'W-what magic is this?' Pickle thought, 'Why are there so many of him?'. Hundreds upon hundreds of Naruto's were standing around everyone. Some walking on trees, others hanging from them from their feet, and all had smiles on their faces. The real Naruto looked around as his smile was the biggest of them all. Suigetsu, Jugo, Karin, and Kisame were astounded by the number of clones "H-how many clones are there?" Jugo asked

"100? 200? Maybe even 300," Karin said

"This brat... he's a monster," Kisame said as he noticed something different about a few clones

"Where are we?!"

"What the hell happened?!"

"How did we get out of here?!" shouted voices as the real Naruto turned around to see his sensei's and his parents. Naruto looked in amazement as he walked toward them "H-how the hell are you all out?" Naruto asked as Doyal shrugged

"Don't know. We felt something tug on us and we let it take us," Doyal explained as Spec was looking at Pickle

"Damn, boyo, you're tall. Look at ya, you're a foot taller than me," Spec said as he was smelling the air, "sulfur, blood, salt, wow. This place is a battleground,"

"Spec, I would advise we don't make any sudden actions. We don't know if we can die again if we were brought back out here," Yanagi said as Spec shrugged

"I'm 97 god-damn years old, I don't give a fuck,"

"*Sigh* What a day this has become," Naruto whispered as all his clones vanished in smoke while Yanagi, Doyal, Spec, Kaioh Dorain, Doyal, Kushina, and Minato were still there. Kushina was looking at Pickle as the ladder was looking at Naruto. He then walked back to the rock and sat down, crossing his legs as he raised his hands over his head. He looked like a frightened child. Naruto looked down at Pickle as he heard the sound of blood dripping onto the ground and breaking twigs. He turned around to see Sasuke walking back, beaten and bloody. Burn marks were all over his body as he was holding a broken arm. Blood flowed from the sides of his mouth as he approached the group. He stood there as he looked at everyone. His eyes seemed to glare until they reached Naruto. His glare then turned into surprise as he took a few steps forward and said: "N-Naru... to?" before he collapsed to the ground.

The Next Day:

Sasuke woke up with the sound of raining still ringing in his ears. He opened his eyes to find that one was covered with bandages. He tried sitting up, but found that he couldn't do it "Need help, Uchiha?" someone asked as Sasuke turned his head to see Naruto

"Naruto?" Sasuke asked

"Who else would it be?"

"Jugo or Karin," Sasuke replied, "mostly Karin,"

"So, do you need help sitting up?" Naruto asked again as he sat against the wall looking at him

"P-please," Sasuke said, much to Naruto's surprise. Naruto walked over and helped Sasuke sit up against the wall he was placed by "You know, I think that's the first time I've ever heard you say you wanted help," Naruto commented as Sasuke scoffed

"There's a lot more that you've not heard then," Sasuke replied as he grunted in pain

"Itachi did a number on ya, didn't he?" Naruto asked as Sasuke nodded with a small smirk

"Y-yeah, guess he did," Sasuke said with a small chuckle, "it hurts to laugh,"

"Didn't it before?"

"Smartass,"

"Look at you, acting like a human being," Naruto said as he placed a finger on Sasuke's neck, "you sure you're not Sasuke?"

"Dope, who else would give up everything to kill... to kill their brother," Sasuke said as Naruto removed his finger

"Just checking," Naruto said as he sat down next to Sasuke. Sasuke looked to his right to see a window. The rain was still falling outside as he looked over at the forest that seemed to hide the Uchiha Hideout "To think, I wasted my life trying to kill someone who loved me... while yours was taken away from you," Sasuke said as Naruto smirked

"Who told you that?" Naruto asked

"Itachi... is it true?"

"Is what true?"

"That you've been in prison for no reason?" Sasuke repeated as he looked at Naruto. Naruto then huffed as he said: "Yeah, been behind bars for a long time,"

"I see," Sasuke said as he hit his head against the wall, "Itachi told me a lot of things, d... Naruto,"

"Oh yeah, like what?"

"You've got a kid now," Sasuke replied

"What of it?"

"Nothing, just never expected the kid to live long," Sasuke said, "is what I would've said if we were still kids. But looking at you now... I'd say you've got more experience under your belt than most,"

"She's only 9, I wouldn't call it an achievement," Naruto said as Sasuke laughed

"Hahaha... HAHAHAHA!" Sasuke laughed. But it wasn't an evil laugh. It was a laugh of joy. A laugh that Naruto had only hear come from his daughter "*Sigh* Still the same dope I know," Sasuke said

"Yeah, but you've changed. Look at you, smiling, laughing, it's like you've become a different person," Naruto replied as he lightly tapped Sasuke's shoulder

"Ouch!"

"I only tapped ya, stop being a baby," Naruto said as Sasuke looked up at Naruto. He leaned into the wall as he took a deep breath and said: "Itachi told me some things... Danzo... Lord Third, they gave Itachi a choice. That choice saved Konoha,"

"I see," Naruto said as he grabbed a nearby plastic bag.

He pulled a bottle out of it and set it between them. Sasuke looked at it as he picked it up with his good hand and asked: "What's this?"

"Japanese Whiskey, some of the finest that could be found here in the Elemental Nations," Naruto explained

"Is the name insinuating that there's more than just Japanese?" Sasuke asked

"Yeah, but where if originally comes from, it's just called Whiskey," Naruto explained as Sasuke handed him back the bottle. Naruto then took out two glasses and a bag of ice "Isn't it a bit early to be drinking?" Sasuke asked

"It's 5 in the afternoon," Naruto replied as he was putting in the ice

"I've been out for that long?"

"Nothing compared to my injuries though," Naruto stated

"You've got a Biju in your stomach, if anything you should've died ten times over," Sasuke said

"So you know about that?"

"As I said, Itachi," Sasuke replied as he heard the Whiskey being poured into the glasses. One was placed in front of him as he grabbed it with his good hand. He looked down at it to see ice in his. Looking over at Naruto, he saw that there wasn't any ice in his "What's the deal?" Sasuke asked

"Ah, there's the Uchiha arrogance I was waiting for," Naruto said

"Why's your not have ice?" Sasuke said

"Let's just say this is strong stuff... that and I know from experience that new people trying this stuff should drink it with ice first and slowly put in less and less as they go," Naruto said as Sasuke scoffed. He poured out the glass as Naruto shook his head. He poured Sasuke another glass as the ladder rolled his eyes "There's the emo I know," Naruto said

"Tch,"

"Don't give me that," Naruto replied as he stopped pouring Sasuke's glass. Looking down into the glass, Sasuke nodded as Naruto placed his glass between them "What are you doing?" Sasuke asked

"A toast,"

"To what?"

"To... to friends... family... loved ones... brothers," Naruto said as Sasuke lowered his glass to Naruto's

"To brothers," Sasuke said as Naruto tapped his glasses against Sasukes and down it in a single go. Sasuke tried to do the same thing, but ended up gagging as Naruto laughed "HOLY HELL THAT'S STRONG!"

"HAHAHAHA!"
