Reviewers;

Duh Bomb: Thinking about making it a tragedy in a sense. This is meant to show a darker side of the mob hiding behind the good intentions of members.

Mangaka Shuzen: I know but I felt like it was necessary to be soaked in. Just like how when you read a book. There are some chapters that are only three pages long, but necessary to grasp the mindset of the character.

Tony Blu: If they leave Konoha alive or in a body bag is up to you...wait no, me! Hmm, let me think on that and show you what I've decided in a few chapters.

Clank2662: Hmm. Glad you are enjoying it so far Clank.

Czar Ryno: Thanks for seeing the outside perspective on the chapter. It had a lot of things that couldn't really be said and had to be implied.

Logan Locke: I Swear...Every time you post a review...It makes me appreciate my story in ways I never knew before. I just thought of Sakura's dilemma as yes, between two hard places and losing it mentally and in her emotions, but then you said that she understands Naruto's own two sides, and that's my subconsciousness adding itself into my story!

As for the sexual comments you seem to see the untold truths of Sakura's complete background while I can't say it. Sex was a drug for Sakura and it calms her down and lets her think, but on the boy she loves and cares about. and as you so kindly explained. 'And yet like most highs, it does not last. The reality set in for her, and the guilt, anger, and overall helplessness overwhelms her.' Wow, perfect synopsis of her reality.

Overall, Thanks for the amazingly detailed review...again. Very helpful.


Hey Guys and Welcome Back! Just for your information, check out Logan Locke's Chapter 11 review for a great insight to the last chapter. It is prety spot on and it is written so much better than I could ever explain it.

Anyways, on with the chapter!

Mob Life

Chapter 12: Champagne With The Family


Weeks passed quickly for the couple and it was safe to say that Sakura had been officially flipped as an asset for the police force. Sakura was not a squeal or even a rat, she just had the job of supporting Naruto in his work and in the bedroom, though she took the second area of support rather fiercely.

Sakura walked with her head on Naruto's shoulder and her arms wrapped around his upper bicep. It was a picturesque moment, and the two lovers were basking in the sharing of their loving radiance. As they walked down the street, Sakura grew a little nervous as they were walking in an area outside of the district.

"Don't worry, Sakura-Chan. I'll protect you. "Naruto proclaimed in a lovingly whispered manner as he massaged Sakura's hands affectionately.

"I know, Naruto-Kun," Sakura nodded and snuggled further into his shoulder, her hair getting a little messed up. Sakura had told Naruto that she had never left the Uchiha District except a few times, and so now they were walking along the boardwalk, a neutral zone for the mob and where mob members rarely trekked otherwise, making it a good place to meet up with Naruto's team.

"So Naruto-Kun," Sakura began as they passed the fish market, "what is your team like?"

"Well, Shikamaru is the technical analyst who knows everything and everyone. He's able to forge just about anything and can get in anywhere without being seen. Then Kakashi is my captain, and he leads a number of teams but I'm part of his lead team."

"Sounds like you'll be up for a promotion soon."

"Naw, I don't want to be behind a desk the rest if my life. I figure that eventually I'll just be a bounty hunter or private detective in the future."

"That…sounds kind of boring, doesn't it?"

"Are you kidding me? Never staying still, chasing people around the globe? How can you-"

Sakura reached out and placed her finger on Naruto's lips to silence him, smiling up at him. "I was kidding, now shut up and kiss me."

"Well I-"

The two kissed in front of the fish market for five minutes, every minute moving further and deeper into the kiss. The kiss moved from light to tongue to sucking on teeth to grazing breasts and hair before they ran out of air. The two breathed deeply, their lips in mere centimeters from the other.

"Have I ever told you that you are a great kisser?" Sakura giggled lightly with a blush on her face.

"You've told me I'm great with my tongue." Naruto reminded her, making Sakura lean on Naruto as her hip sensuously rocked along his body.

"Don't remind me," Sakura whined playfully. "You just have an amazing mouth. I'll put you to work on my upper region next."

"Naruto!" A voice called before the couple turned to see Shikamaru waving at them with Kakashi wearing his mask next to him.

"We'll test that theory out tonight." Naruto breathed.

"Don't you dare let me fall asleep again, my crafty fox." Sakura nipped at Naruto's ear, earning a moan from her boyfriend before the both of them walked up the stairs and straight to the cafe table where some water was in a pitcher before them.

Sakura poured herself a glass, looking carefully at the men before her, while Naruto laid back and basked in the glow that they had shared for the last few weeks. Naruto had had a hard time arranging this meet to help find out what Sakura wanted, but she knew that he was nervous as well. After all, she could ask to go into witness protection and never speak to Naruto again. Yeah Right! Sakura giggled inwardly, like she would ever leave Naruto without force.

"So, you two work with Naruto-Kun?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, we do." Kakashi responded craftily. "We were told that you are willing to help us?"

"Depends on what you can offer that includes me staying with Naruto-Kun after all this."

"...With Naruto?" Kakashi asked, stunned as he looked smiling at Naruto. Naruto for his part smiled bashfully, as Sakura simply laid her head back on his shoulders and brought his head to face hers.

"That's my bottom line. You won't even see Naruto-Kun if you can't promise that. I'll hide him for myself."

"That won't be hard, though for that to work, the both of you would have to leave Konoha and possibly the Land of Fire. Naruto, this deal would end your career. It's barely begun."

"…My career doesn't matter anymore Kakashi-sempai. I have contacts everywhere and I can do simple work. I just want to finish this job and retire early. Most cops in Konoha die by thirty anyways so considering this we dying out early."

"Alright then, Ms. Uchiha-"

"H-Haruno…" Sakura gulped "Y-you can use my old name to create an identity right?"

"Of course, the Haruno family was always small, so besides the mob in Konoha directly, you should be alright."

"Awesome. I can at least have my old name back."

"Ms. Haruno, you realize that you'll have to forget about everyone you know. We know that you are close to Ino Yamanaka as well."

"I can't get her out too?"

"You can't just pick and choose who is good and who is bad."

"I-I understand."

"What other things do you want besides my best officer?" Kakashi asked.

Sakura breathed. This was the tricky part, but it had to be done. "Don-Sama gets off easy. You can send the real killers and muggers and drug dealers to jail for the rest of their lives. I know the real criminals in the crime family, and they have no families. They stay for money and jobs only."

"Hmm…you're asking us to focus our arrests on only the worst of the Uchiha crime family."

"I'm asking that you treat those with good intentions fairly. They have done wrong, I know that, but they still have done right."

"…We'll look into this. In truth, The Uchiha Don has over the years been seen as turning around a new leaf. We have seen the decline in crime over the years, but we have also seen how he has diversified his sectors under his rather zealous lieutenants."

"I know them. Only some are still stuck in the old ways, most still follow the Don. Those who follow the old ways follow Sasuke who I'm glad to say has lost his title for the Don."

"What?! That's great news! Naruto, that wasn't in your reports."

"He didn't know!" Sakura interrupted. "It hasn't been circulated around much as of yet. The Don told me weeks ago, but Naruto's test was a bid by Sasuke to show that he was a cop. Luckily, I was the only one to see him say he was one."

"Alright, well, I on behalf of all of KPD are glad to not have Sasuke as the next Don. Our analysts believe that he would take the crime family lower than ever before."

"You'd be right. And I have only one more condition."

"And what is that?"

"Sasuke Uchiha…you go hard on him; no deals, no mercy, he runs the killing side of the family. He gets no help." Sakura's eyes blazed with untold contempt and hatred for her pseudo brother.

Kakashi and Shikamaru smiled. "That we can arrange, Ms. Haruno, that, we can arrange."


The moon shone brightly in the night sky and would have shined brightly in the town below if not for the storm clouds in the atmosphere. The storm clouds were raining down upon Konoha below and as the rain was poured next to the window of two lovers, the rain only served to silence their moans and grunts and the slapping of skin.

"Oh God! Naruto! There! There! AH! Naruto-Kun!"

"Geez, Sakura-Chan! You so tight! Sakura-Chan!"

As the two lovers stiffened and basked in nature's ultimate pleasure, they were remembering that it had been six months since they had gotten together. Six months; it was the time when feelings wavered and flickered off or became true and meant that the relationship was in for the long judging by the fact that the two lovers were smiling and arguing playfully over small things as well as learning about the others all the time, they were definitely in for the long run and their feelings were true.

The lovers slowly began to breathe once more and Naruto pulled out of Sakura, moving next to her and smelled her hair as he joined her back on the kissed Naruto's lips sensually for a few minutes before they settled for Sakura moaning lightly at Naruto's gliding hands along her naked body.

"Sakura-Chan, I think after six months, we need to find a better foundation than just sex.

Sakura simply giggled, making Naruto glare playfully into her back. Sakura turned around and face her boyfriend of half a year. "Shouldn't I be the one saying that, since men love the feel of sex?"

"I don't think that applies to have a very healthy wanting of sex. In fact, I think you love the feelings of sex as much as me, if not more."

"I don't know about that, but I definitely feel it more when you give me butterfly kisses along my neckline."

"I'll take that as an invitation!" Naruto smiled before kissing quickly along Sakura's jawline, just above her neckline, making Sakura twitch in loving pleasure.

"Oh! I'll get you back for this Naruto-Kun!" (Rinngggg) "Aw! Man!" Sakura complained at the interruption ruining their good mood. It was because once they were interrupted, it was hard to get Naruto back in the mood, and usually made Sakura pull him into the shower or become submissive in order to make his fetish side more dominant and down to her need to Sakura's sexual ability to get off easy, but when she did get off, she insisted that Naruto get the same treatment.

Sakura reached over her boyfriend, her breasts grazing over his chest and picked up her cell phone.

"Sakura Here." Sakura called as she felt Naruto continue to kiss her neck.

Naruto was busy working on keeping her sexually active when he felt his lover stiffen above him, "we'll be there right away."

Naruto watched as Sakura let her hand with her phone drop to the mattress and dropped her legs off the bed, but stayed and held Sakura close, just knowing that the mood was ruined but that his girlfriend needed the comfort.

"What's wrong, Sakura-Chan?"

"One of the Don's lieutenants was just murdered, and the cops are already at the Don has called a meeting and he wants us at the parlor."

The couple separated and quickly put on their clothes. It was at times like these that Sakura was glad to have set aside a drawer for Naruto's clothes. Naruto hadn't changed the apartment as much as Sakura had. There was now a shelf in the bathroom for Naruto's stuff and an area of the apartment where his laptop and work was piled up on. They were slowly moving in together and Sakura was the one pushing it more forward of the two.

Once the two were dressed, they took off down the stairs and made quick time to the parlor. As they walked in, they saw Ino at the bar and helping the drunks by listening to them. Sakura lifted the entrance to behind the bar counter and let Naruto through before they walked to the end of the hallway.

Six months ago, Naruto would have thought that there was simply the Don's office space and the storage area. Now, Naruto pressed a button that was invisible along the wall and they watched as the wall at the end slid to the side showing stairs leading down. The two lovers moved down the stairs and the wall slid back into place, blocking the staircase once more from view.

As the couple hit the bottom of the stairs, they walked forward into the open space which housed a table with lit candles both on the table and around the room. This room was where the meeting was being held to discuss the current situation. The Don as well as many lieutenants from the western sector of the Uchiha district were in the room. There were also the Don's personal and trusted players and finally, there was sadly Sasuke. Even though he was no longer in the running for Don, he was still an Uchiha, and ran most of the 'dirty' operations of the family.

As soon as the two of the sat down near the far end of the table away from the Don, Sasuke tsked and earned duel glares from the both of them.

"So," The Don began the meeting. "What happened exactly?"

"The lieutenant in question was walking along his area, doing his job when an older man around fifty five ran up and from reports from our family, starting rushing and shoving him before he pulled out a gun and shot him. They lost him on the way to the hospital and sadly, the man responsible is already in police custody."

The table opened up as people whispered beside them, and Naruto looked next to him to his girlfriend and saw her confused and troubled face. "What is it, Sakura-Chan?" Naruto whispered.

"It's just, I know the lieutenant and he had a prosperous love life…and a family!" Sakura whispered with emotion. "I have talked with his wife, and she is completely satisfied and they acted a lot like us, actually. I just can't see him having a forced sexual relationship with another girl from what the reports of the older man's comments."

"What are you thinking, then?"

"Don-Sama, if I may?" Sakura asked allowed and the Don nodded and the room quieted as an Uchiha family member spoke up and they all respected the Don and whoever he so named to be an honorary member.

"The lieutenant had a healthy family life, so I was wondering if maybe the other gentleman was influenced in some way. Maybe misinformation from another family?"

"That may very well be." another lieutenant nodded and the Don smiled at his daughter's comment.

"We will check it out. You may be right Sakura." The Don stated before moving on to the hard part. "For now however, we must replace his position."

Immediately, several names came up from the captains of the three sectors as well as from several lieutenants and Sasuke. This was a family business and so one rose from their deeds alone by finding favor with higher ups and especially from Uchiha born and raised. Finally however, Sasuke made a suggestion.

"How about we let Suigetsu handle the old lieutenant's operations? He has the background and can easily move to the west side." Sasuke called out.

No one spoke up for two reasons. One, Sasuke had good and valid arguments. Two and more importantly, he was the Don's son and though he could no longer be Don, he still had a powerful voice at the table at face value. Only someone like Sakura could talk against him, but she didn't exactly run the certain expertise Sasuke did. Suigetsu ran some minor operations under the dead lieutenant, and if Sasuke thought it was time to promote him, then it would be done.

"If there are no objections, then Sasuke, will you inform Suigetsu of the promotion?"

"Of course." Sasuke nodded happily, getting his way. A lot of the men in the room rolled their eyes, Sasuke was a spoiled brat who would have surely run the family into the ground, especially on the west side. The Don did them all a great service in removing his claim to Don.

"If that is all, then this meeting is adjourned." The Don called out and the majority of the people at the table picked up their latest instructions in manila folders next to them and every moved to leave. "Naruto, will you please stay behind?" The Don added and Naruto looked back to him with a confused face but nodded.

Sakura saw Sasuke smirk happily at Naruto's expense and immediately thought that he had said something bad again. Sakura held Naruto's hand and smiled at the Don hopefully, but the Don shook his head. Sakura grew sad and a bit jealous, Naruto was making friends with the Don, and stealing her time with him.

"Sakura, just Naruto will be fine. Why don't you talk with Ino? She said something about a new hire."

"O-okay," Sakura nodded before squeezing her boyfriend's hand to reassure him. "I'll be upstairs Naruto-Kun." Naruto nodded his head and Sakura walked back to the door before closing it firmly. After that, it was just the Don and Naruto in the room.

The Don turned around and walked further into the room where a couple couches and rugs circled a fireplace. Naruto followed him as the Don poured them some wine, and wine being served could mean many things.

The Don turned back around and offered a glass to Naruto who accepted it before they took two leather chairs near the fireplace. Naruto watched the Don carefully as Fugaku stared into the fire for a few minutes before turning back to face his girl's lover.

"Naruto, how long has it been since you and my daughter have started dating?"

"Just over six months now, sir." Naruto recalled before he smiled lovingly in remembrance.

"Your face shows that you care deeply for her."

"I do, sir. She is strong-willed, passionate, and caring."

"Indeed she is, and she is indeed smitten with you. I am glad that you two have hit it off. Let me tell you a few things. Forgive me, I am an old man."

"You do not look it, sir."

"Always calling me sir, I see. I know that I am only forty eight, and will probably live long as Don, but one always feels old when their children find their soul mates..."

"Sir?"

"Do you ever intend to marry my adopted daughter, Naruto? Is what you have something that will transcend time?"

"I…I haven't thought much about it, Sir."

"As you shouldn't; you are young, and must make the mistakes of someone young. We will talk more on this at a later date. I am sure our dear Sakura is jealous of your time with me already."

"Jealous?"

"At least I hope that she enjoys our time together. It is so few nowadays."

"Sir, you aren't telling me something."

"You are right to assume so. I am jabbering on. I have a request for you."

"What is it?"

"You have shown great leadership in the last few months, inspiring those around you greatly. It has been some time since we have had someone in the highest position of captain in the western sector. I would like You to lead it."

"As what, sir?" Naruto gulped.

"As captain of course."The Don smiled as he took a drink of wine and watched Naruto's eyes widen at the offer.

"…You are trusting me too much, Don-Sama."

"Don-Sama," Fugaku chided. "I prefer the sir. No one calls me that besides Sakura, and I prefer her to say that as my daughter. As for trusting you, I have given you many tasks, far more than others to test you than you have known. I saw someone in you as soon as my daughter fell for you. You have treated my daughter with the utmost respect that I ask of anyone for her well-being. I am asking you to do the same for the western sector of the Uchiha district, though no sexual pleasure please." The Don sniped and Naruto crackled with laughter at his joke while shaking his head.

"I don't have a choice do I?"

"Afraid not."

"Then I would be honored."

"As you should be. Now, lets us toast to this. This wine bottle is two hundred years old, and is meant for situations such as these."
