The Fox Spirit and The God of Yin

Ch.19 Let's Visit Sakura!

After that finding out Sasuke's stupid reason for giving him attitude, Naruto was tired and didn't want to interact with him. Thankfully he was going to see Sakura today. He was definitely looking forward to seeing her. She probably would tackle him when she first sees him. Just thinking about her made him forget about his frustration and fill his heart with joy. Naruto made his way to Madara's study and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Naruto was overcome with relief and he had calmed down by hearing him speak. He opened the door and came in with a bright smile. "I just came to tell you I'll be leaving to see Sakura."

Madara was glad that Naruto was so happy. It was the first time he's seen the blonde so enthusiastic since he's got here.

"I see. Be careful and be back by sunset." Naruto nodded and bowed to pay respect and closed the door behind him. He would have gone in for a hug but that would be very informal. Naruto had always done that before though, with Sakura, his parents, the villagers, Mitsuki, and Iruka. With him, it would be inappropriate -not that what they did before was appropriate-.

Naruto joyously walked his way down the hallways taking big strides and humming. His smile vanished as he saw the selfish man in front of him.

"Sasuke," Naruto was disgusted. He thought after that encounter he would cool his head and forgive him but that wasn't the case. Each time he thought of it was like throwing wood into a fire. "I'm not in the mood for your bullshit. I have somewhere to be."

The blonde walked past Sasuke. He wasn't very responsive and he didn't seem annoyed. He took Naruto's insults without complaining. That won't be enough for Naruto to like him but at least he's trying.

'That's nice for him.'

Albeit it didn't matter to Naruto because Sasuke has nothing to prove to someone who could care less about his existence.

"I can guide you." He spoke in an unfamiliar tone that he's never heard from the raven-haired man before. Naruto stopped for a moment. "The way to the mortal world is a bit tricky to get through. I can help guide you."

Was this a form of apology? Either way, Naruto was tempted to accept. He had just realized that he had no clue of how to get back to Earth. He should have learned or asked how to get back.

Why did he do this things to himself?

The blonde would have to let his pride sink and accept his help. Naruto wasn't too hungover it. He was helpless in this situation. 'I could just ask someone else, but that might take too much time. I just want to meet Sakura.'

"Fine."

With that Sasuke looked a bit happy. His expressions were hard to read more so than Madara's. It just felt a bit weird that he wasn't giving an attitude. He walked over and put his hand on the blonde's shoulder. "It'll be a few moments."

The blonde nodded. Sasuke's gleamed a dark red and the wind picked up around them. 'How nostalgic.'

Suddenly they ended up in a middle of a forest, but it wasn't just any forest. It was the forest Naruto grew up in. Right away the blonde could recognize the trees and plants, it wasn't too far from the area where Iruka and Mitsuki are.

"I wasn't able to reach the exact place you thought of. The barrier prevented me from entering like that." Sasuke informed him.

Naruto acknowledged his words and figured out that he was probably able to see the image in his head cause of his red eyes. It must be an Uchiha thing.

"Follow me then."

Naruto walked through the forest naturally as if he was navigating the back of his hand. He didn't care or wait for Sasuke to follow behind him. The black-haired man was able to keep up with him. Naruto grazed his hands on the trees he passed as he got closer and closer to his home. He missed it so much.
