Chapter One : For my Master

/../../

Roots of the trees of the forest bashed against his legs, arms, and all along his back as he was pulled through the forest. The thing that was wrapped around his leg had long since cut off the circulation to his ankle and foot. Tears leaked from the young kitsune's eyes as he tried to grab onto anything that would stop him from being pulled to God knows where.

"TOU-CHAN!" His soft voice screamed to all the forest but no one answered.

He cried out in frustration as the root that he had managed to grab onto snapped in two; not even managing to slow him in the least. Scenes whipped past as fear gripped his heart. He had no idea what was going on nor did he not know why someone wasn't coming after him. Didn't Sasuke say that he would protect him? But Naruto couldn't sense the boy anywhere.

"KAA-SAN!" More tears rolled down his whisker marked cheeks as the tree flew past. Naruto could feel his heart trying to escape his chest as the wind whipped through his ears.

Naruto screamed out in pain as his one free leg smashed into the trunk of a tree. He felt the crack in his forming bone more than heard the sound that sounded just before his scream of pain. White dots bleed into his vision as the pain grew stronger and stronger as his injured leg bounced against the forest floor.

Great heaving sobs tore from the five year olds mouth as he once again tried to slow himself as the trees grew closer and closer together. His leg was now continuously hitting against roots, trees, and the shrubs of the forest floor. "Sasuke…please…"

Naruto's cerulean eyes blinked out tears as he felt himself slowing down. His vision was not only blurred from the tears that came down from his eyes but also because the pain that was coursing through his body was making him dizzy and nauseated all at once. The ground dipped slightly coursing him to speed up but he vaguely noticed that the thing around his leg had slackened as if whatever was pulling him had stopped and was now letting gravity do the work.

Naruto cried out as his injured leg hit a large grey-blue boulder that sat in the crop of trees. Naruto's chest rapidly rose and fell as he tried to remain conscious. "Sasuke…" Naruto sniffed as he slowly raised his hand and wiped at his eyes but even the small movement of his arm to his face made the world flip and twist violently.

"Is he really the one?!"

Naruto's head twisted as he tried to make out the source of the voice. He didn't know that voice. The little kitsune twitched knowing that it was never good for one as young as he to be away from his parents. Kitsune are born knowing that if they are not in the presence of their parents than they are in danger.

"He looks like a miniature version of the Yondaime. There is no doubt."

Naruto's whole body started to shake. He knew it was out of fear but he also knew it was because his body hurt so much that he was slowly losing control over his body functions. Naruto's eyes widened as he felt hands grabbed at him. He yelled out and tried to twist free but they were to strong and his body wanted nothing more than to sleep.

"He has the whisker marks but what about the seal?"

Naruto growled out as he renewed his attempts at freedom. His Tou-chan and Kaa-san both told him not to let anyone see the seal that was on his tummy. They said that until he was able to protect himself that it would not be a good idea to let others see the mark on his flesh. Naruto thrashed and even managed to hit one of the people that grabbed at him until his arms were pinned at his sides and his shirt was roughly pulled up.

"Shit! It is true!"

"Don't touch me! Tou-chan! Kaa-san! SASUKE!"

Naruto gargled out a yell as one of his attackers slapped him hard against his cheek. Instantly a strong coppery metallic taste entered his mouth as his head snapped to the side.

"Don't talk kit! You will speak only when spoken to!"

Naruto's eyes slowly started to droop as his felt one of his attacker's hand tracing the spiral of the seal. He felt sick at the feel of some stranger touching his flesh. The man was leaving burning flesh in the wake of his wandering finger. Naruto continued to cry out for his parents and for Sasuke and all that got him was another slap to his face.

"Come on. Orochimaru is waiting for his prize."

Naruto's eyes widened slightly at the sound of the man's words. The voice was dripping with malice and excitement. Whoever this Orochimaru was Naruto knew in his very essence that it was not a good idea to be seeing this man. Naruto was just about to try and summon the last of his strength when the attacker that had been feeling his stomach raised his other hand and placed it over Naruto's mouth.

Blue eyes widened slightly as the man muttered something under his breath as a strange glowing kanji appeared on the palm of the hand that was covering his face. Blonde eyebrows drew together slightly before the edges of his vision started to dim. Soon the darkness spread over his eyes and his eyelids started to fall even if he was willing them not to.

Naruto's last thoughts were on his parents and why they didn't come for him. But suddenly the image of a raven haired young boy flashed through his mind. A sad smile graced the angelic face of Naruto as Sasuke's very being filled him. His friend would come for him even if he didn't ask him to because Sasuke had said that he would protect the boy.

/../../

Sasuke tied the strings to his mask at the back of his head. He was finally going to get the dobe back. But something in the back of his mind kept telling him that Naruto wasn't going to be there. He had had too many close calls at finding the golden kitsune and now he was starting to think that once they got there this was going to be like the times before. They would find the hideout but the blonde wouldn't be there anymore.

Growling slightly under his breath Sasuke reached to the many satchels that were attached to his person to make sure that he had everything he needed. This was going to a simple snatch and grab operation. Jiraiya had said that the hideout this time was an old abandoned laboratory that was within the Konoha border. They didn't know how many people were going to be within the laboratory and they couldn't afford to be caught up anywhere.

A soft knock on his door grew the youngest Uchiha's attention and before he could say anything the door opened and revealed the White Fang himself. Sasuke smirked under his mask as he looked the legend up and down. They looked the same except that the man that stood before him was wearing a white wolf mask where he, Sasuke, wore a white hawk mask.

"I never thought that I would see you wear the mask again Kakashi."

Kakashi shrugged as he walked more into the room. "This is the most important mission of the village. Godaime asked me to come out of retirement to aid. Naruto's return has been the top priority of Konoha since the day he was taken from us."

Sasuke grimaced and for the first time was thankful that his face was covered over with a mask. He only every let his 'Uchiha Mask' slip when the day that Naruto was taken was brought up in conversations. He was there and there was not a damn thing he could have done to help the boy. The worst part was that Sasuke had told the blonde that he would protect him minutes before he had been kidnapped.

"What are the teams?" Sasuke crossed his arms as he leaned against the dresser in his room.

"You and I are one team. Jiraiya-sama said that since there with been three Uchiha on this mission it would a beneficial that each Uchiha was within one of the two man cells that will be going in."

Sasuke cocked an eyebrow, though only he knew that he was giving his old sensei a quizzical look, as he pushed himself off the dresser, "How many teams are going anyway?"

Kakashi's soft laughter could be heard slightly through his mask as he turned and headed once more for the door. "Godaime had to pretty much beat the other AMBU members off with a stick because so many of them wanted to come. But there is going to be only be three two man cells. You and me. Itachi and Shikamaru. Uchiha-taicho and Neiji."

Sasuke grunted as he walked past Kakashi and out into the hall. They would be leaving in less than fifteen minutes. Once the sun rose the teams would be leaving Konoha to go and bring back the light that seemed to have vanished from the village the day the golden kitsune was taken away. This time I will not fail in protecting you!

The first sounds were of dripping water. It was always dripping water. No matter where he was or what he was doing it was always the sounds of water that he could hear first thing when he finally regained consciousness. The next thing was always pain. Electric, searing pain across his back and shoulders. Again it was always the same.

Sapphire eyes opened and slowly blinked in his surroundings. He had once again disobeyed. No matter what the snake did Naruto would never listen. However he knew that this wasn't true. For some reason the snake wanted him to be able to fight. Naruto knew that they were just trying to awaken the deity kitsune within him but it didn't stop him from learning how to fight.

The sounds of metal clinking against each other sounded in the room as Naruto shifted his weight. Once again I will most likely have two dislocated shoulders because of that bastard! How many years has it been? Was my life always like this? Naruto growled out as he tried to make his feet touch the floor. It's no wonder that my shoulders are killing him; the damn snake has me hanging here like some kind of trophy. Naruto raised his head, well as best as he could with his arms straight up in the air, and looked around. Stone walls surrounded him and the damn dripping of water was bouncing off the walls. His golden ears twitched and flicked as the bouncing sounds made him slightly dizzy.

A long golden tail flicked out behind him as he looked down and saw strange pools of deep black liquid littered the area below him. He sniffed and crinkled his nose as the scent hit him. Looks like Kabuto didn't hold back yesterday… Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of metal sliding against metal and the creek of a door. Blue eyes narrowed as the scent of the snake entered the room.

"Poor…poor Naruto-kun. How I hate to see you chained up. You should just listen to me."

Naruto growled low in his throat as the snake came towards him. "I'll die first."

The snake clucked his tongue as Naruto felt the snake run his hand down his back. Naruto bit his cheek to stop himself from yelling out in pain. He hated it when the snake touched him. He hated it when those golden eyes would glaze over in lust as he stared at him. Everything about the snake drew deep, unadulterated hatred from the golden kitsune.

"I will never let you die my cute little kitsune but it is troubling to see that your wounds are not healed…"

Naruto flinched slightly as the snake walked around him and came to stand in front of him. Golden eyes stared down at him as the snake's pale hand gripped his chin and raised his head to look up at the snake. "Maybe you should tell Kabuto not to hit so hard. He'll never have any friends with his violent tendencies."

The snake's golden eyes narrowed as he gripped the teen's chin tighter. "Maybe you should learn to listen and I wouldn't have to teach you who you belong to."

Naruto smirked as he glared at the snake, "I belong to no one!"

"You belong to me." The snake's voice was calm, deathly, silent. Naruto made to reply but all that came out of his mouth was a rasping, gurgled gasp of pain. A familiar sapphire light illuminated the room as Naruto felt his chakra leaving him rapidly. Naruto's vision blurred slightly but he still managed to glare at the freak in front of him. "You will always belong to me Naruto-kun. I own you!"

Naruto panted as a hot, painful weight tightened around his neck. He knew what it was and knew that there was nothing that he could do about it. Longer than he could remember he wore the fucking thing. When he awoke all those years ago it was around his neck. Every time he did anything that displeased the snake he would find himself weak and in pain. The golden kitsune learned to deal with it but, unfortunately, the collar was a sound piece of evidence that he did, in fact, belong to the snake before him.

I will one day be free. I will one day take great joy in returning the torture to the snake. Naruto's right eye closed as he tried to remain conscious as his chakra left him in waves. The injuries to his back intensified as his shoulders screamed in pain while his body slowly became limp.

"Who do you belong to Naruto-kun?"

Naruto gritted his teeth as the snake leaned in closer so that the hot breath of the man waved across his marked cheeks. I will not answer. He can beat me till I'm an inch from death but I will never never say that I belong to him. I will get free. I will be free.

"Fourteen years is a long time to still think that you can be free Naruto-kun. No one is coming for you. You have no one. If there were people that loved you they would have come for you already…wouldn't they have?"

Naruto's eye snapped open as he glared at the man before him. He honestly couldn't remember a time that pain wasn't a part of his life. But he hadn't always been in this hell hole. He had to have been living somewhere else. Somewhere where people actually loved and cared for him. He may have long since forgotten them but it had to be true. The minute he started believing the words coming out of the snake's mouth was the day he truly would belong to the golden eyed bastard.

"Go..to…hell!"

The snake laughed as he released the blonde and walked away from and out of sight. The pressure around his neck lessened and Naruto could slowly feel his body starting to try and rebuild the chakra that was forced from his body. "Naruto-kun I think it would be wise for you to heal. You have training in under an hour."

With those as his parting words the snake closed the door to Naruto's cell. The sounds of the dripping water and the echoing footsteps rang through his head as he held his breath. Shortly, but what felt like an eternity to Naruto, the sounds of foot falls were removed with the gentle and steady drip of the water. Naruto gasped, coughed, and shuttered in his binds as dizziness and nausea swept through his body. I will be free! But first things first…

Naruto gave himself a few more moments to calm his body and focus his mind. Naruto let out a long deep breath as he centered his mind and fell into perfect relaxation. Though he hated this place, all the training that the snake made him go through was actually beneficial to him. It allowed him to calm and center himself for the task at hand.

Ten years ago Naruto finally learned why he was in the snake's hands. He was born different. He was not a human, not by a long shot. He was born a kitsune. A golden kitsune. But he was still born different. The snake told him of the legend of the great guardian deity known as Kyuubi. The great kitsune was a power far greater than anything in the known world. The Kyuubi gave its life to protect and create a village called Konoha.

The people of Konoha were so grateful that they called forth the five greatest jutsu users in the land to create a shine for the Kyuubi. Kyuubi, in turn, was so deeply honored that the deity vowed that he would one day walk amongst the people. That he would one day chose a soul worthy of being his vessel and the Kyuubi would follow its 'Master' for all the vessel's days. The people cheered and prayed to the deity for his safe return and before the Kyuubi was completely sealed within its shine it told the people of Konoha that during his coming the shine would crack and crumble to dust while the vessel that he chose would bear whisper marked cheeks as well as a seal on his stomach.

For thousands of years the people waited for the return of the great deity. Almost nineteen years ago the shine cracked and crumbled and Naruto came into being. However it wasn't until ten years ago that Naruto finally understood what the snake had been saying. Ten years ago he heard the voice of a being. The voice was one that he alone could hear. One that had be guiding him, holding him, helping him, and over all being the only friend that Naruto had ever known.

Naruto's eyes opened as they shone with a shimmering, glistening sapphire brilliance. He only ever called forth this power in times of great need. Since the collar was controlled by the snake Naruto never knew when his chakra was going to fail him and when the snake decided to cut off Naruto's chakra the golden eyes of the snake would glaze over and he would look at Naruto with nothing but lust within the cold gold of his eyes. During those times he would call until the power within him. His friend would answer and he would protect Naruto when the golden kitsune could not do so for himself.

Kyuubi.

Yes, Master.

The snake as once again taken away almost all of my chakra. I can't even feel my back or shoulders anymore. I need you.

Always Master. I will always answer your call. But there is something else.

Naruto's eyebrow rose slightly as he stared unfocused at the wall before him. Something else?

I can sense people coming towards us. They are trying to hide their chakra but I can smell it still. I don't believe that the snake will be able to sense them. I think they are coming for you.

Me?! Not more sick bastards! When? Where are they? For the plan to work I can't be fighting with others that could try and take me away! The sounds of grinding teeth echoed strangely in the cell as Naruto's jaw snapped shut.

I don't believe that they mean you any harm Master. They feel…

Feel? Feel what Kyuubi?!

They feel familiar. I can't explain it Master. I was still 'sleeping' when you were little. But I think these people are from your past.

Naruto scoffed slightly. I have no one from my past. We will go on with the plan. Today it will work. Today we are going to be training and that means that I will most likely to allowed my free rein on my chakra. You will await an opening.

Yes, Master.

Now please, Kyuubi, heal me. I am getting dizzy from the pain. We don't have to worry about the snake coming back to try and touch me.

Relax Master. I will take your pain away.

Sasuke and Kakashi ran down what felt like the hundredth hallway since they entered the ground laboratory. The halls were an off orange with strange circular designs and every few feet there was an old oak door with darkened metal knobs. Sasuke and Kakashi had started to check every door when they first entered but soon they both wised up and activated their Sharigan. This allowed them to 'see' anything in front of them and also allowed them to 'see' within the rooms for anything that was close to chakra.

The others had long since cut radio contact. They didn't know kind of jutsu adored the laboratory and didn't want to give themselves away. However Sasuke was starting to think that this was once again a wild goose chase. There didn't seem to be anyone in this strange underground labyrinth. He was getting more and more agitated as time went on.

Sasuke rounded another and was greeted with the same damn hall, designs, and doors leading to no one. Where the hell are you Naruto?! This is getting stupid! Jiraiya is an insane old Sannin! How could Naruto possibly be here when the fucking place seems like it was abandoned years ago!?

~"Come on Hawk we need to keep moving."~

Sasuke grunted at his partner as they took off down the hall. Sasuke's eyes narrowed slightly as he felt something prickling the back of his neck. Something was coming or something was brewing within the laboratory. It caused Sasuke to breathe a little deeper, a little quicker as he looked at all the doors with a lot more interest.

~"White Fang do you feel that?"~

Sasuke glanced to his partner as the masked man beside him nodded slowly, ~"I don't know what that is but it is growing stronger the further down this hall we run."~

~"Hawk, White Fang you feel that too?"~

Sasuke's eyes narrowed even more as his older brother's voice came over the radio. For his brother to break radio silence met that it was truly something big. But what it was was the question on everyone's mind. It was growing in strength, in power. It was in the direction that they were all running. ~"Yes Illusion we feel it as well. What direction are you running?"~

An amused chuckle came over the radio before his brother's voice once again sounded, ~"I have no idea what direction we are running but I do believe that we are heading to the 'center' of this labyrinth."~

Kakashi's chuckle came from beside Sasuke as the very air that they breathed seemed to fill with energy. Such power! Such raw infinite power! What could Orochimaru be doing in this laboratory that is causing such a dense and overwhelming surge of energy?!

Sasuke was thrown from his thoughts as the ground gave an almighty shake. Dust fell from the ceiling along with chunks and pieces of stone as Sasuke stumbled to a stop. Slowly he looked to his left as Kakashi shrugged his shoulders. Sasuke was about to call over the radio as the earth once again shook the very foundation of the underground.

Sasuke grunted as he skipped over to wall as he tried to keep his balance. Wave upon wave of energy blasted down the corridor almost knocking the wind from the two AMBU that were gripping the walls as a life line to keep themselves upright.

~"Head in the direction of the energy! Taicho and I are nearing a gaping hole that suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor."~

Sasuke glanced over at Kakashi who nodded. Hyuuga sounded surprised. That guy could put an Uchiha to shame with his own stoic emotions and expressions and yet he sounded surprised… Kakashi shot out ahead of Sasuke as the teen shook his head and followed closely behind. The feeling of the energy weighed upon his chest almost causing Sasuke to stop and try and catch his breath but he knew, he just knew, that once they reacted this 'gaping hole' that he would once again see the dobe, he would once again see Naruto.

Sasuke's steps faltered slightly as he rounded another corner after Kakashi. He eyes squinted as light flooded the corridor. Daylight?! Kakashi gripped Sasuke's upper arm as he pulled Sasuke forward and once again into a run. The light that flooded the corridor only grew in strength as they hurried towards it. The energy it's changing…What is it?!

Sasuke's eyes watered slightly at the brightness of the light that he ran towards. With a burst of energy he passed Kakashi and entered the light. Sasuke's mouth fell open as he gazed at the crater that was once a part of the laboratory. Chunks of stone littered the area that was now opened to the skies above. Dust still billowed around the area as Sasuke took a few tentative steps into the area.

"Magnificent! You truly are beautiful my Naruto-kun!"

Sasuke froze as his blood ran cold. He knew that voice. That voice haunted, taunted his dreams for the past fourteen years. The hiss of a voice echoed around the area as Sasuke clenched and unclenched his fists. Once the recognition of the voice washed over him the actually words of the snake entered his brain. Naruto-kun…Naruto-kun…NARUTO!

Sasuke made to jump forward but Kakashi quickly grabbed his shoulder and led him into the area, making sure that they stuck to the jutted pieces of stone as they continued towards the energy and the hiss of a voice that had sounded.

As they neared a stone near the center of the crater Sasuke couldn't keep the growl from his voice. Before him, with his back to them, stood a tall lanky man with long black hair. Standing beside the man was another man who, though appeared young, had grey hair like Kakashi's that was tied into a ponytail at the nap of his neck. The two were staring ahead of them and, to Sasuke, what looked like a pillar of billowing dust.

"I knew you would show yourself to me Naruto-kun! Finally! Fourteen years and you have finally appeared before me!"

Sasuke inched closer to the two as he watched the billowing dust. The energy that he had felt before was coming from within the clouds of dust. It was morphing, twisting, refining itself upon itself as the dust slowly blew away in the light breeze. Sasuke glanced at Kakashi who nodded and headed in the opposite direction as him.

"This ends now snake."

Sasuke gasped as his heart beat sky rocketed. He hadn't heard that voice in fourteen years. It was deeper, stronger, but it still held the same light waves of youth. Sasuke took a few deep breathes. If he ran out there now he knew that he could mess everything up. No. He would wait. He would not do anything that could stop him from getting his friend back.

"No Naruto-kun it will not end. You belong to me. I awoke who you really are. I trained you. I molded you. You are mine!"

Sasuke's teeth clinked as his jaw snapped shut. That fucking snake is going to die! He will die the most painful death I can create for him for ever taking what was not his! Sasuke turned his death glare away from the back of the black haired man to look once again upon the dust. Slowly the wind whipped, flicked as it blew the dust away. The first thing that Sasuke could make out was the fact that there was a huge clunk of stone within the cloud of dust.

Wisp by wisp the dust tendriled away from the stone as a figure slowly started to appear. More and more of the figure appear as Sasuke felt his heart trying to escape his chest. The first thing he noticed was black covered legs and black combat sandals. More dust filtered away and soon his could see a long golden white tipped tail flicking back and forth behind the black clad legs. Sasuke sucked in a breath as his eyes traveled up the figure of the person he longed to see.

A haori was the next thing that met his eyes as well as a lot of tan chest peeking through the large opening of the haori. Long sleeves covered arms and around the neck of the lost boy was a strange looking black and sapphire thick band. It reminded Sasuke of a collar and that thought alone angered Sasuke beyond words. No way is to ever ever collar a kitsune or neko! They are free beings of the earth!

Sasuke's eyes widened as the face of the golden kitsune was finally revealed to him. Spikes of golden hair haloed the angled and matured face of Naruto. Two golden white tipped ears flicked atop his head. The wind whipped and Sasuke's eyes widened even more as a long ponytail of golden blonde hair stirred out from behind him. He looked so different and yet Sasuke could see all the similarities to the boy that he remembered from so long ago.

Sasuke's eyes traced the boy turned man's face and noticed that the whisker marks on his cheeks stood out far more now and that his eyes were closed. But what was most amazing was the energy that the teen was giving off. The source of the energy that they had been feeling was coming from Naruto. Sasuke gasped as Naruto's eyes opened and stared down at the black haired man before him. Shimmering, glowing sapphire eyes stared down at the snake with infinite energy and a wisdom that transcended time.

"I do not and will never belong to you snake. I am who I am because of a resolution I made when I lost everything that was dear to me. I am never going to forgive you for what you have done. This is the end!"

Sasuke grabbed onto the stone in front of him as Naruto raised his arms causing the earth to shake once again. Tendrils of energy floated off the boy as he turned his head towards the heavens. The snake hissed out something but the sudden wind blocked all sound. Sasuke held on more to the stone as the energy being released from Naruto pressed down upon him.

"Orochimaru-sama we need to leave now!"

Sasuke's left eye closed as he fell to his knees. Such power! I need…I need to get out of here…but I can't! Not without Naruto. Never again will I leave him! But this energy… Sasuke gagged for air as he looked at the golden kitsune. A serene look adored his face as his arms rose more into the air. Crackling, splintering streaks of energy crashed forth from his arms as the once clear sky started to fill in with rolling, rumbling black clouds.

"Naruto-kun is mine! I will have him!"

"Orochimaru-sama…we can't…stay here…you know…this…"

Sasuke stumbled forward on his knees as the grey haired man grasped the snake by the arm as the two of them started to sink into the ground. Orochimaru hissed and yelled something at the boy but the thundering clouds and sparking energy drank in his words. Sasuke looked from the vanishing pair back to Naruto as the teen's mouth moved as if he too was saying something.

State who you are and why I should let you live!

Sasuke yelled out in pain as a powerful voice sounded in his head. What the hell was that?! Naruto?! Was that Naruto?

How do you know my name! Answer me!

Sasuke grasped his head as he doubled over in pain. The voice was so strong. It echoed throughout his entire mind. It was as if Naruto was going to be able to destroy him with just the power of his voice. I'm here to get you out of here.

Get me out of here? What nonsense is this? For fourteen years I have been make to live by the snake's law and yet no one came and now when I have achieved my own freedom you say you have come for me!

Sasuke tasted blood within his mouth and it took his fogged mind a few seconds to realize that he was biting his lip to stop from yelling out in pain. I have been looking for you for fourteen years! I never gave up on finding you Naruto! Please let me help you! I can take you home!

Home… The pressure and presence in his mind slowly receded and Sasuke slowly raised his head to look towards Naruto. The clouds had stopped rolling in, Orochimaru and the grey haired man were gone, and Naruto was staring at him intently. Home…?

Sasuke staggered to his feet and stumbled towards the golden kitsune as Naruto slowly lowered his arms. The energy surrounding the boy lessened and slowly drew itself once more with the boy. Sasuke stopped in front of the kitsune as Naruto's glimmering sapphire eyes looked down at him. Yes home. I have been trying to find you to bring you home. To bring you back to us.

Naruto's head cocked slightly to the side as he looked down at the raven. Us? Home? I have no home.

Sasuke slowly reached up and untied the string that held his mask on. The mask slipped from his face and fell to the uneven and broken earth with a slight clinking noise. Sasuke's onyx eyes stared unblinkingly into azure pools of great power. You do have a home Naruto. You're home is Konoha. You're home is with us. With me. Don't you know who I am? I have grown up like you but I am still the same person from fourteen years ago…

Naruto's eyes slowly closed as the energy dimmed faster and faster. The kitsune swayed slightly as he stumbled upon the stone pestle. Konoha… Home is Konoha? What is your name?

Sasuke smiled softly at the staggered teen. His onyx eyes watching Naruto closer in case he suddenly pitched. My name is Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke.

A single tear escaped his closed eyes as he pitched forward. I don't know anyone by that name. Sasuke shot up and caught the boy as he fell limp in his arms. He..he doesn't remember me?!
