5Little Sasuke, now four years old, stood in front of his closet in his underwear, frowning as he looked for his favorite blue t-shirt and black shorts. He'd told his mother, boldly, not 10 minutes ago, that he could get dressed himself. thank you very much. But now he had to fight the urge to call for her.
"Sasu chan," Sasuke turned towards the window just as a flash blinded him. He blinked, trying to gain focus, only to find little Naruto looking through the window with a camera in his hand and an extremely cheeky grin on his face. It took a few seconds for the implications to sink in. When it did little Sasuke took off after a raspberrying blond. A few seconds later he came back, grabbed the first t-shirt and shorts he could find and flew back out again.
His blond friend had become incredibly troublesome as he grew, Sasuke realized. He'd shed his adorably clueless personality and turned into a fiend. Naruto, at the age of four, was impossible. He wreaked havoc wherever he went. He was impossible to catch because of his boundless energy and he lived to make Sasuke's life miserable it seemed. But he was going to get even with his best friend, Sasuke thought as he tore through the bushes looking for him.
He found him a few minutes later, staring intently at a pouch he held in his hand. Sasuke's eyes widened as he realized it was Itachi's kunai pouch and that directly below lay a pile of shit.
Naruto's grin broadened as he dropped the pouch into the pile.
"NO!" Sasuke screamed as he ran to save the bag, but was not quick enough. With a sickening plop it dropped into the pile. Sasuke looked at the bag in despair just as he heard Itachi's growl all the way from his room. And before he knew it, small tan hands grabbed his, and they took off into the fields, Naruto laughing like a maniac.
They ran for long before crashing onto the grass. They lay there flat on their backs staring at the clouds above. Sasuke would have hell to pay for what Naruto did back there, he knew it. He wondered what he could do to get even with the blonde.
"Sasu chan," Sasuke turned around to find Naruto crouching beside him holding a flower. He sat up and raised an eyebrow when the blonde offered it to him.
"Sasu chan, you're my best friend, and you'll always be no matter what happens," Naruto said with a wide grin.
"Will I also always be your best friend?" Naruto asked. The raven blushed but nodded.
"No matter what?" He nodded once again.
"Sasu chan, may be it is time I tell you that….that I stuck your naked picture in Itachi's drawer!" Naruto laughed and took off once again, a furious raven on his tail.
At the age of four, Sasuke discovered, Naruto had also developed an obsession; an obsession with him.
They were sitting by the lake, Sasuke with his feet dipping in the water and Naruto on his stomach swinging his legs behind him, when he made the proclamation.
"When I grow up, I'm going to marry you," he said.
Sasuke blushed furiously. "Baka Naruto, I'm a boy. You have to find a girl," Sasuke replied.
"But you're so pwetty Sasu chan!" Naruto replied with a wide grin. "You're prettier than all the girls I know. Even Sakura chan."
The next day, Naruto forced Sasuke into a little girl's outfit and chased him around the house trying to force him to wear the ring he'd got with his candy as well, claiming that everyone should know who he belonged to.
Mikoto and Kushina couldn't stop laughing at this, much to Sasuke's humiliation. Yes, Uzumaki Naruto was a handful indeed, when he was four years old, but their mothers couldn't stop cooing at their little angelic devils and their antiques.
They would grow up quickly, they knew. Their older sons were nine years old now and attending the academy. They knew it wouldn't be long before their little ones followed suit. So they enjoyed what little time they had with their babies. And in the meantime, they could collect material for future blackmail purposes, Kushina smirked evilly, as she clicked yet another adorable picture of the two holding hands, Naruto with a lollypop in his mouth.
There was no doubt as to who's son Naruto was, Mikoto mused as she watched her best friend click away.
