[ " Golden child,
Lion boy;
Tell me what is it like to conquer.

Fearless child,
Broken boy;
Tell me what it is like to burn. ]

Sakura looked at the golden haired boy who looked as if he saw something that he should've have seen. Her mind reeled and worked and she could only say that for god's sake he shouldn't think like that because they are frickin four year olds and no normal four year olds think like that. That said, Naruto looked at them weirdly.

Realising what he was doing Sasuke got of Sakura, and for extra measures Sakura kicked him away. Tumbling away and sitting on his arse Sasuke shot a glare at the girl, she rolled her eyes at him. As if saying whatcha-gon-do-bout-it-pretty-boy?

"Saku-chan? Who is that?" Somehow Sakura half expected that he would jump out and pick a fight with the dark haired bitch who was glaring at the back of her head that she wondered if it finally set her hair on fire. But no, instead he looked at Sasuke warily. Sakura frowned, the sides of her mouth twitched, this was not the same Naruto that she knew, this was the Naruto that she saw when the war was beyond repair. When he knew the war was beyond repair.

Wary, scared little Naruto, her master once said.

"Uchiha Sasuke," Sasuke seeing that the girl in front of him was silent, and he could feel that something was not right. So he promptly introduced himself. Bumping into Sakura's shoulder when stepping up to look at the person he was introducing. Of course the bump was supposed to nudge her back to reality, but he's pretty sure that only triggered her forgotten anger from their previous bicker. But why would he care, she kicked him anyway, he would get back sooner or later.

He briefly knows about the blond haired boy, he sees the way adults treated him. He asked often asked about it to his mother. And she would always say to treat him normally. And so he would, because his brother also said the same thing. He didn't know why the adults shuns him, and he finds it hypocritical, a word that his brother had thought him once, and it was enough to describe them.

Naruto looked at the boy in front of him. He seems close to Sakura, seeing the fact that he saw them tumbling with each other. His first instinct was to stand up and protect his first friend, but when he saw the guy - Sasuke he introduced himself- looked at him he somehow rethought his actions.

Glaring at the boy he stepped up. " Uzumaki Naruto, and what were you doing to Saku-chan just now?"

Sasuke awkwardly put his chubby hands to his pockets his cheeks turning pink and was scowling to the pink haired girl who was snickering beside him. " I didn't do anything to her, as a matter of fact she was the one who kicked me." Right after he said that he was chopped by his side by a very angry girl.

Naruto scrunched his face up, confused. " Fuh-fact? What's that?" He inched closer to Sakura and Sasuke.

Sasuke shrugged, "what are you an idiot? You don't even know what that means" He ignored it when Naruto shouted in his ear for calling him an idiot.

"If you're so smug about it Sasuke then what does is mean 'ttebayo?" Naruto stomped his feet and harrumphed. Caught of guard, Sasuke tried remembering what the meaning was, when Sakura laughed loudly and remarked.
