"Why? Why was it Naruto?! He's a fool! How could he of won against Kakashi? He beat me only when I was about to lose. He couldn't beat me in a normal bout." Sasuke thought these thoughts as he held up some wooden beams that were being nailed together.

"Thanks Sasuke," the carpenter said, "You can relax pressure." Sasuke let up. This had been his lofe for the past three days after being completely checked over. He hated feeling inferior to Naruto. Now the difference between them was extreme.

"I should of been the one to have that power," Sasuke mumbled as he looked down the street to a break area. As he gazed, his eyes narrowed. Naruto and Sakura were coming along. Sasuke walked towards them, at maximum height.

"Yeah I hope so," Naruto said in response to Sakura's reply, "And hope you can be with me on them." Sakura blushed and looked down the way.

"Naruto, let's take a side street," Sakura said quickly as Sasuke approached.

"Why?" Naruto asked, before looking down the street. He saw Sasuke and the look on his face. "Oh, no."

"Do you want to fight him?" Sakura asked as Sasuke came ever closer.

"No, but I won't run either," Naruto said. Sasuke finally came to a stop in front of them so they had to crane their necks back all the way just to see his face.

"Naruto, Sakura, you're in my way," Sasuke said. Sakura looked at Naruto, waiting for some response.

"Oh sorry Sasuke, we didn't see you there," Naruto said, moving to the side, "I hope you have a nice day." Sasuke grinned his teeth. He bent down and picked Naruto up by his collar.

"You really think you're better than me? You beat me in an unfair fight," Sasuke said quietly.

"Sasuke, let him go!" Sakura yelled.

"Unfair? You were the one who was corrupted at 20 feet," Naruto said, "If you had won, you would of gotten even worse. If you lost to Iruka, we all would of been screwed."

"And you knew you could handle it?" Sasuke asked.

"I swore I'd be Hokage. I had a reason to fight the control. You want power to defeat Itachi. Who do you think had the higher resolve?" Naruto asked. Sasuke began breathing deeply and quickly.

"Shut up," he yelled, "You aren't my better!"

"At normal size fighting, maybe, maybe not," Naruto said, "But in a test of wills, I am." Sasuke's hand began to shake. Without warning, he threw Naruto hard and fast at the Hokage's office.

"Naruto!" Sakura yelled, racing after the flying boy.

"Shit!" Sasuke thought at what he had done.

As Naruto flew through the sky, he thought on what to do. "Should I stay this size and hope for a rescue or grow and prevent damage?" he thought.
