Chapter 16: With you
Sasuke woke up the next morning still in the hospital room with the sleeping Hyuga. He smiled as he sat up looking at her. "Hinata do you know that I lied when I told you that I didn't know why I even liked you" He chuckled as he looked at her.
"I do still like you and I know that I always will" He smiled as he grabbed her hand holding it. "I even went as far to make you jealous so I could get your attention, that idiot of a cousin you have helped me, Kiyoshi" He stated as he sighed.
"But I won't ever do something like that again. It turned out that the girl I chose to make you jealous was crazy and bi-polar. She would act one way this moment and then different the next" He slightly frowned at the thought of the girl.
The Uchiha was quite for awhile as he looked out the window. "You know I think this is the most I've talked in awhile" He chuckled. "But I'm enjoying talking to you Hinata…even though you can't respond to me…it feels good just for me to talk to you"
"When I'm around you…I feel like me old self when my mother was alive. I feel like I could tell you anything Hinata. But you never let me get a chance to talk to you…you would always run off when we were always alone together" He sighed as he then looked back at her.
"To be honest I didn't like you in the beginning when we were paired up in a team. I thought that you were rather annoying and weak but I believe after I became to know you a little better I began to think of you as a friend. You and Naruto are my best friends you know" He stated as he looked down at Hinata's hand in his.
"But…I started liking you Hinata during the time after you fought Sakura. You began to grow on me…" He blushed as he looked at her.
"I know that you said that you don't feel for me what I feel for you but…I will always like you Hinata" He smiled as he squeezed her hand.

"Why are you even here with me" The older boy groaned as he looked at Naruto.
"Well I'm your brother aren't I" Naruto grinned. Yukki frowned as he looked away from him.
After Naruto and Yukki's battle Yukki was defeated by his younger brother. Naruto seemed to talk some sense into him and Yukki decided to stay with Naruto in his apartment. Yukki still seems to act the same though…always talking back to Naruto and the doctors.
"So when am I leaving this dump of a hospital?" Yukki frowned as he looked at Naruto who was frowning.
"This dump of a hospital saved your ass so show some appreciation" Yukki shook his head.
"I'm not showing anything; again I ask when I am leaving." He glared at Naruto.
Naruto sighed. "You are leaving today Yukki" He sighed.
"Good, now tell me about your teammates. Start with that girl, I want to know about your relationship with her" Naruto blushed.
"Are you always so blunt with saying things?" He asked.
"That's how I am. Do you have a problem with that?" He asked.
Naruto sighed. "And this is my brother?" Naruto looked over at the fourteen old glaring at him; a glare that would rivals Sasuke or Neji's.

As the Uchiha was walking out of the hospital he could see Kakashi standing outside.
"So how is she?" He asked never once looking up at the Uchiha.
"She's still sleep if that's what you mean" Kakashi nodded his head.
"I see…how long are you planning in staying there, with her?" Kakashi then looked over at Sasuke.
"Until she wakes up" He stated. Kakashi looked at Sasuke.
"Sasuke, do you harbor feelings for her?" He watched as he smiled appeared on the Uchiha's face as he started walking past him.
"Ah…that is my secret" He stated as he continued walking past him. Kakashi looked at him as he slightly smiled.
XXX
The red head woke up slightly opening his eyes. When he glanced over he noticed that both of his teammates Kiyoshi and Kana were in the room with him but they were both holding hands?
"What the hell is this?" He mumbled which caused both teens to turn and look at him.
"Ah Kazuya, you are awake now" Kana smiled as she looked at him. The red head looked at her and then Kiyoshi who was grinning at him.
Kazuya sat up as he looked down at the two hands. "So when did that happen?" He asked with a bit of jealousy in his tone as he looked at Kiyoshi and Kana holding hands.
Both teens blushed as they let go of each other. "Ah…um…" Kazuya looked at Kana and then Kiyoshi.
"You knew I liked her…and now you're dating her" Kana didn't look surprise at this since she knew that the red head liked her but she didn't like him not in the same way he likes her.
"L-Look I know…but I like her as well so a few months ago I asked her out and we started dating each other" Kazuya stared at Kiyoshi for the longest making him nervous.
"I see, well whatever I don't care" He stated although he did care but both teens are his best friends and he wants the two to be happy.
Kiyoshi and Kana looked at him and smiled. "Have you checked up on Hinata?" Kazuya asked. Hinata was like his little sister and worries about her just as much as he does his own sister.
"Yeah she's still sleep. When we went in there Sasuke was there"
"Oh that kid, yeah I heard from some nurses that he yelled at a doctor telling her that he wasn't leaving Hinata's side" Kazuya stated. Kana looked at him with wide eyes.
"Are you serious?" He nodded.
"He must really care about her to go and do something like that. He even had his Sharingan activated" Kiyoshi and Kana looked at him.
"Whoa…" Kana mumbled. Kazuya then grinned at the both of his teammates.
"It seems your little cousin is becoming quite popular with the boys Kiyoshi" Kiyoshi slightly frowned.
"Tch…I only met one guy that likes her and that's Sasuke…he seems like a nice guy for my cousin so I'd rather see her with Sasuke" Kana frowned.
"Well I say Gaara, I was with them yesterday and those two seem closer together than Sasuke and Hinata" Kiyoshi frowned.
"Sasuke is better for her"
"No Gaara is"
"Sasuke"
"Gaara"
"SASUKE"
"GAARA"
Kazuya sighed as he looked at the two. "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to bring that up" He looked at the two arguing over who is better for Hinata as he rolled his eyes.

Sasuke finally returned to the hospital and towards Hinata's room. When he entered he saw Neji in there. "What are you doing in here?" Neji turned to look at him before looking back at Hinata.
"I was just visiting her" He whispered. Sasuke noticed the concerned look in his eyes as he was looking at Hinata.
The raven haired ninja walked over towards the chair and sat down. "I was her protector…" Sasuke turned and looked at the male Hyuga who hasn't taken his eyes off of hers.
"And I abandoned what I was supposed to do. All because my father died…I had thought that it was the main house fault for my father's death but I know that true reason now. And because of that I turned my back on her…" Neji looked at Hinata.
"I tried to kill her yesterday. If my father knew that he wouldn't be happy since he is the one that told me to always protect Hinata-sama" Sasuke looked at him talking.
"I cannot face Hinata-sama when she wakes up so when she wakes up…tell her that I'm sorry" Neji then walks out the room.
Sasuke watches the door for a few more moments before looking back at Hinata.
"So he was your protector, huh?" He asked her out loud as he looked at her sleeping face. "Well he can still protect you but I am too your new protector" He blushed thanking god that she can't hear him because he knows he'll be too embarrassed to tell her that to her face if she was awake.
XXX
So far a week has passed and Sasuke comes everyday to visit her. He talks to her about what's been happening since she has been sleep to about his past life to even his brother.
Sasuke was currently in the bathroom but when he came out Hinata…was awake. He ran to her side as he looked at her.
"H-Hinata" She looked at him with wide eyes.
"S-Sasuke-kun…?" He smiled as he looked at her.
"I thought that I was dead, am I in the hospital?" She asked him. She watched him as he nodded his head.
"Yes, I have been here waiting until you woke up" He blushed while not making eyes contact with her. She looked at him in shock.
"Y-You have been?" He nodded.
"Others have come to visit you like the dobe, Kakashi, your cousin Kiyoshi and his two teammates, Sakura, Kiba and Neji"
"N-Neji-niisan came to visit me" She gasped as she looked at him.
"Yeah he told me to tell you that he is sorry" He looked at her wondering if she knew what he meant by that. He watched her smile.
"Ah he did…" She smiled to herself as she looked at her hands.
"Gaara also came…but yesterday was his last day in Konoha. He um tried to stay until you woke up but his sensei told him that they had to leave, so he's back in the Suna now" He watched as Hinata eyes dropped down.
"S-So G-Gaara has left back to his own village" He nodded. Hinata then looked at Sasuke as she grabbed his hand which shocked him.
"S-Sasuke, I'm sorry that I snapped at you that day. I didn't mean to I just wanted to show you that I could protect myself…and I'm sorry" She mumbled the last part.
"No I should be saying sorry. If I would have gotten up in time to save you instead of just screaming your name you…you wouldn't be in here right now…it's all my fault. I had thought that you had died…you don't know how much that affected me…the thought of losing you…it hurts me" He stated honestly while not looking at her.
"Sasuke…" He removed his hand from hers as he then looked up at her.
"But I'm glad that you are okay and that you are awake now" He smiled as he looked at her.
"Yes…" She smiled brightly at him. The two were smiling at each other until Kakashi and Naruto walked in.
Naruto grinned when he noticed that Hinata was awake. He ran to her side grinning. "Hinata, you are awake" He grinned. She smiled as she looked at him.
"I am" She smiled. Kakashi watched as all three of his students began talking as he smiled to himself.
"So Hinata the doctors said that you will be able to leave today" Kakashi stated as he looked at her. She smiled but then she looked down.
"U-Um…did my father come here to see me?" She asked as she looked at Kakashi. He stared at her for a few moments before talking.
"He did come" Her eyes widened in surprise.
"But…" Kakashi stated but then stopped as he looked at Naruto and Sasuke. "We'll talk about it later" He stated. Naruto and Sasuke looked at Kakashi wondering what he was going to say but said nothing as for Hinata she just nodded.
"Oh Hinata, guess what my brother you remember, ne?" He asked. She nodded her head as she looked at him.
"Well I finally knocked some sense into his head and he decided to become a good guy and he lives with me now" He grinned.
"R-Really?" He nodded.
"He is a bit on the mean side but he listens to me…sometimes that is" He mumbles the last part.
"Oh that is nice I hope to meet him" Hinata smiled.
Naruto nodded his head as he grinned. "Yeah he wants to meet you too. He says he remembers you from that day" He said. Hinata nodded.
The Uchiha looked at Hinata as he smiled. He was truly happy that she was okay.
XXX
Hours passed as the Uchiha, Hyuga and Uzumaki were walking the streets of Konoha towards Naruto's apartment.
"He is a little on the mean side but I get use to it as time goes by…" Naruto then glances over at Sasuke. "He almost acts like you, sometimes I ask myself is he really my brother since we act nothing alike" He stated they were finally at his front door.
"Well here we are" He grinned as soon as he opened the door a book hit his face.
"You idiot, how can you live in since junky place?" He yelled as he looked at him.
"Now-now Yukki we have company over today…you said you wanted to meet my teammates" He smiled in a nervous way.
Sasuke looked at Naruto. "It seems like he is afraid own brother" Sasuke smirked.
"I don't care about them right now" He glared at Naruto as he then looked at Hinata and Sasuke who were looking at him.
"What are you two boring loser's staring at" Both Hinata and Sasuke seemed shock while Sasuke frowned at the older male.
"Who do you think you're talking to kid?" The Uchiha glared at Yukki.
"I don't care who I'm talking to" He glared. Sasuke was just about hit the male but Hinata and Naruto was holding him back.
"Tch you friends are boring, now is this girl name Hyuga Hinata?" Yukki asked as he looked at Hinata and then Naruto.
"Yeah…" He blushed as he looked at Hinata.
Yukki walked around her looking at her up and down making the Hyuga nervous while Sasuke was glaring at Yukki.
"Hm, she is okay I guess" He stated as he looked back up at her. "You seem like the quite and shy type" He watched as Hinata blushed at this fact. He growled as he frowned at her.
"I hate shy quite people…they bore me" He stated as Hinata paled.
Yukki then looked at Sasuke. "You seem like the type who girls always try to get your attention. You also look like the strong one of the team…" Sasuke smirked at this. Yukki continued. "But you also have this arrogant aura to you" Sasuke's smile then turned into a frown.
"I hate arrogant people and I don't like cool acting people and emo looking people" He looked back at his younger brother.
"I don't like either one of your teammate's they bore me. I can't stand them already" He stated as he walked back towards the couch as he sat down.
Naruto laughed in a nervous way as he tried to calm down Sasuke who was trying to kill his brother while Hinata looked hurt by his words while pointing her fingers together.
Naruto cleared his throat. "Yukki is just like that from what I can see and I'm sure he'll warm up to you two in no time, right Yukki" Yukki turned to look at his brother.
"I don't know…" Yukki then glanced at Hinata. "But I want to spend time alone with her" Sasuke and Naruto looked at Yukki in shock.
"I want to break her out of that shy shell" He stated before turning back to Naruto. "But not today I have to train" Yukki then stood up as he walked past his brother and Hinata but stopped in front of Sasuke glaring at him.
"Tch…" He growled as he jumped at Sasuke trying to make Sasuke think that he was going to attack him and of course Sasuke quickly got into a fighting stance.
Yukki laughed. "Just what I thought…you scared cat" Yukki grinned as he walked out the door. "I'll be back later" He shouted as he left the apartment.
Sasuke frowned. "I don't like your brother Naruto" He hissed as he looked at Naruto.
"Well sorry there isn't much that I can do about the way he acts. I mean he even yelled at Kakashi-sensei when he first met him and told him that he doesn't like him" He stated.
"The only person he seems to tolerate is me. I introduced him to everyone and just like he did with you two he evaluated each one of them. He called Sakura obsessive compulsive when he found out that she liked Sasuke, he thinks that Rock Lee has no fashion sense, he told Shikamaru that he had no motivation whatsoever, he called Chouji fat and when he saw Ino she was flirting with some guy so he told her that she is ditzy and stupid boy crazy girl…geez Yukki is starting off on the wrong side with everyone" Naruto sighed.
Sasuke then looked at Naruto and smirked. "What did he say about you?"
"He told me that I was hyperactive and colorblind because of my clothes" He pouted as he slightly frowned.
Sasuke chuckled as he looked at Naruto.
"I-It seems like your little brother has no inside voice"
Naruto nodded. "Yeah is does seem like that so far" Sasuke looked at both Hinata and Naruto.
"So he's going to be living with you for awhile now?" He asked.
"Of course, he is my brother and he has nowhere to live and me being his brother and only living relative I'm going to let him stay here" Sasuke's eyes widened as he looked at him while Hinata smiled.
"That's right Naruto" Hinata cheered him on as she looked at him. Naruto blushed as he looked at her scratching the back of his head.
"Well it's nothing I wouldn't do anyways" He smiled in a goofy way. Sasuke looked at the two and slightly frowned.
"Che…" He snorted causing Hinata to look at him.
"Sasuke-kun, are you alright?" She asked while looking at him in a concerned way. He looked at her for a moment before smiling at her.
"I'm fine" She nodded as she looked at him. Naruto looked away from the two feeling rather jealous at the moment. He watched as Sasuke moves slowly over towards Hinata to try to grab her hand.
"Hey, hey, hey" Naruto shouts out loudly causing Hinata to look at him while Sasuke frowned.
"What is it now?" He said in an irritated tone.
"W-Well I was thinking m-maybe…um the three of us should do something together?"
"Oh that sounds great Naruto" Hinata smiled as she then looked at Sasuke. "What do you think Sasuke?" He blushed as he looked at her.
"Whatever" He replied with a sigh causing both Naruto and Hinata grinned.
"Alright then let's go" Naruto stated as he walked out the door. As Hinata was walking towards the door to follow Naruto out she felt someone grabbed her hand. She looked back to see Sasuke but he wasn't looking at her.
"S-Sasuke…?"
"Let's go before he leaves us" He said not once letting go of her hand. She blushed as she looked up at him before looking back down.
"Thank you, Sasuke-kun" She whispered as she gave his hand a gently squeeze.
Sasuke looked down at her and blushed. "What are you thanking me for?" She looked up at him blushed as she looked back down.
"For staying by my side…" She blushed. He looked at her for the longest getting ready to say something that is until he heard Naruto yelling them to hurry up.
"Dummy" He mumbled before tugging Hinata to start walking.
XXX
As the three were walking Naruto glanced over to see Sasuke holding Hinata's hand before looking away but then he did a double look.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING SASUKE?" Naruto yelled out as he pointed to Sasuke holding Hinata's hand.
"What?" He asked in a calm tone. Hinata looked embarrassed as she looked away from both of her friends.
"You heard me. I asked why you are holding Hinata's hand" He fumed. Sasuke looked down at his hand in Hinata's as he looked back at Naruto.
"I forgot that I was holding her hand, sorry Hinata" He stated as he let her hand go.
"How can you forget something like that, you idiot" Naruto then looked at Hinata. "Hinata, do like Sasuke?" He asked as he looked at her.
"N-Naruto-kun w-why are you asking me such a question?"
"She doesn't like me. She told me herself once" He looked at Hinata for minute with mixed emotions in his eyes. "Isn't that right Hinata?" He asked her as he looked at her slightly frowning.
Naruto looked at Hinata and noticed that she didn't say anything. "That still doesn't explain why YOU were holding Hinata's hand"
"Because I felt like it" He stated as he started walking away from both Hinata and Naruto.
Naruto frowned as he looked at Sasuke walking away. "I don't get him sometimes" Naruto mumbled to himself as he started walking to catch up with Sasuke as did Hinata.
As the three were walking Sasuke glanced over at Hinata before looking away. "What's with you…why do you keep staring at her?" He frowned.
"Because I feel like it, do you have a problem with that?"
"Yes I do"
"Well too bad"
"P-Please Naruto, S-Sasuke, don't start fighting" Hinata begged as she looked at the two.
"Shut-up and stay out of it!" Sasuke snapped as he looked at her.
Her eyes widened as she looked at him remembering how he said the same thing to her the time he and Gaara were fighting.
Sasuke noticed how she was looking at him as he looked at her. "I-I'm sorry Hinata I didn't mean to-"Before he could even finish his sentence she ran away from both boys.
Naruto gave him the death glare before running after Hinata.
XXX
"Hinata, wait up!" Naruto shouted after Hinata as he ran to catch up with her. Hinata made a stop as she turned around. "Hinata, you shouldn't let Sasuke get to you. You know…he really cares about you" Naruto admitted as he looked away from her.
Hinata looked at him not saying anything just letting him finish talking. "I don't like him snapping at you like that but that's just Sasuke you know he doesn't mean it, right Hinata"
"Sometimes I don't really know what to think" She whispered.
"Well trust me he doesn't mean it" He grinned as he looked at her. She smiled as she looked at him.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun"
He nodded with a grin. "Now come on let's hurry to find Sasuke before he goes home" She nodded as they both walked off to find Sasuke.
XXX
As Sasuke was walking he started thinking about Hinata. He really didn't mean to snap at her…it seems like he has a bit of a habit of doing that to her. He sighed.
"Hi Sasuke" Sasuke didn't recognize the voice so he continued walking that is until the person grabbed him in a death grip by his arm.
"Sasuke, didn't you hear me calling you?" She asked in a deadly tone.
Sasuke's eyes widened when he looked at her. "You? What do you want?" Natsume grinned as she looked at him.
"Well I wanted to see you silly. I haven't seen you since our double date with your two teammates" She smiled as she snuggled closer towards him. He cringed as she yanked himself away from her.
"Don't touch me" Natsume looked hurt by his words but then she put on the deadliest glare that scared him.
"Don't touch you, huh?" She glared at him.
Sasuke looked at the girl. "This girl really has some issues" He thought as he watched her get closer and closer towards him.
"Sasuke, I will not be ignored" She frowned. Sasuke looked at the girl but then behind her when he noticed Hinata and Naruto making they're way towards them.
"Hey, Sasuke" Natsume stopped when she heard Naruto's voice. Sasuke quickly left Natsume's side and walked over towards Hinata.
"Oh you're Naruto and Hinata right?" They both nodded. "It's good to see the both of you again" She smiled. Naruto grinned and nodded while Hinata smiled at the girl.
"S-Sasuke…I-"
"Sorry…for snapping at you" She looked at him with shock eyes. He smiled as he looked at her. "So shocked to hear me say sorry?" He joked as he looked at her. She blushed as she looked at him before looking away.
Natsume looked at Sasuke and then Hinata as she slightly frowned at the female Hyuuga. "Hey you there, Hyuga Hinata, what is your relationship to my Sasuke?"
"He is my friend" She responded back to Natsume.
"Tch friend you say…I don't believe that" She narrowed her eyes as Hinata. "Well I better get going now…bye Sasuke" She smiled as she blow him a kiss before walking away.
Naruto looked at both Sasuke and Hinata and sighed. "That girl is weird. First she acts one way and then another way. I don't get her"
"She's bi-polar or something…" Sasuke mumbled. Naruto nodded and mouthed an 'oh' before not saying anything else.
"PEVERTED-SENSEI" Naruto cringed and paled at the voice.
"That idiot, I told him not to call Kakashi-sensei that…" Naruto groaned as he turned to look at Sasuke and Hinata. "I have to go now…" Naruto than ran off to go find his brother.
Sasuke smirked to himself. "Naruto is going to have a load on his hands with that one" Sasuke stated referring to Yukki. Hinata nodded her head.
"Yukki is just not use to the people around him" Sasuke shook his head. "That guy was even acting like that when we first saw him…it's just his personality and I don't his going to change it either" Both Uchiha and Hyuuga sighed at the thought.
Sasuke then looked over at Hinata and smiled which she noticed. "What is i-it Sasuke?" She asked.
"I'm just glad that you are safe…Hinata" He then did something Hinata would have never thought he would do…he pulled her into an embrace. "Hinata, you mean a lot to me and if I ever lost you I don't know what I'll do" He whispered to her as he held her in his arms.
"S-Sasuke…" She noticed how he was shaking in her arms. "Sasuke…are you okay?" She asked trying to pull back to look at him.
"I'm fine Hinata, please don't worry about me" He smiled as he pulled back slightly to look at her. She blushed as she looked up at him causing him to smirk.
"You sure are blushing a lot around me Hinata, are you sure you don't secretly like me" He joked but his eyes widened when she didn't respond only blush more and buried her face in his shirt.
"H-Hinata…?" He was blushing just as much as she was. "Does this mean she likes me back?" He thought as he looked down at her.
Hinata removed herself from Sasuke as she backed away from him. "I must get going now" She said quickly as she ran off leaving him standing there with the blush still on his face.
XXX
"I'm so sorry Kakashi-sensei…I'm sure Yukki is sorry as well aren't you, brother?" Naruto glared at his brother.
"No, I'm not saying sorry to this old geezer" Kakashi looked at him with wide eyes.
"O-Old geezer?" Kakashi stuttered as he looked at Yukki.
"YUKKI! How dare you talk to Kakashi-sensei like that? Show some respect" Yukki pouted and turned his head.
"Sorry I can't do that, the only respect I will show is to Maiki-sensei and you Naruto no one else" He stated. Naruto looked at Kakashi in a sorry way.
"I'm so sorry Kakashi-sensei. He may be my older brother but it seems like I have to teach him to show respect for others" Kakashi just frowned at the older Naruto as he walked away with the book in his hand.
"So he is an old geezer and a pervert" Yukki snorted only to have Naruto hit in over the head.
"What's the matter with you?" Yukki just grinned at him causing Naruto to sigh.
"What am I going to do with you?"
XXX
Weeks have past and Sasuke and Hinata seemed to have gotten closer…but not in a sense to where they are dating more like best friends. Naruto would be jealous but he sees both of them as his best friends as well so he doesn't seem to get jealous like he use to.
But this past week things have been different. Sasuke has been acting very distant towards both Naruto and Hinata. Sasuke was currently in the hospital from they're last mission.
"I don't understand…how is it that that dobe has become stronger than I? Even Itachi is more concerned about Naruto than he is me?" Sasuke frowned as he started thinking about to when Itachi came to Konoha in search of Naruto to when Aoi told Sasuke that he was the weakest member of the Uchiha clan.
While he was in the hospital Naruto and Hinata were in there with him. Sasuke was glaring holes in the grinning blonde eyes but Naruto didn't seem to noticed because he was so into talking to Hinata.
Hinata was peeling an apple for Sasuke while smiling. "U-Um…h-here you go Sasuke-kun I peeled them all" She smiled cheerful at him as she handed him the plate only for him to slap the plate away from him and glare at Naruto.
"S-Sasuke?" Hinata said in a startle way. Naruto frowned at he looked at Sasuke.
"What the hell is your problem?" Naruto yelled.
"Fight me…now" Sasuke demanded as he glared at Naruto with his Sharingan activated. Naruto and Hinata looked at him in shock.
"Sasuke…"
Sasuke then stood up and looked at him ignoring Hinata. "Fight me now idiot…don't you want to? Or are you afraid?"
Naruto smirked as he looked at him. "Humpf…I was just thinking about fighting you too" Hinata looked at the two and noticed their serious expression.
"P-Please you t-two don't fight" She begged only to be ignored as they both walked out the room and up towards the roof.
XXX
Sasuke and Naruto were both on the roof looking at each other until Naruto started laughing which made Sasuke angry.
"What are you laughing about?"
Naruto looked up at him still smirking. "I'm excited…" Sasuke frowned at him.
"Put on your forehead protector first" Sasuke shook his head making Naruto angry. "Put it on Sasuke. It states that we are fighting as equals" Sasuke still refused.
"You can't land a scratch on my forehead…I don't need it" Sasuke than runs towards Naruto.
Naruto dodged Sasuke's kick style of fighting. The two continue their blows on equal footing until Naruto Kage Bunshins surround Sasuke. He takes out a few and then uses his tiger seal to do Blazing Fireball to destroy the Naruto clones and most of the roof.
Naruto then prepares Rasengan while Sasuke prepares Chidori and the two boys run at each other at top speed.
Hinata looks at the in a horrified way. "N-No! N-Naruto! Sasuke! Please stop! STOP FIGHTING" She screams out as she rushed in between them.
XXX
Hinata jumps between the two dueling boys but suddenly Kakashi appears and grabs the hands of each of the boys, redirecting their blows into two nearly water towers. Water gushes from Sasuke's blow but only trickles from the tower Naruto hit. Sasuke smirked when he notices his compared to Naruto's.
"That attack…" Kakashi looked at Naruto but then back at Sasuke.
"I told you not to use that attack so carelessly and on your teammate the less" Kakashi scowled Sasuke.
Sasuke snorted as he looked at Kakashi. "I don't have time to listen to a lecture" Sasuke then does back flips over the fence to see the back of the water towers.
He looks up to see that Naruto's rasengan blew away the entire back of his water tower! Sasuke hisses in anger as he grits his teeth together and slams his fist on the wall.
"Naruto…how much stronger are you getting?" He hissed in his mind.
XXX
Hinata looked at Naruto has he was walking towards her. "Naruto…I-"
"Hinata next time don't interfere" He stated in a serious tone as he walked passed her leaving her standing there in shock.
"…Naruto…"
XXX
Sasuke heads to a quiet spot where he can be alone with his thoughts as he starts thinking about how his brother Itachi kick his butt when he came by the village not to long ago. "It's like I'm not even getting stronger…I've been training but it doesn't show it at all" Sasuke frowned but looked up when he felt wires being tired to him wrapping around a tree so he couldn't escape.
"What the hell!" Sasuke looks up to see Kakashi looking down at him.
"You know I've seen a lot of people who live for revenge. All have only ended up suffering. If you do get your revenge you will only feel more hatred"
"How would you feel if I killed a person most important to you" Sasuke yells out at him.
"I no longer have anyone important. They've died long ago" Sasuke looks at him in shock. "I've lived though bad times and know what it feels like to lose the people close to you, but now we have Hinata and Naruto. I gave you the Chidori to protect them, not hurt them or seek revenge" Kakashi then loosens the wire from around Sasuke.
"Think about that Sasuke" Kakashi stated before disappearing leaving Sasuke to think about Kakashi's words.
XXX
All three genin lose themselves in thoughts. Hinata remembering all the happy moments she shared with Sasuke and Naruto while Naruto reminisces about how he and Sasuke have always been friendly rivals. As Sasuke is weighing his friendship with his teammates against his quest for revenge.
XXX
"Orochimaru-sama was it necessary to send the Sound ninjas to retrieve Sasuke? I honestly don't think Sasuke stands a chance" Orochimaru smirks a he starts laughing.
"That's why Sasuke will seek me for power" He smirked.
XXX
"Uchiha Sasuke…you're coming with us" Sasuke looks up to see three men and one woman staring down at him.
"Who the hell are you four?" Sasuke hissed as he looked at the four.
