chapter 9
Thank you so much for the reviews!
Here’s another set of chapters to keep you guys entertained until I finish up on the latest one.
I started internship a week ago and it’s SERIOUSLY cutting into my social/artistic (or lack there of >3) life.
I go to my ‘place of work’ about 3 days a week, from about 9 to 5 X_x
(As for a side story, I had a woman on the phone today with a last name that made me giggle 0-0 Butt….yes seriously it wasn’t a joke…I’ve heard of bad cases of terrible last names before but butt?)
That’s not even with the travel time included >.>
Then I have school to go to and yep you guessed it…homework…it’s Satan spawn I tell you! >.<
To TwlightDreams:
Yes actually, I do of remember, you have a ‘username’ that’s very similar to a friends XD
And this version isn’t that different, minus fixing some errors. (or at least not yet >3)
And you saved my story? *squeals and feels all honoured* X3
I used to do the same thing to stories I read…till my poor computer died -_-
But, my new computer has about 150 gigs compared to the 4 gigs the old one had >.>
Enough chatting X3

Chapter 9 Of Fireworks and Discoveries
Naruto POV
The two boys had settled down on a rooftop, they were the only ones while the villagers were all struggling for a place near the stage where the fireworks were going to be lit.
It turned out to be quite handy to have someone with you who knew the village by head.
Apparently Sasuke had been quite the prankster when he was little as well.
What had happened to make him stop?
Naruto hadn’t even given up on pranks even after he graduated, the recent ‘redecorations’ to Tsunade’s office had been proof of that.
Which explained why he had been sent away on a long term mission…
That way she had plenty of time to get rid of the urge to strangle Naruto on sight.
BANG!
The fireworks were starting!
Gorgeous colours graced the clear dark sky, several shades of red, blue, green and yellow lit up the faces of the two young warriors and that of the villagers.
Young couples were holding hands under the trees, romantically cuddling up against each other, whispering loving words in one another’s ears.
Naruto was going to throw up…
It was just too lovey-dovey…
Sasuke seemed to share the opinion with that disgusted look on his face.
Conversations that consisted of ‘I love you, I love you more’ was just overdoing it.
They looked at each other and Naruto broke out laughing, whereas Sasuke simply raised an eyebrow.
“It’s not funny. It’s just disgusting.”
“You’re right. It’s not funny, it’s hilarious! They look ridiculous! Can you believe that guy?”
“……Hn.”
“If I ever act like that, put me out of my misery and kill me.”
“Will do.”
“You didn’t have to sound so cheerful about that…”
“Hn.”
“Don’t start that with me again!”
“Whatever…dobe.”
“Just you wait till the rematch you bastard! We’ll see who’s dead-last then!”
“Hn.”
“………Jerk.”
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
??? POV
“I love you.”
“I love you more.”
“No no, I love you more!”
“JACKASS!”
“Usuratonkachi!”
The sudden screams caused the young ‘lovey-dovey’ couple to snap out of their romantic daze. The pair of eyes looked towards a rooftop where two young men were arguing.
The girl smiled at her lover and giggled knowingly.
“They must be having a lovers spat.”
The young man nodded and turned to his girlfriend.
“Love, if I ever turn out like that, put me out of my misery and kill me.”
The young woman giggled again.
“Sure love, whatever you say.”
“You didn’t have to be so cheerful about it.”
The man faked a pout and hurt look, his girlfriend smiled and kissed him.
“You know I didn’t mean it like that sweetie. I love you.”
“And I love you too.”
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Naruto POV
Several minutes of arguing later, the two finally settled down and laid down on the rooftop.
Mainly because ‘Naruto wasn’t talking to Sasuke’ again, it probably wouldn’t last long.
A sudden sense of danger alerted Naruto, there was something there…
He sat up and looked around.
He couldn’t exactly pin point where it was coming from…
“What’s wrong moron?”
Naruto didn’t respond, he needed to know what it was. Something just wasn’t right.
It seemed so familiar, yet different…
There!
Naruto pushed Sasuke down and looked at the rooftop three houses away.
No wonder it felt so familiar!
It was chakra!
There was a shinobi there!
The man was dressed in all black, even his face, was painted black.
Clearly he was spying as well.
He felt Sasuke make a move to dislodge Naruto’s arm from his back but stiffened moments later as he saw what had caused Naruto to act so serious all of a sudden.
“That’s one of them!”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, we need to warn the elder!”
The strange shinobi was wearing an unknown hitai-ate.
The symbol was one he had never seen before…
Was the man alone or where there more of them?
Were they planning an attack or was it just a scouting mission?
Were they the ones that were giving shinobi like himself a bad reputation?
Naruto needed answers…
He just hoped Sasuke trusted him enough not to rat on him.
Naruto pulled Sasuke down as he noticed the man look in their direction.
He wouldn’t be able to see them from this angle, or at least he hoped not…
“Sasuke, stay here.”
“What are you doing!?”
“Just trust me! Stay put!”
The blond pulled out a kunai he had kept with him.
He knew he was risking everything, but that man should be able to tell him what was going on.
Naruto silently made his way down the roof, genjutsu would do the rest…
He wasn’t good at it, but he wouldn’t have to put it up for long, just long enough to get to that ninja…
He made it to the house where the man was perched.
Naruto dropped the genjutsu, he wouldn’t need it now.
Blue eyes sparkled with excitement. He lived for this kind of stuff!
Naruto made it to the roof top and pressed his kunai against the mans throat in the blink of an eye.
The unknown shinobi reached for Naruto’s arm, but a little added pressure and a small wound to the throat shut him up nicely. The two climbed down the roof and Naruto pushed him against the side of the house.
Nobody would see them here.
Except for Sasuke, who was rushing in their direction.
“Who are you and what village are you from!?”
The man simply glared at him and kept silent, Naruto let his anger get the best of him and removed the kunai, replacing it with his hand.
The kunai moved down to the mans crotch…
“Either you start talking or you’ll lose the part that makes you a man!”
That certainly loosened some lips…cruel yet effective.
“I’ll tell you everything! Just don’t cut them off!”
Luckily the man was a coward…
“Then talk!”
“I’m from hidden sound!”
“Hidden sound? I’ve never heard of them before!”
“I-it was recently created!”
“By who?!”
“I don’t know!”
Naruto added some pressure, so the man got his ‘point’.
“I really don’t know! He never shows his face! We only get orders!”
Sasuke looked at the scene with a shocked look on his face, Naruto looked at him, then back at the sound nin.
“What were you doing here?!”
“I can’t tell you! He’ll kill me!”
The blond haired shinobi glared at him.
“I’ll do a lot worse then just kill you if you don’t start talking!”
“I-I was sent to scout ahead for the upcoming mission!”
“So you guys really are behind it…Do you have anything to do with the attacks on the shinobi villages?!”
“I-I’m not sure! I’m only a genin!”
Naruto raised an eyebrow. Only a genin? No wonder he was caught so easily…
A hand grabbed onto his shoulder rather painfully, he made sure the sound nin couldn’t get away before turning.
“Naruto, what the hell is going on!”
“This is one of the guys that’s responsible for what’s happening!”
He pointed at the cowering genin.
Sasuke glared at the two of them, Naruto could only hope he was willing to wait for answers…
“What is the mission.”
“T-the orders a-are to destroy this village…Why are you doing this anyways!
You’re a shinobi as well aren’t you?! Why are you making friends with those samurai!”
“Shut up! Unless you want to get us both killed!”
He turned to Sasuke, this was going to be suicide….but he needed to do this.
“Get that Jiraiya guy.”
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Sasuke POV
What the HELL was going on!
One minute Naruto was arguing with him, the next he’s forcing answers from a shinobi?!
He should have known.
The blond was to strange to be an ordinary rurouni, the way he threw those knives, the way he defended them.
He shouldn’t have let him get close, he was betrayed again!
Naruto had been lying the whole time!
If Naruto was even his name…
All this time he had pretended to be someone he was not.
He had been toying with him!
“Sasuke. Please…I promise I’ll explain later, just go!”
“You had better…”
He turned around walked to where he knew he could find the old pervert.
Should he tell Jiraiya Naruto was a shinobi?
The blond would be killed on the spot…
Not that he cared. The idiot had been lying to him the whole time…
Who was he kidding, he had been the idiot…
He barely knew him, yet he let him get close enough to actually hurt him.
This was exactly why he didn’t care about useless things like love and affection.
His brother would probably be laughing at how pathetic he was…
But since he wasn’t here, his father would gladly do the honours.
He had been falling in love, it happened to fast to put a halt to it. He should be happy it was going to end here…
The brunet walked to the clearing where the people had been partying, blissfully unaware of the recent turn of events.
And there was Jiraiya, surrounded by several of the most beautiful girls in the entire village.
Normally he would have rolled his eyes and turned away in disgust, but this was not the time.
“Elder. May I have a word with you?”
“Ah. Sasuke, what’s with the look? And where’s the pretty blond? Naruto was it?”
Sasuke flinched at the name.
“An enemy shinobi has entered the village, Naruto is keeping him…occupied.”
Jiraiya immediately looked serious and stood up.
“Where?”
It was not a question, it was an order...
The elder and several of his men followed him back to where Naruto had pinned down the black clad man.
Only to find that the man had been miraculously tied up with a clothes line and a smirking Naruto was sitting on the whimpering bundle.
“What took you so long?”
Sasuke refused to look the blond in the eyes.
He was going to die anyways…
“Put them both in holding cells until further notice. I’ll decide their fate tomorrow. Search for other shinobi’s.”
The brunet watched on, his face void from any emotion, inside however, was a whole nother story…He needed to talk to Naruto…before it was too late.
He walked towards his home, he remembered Naruto bringing a bag with him. Perhaps he would find some of the answers he was looking for in there…
Where had he last seen the bag?
The first place he had to check was his room.
………
Which is where he found it, sitting in a corner.
A brown inconspicuous looking bag, he had forgotten all about it..
Sasuke opened the bag and spread out Naruto’s belongings.
He kind of felt like he was sticking his nose where it didn’t belong, but if Jiraiya would have his stuff looked through anyways.
Inside was a pair of orange clothes only a blind person would wear, a strange piece of cloth with a metal plate on it, weapons that were typically used by shinobi.
A set of scrolls which didn’t make any sense to Sasuke, some money and a picture…
Two men and a younger looking Naruto dressed in his bright orange outfit which looked surprisingly good on him.
He had to suppress a smile at the sight.
A silver haired man had his arm wrapped around a brown haired man with a scar on his face.
The hand had travelled a tad bit lower then people normally would let it go and the brow haired man looked rather embarrassed about it.
Naruto was standing next to the brown haired man, a huge grin on his face.
He kind of reminded Sasuke of a fox when he looked like that…
They actually looked like a happy little family, a twisted one, but happy nonetheless.
He looked at the scrolls, they were either in code or Naruto’s handwriting was just plain bad.
He didn’t understand what they were about at all.
The raven haired Uchiha grabbed the cloth with the plate, he had seen the other shinobi wear something similar, only with a different symbol on it.
Come to think of it….he had never seen this symbol before.
He decided he would ask Naruto about it…
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Naruto POV
The holding cells were dank and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in years.
It wasn’t exactly a pleasant place to be, but then again…that was what it was meant for.
As soon as the guard left him alone, after taking the sound genin for questioning, Naruto grabbed a piece of paper from his – or rather Sasuke’s – kimono. He needed to write out his report before he was killed or something. At least the mission wouldn’t be a complete failure, he would try to escape afterwards.
After he finished, leaving out the getting caught part, he used the proper hand seals and created a bunshin.
The bunshin in turn used a henge to turn itself into a bird, the transformed bunshin would take it to Tsunade, like he had originally planned.
The blond watched the yellow feathered, blue eyed bird fly off towards his home.
He could only hope it would arrive safely…
He heard to door to the holding cells creaking.
Someone was coming in, most likely Jiraiya or one of his men with questions again.
Heh…like he was going to say anything.
Genins from Konoha were a lot tougher then those weird sound nins!
Naruto walked to the bars, determined to give out a stubborn glare to whoever walked in…
Only to discover it was Sasuke…damn.
He watched the samurai pull out a chair from under the guards desk and put it in front of the cell, he sat down calmly and shot Naruto a glare that seemed to scream ‘start talking’.
Naruto shivered a little.
‘Those Uchiha’s should patent that look…’
Blue eyes stayed focussed on a suddenly rather interested speck of dust on the floor…It didn’t work…
He could practically feel Sasuke’s glare burn a hole through his head.
“I guess I have some explaining to do…”
No answer, not even that annoying ‘hn’, he would give anything for a ‘hn’ right about now.
Sarcastic wasn’t it…
How he wouldn’t talk to any of the guards, not even if they ripped out his tongue, but he couldn’t lie to Sasuke.
This is the perfect example of why shinobi were to be emotionless during missions…
Naruto sighed, how in the world did he manage to get involved in all of this, he seemed to have a knack for getting into awkward situations around Sasuke.
“I was sent here to investigate who was attacking our villages and our people. You could call it scouting for information…”
Still nothing…
“I didn’t mean to hurt you…”
He shyly looked up to the dark eyes, he had expected a heated glare, or a look of disgust, not a hurt look. Sasuke didn’t seem like the type to get emotional…
(AN; You tell me Naru-chan, this is getting SOOOOOO sappy >>)
“Hn. Like I care.”
“I’m starting to think that ‘Hn’ thing is your favourite word teme. Shouldn’t you rush of and give the old pervert the data I wouldn’t give him or his guards?”
“Why did you tell me then?”
Good question…
Why did he tell him?
“I don’t know…”
“You don’t even know?”
“Shut up! That’s what I said wasn’t it?!”
Naruto didn’t know how to explain it, he could probably blame it on the way he grew up.
Having felt nothing but hatred while growing up it was only natural to cling to the first person who actually seemed to care one way or another.
The blond would gladly give up his life for one of his fathers, he would be happy to die for someone he cared for…but still, he hadn’t known the Uchiha for very long.
‘Damn hormones…’
“Why are you even here? Did the old man send you?”
“No.”
“……”
“……”
“You don’t know either do you…”
“Whatever……I have to go…dobe.”
“Stop calling me that! It’s annoying.”
“Then it fits you, you’re annoying as well.”
“WHAT?! Sasuke-teme! Get back here!”
The reply fell on deaf ears however, as the brunet had just closed the door and proceeded in walking away from the holding cells.
“Coward!”
Naruto huffed and lay down on the thing that was to function as a bed, his back was going to be sore in the morning…
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Sasuke POV
A loud screech from his mother shocked the brunet out of his thoughts.
Was father ‘punishing’ her for something again? No, that couldn’t be it.
Normally the shouts were followed by tears, it was strangely quiet except for his mothers
joyful cries.
‘What is it NOW?!’
Hadn’t his life been screwed up enough in such a short time?
Sasuke walked down the hallway expecting to see his father rave and rant and his mother cower at his legs, yet he stumbled upon something quite differently.
“Hello little brother.”
“I-Itachi?”
His brother had come home…with what seemed to be a young blond woman on his arm…

“They must be having a lovers spat.”

After he finished, leaving out the getting caught part, he used the proper hand seals and created a bunshin.
The bunshin in turn used a henge to turn itself into a bird, the transformed bunshin would take it to Tsunade, like he had originally planned.
The blond watched the yellow feathered, blue eyed bird fly off towards his home.
He could only hope it would arrive safely…
He heard to door to the holding cells creaking.
Someone was coming in, most likely Jiraiya or one of his men with questions again.
Heh…like he was going to say anything.
Genins from Konoha were a lot tougher then those weird sound nins!
Naruto walked to the bars, determined to give out a stubborn glare to whoever walked in…
Only to discover it was Sasuke…damn.
He watched the samurai pull out a chair from under the guards desk and put it in front of the cell, he sat down calmly and shot Naruto a glare that seemed to scream ‘start talking’.
Naruto shivered a little.
‘Those Uchiha’s should patent that look…’
Blue eyes stayed focussed on a suddenly rather interested speck of dust on the floor…It didn’t work…
He could practically feel Sasuke’s glare burn a hole through his head.
“I guess I have some explaining to do…”
No answer, not even that annoying ‘hn’, he would give anything for a ‘hn’ right about now.
Sarcastic wasn’t it…
How he wouldn’t talk to any of the guards, not even if they ripped out his tongue, but he couldn’t lie to Sasuke.
This is the perfect example of why shinobi were to be emotionless during missions…
Naruto sighed, how in the world did he manage to get involved in all of this, he seemed to have a knack for getting into awkward situations around Sasuke.
“I was sent here to investigate who was attacking our villages and our people. You could call it scouting for information…”
Still nothing…
“I didn’t mean to hurt you…”
He shyly looked up to the dark eyes, he had expected a heated glare, or a look of disgust, not a hurt look. Sasuke didn’t seem like the type to get emotional…
(AN; You tell me Naru-chan, this is getting SOOOOOO sappy >>)
“Hn. Like I care.”
“I’m starting to think that ‘Hn’ thing is your favourite word teme. Shouldn’t you rush of and give the old pervert the data I wouldn’t give him or his guards?”
“Why did you tell me then?”
Good question…
Why did he tell him?
“I don’t know…”
“You don’t even know?”
“Shut up! That’s what I said wasn’t it?!”
Naruto didn’t know how to explain it, he could probably blame it on the way he grew up.
Having felt nothing but hatred while growing up it was only natural to cling to the first person who actually seemed to care one way or another.
The blond would gladly give up his life for one of his fathers, he would be happy to die for someone he cared for…but still, he hadn’t known the Uchiha for very long.
‘Damn hormones…’
“Why are you even here? Did the old man send you?”
“No.”
“……”
“……”
“You don’t know either do you…”
“Whatever……I have to go…dobe.”
“Stop calling me that! It’s annoying.”
“Then it fits you, you’re annoying as well.”
“WHAT?! Sasuke-teme! Get back here!”
The reply fell on deaf ears however, as the brunet had just closed the door and proceeded in walking away from the holding cells.
“Coward!”
Naruto huffed and lay down on the thing that was to function as a bed, his back was going to be sore in the morning…

Sasuke POV
A loud screech from his mother shocked the brunet out of his thoughts.
Was father ‘punishing’ her for something again? No, that couldn’t be it.
Normally the shouts were followed by tears, it was strangely quiet except for his mothers
joyful cries.
‘What is it NOW?!’
Hadn’t his life been screwed up enough in such a short time?
Sasuke walked down the hallway expecting to see his father rave and rant and his mother cower at his legs, yet he stumbled upon something quite differently.
“Hello little brother.”
“I-Itachi?”
His brother had come home…with what seemed to be a young blond woman on his arm…
