Don't Leave Me

Naruto POV

It was a normal day in Konohagakure no Sato. The blonde sunshine of Konoha was back and certain residents couldn't be more happier
"Eat up Naru you've been a long way from home" Old Man Teuchi said as I was slurping my favorite Miso Ramen at Ichiraku's
"Thanks Kami knows I've missed this" I reply about to enter my 7th bowl
I was discharged from the hospital a day ago and decided to come down here
Jiji was nice enough to get an apartment for me along with money to buy any supplies I needed
I was accompanied today by Kashi-Chan, Tachi-San and Sasu-kun
"You eat quite a lot Naruto" Sasuke-kun said as I smiled at him
"He's eating slower than before" Itachi-San replied as Kashi-Chan nodded
"Man I'm stuffed" I say patting by belly as Old Man Teuchi smiled down at me
"Ayame will be happy to hear you're back Naruto-kun, please take care and come back again" Teuchi replied as I waved at him leaving the shop
"Naruto-kun where to next" Tachi-San asked me
"The Red Light District, there's someone I need to see" I told them ignoring Sasuke's questioning look at me
I really hope Numa-Nii remembers me

Sasuke's POV

I wasn't disgusted at all with Naruto's eating habits, I actually quite liked the way he ate so voraciously
"You like him" Itachi-Nii said from beside me
"What gives you that idea" I ask him as we continued on the way to the Red Light District
"You're jealous that he has someone he needs to see at the Red Light District  Itachi-Nii states as I frown slightly
"Don't worry it's someone I know quite well, Naruto used to hang round him when he was younger, he was Lord Fourths unofficial student" Itachi-Nii told me before keeping quiet
The former Team 7 was Lord Fourths Team so I was interested in this unofficial student who lives in the Red Light District
Soon we arrived at the heart of the Red Light District, everywhere was quite dull and it looked like it was uninhabited
"The Red Light District sleeps when everyone is awake" Naruto states before darting into an alleyway
"Naruto" I find myself shouting as I ran after him along with Kakashi-Sensei and Itachi-Nii
We found him in front of a 3 storey apartment knocking on the door
"Naru please a warning before you run off like that" Kakashi-Sensei scolded him lightly
"Gomen Kashi-Chan it's just that I was quite excited" Naruto apologized blushing and scratching the back of his head
"Hello" an elderly man asked with his head sticking out the door of the apartment
"Hello I'm looking for Tanuma Ao" Naruto asked smiling slightly
"Tanuma is upstairs currently" he replied opening the door wider as Naruto smiled and ran upstairs
"Sorry he gets quite excited around old friends" Itachi-Nii said bowing as I followed Naruto upstairs

Naruto's POV

I knocked on the door that I remember coming to many nights before I was kidnapped
I was overwhelmed by the mix of emotions I was currently feeling with tears welling up behind my eyes
Will he remember me, will he hate me, will he pretend to not know me. Such questions were spinning round in my head
A warm hand entered mine and I looked beside me to see Sasuke
"You'll be fine Naru just relax" he said as I calmed down slightly
I heard the lock turn before the door swung open
In the space between the door stood a man with long navy blue hair and pale lavender eyes. He had a bored expression on his face as he stood there shirtless
"What?" I hear his voice ask as I became tongue tied
"Tanuma-san it's nice to see you" Kakashi says as Tanuma turns a bored eye over to him
"Oh Copy Ninja it's you" he states still bored
"I didn't come looking for you Tanuma-san, he did" Kakashi tells Tanuma pointing at me
"It's been a long time hasn't it Numa-Nii" I say smiling as tears roll down my eyes and Tanuma's face is filled with disbelief
"Little Fox" he says in a voice that sounds hopeful
"Numa-Nii" I cry as I run into his arms and he hugs me
"All those years I spent searching for you and I've finally found you" he tells me as I cry into his shoulder
