Oochimaru has become a little sluggish on finding any decent head-quarters lately and frankly, Sasuke has become tired of it. "Come now Sasuke we must leave." Oorchimaru licked his lips with his snake like tongue, as he stared at Sasuke with his reptilian eyes. Ooochimaru the snake-ninja hybrid, if ever one existed. Sasuke followed without saying anything of how much a failure Oorchimaru is at this whole "hiding" business. Oorchimaru led Sasuke deeper down the hall instantly killing every ninja that came. Sasuke imagined that Kabuto would be behind him covering him from behind, but he was not there in his usual spot. Sasuke could usually handle any attack from behind, but then again he hasn't slept since 2 days ago and he's been in immense training since his last nap. "Hurry, Sasu." Sasuke hated his little pet name, it made him think that he was Oorchimaru's puppet, almost like Kabuto, but no, Sasuke new he was stronger than him. "Sasuke." He snapped back.▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ⓕᴅⓛιⓨᴇ▄ⓦⓘⓣⓗ▄ⓜⓔ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ↗ ☁ｔｈｅｒａｉｎ...ｉｔｓｔｏｐｐｅｄ☂ Ｂｅｎｅａｔｈ ⓣ ⓗ ⓔ ｄｅｅｐ ⓑ ⓛ ⓤ ⓔ ｓｋｙ , ⓐ ⓝ ⓨ ⓣ ⓗ ⓘ ⓝ ⓖ ｉｓ ⓟ ⓞ ⓢ ⓢ ⓘ ⓑ ⓛ ⓔ.

 ⊰₦aruto Ʉzamaki⊱ ☸I am what I am.☸
I am who I make myself.
Though I have my beastly side...
☸I possess a heart of pure gold.☸ .† . † . † . † . † . ₦aruto's heart pumped with excitement, the rapid beat loud in his ears. They had found Oorochimaru's hide out once again, Leaf Village members pouring in to the location at large numbers. They had not spotted the Snake-ninja yet, but they knew that he was slithering about somewhere, waiting to run away like the coward he was. But he would not get away this time. Naruto would make sure of that. That sick, twisted beast of a man had taken his best friend from him. Yes, they had finally found Oorochimaru's hide out, but that was not what meant the most to Naruto. What meant the most was that they had found him; they had found Sasuke.
Naruto followed his fellow Leaf village members into the entrance of the hide-out, which was a beaten-down shack with leaning walls and a sagging roof. Naruto could smell the evil of Oorochimaru the instant his group entered the building. It was sickening, though he ignored the smell, the thought of finally rescuing Sasuke overpowering any discomfort he had. He took the lead, signaling the group to follow him down a dim hallway. The smell was growing stronger. As they made their way down the hall, a figure suddenly emerged before Naruto. It was Kabuto: Oorochimaru's right-hand-man. Naruto growled, his blue eyes flashing red.
”Move, Puppet-boy. My business is not with you.” Kabuto smiled at Naruto's command, tipping his spectacles down on his nose so that he looked at Naruto with his altered vision. Naruto tensed, preparing his body for the battle that was sure to come in moments. Kabuto would not let the group pass easily, protecting his master—even if it meant he was to die. The three behind Naruto glanced at each other, then at their leader. What would be their next move? Naruto was not quite sure. Battling Kabuto would take precious time; time in which Oorochimaru could use to his advantage. The snake-thing would disappear, taking Sasuke with him for another horrid few months. Naruto would not let his friend be overtaken by the evil of Oorochimaru any longer.
But what could he do? Battle, or not battle. That was a difficult predicament. Still, the smell of Oorochimaru was growing stronger. Perhaps the snake-man would pay them a visit? That would surely be more convenient than the group battling his henchman and trying to track the twisted man down all over again. Naruto stalled, standing tense yet still, his eyes flicking around the room in search of Oorochimaru. And, of course, in search of Sasuke.

"Never." Sasuke snapped.
"Alright then Sasu lets—"
"Master!" Kabuto exclaimed without turning away from whomever he was about to engage combat with. "Idiot. You were expecting us to make an escape through the front entrance?" Oorochimaru with his stupid sense of humor, chuckled, "And yet you call me an idiot when you followed me without noticing where we were going?" Sasuke knew it was true. He should have— "Naruto?" Sasuke whispered when he finally noticed who Kabuto was facing. "I thought I killed you..." The last time Sasuke saw Naruto was when they fought in front of the statues [[can't remember what they were called xP ]]. Sasuke truly thought that he was dead. "What a turn of events," Kabuto sneered, "Who would have thought Naruto... I didn't recognize you at first. The little pip- squeak grew, huh?" Oorchimaru flinched, had he really been scared or did some diabolical plot come to his corrupted mind, "Let's go Sasu." This time Sasuke followed without getting even more pissed that Oorchimaru called him that stupid pet name. Oorchimaru turned and left, expecting for Sasuke to follow directly behind him. What Oorchimaru didn't see was Sasuke's slight, instinctive smile thrown at his old comrade just before he followed Oorochimaru down the other hall.▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ⓕᴅⓛιⓨᴇ▄ⓦⓘⓣⓗ▄ⓜⓔ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ↗ ☁ｔｈｅｒａｉｎ...ｉｔｓｔｏｐｐｅｄ☂ Ｂｅｎｅａｔｈ ⓣ ⓗ ⓔ ｄｅｅｐ ⓑ ⓛ ⓤ ⓔ ｓｋｙ , ⓐ ⓝ ⓨ ⓣ ⓗ ⓘ ⓝ ⓖ ｉｓ ⓟ ⓞ ⓢ ⓢ ⓘ ⓑ ⓛ ⓔ.

⊰₦aruto Ʉzamaki⊱ ☸I am what I am.☸
I am who I make myself.
Though I have my beastly side...
☸I possess a heart of pure gold.☸ .† . † . † . † . † . ₦aruto smirked as Kabuto whirled around to face his master. So the snake-ninja was just as stupid as usual. Wonderful. His stupidity would be his very near downfall. Naruto stood straight, his gaze hard as it met Oorochimaru's. He despised the man. He had killed so many; the Leaf village leader, old friends, and now, what had been left of Sasuke's goodness. Naruto's eyes flashed red once more at the memory of Sasuke's and his last battle, where his friend had (as Sasuke assumed) brutally murdered him. Naruto's eyes slid from Oorochimaru's gaze to Sasuke's as the black-eyes boy spoke up. His face was full of disbelief—but only for a moment. Sasuke had always been good at masking his emotions.
”I guess you failed to do so, Sasuke. So sorry for the disappointment,” Naruto spat. His attention was brought back to Kabuto, who had just challenged Naruto's size, as well as pride. Naruto still hold to some of his younger ways, one of those being his outbursts towards those who burst his bubble. Naruto lashed out at Kabuto, his fist striking the man in the side of his face. Kabuto staggered, his eyes wide with surprise. Had he not expected Naruto to fight? Had Naruto wanted to fight? He had simply made a move recklessly, as always. He had not thought of how much his action could affect their mission.
Naruto's head snapped in the direction of the retreating Oorochimaru. Naruto's temper flared at the sight of the man's cowardice. He would really leave his only true follower here to die? Naruto could not comprehend leaving one of his friends—even his men—to perish while he sneaked off to safety. It was unfathomable, incomprehensible. Naruto's eyes changed for the third time, but they stayed their red color. He would make this snake-like, demon of a man pay for all of the evil he had brought upon the ones Naruto cared for. Even loved. Naruto's heart jumped into his throat the moment Sasuke smiled in his direction. Sasuke...he was still a friend. He was still someone worth saving.
”Oh no you don't!” Naruto yelled, his body scaling the wall so that he landed behind Kabuto. His breath came to him heavy and labored, his rage overpowering his reason. His team members followed his lead to attack, the three men launching themselves at the still-stunned Kabuto to keep him away from their leader. Naruto let out a cry of pain, rage, and determination, running at the snake-thing that had taken so much from him.
That is it, Naruto,” a demonic voice cooed in his subconscious.
It was the voice of the Fox {{Forgot how many tails...}} that possessed the other half of Naruto's body and mind.
Tear up the man who believes himself as powerful as me. As powerful as a true demon. Kill him.
Naruto set off to obey his other half, his body rigid with power.

Some how he expected Naruto to charge for Kabuto. Though, Sasuke didn't expect Naruto to charge after Oorochimaru so idiotically. "Naruto you baka. Calm down, go fight someone equal of you, why don't you go fight... Damn, I forgot the fact that you were the weakest when I left. Even that hasn't changed." Sasuke jeered. A grin slithered its way across Oorochimaru's face in the same way Oorochimaru moved down the hall, he hadn't even turned around. Was he just going to let Naruto make the first move? Or was he so unconsernced about Naruto that he didn't even see a threat in him. "Leave him be Sasuke, now is our chance to leave. Kabuto, kill them." Kabuto charged from behind Naruto in a way that even Sasuke couldn't follow.▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ⓕᴅⓛιⓨᴇ▄ⓦⓘⓣⓗ▄ⓜⓔ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ↗ ☁ｔｈｅｒａｉｎ...ｉｔｓｔｏｐｐｅｄ☂ Ｂｅｎｅａｔｈ ⓣ ⓗ ⓔ ｄｅｅｐ ⓑ ⓛ ⓤ ⓔ ｓｋｙ , ⓐ ⓝ ⓨ ⓣ ⓗ ⓘ ⓝ ⓖ ｉｓ ⓟ ⓞ ⓢ ⓢ ⓘ ⓑ ⓛ ⓔ.

⊰₦aruto Ʉzamaki⊱ ☸I am what I am.☸
I am who I make myself.
Though I have my beastly side...
☸I possess a heart of pure gold.☸ .† . † . † . † . † . ₦aruto growled, but this time it was far more inhuman. Oorochimaru slithered away, believing Naruto was no threat to him. Perhaps he was not, but the boy had grown into a man, and his strength had grown with him. If he were to face Oorochimaru now, he more than likely could leave a dent or two. But he knew very well he would fail if he tried to kill the snake-man. Oorochimaru was older, more experienced, and had his own demons on his side. Naruto would not be able to defeat him once and for all, though his very soul craved to see Oorochimaru's body scattered in pieces along the hall floor.
”Shut up, Sasuke. What do you care if I were to choose to fight that ugly creature? You tried to kill me once yourself, but you failed. I think you underestimate me. I am not the boy you thought you left to rot in the ground, Naruto said through gritted teeth. The words were meant to sting, and they did. They stung him, his heart. He remembered the fight. He remembered the coldness in Sasuke's eyes. It was painful. Naruto shook the memories from his mind. This was no time to let emotions get in his way. He had to fight with everything he was.
Naruto gasped as Oorochimaru ordered Kabuto to kill his men. No. He would not let anyone die that night. The three ninjas had underestimated Naruto, for he had a plan in the works all along. Naruto cried out to his men, who deployed a screen of smoke that filled the hall and blinded all in it's path. Naruto laughed, letting out another cry to signal to his men. They were beside him in moments, a net held between the three of them. Naruto had come to rescue Sasuke, yes, but he was well aware that his old friend would not come willingly. Naruto motioned for his men to follow his lead, then launched at Sasuke's blurred figure. He would save him.
Tackling Sasuke to the ground, Naruto shouted for his men to let the net go. Naruto managed to leap into the air to avoid the net, and the four men wrapped it around Sasuke's struggling body. Naruto whispered a silent apology before binding Sasuke's hands and feet and tying a cloth over Sasuke's eyes. He could no longer use his special eyes to attack them. Naruto shouted for the final time, and the three men and himself sprinted out the door and into the night as the smoke began to clear. Naruto watched as other Leaf village members poured into the house, presumably after Oorochimaru.
But he had accomplished what he had came to do. He had saved Sasuke. Or so he thought...
OOC: If this is too much God-modding, I can edit it. I just thought this would get us to the main plot faster. Let me know. ^ ^;;

No, they hadn't blindfolded them, it was Naruto, just Naruto. "Naruto, you baka. You haven't changed no matter how much you think you have. You're still the same." Sasuke gave up his struggle when he noticed that Oorochimaru wasn't following, he must have a plan to retrieve him later. He couldn't just leave his future body to rot in the leave village. Sasuke knew that much. Sasuke could feel the breeze blow by as they carried him closer and closer to his former home. What exactly have they accomplished by capturing him anyway? It wouldn't be like Sasuke would let them corrupt his mind any more. His mind was molded by Oorochimaru. For now he was his puppet, mold as he wish, but as soon as Sasuke gets strong enough, and in time he will, Sasuke will kill Oorochimaru and Itatchi. That was his plan after all. Then again, this was not part of the plan. No where in Sasuke's well thought out plan did it say that Sasuke was to go back to the wrenched village.[[That's entirely fine ^-^ ]] ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ⓕᴅⓛιⓨᴇ▄ⓦⓘⓣⓗ▄ⓜⓔ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ↗ ☁ｔｈｅｒａｉｎ...ｉｔｓｔｏｐｐｅｄ☂ Ｂｅｎｅａｔｈ ⓣ ⓗ ⓔ ｄｅｅｐ ⓑ ⓛ ⓤ ⓔ ｓｋｙ , ⓐ ⓝ ⓨ ⓣ ⓗ ⓘ ⓝ ⓖ ｉｓ ⓟ ⓞ ⓢ ⓢ ⓘ ⓑ ⓛ ⓔ.

⊰₦aruto Ʉzamaki⊱ ☸I am what I am.☸
I am who I make myself.
Though I have my beastly side...
☸I possess a heart of pure gold.☸ .† . † . † . † . † . ₦aruto ignored Sasuke's name calling, his eyes set towards the Leaf village. Sasuke sure was silent, still even. Naruto did not know what Sasuke could possibly have up his sleeve, but he doubted that his old friend would follow through with any formulated plan at that moment. Naruto smiled, remembering how well Sasuke had made plans when he had been apart of the team Sakura and Naruto had been placed in during their younger years. Sasuke had gotten them through some rough times, and though Naruto had been more jealous than anything back then, he idolized Sasuke for his brilliance. Naruto had had his share of good plans and such, but they had been hair-brained and random. Just like this one. Perhaps Sasuke was right: perhaps he had never changed.
The group finally came upon the Leaf village, carrying their cargo carefully as they entered the gate. There were few in the village that knew of the mission to retrieve Sasuke. Only the Leaf village soldiers and trusted officials knew of the mission. And of course Mistress Hokage knew {{SO know that is spelled wrong}}, but she had to know. It was their duty to tell her. She had been against the mission, scolding Naruto once again for his blind belief of Hope. But she had eventually given in to the boy's pleas, and look at them now. Naruto beamed. He had been right...for once.
The group was let into the village, whispers following them as a few soldiers realized the identity of the man they carried. Naruto brushed off the stares and frantic gossip. They would not dare to try and stop him and his men. They knew he was one of the Mistress' favorites, and that she trusted him highly. Naruto took the lead of the group, guiding them to the trial house. He knew that this moment had to come, but his heart began to pound, his stomach queasy. What would they decide Sasuke's fate to be now? Naruto knew death would not be the first option, but if Sasuke failed to return to normal....
Naruto shivered, brushing off his unease. The group stepped in to the house, dropping Sasuke into a chair rather gruffly. Naruto took the net off of his friend, as well as the blindfold, but refused to unbind his hands and feet. Sasuke could no longer be trusted, no matter how hard Naruto believed in Hope. The Mistress stepped into the room then, her dark-brown eyes ablaze yet stern. She was to decide Sasuke's fate, and Naruto was not so sure she would not sentence his old friend to death. However, the Mistress' gaze softened as she noticed Naruto's fear. She opened her mouth, her decision law.
”Sasuke...how lovely to see you once again. Despite my pupil's obvious care for you,” she said, her eyes quickly shifting to Naruto, who kept his sad eyes on the floor, ”I have no rational reason to allow you to still live. However...goodness Naruto would you relax?! I said however, I shall let you stay in our village. But on one condition. You are to be imprisoned, bound, and void of all freedom during your...stay. We will attempt—if we can at all—to bring your mind and heart back to the light. Though I have no faith in this happening, seeing as you tried to murder your very best friend, this is my decision. Take him to his cell.
And with that, Sasuke was taken from the room. Naruto and the Mistress were left to stand in silence, Naruto's heart still pounding with fear and dread. The Mistress sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose. She strode over to her former pupil, her eyes full of understanding. She put her hand on his shoulder, said nothing, but that was all he needed to be comforted. His nerves subsided, and he smiled at the Mistress before stepping back into the streets of the village. The night air was sweet, filling his lungs and banishing all his unease. He made his way to the prison, hoping he would still be allowed to talk to his friend before turning in for the night.

And back to the light? "What is light without darkness my dear Hokage?" Sasuke said with a twinge of sarcasm just before he was taken to his poorly mistreated cell. It was dark and damp in the cell. "Naruto still cares after I tried to kill him... What a turn of events, I was kind of hoping he'd hate me, that'd could've made my escape a little easier." Sasuke said as the people who took him here stuffed him into his cramp cell. He could have easily used his Sharingan against them and escaped, but then he kind of wanted a little nap before he continued and Oorochimaru would be a little disappointed in Sasuke for not gaining any intelligence while being here. Sasuke laid on his poor excuse for a bed and drifted off to a comfortable slumber.[[ Sorry for the writer's block and the lack of literacy in comparison to your posts ^^;; ]] ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ⓕᴅⓛιⓨᴇ▄ⓦⓘⓣⓗ▄ⓜⓔ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ↗ ☁ｔｈｅｒａｉｎ...ｉｔｓｔｏｐｐｅｄ☂ Ｂｅｎｅａｔｈ ⓣ ⓗ ⓔ ｄｅｅｐ ⓑ ⓛ ⓤ ⓔ ｓｋｙ , ⓐ ⓝ ⓨ ⓣ ⓗ ⓘ ⓝ ⓖ ｉｓ ⓟ ⓞ ⓢ ⓢ ⓘ ⓑ ⓛ ⓔ.

⊰₦aruto Ʉzamaki⊱ ☸I am what I am.☸
I am who I make myself.
Though I have my beastly side...
☸I possess a heart of pure gold.☸ .† . † . † . † . † . ₦aruto reached his destination a few moments later, surprised to see that the guards were all outside and in back of the prison, yet not inside. Perhaps they were more worried of what could possibly come after Sasuke than of the man himself. Naruto was not surprised by this, for a lot of the village feared Oorochimaru. However, almost all of the village knew nothing of Sasuke's capture and return. Naruto was glad for that. He stepped up to the head guard, asking for permission to enter the prison and visit his friend. Yet not so much in those words. He did not feel like being judged by the rest of the village for his own choices. They were his after all, and if he had faith, so be it.
The guard moved out of the way and allowed Naruto to pass. The prison was unkempt, not used much those days since there was enough peace between the villages. Sasuke had been placed in a rather dingy cell, though the few around him were much better than the one he had bee locked away in. Naruto cringed at this fact, feeling guilty where his guilt was not needed. He had not placed his friend in this cell, but he was sure that if he had gone along with those who had taken Sasuke to the prison, he could have convinced them to give Sasuke a better living area. So yes, he had guilt.
Naruto watched his friend sleep a few minutes, wondering how Sasuke could manage to still be so peaceful when he himself was distraught with new-found emotions and phantom memories. Naruto placed his hands on the cell, his head leaning against the cool bars. He closed his eyes, trying to block out the pain and regret that flooded over him. He had not been able to save Sasuke from the darkness in his blood, no matter how close they had once been. He had failed, and he had lost a good friend. What could he possibly do to help Sasuke now? Use his Hope? Hope was not all that he needed.
He needed a miracle. He hoped some divine intervention would give him strength to face his old friend. But also to face his not-old friend, for Sasuke had been changed by Oorochimaru. The snake-ninja had made Sasuke into another pawn, even if Sasuke had his imperfections. Naruto would have to be prepared to face Oorochimaru again, and to actually fight him. He knew that the man would not let them keep his special creation locked away for long.
But was Naruto ready to handle that? Could he cure Sasuke of his evil and destroy the thing bent on keeping Sasuke in the dark? It was almost too much.
”Sasuke? Sasuke can we talk a bit?” Naruto asked into the darkness.
OOC: ((Oh shut up woman. You are doing wonderful. I can still get like four to five paragraphs out. That means *BING* good posts. ^ ^))

Sasuke had no idea why he spoke to Naruto this way, he only had this attitude against Kabuto and rarely did he use it against Oorochimaru. Sasuke knew how Naruto felt down to the last painful cringe. Sasuke at times felt the same way, but was forced not to show it. It would be a weakness in Oochimaru's eyes after all, he was to be strong and silent, emotionless and nat at all feeble. Sasuke was to be the opposite of Naruto and to forget the past which haunts him. Sasuke almost lost it when he looked at Naruto, face pressed against the cold bars of his cell. Is he really the same? No, Sasuke could tell that he has become stronger. Sasuke turned away from him and faced the dim grey wall. Engraved in it, were the names of many past prisoners and curses on the Leaf Village and its citizens. Sasuke, despite his training to forget his time in the leaf, remembered being part of team 7. Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura... Sakura... "What do you want?" Sasuke asked in a bored, dull mood, when in reality, and Sasuke knew it, he was in pain. He missed everyone, but this was something he had to do, he had to defeat his brother and Oochimaru if he was ever to return to the "light" as Mistress Hokage had put it.[[ Aw, why thank you ^-^ You'rea re doing an epic job, sorry it's taking me so long to reply, I'm trying to multitask and do my homework at the same time xP]] ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ⓕᴅⓛιⓨᴇ▄ⓦⓘⓣⓗ▄ⓜⓔ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ↗ ☁ｔｈｅｒａｉｎ...ｉｔｓｔｏｐｐｅｄ☂ Ｂｅｎｅａｔｈ ⓣ ⓗ ⓔ ｄｅｅｐ ⓑ ⓛ ⓤ ⓔ ｓｋｙ , ⓐ ⓝ ⓨ ⓣ ⓗ ⓘ ⓝ ⓖ ｉｓ ⓟ ⓞ ⓢ ⓢ ⓘ ⓑ ⓛ ⓔ.

⊰₦aruto Ʉzamaki⊱ ☸I am what I am.☸
I am who I make myself.
Though I have my beastly side...
☸I possess a heart of pure gold.☸ .† . † . † . † . † . ₦aruto flinched at Sasuke's bitterness. He had been used to Sasuke's old ways, when he was always a dull, gloom-and-doom a**. But Sasuke had always hinted at friendship under his insults, his sly smiles reminding Naruto that it was all just fun. But this, this was meant to be rude, harsh, insulting. Sasuke wanted him to leave, but Naruto would not. He had to talk to his old friend, no matter what he spat in Naruto's direction. Naruto opened his mouth to speak, but was at loss for words. What did he want from Sasuke? He had come to the prison to accomplish something, though he no longer knew what that something was.
Naruto watched Sasuke's back, his eyes sad. His friend really was gone. Naruto turned his back, leaned against the cell bars, then slumped to the ground. What could he do? He was so mixed up, his emotions all array and stinging. Maybe the Hokage had been right; maybe there was no hope left for Sasuke. But what was he saying? The Mistress had never been one for faith, her past allowing for her negatively. Yet Naruto knew that he had been through great trials, and had overcome many of them. Why should he give in to defeat now? He was Naruto Uzamaki, the future Hokage and soon-to-be greatest ninja of the Leaf village. He clenched his fists at his sides, determination overcoming his doubts.
”I came to talk to my friend,” he said, his voice firm, drilling the words at Sasuke. I came to talk to you, because you are still my friend. In my mind, in my heart, you and I will always have a bond. Even Sakura...she misses you, you know? I am sure you do.” Naruto turned his gaze over his shoulder, watching Sasuke's back to see if his words had any affect on the man. There were more than just he and Sakura that missed Sasuke. Sasuke had had many friends, people who idolized him. Did he forget all the love they had for him?
OOC: Sorry I as a day late! I had homework and a family night. This is short and crappy, but at least I got it up for you!

No, of course not, Sasuke tried to kill one of his comrades for the sake of more power. To everyone he was an enemy. "If you had come to talk to a friend, you have come to the wrong cell." Sasuke left no room for empathy for Naruto, what was said was said and Sasuke meant it. He had left his friendships behind, and that was where Sasuke meant to keep it. That was how he was to get stronger. Naruto knew that. Why was he acting so nice to him anyway? According to Naruto, Sakura missed him, yet, where is she now? Eating ramen? Sasuke turned and sat up on his cot and stared hard at Naruto who was now leaning back against his cell bars. "If so many people missed me, why are you the only one here?" Sasuke asked, though he knew it too that Sakura missed him, he didn't want the guilt on his shoulders it was just better for him to believe that Sakura didn't miss him and that she hated him more than anyone else in the village besides Naruto.[[ I completely understand ^-^ ]] ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ⓕᴅⓛιⓨᴇ▄ⓦⓘⓣⓗ▄ⓜⓔ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ↗ ☁ｔｈｅｒａｉｎ...ｉｔｓｔｏｐｐｅｄ☂ Ｂｅｎｅａｔｈ ⓣ ⓗ ⓔ ｄｅｅｐ ⓑ ⓛ ⓤ ⓔ ｓｋｙ , ⓐ ⓝ ⓨ ⓣ ⓗ ⓘ ⓝ ⓖ ｉｓ ⓟ ⓞ ⓢ ⓢ ⓘ ⓑ ⓛ ⓔ.

⊰₦aruto Ʉzamaki⊱ ☸I am what I am.☸
I am who I make myself.
Though I have my beastly side...
☸I possess a heart of pure gold.☸ .† . † . † . † . † . ₦aruto thought on Sasuke's question before he answered, ”Perhaps they are scared to see what you have become. To them you were something great, almost perfect. You excelled in almost everything you did, leaving your peers in the dust and other in awe. You gave people hope. You gave people something to idolize and care for. I think that your turning...I think that it made them lose hope in goodness.” Naruto sighed, his eyes watching his restless hands as they twisted with one another. Were these the feelings of others, or just his? He knew that Sakura had been crushed by Sasuke's leaving. She had cared something extra for the man. But she was not here, and she would not be here, in this dark cell, until she found out about Sasuke's recapture. And she would not find out about his presence in the village until Naruto deemed it safe. She could not visit Sasuke now, while his words cut and his heart was black.
”And I came because...Well because...” Because why? He cared. That was why. He was the naive little optimist who had to have faith in everyone and everything. He had not changed, and he was well aware that Sasuke knew that fact. But something else pulled at him. He had come hoping that Sasuke would realize that the others did care, and that their caring would bring him back. Bring the old Sasuke back. But Naruto was only one visitor, and Sasuke had to take his word on the others feelings rather than hearing it from the people themselves. Because Naruto had requested no one out of the Hokage's trusted circle know of Sasuke. Was that right? Perhaps, for that moment, it was.
Naruto struggled for the words he wanted to say to Sasuke. He would have to somewhat lie, in order to console Sasuke's doubts as well as keep the others from seeing the evil that still ran through the man. He had willingly sought out Oorochimaru, and, to Naruto's great pain, tried to kill his own friend in order to gain something more. Naruto wondered if Sasuke's betrayal towards his friends and his village were worth whatever it was he had won. Naruto became angry, standing straight, his back still towards his friend. He wanted to say hurtful things, ask questions he needed answers to, but then was not the time. He had to be calm, collected. He had to win Sasuke back over to their side.
”I came because to me, you are my friend. You always will be. And I help my friends when they need it the most. Trust me, Sasuke, you are in need of great help.” Naruto turned back to face his friend, his face painted with a smile but his blue eyes sad. He meant every word he said, though he doubted Sasuke would show whether the words meant anything to him or not. Naruto wrapped his fingers around the bars of the cell, liking the coolness of the metal. He looked at his feet, waiting for Sasuke's (sarcastic/bitter) reply.
