Uzumaki Naruto was slouched against a tree, barely keeping a grasp on his conscious. The chirping of the birds in the morning air acted as a lullaby, doing nothing to help Naruto ward off the drowsiness consuming him.
"Why does the baka have to be so freaking late?" Naruto muttered to himself as he felt his eyes close more and more. "I'll just rest my eyes for a bit I guess…."
"…AHHHH!" Naruto yelled suddenly as kunai came out from practically nowhere, and he jumped to the side, unable to avoid a small graze on his shoulder.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" Naruto yelled from the ground, clutching his wound as Uchiha Itachi walked nonchalantly towards him.
"First of all, you really are a terrible ninja. Second of all, don't call me a baka- that's why I threw the kunai, you pissed me off, it was unavoidable. Third of all, don't talk to yourself, it's weird."
"Well excuse me but at least I was here on time, your highness" Naruto exclaimed as he stood up, his inner kyuubi powers healing the wound in an instant.
"Listen, Naruto." Itachi sighed and began leaning against the tree behind him, tossing a stone up and down in the palm of his hand. "I was thinking… that maybe we should abandon the plan. Is this all really what's right for Sasuke, or are we just acting selfishly?"
Naruto laughed in astonishment. "Abandon the plan? Itachi do you really want to spend forever with that bitch? Do you want Sasuke to live in misery because he never got to have the guy he truly wanted? Itachi if you've acted selfish at any point it's now!"
Itachi threw the rock into the distance with such vigor that it made a whole through three trees before finally resting on the ground. "I guess you're right… it's just, my parents are finally so happy and proud of me. Plus I kinda ended it with Sasuke before I came here."
Naruto's eyes softened and he began to smile in a comforting manner. "Itachi, if you're parents are happy now, it's because they think you're happy. You will be much happier when you're with Sasuke, and if they can't accept that, then they really don't care about your happiness. As for Sasuke, you know he'll forgive you. But ANYWAYS, that still doesn't give you an excuse to be late!" Naruto exclaimed, standing up and beginning to glare.
"I was preoccupied." Itachi replied in a stoic manner, picking the kunai up from the ground and observing its point.
"Well so was I!" Naruto yelled, "You made me wake up at FIVE IN THE MORNING to talk to Granny Tsunade, remember ?"
When Itachi and Naruto had first devised their plan, it was Naruto's job to gain Tsunade's approval. Naruto had told Itachi that he had talked to her and that she fully approved of the plan, but the truth didn't come out until… yesterday. Naruto finally confessed that he had tried to talk to Tsunade, but she was just too intimidating. This caused Itachi to give Naruto a good beating (quite sexually I might add), and Itachi commanded Naruto to talk to Tsunade early the next day to avoid being confronted by anyone else.
"Oh yeah, so how did that go?" Itachi asked, looking up at Naruto in interest.
"Pretty well in my opinion." Naruto said with a contagious grin.
Two hours earlier…
A silence filled the room as Naruto looked down at the ground, gulping quite frequently and twiddling his thumbs. Tsunade had known that something was wrong from the moment he had walked in there without making some sort of loud sound that would wake up the entire village.
"Soooo yeah, maybe this could all take place tomorrow? Itachi promised he would go on extra missions when he got back." Naruto muttered, finally looking up at Tsunade with hopeful eyes, praying that he would find a look of understanding reflected back at him.
Unfortunately, he received a look of total disbelief instead; Tsunade was completely dumbstruck. Sure it was early in the morning, but Tsunade was pretty sure her ears weren't deceiving her. Nevertheless, she couldn't refrain from giving herself a slight pinch just to be sure, and found herself disappointed as she realized that this wasn't all just a dream.
"So what you're saying is, the Uchiha boys are in love with each other, you want me to call you and Itachi out on a mission and let Itachi presume his death, wait until Ami leaves the village and have Itachi magically come back to life so he can live happily ever after with Sasuke?"
Naruto gave a nervous giggle. "Hehe yeah, basically."
Tsunade stared at him for another moment, and then said, "You just told me you have feelings for Sasuke, what do you get out of this?"
Naruto began to blush. "Well, Itachi told me that I can join them sometimes..."
"OKAY STOP!" Tsunade yelled, standing up and holding a hand out. "Do you think I WANT to hear about your kinky three ways?" She then sighed and sat back down, putting her head in her hands and shaking it in frustration. "God dammit, I always suspected that Sasuke might be gay but now I'm starting to understand why Konoha's population is steadily dwindling."
"Naruto…. do you see how many loopholes there are in this plan of yours? Do you really expect the whole village, and especially Sasuke and Itachi's parents, to accept them? Do you think that Ami will never find out that Itachi died, and she'll just go back to her normal life? What if Ami stays in Konoha for years, maybe her whole life?"
Naruto sighed and stared at Tsunade with his distant, earnest blue eyes. "Look- all I know is that I want Sasuke to be happy, and that this is the only way that it can happen. I will do anything I can to make sure that this plan works without fail! Believe it!" Naruto exclaimed, shooting his fist up in the air.
Tsunade eyed the boy who was practically her son curiously. "You truly never do cease to amaze me, Naruto. You say you love Sasuke, but you will do everything you can to ensure that he will be with Itachi. Why?"
Naruto smiled as his blue eyes began to sparkle, water seeping through to cloud his vision. "Sasuke is my best friend, and I would do anything for him, even give him to someone else."
Still in lingering shock, Tsunade actually found herself feeling admiration for the boy. He really didn't care about himself at all and would give up everything for those who were dear to him. He would just selflessly let Sasuke be with Itachi as long as it made him happy… he really would be a great Hokage someday.
Tsunade sighed. "You truly are the great hero of the Leaf Village, but that doesn't mean that I'm giving you permission to do this. I have to speak with Itachi before I give any sort of approval to this ridiculous plan of yours. You and Itachi will meet me in my office later today, and then we'll see where to go from there."
Naruto yelped with excitement and rushed over to envelop Tsunade in a hug. "Awww thanks Granny, you won't regret this!" Naruto exclaimed and he opened the door and gave Tsunade his signature wink and thumbs up.
"Mmmmmm" Tsunade murmed as she took a large swing of sake. :Wait I didn't say yes… NARUTOOOO! "
"… So she basically hasn't said yes yet?" Itachi asked, narrowing his slits.
Naruto giggled nervously. "Weeeell, she basically just has to talk to you and all is well and… Itachi why do you look so mad?" Naruto asked, taking a step back.
Itachi glared daggers at his partner in crime. "Because I told you to refrain from telling Tsunade about the relationship stuff YOU IDIOT! And you told her we were going to have a ménage a trois? SERIOUSLY?"
Naruto burst out into laughter. "Oh come on Itachi, its Granny Tsunade! You know she would have found out eventually! Anyways, if I hadn't told her, then she wouldn't have practically agree-"
"Shut up!" Itachi whispered suddenly, holding a hand up to Naruto. "Someone's coming!"
"Who would be training this early in the morning? You sure you're not freaking out over a chipmunk or something?" The cheerful blonde asked, rolling his eyes.
"Shut the fuck up Naruto!" Itachi whispered angrily. "There's someone coming…. Gasp!"
"Whaaaat? What is it Itachi?" Naruto asked, nudging Itachi in an effort to get him to speak.
"Sasuke." Itachi muttered, and disappeared in a flash.
"Oh good morning, Mikoto!" Ami exclaimed as she rushed downstairs, putting her jacket on as she hopped down the stairs, skipping three steps at a time.
"Good morning my dear! Care for some breakfast?" Mikoto asked, smiling and gesturing towards the waffles.
"Thank you so much Mikoto, but I'm really in a rush! You know, have to get everything ready for the wedding." Ami replied, slipping her tiny feet into her shoes.
"All right all right… maybe I could come? We're practically mother and daughter anyways." Mikoto said cheerfully.
Ami put a hand up in thanks. "Thank you so much for the offer Mikoto, but I'm fine going by myself. See you at dinner!" Ami exclaimed before closing the door shut with a loud bang.
Ami walked down the front steps, looked both ways suspiciously, then made her way towards a small dojo at the edge of town. Ami knocked twice and when she heard a quiet "Come in", she burst through the door.
"Oh Daddy!" Ami exclaimed, embracing her father in her arms. "Everything is going so terribly! Itachi and Sasuke are up to something, and I know that Itachi is trying to find some way to weasel out of our marriage, I just know it!"
Yusuke put a hand on his daughter's shoulder. "Calm down dear, everything is going to be quite alright. Now, have you and Itachi made love yet?"
"How could we have, father?" Ami asked, distraught. "He's gay!"
Yusuke shook his head and stroked his beard in concentration. "Fine- then you'll have to drug him." Yusuke took out a small pill of ecstasy, placed it in Ami's hand, and then closed her hand.
"Father… are you saying you want me to rape him?" Ami whispered. When her father nodded, she asked, "What about Sasuke? You know he's going to come barging in to the rescue!"
"I'll take care of Sasuke; I can probably get some information out of him anyways. All I need you to do for me, my dear, is to get pregnant with Itachi's child- then we can return back home and all will be well. If it comes down to it, we can always force Sasuke to do it."
Ami looked down in disappointment. "I wanted to start a new life with Itachi though, Daddy! I really did want us to get married and start a family!"
Yusuke laughed and shook his head. "Oh dear, you know that isn't nearly possible. The boy doesn't love you at all, and all we need out of him is a baby. Now go, we cannot waste any more time."
Ami nodded with tearful eyes and made her way towards the door.
"Oh, and Ami?" Yusuke asked, staring at Ami's closed hand. Ami looked back at her father. "Don't waste it."
"Teme!" Naruto exclaimed joyfully as Sasuke came into eye view. "What are you doing up so early, heheheheh?" Naruto laughed nervously. He could still sense Itachi's chakra and knew that he was nearby and spying on them. Naruto was the worst liar in the world, and if Sasuke suspected anything he was basically screwed.
"I always come here to train at this time." Sasuke muttered, throwing a shuriken to a tree without looking and having it hit his target dead-on. "I think the question is, what are you doing here? I thought you didn't wake up until one unless there is some Ramen special at Ichiraku?"
The mention of Ramen made Naruto's mouth water as he realized that he hadn't eaten yet that day. Naruto's stomach suddenly rumbled, and he groaned from hunger.
"And don't you usually eat first thing in the morning? Why would you come to the training grounds without eating first?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion.
Naruto was at a loss for words- Itachi had told him to visit Tsunade at exactly five, but Naruto had woken up late, leaving him no time to eat his breakfast. Right after he talked to Tsunade, he was supposed to meet up with Itachi, leaving him exhausted and hungry.
"Uhh… well I wasn't hungry when I woke up, but I'm hungry now so I better go eat." Naruto chuckled as he made to walk back towards the village.
"I heard voices." Sasuke said suddenly, causing Naruto to stop in his footsteps, eyes wide. "You weren't… talking to someone, were you?"
The palms on Naruto's hands began to collect sweat, and he gulped nervously. There was really no way out of this situation, and he was screwed unless he thought of some mind-blowing lie, and fast!
"The truth is…" Naruto gulped "… I knew you always got up really early to train at the training grounds and so I decided to get up early so I could spend some alone time with you and maybe talk with you and maybe train with you so we could get ramen and maybe spend the whole day together like the best friends we are?" Naruto asked in a jumble, smiling hopefully. Sasuke stared at Naruto, finding himself at a loss for words.
"Oh god, this is just pitiful." A voice came from behind the trees, and Sasuke turned around to find Itachi walking towards the two of them. "Naruto, how you became a ninja when your lying skills are a failure completely truly amazes me." Itachi said, shaking his head at the blond ninja.
"HEY I WAS UNDER PRESSURE OKAY?" Naruto replied angrily, his face going red from humiliation. "And how come we met here if this is where Sasuke trains?"
"How was I supposed to know that? I'm not the one on his team you know! And actually, didn't you know that Sasuke comes here to train every day?"
There was a long pause when Sasuke finally said, "I have told you that I train here at this exact time in the past, Naruto."
Naruto gulped nervously. "Alright well I forgot, okay? I don't exactly have the best memory you know…"
"AND HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE A NINJA WHEN YOU HAVE THE LONG-TERM MEMORY OF A CATERPILLAR?" Itachi yelled in frustration.
"CAN YOU STOP QUESTIONING MY NINJA-"
"SILENCE!" Sasuke roared, causing both men to jump and fall silent. "Now can someone tell me what the FUCK is going on here?"
Itachi sighed and closed his eyes. "Naruto wanted some extra training, so we decided to meet here early so I could help him, my foolish little brother."
Sasuke shook his head. "Then you two wouldn't lie about it. Tell me the truth or I'll take all your sex toys and burn them to the fucking ground."
Itachi looked at Naruto, hesitated, and then replied, "We were having sex."
Naruto's jaw dropped- Itachi called him a bad liar, and that was seriously the best lie he could think of?
"I know that wouldn't happen in a million years." Sasuke roared angrily. "I am sick of all the lying and the games, Itachi. I want some answers, now."
Itachi and Naruto looked at each other, and they realized that they were both out of options- they were going to have to tell Sasuke the truth and pray to God that he would take it well.
"Okay fine, we'll tell you everything." Itachi sighed, sitting down on a rock and looking up at the sky. Itachi began to explain the whole thing, and Naruto kept quiet, keeping an eye on Sasuke's face. Once Itachi was finished, Sasuke merely stared at him for a moment.
Sasuke then looked at Naruto and raised his eyebrows. "You have feelings for me?"
"You could have kept that part out of the story." Naruto growled at Itachi, blushing.
Sasuke smirked, and then looked back at Itachi. "So… you don't really want to marry Ami then?"
Itachi shook his head vigorously. "Not at all- this is all so that we can be with each other, Sasuke, please understand that!"
Sasuke paused for a moment, and then said, "Fine; just don't let Ami keep you away from Konoha for too long." He smiled and walked away, leaving Naruto and Itachi to stare at each other, dumbstruck.
"…So that went well." Naruto said, grinning his biggest grin yet.
Itachi smirked in return and replied, "Indeed it did Naruto, indeed it did."
A/N: Hey guys! Long time no talk :P. I guess it took a bit longer than I expected to get this chapter out… a year, to be precise. The combination of writer's block/laziness/business is a real killer! But anyways, I'm back and I'm more pumped up and ready to write than ever! Unfortunately, however, this story is beginning to reach the climax and will probably end in the next five chapters or so D:. I'll do the best I can to make these last chapters absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for reading, and don't forget to review if you have the time! ;D
