First thing Sasuke realized when he woke was that he was on floor. The next thing he realized was that someone had pushed him onto the floor.

"Get up Uchiha or I'm going to stab you." stated Wolf calmly

"I hate you" Sasuke groaned, not moving and he, in all honesty didn't plan on it anytime soon.

But Wolf obviously had other plans, for Sasuke suddenly had a feeling he was about to-

"God damn it!" shouted Sasuke jumping up and clutching at his shoulder which was now bleeding. Wolf who was now apparently satisfied that Sasuke was awake, put away his kunai.

"You fucking stabbed me!" Sasuke fumed furiously, and Wolf turned to him, uncaring.

"I did warn you" he reminded him

Sasuke glared at him with such intensity it could make grown men cry, however Wolf seemed annoyingly unaffected.

"You have to see Tsunade at the Hokage Tower in half an hour, for your daily punishment so I suggest you get dressed if you wish to avoid being thrown out a window" Wolf told him before leaving the room, closing the door behind him.

Sasuke let out an angry huff and proceeded to have a shower.

Ten minutes later…

Sasuke was in the kitchen making himself some breakfast, he sighed and then shouted to Wolf who he could sense standing outside

"Do you want something to eat?"

He figured he'd better be nice seen as this man saved his life, and could possibly kill him in under a minute. He frowned as he thought about his near death experience, it hadn't really occurred to him that he had no idea how he came to have such a deadly poison in him in the first place.

The door opened and Wolf walked in. Sasuke held out the bowl of cereal (1) he had made for him and both of them sat down, eating in silence.

"Wolf?" Sasuke asked quietly, looking at the masked man across from him.

Wolf looked up "Yeah?"

"How was I poisoned by Orochimaru?"

Wolf frowned a second, thinking. "I'm guessing it happened during the battle between you and Itachi, while Itachi was removing Orochimaru from your body he must have infected you. Stupid Snake Bastard, he never did know when to give up"

Sasuke hissed slightly at the mention of his traitorous excuse for a brother (2) and then something occured to him about Wolf's last sentence.

"You watched our battle then?" quiered Sasuke, unsure how to feel about this new development.

"Yeah. I was waiting for you after all." Wolf answered eyes flicking back toward his bowl which oddly remained untouched. Sasuke could tell from his tone that he would say nothing else on the subject.

Sasuke stood up after a moment picked up both their dishes and dumped them in the sink, He heard Wolf stand up behind him and walk to the door.

"You ready to go?" Wolf asked him

"Hn" replied Sasuke, which Wolf took as a yes.

As they walked down the street, Sasuke begin to feel rather uncomfortable. All

Around him people were staring at him, whispering. But unfortunately for Sasuke he could still hear them.

"Betrayal"

"Revenge"

"Pain"

"Traitor"

"Murderer"

But then Sasuke heard something that made him stop dead.

"Friend"

He looked around, and immediately everyone looked away. Wolf stopped and shouted at him "Uchiha, get moving!"

Sasuke took one final look at the people around him and as he walked away he realised something.

Not a single one had blond hair.

As soon as he entered Tsunade's Office, Sasuke knew something was wrong. Tsunade looked extremely angry and was arguing with a man who Sasuke did not recognize.

Tsunade turned to look at him, regret clear on her face "I'm sorry about this Sasuke" she told him and motioned to the two ANBU guards standing just inside the room. Immediately they were on him, pinning his arms to his sides, fitting him with charka blocking bands (3). He struggled against their hold, until Wolf shouted at him to stop.

Then Wolf turned to Tsunade and his voice deadly calm he asked "What is the meaning of this, Tsunade?" Sasuke again noted the absence of the word lady.

Tsunade's eyes narrowed at his tone, but she said nothing. She turned to Sasuke and said to him "Sasuke Uchiha, I hereby condemn you to life imprisonment for betrayal to you village" Sasuke did not fail to notice the smirk on the face of the man Tsunade had previously been arguing with, Sasuke also had the sinking suspicion that he was to blame for her sudden change of heart.

Wolf spoke again in the same voice of deadly calm "Tsunade, can I have a word with you? In Private?"

Tsunade nodded to Sasuke's guards "Wait outside with him for a moment"

They nodded and lead him out of the room, a moment later the mysterious man followed behind pausing to smirk at Sasuke again before continuing on his way.

Sasuke then noticed the door was slightly ajar and he leant towards it to hear the conversation within.

"-council demands it, I can't do anything" Tsunade was saying

"We had a deal Tsunade! When he died, he told me to help him. I can't let him down he-"

One of the guards then realized what Sasuke was doing and roughly pulled him away from the door. A few minutes later, Tsunade called for them to come in.

Tsunade was still seated at her desk, Wolf was standing in the corner, calm but Sasuke could see from his body language that he was furious.

"I regret to say this Sasuke but I must respect the council's decision, I cannot ignore them in this situation. I am very sorry" She told him, her expression grave. She turned to his guards.

"Take him aw-" She began but then Iruka burst into the room, expression panicked.

"Lady Tsunade, The academy is on fire. We do not have enough help and there are students still trapped inside!"

Tsunade nodded to Sasuke's guards and they ran out of room followed by Iruka. Wolf didn't move.

"They'll need your help, Wolf." She told him

Wolf turned to her "I know, but we need someone to keep an eye on him" Inclining his head to Sasuke.

Tsunade pondered this for a moment the seemed to come to a decision "Take him with you, there will be more than enough people to keep track of him there. Not that he's likely to go anywhere anyway not with those charka restraints on"

Wolf turned to him "Come on, lets go" and left the room. Sasuke went to follow him but Tsunade's voice stopped him

"One thing I used to notice about Naruto, whenever he got into trouble with me, He'd do something stupidly heroic and almost kill himself and then I'd forget all about it. Just somthing to think about."

Sasuke said nothing and left.

The Academy was a panic zone. There were people running everywhere, trying to put out the fire, checking on students, getting treated for burns. Wolf ran straight to Kakashi, asking for an update.

"I'm waiting on an update from Iruka on any missing students; no-one knows how the fire was started. There's a lot of alarm around the place." He told them.

Just as Kakashi finished speaking, Iruka came running towards them.

"One student is unaccounted for as well as one of Jounin that went in; we don't have anyone who can go in. It's too dangerous!" He spoke rapidly to the three of them.

Wolf spoke up "I can do it, I'll go find the Jounin and the kid, and you stay here." He said looking over to Sasuke before rushing off toward the flaming building.

As soon as he was gone Sasuke turned to Iruka.

"Where did you last see the kid?" He asked him

Iruka looked surprised "Second floor in room seven, But Sasuke you can't-"

"Naruto would have done it, probably did. Anyway Wolf wont have time to get both, not by the looks of that building anyway" Sasuke said to him, before following Wolf in direction of the school. No- one tried to stop him; they were all too busy to notice. He stood at the entrance before sighing in resignation and entering.

The heat was intense, and there were flames everywhere. Smoke filled the corridors as Sasuke rushed through towards the second floor. The stairs were still intact and it took him no time at all to reach the second corridor, however that's where the problem was.

There was a flaming beam lying across the hallway and Sasuke knew he'd have to keep going, so he ran and jumped over the top of the beam, badly burning his legs in the process. But he continued despite the burning pain in his legs, until he reached room seven.

This room was full of smoke but Sasuke detected a boy's charka signature in the cupboard across the room, he cleared the room in seconds pulling the open to reveal an unconscious boy, who seemed to be about six. Sasuke picked him up and realized there was no going back the way he came especially with the boy. The heat was begining to take it's toll on him, he knew he wouldn't last much longer and by the looks of the boy he had even less time. He quickly made a decision.

He walked to the window, looking downwards. It wasn't that far to the ground, so he took a deep breath and jumped.

The next thing he was aware of was Wolf, shouting and the feeling of a healing jutsu running it's way over his body.

"You fucking idiot, to do that with no charka. You could have been killed, Hell its idiotic things like that which got Naruto killed!"

Sasuke felt a pain which had nothing to do with his burns erupt in his chest.

"Oh God" Was the last thing he said before the pain and shock dragged him down into unconsciousness.

Well? Like? Hate? Give me some feedback! Also A note to those who wish to flame, If you wish to crititcise my story then so be it. But Please I beg you to be nice about, I don't take well to people being harsh. Cheers.

(1) I don't know if they eat cereal but what the hell! I wanted them to eat cereal so they will

(2) He still thinks Itachi is a traitor because the meeting with Mandara never happened

(3) This is why he doesn't use any charka to rescue the boy. It's blocked. And I don't know if they have a technical name so I called them charka blockers

Sorry if this chapter had a lot of rushed action that didn't make much sense, I was trying to tie everthing from previous chapters together. As well as starting the real plotline :) Don't kill me for killing Naruto! Everything will be okay later so just stick with me awhile longer!

I will update as soon as possible! It will probably be at least two weeks sorry!

Review please :) It makes me smile!
