Drabble number five!

Sasuke stood over his best friend with an exasperated not-quite-grin on his face. How like the usuratonkachi.

He had been wandering around the village looking for Naruto so they could spar, but couldn't find him. He had checked all of Naruto's usual hangouts and even asked other people if they had seen him, but no one had. He hadn't even been to Ichiraku's since the night before.

Sasuke decided he would train by himself in the woods and continue his search later. While heading through the woods, he came across a grassy clearing.

Near the center was Naruto.

He was lying on his back with his arms and legs outstretched, snoring gently. A butterfly flew just above his face.

"So this is where you've been... No wonder nobody has seen you today," he said quietly. "Careless usuratonkachi, what if an enemy ninja found you first?" Sasuke sat down next to him and got comfortable. He would be here for a while.

"You can be careless this time usuratonkachi. I'll protect you." he said to the air.

In his sleep, Naruto smiled.
