Risks I Take for You
Well here's a brand new story for you all to read! I've been on a Naruto kick lately and I think that's all I should write, my HarryxDraco story is proof of that. Well anyways this story will contain mpreg in later chapters. Enjoy.
Frustration…no shock and slight anger were the only words that could describe the feelings coursing through Naruto as he stared at the grinning face of Tsunade.
She was lying to him, it had to be a lie.
"What did you just say?" he asked, barely able to control the trembling of his voice.
He wasn't going to let this get to him, not after all these years.
Tsunade sat back in her chair, the grin on her face turning serious after seeing the expression darken on the blonde teens face.
"I said, Sasuke was spotted in a village near Konoha. I'm sending you along with Kakashi and Iruka on a retrieval mission."
The tiny hope that she had been lying died inside him at her words. He was crossing paths with Sasuke once again, their last encounter being only four months ago.
He was tired of this cat and mouse game and after his last experience, he was done.
He didn't want to chase Sasuke anymore, but the world was forcing him to. If he had deliberately been looking he would have never found him.
The world was cruel.
After moments of staring at the floor in complete silence he glanced up at Tsunade meeting her eyes.
"I can't do that, find someone else to chase him down I'm through." The strain in his voice was evident, it took his all not to yell the words at the woman in front of him.
She leaned forward resting her chin on her hand, studying Naruto's expression carefully.
When she had told him this news nearly four months ago, he had nearly jumped around her office.
Where had all the shouts about bringing the dark haired teen back gone?
The boy in front of her never shifted his gaze, he was completely serious.
She narrowed her eyes in confusion, not understanding the situation in front of her.
"Why can't you take on this mission? You've been chasing after this boy since you were twelve, I thought you would be happy he's so close."
Blue eyes narrowed farther, creating an almost scary expression on the teens face. Gritting his teeth he threw his hands up in frustration.
"If I bring him back, he'll be thrown in jail or executed. I don't want that, I'm not going to bring him here just so he can be killed!"
Anger coursed through him, making him want to throw or hit something to get his point across. He wouldn't watch Sasuke die, at least he was free as a fugitive.
Tsunades expression turned to sympathy, she understood Naruto didn't want to hurt his friend further, but Sasuke was a wanted shinobi and needed to be captured at once.
Enough time had elapsed as it was. They couldn't afford to waste anymore, there was no telling what Sasuke's next plan was.
Her expression turned stern,"I'm sorry Naruto, but this is an order, you know Sasuke better than anyone. With you on the squad theres a better chance of him being caught, Iruka and Kakashi will be going with you and you will bring me Uchiha Sasuke."
Knowing there was no point in arguing he nodded, "Yes Hokage-sama."
"You'll be deployed tomorrow at eight a.m. sharp, you're dismissed."
Without another word Naruto walked out of her office, anger flowing off him. Tsunade watched him go leaning back in her chair and sighing. She knew Naruto was angry with her, but he would get over it. He was a ninja under her control, he needed to learn his place.
She knew the boy cared about his friend, but a criminal was a criminal and they needed to be brought to justice.
-Naruto and Sasuke in love from the start-
Naruto walked the streets of Konoha hands in his pockets and head down. Thoughts swarmed through his head making it ache. He wanted to bring Sasuke back more than anything, but that wasn't the best thing for Sasuke.
He didn't want to bring Sasuke back just to watch him die. He understood the things Sasuke had done, he understood the Uchiha teen better than anyone because they shared the same pain.
Loneliness.
Loneliness was what bonded them, what made them understood each other. He refused to capture Sasuke just to watch him die. The village wouldn't understand what Sasuke was feeling or why he had done the things he had.
Frustration gripped him once again, what was he going to do? Four months ago he had been so close to bringing Sasuke home, but in the end he let him go.
Would he be able to weaken Sasuke again or would he slip away?
Then there was what Sasuke had said, he had told him—
Naruto stopped in the middle of the street quickly pushing the thought away, that memory hurt too much to think about.
Why couldn't his life be simple?
Looking around he noticed he had stopped right outside Kakashi's apartment building. He laughed to himself his feet always seemed to know where to lead him.
Kakashi answered on the second knock, peering calmly at him over a copy of Icha-Icha paradise.
"I figured you would show up here I take it you've received your mission from Tsunade?"
Naruto nodded in reply stepping past Kakashi into the living room. Sitting down in a chair he laid his head in his hands completely exaughsted from the events of the day.
"I can't bring him back; I don't want to see him killed."
Hearing the pain in his former students voice Kakashi set the book on a nearby table, moving to the kitchen to make tea for the both of them.
When he walked back in Naruto was still sitting on the couch head in his hands, he carefully sat the tea down hoping the boy would drink it and relax.
"What am I going to do Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto groaned, lifting his head.
"I realized if I brought him back, he'd be killed or imprisoned. He's too far gone."
Kakashi took a sip of his own tea thinking about his reply to the boy, but what could he really say that would make everything better? They were ninja and nothing was ever easy in the world they loved in.
Then like a switch had been flipped he remembered information he had received not long ago, a plan started to brew in his mind a plan that might be able to buy them some time.
"Maybe there is something we can do." Kakashi voiced taking a seat on the worn chair across from Naruto.
Naruto's hopes lifted, "I'll do anything to save Sasuke."
Kakashi could only hope that was true, "Nothing about this plan is going to be easy, but before I make you agree let me tell you what it is."
Naruto nodded his attention focused on his former teacher.
" A year ago when Sasuke killed Orochimaru Anbu were sent to recover documents and look into the forbidden jutsus he was creating. Most of the documents they found were reports on the many experiments he was performing on the prisoners. They mostly had to deal with the curse mark, but there was one that stood out among the others."
"An experimental male pregnancy."
"A what?" Naruto asked not completely sure he had heard the grey haired ninja right.
Kakashi continued without answering. "That experiment was found in Sasuke's file, from the report it was a successes and Orochimaru was very pleased."
"Woah woah wait!" Naruto shrieked waving his hands in the air. "You're telling me that somehow Orochimaru made it possible to get Sasuke pregnant? What would be the point of that?
A mental image of pale dark haired snake babies slithering around crossed his mind, he wanted to gag. He knew Orochimaru was sick but he never thought that he would go as far as making Sasuke have his babies.
"Damn he's once sick person." He said feeling the need to throw up increase.
Kakashi nodded, "Every three years his host body would wear out and he would have to find another one. He had planned on using Sasuke just because he wanted the sharingan, but he realized that Sasuke's body would wear out too and he would need another one."
Slowly the pieces started to click in Naruto's mind, "He wanted to have children with Sasuke so he would have more host bodies with the sharingan right?"
Kakashi nodded, "It's a sick idea I know, but that's why he made it possible to Sasuke to conceive. Though I don't know if they ever had a child together or not, but if you can impregnate him it could buy him some time."
"What do you mean?"
"If a female ninja is captured as a criminal and set to be executed she's allowed to live long enough to have the baby before she's killed. It's a long shot but if you can impregnate him it could buy him some time."
Bile rose in his throat, Kakashi had just suggested that he knock up Sasuke. He couldn't be serious, there were already flaws in the plan he was suggesting. Like what if Sasuke couldn't get pregnant at all and plus he didn't think Sasuke would go along with this willingly.
Kakashi took a deep breath across from him grey eyes clouded over with uncertainty, "I know it's a long shot but you may be able to buy Sasuke some time.
Naruto but his lip, what other option did he really have? It was either this or watch Sasuke be executed because he dragged him home.
With shaky movements he stood up from the chair, turning his back to Kakashi he headed for the door.
"I can only hope this will work." He said before walking out the apartment door.
-Risks I take for you-Beginning of a plan-
He padded into his apartment later that night after spending a few hours wandering around the village, trying to clear his thoughts but not even a walk seemed to be helping.
Throwing all his ninja gear in a corner he threw himself onto his bed. He didn't even bother to turn the lights on, the light of the moon would suffice.
His thoughts were still focused on the plan Kakashi had just presented to him. He knew it was crazy and t He wouldn't be able to live with himself if Sasuke had to die because he dragged him back.
He sighed deeply trying to rid himself of frustration, but his mind continued to focus on the problem at hand.
He groaned throwing himself on the bed and putting an arm over his eyes.
What was he going to do?
As his eyes slipped closed the memories of his last encounter with the Uchiha sprang to life behind his eyelids.
His bloody kunai lay at his feet he was too tired to hold onto it any longer. His breathing was labored as he glared at the dark haired teen sitting against the rocks in front of him, blood dripping from his eyes and the cuts on his arms.
They had once again met in the valley of the end, fighting until Naruto had finally backed Sasuke into a corner. The eyes that angrily stared at Naruto were black; his last bit of energy had faded leaving him too weak to hold the sharingan. Naruto's body was also weak and ached from being in sage mode for so long, but he willed himself to move toward the Uchiha.
He slid down the rock to settle beside Sasuke, the move earning him a glare from the dark haired boy. Naruto flashed his trademark grin, "Looks like I finally beat you Sa-su-ke." He sing-songed still grinning.
Sasuke's glare faded, they had almost killed each other and here Naruto was sitting beside him and acting like they had a friendly spar.
The idiot.
"Tch, yeah looks like you did." He said without realizing it. He wanted to smack himself for complimenting the idiot, but beating him is what the blonde always wanted. Who was he to deny Naruto the happiness from reaching his goal?
"Are you going to drag me back home now?" Sasuke asked, noticing the blonde's smile.
His blue eyes clouded over, "No I don't want to bring you home anymore."
Frustration flooded through the Uchiha teen, "Then what have you been chasing me for?"
He lowered his voice, "You risked your life fighting me for what? What's been the point?"
Naruto sighed leaning back on the rocks, "to prove I could beat you I guess or maybe just to see your face again."
Sasuke was taken aback by that comment. Did the blonde really miss him that much?
"I thought you hated me." Sasuke said. Naruto turned his head sharply, "I've never hated you, I understand you more than anyone I—" He stopped mid-sentence afraid he'd say something he would regret.
Hearing Naruto say that made something twist inside him. He'd know Naruto cared about him, but…damn when had he cared about others feelings?
"Naruto wh—" his sentence was cut off as a pair of lips crashed into his. His mind screamed at him to pull away, but his body responded to the kiss.
Closing his eyes he melted into the kiss with Naruto. When they pulled apart Naruto just stared at him, a small smile on his lips.
"I love you." Sasuke blurted.
"Naruto! Naruto!"
He didn't have a chance to respond it sounded like the voices of Kakashi and Sakura were coming closer.
He scrambled to stand dragging Sasuke up with him, "Go." He whispered shoving the Uchiha away.
Sasuke hesitated not sure what he should do, but the gaze that Naruto's blue eyes held forced his legs to move and right back out of Naruto's life.
Naruto's eyes fluttered open from the dream, the last scenes of it fading. What he had gotten himself into by falling in love with an Uchiha?
"I love you too Sasuke." He whispered into the night, before turning over and going back to sleep.
-Naruto and Sasuke in love from the start-
The bright light of the sun woke him up hours later, chasing any remaining memories away. Mindlessly he took a shower and got dressed, trying not to think about his mission.
After breakfast he headed out the door, unable to keep the mission from plaguing his thoughts any longer.
Kakashi, Iruka and Tsunade were already waiting on him by the gate.
"I said eight sharp, even Kakashi was here on time." Tsunade said, harshly.
Naruto made no comment to her just went to stand beside Kakashi.
"Brat." Tsunade thought before turning to face the trio.
"Once again your mission is to capture and bring me Uchiha Sasuke." She turned to look directly at Naruto, "There is absolutely no room for error this could be our last chance."
Naruto nodded, "I understand."
Tsunade looked at all three of them sternly. "You have two months, you're dismissed."
With that they took off into the forest, beginning the plan that had been put into place. Naruto closed his eyes taking a deep breath.
"I won't let you go this time. Please forgive me, Sasuke."
