Sasuke mở mắt, squinting chống lại nỗi đau đầu mà đã tạo thành từ các hit. "Bạn đang ồn ào, thằng ngu."Ông giữ mắt được đào tạo về phía mặt đất, kiểm tra không gian giữa bàn chân của họ sandaled. Tại thời điểm đó, thị trấn này có Sasuke thấy rằng ý tưởng của nhìn lên-của phải đối mặt với những đôi mắt màu xanh trung thực-là đáng sợ. Gió nhảy giữa chúng, bụi và hương thơm của lá nóng ấm của mặt trời. Sau khi những gì có vẻ như vô tận của sự im lặng, của Naruto tay trượt đi như trơn tru với tên ông thì thầm vào hơi thở exhaled một."Sasuke."Như thể kiểm soát của chakra strings, dark-haired ninja tìm thấy chiêm ngưỡng của mình kéo theo hướng mà tiếng nói. Ông sau đó là một dòng của lấp lánh ánh sáng từ xương một sắc nét cổ khác, để rỗng của cổ họng của Naruto và sau đó lên trên, mạnh mẽ theo đuổi con đường sinew và gân để tìm một tự hào, crafted hàm. Ông mất của mình thời gian kiểm tra tia ánh sáng mặt trời trong tóc vàng trước khi trượt chiêm ngưỡng của mình qua thác giống như đánh dấu cách. Cuối cùng, đôi mắt của mình đến để nghỉ ngơi trên môi của Naruto, xem như nếu hypnotized khi họ bắt đầu để di chuyển."Mỗi khi tôi nhìn thấy bạn, đó là bằng cách nào đó như chúng tôi đang họp lần đầu tiên."Một vê của tội lỗi đã bắn từ ngực của Sasuke, đe dọa để đóng cổ họng của mình. Ông clenched nắm tay của mình để tóc vàng sẽ không nhận thấy ngón tay của mình lắc khi ông đến cho phòng thủ của ông, dập một bức tường bảo vệ giữa chúng. Ông quản lý nhếch mép lạnh, nâng một lông mày tối."You're right, Naruto. We might as well be strangers.""You're a terrible liar." Naruto replied immediately. "I don't think you would have such a hard time looking a stranger in the eye, would you?"Sasuke's eyes shot up as anger flared within him. But as soon as his gaze rested upon twin pools of depthless sapphire blue, the anger faded faster than it had appeared. Sasuke found himself stepping back, suddenly feeling uneasy with their close proximity. He noticed then, for the first time, that Naruto had gotten taller than him. The Sage stood with his hands in his pockets, the wind ruffling his golden hair and deep red cloak. Behind him, the carved heads of the Hokage's loomed above Konoha, watching haughtily as Sasuke gapped at his childhood friend."Do you know how much you throw me off?" Sasuke wondered, watching as Naruto frowned, fighting with whatever emotions were raging within him. "Just being around you messes with my head, you idiot blond."At that thought, the memory of their encounter during the war flashed across Sasuke's mind, almost a year ago to the day; and yet it seemed so far away that it may as well have occurred in a different world.Naruto bent over, breathing heavily as sweat dripped from his brow. The landscape around him was utterly destroyed. Huge chunks of earth were broken and overturned, and water was rushing up from the ground. Here and there, the bodies of the former Jinchuuriki lay silently within the rubble. Bee lay on his back panting, mumbling something about being too tired to even rhyme as he gripped a deep cut on his abdomen. As expected, their opponent had disappeared as soon as his Jinchuuriki army had been destroyed."Are you alright, Naruto?" Kakashi placed a hand on his ex-students trembling shoulder, his headband already pulled down to hide his sharingan."I'll be fine." Naruto replied roughly as he wiped sweat from his brow. "I just need to rest for a few minutes before we head out again."His old sensei nodded firmly, glancing over to his rival. Gai was visibly pouting, clearly unhappy with being outshone by a boy many years his junior. Kakashi sighed loudly, hoping that this would be over quickly so that he could get some peace and quiet."Listen, Naruto." The white-haired ninja said, turning back to his student. "Can you let Gai and me out of here? We'll be fine now.""More than fine, actually," Kakashi thought, "Not only did Naruto's chakra heal our wounds, but I feel much stronger than I usually do."The blond nodded and straightened up, rolling his broad shoulders and stretching his tired arms. He then held two fingers before himself, concentrating for a moment. Then suddenly, the massive form of the Nine-Tailed Fox retracted into his body, rushing silently and swiftly like a living, liquid fire.
After being encompassed by that chakra, the air felt surprisingly cold.
Naruto exhaled sharply, folding his hands behind his head and leaning back. He surveyed the wreckage around them with a deep frown. Kakashi continued to observe him, unable to forget the moment when Naruto had appeared before them, saving them from the tailed beasts.
"Sensei, can you see your son from where you are?" Kakashi thought idly. "Forgive me, sensei, but I think he has surpassed you completely."
"KAKASHI!"
Gai's sudden outburst made them both jump. "I think we'd better get Bee to the medical team right away! This wound is pretty bad. And besides, we should really check in with the other units!"
Kakashi nodded before looking back at Naruto warily. The blond read his thoughts, grinning widely. "Don't worry about it Kakashi-sensei. I really am going to rest for a bit. And besides, I can't see the enemy returning here. Not for a while, at least."
After hesitating for a moment, Kakashi nodded, concern flashing over his charcoal black eye. "Don't do anything reckless." He said in the bored, exasperated tone he was so used to using on the Jinchuuriki. The copy-ninja turned and made his way over to Gai, helping him hoist their injured comrade. After a few minutes the massive ninja submitted to their support, though his words of protest echoed around the rocky space as the three slowly made their way in the direction of the closest medical team.
As soon as they had vanished from sight, Naruto lowered himself to the ruined ground, clutching at his chest. His eyes stung hotly as he whispered, "You can sense him too, right Kurama?"
The fox demon frowned, baring his teeth in distaste. "Of course, kid. How could I not notice a chakra so ominous?
