Pairing for now : One sided Sasu/Naru and maybe Ita/Naru.
This Story is edited by Cyber-porygon. Thank you very much !!!
Now up to the story !!
Chapter 1
He was on guard duty... again. He seemed to never had the chance to do anything but guard duty since he came back.
All of this was thank to those all fart of the Elder Council !
Of course, he will manage to become a Jounin but it would only be partially due to his ninja skills.
In fact if he could still be a ninja was all thanks to Tsunade who had used her prerogative as a Hokage.
The council wanted him to be thrown in Jail !
It was not his fault if an organization of S-ranked criminal wanted the Kyûbi !!
They said that it was all a question of time before he betrayed them.
Flash-Back
" Sooner or later.. " They said snickering. " He is a demon... "
They were perfectly aware that Naruto was in the room but that did not bother them in anyway. For them, he was nothing but an animal.
His hands clenched into fists and his jaw stilled, he breathed in and out loudly.
The older women turned around, glaring at Naruto.
" It had already done so much damage to the village : driving away the only Uchiha's heir with its malevolence ; Contaminating the youngest Generation : see the Sarutobi's heir had graduated the dead last of his year : UNBELIEVABLE !! It's all that demon's fault ! " She ranted pointing the red painted crocked fingernail of her left pointer finger at Naruto.
Her lips were set in a snarl letting show the few yellowish teeth left in her mouth.
" Anyway he can't be promoted Jounin without a trial. " The old man said, pursing his lips.
Tsunade glared at them, her eyebrows set in a frown ; and Jiraya sighed loudly.
" And what do you propose ? "
" A fight... " the old man said.
Tsunade raised an elegant thin grayish eyebrow narrowing her eyes at the old couple in front of her.
" If he wins, he will be promoted. If he looses, we will do whatever we may see fit of him. " The old women said, her thin pink shaped lips stretched in an evil smirk.
" Against who ? "
The old man made a single hand seal and, soon after, a young black hair guy entered the room. He was sporting an ANBU outfit, a smile obviously fake was adorning his face and his eyes were closed up making him look like a fox. His face was nothing much to remember, not a single particular sign.
Naruto glared : 'This guy has the perfect look of Shinobi, he would easily disappear in the crowd. Nor handsome nor ugly, a face to forget...'
" This is 'Sai'. " The old woman said a content look on her wrinkled face. " He is a member of the special ANBU : the Root. "
Tsunade's eyes widened : 'That's bad...'
Naruto narrowed his eyes knowing perfectly well what it meant. He would have to give it his all if he wanted to stay alive.
Flash-back End.
Since then they had made his life a living hell : he had not the authorization to go outside the village so he could not take any mission apart from late night guard duty ; they had also put a veto on him being put in a Genin team so he could not even do those boring D-ranked missions and you have to be at least a Chûnin to be a teacher in the academy.
At least he could still have a pay... and a good pay at that !! No one wanted the late night duties so they were well paid...
His lips lifted up.
The only down side that his match for his promotion was tomorrow in the early morning, he would just have to hope that nothing interesting would happen.
xXxX TIME BREAK XxXx
Three fucking hours walking back an forth in front of this stupid North Gate. No one used the North Gate anyway !
Naruto kicked the dirt in front of him mumbling some curses before turning his blue eyes to the sky.
There was no moon that night, even thought the sky was beautiful.
He sat down, putting his elbows on his knee and cupping his cheeks with his hands, his gaze wandering around the sky.
Naruto let escape a sigh the small puff of white smoke rapidly degrading in the cold early spring air.
Suddenly something caught his attention, he turned his head a little bush to the right, frowning. He narrowed his blue eyes and sniffed the air. He closed his eyes for a quarter of a second as if trying to remember something.
He stood up slowly, sliding his hands in his hidden pouch hanging on his belt behind his back and silently took out Kunai on which handle were tied explosive notes. He stepped carefully on his right ; his eyes narrowed as if he was trying to see something in the dark.
A small ruffle coming out from the bush at the edge of the forest. He throw the Kunai along an imaginary line. Then he jumped back landing back in front of the gate.
'Just hope it's not some raccoon...' Naruto thought not wanted turned himself into a fool.
He readied himself for attack, his knee bent low, his left hands a little under his chin protecting his heart and his right one's up to his face gripping firmly a Kunai, his blue eyes glowing ethereally in the darkness, seemed unfocused. His breathing was slow and steady and small puff of white smoke were coming out of his mouth.
He closed his eyes a second and reopened them his eyes focused on the small bush in front of him.
Then two of his shadow clones come out of the bush holding on a body.
It looked human, a prettily beat up human at that.
Naruto took a step up to his clones as they dragged the body up the middle of the clearing. His movements were weary, as he finally arrived in front of the body.
His heart was beating faster and faster as his blue eyes encountered the pale skin which the dark colored shirt barely hide anymore. His eyes scanned slowly up the body. His breathing stopped for a quarter of a second, his eyes widened as he recognized the face of the person in front of him.
It was covered with bruises and blood but still he could recognize this face anywhere. He had seen it in every and each of his nightmares for three years.
He brushed back the locks of black hair from the eyes of the not-so-unknown person.
" Sasuke... " he breathed, his voice not above a whisper as if he was afraid that if he spoke louder the young boy would disappear.
Naruto breathed shakily in and out, looking down at the young Uchiha heir :
His clothes were torn in numerous places and scratches and bruises covered his legs, arms and face, one could easily tell that the Uchiha had been running.
His left ankle was bent in an odd angle and the skin was an horrible blue-purple-yellowish colors. Naruto winced at the thought of Sasuke running with his ankle in this state.
He continued his examination and saw a burned going on from the top of his left shoulder to his elbow, he must have been running away seeing how the burnt were dispatched.
His eyes wandered down his hands, his eyes widen in disgust. Three of Sasuke's left hand fingers had been broken. Naruto delicately took them in his hands. He carefully studied them.
'The fourth finger is infected, it will have to be cut down...' he thought biting his lips slightly.
Contrary to every one expectation, Naruto had learned Medic Jutsu, and he was good at it !! Not that he needed it but he preferred to heal his wounds without the Kyûbi's help plus he could now help other.
He remembered the quarrel he had had with Jiraya about that.
Flash-Back.
Jiraya frowned. What the hell could Tsunade have send to HIS student ?
Earlier that day they had received a box from Tsunade with two letters, one of the letter was for Jiraya, the other and the box were for Naruto. Naruto had opened the letter, read it then he had taken the box and skipped away, a mischievous grin on his face.
Since then Jiraya had not seen the little Kitsune (1), that would be two hours ago. Not that he was worried... No, no he was not worried at all !! That meant he could happily enjoy his daily peeping on the women part of the Onsen (2)... But still what could there have been in this box ?
Jiraya glared at the fence in front of him...
Curiosity kills the cat !!
Jiraya took off glancing longingly one last time at small pepping hole in the fence of the Onsen. He took a deep breath and turned his head sharply away.
" That brat !! I'm getting way too soft... " he muttered.
He had then searched everywhere in town, in the forest bordering the small civilian village they were in. Eight hours watching everywhere, asking everyone - everyone consisting of every good looking women over fifteen and less than forty - running away from enraged boyfriends/husbands. The sun was already setting when a battered and tired Jiraya decided to stop his search for the day and return to the small Inn's room they had booked in together with Naruto.
'We had to spare our money !' The young boy had said when he had taken his frog purse away from Jiraya greedy hands.
Jiraya pushed the door of the room open, his eyes fixed on his feet, all he wanted now was Sake and beautiful women massaging his feet.
" Oi Ero-sennin ! "A voice he immediately identify as Naruto's called. " Where have you been ? "
Jiraya looked up incredulously. " Where have I been ? Where have I been ? I've been looking for you all day !!! "
Naruto stared at him his wide innocent blue eyes looking at him questionably.
" But I've been here the all day !! " he said while pouting. " Don't have to yell at me if you're not able to find me because you obviously did not looked for me !! "
Jiraya loudly breathed in and out not wanted to blew off the young impertinent brat.
" And may I ask what were you doing ? " Jiraya asked barely concealing his anger.
" None of your business. " Naruto answered bouncing happily up and down on his bed.
Jiraya narrowed his eyes at the bouncing orange clad boy, gritting his teeth. He would know what Naruto had done all day or he was not the most perverted and powerful Sannin (3) anymore !!
" Naruto... " He growled. " What were you doing ? "
Naruto continued to jump on the bed ignoring totally the Sennin. Jiraya bent down taking the sheet and tugging it violently, Naruto soon found himself meeting the floor face first.
" Oi Ero-baka, What did you do that for ?! " Naruto whined while massaging the tips of his noise, his lips set in a pout.
" Now kid, did you work on the Suiton moved I showed you ? " Jiraya asked, eyes glaring daggers at the Chibi blond in front of him ; knowing perfectly well that if Naruto had been here all day, he could not have work on his Suiton.
Naruto's eyes widened for a second, then he bent down his head in shame, his eyes wandering everywhere in the room avoiding any contact with Jiraya.
" Ugh... no... " Naruto said, his voice not above a whisper.
He closed his eyes waiting for the lecture Jiraya was going to give him.
" So, what pray tell were you doing brat ? " Jiraya asked harshly.
Naruto chuckled while massaging the nape of his neck, head slightly bow, his blue eyes fixed on the floor.
" Hey, hey... nothing important... " He whispered.
Jiraya narrowed his eye at the young boy in front of him.
" Nothing ? So what is THAT ? " He said holding a Scroll in his hands.
" Hey !! " Naruto cried trying to take back the scroll. " It's mine !! "
Jiraya skillfully avoided Naruto as the latter hung on his back trying desperately to tear the scroll away from the pervert hands.
Jiraya carefully opened the scroll discovering the Kanji and Hiragana scribbled on the paper. He immediately recognized his female team-mate's hand writing.
He slowly read the scroll, narrowing his eyes to read the tinny Furigana (4) on the right side of the Kanji. He frown.
'Medical Techniques ?' Jiraya asked himself. 'Why would Tsunade send this to him ?'
Taking advantage of the Sennin distraction, Naruto snatched back the scroll running back in his part of the room.
" Why you brat ?! " Jiraya swore.
Jiraya sighed loudly before asking : " Why on earth is Tsunade sending you medical Jutsu ? "
Jiraya narrowed his black eyes at Naruto who just stood up, the scroll kept in a death grip near his chest, his back half turned to Jiraya, glaring taggers at the fifty year old.
" Because... " Naruto answered childishly.
Jiraya closed his eyes pitching the bridge of his noise sighing loudly.
" Why ? " Jiraya asked again, his black eyes narrowed at Naruto, clearly showing that he wanted an answer.
Naruto bit his lips.
" I've asked her... " He muttered not looking at Jiraya.
Jiraya's eyes widened.
" Why ? " Jiraya asked incredulously.
" Because... " Naruto answered lamely, bowing his head down in shame. " I... "
Jiraya frowned looking at Naruto whose eyes darting away from the insistent look of the Sennin. Suddenly, Jiraya's eyes widened in realization, his face paling considerably.
" If it's about what happen last time... " Jiraya began.
" NO " Naruto yelled shaking his head from right to left in denial. " It's NOT about last time... It has absolutely nothing to do about last time... "
Jiraya looked sadly at his charge.
" It's not about last time !!! " Naruto yelled glaring at Jiraya.
Jiraya could clearly see the guilt shining through those clear blue eyes.
'Yes, Naruto really wears his soul in his eyes.' Jiraya thought smiling sadly.
" So why are you learning them ? " Jiraya asked.
" To... " Naruto began not knowing what to say. " To... To become the best Hokage ever !! "
Jiraya smiled, that was a perfect little white lie.
" Really the most surprising Ninja. " Jiraya muttered before walking back to his bed and collapsing on it.
Flash-Back end.
Naruto concentrated his Chakra in his hands and pushed it into Sasuke's body, forcing the gasp on Sasuke's leg to close up.
He sighed as he began to inspect Sasuke's body, trying to heal the most life threatening wounds.
Now he had to warn the authority.
Naruto called out two clones :
" Go warn the Hokage... I've a wounded Ninja at the North Gate. " He whispered quickly at his clones.
He turned back to Sasuke. He tore the sleeve of his black jacket, he folded it, then taking out his gourd, he damped it with water and began to wipe clean Sasuke's face.
xXxX TIME BREAK XxXx
The Hokage glanced a last time behind her at the Uchiha now sleeping peacefully in his bed.
She could not help but feel disgusted to have to help the little mongrel who had tried to kill her brother figure. She closed the door and turned to the ANBU next to her.
" No one is allowed here unless they have my permission. Not even the council's members. " She snarled narrowing her brown eyes at the two ANBU. " Did I make myself clear ? "
The two ANBU nodded in understanding, avoiding to look at the fuming Hokage.
Tsunade rapidly walked down the hall, her Hokage's robe gracefully flying behind her.
She would have to call an extra-ordinary council meeting. She had the bad feeling that the Civil council would once again play one of its dirty tricks. If only Konoha laws did not stated that, even in some of the Shinobi's matters, the two councils had to give their accord.
She sighed loudly as she opened the door of her office. She entered, looking around the room. Her brown eyes fell on the blond pacing back and forth in front of her desk.
" Hey, Tsunade-baba (5)... " Naruto said not bothering to hide the anxiousness in his voice. " How is he ? "
She was absolutely not ready for this.
" He is fine now... " Tsunade said while walking up to her armchair.
She sat down then took out a bottle of Sake and a small cup.
" What will you do ? " Naruto asked quietly, looking fiercely at Tsunade.
Tsunade poured herself a cup of Sake. She plaid with her cup, watching the play of colors as the Sake turned into the cup.
" He will have a trial... and be sentence accordingly to his crime. " Tsunade answered not looking at Naruto.
Colors drained from Naruto's face, he knew what it meant, he had studied Konoha laws : treachery was punished by death, more exactly the culprit would be beheaded in front of his peers.
Naruto shakily breathed in and out, his eyes were avoiding Tsunade's and were fixed on the corner of the desk as he racked through his head to find a way to save the one he foolishly thought as his best friend.
" It was not his fault. " Naruto declared.
Tsunade raised her head narrowing her eyes at Naruto, an expression of disbelief crossing her face.
" It was not his fault " Naruto said, slapping his left hand on the desk. " He was under Orochimaru's influence !!! "
Tsunade shocked her head in disbelief. Naruto was definitely too kind hearted to be a Shinobi. Such forgetfulness were no good when one worked as a Shinobi.
She just wanted to tell him to stop dreaming, that Sasuke had tried to kill him on his own free will, that he would surely try again. But she bit back the words. Now, was not the moment. Naruto did not need this, not now anyway.
" Do not worry for the Uchiha for the moment, Naruto. You had a fight to prepare. " Tsunade said in a cold voice.
Naruto glared at her for a second, then he remarked the worried in her eyes and the wrinkles forming on her forehead. He sighed.
" Well, I may see you at the arena, baa-chan (6) " Naruto answered, bowing in mock respect as he exited the office.
Hearing the door closing, Tsunade walked up her window, looking down at the sleeping village in front of her.
" Why do you worry so much about him ? " She asked herself out loud. " He tried to kill you... but still why do you try so much, Naruto ? "
She turned around calling upon the Chûnin who was on permanence's duty. She then walked up to her desk and scribbled words on a piece of paper. She gave it to the Chûnin ordering him to take it to all council members.
xXxX TIME BREAK XxXx
Time was up. He had to fight now.
He was tired, he could not sleep because he worried too much about the Uchiha heir's fate. But he knew he could not effort to be worried about his arrogant friend anymore. His future as a Shinobi, his freedom were challenged.
He checked himself a last time making sure he had his weapons on him. He securely warped his sword on his left side, he had not work on his Kenjutsu (7) for a good half a year and maybe he was a little rusty. But he was pretty confident that his skill would be enough for what he had in mind.
He put on his fingerless gloves verifying if the poison claws that he had hidden in, could correctly get out. Sure he could always use the ones his Demonic appearance provided him with, but then they were not poisoned and he would try not to use the Kyûbi just in case that would turn against him.
He readjusted his hitai-ate on his head, slowly breathed in and out and stepped inside the arena.
The arena had been rebuilt after the Sound and Sand attack the very same then before.
Naruto was nervous but he could not afford to show this to his opponent so he decided to simply put one of his grin on his face and skipped seemingly excitingly inside the arena and stopped in front of Sai who was waiting in the middle of the fighting area.
" Ready to have your ass kicked !!! " Naruto proclaimed loudly, grinning ear to ear.
" Whenever you want, dick-less... " Sai answered in a monotone voice.
" You... " Naruto growled, narrowing his eyes at the dark hair boy in front of him.
But before he could say more, Tsunade cleared loudly her throat. Naruto turned around, his eyes fixed on the Fifth.
" Fine since the two warriors are here. Let's begin !! " She yelled before puffing away joining Jiraya and the councils members.
Naruto did not bulge, his blue eyes narrowed at his opponent, he slowly breathed in and out calming his raging nerves. He could not effort to be the first to attack. This Sai person had surely had access to his files and knew him or at least his twelve years old self good enough to take the advantage. And the stalker had followed him all week, scrutinizing every and each of his movement. Plus he really did not wanted to give his skills away.
Naruto sighed, he would have rather not fought.
Sai on the other hands was looking at him quizzically, his head slightly bent on his right side and his eyes shining with curiosity.
He slowly raised his hand. Naruto immediately tensed, putting his right hand on his sword handle and his left holding the scabbard.
Sai slowly opened his mouth : " I abandon. " He said, his voice echoing in the nearly empty stadium.
Naruto could only watched him speechless. He could not understand his opponent's decision.
" WHAT ? " Hotaru roared as she walked as quickly as her old short legs would carry her down the narrowed stair leading to the fighting area.
She stopped in front of Sai stretching herself trying to tower him, her tinny eyes narrowing at the young Shinobi.
" What does that mean ? " She spatted clearly showing her displeasure.
" You've asked me to evaluate him. I've done that. And I found him fitting to the title of Jounin. " He said smirking at the old decadent woman in front of him.
Hotaru's face deformed in anger her hand was lift ready to slap the impertinent brat.
" You never said that we actually had to fight. " Sai added with a cheerful voice.
This was the last straw, Hotaru gathered her strength and throw her hand ready to slap the mongrel. But her hand never made it to the face of the young ANBU. She turned around ready to blew at whoever had the impudence to grip her wrist. Her eyes widened as they land on Yamanaka Inoshi.
" No, no ,no. Hotaru-sama. No need to resort to violence. " Nara Shikaku said in his quiet deep voice while slightly moving his head from left to right.
" This is done. Uzumaki Naruto received here and now the title of Jounin of the Village Hidden in the Leaf. You shall protect it with all your might. " Tsunade said quickly before looming over Naruto's still form.
Naruto looked around still not believing what had just happened, he had prepared for a week for this fight... and there was no match ? He just stood there, eyes wide and his mouth slightly opened. He did not know if he should be happy or not. But he certainly felt disappointed. He had wanted to fight, anticipated this fight and then nothing ?
" ...Can't do. " Naruto muttered.
Tsunade pushed herself away from Naruto's body, looking at him with dread. She simply knew that Naruto would never accept this so easily.
" This can't do. " Naruto said loudly, while glaring daggers at Sai.
" What dick-less ? Want a fight ? " Sai taunted.
Naruto narrowed his blue eyes at the smiling ANBU in front of him.
" I'm not dick-less... You... You... Mummer !!! " Naruto yelled angrily pointing at Sai.
" Is that an insult, dick-less ? " Sai said his smirk widening.
" Argh... " Naruto yelled while rubbing his hair with his hands.
Tsunade smiled at Naruto's antics. She really loved the brat.
Naruto suddenly gripped Sai hand and without letting time for Sai to realize what was happening, he dragged him outside the arena.
" It's time to celebrate ! " Naruto yelled while dragging the shocked ANBU behind him. " Let's go to Ramen !!! It's the Hokage treat !! "
But sometimes she really felt old...
xXxX TIME BREAK XxXx
Sasuke opened his eyes to a white blur. He blinked his eyes several times before his vision came back to normal. He tried to move and found that apart from his all body aching, he was restrained by thick leather manacles on his ankles and wrists. He tried to use his Chakra to get ride of the annoying handcuffs that were anchoring him to his bed to no avail.
He sighed. At least he was alive. But where ?
" Finally awake, Uchiha-san ! " An unfamiliar voice said.
He turned his head to the left, trying to ignore the pain throwing through his head and saw a black hair woman worrying herself at his side. He narrowed his eyes watching suspiciously every and each of the young woman movement.
From what he could see of her graceful and accurate motions, she was a ninja, surely a medic since he was probably in a hospital.
" Wh...Where ? " Sasuke said in a rasping voice.
The young woman immediately approached a glass of water, tipped it up making the liquid glide down his sore throat.
Sasuke couched a little when the water went through his breathing tube, the medic quickly withdrew the glass.
Sasuke breathed in and out.
" Where am I ? " he asked again.
The medic-nin returned to tend his wounds. Not even glancing at him before answering.
" Hokage's special medical wards. " She answered quietly.
" K-Konoha ? " Sasuke shocked out.
" The Hokage should arrive soon. I have already warned her of your awakening. " The short hair woman said as she tugged the sheets.
Just at this moment, the doors burst open. A Tall blond big breast woman entered the room, her white Hokage's robe flying elegantly being her.
" Uchiha Sasuke. " She said in a dark low voice, hatred dripping off of each words. " You are under arrest. You will not leave this room nor have any contact with the exterior until your trial which should take place as soon as I see fit ! "
Sasuke resisted the urge to roll his eyes. How the hell did she wanted him to wander outside, when he was attached to a bed with Chakra eating straps ?
'Woman are all stupid or shallow or both...' The Uchiha heir thought as he turned his eyes up to stared at the ceiling.
He growled as he saw the dark hair woman approaching, a syringe in her hands, she pulled it a little and drops of the transparent liquid in the squirt trickled down the needle. She sized Sasuke arms, pulling it rather violently, her left hand gripped firmly his fore-arm and she pushed the needle into the vein inside his elbow. He stared at the transparent liquid entering his blood stream. He tried to disengage his arm from the grip of the medic, but found himself weaker and weaker, his eyelids slowly dropped, he tried to fight back the effect of the drugs to no avail.
How he hated not being in control !
