Team seven was currently resting from their latest mission in a small clearing not far from Konoha. Kakashi was making sure that the enemy-nin was not following them and is currently out of sight. The pink blob- uh Shinobi is looking through her bag for a soldier pill. In fact the only one who seemed normal and unaffected is a certain raven haired young man.

Sasuke was breathing heavily and checking his wounds. ‘Damn. There’s no way a simple c-rank mission would normally get us this hurt. It’s all his fault. He keeps doing everything he can to put us in danger. Why though?’

No not that raven, the other one. The one that’s sketching on his art pad, and looks quite pleased with himself.

It has been a week since Sai had joined team seven and since then Sasuke had come to realize many things about his new team mate.

For one thing it seems that Sai really didn’t know anything about emotions, or common sense for that matter. He went as far as to call Sakura and Ino a couple of old ugly hens enjoying an afternoon yak after their sex change, which according to him did nothing to make them more feminine. Needless to say the two girls made sure that Sai didn’t go to training the next day…

After the incident on the day they met he’s acted friendly enough, like that conversation didn’t even happen, and when Sasuke asked him about Naruto Sai just smiled and asked ‘Who?’

But all the missions they got have been harder than they should, due to the fact that Sai ‘accidentally’ showed their enemy their position, or dropped the scroll, or forgot the scroll. But Sasuke had enough. He was going to get answers from Sai now that Kakashi was gone one way or another. He would find out what he knew about Naruto.

‘I don’t really care about Naruto…I just hate when people know something I don’t…yeah that’s it. I don’t miss that dobe at all…that dobe…’

Sai was painting another portrait from his memory, a small smile playing across his lips. It was a bittersweet smile.

‘I swear ill make them suffer as much as possible for your sake. You helped me so much…and I couldn’t do anything…all I could do was watch you die…’

Suddenly he was pined on the tree he was leaning on. “Sasuke! What are you doing?!” Sakura screeched from behind them. Sasuke ignored her. “I don’t know what game you’re playing but I’m sick of it. What do you and Kakashi know that we don’t?” He said in a monotone voice.

“Why Sasuke-kun I don’t have any clue as to what you’re talking about. Is this about what happened back in the forest? I do believe I already apologized for stabbing you in the arm. I really didn’t notice where I was aiming that kunai. I should defiantly practice my aiming more.” Sai said with a smile.

“God damn it! Answer me already! What are you two hiding?!”
Sasuke growled. “Sasuke-kun! Stop it! Kakashi-sensei could be coming!”

“No, Sakura. Sai is hiding something and so is Kakashi. Although you seem to have forgotten what he told us the day we met I haven’t. So Sai, care to tell us why you hate us enough to put our missions in jeopardy?”

“I have no obligation to tell you anything. Besides I don’t have any clue what you’re talking about. Why would I put my own team in danger? You’re being ridiculous Sasuke-kun.”

“I don’t know why you’re doing it or what you’re hiding but I will find out.” Sasuke growled.

“Well I wish you luck in your imaginary quest, now Sasuke-kun, let go of me…” suddenly one of Sai’s ink monsters was pulling Sasuke back. On reflex Sasuke turned and punched but he was hitting thin air.

“Now, now kids don’t go fighting just because I’m not around. That’s not very friendly, what if someone attacked while you were fighting?” their sensei said while jumping down and smiling.

“Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke-kun was just a little bit angry about the kunai incident. But were the best of friends now, right Sasuke-kun?”

“Hn.” ‘damn’

“Well let’s get going were only a few miles from Konoha.” Kakashi started to walk towards the village. Sai picked up his sketch book and all of the loose pages that fell out earlier. He made his way behind Kakashi and Sakura.

Sasuke started going after them but something by the tree caught his eye. ‘Hmmm what’s that? Oh its one of that morons drawings.’

On the paper was a picture of a young boy around his age. The boy was in a lake and was smiling brightly. What got Sasuke attention was that the boy had spiky hair and whisker like marks on each cheek.

‘Naruto… so Sai does know him…just you wait Sai I will find out what you’re hiding’

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sai sat on top of the Hokage Mountain sketching again the person that had been plaguing his dreams. ‘Why did things have to go so wrong?’ He briefly looked down at the village with deep loathing in his eyes. He looked away from the disgusting village and continued drawing.

“Danzo, what are you doing here?” He questioned suddenly while still drawing.

“Perceptive as ever I see.” A man stepped out of the shadows and walked slowly up to Sai. “So are you ready to come back Sai?”

“What gave you that idea? I meant what I said before. I’m never going to be manipulated by you again.” Sai said still drawing. “Still with those stupid ideas of yours... I thought now that your demon of a friend was dead you would get your intelligence ba-“

He dodged the kunai that Sai sent at him. Suddenly Sai was standing, his art work forgotten on the floor, rage evident on his face.

“Don’t you dare! Don’t you dare speak about him that way!” he growled.

Danzo looked at Sai in his eyes. “Come back to Root Sai. Don’t you want revenge on the village that took you friend away? Don’t you want to avenge the death of the only person that made you feel emotions? I can help you destroy the village Sai; I can help you take your pain on those who caused it, just take my hand…”

Sai looked at the hand in front of him with distaste. “I will never go back to root. I may hate this village but destroying it would be the easy way out. I will avenge his death, in my own way. I do not need your help Danzo and I will never go back to Root, remember that.”

With that stated he picked up his forgotten objects and jumped down the mountain using his chakra. Danzo frowned “Stupid demon brat ruined my weapon. But in the end he got what he deserved.” With that Danzo shunshined away.

Both men failed to realize that someone had witnessed their meeting. Someone who had been following Sai all day. Sasuke Uchiha was currently a very confused man.

____________________time skip six months________________________________


‘Six months. It has been six months since my only friend died…no, since he was murdered…’

Sai was sitting at a pub with most of the rookie nine and Gai’s team. They had insisted on celebrating the end of the war.

That’s right war. Sound had attacked a month and a half ago. It was a destructive battle that had a lot of bloodshed but in the end Orochimaru was defeated by the Sandaime at the cost of his own life. That was two weeks ago. They where also celebrating the arrival of the new hokage, Lady Tsunade, who is one of the three legendary sannin. She had arrived yesterday with the other Sannin, Jiraiya.

“But Ten-Ten they said they never even heard of Naruto!”

Sai looked up at that sentence. ‘The one who spoke was Hyuga-san, but what is he talking about.’ Sai started eves dropping in their conversation.

“Neji, that’s still no reason to state that there’s a conspiracy surrounding Naruto’s disappearance. You heard what Guy-sensei said. He finally has a family you should be happy for him.”

“Well I’m not convinced! How come no one knew about him in Amegakure? We all know Naruto. With his personality everyone would have known him by then!” Neji said passionately.

“Neji-kun, why do you even care? Naruto is better off gone. He was such a baka!”

Almost everybody glared at the pink Kunoichi. ‘damn its times like these that I wish I had succeeded in murdering her…maybe I could kill her now? No…there’s too many witnesses. That would result in anbu swarming the place, my death and broomsticks; it’s a whole ordeal…’

“He he. Well you see it’s because our little Neji-kun has a little crush on your ex blond team mate.” Ten-ten who was oblivious to Neji’s glares said smiling.

“Wha- you too Neji?” Chouji said suddenly. Everyone stared at him.

“Don’t tell me you liked that blond idiot too Chouji.” Ino whispered. “No I don’t.” Ino sighed in relief. “Shikamaru does though.” He said while munching on some chips.

“WHAT?!?” both Sakura and Ino screamed.

“Shikamaru tell me he’s lying!” Ino pleaded. She had fallen for Shikamaru ever since he saved her life when sound had attacked, but even though she liked him, she pretend that she still liked Sasuke because she thought Sakura would make fun of her . ‘Shikamaru just can’t like Naruto he just can’t!’

“It’s too troublesome to lie…” was all that Shikamaru muttered while slightly blushing.

Sai would normally listen to anything to do with the blond, but it wasn’t normal any more. He was gone. He wasn’t coming back. He had to face the harsh reality, the reality that did not include his blond best friend.

Sai couldn’t stand the happy chatter about his friend anymore. He got up and silently made his way out of the pub.


Sasuke was following Sai he had seen Sai come out of the pub. He had already decided that he didn’t care what Sai knew about Naruto any more. He stayed awake far too many nights wondering about it, and it had started to affect his daily life. So like any good Uchiha would do with a distraction, he ignored it.

But now was different. The reason that it was different was because he sensed an unfamiliar chakra sticking close by to Sai. Sai himself looked like he was sad. And Sai wasn’t known for showing emotions. So he decided to follow. Maybe now he would find something out that would stick all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together.


Sai felt like going to the lake in the forest. That was after all the place he had met the blond. As Sai walked through a deserted ally way he felt someone tailing him.

‘I don’t recognize the chakra signature…’

“Lord Sai, halt.”

In front of him a girl appeared. She was wearing a long puffy black and fuchsia dress that showed a lot of cleavage. Her hair was a deep magenta color held up in a bun. He couldn’t see her face seeing as it was being coved by a black butterfly mask. Her eyes where falu red in color. All in all she looked beautiful.

Sai would’ve attacked but you have to understand that he was in shock. Not only was there a beauty standing in front of him but she had called him Lord Sai!

“I come forth to deliver this message from my prince.” She said holding out a scroll.

Sai didn’t respond so she repeated herself.

‘She called me lord!’

Eventually she smacked him over the head with the very scroll she was supposed to give him.

“I SAID TO TAKE THE FUCKING SCROLL AND SNAP OUT OF IT YOU STUPID IDIODIC MORON!”

“What happened to lord Sai? I like that better than idiotic moron.” he mumbled as he got up.

“Just take the stupid scroll. I don’t see why my love would even bother with you. I don’t even know why I came! Ahhh but I can’t resist my adorable prince. He is just way too delectable to refuse. Our love will conquer all those who oppose us. Muahahahaha!” she stated ignoring Sai and going into her fantasies.

“You’re very scary…” Sai whispered. He picked up the scroll that she had thrown at his head. He opened it and read it slowly.

“So lord Sai…lord Sai?” she had come out of her fantasies to ask a question when she noticed how angry Sai looked.

“How dare you… how dare you lie like this? Have you no respect?” He said everything calmly but his voice was thick with anger. The scroll lay forgotten on the floor. He was barely holding himself back from attacking this woman.

She sighed. “He said you would get like this. What’s on that scroll is true. Look.” She went up to him and showed him her wrists. On both of her wrist there was some kind of seals.

Sai’s anger disappeared as he saw the seals.

“You- you’re-“

“I was there that day. I’m surprised you don’t remember me. I remember you. You where the one that was crying out for them to stop. Like I said, everything in the scroll is true. We where saved by my prince.” Her face softened. “Your friend is still alive.”


Sasuke saw as the mysterious girl showed Sai her hands. After that Sai fell on his knees and… broke down crying?

Sai and the girl kept talking for a moment then the girl disappeared. Sai was making his way toward Sasuke. He was still crying but at the same time smiling. But not one of his fake smiles, it seemed genuine to Sasuke. Sai had forgotten the scroll he had gotten from the girl on the floor where he had thrown it. Sasuke picked it up, and continued to follow his weeping team mate.

Sai went back to the pub where everyone was still at. “A round of drinks for everyone, it’s on me!” he screamed. Random people cheered.

“Sai? What’s wrong?” Sakura asked worried. Sai had never before shown so much emotion on his face.

“Nothings wrong Sakura! Everything’s dandy! The air is clean, the day is beautiful, and speaking of beautiful, have I told you how stunning you look today? And Ino, you are simply breathtaking!”

He took a drink from the table and drank it all in one gulp.

“Sai are you drunk?” Ino asked slowly.

“No I’m not drunk! Why is everyone staring at me funny?” He looked around at everyone and started laughing at their shocked faces.


Outside a certain Uchiha was very curious as to what affected his emotionless team mate so much.

‘The answer must be in this scroll. Well only one way to find out.’ Sasuke opened the scroll. He gasped when he saw its contents.

The scroll was blank.

LT: well there you go. Now I’m going to go play video games.
Don’t you wish you knew what was on that scroll?
This was pretty much a filler chapter. You finally get to find out what exactly happened to Naru-chan on the next chapter.


I don’t know why but Sai strikes me as a polite person so I had him say Hyuga-san instead of Neji…

Oh and like always: Reviews are appreciated as well as helpful criticism. Flames are useless but welcome. It just means more entertainment for me, for I will make fun of you and poke fun at your comment and your logic. (^_^)
