~Betrayal~

"I want to go on a mission to find Sasuke," Naruto said. His expression was completely blank but his eyes made it perfectly clear what he was feeling. He had never been one to fully mask his emotions, after all. Hope, desperation and determination filled his cerulean blue orbs.

Tsunade sat behind her desk, her hands were clasped together infront of her in exasperation or prayer. She looked at the blond boy infront of her and said simply, "No."

Naruto's eye twitched. "What do you mean?" He demanded as his body trembled with rage.

"No. I will not allow you to look for Sasuke," Tsunade repeated calmly.

"I have to bring him back!" Naruto yelled.

"He betrayed Konoha-"

"I don't care!"

"He also betrayed Sakura-"

"I don't care!"

"For Kami's sake, he betrayed you!"

"I. Don't. Care!"

Tsunade slammed her fist against the desk. "Open your eyes, Naruto!"

"I love him," Naruto whispered brokenly.

Tsunade's eyes softened. Naruto had never admitted it to her but she always knew his feelings for Sasuke went far deeper than friendship. "He has done nothing but hurt you."

"I know," Naruto's gaze dropped to the floor. "He broke his promise but I...I still couldn't stop loving him. It hurts so much, baa-chan."

Tsunade felt as though her heart would break for the boy infront of her. "I know, brat. I know it hurts..."

"Will you let me go find him?" Naruto asked hopefully.

"He's almost killed you twice. It's too dangerous!"

Naruto frowned. Nothing said betrayal quite like a chidori through the chest. "This time will be different. Even if it isn't I'd rather die at his hand than anyone else's."

"That's what scares me," Tsunade muttered. "I just want you to be happy."

"If you want me to be happy you should give me the mission," Naruto replied.

Tsunade considered this for a moment. "Fine but this is the last time I'll let you go after that traitor."

Naruto grinned widely and leaned over the desk to hug her. "Thanks, baa-chan!"
