-=A friend=-

Naruto and Ikki caught up with Sasuke at the valley of the end, in a precise cliche situation... whatever, let's just continue...

"Stop right there!" Naruto exclaimed as he pointed his finger towards Sasuke that by the laws of anime... actually stopped...wtf?!

"What do you want?" Sasuke said with a voice filled with arrogance, as if the humiliating defeat he suffered before was a illusion... the dude is nuts...

"Well, i said to Sakura that i would try so~, wanna go back to konoha and why not?"

"I don... how did yo... you know what? screw this! i am tired of you, aways messing with me, aways making fun of me, i am tired of this." Said Sasuke as he gave up.

"Well... there is that... now we need to actually fight you, cause we have a mission, so~ , round 2 fight" As Naruto said that he jumped towards Sasuke

Sasuke jumped backwards and printed hand seals, but before he could complete whatever jutsu he wanted to use, he had to jump to his right to dodge Ikki's kick, as he dumbly forgot that he wasn't fighting only one opponent.

"Tch, almost" Ikki clicked her tongue at her failed sneak attack, but didn't spare more than a thought to it, as she knew how one distraction could cost a fight for a shinobi.

Fortunately for her, or not idk, Sasuke wasn't smart enough to try to attack her when she was distracted, as he saw in Naruto the real danger of loosing... Anyways, he tried to play it safe by using a genjutsu to 'knock Ikki out'...

To no one's surprise, Ikki broke it instantly, as the only illusions she ever failed to escape where Naruto's Kidos. Sasuke, who just dodged a rasengan that Naruto threw while thinking

'What a waste of chakra... hey Kurama, do you wanna change so you can beat a uchiha down?'

[Kit, i hate uchihas, but i have my standards. I won't just go fight this... thing, What if his stupidity is contagious?]

'Damn... you're right, i should keep my distance as well'

After Sasuke dodged the rasengan, A water bullet hus him straight in the face, Ikki had no intention to kill him, or else that would hurt a lot. After he got hit he tried.the jutsu he learned from Sakura: Glare... wait, is that a jutsu or a pokemon move?

But again, he is stupid and made eye contact with Ikki, who this time actually reversed his genjutsu and made him stop moving for a second, enought for Naruto to hit him with a rasengan, obviously powered down or he would die.

"Ack" Sasuke groaned as he was thrown back. Finally noticing that 1 on 1 he isn't enought and 2 on 1 he is not even taken seriously, he decided to ise his trap card.

Antagonism: When the user of this card can't do anything to win, he will gain a power boost, the opposite of the 'protagonism' card.

Sasuke activated his cursed seal, and black marks spread through his body, but instead of making a monologue he had to dodge yet another jutsu, this time a water dragon from Naruto.

'When did he even learn that jutsu?' he asked himself, but failed to comprehend that people can TRAIN...

As he dodged, with his improved reflexes and speed, he completed some hand seals and used .... a fire jutsu? really? on a LAKE? Against not one, but TWO water users? damn... that's a new level of uselessness.

As you would expect Ikki made a water wall, while Naruto counter attacked using a water bullet, which Sasuke dodged

Sasuke decided to FINALLY use a element that has advantage against his opponents, because of common sense? no! because he only knew these 2 jutsus ok?

Sasuke charged a Chidori and ran straight towards Naruto and Ikki who wanted to facepalm at Sasuke's attack, seriously? running in a straight line? does he want to die or what?

Ignoring that, Something that would surprise other ninjas happened, since Sasuke obviously has negative IQ numbers, Ikki decide to test something out, so she started molding some chakra in a rotating sphere on her hand, Yes, the famous rasengan that took Jiraya months to learn and Minato years to create, just like with Naruto, Mastered by someone with less than 20 years of age, in a matter of days... Fantastic

Ikki used her rasengan to counter Sasuke's chidori, and as expected... she won. As the chidori is a jutsu made for insta killing and quick piercing attacks, when it cant pierce it's target, it becomes quite weak, and since the rasengan is a jutsu with a explosive blunt impact... you can guess how it went right?

Ikki was pushed a few feet backwards and Sasuke was launched at the stone wall behind him.

"Well, that was fun and all, but let me deal with him now, i need to manip*cough* talk with him" Naruto said as he walked towarda Sasuke's position

"Ok... but i have to say, that was quite... underwhelming?"

"You expected too much from him..."

[She was wrong to even expect sometging from an uchiha to start with]

'c'mon Kurama, that is not true. If it was another uchiha, he could have put a better fight, is just that sausage(this is not a mistake, i wrote it like that) is... special'

[You didn't convince me...]

'...'

[...]

Sasuke got out of the wall were he was stuck, skin grey, eyes black with yellow irises, and to put the finishing touch, hand-like wings on his back... just...why?

Sasuke charged at Naruto with a black chidori on his hands, but contrary to what you would expect, Naruto didn't enact another rasengan vs chidori as Ikki just did that, so he pointed at Sasuke and said

"Byakurai"

And a lighting bolt hit Sasuke straight in the chest, launching him backwards again, and heavily damaging him, because of tye momentum he had when charging...

Naruto waked close to Sasuke and began to talk

"Well, we fought. So now you can go"

"What?" confused, Sasuke asked, if it was a trap he would be dead but... he would be dead anyways if Naruto wanted so...

"You chose to leave the village, so as your"

'kinda'

"Friend"

'And only one at that'

"i will let you follow your choices, just... think about what you REALLY want after this decision ok? next time we see eachother, i hope you will be strong enough for me to be proud of calling you rival, ok?" Naruto said as he walked away, keaving a stunned and slightly touched Sasuke behind.

"Friend... huh?" he muttered to himself as his transformation ended.

-=-

After Naruto and Ikki walked a distance from were they fought Sasuke...

"Bleergh~"

Naruto was occupied vomiting out of cringeness while Ikki was contemplating what she could have done better on this fight.

After a while, Naruto got back to normal, asides from the bad taste that saying that he is Sasuke's friend, left on his mouth, he wasn't too affected

"At least i planted a hiraishin mark on him without him knowing... at least"

"What are we going to do now?" Ikki asked

"well, lets go back see if everyone finished their fights, then rest for some days and go on our journey with that old man... there isn't much we can do in konoha anyways"

"Ok..." Ikki answered while trying but failing to find anything fun you can do at Konoha...
