"Training starts tomorrow. Be at the bottom of the waterfall, Valley of the end at eleven. You got that ELEVEN. Don't bring lunch, I'll supply. Consider it a gift from your Sensei. Bring all your supplies. You'll need them."
- Naruto, Meet Your Sensei!
If people could have personal storm clouds, Uchiha Sasuke definitely had one. It fact, you could almost see the little thunder head floating a foot above his messy, yet oh so perfect hair style; tiny lightning bolts lancing out, and a spattering of rain pattering atop his dark head. The scowl on his face could safely be rated at 'I'm picturing you, yeah you, as Itachi: Right here, Right now.' and his glare at 'Combustion. NOW' levels. It was a wonder they weren't sharingan red, really.
He couldn't believe the nerve of that woman who called herself Hokage. Right now, Sasuke rather wished he'd just stayed in his damned cell in the basement of the tower. Anything would be preferable to the hell he was set to endure now. Grinding his teeth the Uchiha thought back on the day before, when he'd managed to tear his way out of his cell thanks to the dobe's idiocy. The two of them had battled across Konoha as Sasuke made a bid for freedom, destroying great swatches of the city as they went until they'd finally been surrounded by Jounin and Anbu. In the end they'd been dragged before a ranting Hokage, given the brow beating of the century; then she'd gotten this cunning gleam in her eye that sent shivers down even Sasuke's spine (not, of course, that he'd ever admit it!)
Tsunade had gone on to blather about how since the prison obviously couldn't hold Sasuke he'd need a constant guard, and since she needed to punish Naruto as well everything was absolutely perfect.
Long, annoying, story short: Naruto was now the official Uchiha-sitter. In fact if Sasuke listened hard enough he could hear the overly loud idiot blathering somewhere behind him. Suppressing a grimace the Uchiha picked up his pace and started walking faster. Ever since that battle when Sasuke'd had a bit of a memory flash, and (stupidly) let it show, Naruto had been walking on air. Idiot.
Sulking along the crowded streets he ignored the looks he was getting, and the whispers. He didn't know why, or how, but the female population seemed to have fallen right back into their adoration of him; why he couldn't even begin to fathom. Sending a scalding glare at a girl who managed to 'drift' just a little to close sent her skittering away, though as he turned the corner her heard a high pitched 'HE LOOKED AT ME!' squealed into the air, and he rather thought it was a wonderful show of self control that he didn't either go back and kill her, or slam his head into the wall in an attempt to put himself out of his misery.
He stopped then, scowling thunderously as he'd reached the gates out of the village. He wasn't allowed to leave on his own: He shouldn't even be this far away from Naruto, but he was 0.3 seconds from attempting to drown himself in the nearest catch basin with more than five inches of water just to get the idiots voice out of his head. He still hadn't remembered much, and he still just wanted to leave and go kill that son of a bitch Itachi, but he didn't have much choice. Sasuke was considered smart, and he'd figured that if he tried another stunt like that break out that bitch in office would find a punishment worse that Naruto. He didn't think such a thing existed, but then again he hadn't thought anything was worse than being locked in that cell.
Ignoring the gate guard that was surreptitiously drifting closer to him he sighed, waiting until Naruto was close enough to warrant his Baby-Sitting job's standards taken care of, then Sasuke was out of the gate and into the tree tops, quickly angling toward the Valley. Why the idiot had decided to send fresh genin here, he'd never know, but from the way Naruto had been ranting on about the trio he was getting paid back in full for the hell they'd caused Kakashi... Sadly, it seemed Sasuke was getting dragged down with him again. Damn.
