In a spar

Naruto could never, not even in a million years, have foreseen this. Almost a week later, it was the first time he saw his rival after Teme had conspired with his mother to break Naruto's will. All because Sasuke had some stupid ANBU mission that took several days to finish.

And now... Now they were in a very unthinkable scenario. Shirtless Sasuke, panting, and sweaty, had trapped Naruto against the ground using his own very toned and powerful body... On a clearing... Surrounded by all of their friends.

Naruto was red like a tomato.

...

It all began a few hours early when Naruto met Sakura. His mother had all but kicked him out because she was still working on seals.

So he talked with Sakura and, after a while, she told him how several members of the Konoha Twelve were gathering on training field eight for a taijutsu spar.

And so he went.

It was lots of fun, obviously, since it wasn't every day that the old crowd had a chance to gather like this anymore. Everyone had their own assignments nowadays, so it was nice to replay the old classics once in a while, Lee and Neji fought each other into a ferocious draw, while Naruto had a chance to kick Shino's ass. The bug guy wasn't all that good in close combat.

All went well, until...
