2. Beginnings

As the raven hair walked long the paths of Konoha, he heard a familiar voice call out his name: "Sasuke! Sasuke!"

The young Uchiha turned, seeing a blonde boy his age run to him.

The blondie, panting, then looked up at Sasuke and grinned "How about we train together then have lunch!"

The raven stared at the blondie in surprise "Y-You want to hang out together?..."

The blondie nodded.

The Uchiha felt a tint of blush come to his cheeks. He then held his head down.

"What is it? Are you busy?" The blondie asked.

Sasuke quickly glanced up at the blonde "No, no! I have nothing to do! Sure we can train together, Naruto"

The blonde smiled happily. "Yay! I get to train with Sasuke!"

Sasuke watched amusingly as the young Uzumaki jumped up and down in glee. Unlike Sasuke, Naruto was more energetic and exciting.

It was a month after Sasuke's clan was assassinated by his own brother. And the only person to actually make Sasuke feel better was Naruto himself.

Naruto had then began to head to the training place, with Sasuke at his heels, for the Uzumaki had went father ahead.

Naruto, smiling in happiness then abruptly stopped and turned, to see the Uchiha way behind him.

The blonde quickly ran to Sasuke and grabbed his hand.

Naruto had then ran, with Sasuke's hand in his.

The Uchiha blushed slightly in embarrassment, holding the young Uzumaki's hand.

They then both headed to the training place, running and holding hands.

As Sasuke held the Kunai knives and aimed them, Naruto watched hesitantly. Sasuke then threw them and they all landed perfectly on the target.

Naruto watched in awe. "So cool! "He chirped.

Sasuke smiled, proud with himself.

Naruto then held out Kunai knives and flinged them, and completely missed the target.

The blondie sighed and the Uchiha snickered. "I think you might need some help with that..."

The Uzumaki glared at him "Ya' THINK?"

The raven hair shrugged and gave him a Kunai knife.

"Alright, aim here" Sasuke said, adjusting Naruto's stance.

The raven then grabbed Naruto's hand, helping with Naruto's aim.

The blonde slightly blushed, but kept steady.

"Alright...Now throw them!" Sasuke ordered.

Naruto did as he was told and the Kunai landed perfectly.

"YES! I DID IT 'TTEBAYO!" The blonde cheered triumphantly.

"Don't get too cocky, Naruto. I helped you with it" Sasuke sighed.

The Uzumaki smiled and hugged Sasuke.

"Thank you for helping me with my training!" Naruto said happily.

Sasuke felt a wave of hotness spread throughout his body. He then pushed away Naruto.

Naruto fell backwards and landed on his bottom. "Ow! What did you do that for?-" The Uzumaki was cut off when he saw Sasuke's face was red a cherry.

Naruto, completely confused cocked his head in confusion.

The Uchiha then glanced at him and bowed apologetically "Sorry! I didn't mean to push you! You just-" Sasuke then stopped his sentence. Just what? Got so close to me I could feel you breathing? The raven thought.

"You just hugged me out of surprise..." Sasuke finished.

The Uzumaki sighed and stood up. He held his head down "It's ok...I'm used to it. People do it to me all the time"

Sasuke stared at the sad Uzumaki in shock "You mean...All the time?..."

Naruto nodded sadly "Yeah..."

Sasuke, feeling sorry for him, hugged Naruto.

Naruto smiled and then said "How about we get some ramen to eat?"

Sasuke let go of the blonde "Sure! I'm starving!"
