If Our Roles Reversed (REMASTERED VERSION RELEASED+ DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 18

Naruto regained his consciousness as he woke up and got up from his bed." Naruto....". Pein called him, Naruto looked behind him and bowed to his knees." What do you need, Lord Pein?". Naruto asked." Since Itachi died, and that battle between you and Sasuke was brutal enough to take away half of your chakra, we shall all attack the leaf..". Pein explained." And what should i do when this day comes?". Naruto asked." Rest Naruto....we have a far more important mission for you..". Pein explained, Naruto nodded as he climbed back to his bed, Pein exited the room as he headed to Tobi." You explained to him, am I right?". Tobi questioned." Indeed, we will first strike the leaf, and soon, when Naruto regains his powers, we will train him to control the power of the nine-tails". Pein explained." And we shall attack the Hokage summit". Tobi replied." What makes you think there will be a hokage summit if we attack the leaf first?". Pein asked." It's very simple, the leaf will come and beg for help from other villages, whenever the time is right, we will strike". Tobi explained." Seems like a good plan". Pein replied, as he went to brief the other Akatsuki's the next mission, while on the other hand, Naruto listened to the conversation Pein and Tobi had." I don't care if you'll use me...as long as the leaf's in ashes, I'll be satisfied..". Naruto told Tobi." Very well, have it your own way, Naruto". Tobi replied....
*Later at the Leaf*
Sasuke kept standing infront of his families grave, still thinking of what he has seen, still thinking about his brother, Itachi." How could I've been so blind?...". Sasuke thought to himself, the rain dropped silently as he stood wearing his coat, then the pink-haired conichi Sakura, stood beside him." Sasuke...". Sakura said." Sakura-Chan...do you remember all of these times when I ignored you?". Sasuke said, looking up into the sky." Y-yes Sasuke....you were trying to push me out, I was really annoying, wasn't I?". Sakura said." But....Sasuke, I knew the truth about your family's death...about your brother". Sakura said." What about it?". Sasuke said." It...it just...hurt". Sakura said." I'm very sorry for what you've been through, Sasuke...". Sakura said." And I'm sorry that I couldn't keep my promise...". Sasuke said, sincerely." Promise? What do you mean?". Sakura asked." I couldn't bring back Naruto countless of times, I broke that promise many times already...". Sasuke answered." Sasuke...". Sakura said, she pulled into an embrace as they both hugged." It's alright...one day he'll come back, and he'll say these two words: thank you!". Sakura said, encouraging Saskue." Thank you...Sakura-Chan...". Sasuke said." Come now Sasuke...everyone's wondering where you are now...". Sakura said, as they both went together to where everyone was." Itachi....I miss you...one day we'll reunite as a family again...". Sasuke thought to himself.....
*with the nine-tails*
"I understand, Rikudo-sama....". The kyuubi said to the sage of the six paths." Kurama....you have to help Naruto escape his own evil, they are preparing him for a suicidal mission that might get him killed". Rikudou explained." Very-well, sensei, I will do my best". Kurama said, the sage smiled as he slowly faded." I have faith in you, Kurama...". He said, as he completely faded.......
IMPORTANT NOTE: there won't be any SasuSaku, they will only have a strong bond and friendship, that's it, Sasuke won't be paired with anyone.
