Depend On Me
Chapter 4: Detective Uzumaki
"Shikamaru! Wake up damn it!"
Letting out an exceptionally long groan Shikamaru stirred from his supposed five minute nap.
Naruto, who was carrying a tall stack of papers, glared at his lazy pony-tail headed friend. Shikamaru just let his head drop back onto their desk with a hollow thud.
Yes, their desk, because their boss was too cheap to buy two.
"C'mon Shika! I wanna get this done already and go home!" Naruto whined and dropped the heavy stack of papers on their desk. He pulled up a chair and sat down beside Shikamaru. The brunette merely lifted his head sluggishly off the table and stared at his clearly irritated blond partner.
"We're stuck with paperwork while the other detectives are out having fun with solving crimes-"
"And eating donuts." Shikamaru added in casually. Naruto disregarded his comment and continued on with his rant of the day.
"-that those 'bad boy' cops can't! I wanted to rub it in their stoic faces that we're better! But noooo, stupid Tsunade and her 'this is the most important job we have and you two are the only ones who can do it' my ass! Stupid old hag!" The blond detective fumed angrily, slamming down a sheet of crisp white paper in front of him and jotting down a few necessary words.
"We're detectives in training. We're not supposed to solve crime yet." Shikamaru reminded, resting his head on his hand with a heavy sigh of boredom and glancing at the large windows that were right behind them.
"Shino does!" Naruto exclaimed while pouting.
"That's because he's good and he's scary." Shikamaru regarded before tearing away his eyes from his only escape to freedom. The blond beside him did not relent though.
"But we're just as good, if not, even better! They just haven't seen us yet! And by the time we're real detectives and not detectives in training, we're gonna be the best of the best! Believe it!" Naruto pumped a fist in the air while Shikamaru watched on, uninterested.
"Cute catch phrase but I doubt it ever happening."
There was a sudden shrill ring and Naruto jumped in his seat, his earlier anger completely forgotten as he plucked the phone off it's receiver. He held it up to his ear.
"Detective Uzumaki speaking." Naruto chirped happily while leaning back against his chair and propping his legs on the table nonchalantly.
"Get down here right now, Naruto."
The blond frowned at the familiar harsh tone of his chief.
"Where exactly do you want us to go?" He questioned while raising an eyebrow.
"901 Brudge Street."
Naruto furrowed his eyebrows and sat up.
"Isn't tha-"
"Yes. Now shut up and get over here."
The line went dead and the blond pouted, placing the phone back to it's original state and heaving himself off of his comfortable chair. Shikamaru gave him a look and Naruto gestured with his hand to look out the window.
"Tsunade said 901 Brudge Street."
It made Shikamaru stand up and stick his face to the window, trying desperately to peer over the many obstacles that prevented him from seeing down the street.
Both of them exited the office, walking at a brisk pace out of the station and practically running down the street. They turned a corner and skidded to a halt, their eyes bulging.
About five police cars were clustered in the middle of the street, policeman were positioned outside the house the crime had obviously taken place in. People from the neighborhood were taking peeks outside from their windows while others were standing in their front lawn and openly watching the scene.
Shikamaru held the yellow tape which read 'Crime Scene: Do Not Cross' in thick black letters up and let his blond companion duck underneath to step into the restricted-only premises, the brunette following closely behind. They flashed their badges to one of the policeman stationed at the door and stepped inside.
They took in the rather neat surroundings of the living room, nothing showed out of the ordinance. Everything they came across in the kitchen and in the bathroom looked relatively normal, it was only when they entered the main bedroom did everything take a turn for the worse.
The body of a middle-aged man was laying in a pool of his own blood. The blue carpet underneath him sucking in most of the crimson liquid. There was a large gash on his neck, and his skin was a sickly pale. His eyes were wide open, showing how before death he was scared out of his wits.
"There was an obvious sign of struggle here." Shikamaru remarked casually as he eyed the shards of broken glass on the far right end of the room. Drawers were all over the room and books were laying haphazardly on the ground.
"They were looking for something." Naruto added while crouching down and studying the dead man's clammy fist skeptically. There was hurried footsteps coming their way and the blond stood up.
"You can't be in he-" The sentence was cut short when the man who had spoken choked on his own spit.
Naruto waved his hand lazily toward his father while Shikamaru took his badge out from his inside coat pocket to flash it in Minato's face. There were another pair of footsteps coming their way and they all turned to watch as their big breasted chief strode over to them.
"Naruto, Shikamaru, I'm glad you two could make it." She said with a strained smile and Naruto scoffed.
"Well, seeing as how we had nothing better to do than your paperwork." The blond grumbled sourly with a scowl firmly etched on his lips. Behind him, Shikamaru smirked while stuffing his hands in his pockets coolly.
Tsunade felt her temple throb and she refrained from punching her only two available detectives. She let out a frustrated sigh and pushed past Minato and stood beside the corpse.
"This was a murder if you idiots haven't noticed. So I suggest you don't stay fresh with me unless you want to be kicked off this case." She growled and Naruto pouted, crossing his arms over his chest while muttering a soft "sorry" under his breath.
Tsunade smirked and continued on.
"This is the fifth killing this week and it seems Akatsuki is getting restless. The reason I brought you out here was because you are the only two who aren't busy and we need all the help we can get. I trust you'll put your skills to good use and not let me down?" She gave them a stern look and they both nodded.
"Well, I'll leave you to it then. I've stationed Minato here in case you need anything." She gestured toward the stalk still blond man and swiftly took her leave. Naruto frowned and stuck a hand in his pocket, taking out a pair of latex gloves and pulling them down on his hands with a rubbery snap.
He crouched down and Shikamaru went around to look for any possible evidence. Naruto pursed his lips together as he pried the stiff fingers of the dead man's fist one by one. It wasn't as hard as he had speculated since the corpse was still fresh.
Once the hand was open all the way he plucked the thin, wispy strands of white hair away from the dead man's grasp. Holding it up in front of his face to get a better perceptive of it Naruto took out a plastic back from his other pocket. He dropped the possible evidence inside and zipped up the bag securely.
"I wonder why they didn't catch this and dispose of it right away..." He mumbled to himself before standing up and looking at what his lazy friend was doing.
He eyed Shikamaru suspiciously while the other talked in a hushed tone to his father. They kept glancing every so often toward his way until Minato caught him staring and immediately shut up and looked the other way. Shikamaru sighed and calmly made his way to his blond partner who was glaring at him.
"Don't look at me like that." He chided while flicking Naruto's nose playfully. The blond sniffed and scowled.
"What was that about?" Naruto finally asked while gesturing to his father who suddenly took a vast interest in the wall. Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders and put a hand on his friend's shoulder reassuringly.
"Nothing you need to worry your idiotic little head about." He stated simply before rushing out of the room with Naruto hot on his heels, yelling profanities at him and telling him to stop. Minato trudged slowly behind.
"You better take that back, you lazy-ass! I'm telling Ino on you, dammit!"
"We may have found a possible lead on who the culprit is."
Tsunade smiled at the blond fidgeting nervously in front of her. She sat up in her chair and intertwined her fingers together, resting her chin on top of her knuckles. She eyed both detectives with something akin to pride.
"Really now?" Tsunade spoke as if mocking the two of them. Naruto growled and narrowed his icy blue eyes at her.
"Yes, really."
The head of the police department smirked before waving her hand for them to show her what they had managed to find. Naruto held up the plastic bag and she frowned.
"Where is it?" Tsunade questioned while squinting her eyes to see if she could find whatever it was inside the bag. Naruto sighed and jerked it roughly straight into her face.
"White hair, you old hag."
The blond ducked down to the ground immediately and watched as the picture frame whizzed past his blond spikes. Unfortunately, the door to the office had been opened and it hit Obito on the shoulder. The man cried out before turning around to flip his blond chief the bird and then scurrying off to hide behind Kakashi.
"I request a DNA analysis on this, chief." Shikamaru finally spoke up, stopping the blond woman from throwing another object at the raven.
Tsunade nodded and promptly plucked up the phone and quickly pushing a button. She said a few things into the speaker that they cared not to listen to before she hung up. The blond woman sighed tiredly.
"The requested DNA analysis will be done in one to two weeks time. Go ahead and give it to Shino and he'll lock it up for you." With a simple wave of her hand she dismissed them and they left.
"Do you think...do you think this is too good to be true?" Naruto whispered as he walked slowly next to his lazy partner. Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders and frowned.
"Who knows. I can tell though that all of this seems fishy to you too." The blond nodded in agreement and before he could reply his head collided with a something firm and warm.
"Ah, Naruto. I was just looking for you." A deep voice said making Naruto's eyes brighten up instantly.
"Yamato-taichou!" The energetic blonde cried while spreading his arms wide and wrapping them around the brunette's waist.
A few desks away from them Raidou looked at Kakashi's crest-fallen face and nudged him with his elbow.
"Looks like somebody's been replaced." Raidou whispered snidely and snickered into his hand when he saw Kakashi's glare aimed at him.
"Replaced by my own student, too." Kakashi groaned in disappointment and hung his head low. To his left, Genma was stomping his foot and pouting childishly.
"How come everybody else gets a hug but I don't!" He whined and Itachi joined them with a smirk tugging at his lips as he watched Minato from afar with an expression of pure agony who was so close to tears.
"You're not the only one Genma. Minato hasn't gotten one in two days." Genma stared wide-eyed at Itachi and gasped dramatically.
"No!"
"Naruto!" Another voice bellowed and everybody turned to see Jiraiya walking toward the happily grinning blond with a joyful smile on his face and a small notepad in his hand that didn't go unnoticed by Naruto.
"Haha! You old pervert! Same old Jiraiya are you?" The white-haired man just ruffled Naruto's hair and grinned back at him.
"I see you haven't grown much since I last saw you! You're still as short as always!" Naruto glared at him and crossed his arms defiantly.
"I'll have you know I grew three centimeters taller!" Naruto shouted indignantly which made Jiraiya just chuckle and nod.
"So what's this I hear about you and the sloth over there finding a lead on the Akatsuki?" Jiraiya questioned with all seriousness. Naruto couldn't help but put on a pearly-white smile.
"Well we found a lock of hair by the body." Naruto stated proudly. Shikamaru stepped beside his blonde partner and yawned.
"But we need further analysis to find who was at that crime scene, though." Shikamaru added in.
"Wow dickless, you really aren't as worthless as you portray to be." A voice spoke in and Naruto tensed and slowly turned his menacing gaze towards the smiling pale-as-paper man.
"Sai! I'm gonna pummel you into next week you good for nothing son of a-" Before he could lunge he was roughly restrained with his arms twisted behind head. Turning around to see who it was Naruto glared at the man.
"Let me go, Sasuke! I'm gonna kick his ass for talking about my dick!" Naruto tried to struggle out of his friend's grip, but he knew he was already too tired to go up against him.
"I know you want to beat him up, but we need him for tomorrow so I can't let you." Sasuke stated calmly and Sai snorted.
"Like he could."
Naruto glared at him.
"I'm sorry Sasuke." The raven looked at him questioningly.
"For wha-" Sasuke immediately let go of the struggling blonde to clutch his throbbing privates. The blonde glanced at him momentarily and then darted toward Sai with his fist raised. He punched him in the eye, which caused them to fall together, and would have repeatedly started punching him if it wasn't for the fact he was in the same position he was a moment ago.
Except this time his dad had his arms above his head instead of Sasuke. He struggled to break free, which caused a heavy amount of friction between him and Sai. There was a deep throaty moan and both blondes looked down at a smirking Sai.
"You know, if you wanted sex you could have just asked." Naruto and Minato both turned a bright red, one of them was from anger and the other from embarrassment. The older blonde hurriedly pulled his son off the aroused raven.
"Damn...so close." Jiraiya muttered while snapping his notepad close with a heart-felt sigh.
