Come Back, Sasuke!

"Sasuke! Please wake up!" yelled Naruto, shaking Sasuke with his right hand clutching his blue collar.
"I have already told you, dumbass. I have woke up," said Sasuke, glaring at Naruto with his sharingan eyes. "And you are going to die."
"Sasuke, this isn't your path, damnit!" said Naruto, clutching Sasuke's collars in his fists. "You're my friend, and you said that I am… your friend. R-right?"
"That's why I'm going to kill you. So I can get more power. If my best friend dies, then I will get more power. I am an Avenger after all, Naruto," said Sasuke, punching him in the stomach.
Naruto spat blood as he let go, heaving at the pain in his stomach, "Sasuke…"
"Shut up," he snapped, picking Naruto up by the neck. "Here lies your death. After all, this is the Valley of the End."
Naruto looked at Sasuke, his eyebrows closed, his mouth opening and closing, trying to phrase what he wanted to say. "Sa-Sasuke, what will you do after you have your revenge?'
"I don't know," replied Sasuke. "Probably come back to Konoha and continue my path down the Chuunin path and eventually work at the Leaf's Police force. I'm sure my father would have wanted me to work there," he paused, "after all, the Leaf's Police Force was started by a member of my ancestor."
"Then forget your revenge and come back to Konoha! Forget your brother, and if he ever comes back to Konoha, then you can get your revenge then!" said Naruto. "If your father wanted you to work at the Police Force, then do that!"
"Naruto," he gritted his teeth, closing his eyes, giving him a small grin, "Kukuku…" he chuckled evilly, "You've gotten stronger, and what have I been doing? Kukuku… nothing!"
Naruto stared at Sasuke, fearing Sasuke. His laughter seemed eerily similar to Orochimaru's. He shook his head, his chest heaving with pain, struggling to hold his tears back. He closed his eyes, raising his hand to Sasuke's cheeks, causing to take him by surprise and stopped the evil sounding laughter as Naruto spoke.
"Brother… If you want to blame my powers on something…" he said, "then blame it on Nine-tails demon that lies within me. Blame it on Konoha Village for it."
"Nine-tails…? What the hell are you talking about?" asked Sasuke and sighed. "Whatever, it's too late, kukuku," said Sasuke, "Whether you have a demon or not in you, it's all the same to me."
Naruto growled, scratching Sasuke's face with his sharper nails, causing Sasuke to drop him. Naruto stared up at him, his fangs bared and his voiced grew deeper with anger.
"Don't you know how many years I have suffered by the village?" yelled Naruto, "Don't you know how lonely I was? I hated, and I still hate the feeling of loneliness, I know you do too," he said, closing his eyes.
"Loneliness was killing me! Please don't go down the path of revenge! Break free from that darkness, Sasuke!" screamed Naruto, blinking his eyes rapidly to hold the tears back. "Orochimaru will have you as a container!"
Sasuke blinked, taking a step back, "Container?"
"Yes, container," spat Naruto, clutching the dirt with his claws.
Sasuke looked away, furrowing his eyebrows in thought. "My… brother said something about a container, the night he killed my clan..." he whispered, "Naruto, tell me exactly what is a container."
"I don't know the exact details, Sasuke, but Orochimaru wants your body so he can continue his immortality conquest" he said, "or something like that so he could gain all of the jutsu in the world and destroy the world as we know it! That's why he gave you the cursed seal, not just to give you power, but his means of taking your body."
Sasuke spoke nothing, staring at Naruto; encouraged, Naruto kept talking.
"Sasuke, please don't let Orochimaru get his way. Or Konoha will be…" Naruto trailed off, not wanting to imagine the worse.
"Or Konoha will be what Naruto?" asked Sasuke, crossing his arms.
"Or Konoha will be destroyed, obliterated by Orochimaru," replied Naruto. "The Leaf's Police force that your ancestor started, will be gone, our schools, the Hokages along the cliffs, it will all be eradicated by him. Do you want that, Sasuke?"
"Nngh…" Sasuke made a voice with his voice.
"Do you!" yelled Naruto, tightening his fists in front of him.
Sasuke stared at Naruto, looking aghast. "The Leaf's Police force…?"
"Will be gone," finished Naruto. "Please Sasuke."
Sasuke stared at the First and Second Hokages on both sides of the waterfall and sighed. "What will I do with the cursed seal, then? I need power. I need to kill you."
"You will get power, the way Kakashi, the Hokages, and everyone else in the village got theirs. You've got to work hard, and a lot of patience too, Sasuke. We're only thirteen years old, we have time! Heck, if you want, we can fight each other every day, getting stronger, as a part of our training," he said, grinning.
Naruto's grin faltered and his face grew serious.
"But killing me is not one of the ways to gain power," said Naruto, clutching his fists at his sides.
"What do you know about gaining power, Naruto?" growled Sasuke.
"You said that your dreams are only in the past, not the future. Have you ever tried thinking about, dreaming about working at the Leaf's Police force? Don't tell me that you don't care about any of us!" screamed Naruto.
Sasuke stared at Naruto and looked away from him.
"I don't like you being the way you are now, Sasuke! It's breaking Sakura… it's breaking me. It's breaking everyone in Konoha. I've only known loneliness all my life until I became a Genin, Sasuke," he said.
Naruto stared at Sasuke, giving him a small smile.
"I had wondered what it was like to have a brother…" said Naruto, pointing a finger at Sasuke. "You're like a brother to me than anyone else. Please don't leave the Leaf's Village."
Sasuke hmphed, his gaze continued to study the waterfall and began chuckling.
"I shouldn't have loitered around to listen to you… it makes me to almost want to come back home," said Sasuke, looking away from the waterfall and sighed.
Naruto stared at Sasuke in anticipation, ready to attack if needed. Sasuke began to laugh in his normal way and grinned at Naruto.
"Let's go home," he paused, giving a bigger smile, "Naruto friend."
Naruto blinked at the use of his name and grinned, "Yeah!" he whooped, punching the air.
Sasuke made a sound, moving away from Naruto, staring past him.
Confused, Naruto studied Sasuke.
"Hm? What Sasuke?" asked Naruto, turning around. "Kakashi-sensei!"
"…Hello boys…" said Kakashi, looking at the pair. "I see you two have been fighting."
"Heh, heh, heh," chuckled Naruto nervously, scratching the back of his head. "We were just training."
"I'm sure you two were," he said, studying the two boys and shook his head, "let's go back to the Village," said Kakashi.
"What? That's all you're going to say?" asked Pakkun, appearing from behind Kakashi, looking up at him, pawing his left leg.
"For now, yes Pakkun… though, there will be a long lecture for the both of them. Lives were sacrificed to get Sasuke back, after all," said Kakashi, his voice cool.
Sasuke's stared at Kakashi, making a sound with his throat.
"I don't know if any of our comrades are alive or not, we need to go back now," said Kakashi, jumping up into the tree branches, followed by Pakkun.
The other two stared at each other, worried about the other comrades that had come with Naruto to get Sasuke back. Nodding, the two followed Kakashi close behind.
"Who came with you, Naruto? I forgot who they were when you said their names…" asked Sasuke, following close behind Naruto.
"Chouji… Neji… Kiba… Shikamaru. And at one point, Fuzzy Eyebrows showed up," replied Naruto quietly.
"Lee?" asked Sasuke, slowing down his pace, realizing what the shinobis of Konoha had done for him.
'What have I become?' he wondered.
Sighing, he sped up to catch up to Naruto and the others.
Half way through the forest, medics appeared alongside Kakashi and the boys.
"Need any assistance?" asked one of them.
"No, I'm fine," replied Naruto, Sasuke nodding in agreement.
"That's good, we're just getting everyone back to the hospital. Both Neji and Chouji are in critical condition, we're not sure if they are going to make it. The others will need assistance, but they will be fine."
Naruto blanched at the news, remembering the last time he saw Chouji and Neji. His bottom lip quivered at the thought of losing his comrades. Distracted by the dark thoughts, Naruto missed a step on a branch and fell to the ground fifty feet below.
"Naruto!" yelled Sasuke, jumping after him.
