Recap
"We should just read the next scroll, I'm pretty sure it'll answer your question."
———————————————————————————

Dear naruto and sasuke,

'It's like Itachi-nii knew I was going to share it with sasuke,' naruto thought.

As much as I love and trust you both, do not come after me. Sasuke, I know there is no point in apologizing but just know that I will forever love you.

Naruto, I completely trust in your abilities so stay strong. You are getting stronger everyday and just know that I will always believe in you.

However, you both cannot come for me, I have joined an organization. Suspicion will arouse if I leave. Don't mind me, stay strong, both of you.

From
Itachi

"Why..." was the soft reply of the raven.

The handwritten scroll crumpled from the pressure of naruto's grip. A small droplet tear came from the shimmering blue eyes slightly smudging the ink.

On the other end of the scroll, sasuke gripped tightly almost ripping the paper. The silence is broken from the occasional gust of wind.

"I'm going back," sasuke simply stated as he took one step away.

Naruto swiftly rolled up the scrolls. He then took rest on the soft grass not finding a reason to trod all the way back home.

"Your not leaving?" Sasuke asked.

"I see no point to," the blond replied.

The raven just stood there in silence before taking rest a few meters away from naruto.

The handwritten letter left a soft yet strong imprint in both there minds, telling them to 'calm down' or 'remember what's right'


"Sasuke! Naruto!" A familiar voice shouted.

As the two slowly opened there eyes, they were met with sun in there eyes.

"Glad you guys are okay, you weren't at your houses," Sakura exhaled.

A masked sensei followed behind. "Guess I'm not the late one today," kakashi said in a mocking tone.

"Chunin exams are today, aren't they?" Naruto asked.

"They are aren't they?" Sasuke asked, "how much time do we have?"

"We should get there early so around half an hour," sakura replied.

The blond walked off away from the training ground.

"Where you going?" Sasuke asked.

"Ramen"

"We're coming with you," Sakura stated leading the rest of the team with her.

The 4 sat along the red seats at the small ramen store with teuchi serving them miso ramen.

"So what's that?" Sakura asked gesturing towards the two scrolls Naruto was clenching hard.
