No POV

As Naruto left Kumo, his decision to find Sasuke became on the forefront if his mind. So, he started thinking up a plan. He knew, Orochimaru wouldn't give up Sasuke without a fight, and Sasuke most likely wouldn't come along without one either.

He smirked as a plan came to mind. Then he cast his shadow clone jutsu, making nearly a hundred clones go in different directions, all knowing their purposes. Naruto then made camp and decided to get in a nap before his meeting with Sasuke.

Short Time Skip

He was awoken to memories flooding his mind. Two clones dispersed after finding their targets. One was Sasuke and Orochimaru. The other was Orochimaru's base. Naruto dispersed all remaining, besides one. Then he left to the location of Sasuke and Orochi-pedo.

On his way, he took in the sights of the forest. And when he arrived at the spot, he moved into the clearing and said, "Hey Sasuke, its been a long time. I heard you abandoned the village not to long after I did."

Sasuke looked at Naruto, at first with hatred, then with sadness. "Naruto..."

Naruto rolled his eyes and grinned as he said, "That's my name, don't wear it out." He then looked to the snake and said, "Hello Orochi-pedo. I heard about you from Pein and the others. Honestly. Taking children after you've killed their parents and then using them for your own means. That is just cruel. And that's coming from me."

The pedo-snake smirked and said, "So what if I killed their parents. Their just a means to an end anyways."

Naruto's grin grew as he asked, "Even the medic kid?"

Orochi chuckled and said, "Of course! Kabuto is the one I care for the least!"

Naruto then chuckled and said, "I figured."

Sasuke then spoke up, finally escaping his shock, "Naruto, what happened to you? I still remember what you showed me that day. Did it really all happen?"

The blonde looked Sasuke in the eyes with his own crazy ones and said, "Of course it was." Naruto then heard a beat begin to play in his head, so he began to sing.

My friends don't walk, they run
Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun
Popping, popping balloons with guns, getting high off helium
We paint white roses red
Each shade from a different person's head
This dream, dream is a killer
Getting drunk with the blue caterpillar.

The snake was giving a confused look, and Sasuke looked worried. Naruto let his grin grow as his Kyuubi chakra began to evaporate his skin.

I'm peeling the skin off my face
'Cause I really hate being safe.

He scratched the skin off his face as the last of it evaporated.

The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane.

Naruto began to act how insane he truly is. Jumping next to the boys, looking into their eyes crazily. Leaking KI.

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy, all the best people are.

Sasuke's face gained a twinge of fear as Orochimaru thought, He truly is insane. Not only are crazies fun, but they're dangerous.

Where is my prescription?
Doctor, doctor please listen
My brain is scattered
You can be Alice,
I'll be the mad hatter.

Naruto was focusing more on Sasuke, which allowed Orochimaru to begin to walk away, slowly.

I'm peeling the skin off my face
'Cause I really hate being safe
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad,
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are.

Naruto noticed Orochimaru escaping and gave him his best comletely-psycho look as he walked towards him slowly. He even cracked his neck to the side.

You think I'm crazy, you think I'm gone
So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are.

He caught Orochimaru and pulled him back to his original position before turning back to Sasuke.

And I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone
That's probably the reason that we get along.

Sasuke shook his head rapidly, his face completely revealing every ounce of his fear. Naruto smirked.

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad,
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy, all the best people are
All the best people are crazy, all the best people are.

Naruto cracked his neck back into place and allowed his KI and kyuubi cloak to recede as his skin began to heal. Sasuke fell backwards onto his arse and Naruto smirked.

Then, after about 30 minutes, Sasuke collected himself and stood up. Orochimaru had just stood to the side the entire time, wanting to watch it all play out. Then Sasuke said the words he had been expecting. "Lets battle."

Hey everyone, i bet your wondering why he kept one of the shadow clones out. And why he wanted to know where Orochimaru's hide out was. Well, you'll find out next chapter. Vote, comment, and share. See yah then.
