The sun was barely rising when a dark headed figure entered the home of Konoha's most famous ninja. It had been just three days since Naruto had dragged Sasuke kicking and screaming back to his hometown. His arrival had stirred quite a lot of trouble within the ranks of Konoha's elite. It was finally decided that he would remain alive but unfortunately he also had to prove he was trustworthy and useful. Therefore he needed to start again from the lowest rank and perform all the tasks required in order to advance to the next level, even low class missions that he found to be beneath him. Frankly, it was more than humiliating for Sasuke who was used to glorious battles and complicated strategies. That is why he decided to see Naruto. The blonde claimed they were friends again so he could surely help him get out of this predicament. He knew nothing of his other former teammate but then again, how much of a help could Sakura be? He was not in the mood for her tearful confessions and unwanted advances. Better to avoid her presence for as long as possible.
Without knocking, he enters his friend's bedroom. Naruto raises his head and stares at Sasuke with sleepy eyes. "Huh?" he says, more than half asleep. "I need your help" Sasuke calmly states. Suddenly a mop of pink hair emerges from the covers. "What the fuck are you doing here?" the pink blob mumbles, buried under the blankets. The deserter stares at Sakura who throws the covers away and stretches her long body on top of Naruto. One of her shapely legs is thrown over his and Sasuke cannot help but notice her well toned ass and her more than developed breasts that can be clearly seen through her white top. He slowly backs away from the room, unable to formulate a reply.
Half an hour later Naruto is making coffee while his friend continues to stare at him. "Do you live with…her now?" Sasuke asks. "Yea. Made no sense keeping both our houses so I moved in with her last year" Naruto says, his eyes lighting up as he turns around to see his lover, now dressed in one of his shirts making her way into the kitchen.
"You still here?" Sakura growls while throwing herself into one of the chairs. "Good morning" Sasuke replies, his eyes tracing the ANBU tattoo clearly visible on her shoulder. "It would be good if you were gone." Naruto hands her some coffee while she continues to mumble in her mug about rats and morning sex. "You have to excuse her, she's not exactly a morning person" the blond states, smiling as he ruffles her hair. "So what do you need?"
"I need you to convince the Hokage that making me do all those low level missions is ridiculous. I am one of the best ninjas in the country. Surely my skills could be put to better use!" Naruto scratched his head and answered "Wish I could help you buddy but I don't have that kind of influence. Sakura, on the other hand might be able to help. She is after all Tsunade's apprentice." Sasuke raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "Pfff….like I would ever help that rat!" Sakura snorted "He was given this punishment for a reason. I am not going to make his life easier!"
