sip before he headed back to his apartment. He was feeling absolutely like a crap.

He was lying if he hadn't quite taken aback to see who was serving his coffee.

It was the cashier girl he had known since the first time he went here. And to be honest, he hadn't seen her for about three years until now.

"Hey. It's been a long time, Tenten." Sasuke greeted.

"Sasuke!" The girl named Tenten greeted back in a whisper. Tenten seemed like she was looking for him that bad because there was something important she needed to inform. And that might be true when she continued, "I have a morning shift and after I serve this, I will head home. Can we talk? I will just go change myself and can you wait in the parking lot if it's okay for you? Because this is super important. I assure you." Tenten finished her sentences with a nod.

Sasuke nodded back. "Sure. I will just sip this liquid and meet you in the parking lot."

Tenten nodded. "Okay. See you!"

Sasuke felt something was odd. He and the girl only interacted when he was about to pay his bill and he hadn't met her for three years, not until now. What was she up to? He was quite curious about this so he decided to finish his coffee and went to the parking lot.

"Sasuke!" Tenten called out. The parking lot was deserted.

"What's the matter?" Sasuke wanted to get on to the point. He needed to get back to his apartment really quick. He could have ignored this girl but this was Tenten and she did not have that "intention" as the other girls had to him.

"Okay, I will get to the matter. How is he?"

Sasuke raised his right eyebrow in confusion. "Is he who?" Because really, he had no idea what Tenten was talking about.

"Naruto. How is he?" Tenten worked at the coffee shop where Sasuke and Naruto were customers so of course, she knew him. Wouldn't be surprised if she asked him.

Of all people. "Naruto?"

"Okay, I can judge that you still have no clue where is he, haven't you?" Yeah. Sasuke had been looking for him for years now and nothing. Not even a single clue of his whereabouts and Tenten was one of the people Sasuke had asked to call him immediately if she saw Naruto.

"Why?"

"I saw him." That's too much he could handle.

"What?"

"Yesterday. I saw him. He had no clue about me."

"Sorry?" Because seriously. Sasuke was receiving too much information in less than a minute.

"Naruto. Your Naruto. I don't know if he is still yours but-"

"Tenten..." Sasuke smiled bitterly with eyes closed whilst massaging his temple gently. "You see... I have a very rough day until I arrived at this coffee shop so maybe I am hearing things from you-"

"About what?"

"You are telling me that you saw Naruto yesterday."

"Yes, at around six where my shift just started and you just got out of the coffee shop and headed back to your apartment. My regular shift always starts at six but today I took morning in hope that I could find you today to say this."

"What?"

"Sasuke, you are not hearing things. I assure you that I saw Naruto yesterday at around six pm. I tried to call him. He smiled at me and for a second I thought he was about to hug me or something but that never happened. He just smiled at me and said if we ever met or something."

Sasuke laughed bitterly. "You must be wrong. Maybe it wasn't him."

"It was him, okay? Listen, Sasuke. It was him. There is only one person in this world having spike blonde hair, tan skin, blue eyes, and last but not least those whiskered cheeks. No one has that other than Naruto Namikaze."

"Tenten, I have been looking for him for years and I have no single clue where the hell is he. He can't just reappear again out of nowhere, can he?"

"I don't exactly know where he has been hiding for years but I saw him yesterday. I even talked to him. Look, Sasuke. Yesterday after my encounter with him, I was about to call you but I don't know how to reach you. I lost your name card."

"But-"

"Trust me, Sasuke. There is nothing I gain by lying to you."

That shut him up.

Tenten continued, "Now I need your name card and I will call you immediately when he comes by again."

Sasuke could only nod whilst getting his card and handed it to the girl.

"I gotta go. Bye, Sasuke!"

Sasuke was stuck in place frozen from all of the information. It was too much for him to process that all. He then began walking to his car where Juugo was waiting.

"Juugo, to my apartment."

Juugo nodded and the two drove off to Roppongi Hills.

Time flew so fast, Sasuke realized that he was already in his pajama on top of his bed.

Tenten was a girl older by a year. He knew it because she was his senior by a year back in high school. Every evening after school, they would head back to the coffee shop together along with Naruto, since Naruto liked coffee. Sasuke only went because Naruto always insisted.

When Naruto disappeared, Sasuke had looked for him. He tried and failed. He couldn't trace Naruto's whereabouts. He already gave up on him by choosing to live a hard life in hope that his sin could be forgiven. Sometimes he wished that he could meet Naruto, even if it was the last time. He just wanted to ask for forgiveness.

Here he thought Naruto was dead...

His Naruto...

The love of his life...

~o0o~

It had been two weeks already, and he hadn't received a phone call from Tenten. Every time when he exchanged glances with Tenten, she would only shake her head, negative.

That evening, he was with Itachi. The two went to their usual spot, the perfect spot to watch the seaside town activities, outdoor.

"Do you remember the girl?" Sasuke asked his brother while they waited for their orders.

Itachi nodded. "Why?"

"Two weeks ago, she approached me."

Itachi raised his eyebrow.

Sasuke continued, "She said Naruto came here."

"Impossible."

"It's true."

"You believed her?"

"Yes."

"Why?" Itachi scoffed. "Doesn't she have the same intention as the other girls?"

"Negative."

"Why do you think that?"

"First, she is gay. Second, even if she turned straight on me, she could have called me years ago when I gave her my number."

Itachi shrugged. "I don't know... She could have changed her mind..."

"Zero changes."

"If you insist... So, what about her seeing Naruto?"

"You don't seem to believe me?"

Itachi sighed. "Sasuke, look... First, it wasn't you who saw him, so it could be someone else she was mistaking."

"She said she saw his whiskered cheeks."

"She could be lying..."

"What benefit she could get from me by lying?"

"Don't be too dense, Sasuke. You don't know her and her intention."

"You act like you know her well?"

"Second, don't trust anybody even yourself. Stop cutting off when I'm talking. Third, I haven't finished talking."

"Well?"

"I'll repeat this. First, it wasn't you who saw him, so it could be someone else she was mistaking. Second, I don't believe this because well, it could be true, but I know you know this... I have the best of the best men under me who could track anybody I pleased but Naruto? We always met dead-ends. And now you want to convince me that some girl saw him?"

Sasuke was silent. Itachi was right...

Itachi sighed. "When did she say that she saw him?"

"She said this two weeks ago... I told her if Naruto visits again, call me immediately. I don't care when it is."

"And?"

"She never calls... Every time I check on her, she always shook her head... And it has been two weeks..."

"..."

Sasuke lifted his head to see Itachi when he received no reply. "Itachi?"

"Sasuke..." Itachi whispered loud enough for Sasuke to hear but low enough for anyone to hear.

Sasuke knitted his eyebrows when Itachi wasn't looking at him but rather he was starring... Behind him?"

"Five o'clock behind you," Itachi whispered the direction for Sasuke to look.

When Sasuke looked at the direction, Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes...

"...Naruto?"
