(Here you go my friends.)
A week passed since the Hokage's ceremony, and the village was exactly as it used to be before the invasion took place. Tsunade was hard at work as the Hokage doing paperwork much to her misfortune, while Hun and Shizune started going out occasionally when both weren't on duty. On a sunny afternoon, Naruto in his armor was at the training area training with his foot ninja and Ino in her armor as well.
Naruto was taking on all off of his Foot ninja troops, as they each came at him trying to best their master, but they couldn't defeat him, "Ok, that's enough for today, you've all done well," Naruto said taking off his helmet. The Foot presented themselves before Naruto while Ino and Hun stood at his side, "You're all dismissed until further notice." Naruto ordered.
"Hai!" the Foot ninja reply as they vanish.
"This is great Naruto, with the guys' part of the Foot now, not only will they know their own basic styles of fighting, but they will know the Foot style as well." Ino said.
"Yes and their training has come along nicely since they've joined." Naruto smiled until he looked ahead seeing Sasuke approach him with Sakura who looked nervous.
"Sasuke?" Naruto asked but knew he wasn't there to shoot the breeze.
"Naruto I want you to fight me!" Sasuke demanded.
"What?" Naruto raised an eyebrow while Ino was shocked at her second teammates demand.
"You heard me, fight me." Sasuke replies.
Naruto scowled, "Sorry Sasuke, but I must pass."
"What was that?" Sasuke growled.
"I don't have a reason to fight you." Naruto answered while wiping away some sweat from his forehead.
"Well I got a reason to fight you!" Sasuke called. Ino, Sakura, and Hun were shocked by Sasuke snapping at Naruto like that.
"I see it all now," Naruto smirked, "You fear me. You fear me and my abilities seeing as they make you inferior."
"Shut up!" Sasuke ordered.
Naruto sighed, "Very well then Sasuke if it's what you want then I accept."
"Naruto-kun, you don't have to do this." Ino said trying to talk him out of it.
"She is right master. You don't owe him anything, especially a fight." Hun added.
"I'm afraid I cannot decline now Hun, Ino, otherwise he won't leave me alone. So name the place Sasuke." Naruto said.
"Here and now." He answered.
"Fine by me." Naruto replied as the two went to the center of the training field.
"Sakura what happened?" Ino asked.
"I don't know, I brought Sasuke lunch for us to share, and suddenly he threw it aside angry and stormed here looking for Naruto." Sakura explained.
"This is definitely not going to be a pretty sight." Hun added as he watched his master and Sasuke stand on opposite ends
Naruto put his helmet on and spoke, "I don't understand why you have to fight me this badly, Sasuke. Second to me you're one of the toughest ninja in our age category."
"I am second to nobody!" Sasuke shouted.
"You really think so? Well then please come on and get me." He beckoned him.
Sasuke charged to attack Naruto, who raised his right arm blocking a punch from Sasuke, and ducked avoiding a kick before jumping backwards. Sasuke activated his Sharingan and fought Naruto continuously but when he left himself wide opened for an attack Naruto delivered a roundhouse kick to Sasuke and he rolled across the ground, "Please tell me that's not the best you can offer."
"I'm just warming up!" Sasuke responded while launching fireballs at Naruto who grabbed the Sword of Tengu and released a shockwave deflecting all the fire balls.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he summoned a dozen clones that rushed for Sasuke.
The clones took Sasuke on using their martial arts moves. Sasuke wasn't able to block most of the punches but managed to take out six of the clones.
Ino, Sakura, and Hun watched in worry as their fight started getting more out of control with Sasuke using another fire jutsu at Naruto, who responded by using his sword to deflect them like before, "You're fighting with rage, Sasuke. It's not healthy to fight like that!" Naruto warned him.
"Shut your mouth, I'll fight however I want! And I'll start by pealing you out of that armor!" he charged a Chidori in his palm.
"Sasuke!" the girls shouted.
'So that's your game, Sasuke? Ok then.' Naruto thought as he summoned a clone that started forming a Rasengan in his palm.
"What's he doing?" Sakura asked.
Suddenly the two charged forward with their jutsus aimed at each other, "Stop it!" the girls shouted as they ran from the side and right for them.
"Mistress, Sakura, no!" Hun shouted as he tried to stop them but didn't reach far enough.
The girls were almost in the crossfire of the colliding attacks, until as quick as a flash Zabuza and Asuma caught the girls and pushed them away while Kakashi grabbed the boys by their arms and flung them into different directions away from each other. And both ended up crashing into trees, "Sensei." Sakura gasped seeing her sensei saved her.
"Zabuza." Ino gasped.
Kakashi landed on the ground and looked to the boys as they recovered form their crashes, "What the hell were you two thinking? Were you actually trying to destroy each other" he asked noticing the Rasengan Naruto used.
'Was that jutsu the famed Rasengan?" Zabuza thought.
When Sasuke got up he saw Kakashi looking down at him from the pile of trees that were totaled, "Sasuke, we're you trying to kill him for real?" he disciplined him, "I didn't teach you Chidori so you could use it on your comrades." Sasuke only frowned before using a smoke bomb to escape.
Kakashi sighed seeing him escape. Hun and Ino were helping Naruto back to his feet, while Sakura stood by the Jonin crying, "Asuma-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, I tried to stop them." She cried.
"Well this was an unfortunate spectacle." Kakashi sighed to Asuma who nodded feeling the same.
"Master are you ok?" Hun asked helping Naruto up.
Naruto panted, before removing his helmet, "I'll be fine Hun, arigato."
"Oh Naruto!" Ino cried as she held onto him.
"Kakashi you noticed Naruto's Jutsu?" Zabuza asked.
"Yes the Rasengan, and only you could've taught him that." He said almost speaking out of nowhere confusing the two Jonin, until they turned seeing Jiraiya leaning against a stump.
"As a matter of fact I did." Jiraiya nodded.
"Not saying he shouldn't know his father's Jutsu, but don't you think it's too soon for him to be learning that one? After all he could've killed Sasuke." Kakashi started lecturing, but was cut off by Zabuza.
"That's enough Kakashi, you're not so innocent in this matter yourself."
"Zabuza's right, after all you taught Chidori to Sasuke, and that jutsu's just as lethal." Jiraiya added as he stood before them.
"I thought for sure I could've trusted Sasuke enough with that jutsu not to use it on others, but apparently I was wrong as I have been before. Well I'll be sure to give Sasuke a good talking too."
"See that you do." Asuma said as Kakashi nodded. Both Jonin went to Sakura to calm her down before taking off.
Naruto after collecting himself started walking off before turning to Sakura, "Never come between me and Sasuke when we're fighting again, Sakura. Unless you wanna get yourself killed." He took off. Ino wanted to go after him but Hun put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head at her. Ino watched as Naruto walked off back for the village.
Later as the sun was going down, Naruto walked along the village minding his own business while deep in thought, 'Maybe I did overdo it today against Sasuke, but what choice did I have when he was going to attack me with a Chidori? Maybe I should meditate on the events of today.' He decided to head home.
When he arrived home, he entered where his Foot ninja were waiting until his mother came running for him and pulled him in a bone crushing hug, "Oh my baby!"
"Mom are you ok?" Naruto asked.
"Don't ever scare me like that again!" Kushina cried onto her sons shoulder.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.
"Kakashi told me what happened today between you and Sasuke. Why would you do that?" Kushina scolded her son.
"Sasuke had it coming, I decided to give him a taste of reality and prove to him that he's gone too far." Naruto replied.
Kushina sighed, "I lost you once before Naruto. I wouldn't take it if I lost you again."
"I understand mom," Naruto replied in a sigh. "If you'll excuse me, I'm really tired, and I'd like to go to bed."
"Of course Naruto." Kushina said allowing him to pass by. Naruto headed for his room putting his sword on its stand, and got out of his armor, putting it and the helmet in the cabinet before heading to bed.
When morning came, Naruto was lying in his bed still under the covers. Suddenly the door to Naruto's room slid open and Shikamaru rushed inside, "Hey Naruto we gotta…" he stopped as he sees Naruto under his covers looking half asleep, "Are you wearing pants under there." Shikamaru asked hoping he was.
"Shikamaru this is the worst possible of times, what's going on?" Naruto asked gorggily.
"Naruto, Sasuke left the village last night!" Shikamaru explained as Naruto's eyes woke up completely.
'Dammit Sasuke!' Naruto cursed in his thoughts.
