*Naruto's point of view*

I was stood in front of Sasuke's mansion to see it was now for sale. He really did leave. But where to?

I found myself balling up my fists, squeezing them in anger.

Dammit Uchiha! I didn't need your rescue or your pity! I would have taken revenge on you. Just because you're showing me some humanity you have left in you, that doesn't mean I will forgive and forget everything you did to me.

I will always remember what you did to me.

"Argh!" I slammed my fists against the mansion's gates he once owned.
Fuck you, Uchiha.

I came home to find Lee on his knees again, reporting to me that him and the gang could not find a trace of that damn Uchiha.
"Sorry, boss. We have failed you again."

"I repeat, don't call me your boss until you find that Uchiha." I stormed back into my room, slamming the door behind me.

I am absolutely shattered by betrayal. I couldn't call them my men again. I would have allowed Sasuke to return them to me after using them. None of them had a sense of loyalty. I couldn't accept the fact, after running this empire for so long there were no one true to me besides Kiba and Sai.

Sai..

Ever since I was fucked with drugs, I haven't seen him since. So I got my butt off my bed, and my mind out of my thoughts. Pulling my shit together, I went to visit Sai again. I stopped at the entrance of his ward.

I inhaled deeply before swinging his door open.

He looked at me, surprised.
"Thank god.. Naruto. You're alive." Sai muttered slowly, with a smile growing from ear to ear. "Sai.. you're awake!" I ran up to hug him tightly. ".. You have no idea what I went through and how much I missed you." I squeezed him tighter, tears almost brimmed my eyes. Tears of joy and relief.

A week passed and I stayed by Sai's side, telling him about the hell I went through because of Sasuke Uchiha.

Kiba entered the ward, I could smell my favourite food being brought in.
"Ramen!" I cheered.
"Let's eat in celebration of you getting discharged tomorrow!" Kiba distributed our share and we all started digging in, talking and laughing like the old times together.

I was slurping my ramen when Rock Lee rudely interrupted us. Dashing through the doors, "Bos- ..Naruto! The same guys that attacked Uchiha while you were unconscious, attacked us again!" He yelled in rage.

"Wouldn't Sasuke have taken care of them? Who are they? Daring to strike again." I chewed and swallowed my big bite of noodles, before asking calmly. I felt like a fresh boss that has taken over the company, unaware of how the previous boss ran it.

"No. We didn't investigate or retaliate." He informed me.
I raised my eyebrows, surprised. Sasuke was ruthless.. Why would he let them off?

... Lee said when I was unconscious. So it had to be recent. Why didn't he finish them off? Was it because he knew he was going to hand it over to me?

What an irresponsible bastard.

"Find whoever that did it and bring one alive to me. Kill the rest." I signaled him to leave us alone. If Sasuke doesn't know how to run a gang well, I'll just have to show him.

Tsk. But right now, it's like I'm cleaning up his mess that he refuses to take care of.

What the hell does he take me for?
I'll find you and kill you, Sasuke.

"Hey, actually.. let me do it. I've been missing out on the action."

"More like missing in action." I coughed out, trying to hold in my laughter. He hooked his arm around my neck, "Let's go, shall we?"

"Wait.. We?" I sighed, as it was too late. Kiba was already dragging me out of the ward.
"Be careful, Sir Naruto!" Sai called out.
"Don't worry! I made a promise to bring you home tomorrow. And I'm a man of my word!" I replied, as I was dragged out into the hallway. My voice echoing through the silent hospital.

Kiba lit a cigarette as we reached the east district. It wasn't just one bar, it was almost five of them in the east area that was robbed of money, alcohol and our women. How the hell did Sasuke allow this?
Doesn't he know that if we don't do shit about it, assholes will take this opportunity to step all over us?

One of the bars were even set aflame.

This district used to fear me.
Do they take me for a fool now?

Great timing to fuck with me, I've been dying to do this.
