Scroll 1: The Demon Within |Naruto| |Reader Insert|

Idiots, and goodbyes...

The time is near. He'll be going to Orochimaru sooner than later.

'I know. Sasuke is strong enough to defend himself, but I don't trust him with that pedo...'

I can see the potential in him. He'll grow stronger.

Hopefully Naruto will match his strength in years time.

'He will, I believe he will—"

You abruptly stopped and sniffed the air a little.

What's wrong?

'Four people entered the village. One on top of the Hokage mountain, one at Sasuke's house, once near the academy, and the last one is in the middle of the village.'

"Blood clones." You muttered. Four clones made of blood appeared. You stood up and looked at them.

"Find those four presences, do not engage unless they see you first and attack." You ordered. They nodded before scattering. You look down towards Sakura and see her tear streaked face.

'I thought Kakashi was with her.' You thought. You jumped down in front of her and removed her hands from her face making her look at you, confused.

"Hey, it's okay, Sakura. Sasuke's alright, there's nothing to worry about." You said softly. She nodded while wiping her tears away. After a moment your clones returned and disappeared, transferring the information to you.

'Orochimaru sent them to collect Sasuke. Three males, one female... well, four males if you include the dude with two heads...' You thought while sweatdropping.

PLAY TEH MUSIC!!!!

It was night, and you were walking down a stone path when you see Sakura unconscious on the stone bench and Sasuke walking away with a backpack on his back.

"I knew you would do something like this." You called, making him stop.

"You're going there. To him. I have no doubt you are." You added.

"Of course. He's the only one that can help me acquire the strength I need to kill Itachi." He replied.

"It's funny." You started. You're having a bitter-sweet moment with a childhood friend, go with it.

"When we were younger and naïve about the world. You and I were close, like brother and sister. Now, I don't really know what I am to you anymore." You said was while smiling sadly.

"It's almost as if everyone I love and care about suddenly goes away and doesn't return." You muttered. He said nothing and kept his back turned towards you.

"You—" He started which drew your attention. He slowly turned around and looked at you, with almost a soft gaze.

"— are the only one I can tolerate." He finished while turning back around and walking away.

"Then I'll talk to you, when I see you again, Sasuke." You said while turning around and walking in the opposite direction while a single tear ran down your face. Sasuke turned towards you and watched your retreating form with almost regret in his eyes. He shook it off and continued walking.

He's gone huh?

The leaf's probably going to have to do a search party.

'It won't be easy to get him back from the Sound Four. But, I almost don't want to...'

Ehhh? What are you talking about?!

'Sasuke's been lied to his whole life. No one but the elders, Itachi, and I know why. He needs to do this to learn the truth. It's what Itachi wants...'

You've gone soft.

'My best friend left the village. I have a right to be.'

You walked into your house, and immediately went up to your bedroom and crashed onto your bed while falling asleep.

'I just hope Sasuke's going to be alright.' You thought before sleep consumed you.

Heyyyy! It's been a while! Anyways, no one has requested for Sasuke as the 'love interest', but that okay! I wasn't planning for him to be with Reader-chan anyways! REMEBER!!!! Y'ALL HAVE UNTIL MARCH 30th TO SAY WHO YOU WANT THE LOVE INTEREST TO BE!

THEN I'LL SLOWLY CUT DOWN THE TOP PICKS UNTIL THERE IS ONLY ONE LEFT!!

Think of it as a competition!
