[Kakashi's POV]
While enjoying my first day off in two months, I could tell something was off. Not only because Asuma was currently walking towards me or the fact that Sasuke returned. It was only because Naruto had taken it too far.
"Kakashi, long time no see." Asuma said, sitting down next to me on the bench that I was sitting on.
"What's this about Asuma?" I asked, closing my eyes.
"Lady Hokage called for you. She needs you for an A ranked mission that only YOU can achieve."
"And what mission could that be?"
Asuma sighed, "Take Naruto Uzumaki to Sasuke Uchiha's chambers…" There was a long pause, "And allow Sasuke to talk with him… alone."
I opened my eyes, sat up on the bench, and looked at him. I looked up towards the sky and then back down at the ground, "When?"
Asuma looked at me with a surprised expression. "This afternoon. When the sun goes down and everyone is asleep, that's when you will be expected to be at Naruto Uzumaki's location to escort him to Sasuke's chambers."
"Alright, I'll do it…"
[Naruto's POV]
I was sitting at the edge of a river bank. The same river that Sasuke and I fought at. I could still remember the battle like it was yesterday. As difficult as it was for me, I couldn't stop thinking about him.
As I closed my eyes, I heard footsteps approaching me. I jumped up, pulling one of my kunai knives out of my pouch, and landed on the water.
"Whoa there Naruto, it's just me."
It was Kakashi-Senseì. He appeared from behind the trees and was walking closer to me, "It's time for us to go."

And then, when we arrived at Grandma Tsunada's she had told me that I was granted permission to talk to Sasuke, "But only on one condition Naruto." She said, "You and Sasuke cannot get closer than two feet from each other."
Two feet? Why was I not allowed to be closer to him? Could it be that Sasuke has joined the Akatsuki?
"But, Grandma Tsun-"
"No Naruto!" She yelled, cutting me off mid sentence, just like Kakashi had done before. "If you fail to do so, Sasuke Uchiha will be banned from ever entering the Leaf Village again."
That was the trigger. That was the thing that made me feel more upset than I already was. But it also gave me closure. It made me think that Tsunada was actually looking out for me, more than I thought she was.
But everything came to an end when I arrived at his cell. He was laying on a bed in front of a blank wall. There was nothing right about it. A toilet, sink, and a cold bed with no pillow or blanket. It looked lonely. And I felt terrible that Sasuke had to go through that.
"Well, well. So the old lady actually listens. What's up… Naruto?"
I hope that this chapter wasn't that bad. I'll be adding more onto the story soon.
Also, I'm sorry for the cliffhanger that I keep leaving you guys on. And you guys can always comment what you think, it helps me out a lot :))))
