Chapter 7: The tension

a/n: Hey guys so sorry about my lack of updates this week. My life has been fun. Full of girls calling me obsessed, to girls lying then arguing with to people not leaving me alone. You name it, it happened this past week! Yeeesh and all I wanted to do was update my freaking series!

I sat at next to Fu's unmoving shape for what felt like days. In reality it was only about 2 or 3 hours. She began to stir and I looked over my shoulder.

"Where am I?" She said her gaze foggy. "Naruto where are we?" She said looking at me puzzled

"Where in my house." I replied somberly.

"Hous – wait you have a HOUSE?!" She shouted. Her gaze cleared up and her mouth dropped.

"We're in Konoha. They've got me right where they want me. Just not how they want me. My guess is that they want me to have these seals permanently infused with my body putting extreme ties on them." I said looking into the distance.

"But why?" she said her head cocking sideways.

"Because I set them off course." I said "Plus I got my seals removed, so I can fight to my full potential. Come on we're going to go to the Uchiha district. If anyone can help us stay concealed right now it's the last remaining Uchiha." I started to get up but she jumped on me, taking me by surprise.

"Oh no you don't! You just fought a battle with the five kage, got rid of your seals, teleported yourself and I here and sat on guard duty for who knows how long!"

"3 hours at the most" I grumbled.

"You need your rest. Doctor's orders" she said and wouldn't move until I promised to sleep. Then she sat where I had bit sitting and I was lying where she was. She was pretty damn protective, which was kind of ironic. After that I passed out.

-Back With The 5 Kage-

"Well shit he fooled us again." Tsunade said disappointed

"We'll keep searching." Gaara and Mei told her

"That brat is stronger than he looks somehow he's been training." Ay said agitatedly

"Oh relax it was interesting all the same." Onoki smirked at Ay's irritation.

"We must go to our separate villages briefly to catch up on intel and then reconvene at the usual spot. Though Gaara can you meet me in the leaf a few days earlier I need your help scouting something out." Tsunade said before they all jumped away.

"Sure" Gaara said on the wind as he rode away in the air on sand.

- Back With Naruto & Fu-

I'd woken up several hours ago but had been debating whether or not too alert Fu. I saw the sun go down after that I pretended to wake up.

"Evening Naruto" she said smiling.

"Oh hi" I said stretching.

"What and when is dinner?"

"I dunno." I gripped her wrist and flickered outside my building

"Would you stop that!" she whined. "We don't need to be that stealthy."

"Naruto" I heard a calm cold voice speak.

"Oh." Fu said blushing.

"Sasuke" I said nodding in his direction.

"I won't reveal you're here yet. You must be hungry, and well I'm not sure I want you staying in such a small area. Since you're…my only friend" Sasuke said so matter o' factly. I nodded and ran with him towards the Uchiha district Fu was blushing all the way there until we reached Sasuke's house where he turned around and tripped Fu. "Stop blushing over me. I'm nothing special – I have enough fangirls within this damn village." He said angrily. She got up and frowned.

"why?"

"Because, You've got someone who fits you better in front of your face, dweeb" he said clearly addressing her about me. His Sharigan activated briefly before he walked inside. We followed after a good dinner and long discussions about the past and the time I was away I finally finished making my decision.

"Sasuke, will you let us stay here for a while?"

"Go for it." He said like he'd be planning to offer anyways.

"Thanks" I said grinning

"Only one rule." He said beginning to smile a genuine smile.

"Whats that?" I said willing to comply to any rule Sasuke insisted upon.

"You two have to sleep in the same bed." He said smirking deviously. I got shivers down my back and I looked over at Fu she was blushing very deeply

"a-alright" I said shaking myself free of the awkwardness. "You okay with that Fu?"

"More than okay with it" she said smiling. I sighed it was time for bed. I headed to our room and passed out again quickly. The following morning I woke up with Fu cuddled against me. I sighed and slipped away from her. I tried not to disturb her but by the time I got dressed she was awake rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning…Sleepyhead" I told her smiling. I almost walked out of the district before I remember I couldn't. I looked around the corner. No one was around. I needed to get some quick things. I ran towards the general store. Once arriving I saw several ninja who were in my class and a few above. Hinata was there and I saw her blush when she saw me. She turned away putting her face into Kiba's Jacket.

"Huh? What's the matter Hinata?" Kiba said looking down at her. Before looking up at seeing me. "are you the reason she's like this?!" He said stomping over to me before picking me up with his hand.

"Weak as ever. Kiba" I said kicking him in the face forcing him to let go of me. I did a few backwards summersaults through the air and landed on my feet. I walked out of the store my stuff long forgotten.

"Who do you think you are punk. The only who can call me weak is neji…Naruto used to but he's not here now!" He said getting sad dwelling on my name a moment before running towards me. He punched me backwards into the street and I fell onto all fours.

"Good to know." I said growling quietly.

a/n: alright alright more cliff hangers because I could. Freaking yes I can't wait to see how this turns out. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Yes #1 nuckleheaded ninja still exists apparently because this will obviously not go unnoticed. R&R and good night!
