The next couple of weeks were offsetting at best. The Uchiha kept appearing in places he shouldn't be. Simple jobs like blowing up somebody's car as a threat turned into a game of hide and explosives.

I got a new mask, and I never let him be within fifteen meters from me. But still, somebody was leaking my whereabouts and that made my life a hell of a lot harder.

Today, I was tasked with blowing up a warehouse that belonged to the Hearts. So far, there was no sign  of him.

I sent the radio transmission and remembered my favourite part of this job. The way that the windows blew outwards and the walls collapsed in a fiery bang, I had no choice but to be proud of of my work.

"Mind if I join you?" Came a voice from behind me.
I turned around and low and behold there stood my stalker.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!" I yelled, releasing the safety and raising my gun to him.

"We both know your aim is terrible. You couldn't hit me if you tried." He stated, keeping his calm demeanour.

"You really need something to do in your spare time,un." I said, taking a couple steps back, closer to my parked car.

"Maybe that is the case, but at least I've learned some things about you. Like the fact that you're protecting somebody. You always take long and unnecessarily complicated routes to and from jobs. It was obvious" He said, as I felt something deep within my gut wrench.

'Did this bastard seriously just threaten the only family I have left?' I thought, as anger burnt hot through my veins.

I charged towards him and shot three times, he dodged the first two bullets but the third grazed his upper left leg.

I saw his eyes widen, realizing that he'd been shot.

He put a hand to his wound, wincing a little.

"You didn't let me finish. I never said that I wo-"
"Shut up. You've said enough." I interrupted and stormed off towards my car.

The ride home gave me time to process. I decided that I was going to take some time off work and spend more time with Naruto. So what? I've put his life in jeopardy a shit ton of times too many, would it hurt to spend to spend some more time with him?

I entered the house to discover that Naruto Invited most of his friends over. He is friends with literally everyone. But there was one kid that I didn't recognize.

He had dark hair, and his eyes... It felt like I had seen ones like them before.

Naruto noticed my gaze. "That's Sasuke. I didn't invite him because he's a bastard. Ino and Sakura just brought him along because they think he's hot." He said, looking unamused at our new houseguest.

"A bastard? That reminds me of somebody from work." I chuckled, and walked over to see what was happening in the living room.

"NEJI!!! I CHALLENGE YOU TO ANOTHER MARIO CART BATTLE!!!!" Yelled Lee, who I'm fairly certain has a couple loose screws.

"Hn." Was the only response given.

I walked back over to Naruto was standing in the kitchen near Sakura and that Sasuke kid.

"I'm gonna go pick up pizza. Make sure that your crackhead friends don't break anything." I said gesturing to the living room.

"Yeah sure." He said rolling his eyes.

The night was fairly calm, and Naruto's friends actually cleaned up after themselves before they left.

An: Happy holidays my dudes.
