Third POV

Three weeks later, in the Land of Waves, Team 7 is ready to go home. The mission turned out to be a A-rank instead of C-rank. Apparently a midget named, Gato, hired some powerful shinobi to assassinate Tazuna. The team fought a a rogue named Zabuza and his partner Haku. The first battle they had, Zabuza barely made it out alive. The students worked well together to make power combos. Add to the fact that Kakashi was there, made things worse.

Those two had to take a week and a half to heal before coming back. During that time, the team had enough time to talk and train. They liked Tazuna's daugther, Tsunami. She was very nice and to Sasuke, she almost looked like his mother. The person they didn't like was the GrandSon, Inari. He was a weak gaki who would try to downgrade the team.

All three of the students had to be held back by Kakashi because of the words that came out of the gaki's mouth. Though after Naruto had enough, and exploded during dinner one night, then the boy started rethinking. Inari started acting differently. He became less bratty and started hanging around Naruto a lot. Making Sasuke jealous unknowingly to the others except Kakashi.

However the boys did get to spend some time together one night. Which strengthen their feelings for each other.
•FlashBack•

It was during the time, where Naruto exploded on Inari. The boy ran off crying and to clear his head, Naruto decided to leave as well. For a while, he punched the trees. Bruising his knuckles until the flesh started to peel and bleed. Huffing and puffing, he sat down near the base of the tree. Looking down in sadness while his hands where in front of his face. Just watching the blood flow and hit the ground.

That's the scene Sasuke walked in on when he followed the blonde. A strangled sound of a gasp came from the duck-ass haired boy as he rushed over to Naruto. "Dope what the hell!?" It's a good thing he carried bandages in his pouch for there was a lot of blood. Wrapping up his hands, Sasuke looks to Naruto's face to see him with a frown. "What the hell were you thinking?" Naruto shrugs uncaring.

"I just got frustrated with the kid. Saying that we don't know what it means to be miserable..."

"That doesn't mean you should go around punching things until your fist are nearly nonexistent."

"Sorry..."

Sasuke sighs and sits next to the blonde. For a while it was silent until Naruto decided to open his mouth. "Why don't you apologize to LuLu?" Sasuke flinches slightly.

"I don't think I should..."

"Why not?"

"I-..I don't believe I deserve her forgiveness..."

Naruto stares at the boy next to him. Drilling holes into his head and Sasuke shifts a little in discomfort. Raising his hand, the blonde slaps the back of the other boy's head hard. "Ow! What the hell was that for?" Naruto glares slightly before slapping him in the head again. "Dope cut it out!"

"You really are a baka." Sasuke looks at him in confusion while rubbing his head. Naruto sighs and shakes his head.

"You should just apologize. By not doing so will cause more problems."

"But-"

"No but's Sasuke! LuLu is getting more pissed off by you not going to her apologizing. When we go back home, the first thing you're doing is saying 'sorry' to her."

The duck-ass haired boy nodded sadly. He knew he should've done so long ago. However the fear of his other sibling hating him and leaving got him to keep quiet. He just found out that the things he though he knew was a lie and that he had another sibling. To be honest, all that information as finally settled in and he's feeling lost. His older brother killed everyone for the village and for his safety. His younger sister was alone and was out there training, could've possibly been killed and he wouldn't have know the truth. He would've still been blinded by hatred and maybe one day kill his innocent older brother. It's a lot to take in.

Naruto just watches Sasuke stare off with a sad expression. He could tell that everything was getting to him. Granted he doesn't know how he's feeling with all the family drama since he doesn't have any himself but he does want to help. So Naruto pulls Sasuke close and hugs him. Said boy had his eyes wide open in shock while also mentally fanboying.

Naruto was worried he went too far since Sasuke was unresponsive. He was about to let go when Sasuke suddenly hugged back but tightly. They stayed that way for a few seconds until the Uchiha let go. "Thanks..."

"No problem teme!"

Again they sat in silence. Slowly Naruto began to fall asleep. However before he could, Sasuke asked a question. Something that has been on his mind for awhile. "So.....are you and Luxic in a relationship?" The blonde burst out laughing, holding his stomach from the question. "What?"

"Y-y-you think me and L-luLu are together? That's so hilarious!!"

"How?"

"Teme, if you're worried about whether me and your sister is together then you have nothing to worry about. We don't see each other that way. We have a sister/brother bond."

"That's good.... now i can sleep at night."

Naruto laughs again with Sasuke smirking slightly. Things become quiet for a while. Suddenly Sasuke felt pressure on his shoulder so when he turned his head, he saw Naruto fast asleep. The boy admires the blonde's features. The way his hair flew slightly in the gentle breeze of the night. The way his chest rises and falls. Sasuke blushes and brings Naruto close. Laying his head on top of the blonde's, he too fell asleep. That was the scene Kakashi ran into when looking for the two boys.
•End•

Since that night, the two boys seemed to have grown closer. They talk more and Sasuke would subconsciously stay close to to the blonde. Kakashi would sometimes tease the two whenever he would get the chance, which would cause the boys to blush.

Now the team is on the bridge saying goodbye. Naruto and Inari were face to face with the younger boy teary eyed.

"Thanks to you the bridge was completed but now you guys must go. We'll miss you all." Tazuna said.

"We'll come back to visit Tazuna, dattebato!"

"For sure?" Inari said while trying to hold back tears. "Inari....you're gonna miss me aren't you? It's alright to cry." Naruto said while also trying to hold back the tears.

"I'm not gonna cry! It's alright if you cry Naruto!"

Unable to take it anymore Naruto turns around while crying anime tears. When the blonde's back was turned, Inari cried those tears too. The rest of the team sweat-drop at the scene.

Soon they set out. Naruto shouting about 'deserving ramen after a long mission' and having Kakashi paying. Said man was crying anime tears for he knows that soon his wallet will be no more. Sakura was hitting Naruto upside the head but was smiling. Sasuke was in the back of the group chuckling here and there but otherwise happy.
