Again thanks to all of you who reviewed the previous chapter and answered my question, really appreciated. Now as for the question concerning Sasuke, well seeming as all of you who answered wanted him to leave with Itachi and Naruto this chapter will mainly be focused on how they became closer leading up to were I left off in the previous chapter.

Naruto was on his way to meet up with Itachi and Mikoto for his training when he decided to stop by at Ichiraku's to have some breakfast ramen. About a month had past since his first lesson with the Uchiha's and he had to admit it was going really well and he had improved loads. But, there was one thing that was bothering him and that was his training partner Sasuke. To be quite honest he didn't find anything wrong with the Uchiha now that he had stopped his grumping thanks to the influence Itachi had had on him during their training. He had begun wondering why he hadn't tried to become friends with the young boy. That was when he decided the and then that he was going to try and become friends with Sasuke before he left even if it killed him.

He was awakened from his thoughts by Ayame, the young waitress at his favourite ramen stand asking him what was wrong.

"Just caught up in my thoughts that's all, nothing to worry about believe it!" Declared Naruto relieving the young waitress of her worry as he downed his tenth bowl of ramen. He ordered another bowl and carried on talking to the young girl. He was too busy with his talk to realise the presence of another who had just walked into the stand. Still oblivious to the person next to him he wandered who Ayame was smiling at as it clearly wasn't him. He turned in his chair to face the way the young girl was looking in. Turning round he saw someone who didn't ever expect to see sitting next to him here ever.

"Sasuke? What are you doing here?" Asked a puzzled blonde to his training partner.

Answering the question implied for Sasuke Ayame answered "Sasuke has been coming here regularly at this time for about a month now but I guess seeming as you hardly ever come in the mornings you missed him"

"Ahh OK then well it's nice to see you here Sasuke how are you this morning?" Asked Naruto giving the raven haired boy a huge foxy grin.

"As good as I could be I guess, it's a surprise to see you here Baka" replied Sasuke earning himself a glare from Naruto which clearly amused him.

"Teme!" Shot back Naruto before continuing on to say "anyway I was wandering if I could walk with you back to the compound to meet Itachi-kun and aunt Mikoto"

Naruto expecting the answer to be no was surprised when the young Uchiha replied "sure why not" although it was short and wouldn't keen much to many others but to Naruto it meant loads.

'One step closer to my first friend my age' he thought letting a smile crop onto his face. Ayame had served Sasuke his ramen during their conversation and now was almost finished so Naruto downed his last three bowls and waited for his company to finish, once he had the pair left the stand and made their way towards the compound training grounds.

Back at the stand Ayame was standing next to her father the owner of the stand and said to him"it would be so nice to see those to as friends wouldn't it?"

Back with Naruto, him and Sasuke had arrive d at the usual spot a little early so whilst they were waiting Naruto had suggested that they spar. Of course Sasuke agreed and the two were currently standing across each other sizing the other up. Then, as if a trigger had gone of both boys charged at each other engaging in a taijutsu duel. At first Sasuke seemed to have the upper hand but Naruto changed that as he landed a kick right on Sasuke's jaw. Both boys jumping back stood looking at each other breathing heavily before Sasuke started things off again with a clan special 'grand fireball jutsu'

Naruto swiftly dodged and seeing an opening took it to his advantage and charged at Sasuke with his katana out, the blade glistening in the light of the beautiful day. The Uchiha prodigy dodged the first blow only to be winded by a elbow stab to his stomach.

In the bushes just on the outskirts on the plain the two boys were sparing watched a pleased Mikoto along with her son. Watching the pair spar gave her hope that one day her little Naruto will have a friend he could truly trust. The two older Uchiha had arrived just as the younger pair had started their spar but didn't want to interrupt decided just to keep watch from the bushes.

After watching them for a while now Mikoto couldn't help but feel happy for the boys in front of her as they were finally accepting each other as friends.

Sasuke aimed another fire jutsu at Naruto this time it being the 'phoenix flower' jutsu. Narut tried his hardest to either block or dodge the incoming attack but due to the sheer numbers of fireballs he had to allow some of them to hit their target. Quickly recovering the blonde retaliated with his own jutsu. "Wind style: wind swords" shouted Naruto.

Sasuke not seeing anything happen assumed that the just had failed so got ready for another attack when he felt a sharp pain shoot up his arm followed by several other jags across his entire body. Looking down over his body he could see that he was covered in small but deep cuts which were bleeding badly. Wasting enough time examining his cuts Sasuke looked up to attack Naruto bit found the blonde boy to be nowhere in sight. Looking all around his surrounding area, Sasuke still couldn't find any sign of his sparring partner. Then just before it was too late he turned around blocking a sword attack from said blonde. Both boys starting to get extremely tiered decided that this last move would decide the outcome of the spar.

"Wind Style: Air pressure" shouted Naruto going through various hand seals before finishing and realising his attack before Sasuke had a chance to finish his. All around him it felt as if the sky itself was crushing down on him pushing him against the earth not giving him the chance to even stand. Just before he was crushed to the ground Sasuke finished the last sign he needed and set off his jutsu " Fire Style: Fire heat wave" he shouted.

Naruto stared in awe at the huge wall of fire moving towards him at a great speed. He wasn't too surprised though considering who it was that he was up against. Quickly going through his options on what to do he came to two conclusions in what to do. One- use the basic water jutsu he was taught to try and weaken the great fire wall and two- try somehow to dodge the jutsu. Deciding that his second choice was near impossible started going through the necessary hand signs for his technique. Finally finishing the last sign he shouted "Water style: Water wall jutsu"

Seeing that his wall did its job in weakening the fire wall the remains of the attack we still heading his way, deciding to take to head on the young boy collided with the fire wall giving him several serious burns.

Both boys laying on the floor started to laugh. Laughing at the fun they had both just found it weird to hear the Uchiha laughing but ignored it as he got up and walked over to were he was laying. Considering the justsu had finished he wondered why the boy didn't get up but remembered that he healed at an incredibly fast pace compared to others due to the foxes chairs. Speaking of the fox Naruto had forgot to bring him to training, putting the thought of being moaned at by the Kyuubi to the back of his mind and offered his hand to the Uchiha to help him up.

Much to Naruto' delight the boy accepted his help and he staggered as he got to his feet so for extra support Naruto put his arm around Sasuke's waste as the boy he was helping had his arm across his shoulders and was putting most of his weight on him.

"Thanks Baka, for the help and for the fun" said limping Sasuke attempting to walk over to the tree with Naruto. Although the blonde boy seemed to me less injured than him he still seemed to be in pain.

"Hey no problem teme that's what friends do for each other right?" Said a hopeful Naruto looking towards Sasuke eagerly awaiting his answer, the answer that would change his life for the better he hoped.

"Yeah I guess so Baka" Sasuke said as the pair collapsed as they had reached the tree. Struggling to keep his eyes open finally gave in as he saw Naruto had done the same "yeah that's what we do for each other " said Sasuke before completely giving into his exhaustion.

Back in current time Naruto still couldn't get past his friend.

"Just hear me out " in a way which almost sounded as if he was pleading.

"I can't I have to go" said Naruto desperate to get past the Uchiha. Seeing as it was pointless until he heard what he had to say he said " fine but be quick about it OK?"

Sasuke took a deep breath then said "I want to hep you both, I want to join you's"

Naruto was in complete shock he couldn't believe what he had just heard, Sasuke wanted to help them but why? He happily accepted the boy t join the and asked him the question that was on his mind whilst they were heading to meet Itachi.

"I know what my clan is up to and if it means choosing between my clan or the village and my friends I would choose the village any day" answered Sasuke making his partner fell all mushy and warm inside. He didn't let it on but he was so happy when Naruto accepted him as a friend, it was one of the best things that had ever happened to him so he wasn't going to let him go now, now was he?

'I finally have a true friend' thought Naruto letting a smile appear on his face as he explained the plan to Sasuke. Not long after they arrived a the gates and saw in the shadows Itachi waiting on them. "I see you decided to join us after all" said Itachi looking at Sasuke "I assume that Naruto has informed you in on the plan?"

"Yes he did on the way here" explained Sasuke looking back at the Uchiha.

"Ok, this is it it's now or never!" Exclaimed Naruto not wanting to feel like the third wheel.

"OK then let's go" said the oldest Uchiha present and with those ewords the three entered and started to unfold their plan on the destruction of the Uchiha's uprising.

In the next chapter will be the start of Naruto and co's plan to bring down the Uchiha's.

I hope you don't mind that the story didn't move on very much I felt that I needed to say a bit about how Naruto and Sasuke became friends or it would be a tad weird.
