Author's notes: This is my first ever written fic on Naruto, first I was imagining all the plot in my head during my lazy hours, then came with idea to write it down so the people could appreciate my overtwisted imagination. Don't know how many chapters this would take, but anyway keep reading, hope you will like it really.

Chapter 1.

Naruto closed his eyes, starting to feel dizzy once in a while. Cool breeze touched his face, slightly ruffling his long blonde hair. His usual evening sightseeing was worth it, for the sun gently lowered itself into the depth of the mountains, throwing its last rays upon the darkened forest. It was his refuge and asylum well hidden from everyone's eyes, so no disturbance could make it there. Too quiet and lifeless other than the nature's whisper. Who could have guessed there was such a perfect spot not too far away from the Konohagakure, but very calm indeed.

Naruto came here at almost every available time, when he was free from his ANBU duties, training sessions with his team, training by himself, sharing his time to deal with Godaime's special requests such as the collecting of medical herbs and healing jutsus, visiting his rare friends and most of all the ever so hard missions in which he has been engaged more often since...

Since the thing called THE FLAME OF YOUTH has taken over all of them which wasn't indeed surprizing since yesterdays genins were on their early twenties, ranking chounin. Many girls found dating rather interesting than taking up the missions, and guys followed them discovering things such as courting and making love. So the empty places of shinobi needed to be filled, Konoha coudn't allow any loosening not after what happened previous years. Sure a lot of great things happened, they defeated Orochimaru in a deathly fight, but thanks to Sasuke and Naruto the numbers of possible victims were reduced tenfolds, resulting in some average injuries and long healing wounds. But it was a price to be paid, cause Orochimaru's total defeat during his thunderous invasion into village left some indiscovered mysteries among which was the sudden and complete return of Uchiha Sasuke. Shock still coudn't pass. Why had Sasuke returned and what happened to him in those long years, hadn't he betrayed the village going to Orochimaru in order to gain unbelievable power to kill Itachi. Those were the main questions answers to which lay in only stubborn Uchiha's head, he didn't tell anyone. Yet people still cherished the Uchiha name and upon the vanishing of the last one of them wondered if it still be possible to reestablish infamous clan.

No explanations were needed when the next day of Uchiha's return Konoha was attacked by Orochimaru and his henchmen. Disaster was expected yet it never came. No one really knew or understood what happened but the fact was Konoha had been protected and Orochumaru one of famous Sannin was killed.

When Sasuke saw Naruto for the first time in 10 years they spent separately, he was much more than merely surprised, he was stunned to the point he couldn't move. Naruto, dead last, the most annoying and loud, abnoxious brat the world had ever seen became... became. He just coudn't describe it in the first place. Naruto changed really greatly. His sunshine hair flowed freely upon his jounin vest clad back, his frame slim and slender yet so much power of well trained muscles were seen. His body usually covered by awful orange suit and baggy pants, now was clad in strict ANBU uniform, opening his forearms, and tight black pants revealed his gorgeous ass and slender straight legs. Sasuke was taken aback by this new personality, more over his face was no longer exposing stupid smile all the time. In fact, and Sasuke was yet to discover that, his smile was seen more rare and rare. Serious eyes showed little emotion, but what Sasuke saw in them scared him the most – they were blank and awfully exhausted. As if dobe had to carry on his back the whole weight of the world. Long lashes closed half of his face, but Naruto didn't care, anyway being an AnBU squad leader required total secrecy, and he virtually wear his ANBU mask all the time except sleeping, eating, showering hours and all that stuff. Not many people knew his true identity, he was wearing mask representing fox, and revealed his face only to Tsunade, Jiraya and some close friends among which were to sasuke's total unbelief Chouji and Ten Ten. They befriended after every other member of Rookie Nine and Gai team had found their mates except those three.

In several weeks sasuke was shocked and stunned over the changes that happened to village and his pals during the years he was absent so many times that by the end of the month Sasuke even thought that the news for example about Tsunade and Ero sennin making out together wouldn't surprise him.

Yet the most stunning thing was Naruto. Of course no one told him about Naruto being Jounin, including ANBU membership and on top of that being squad leader thing. Truth to be told, Sasuke has yet to gain back trustworthyness, it was decided that he would be secretly observed for some time. It was more safer way than tell him directly their suspicions, true he helped a lot with defeating Orochimaru, and never showed any suspicious moves but his past as an avenger and Orochimaru's favorite pupil left no choice. The more he got to know Naruto aknew the more he was getting attracted to the blond.

Where was former clumsy usuratonkachi? Today's Naruto looked like a real shinobi whom he was, he was composed and behaved with so much dignity.

After some research Sasuke found out though Naruto was 23, he hadn't have any girlfriend yet, it seemed as if poor guy was even virgin. It looked suspicous.
