Series of Unexpected Events

A/N: Haha, I shouldn't be doing another story I know, but I don't have any inspiration left for my other one. Sooo...I went into a Naruto phase, and a new shipping fandom.

Warnings: Coarse language, violence, and possible shounen-ai/yaoi.

"Normal talking"

"Kyuubi talking"

"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted, leaping after the black haired boy through the forest canopy with incredible speed. He pushed himself to go faster; to get Sasuke back, for Sakura, for everyone else and for his sanity. Naruto knew he would not be able to rest easy until Sasuke was back where he belonged, in Konohagakure. Naruto had promised he'd bring Sasuke back and he never went back on his word.

All of a sudden, Sasuke's retreating form dropped from his line of sight and Naruto panicked.

"Shit," he cursed under his breath, eyes darting around to try and catch a glimpse of something that resembled a black duck's butt. However he instead stumbled to a stop on a small expanse of rock which dropped down into a river. Naruto glanced around warily, body low in a crouch. Peering over the edge of his little rock platform, he realised two gigantic statues had been carved into the rock on either side of a waterfall and Sasuke was standing on the other head.

"They're not so different to us. Both of them, the best of friends who fought to the death in this valley. The Valley of the End," Sasuke spoke. His voice was soft, but Naruto could hear it clearly over the thundering roar of the waterfall.

"Why? What made you be like this-"

"Nothing will stand in my way. Nothing of this, has to do with anything with you. I won't let anyone lead me astray from my path." Sasuke continued as he spun around, his curse pattern slowly spreading across his face.

Naruto growled furiously at his team mate's stubborn attitude. It was barely the sound of a human, echoing the anger of the Kyuubi  caged inside of him. Naruto could barely see anything beyond the haze of his frustration and the flashing memories of their friendship. Why couldn't Sasuke see the people who cared for him behind his wall of hate and vengeance - the people who would risk their lives to see him safe?

"My childish games with Konoha are over. Go home, dobe."

Hurt flickered across Naruto's face before settling into an exhausted expression. 

"Chouji...Kiba...Neji...Shikamaru...Thick brows...They all risked their lives to follow you here," Naruto said quietly, remembering their determination to help this asshole in front of him. As he spoke he felt familiar rage boil up within him. 

"So what the hell are you thinking about your comrades?!" Naruto growled suddenly, leaping across the chasm to hopefully beat some sense into the duckbutt-haired bastard. He crashed into Sasuke, his momentum knocking over the Uchiha before he socked the bastard's jaw. Sky blue eyes were wide with anger, his pupils contracting into slits. Shaky hands gripped the collar of Sasuke's shirt and lifted him up, kneeling on top of his traitourous friend.. 

"What the hell am I to you?!"

"Do I get any stronger by staying with these 'comrades'?" Sasuke stared intensely at Naruto. When the blonde didn't reply, Sasuke glared at him, the whites of his left eye bleeding into black.

"I'm going to Orochimaru."

"OROCHIMARU ONLY WANTS YOU TO BE HIS NEXT VESSEL! HE WAS THE ONE WHO ATTACKED OUR VILLAGE-"

"Your village."

The sudden interruption made Naruto pause for a second. The words did not. Snarls and growls were ripped from his mouth as his anger shot through his shaky bounds of control, but Sasuke - sensing the danger - lifted Naruto off him by his collar and punched him squarely in the stomach. The blonde was knocked into the river where he struggled to surface and regain control of the beast within.
"Go away fox! Stop trying to take control of my body!!"  
Naruto broke the surface with a gasp, his eyes back to normal and slowly channelled chakra to his feet to allow him to walk on the water.
