As Sasuke reached the village, he looked at the petite frame of his ex-teammate and looked at her with an apologic smile on his face
"You will finally get revenge on your death when Naruto kills me" he whispered to Sakura as he bent down to lay his head on the crown of her once beautiful pink hair. It was now full of blood and all mixed up from the dried blood.
At that moment he saw the village gate from far away and stopped to look at the village where he grew up.
At was now around two in the morning and Sasuke was ready to go in. He knew that everyone was asleep except for the guards who where at the entry of Konoha.
Sasuke knew that he would have no problem to pass in front of them without being noticed. So he did a trick Orochumaru thought him before he killed him. The Uchia got ready and super speeded through the gates. He knew the guards didn't see anything because of the dark and because he was so fast that it was impossible to see for someone who didn't have some special ocular jutsu.
He continued his high speed and then went to the Hokage's mansion were Naruto was most likely sleeping. As he was on his way he saw something he wished he would never have to see again. The little park and bench where Sakura had declared her feelings for him." Sasuke… please don't leave, please, if you leave ill be alone…" "Thank you Sakura" That scene had hunted him for years and now he was back to the place where it happened… He stopped suddently and looked at the banch were he had layed for someone to find… memories… he had regretted that moment for years… why didn't he stay with her? He didn't know… At that, he just couldn't stay any longer he stated sprinting again.
He ran straight to the mansion kicking back the floods of memories of Sakura that was going through his mind. " No,I have no right" He told himself " I killed her, I can't and don't deserve to think of her, she has always been kind to me while I turned my back on her. I don't deserve her" He stormed inside the Hokage's mansion without anybody noticing him. He was almost astonished to no limit he was an S-class criminal and yet nobody retraced him even though he made no efforts so mask his chakra.
At that moment he heard someone walking down the hall and two people talking while walking toward him. They didn't seem to have noticed him and soon they will be on him. He looked down to Sakura and said "Forgive me Sakura" And stayed in place just waiting for the two people coming toward him.

Naruto couldn't sleep. He felt like something happened to their top medic. He scolded himself for that' "I don't trust Sakura-chan enough he said to himself, she is my team mate and the best medic…I have to trust her more. Nothing can happen to her, she promised me she won't die, so she won't" he said to himself. But he still could not go to sleep. He looked at his clock.
1:54 am
He tried again but couldn't after five minutes. He couldn't take it anymore so he got out of bed putted on hid ninja clothes and left his bedroom and decided to wake up Granny Tsunade to ask for more advices. He knew she would end up listening to him because she knew there would be no other way to get some sleep with an annoying blond brat calling her. He smiled at his plan and got to granny's room.
He was surprised to see her up and not drunk with that. Everybody knew that the fourth Hokage was a sleeper and a drinker so seeing her in the early morning hours neither sleeping, nor drinking or drunk was a miracle… A bit like him not eating no ramen for a week and start to eat veggies.
She was seating on her bed and was crying or something like that. She noticed he was here and stopped to look at him.
"What's wrong Granny?"
"…some-something happened I can't locate Sakura… I think something happened to her."
Naruto looked like he had been hit in the face by her. Well that w2ould of hurted less than what she just told him. So he had been right…
"Granny… lets go walk around the building and talk okay? I'm sure she's ok I mean what could possibly happen to her, right?" He asked nervously
" Right she's a strong girl, lets walk around and let me teach you some things.."
"Yeah, thanks you're the best Granny !" He said feeling a bit better that she wasn't to serious about her premonition.
They started to walk as she talked to him about her team and his father. Then she started to pout about how the sake was not as commonly found as when she was Hokage, Naruto laugh and promised to try to make her favorite type of sake to be sold here because he was the Hokage.
They kept on walking around and around the mansion over and over but neither of them was tired, or maybe they were just afraid of falling asleep and dream. And dreaming about Sakura. A hidden terror past both of them and they looked at each other. They had thought about the same thing at the same time.
They continued walking trying to get their minds off Sakura and talked about anything they could pass for a decent conversation. Then suddenly stopped and looked around they had sensed something… but they didn't know what so they shrugged and kept on walking brushing it on a guard or something.
They kept on for some time not noticing they were getting close to Naruto's room again, and a certain dark-haired Sharingan user.
They where suddenly in front of him.
Naruto gasped and suddenly he saw another body that Sasuke was holding and as he looked closer he saw pink hair… And his blood turned icy. He had killed Sakura. That bastard Sasuke had killed the girl that had believe him to be able to change and went on that mission alone to go get him. Why was she always the one hurt? Naruto was getting more angry by the second.
Then Sasuke talked.
"I'm sorry" He whispered. Naruto could not believe his ears, he thought he was imaginating it but when he saw Tsunade's face he knew that he wasn't she looked like she suddenly aged millions of years. It must kill her to see her student dead in the arms of the man that she was suppose to bring back.
"Sasuke, what the hell are you doing here?" Naruto shouted, feeling the rage inside of him and getting bigger by the second" How dare you come back here after all the what you've done? After you've killed her one of the last persons to still trust you, even after all the what you've done to her?"
"I-I'm sorry, I came to surrender… kill me Naruto" He said
Naruto looked taken aback from that and so did Tsunade for that matter.
"You what!?"
"You heard me dope don't make say it again" Sasuke answered lowering his head trying to hold back the fact that he was going to cry again. And Naruto saw it and he understood that he did love Sakura, so he didn't kill her on purpose. Which was good he guessed, that meant Sasuke cared for someone.
Tsunade seemed to have reached the same conclusion, because when he turned to look at her, she nodded. Sasuke then something even more unexpected he looked at Sakura with affection and turned to Tsunade, I think she has a very light beat, you are the best medic, and please I beg you, do your best to heal her. I've been passing my chakra through her to keep her heart beating.
Tsunade nodded took Sakura from his arms and she saw the unfailing tears in his eyes and said "Did you care about my student?"
"… Yes" he whispered
"… I can heal her" said Tsunade in a gentle voice "you had good reflex"
"please kill me Naruto, kill me like I wanted to kill you"
" I can't… I cant let the Sharingan disappear Sasuke…" Naruto started uneasely, he knew that this excuse would work "Sharingan was always important to Konoha so as the Hokage I cant let you die. And besides" he added in a soft voice " Sakura would never forgive me if I killed you since, Granny said she can heal her, when she wake up she would have my head within five minutes, if I told her that you died from my hand."
"Sasuke looked pained but when he heard another breathing he turned to Sakura and saw her chest lifting and falling, she was breathing!"
"I have a deal for you Sasuke, you can choose of course. You stay in Konoha swear to never harm the village and defend it, and revive your clan like you wanted. I am able to pass that without the elders consent as well as you punishment"
The word punishment didn't pass very well to Sasuke but he did deserve anything that will happen to him.
"Or" Naruto added, "I put you on the list to torture in the Intelligence division, where Ibiki will take care of you and you will stay there for the rest of you life." Naruto finished
Sasuke was about to answer when something moved at the corner of his eyes, he turned and saw Sakura, she moved her arm to touch Tsunade's, who looked so surprised that she stopped working for a second, but quickly started again, she wasn't suppose to move so early. Sakura's willpower was very impressive.
Sasuke bent his head and said "Naruto, put me on house arrest for as long as you want or do anything you want to me… I want to see Sakura, I want her to know from my own mouth that I tried to kill her… I want to see her again"
Naruto wasn't expecting that, but he nodded and added " Tsunade, finish with Sakura at the hospital that convoke the Yamanaka leader. I want him t tell me exactly what is happening in Sasuke's head. And while he waits, chain him with chakra restrain chains and tie him to an hospital bed. We don't want him to change his mind now"
"As good as done" She replied and transported herself with Sakura and Sasuke to the hospital.
Naruto watched them leave and said to himself "well I don't think that sleeping now is a good idea." And walked down to the Hokages Office to get himself a good strong coffee.
What a night ! And he smiled to himself and left "what a night!"
