[It's late enough that he knows there is no one awake that will hear or disturb them, which is why he opens the door with a smile - holding back his excitement in favour of trying to get the job done.
He's still not sure why it's Sasuke he feels like he needs to punish first. All he does know, is that he wants it done. Now.]
Eh, come up yeah? It's kinda-- I don't want anyone else to hear or whatever, y'know?

[Sasuke behaves exactly how he wants him to, and the fact that he goes off ahead makes this so very easy that's it's tempting to hold off for a moment.
He doesn't. The chance is right there, and the need to get this done rises quickly enough that the moment they get inside his bedroom he pushes the door closed, and makes a grab for Sasuke, one arm around his neck. The other already contains a kunai, and he manages to push it into the space between his friend and the wall he's just shoved him up against.]
That was too easy.

That was too easy.
[The outburst, he expected, and the struggle that goes along with it - but he's not going to give up. Sasuke's strong enough to be able to break free from this if he tries hard enough, and that means he's going to have to make this quick.
Not instant though. The opportunity to run his kunai over Sasuke's throat and kill him right here and now has been open to him from the moment he pressed that blade to his 'friend's' skin, whatever holds him back isn't uncertainty or nerves - quite the opposite.
Despite the incredibly uncharacteristic desire to kill his best friend, the bond between them is still strong - only that seems to make it more of a thrill to keep the Uchiha guessing.
Adrenaline helps him keep Sasuke pressed up against the wall, with a hip pressed against him to force Sasuke's lower body forward, his hand however, gently pushes up to expose more of his neck.]
You're gonna die. Right here.

[They've fought a countless number of times, but it's never been like this. He's thriving on the adrenaline, mostly because weeks without sleep should have taken their toll on him, and in some ways it has - but he still had the energy borne of some twisted obsession with following Thiazi's will.
Sasuke's retort falls on deaf ears, mostly because in his heart - Naruto has the strongest feeling that Sasuke is wrong about all this.]
D'ya think I'm stupid?
[It's tricky, but he's right behind Sasuke and in just the right position to shove himself more firmly against him, not only forcing his 'friend' harder against the wall, but also restricting any movement of those arms.]
I said you were gonna die, y'know I never give up right?
[Which is when he tips that kunai, just enough to slice Sasuke's skin just beneath his jaw. It isn't enough to claim his life, but plenty to make sure Sasuke knows he's serious.]

[He knows that he's about to have a fight on his hands from the moment Sasuke hisses, aware of the fact that he had definitely broken the skin, and that he needed to step up his game instantly.
Not that he has any intention of letting there be much time for a scuffle. He'd had the advantage from the moment he'd pinned his friend to the wall, and perhaps should have seen the quick movement of Sasuke's head before it happened.]
Aassshit!
[The pain that exploded across his forehead was instant, and was definitely enough for him to be compromised, if only for a moment.]

[The pain that exploded across his forehead was instant, and was definitely enough for him to be compromised, if only for a moment.]
[He's quick to try and return to an even playing field, grappling for the kunai with his knee pressed against the back of Sasuke's leg.
With a growl, he grabs hold of Sasuke's wrist instead, shifting his shoulder to force Sasuke onto it.]

[The knowledge that his 'attack' was successful comes when he feels Sasuke freeze against him, which is moments before he reaches down with one of his hands, grinning at the feel of hot, sticky blood that can only belong to Sasuke.
It's the only time he actually chooses to let Sasuke 'win', but both arms uncurl easily from Sasuke, slipping away from him to give enough space to step back too.
Not that he stops there, whatever Sasuke is trying to do it doesn't work - of course not. It's not just the fact that his friend is weak, but there's a higher force at work here that neither of them have control over.
He wanted to see though, which is why with his bloodied hand, he reaches out again, grabbing Sasuke by the shoulder to pull him away from the wall, and shove his back against it instead.]
Oh boy-- that's a lot of blood, y'know.

[It amuses him, in this state, to hear those kinds of sounds from Sasuke. Knowing that he's inflicting pain feels like enough to satisfy the things he was supposed to be doing for Thiazi, but there is something much more important that he needs to accomplish here.
Unfortunately, he knee in his stomach puts a damper on that notion for a moment - but it's brief. He still has enough wits about him to jump back before he's kicked too hard.
He's stronger than Sasuke, and he knows it, which is why he's not too worried about whatever attacks might come next, but if he stands his ground he might just get to see Sasuke bleed to death.]
You need a l'il somethin' else t'take you out or are y'done?

[It's funny-- because he knows the truth. Sasuke is so very done, and his pathetic attempts to make it stop are feeble and pointless and everything Sasuke would hate to be.
Yet here he is.
Smirking, he takes a few steps closer, reaching forward to grab that hand as it makes a move toward the sword, shoving him back against the wall whilst he leans in closer, but not enough that he would get any of that blood on him.
The kunai's back, but used merely as a tool for pointing with. He doesn't think Sasuke would have the strength to do any damage any more.]
Nothin' t'say?

[The struggle makes this all that much more enjoyable. The evidence is there, in that look in his eyes, but he's not done - apparently.
Hearing Sasuke finally say something is a reward, and for that, he backs off. Sasuke is about to die, so he feels no need to do any more damage. Instead, he curls his fingers into the fabric of his shirt, helping to hold his friend up whilst he talks at him.]
Are you scared?

You're gonna be dead.
I'll have killed you, and this whole City is goin' up in flames.
There's nothin' you could do to stop it now, and you won't be able to next time either.
[He's not sure what he's counting. Sasuke might come back, he guesses that's the rule here so he very likely will but what he'll come back to, Naruto doesn't know. None of them know really. The one-track thinking isn't helping him to process any idea of the aftermath of this, but then even if he could give it thought in his current state it really doesn't matter.]
See ya, Sasuke.

[It's sadistic, but he waits, actually crouches down to be able to watch as that last breath leaves Sasuke.
The satisfaction is overwhelming... but his job isn't done.
He doesn't wait-- but leaves incredibly casually out of his bedroom.]

337! (Because that's totally plenty of time for you to calm down, Sasuke.)

Hey, Sasuke?
I er-- there's this awesome place I found. It sells like-- steaks and stuff.
You wanna check it out?
