The morning is breaking.

Some rays of the sun shine through Naruto's window and blind him.

Naruto slowly gets up, yawning and with his eyes closed.

He goes to the bathroom and washes his face.

Suddenly the mirror collapses in front of him.

Naruto is frightened and is wide awake immediately.

A throwing star was to blame that the mirror broke.

Naruto looks around.

> No ninja in the apartment. Must just be one or more outside! <

Slowly and quietly he looks out of the small window.

> Man! Fortunately the window was wide open, otherwise I would have to replace something! <

He looked out the window from left to right, but there was no one to be seen.

When Naruto looked closely at the throwing star, he noticed that there was a note attached to it.

He opened his eyes wide.

You could read fear in them.

Just as it was about to flee through the door, it was already too late.

A powerful explosion hurled Naruto through the wall.

Fortunately, it ended up on a cart full of pillows.Sakura, who was just coming down the street, ran quickly to him.

"NARUTO !!!! Everything okay?" she asked as she leaned over him.

Naruto still held his arms protectively around his body.

He read slowly and lay down on his back.

"That was close ..." he said in a slightly frightened voice.

Sakura looked at him worried.

Then she looked up at his apartment.

The bathroom was totally broken.

You could even see something from the other room.

Sakura looked over at Naruto.

> Naruto ...


At Konaha headquarters.

The Hokage Tsunade is doing some paperwork right now.

"Hokage-sama !!" Sakura bursts in through the door.

She calmly puts aside a pile of leaves.

"Yeah, I've heard it before." she says in a serious voice.

Sakura looks a little surprised.

"I have something to talk to you about." she finally said.

Sakura had no idea what the Hokage wanted to discuss with her so important."It's about Sasuke!" answered the Hokage Sakura's questioning look.

"W..What about Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked Hokage Tsunade a little oppressively.

"Did you hear anything new about him, Hokage-sama?"

"Yes ..." she confirmed to Sakura in a low, serious voice.

"He's here, Sakura! Here in Konoha!"

She looked at Sakura with serious affection.

"He ... he's here? What? W..Where? Where is he in Konoha? In the hospital? Or ..."

"He's here ... but not as a friend." interrupted Hokage Tsunade Sakura.

Sakura caught her breath.

"As an enemy? ..." Sakura thought softly.

"He's here on behalf of Orrochimaru. Our ANBU found that out."
