SASUSAKU: TROUBLED TIMES

Naruto

First of all, I wanted to congratulate you on your upcoming union with the young woman from the Haruno clan, I have been told that she is a very beautiful young woman, I hope you treat her well, bastard. She is surely a very sweet girl. Hinata-chan is a childhood friend of hers and she has told me that she is a very intelligent and pretty young woman, I know you two will make a very good couple, that is what you need, someone to focus you a little.

On the other hand, as you already know Hinata-chan and I have had to exile ourselves far from Konoha, my life, above all, is in danger. And now, the last thing I need is one of your sermons, so please save it for yourself.

Some of my informants have told me that weeks ago some troops from the Hyuga clan went out looking for us. My father is still in negotiations with Emperor Neji, but the Hyuga clan remains firm against his intentions.

I am especially concerned about Hinata-chan's current state. For several weeks now we have known that she is pregnant, and she can barely walk long distances, so we travel very slowly, and some of the the paths we are taking are very dangerous. The other day we ran into a gang of thugs, luckily I was able to get rid of them, but when Hinata-chan is bigger it will be impossible to travel and her condition will be more delicate, so we must find a safe haven for the three of us.

Old friend, I am well aware of the matters you currently have at hand, and disturbing your peace is the last thing I would like to do. But it is a cry of desperation. I need you to send one of your troops before they reach us, it is possible that in a few months they will be able to know our whereabouts.

I am more than aware that what I am asking of you is to involve your clan in a foreign matter and it could meke to lose certain privileges to the Hyuga clan. If it weren't for the fact that I truly fear for our lives, I wouldn't be asking you this.

Sincerely,

Naruto.

You are well aware of my opinion about your union, it is not that I have anything against the young Hyuga but it has not been very intelligent on either side to have made said union. So I'm not going to dwell on the matter any further.

On the other hand, thank you for your congratulations, even though I am not particularly enthusiastic about this marriage, because I don't think it will benefit the Uchiha clan. At least, it will not bring misfortunes like yours. So, thanks old friend.

Likewise, congratulations to both of you for the little human being that you are going to bring into the world in these current times. I hope, with all my heart, that the little kid know peace. I wish you all the best.

I haven't met the young Haruno yet, but I don't have much interest in it either. Likewise, in a few weeks the Haruno family will visit the Uchiha compound to formalize our engagement.

As for what you are asking of me, old friend, I have consulted with my brother. He has given me permission for one of his troops to leave as soon as possible. Don't worry about the matter at hand, when the ceremony takes place I will go out with my men to provide reinforcements. The last thing I would like is for one of my old friends to lose his head because of a stupid impulsive decision due to think first between the two legs.

Sincerely,

Sasuke.

I knew I could count on you and your brother, despite what the other clans say, I know in good faith that the Uchiha clan is the most loyal of all, how lucky to have you as a friend.
