*Naruto's Point of view*

"How did you contact Sasuke Uchiha?" Kiba asked Gaara, with a gun pressed to his head.

My partner probably noticed that I had stay silent and he stepped in to ask the valuable questions that had slipped my mind because I was so focused on finding the Uchiha.
The moment I heard that Gaara's gang was after him and that he could possibly be killed by them..

Just put me in a state of worry..

I caught myself dazing out again, and snapped out of it. I focused on the interrogation but Gaara stayed silent, simply staring dead into Kiba's eyes. The gang leader still had no fear lingering on his face, not a single ounce of it.

This ticked Kiba off.
He frowned and gritted his teeth, "I'll ask once more. How did you contact Sasuke Uchiha?"

"Here's why I don't need to spill the truth. I'm not afraid of death." Gaara finally broke his silence.

Kiba smirked, putting the gun down. "Alright, buddy. Clearly, I see that. I'll give you a reason to tell me what you know."

Gaara looked at him, almost interested in what my partner had to propose.

Kiba cut Gaara's arms free with a switch blade he had in his pocket. This startled me, but before I could call out to him..

"You and I are on the same side. We both want Uchiha dead." Kiba whispered into Gaara's ears as he withdrew himself after cut the restrains that bounded the leader's hands behind the his back.

Those soft words echoing the basement
Dead..

Gaara had a blank stare towards Kiba, almost as if he was scanning through and digesting his words. It took a few seconds but Gaara finally nodded, agreeing with Kiba.

"I didn't find Sasuke Uchiha. He found me. He came to me, at midnight when I was asleep. He knew where I lived and killed everyone on guard that night." Gaara slowly rose from the ground, twisting his hands after they were tightly bound.

I had so many questions to ask when I heard what he said. Why would Gaara set up a man hunt over one now-powerless person? What exactly did Sasuke say to him? Why didn't Sasuke kill Gaara in his sleep that night? There has to be a reason why that crazed Uchiha kept him alive.

My head was riddled with millions of questions, and the more I thought of it, the more nothing made sense. My questions would lead to more unanswered questions.

While I was trapped in my head again, Kiba remained calm and continued with the interrogation.

"But.. Why would a leader of a gang that size be afraid of one rogue person? How is he a threat to you and your empire?"

"Remember.. The scary thing is, he was alone that night." Gaara answered, hitting us with the horrifying truth.

He's right..
Sasuke killed all his men that night, alone.
Gaara's gang was relatively great in size and men. He would have had at least 50 men in the building that night.

.. And Sasuke killed all 50?

"What the fuck does he want from you?" I finally stepped forward, demanding to know the answer. He went so far, it has to be for a reason.

What the fuck did he say to Gaara exactly?

....

"He wants me to kill someone named Naruto Uzumaki." His eyes looked up, focusing at me.

"...And you must be Naruto Uzumaki." He continued sharply. His index finger pointing directly at me.

Gaara was quick witted. Despite me not introducing myself, he guessed it.

Sasuke trying to kill me? He's been trying for months. Then he suddenly took off and now, he actually assigned someone else to finish the job?

Coward.

He was able to take down 50 men at once. Was he afraid to get to me because he knew my organization had more people on guard?

Coward...
I despise him! I fucking hate cowards!

If he wanted me dead so bad, why let me live when I ended myself..

Did he want me to die by his hands?

Then why disappear..

"... So what of it? You're going to try and kill me now?" I took another step closer to him, pressing my forehead to his index finger.

His hand dropped to his side, he shook his head slowly. "I will not run his errand. I don't see a need to."

"Sorry to break it to you, but only of us is leaving the basement alive. It's either you or me." I grabbed Kiba's revolver, but before I could fully grasp the gun, Kiba pulled away unexpectedly.

"No. Let him go. Sasuke might find him again if he knows you're still alive." Kiba reasoned with me. And he definitely knocked sense into me. Why is it that the more hung up on the Uchiha, the more senseless and illogical I've become?

At this rate, I am in no position to be a Leader if I continue to make such rash decisions.

Maybe Kiba should take over my position..

"You're right." I retreated from the impulse attack and proceeded to exit the basement.

I watched Kiba dragging a blind folded Gaara out from the second story of my house. I placed my cigarette between my lips before lighting it up.

What's happening to me?
Recently, I've been making too many mistakes. If this continues, Sasuke Uchiha could easily take over my throne again..

Everything is always about him, huh..

Even if he's gone, he's still fucking with me.
