Naruto pov: I woke up in a soft bed my blood soaked clothes were tossed aside and my body was wrapped in bandages. Iruka-sensei walked into the room trailed by the boy who found me in the alley. "Hey Naruto how are you feeling," Iruka sensei asked taking a seat next to me. "I'm okay," I said. The boy took a step forward. "Hi my name is Sasuke Uchiha." I was unsure whether or not to talk to him. "Thank you for saving me," I said shrugging. Sasuke nodded leaving me to rest. "Listen just focus on recovering I managed to get you a new apartment on the outskirts of the village there aren't that many people living there and Sasuke lives next door," Iruka-sensei started. "Why am I living so close to him," I asked feeling my voice rising. "I asked him to keep an eye on you to ensure your safety." I started to say something but Iruka-sensei stopped me. "I'm worried about you Naruto you've been getting attacked more frequently and this has become a problem with Sasuke living nearby I know that you will be a little safer." I wanted to protest however I didn't want Iruka sensei to know that I didn't really trust anyone anymore not even him who had taken me in and exactly loved and cared for me. He was pretty much my dad. I was heavily opposed to living near Sasuke but not wanting to worry Iruka-sensei anymore I agreed to accept Sasuke's help.
