Sasuke Uchiha

Gender: Male
Birthdate; July 23
Age: 16
Story: When he was 12 years old, he set off in search of power. Now he is 16 and has gotten a lot stronger. But is is stronge enough to get his revenge?

Naruto stood in the water of the small river he had found not far from the leaf village as he practiced his justu. He quickly did the justu as he screamed. "All Directions Shuriken" In a poof there where many of him as he tried to get it just right. It was one of his first justu's he had learned and now he wanted to perfect it.

Sasuke was out, walking, just needing some space from his training with Orochimaru. He found himself near the leaf village. Up ahead he could sense Naruto. He masked his presence before going closer, watching him from a nearby branch.

At once all the copy's and even Naruto leaping in the air as they all attacked at once. Each one picking a different tree to attack. Naruto let out a scream as he found himself attacking not just a tree but Sasuke instead. He quickly jumped back as the others did the same. The copy's vanished as he stood there now standing in the water as he tried to catch his breath. "Hey what is the big idea? "

Sasuke was a bit surprised when Naruto came at him. He smirked slightly when he jumped back. "What's the matter, Naruto? Surprised to see me?" he asked. He dropped down so that he was down on the ground. His hand went to the hilt of his katana, ready to pull it out.

Naruto just stared at him as he wondered if Sasuke was going to try and kill him or just make fun of him. "Yes...short of. I figured you would appear again some time. You are that type of person. Vanishing for a while then reappear with vengeance on your mind. So who are you after this time." He yelled as he felt his anger growing. He hand ready to use his Kunai if he needed to. "Really nice how you just vanished when we all needed you. Why are you even back? Just go back where you came from. Its not like you will be here when anyone needs you."

"I'm not after anybody. I just happened to be nearby." Sasuke said. He could tell that Naruto was mad. And he did have every right to be. He knew he would calm down after a few minutes. He was never mad for long. He was a little hurt by what he said. Though he didn't let it show. "Do you really just want me to leave? I thought you wanted me to come back." he asked.

"Ugh"Naruto said as he he shook his head and closed his eyes. He tried to clam down before he said something he didn't mean. He let out a breath as he took a set on one of the rocks in the river just behind him. He stared down at the water as he began to chuckle then looked back at Sasuke. "I did but I figured you left for good. You just said you where nearby so where are you really going. Your not coming back are you? You hurt a lot of people by leaving I hope you know that. I want to attack you and make you pay or feel some of the pain but why what would it solve you already did it. Just be safe ok Sasuke on whatever your really up to."

"I'm not up to anything, Naruto. I don't really know why I came back in this direction. I wasn't planning to. I guess something deep inside wanted me to come back to the village. Though I know that there is no way I even can come back." Sasuke said. He sighed slightly. A part of him did want to come back. But another part was saying that he couldn't and that nobody wanted him here.

"Why couldn't you? No one wanted you to leave. I know I didn't. You could have said bye but I guess that was for some one you cared about." He said as he felt his anger rise again. He closed his eyes as he fought back the tears and the anger. He open his eyes as he rose to his feet. "Maybe the right side of you is trying to get you to see you have a home here and people that love you Sasuke. You do have friends here that would help you if you would let them." Naruto said as he took a steep closer to Sasuke. "I'm mad at you I want lie. I'm mad because you just left with out saying good bye or thinking of anyone besides your self. The village hasn't been the same without you and it wont be. Yea you may hate me and that is fine you can join the rest of the village in that department but your still my friend and I miss you here even if you do try and kill me once in a while and attack me."

"I don't hate you, Naruto. I've never hated you." Sasuke said. He sighed quietly. "You don't understand. It's not so easy to just go back to the village. I betrayed them. And do you know what happens to traitors if they return to their village? They're killed. And I don't want to have to be killed because I want to come back. So unless you can find a way for me to be able to come back, I won't be able to." he told him.

"Your wrong they wouldn't..." He let his words cut off as he let his mind work. They would and they would kill him from being here with him. Though most days they would just kill him for being him well the fox demon any how. He hung his head as he turned heading to the bank. " I don't know Sasuke. I wont to help you but your right about them. Not every one in there wants you dead. I know that boy who betrayed us all wasn't the Sasuke I knew. If he's still in there then I'll do what I can to help. If you betray me you will regret it Sasuke I will hunt you down and make you pay." He said as he stared at the village that was not far from there.

"The Sasuke you knew might still be in here. But if so, he's been locked away for a long time." Sasuke said. "I won't do anything to betray you. I want to come back to the village. But I won't be able to without your help. I need you, Naruto." he said. Though he wasn't exactly sure why he said that. He had never needed help before. Yet he knew he wouldn't be able to do this alone. He really did need him.

Naruto turned his head as he looked to Sasuke. He let out a sigh as he knew he would regret this. He hung his head as he heated his naive nature. "What do you want me to do Sasuke?" He said knowing he would some how get in trouble for this.He turned and faced him as he stared deep into Sasuke's eyes. "Then let him out I liked him better. At lest that one didn't try and kill me and he didn't betray anyone. He was always a step a head of us but he had my back and rather he knew it or not he was my best friend. I want my friend back. You might be quite and a bit of a loner but I know that is all a act Sasuke. You need to be around others and have friends just as I do and anyone else."

Sasuke nodded slightly. "Alright. I will try to be the person I was before I left. Though it may be hard for me to go back to the way I was. I haven't been that person in a long time." he said. He really wanted to be that person. But he had changed so much over the years. Mainly to protect himself from the pain of betraying his friends. If he hadn't wanted power so badly, he wouldn't have done it in the first place.

"Yea don't thank me yet your not back in yet. You still have much to prove to every one and me." He said at almost a whisper as he turned from him taking a few steps before he turned and looked over his shoulder at him. "So how did all that power work for you? It looks like you are miserable. If you like I'll put you some food in a bag here."Naurto said as he didn't know what to say feeling bad about every thing. He wanted to be mad at him but couldn't. "You know why come to me for help? You can say what you want but you came here to find me." He said as he smiled.

"I'll do whatever it takes to make up for it." Sasuke said. "I never should have left in the first place. I don't need Orochimaru's power. And I don't need you to leave me food." he told him. He was silent for a few minutes. "I don't know why I came to you. I guess because no matter what I said or did to you, you still wanted to be my friend."

Naruto stared at him as he turned. "Well when you figure out what you do need let me know. I have to get back." He said as he walked off heading back to the village. He didn't know how to help Sasuke he had really got himself into trouble this time. Naruto himself was use to being in trouble but nothing like that. He closed his eyes as he placed his hands on his head trying to think. He let out a breath as he gave up and let his mind go blank.

"I will." Sasuke muttered. Though he had no idea what he was going to do. He knew that there was a chance he was never going to be able to go back to the village. But he also wasn't going to go back to Orochimaru. He turned and headed away from the village. It wouldn't be a good idea to be seen anywhere near the village. And he needed time to think of what he was going to do.

Naurato hung his head as he was greeted with the normal rude commit and being yelled out. Really he could understand wanting to get ride of it but he couldn't hurt anyone in the village and he would love to. He had worked to hard to tame his own demon to let it slip out and do any harm. He went threw his normal day of training and terrorizing others. Before he went back to his own home he walked to the river and placed a small bag full of goodies for Sauska.

Sasuke sat deep in the forest, meditating. He had no idea how he was going to be accepted back in the village. He was hoping that by meditating he would come up with something. But after several hours, no such luck. He headed back to the spot where he saw Naruto. Maybe if he was there they would come up with something together. He found the bag that was left there and went through it.

Naruto couldn't sleep and get his mind off Suska. He gave up and gathered his things and dressed himself. He quickly ran to the river and moved quickly threw the trees stopping as he found sasuke. He smiled as he watched him happy to see he had found the food and clothing he had put there for him. He kept quite just watching hoping not to startle him.

Sasuke froze, feeling someone approach. But then relaxed, knowing who it was. He set down the things he was holding and turned towards him. "I know you're there, Naruto. Might as well come out." he told him. His gaze went to where Naruto was as he waited for him to show himself.
