-=Naruto vs Sasu-, Oh, it's over=-

Naruto went to find his team to tell the 'good news' to them, but midway through his search, a wild Sasuke appeared.

"Naruto"

"What is it?"

"Fight me!" Sasuke said with a determined expression

"Uh? how about no? i have better things to do than play around with you Sasuke" But Naruto wasn't interested

"But i have to grow stronger, I fought with Itachi, and noticed that I am much weaker than him. And as much as i hate to admit, you are stronger than me, so if I fight you, i can improve!"

"I see your point..."

"Then-"

"But my answer is still no"

"What?! why?"

"I have no time to spend on your family fight, that doesn't concern me"

"you only say that because you don't know how it feels to loose your family!"

(If you guys think i am exaggerating on Sasuke's behavior, remember that the cursed mark makes him more susceptible to emotions, especially hate, so his more sentimental at times and mostly angry behaviour is explained)

"Don't talk about things you don't know kid! I know way better than you how it feels to loose my family" (he is talking about his past life)

"As if! you never had anyone, hiw do you even think you can understand!"

"SASUKE! Get your shit togheter you dumbass, i have NOTHING to do with you taking a beating from your brother, and I definitely will NOT help you. I am NOT your babysitter!"

Kakashi was walking around konoha, without any place in mind to go, but a sudden chakra spike, no two chakra spikes, caught his attention

"What is this? if a fight between these two people break out in the middle of the village, it would be bad"

Kakashi then dashed in the direction of the chakra spikes, he didn't recognize them, he didn't have time to. As he had to prevent this possible fight to break out, if he spent a little nore time and tried to notice who this chakra spikes originated from... he may or may not have to directly call the hokage.

Back with Naruto and Sasuke

"... you keep saying that, but when they were alive, you never even showed affection towards them, what kind of argument you can say about me, knowing that your entire sadness is only guilt for never caring for them?" Screaming, Naruto asked

"SHUT UP! WHAT CAN YOU SAY? YOUR PARENTS NEVER LOVED YOU, OR YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS FOX ON YOUR BELLY!" A already out of his mind Sasuke screamed back

"..." Naruto suddenly went silent, and Sasuke didn't notice the dangerous amount of killing intent he was emanating.

"Can't say anything now can you? because you know it is tr-"

"Take it back" was all that Naruto said

At this moment Kakashi found them, and noticed the strange behavior of Sasuke and the unnerving atmosphere aroud Naruto.

"DON'T ORDER ME YOU-"

*BANG*

And instantly Naruto was in front if Sasuke who widened his eyes at the speed Naruto showed. Naruto's fist was intercepted by Kakashi's earth barrier, that shattered instantly but gave Kakashi enough time to move Sasuke out of the attacks way.

"You two, STOP! what is happening here? Naruto, i expected more from you, why are you acting like a kid?"

"Hn!" (What is it to you?)

"We were fighting, are you perhaps blind?

And i am acting like a kid, BECAUSE I AM ONE, I AM ONLY 13 YOU IDIOT!"

Kakashi was momentarily stunned by Naruto's outbreak, it didn't happen since team 7 was formed afterall.

He was also caught off guard by Naruto's words, because he sometimes forgets that his students are only kids, and expects too much from them.

"How about you two tell me why were you fighting first?" Said Kakashi, changing the subject

"Hn!" (Mind your own business)

Naruto averted eye contact with Kakashi, as the reason this discussion started was completely stupid

"Sigh~

Let's do it like that then, you two will fight it out, since it seems you both agreed on that beforehand, but without jutsus as to not damage the village, what do you say? i can overview the entire fight so it doesn't becomes dangerous"

"Hn" Nodded Sasuke

"...Alright" Said Naruto

-=-

Five minutes later

Naruto and Sasuke are standing in front of eachother

"3...2...1... start"

As soon as Kakashi's voice was heard, Sasuke activated his now 2 tomoes sharingan, and rushed at Naruto. But who is Naruto? he can fight Lee in equal terms, someone Sasuke still has difficulties following the speed.

So as soon as Sasuke rushed at Naruto, the fight was already over.

Sasuke tried punching Naruto with his left hand, but it was a faint and the real attack was a kick from the left, Naruto saw all of this as if it was in slow motion

"Too slow" He said as he evaded Sasuke's kick

Naruto then punched Sasuke from the right, a punch which Sasuke barely had enough time to block, but who would guess, this was also a faint, the real attack was a roundhouse kick, which hit Sasuke directly.

Sasuke was sent back, stumbling a little, but Naruto continued to attack, a punch to the gut, a kick on the side of the face, and then a throw to a wall, Sasuke had no time to react as he was beaten up.

"Naruto, that's enough" Kakashi said, but when he was going to approach Naruto to ask what really happened, Naruto teleported away.

"Sigh~, having a team is so troublesome" Kakashi started to sound like a Nara, that only means that this team is giving him way too much headaches recently.

-=-

Instead of teleporting home, Naruto went to the middle of a forest.

/you can let it out, there is no one around here\

[Don't bottle up kit, that outbreak is obviously because you are too stressed]

'...fine...'

Naruto the started punching trees, trowing some random jutsus from time to time, screaming as loud as he could, as a way to let some steam out.

Since he reincarnated, he never really took a day off, at best he had some moments were he was not training or fighting, and as we all know, that is not healthy.

After a while, Naruto was back at his normal self, but the same could not be said about the forest, as it niw looked more like a battlefield.

"That felt good, i needed that"

'I think i will take a week off from training... i will be out for some time training anyways...'

-=-

Back at Konoha, Sasuke woke up from his mental breakdown

But when he woke up from it, he was already beaten up on the ground.

'Damnit! he aways lost to me at the academy, why is he so strong so suddenly?' he lamented over the wrong thing.

Sasuke then remembered the feeling of unlimited power that the cursed mark gave him, so he thought

'Maybe... i could use this to grow stronger faster?'

"Sasuke, are you okay?" Kakashi's voice brought Sasuke's mind from wherever it was

"I'm fine..." he said as he got up and started walking away, deep in thoughts

"Oh! right, Sasuke what happened for you and Naruto to fight?" Kakashi asked, but Sasuke was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't hear it, so Kakashi ended up not even knowing what truly happened.

-=-

While Naruto was bickering with Sasuke, he at least had the decency of sending a clone to inform Sakura of her new training with Tsunade.

He already talked avout it with Ikki beforehand, so she was going to tell Karin and Hinata about it, mostly for them to plan the training trip, as they could spend one week training, one week at konoha, courtesy of hiraishin.

So the clone had to inform Sakura of this training.

(If you got confused, Ikki, Karin and Hinata are going to plan for the trip, With Naruto and Jiraya, Sakura is going to be informed of her new training under Tsunade, only that.)

"I hate my job" Poor clone, can only complain as he can't do anything about it.

-=-

Later, at night (I know i changed the pace of the events, but i want to just finish tgis part, so sorry if it feels a bit rushed)

Naruto found Sasuke walking away from a sleeping Sakura, that was sleeping on a bench in the middle of the village.

'she is gonna catch a cold...'

[THAT IS NOT THE IMPORTANT PART]

'I know...'

"Oi Sasuke" As soon as Naruto called him, Sasuke froze, he could deal with Sakura, but if Naruto wanted to stop him from leaving the village, he couldn't do anything about it.

Stealthily Naruto put a restricting seal on Sakura, so she couldn't move or talk, but could hear and woke her from the genjutsu Sasuke put her into.

'Hehehe, this is going to be great'

[Can't you be serious for once?]

'No I can't'

[...]

"Why is Sakura sleeping on a bench?" Asked Naruto with faje suspicion in his tone

"I-I don't know..." Said Sasuke in a way that only someone as dumb as OG Naruto would be fooled.

"That is not important for now, i wanted to say sorry"

"Huu? f-for what?"

"For beating the living shit out of you?

A tick mark appeared on Sasuke's forehead, if you paid enough attention you could also hear his teeth hitting eachother.

"Anyway, changing the subject, you like Sakura don't you Sasuke?"

"WHAT?" Sasuke scream could also mean yes, if you thought about it

'What?' Sakura thought, even though when she woke up she was panicking, she now forgot all about that, because she heard the magic word, Sasuke.

"W-What are you even talking about?"

"You know that we are very similar, right?

We both lost our families, had almost no friends, and were scared"

"I am not scared, what are you talking about?"

"We both know Sasuke, you are scared of getting too close with someone, and losing this person as well."

"..." Sasuke remained silent

"I had the same problem before, but let me tell you this, Sasuke.

If you fear losing someone again, just get strong enough so it wont happen, if you live alone because of this fear and later come to regret it, there wont be a way to change it"

"I... will think about it" Sasuke answered, indecisiveness in his tone

"Sure, take your time on this one" Said Naruto as he put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder.

'Mission accomplished'

[Great acting Kit]

'Hehe, i Know'

Naruto has just put a hiraishin mark on Sasuke's shoulder, and collected the chakra absorbing seal he previously placed on him.

"I am going home, don't stay out for too long, you never know when a snake will attack you"

Sasuke's eyes widen and he turns to where Naruto was, only to find an empty place

"Does he know?"

As both of them went away, no one helped Sakura, who was 'sleeping' on a bench, in the middle of a open space on acold night.

Sasuke because it would be too akward for him to do it, and Naruto because he didn't care enough about Sakura.

-=-

some time later, someone who isn't part of the anti-sakura faction, found Sakura, 'woke' her, and discovered about Sasuke's defection, and instantly went to inform the hokage.

Tsunade immediately decided to form a team of high level ninjas to bring him back, but strangely discovered that from one hour to the next all of the jonins of konoha got occupied for whatever reason, so she decide to send whoever was available, the new chunnins Shikamaru,Naruto and Lee and the other gennins.

If you think about it, Danzo obviously had something to do with every jonin being occupied at this exact time, seems like he and Orochimaru still did some... ' exchanges ' from time to time...
