Masashi Kishimoto created Naruto. I am happy he did. I make no profit from this fic.

He Walked Away...
{Sasuke's POV}
I don't know how I escaped but I think I may have killed Orochimaru, I know I decapitated Kabuto. At the very least that slime ball would never get the chance to touch Naruto again...I was running toward Konoha blindly the last time I came through here my back was warmed by the feather light presence of him. I felt the ghost of him there. What if I didn't in fact do anything? This is so dreamlike, can I really be running back to the village I betrayed. Not that I cared about the village, but the boy I had betrayed. I was still wearing Orochimaru's uniform, well what was left of the tattered bloody fabric. It wasn't like I cared. I could run back with no clothes but I thought my immodesty might not help the situation. I was barely covered as it was.
This was so unreal. I didn't even realize it when I made it to the city gates. I hid my chakra. I was sneaking in, but only so I could see him at least once more and make sure he was OK before I turned myself in. Little did I know I had missed him by a scant few hours...
{Sakura's POV}
I wanted so badly to go. What if he failed. I knew the plan. I knew his chances of coming back were remote. This was an all or nothing mission. Failure or victory rested on his head and his alone. Even if he succeeded he may not survive the aftermath. I sat in his abandoned hospital bed and waited for any news. Then I felt him. I smiled for a split second before I frowned and as I turned to punch his lights out hoping he didn't mange to kill me I saw the desperation in his eyes.
"Where's the Dobe?" He didn't smirk. He looked dare I say worried, "Is he, did he?"
"No he's not dead...yet." I looked at him angrily, "Thought I doubt he will be alive tomorrow. They took him."
"Who? Who took him?" I felt waves of rage he had no right to feel after what he had done.
"What do you care you bastard. You killed him once all ready," I hissed, "They have a plan."
"What? A plan, what are they planning?"
"Apparently the Kyuubi had gotten control or partial control of Naruto's body. They are going to allow Naruto to release the demon and the two are going to fight it out. It will be dangerous and the only reason they told me about it was so I wouldn’t follow them and put the whole mission in danger.
They have the two loyal sannin with them, and Kakashi-sensei. If Naruto looses to the demon they will have to kill him. His chances aren't good either way. Even if he wins his body is so weakened he won't likely survive. His chances of a full recovery are not that good either. His dream of becoming Hokage is all but lost. He won't have much to live for." I saw hurt there. Good! I want to twist the knife I effectively planted in his heart. He hurt us all mostly he hurt the only one who truly cared about him. I know now my love was merely an infatuation.
"Where did they go?"
"Like I'd tell you, even if I knew!" I spit on him in my anger.
"I'll find them no matter," He turned back to the window as he was leaving he spoke, "I am truly sorry for everything."
"Don't apologize to me, and go get cleaned up before you go rushing off. You reek of blood."
"Hn," I heard the sadness in his grunt but also I felt the spark of hope rise in him.
{Normal POV}
The raven headed avenger ran at top speed. He felt Naruto's faint signature in a northwestern direction near a group of mountains. It was far from the village. He sensed that they were still far away, but he also sensed they had finally stopped. He felt five chakra signatures, no it was six. One very faint—Naruto's. One almost undetectable, perhaps a small animal. Two jonin level, one of them Kakashi. Two on par or at least close to Orochimaru. Sasuke felt his own power fighting to come out as the curse mark wanted to take over his mind and body in a battle much like Naruto was facing. He had more power over his problem however he had not been in a coma for the last twelve months and Orochimaru was an excellent teacher despite his final intentions, and up until Sasuke's little slip up he had treated the boy quite well.
He was closing in surely they would notice him. He was very glad he had taken a few minutes to stop at his old home. He showered in ice cold water until it stopped short as the water heater emptied and there was none left to replace it, but he was no longer covered in blood. His old clothes were two small, but he had found some of his brother's old uniforms. Wearing his anaiki's old clothes made him want to wretch but he fought the feeling back. He had to do this for his Naruto. He needed to see Naruto...to be with the boy at least one last time.
