Sauske's thoughts


He made his way through the village, looking for a small restaurant. He had been traveling for about three days now and had run out of food that morning. After the injuries that he has sustained, he would need all the energy he could get. He was really tired by the time he reached the small ramen shop in the middle of the village.

"Can I get an order of ramen?"

The vendor looked up from his place and smiled. "Sure thing."

As the young Uchiha waited, there was suddenly a large uproar in the village. Then, a young woman appeared in the shop. "They're back! The ninja are back!"

Ninja?

When the vendor was about to leave, Sasuke grabbed his arm and turned to face him. "What ninja?"

The vendor blinked and quickly explained the situation. "There was a murderer around here that always targeted young girls. It was up to nine deaths when we asked for assistance from the ninja. They're the elite of Konoha."

At the mention of Konoha Sasuke let go of the man's arm.

Konoha? Ninja from Konoha? This isn't good. They don't know that I killed Orochimaru yet. To them, I'm still a missing nin. It's been eight years since I've seen anyone from the Hidden Leaf Village. They probably won't recognize me, but just in case.

He quickly preformed hand signals and his facial appearance changed. His eyes became a light brown, his face more pointed, and his tone slightly darker. Surly no one would recognize him now. He got up and walked to the crowd forming in the middle of the village. All around the villagers murmured. As he got closer the ninja, he felt some familiar chakra signatures. When he was finally able to see the ninja, he was stunned.

There, standing in the middle of the crowd, was old team seven.

TBC...


I'm still continuing Love is a Battlefield, but the idea of this story came to me one day when i couldn't sleep and i just couldn't ignore it. Just to say right now, I have nothing against Sakura at all. She's one of my favorite characters in the whole series, but the thing that happens to her only happens for drama, not because I hate her. You'll understand as the story unravels.

Plz review!
