Helloo. I'm going to continue this story because I've always wanted to write something like this. Despite how Naruto has ended and what Masashi has done to Gaara's hair, Sasunaru runs through my blood! I'm going to start making longer chapters because tbh, I skimped on the first two.

Chapter 3

Naruto woke up to the sound of heavy pouring rain. His hands and feet bound together by ropes. "Oi, bastard. You tryna cut my circulation off?" Sasuke glared at the blond who was on the other side of the cart. "That's not how you address a noble, peasant." Sasuke said. "But don't worry I'm sure by time you'll learn your place at the palace." Naruto scoffed. "Yes, your highness." Sasuke smirked seeming to have missed the sarcastic tone in Naruto's voice. Soon they'd be at the palace anyways, things would finally get a little more interesting. Naruto rolled onto his back and stared at Sasuke. "Why am I going to the palace with you anyway?" Why he decided to take the blond there? He didn't know. His father would probably be baffled by it, since he never brought back any hostages. "Hey bast-" Sasuke scoffed. "Oh stuff it." Naruto smirked. Sasuke gazed out of the cart's window. He glanced at the blond. "We're almost there." Naruto cheered wryly. Naruto chuckled and sat up straight to look out of the window. He expected bad, but not this bad. The people looked miserable, hell the place itself looked miserable. He gasped as the horses almost ran over a little kid who was playing with his friends. He quickly turned to look at Sasuke. "Who drives your carts? pigs? You almost ran over a bloody kid!" Sasuke's expression remained calm and unchanged. "So?" Naruto grit his teeth. "What do you mean 'so'?" Naruto screamed in frustration. "Your driver almost killed a kid!" Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "And?" Naruto sighed heavily. This guy was infuriating. "So taking land isn't enough, you need to take lives of your own people as well, huh?" Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed and he shut his eyes. "I'm being rather patient with you, however I can't promise you that other people at the palace will tolerate any of your blabber." Naruto laughed sarcastically. "Oh shoot, better behave."

A few minutes later, the cart stopped. Sasuke glanced at Naruto. "Just..be smart." Naruto shrugged. Sasuke sighed and got off the cart. Naruto was pulled out of the cart and pushed onto his knees. He looked around and whistled. The palace was huge and the garden was just as impressive, there was almost every flower in every color there, a massive pond and a few Sakura Trees scattered here and there. A man walked up to Sasuke and bowed. He had dull looking pink hair that was styled to look like a cherry blossom. "Welcome back, my lord." Eyeing Naruto. "Kizashi." Sasuke began while motioning the guards to bring Naruto over. "Starting today he will be working here. A slave, a servant I do not care." Kizashi gave Sasuke a puzzled look but bowed his head. "Yes, your highness." Naruto snickered and in a moment he was kicked from behind by a guard. "His majesty is in the sitting room, he's waiting for you." Sasuke nodded and walked into the palace.

He walked up to the sitting room's door and slowly knocked on the door before twisting the knob. He bowed on his knees. "Father, I have returned." Fugaku nodded, smiling. "Rise." Sasuke got up. "Father, I have successfully claimed all the southern plains."Fugaku nodded, not eyeing Sasuke. He walked towards a wall with his hands behind his back. "Sasuke." Fugaku started, not taking his eyes off the wall. "We're going into war soon, I do not intend on staying peaceful with Tokohu. Sasuke's eyes widened and he got onto his knees. "Father, I beg you to reconsider your decision, we have continuously lost against Tokohu in the past.. I believe staying at peace is the best for us." Fugaku scoffed angrily. "We lost because I assigned him as the major general with my soldiers under his command." Fugaku's eyebrows furrowed. "I don't suppose you will make the same mistake, Sasuke?" Sasuke stared down at the ground, still on his knees. "No.. but-" Fugaku turned around to look at him, scowling. "Are you my son?" Sasuke's lips parted, inhaling slowly. "Yes." Fugaku smiled in satisfaction. "Then you are to fight in war against Tokohu as Shisinai's major general." Sasuke clenched his fists. "Father-" He was cut off by the opening of the room's door.

Fugaku grinned as Kizashi entered. "Ah, Kizashi!" Kizashi smiled and bowed. "My lord." Fugaku walked towards him. "Ahh don't be silly, rise rise!" Kizashi nodded and glanced over at Sasuke. "That kid you brought with you is causing quite a ruckus, he has been assigned to work in the kitchen." Fugaku eyed Sasuke. "Kid?" Kizashi blinked a few times. "Oh, has Sasuke not told you that he brought someone with him?" Fugaku frowned. "Sasuke, why have I not heard of this up until now? Also, you're letting him work at the palace? Could be a spy Sasuke! Let me see that boy!" Sasuke's head snapped up. "He was just wandering in the grasslands! Judging by his mentality he can't possibly be a spy! Father, we haven't quite finished speaking about Tokohu.. I beg you to give it more thought." Kizashi shook his head. "Sasuke, this is Shisinai's chance to strike. Do you know what taking over the central plains will do for Shisinai?" Sasuke's eyebrow's furrowed as he slowly got up. "More land, but do you realize what Shisinai has sacrifice in-order to get that land? How much soldiers we'll lose? How much of our land will be destroyed?" Fugaku nodded. "Sasuke has a point Kizashi.." Kizashi looked up at Fugaku. "Your highness, We are being deceived. They must have had a reason to ask for peace when they were clearly ahead in war! They're ridiculing Shisinai!" Kizashi snarled. "If we fight and win, we prove to be strong and take over the central plains!" Sasuke parted his lips in an attempt to speak but was motioned to stay silent by Fugaku. "I will think this through." Kizashi bowed. "Your majesty is wise." Sasuke bowed and walked out of the room.

The raven sighed as he walked through the palace halls, every now and then someone bowed to him. He could sense mixed emotions from every person at the palace. Fear, hate, resentment. "Sasuke-kun!" A loud shriek echoed through the hall, followed by hurried footsteps. Sasuke's arm was yanked backwards. "Father told me you returned! I have waited for you every day by the door." Sasuke nodded at her in acknowledgment. "Hello, Sakura." Sakura smiled sweetly. "Oh by the way.. that boy you brought with you is causing quite a hassle. Why did you bring him anyways? He.." Sasuke clicked his tongue and groaned. "That idiot.." Sasuke rushed towards the kitchen. He could already hear the blockhead's voice and he was two floors away. Sasuke stormed into the kitchen to find the blond held by his shirt and about to be punched by Teuchi, the imperial cook. Teuchi quickly let go of Naruto's shirt and walked towards Sasuke. "Your highness, I can't work with this child, he's got something to say about everything!" Naruto rolled his eyes. "Tch, Look what you're throwing away! All that food you could use it to make a bloody feast!" Teuchi snarled. "Look kid, this is how it is here. They eat and what's left gets thrown away. We don't reuse food."

Sasuke rubbed his temples. "Then feed it to the servants, don't throw it away!" Teuchi's eyes widened. "Feed servants what? Royal food? Are you dense?" Naruto looked at Sasuke and before he got the chance to speak, Sasuke put his hand over Naruto's mouth and dragged him out of the kitchen. Naruto's muffles didn't quite down till they reached the garden. Naruto bit Sasuke's finger and the raven yanked his hand away. "What are you, seven?" Naruto glared at Sasuke. "Fuck you." Sasuke raised his eyebrows in amusement. "Oh?" Sasuke stared at Naruto's face, he's clearly gotten punched several times. His face was bruised and bloodied. Sasuke sighed. "Do you think I brought you here so you could give us a lesson in ethics?" Naruto flushed and stared at the ground. "One would think royalty would at least possess even a little moral integrity." Sasuke sat down by the pond and motioned Naruto to come. The blond walked towards Sasuke,he sat down and dipped his feet into the pond. "So as I was saying the food-" Sasuke poked Naruto's forehead. "Shut up." He noticed a few drops of blood trickling down the blonde's forehead and he slowly moved his hand towards Naruto and lifted his bangs. Sasuke blinked a few times and started laughing. There was a scar along the blond's forehead, he must have really gotten Teuchi, which was certainly a rarity. Naruto's eyebrows furrowed. "Do you honestly think that by picking fights with the cook you're going to change how things are?"

"Well at least I'm doing something, your majesty." Naruto paused for a few seconds. "It's beautiful here therefore you don't see a problem, but outside these walls your people are dying of hunger and poverty, they're miserable." Sasuke slowly got up." That's life. There's the rich and there's the poor, there's the fortunate and there's the unfortunate." Naruto rolled his eyes. "And what makes them inferior to you?" Sasuke's eyebrows knitted together, he was starting to get irritated with the blond. "I fight for them, I acquire more land for them." Naruto let out a wry laugh. "So that makes it okay for you to run over them with your horses and turn them into ground beef? What's land to them when they end up-" Sasuke cut Naruto off before he could finish. "I don't suppose they've hired you as their spokesman and again, I didn't bring you here to debate about ethics, know your place. Get to work and don't get into pointless fights with the Teuchi." Naruto smirked as Sasuke began to walk away. "Alright, but you shouldn't expect the people to be quiet about this forever. Them revolting at any time is a high possibility, especially when there's so many of them and very little of you." Sasuke turned around and locked his eyes with the blond's. "I don't assume they'll have much time to worry about that, not when we're in war." Naruto's eyes widened and his breath quickened. War.
