Repentance

- Teacher! - Naruto looked for who called him that time, whenever he spent some activity it was like this; the girls were the ones who had the most doubts, it was funny to see that some had the courage to try to seduce him. If Sasuke knew for sure he would have to hear hours and hours of a monologue about the relationship that a teacher had to maintain with his students, Uzumaki disagreed a little with the fact, felt that the students would become closer if he himself decided not to be so hard.

- Yes? - He directed his attention and approached one of his best students, it was appreciable to see his dedication in everything that was involved. Sai was an exemplary student, despite the fact that the blonde did not understand why Sasuke felt a little uncomfortable talking about him, when he had time he would ask Haruno, maybe she knew something.

- I decided to follow your advice - Rosada spoke confidently before drinking another sip of coffee, when she learned that today was Uchiha's day off she couldn't help calling him to share the "news", in most of the Sometimes the only subject present was the people with whom he lived and who had done something that should become a public interest, today, however, Sakura had not even remembered that, she felt she needed to tell someone about her new "love".

- Did you talk? - Sasuke asked showing a slight interest, he was also a little surprised, he had thought that the sudden interest of his friend was only a passing thing, however, he was gradually showing himself to be more dangerous and stronger.

- Not yet - The answer was followed by a negative nod, Haruno's voice contained a hint of frustration - But, who knows soon? - It was really very rare to see her indecisive and even hesitant, I couldn't deny that the most striking characteristic of her friend was the fact that she always tried to act with her heart.

(...)

- What's the director's problem? - Uzumaki's voice contained a hint of irritation, and it was no wonder, he felt totally tired and most of the blame was due to the fact that the director ordered him to deliver all the notes as soon as possible. Naruto could already see the amount of coffee he would take to stay up all night and thus be able to finish what was missing.

- Maybe it's age, how old is Mr. Sarutobi, about three hundred? - Rosy spoke on the phone, now she was ready to sleep, or at least that was what she craved, because Uzumaki didn't seem at all willing to stop complaining - And shouldn't you be finishing your job? - The rosy spoke in a sleepy voice.

- This is all to get rid of me, I feel totally hurt, see? - Naruto spoke with false indignation, making a dramatic face, even though the friend could not see his expression at the moment.

- It is to stay really, so leave me alone ... It will disturb Sasuke that he hears your lamentations.

- It is three o'clock in the morning, he is already asleep - The blonde heard a growl from the other side, he did not know if the rose was angry or was next to a dog. The first option was the most correct, but it would not be healthy to ask.

- You know what, I'm going to sleep too. GOOD EVENING! - Rosy did not wait for an answer before ending the call, she would speak to Uzumaki the next day.

(...)

- You are so bad Sakura-chan ... - the blonde spoke in a dragging voice, he hadn't slept at all last night, and he just couldn't tell if he wanted to look at the director's face, he couldn't bear to see him sadistic smile again - I had so many cool things to tell ... - It was logical that it was just a bluff, deep down Uzumaki just wanted to get revenge for the fact that he had been ignored the night before, and there was no better way to that than messing with her friend's weakness, it was evident that the pink girl hated not knowing something, even if it was the simplest gossip.

- Now that it has started it has to end! - Haruno failed miserably to try to hide the growing curiosity.

- I don't think he has anything to tell - Uchiha said entering the teachers' room, he had heard the last part of the conversation. And when it came to her boyfriend, she knew very well that he was only joking, despite the fact that her friend seemed to believe faithfully.

- You fool! - Sakura grunted and then threw a book at the blonde, who didn't even have time to dodge effectively.

And at the moment there was a red rose of anger, a blond practically passed out due to the attack and a brunette holding his laugh. Sasuke only had to be thankful for the fact that he had gotten wonderful people and that he could certainly count for a lifetime. Even with all the oddities, they were a team after all.

The city looked totally different from what it used to be, only a few years had passed and yet it seemed like centuries. From the moment he arrived, he didn't have much time to look around; he was more concerned with reestablishing himself again and getting some work.

Now facing the place that was present for most of his childhood and adolescence, he did not let out a sad sigh. It seemed a little late to be sorry for everything he had done; he was ashamed just to remember the harm he had done to people, mainly because he was a manipulable person, and at that time he would do anything to remain integrated in any group. Even breaking the heart of a person who deserved none of that.

Hurting the first person who gave him a look that showed no fear or indifference was unforgivable, especially since that person was his "first love". He hoped with all his heart that at least he would be truly forgiven; he might be being selfish in wanting this, but he felt that by receiving forgiveness he could get rid of all the weight he still felt in his heart.
