Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor do I own it's characters. I make no money with this.
Author's Note: New chapter up. Uh, not that much to say at this point, except the usual sorry it took me so long. On a brighter note: I've got chapters 49 and 50 done and beta'ed. *cheers* ^_^ I'll try to post them within the next 8 days. xD Let's hope I can at least manage that much... ^^''
Moron
"I fucking told you I'm no good with that kind of explosives!" Naruto hollered as he jumped off the next branch, propelling himself forward at neck-break speed. Sasuke fleetingly wondered how the heck he still managed to perfectly dodge all those goddamn low-hanging branches that he himself kept almost running into – even with his sharingan.
"That had nothing to do with being good with them!" he yelled right back, bringing his hands up just in time to avoid losing his left eye to one of those twigs that were so damn intent on getting in his way right now. The cut it left in his skin was deep enough to bleed.
"It was not my goddamn fault, asshole!" Naruto continued at just the same volume, completely ignoring Sasuke's colorful cursing.
"Like hell it wasn't!"
"Just shut the fuck up! How is it my fault that you can't listen to me for three goddamn seconds! I told you your plan sucked and I told you so twice!"
"Don't you fucking blame your incapability on someone else! If you had just done what I told you to do there wouldn't have been any pro–-!"
"–You fucking know I suck at genjutsu!" Naruto suddenly exploded. There was absolutely no warning – except the obvious, of course – before his next action and Sasuke knew there was no chance to dodge the moment Naruto spun around and, seemingly without losing speed in the turn, came at him.
The impact was hard – the blond could be like a wall of concrete sometimes – and oh so unexpected – at least to Naruto, it seemed. Still, the blond somehow managed to spin them around before they hit the ground, taking the brute of the fall.
"You... Fuck, what the...!" Naruto gasped after a few seconds of staring up into the treetops, small twigs they'd broken off on their way down and stray leaves raining down on them.
"Ugh," was all Sasuke managed, suddenly lacking the strength – and the will – to go on about how anyone could be this stupid. "I hate you..."
For a few blessed seconds, it didn't matter that they'd been on the run within enemy territory only seconds ago or that it was all Naruto's damn fault or that Naruto stubbornly refused to accept this. The world was just sugar and sweets and rainbows – mixed with a lot of bruises and small cuts and oh well, whatever...
Then, about twenty enemy shinobi burst from the trees surrounding them and Sasuke remembered why he was still going to kill Naruto once this was over.
