Hey Everyone,

This story is kind of different because instead of Sasuke being the bad guy on the bad side of the law Naruto is.

Enjoy the chapter.

Sasuke and Naruto were best friends all through middle school but the moment they hit high school Naruto disappeared and Sasuke pledged to do anything to find him. What he got of course was something he didn't like. Ten years after high school and Sasuke was in the FBI as an active agent with a certain task force that was taught to control gangs and gang murders.

"Sir Sasuke isn't here again." Kiba said.

"Damn that boy." Kakashi said.

"Who are you calling a boy old man?" Sasuke asked as he walked into the office.

"You, Sasuke Uchiha how many times do I have to tell you not to come to work late?" Kakashi asked.

"I was following up on something that needed my attention." Sasuke said.

"Sasuke, come to my office we need to speak." Kakashi said.

Sasuke sighed but got up giving Sakura his partner a small smile and followed after Kakashi. The moment the door was shut Kakashi slammed a file on his desk.

"Sasuke when are you going to stop this shit with Naruto. He obviously doesn't want to be found." Kakashi said.

Kakashi knew who Naruto was and was fully aware how much Sasuke cared for him.

"I never said it was about Naruto." Sasuke said a smirk on his face sitting casual in front of his boss' desk.

"Pish posh Sasuke it's always about Naruto when you're late. You're always following a new lead about him and that's when you're late." Kakashi said moving his hands around frustrated with his young employee.

"You really keep tabs on me." Sasuke said with a chuckle smirking.

"This is serious Sasuke. Do you know how worried your brother is about you doing this?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes actually I do he brings it up every time I am around him." Sasuke said irritable his face losing the smirk and gaining a frown over his brother being mentioned.

"Well give me and your brother some peace of mind and stop this mess about Naruto. You can't save nor find him. He doesn't want to be found." Kakashi said.

"I don't know why you guys think I won't just do it when I'm off shift. I need to find him. He hasn't been seen or heard from since his mom and dad died before high school." Sasuke said even though that wasn't completely true.

"What makes you think he wants to talk to you to begin with?" Kakashi asked as Sasuke stood from his chair.

"Call it intuition; he wants me to find him." Sasuke said before walking out the office.

"What the hell am I going to do with him?" Kakashi said out loud to himself.

"Sasuke were you getting yelled at again?" Kiba asked coming up to Sasuke.

"Of course he drops everything when it comes to a lead on that Uzumaki guy." Sakura said.

"Shut up you two what's the case?" Sasuke asked two of his group members.

"Three murders on the lower east side." Sakura said pulling out the report.

"All the markings symbolize they are in that one gang called the Kitsune." Kiba said pointing out the tattoo marks on their left arms of a fox.

"Damn let's get going." Sasuke said pulling his jacket off the chair.

Sasuke has been keeping his radar on that gang because something about that gang seemed vaguely familiar to his past but he just couldn't quite put his finger on it. They got to the truck and Sasuke noticed there other teammates weren't there.

"Where is everyone else?" Sasuke asked as he sat in the passenger seat.

"At the crime scene waiting for us." Kiba answered from the back as Sakura got in the driver's seat.

"They said they didn't want to wait for you." Sakura said as she started the car.

"Figures, Neji must be there." Sasuke said sighing as he looked out the window.

Sasuke, Sakura, Kiba, Neji, Tenten, Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo were all on a team together. They had an eight man squad. But they all tended to split up into groups of two though Sasuke used to go off alone until it became mandatory for someone to be with him at all times. No one wanted to take that duty but it had to be done.

"We're here you guys." Sakura said breaking their thoughts.

They all hopped out the car Sasuke walking ahead scoping out the crowd. He saw someone that was spotted with Naruto quite frequently that he was tempted to go talk to him.

"Sasuke come on." Sakura said and Sasuke could have sworn that he made eye contact with the guy.

"So is it?" Sasuke asked as he came into the crime scene.

"From the looks of the tats they are from the Kitsune." Suigetsu said as he took the pictures.

Suigetsu was the most knowledgeable when it came to gang tattoos.

"Really?" Sasuke said lifting the sheet.

"Well who do you think did it?" Kiba asked.

"Shut up Kiba." they all said that at the same time.

"Sakura we need to check out the shells in the alley." Karin said pulling for her to come along.

Sasuke looked around in the surroundings with the group and saw the guy that was there left and entering a car with a blonde in the passenger seat.

'Naruto,' Sasuke said running through the crowd to get to the car. "Damn it Naruto." Sasuke said as the car drove away a little bit just to pull over and for the blonde to get out.

"Naruto," Sasuke said before he started walking toward the blonde.

"Yeah," was all Naruto said standing still.

Sasuke reached him and immediately pulled him into a hug.

"Where the hell have you been?" Sasuke mumbled.

"Sasuke you really need to stop looking for me. I'm not the same person from back then and you can't get involved with me not with the job you have that is." Naruto said pushing Sasuke away gently.

"I have been looking for you since you dropped out of school and your parent's died." Sasuke said in almost a whisper.

"I'm sorry but could you just stop. Find out who killed those guys and leave me be." Naruto said turning away.

"Naruto," Sasuke said but it was all too late because Naruto was already getting into the car.

"Here's my card Sasuke Uchiha of the FBI gang task force older brother Itachi Uchiha parents Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha. Twenty eight years old, not married, and no kids." The guy in the back said.

The guy in the back was Shikamaru Nara one of the most intelligent men in the state of Konoha.

"Have you been searching information on me?" Sasuke asked looking at the back seat to the front where Naruto was to the driver.

"We were best friends when we were kids Sasuke I gave him basically all the information about you." Naruto said.

"But I do know a lot more than that Naruto." Shikamaru said.

"Shika that is enough from you." Naruto said in a growl of a tone.

"Fine, fine," Shikamaru said shaking his hand leaning back.

"Okay Sasuke be good and stay away from me." Naruto said before tapping the driver to leave. "Bye," Naruto said and he was gone.

Sasuke just watched the car drive away he couldn't help but feel sadness from watching his childhood best friend leave without wanting him in his life. That was the second time Sasuke had seen him in the ten years after high school. Naruto used to make his way into Sasuke's house for food from time to time when they were kids and even used to sleep there but was never there when Sasuke woke up and that killed Sasuke. But the minute Sasuke graduated from high school he never seen Naruto again until one time when he was a beat cop and Sasuke was getting attacked by some gangsters and Naruto saved him.

(Flashback)

"Sasuke, are you okay?" Naruto asked as if they never split up to begin with.

"Naruto," Sasuke said as he let Naruto help him up.

"You good?" Naruto asked slowly letting Sasuke go.

"Yeah, I'm good. Naruto, where have you been?" Sasuke asked grabbing a hold of Naruto not realizing all the blood on his best friend.

"I have been around. I see you succeed in becoming a cop but haven't been doing a job at it." Naruto said in a humorous tone with a smirk on his face.

"Hey the bastards caught me off guard and right now I am just a beat cop. I will be in the FBI soon enough. Naruto I have been looking for you everywhere. Where have you been?" Sasuke asked sadness showing in his voice and features.

"Sasuke, we live in two different worlds just live your life while I live mine. But it's good to see you're doing well for yourself. But you should call this in and let them know what happened to you." Naruto said as he walked out the alley way.

Sasuke didn't notice all the blood until Naruto walked out the alley and he looked around at the guys they were all lying there broken and bloody but they were all still alive. But days later after all of them were released Sasuke noticed a case on the homicide detective's desk that the four guys were found dead.

(Flashback End)

Now that Sasuke thinks back on it Naruto seemed eerily happy to see him that day.

"Sasuke, what are you doing over here?" Sakura asked breaking Sasuke out of his thoughts of the past.

"I was talking to someone. Maybe a witness." Sasuke answered.

"Well I think I found something you may be interested in from their phones." Sakura said.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked walking up to her to see two of the phones while she held the third.

Sasuke didn't get an answer he just looked through the contacts to notice the same number in the guy's phone Shikamaru and Kurama.

'Shikamaru?' Sasuke thought then pulled out the card he just got from the guy known as the shadow his real name being Shikamaru Nara.

"I just got his card before he drove away." Sasuke said not wanting to talk about his encounter with Naruto.

"We need to bring him in for interrogation." Sakura said.

"I don't think he killed the guys but it would be best to find out what he knows." Sasuke said walking back to the others.

When they got back to the group Neji was glaring at him like usual which was annoying but he didn't bother to say anything. He was already a little too used to it from them.

"Why do you go off alone halfcocked? You could get hurt." Neji said as they all got into the car.

"Shut up Neji will ya." Suigetsu said in the back seat.

Suigetsu was one of the group members that hated to listen to everyone argue. Even though majority of the time he was in arguments with Karin.

"No he doesn't have to let it go. Sasuke should stop going around halfcocked because one of these days he is going to get hurt for it one of these days." Karin said agreeing with Neji.

"Unless that Uzumaki guy is going to save your ass when you need it." Neji said only to get grabbed by Sasuke.

"Don't talk about him like you know who he is." Sasuke said shoving Neji to the seat.

"I actually know about him. He is a gang member that probably killed many people." Neji said glaring back at Sasuke.

Sasuke was about to attack Neji until Sakura grabbed him taking him out the truck to go to the other one.

"You know how he feels about this guy so stop messing with him when you don't even express facts you express your opinions just to get under his skin." Sakura said once she got Sasuke to walk away.

"I didn't think you were naive too Sakura." Neji said shaking his head only for Sakura to slam the door shut and go to the other truck.

The moment she got in the truck she noticed just how mad Sasuke was.

"Sasuke you need to relax. Don't let what Neji said bother you." Sakura said getting into the back seat.

"He has no right to talk about Naruto when he knows nothing about him. We don't even know if he's in a gang." Sasuke said venting to Sakura the one person who understands and doesn't judge him for his relations with Naruto.

"Sasuke, it would be best to calm down before we get back to the office Kakashi isn't going to like what he is going to hear when we get there." Jugo said as he started the car.

The car went silent after Jugo's declaration because everyone in the truck knew he was right. They were all going to get lectured for Sasuke's halfcocked behavior. Four people were to a truck each Kiba, Jugo, Sakura, and Sasuke and the other four were in the other truck Neji, Tenten, Suigetsu, and Karin. What a mixture that is but it had to be that way sometimes.

"I can't believe he is being this naive about that guy." Neji said as they all walked into the building.

"Neji if you don't shut your mouth I will shut it for you." Sasuke said as he walked to his chair.

"Oh yeah hit me because your insolence." Neji said.

"Would you two please shut the fuck up we're FBI agents for Christ's sake and you two can't act like professionals." Suigetsu said which is shocking considering he is one of the most hyper of the group.

"He is absolutely right what is going on?" Kakashi asked.

"Sasuke walked off the scene again." Neji said.

"Shut up already you don't even know anything." Sasuke said waving his hand away as he tilts back in his chair.

"Please elaborate what he doesn't know." Kakashi said getting irritated.

"What Sasuke is trying to say is that we might have a lead. When Sasuke walked away from the crime scene he was talking to someone who could have possible information about the three men that were shot. We found on the phone that the same man that talked to Sasuke also were on the three men cell phones." Sakura answered.

"Is that true Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.

"Yup," Sasuke answered spinning in his chair.

"Then why didn't you say that from the beginning?" Kakashi asked.

"Because I didn't feel the need to explain it to Neji considering he automatically thought I was missing because of Naruto." Sasuke said.

"Of course someone would think that Sasuke you can't just expect that especially if you do it all the time." Kakashi said.

"We were on a case I wouldn't just go to find out about Naruto while an ongoing case is going on. I can look for him in my spare time." Sasuke said as everyone stared at him in disbelief.

Everyone knew he would leave off a scene if it came to finding out something about Naruto if he could.

"Whatever, I have his card so do you want us to call him in to see what he knows about these three guys?" Sasuke asked ignoring everything else.

"Yes, but I do have one question for you." Kakashi said making everyone look at Kakashi.

Sasuke nodded at him for him to continue because he was actually curious to what he was about to be asked.

"Why do you think he's not the killer?" Kakashi asked sighing and shaking his head.

"Well because he was watching and analyzing everything at the crime scene. Then he gave me his card and told me to call him if I needed anything." Sasuke said.

"That doesn't make him innocent." Neji said.

"No Neji it doesn't but people with that man's intelligence level doesn't just sit there to get caught." Sasuke said annoyed.

"I get why you think he is innocent but that doesn't mean he is." Kakashi said.

"I am excited to see what happens when someone interrogates him. Good luck with whoever does it." Sasuke said chuckling.

"Well I am glad you feel that way because you and Neji will be interrogating him." Kakashi said.

"WHAT?" Neji and Sasuke screamed at the same time not trying to be involved with each other.

"Yup its happening I am sick of you two arguing all the time so for this case you two will go everywhere together or you will be suspended understand?" Kakashi asked irritated.

"Fine," Sasuke said shrugging his shoulders.

"Fine," Neji grumbled sitting back down.

"Alright call him up." Kakashi said making Sasuke pull out his cell phone.

But the phone that Sasuke was calling was in the room making Sasuke look up.

"I told you that you guys would need to talk to me. I just had business to take care of that's why I didn't talk to you when we spoke earlier." Shikamaru said standing in the room.

"Now would an innocent man come into the office to speak to us?" Sasuke said chuckling as he got up. "Let me show you to a room." Sasuke said walking toward the back with Shikamaru following him.

Shikamaru just followed after Sasuke rolling his eyes at everyone.

"Neji are you coming or not?" Sasuke asked stopping by the door.

Neji stood irritated as hell but walked over there anyway.

"Did you know the three men that passed away?" Neji asked.

"Yes I knew them." Shikamaru said.

"How did you know them?" Sasuke asked.

"They were my friends." Shikamaru said.

"Do you know the gang The Kitsune?" Neji asked.

"Yes I do," Shikamaru asked.

"Did you know they were affiliated with that gang?" Sasuke asked.

"They were? How did you get that consensus?" Shikamaru asked.

"Well they had the tattoo of the red fox. Why do you assume they weren't affiliated with the gang?" Sasuke asked.

Shikamaru chuckled with a smirk. "I am just assuming or you would be bothering that gang instead of me." Shikamaru said.

"Aren't you involved with that gang too?" Neji asked.

"When did I ever say that I was?" Shikamaru questioned an eyebrow rising.

Sasuke didn't feel like he was getting any real answers from Shikamaru and he could tell that Shikamaru was playing a cat and mouse game with them. Before the questioning could continue there was a knock on the window.

"Does that mean I can go?" Shikamaru asked.

"Hold on really quick." Neji said standing up to go out the room.

"Sasuke, do you want to know how I knew all that information about you?" Shikamaru asked as his hand went under her chin.

"No I'm fine I don't know need to know." Sasuke said.

"But if I said something about Naruto you would want to know right?" Shikamaru asked.

"What are you trying to say?" Sasuke asked getting tense.

"Sasuke get out here now." Kakashi said making Sasuke get out the room.

Sasuke walked out the room to find Naruto in the room.

"I want to know what exactly do you need from Shikamaru." Naruto said.

"Are you his lawyer?" Neji asked.

"Yes I am, so what do you need him for? If it's about the three men that were shot earlier today is that yes he knew them and yes they were in his phone but they weren't always social. They sometimes contacted him for legal issues. He is a lawyer and those three do get in trouble quite often." Naruto said.

"Okay, does he have an alibi?" Neji asked.

"Does he have to?" Naruto asked.

"No, he doesn't have to have one because we're not charging him with any crimes because he didn't do it and came in here willingly." Sasuke answered.

"Thank you, can he come out now?" Naruto asked looking at Kakashi.

"Yes he may leave." Kakashi said gritting his teeth.

"He's in the back room right now. I will show you." Sasuke said leading the way.

The moment they got into the room Shikamaru couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you here?" Shikamaru asked chuckling.

"I couldn't just leave you here idiot." Naruto said then looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke, the three guys were in the group called the Kitsune and they were like henchmen for him their leader that is. They were supposed to bring some certain papers to Kurama the leader and they didn't make it obviously. Did you get the papers that were at the crime scene?" Naruto asked.

"You just gave us a lot of information. How did you know all that?" Sasuke asked ignoring the question Naruto asked him.

Naruto just gave him some valuable information that he could use to lure Kurama the gang boss out.

"Shikamaru, why didn't you tell him what you told me?" Naruto asked.

"I would have eventually said it when the time was convenient." Shikamaru said standing up.

"More like when you were alone with Sasuke." Naruto said glaring at his friend.

Sasuke for some reason had a weird feeling bottling up inside not sure what it was when he watched them. For the split second of watching them is that Naruto trusted someone that wasn't him.

'Why does he trust him but not me?' Sasuke thought.

Jealousy started to seep in his skin before he could even control it.

"We got to get going Sasuke. Thanks for believing he didn't do anything even if he conveniently placed himself in this situation." Naruto said before grabbing Shikamaru and walking off.

"So who was that?" Neji asked as he walked up to Kakashi.

"That's Shikamaru's lawyer and my old…" Sasuke stopped when Naruto looked back at him.

There was something there that Sasuke didn't know what it was but he knew it from when they were kids. Just when Sasuke was going to react to Kakashi called for him and Naruto took off.

'He wanted to talk to me.' Sasuke thought to himself as he walked to Kakashi's office.

"What is it?" Sasuke asked as Neji stood by him.

"What the hell was that about? He was are prime suspect. Was it because he mentioned Naruto to you?" Kakashi asked.

"No because I know he wouldn't come in here if he did it. Look at the guys IQ score it's a 170 he isn't stupid nor if he did the crime would he have openly let it be known." Sasuke said.

"Who was the guy to pick him up?" Kakashi asked.

"Shouldn't you know?" Sasuke asked.

"He never gave a name but his presence was dominant enough for me ignore it at the moment." Kakashi said a little too honest that made Sasuke raise his eyebrow.

"Well that lawyer told me that Shikamaru did know the three but it was for legal issues and that the three ran with the group called the Kitsune which we already knew considering the tattoos on their arms. But he also said something about the three men are henchmen for Kurama the leader. They were also making a run yesterday that's why they were out and papers were missing at the crime scene." Sasuke said.

"One problem with getting all that information." Kakashi said.

"And that is?" Sasuke asked.

"How did they know what was supposed to be at the crime scene?" Neji said.

"Exactly, no way they couldn't know unless they were informed by someone else that was meant to be there. Find that person." Kakashi said.

"Or it could be because the third man's cell phone last caller was Shikamaru Nara. Also earlier that day they got a text from Kurama on third man's phone about a rendezvous point they were supposed to meet the fourth person and guess where that was?" Sakura explained coming into the office.

"The place we found our victims." Neji said.

"Someone got to them before that person did or that person killed them and took the information they had." Sasuke said.

"For the call that was placed to Shikamaru it was approximately two minutes before the killings happened if we got the timing right from the guys watch being broken from the fall he took." Sakura said.

"We need to call back in Shikamaru. If he wants his lawyer to be in there with him then so be it but he needs to come in again." Kakashi said.

"Understood," Neji said taking the card from Sasuke's already raised hand.

When Neji was out of the office Kakashi looked at Sasuke and knew something was brewing in Sasuke's mind.

"What are you thinking about?" Kakashi asked sitting at his desk in front of Sasuke.

"Shikamaru seemed to only want to talk to me and me alone. He gave us the runaround for the whole time we were in there answering questions that were meaningless and asking us questions back." Sasuke said.

"Yeah I noticed that too." Kakashi said.

"The only person to give me a straight answer was the lawyer." Sasuke said not trying to mention it was Naruto.

"I know…" Kakashi started but was interrupted by Neji walking in.

"He said he won't be able to come back today that he has a client to take care of. The lawyer also said that if he wants any more information to call him instead that Sasuke would know how to get ahold of him." Neji said looking toward Sasuke.

"How?" Kakashi asked.

"Then he told me to tell you to look in your pocket." Neji said.

'Naruto, why do you do the weirdest shit?' Sasuke wondered in his head.

"Look in your pocket." Kakashi said getting irritated by Sasuke's blank stare.

Sasuke shrugged his shoulders and looked in his pocket to find a number. It didn't have a name on it or anything just a number saying call me if you need anything.

'There are a lot of things I need.' Sasuke thought to himself.

Reviews.

The FBI facts are not real by no means. I am at the moment making up as I go along.
