Chapter 13: The Truth

When I woke up, Sai was still asleep. He was snuggled up against me and I smiled when I remembered how perfectly our bodies had fit together last night. When Sai moved, I felt a certain hardness press against me. I shivered and moved slightly as well. Sai moaned lightly when my body bushed against his erection. I moaned lightly in return.

'God. I know that I shouldn't want this so soon after what happened with Sasuke, but it feels so good. I want Sai. If this keeps going, I won't be able to control myself.' I thought. As if to prove a point, Sai started to grind against me. I gasped loudly and bit my tongue to stop any other noises from escaping. However, when Sai's erection slid in between my cheeks, I couldn't help the loud moan that escaped from my mouth and I felt my eyes roll back into my skull.

Apparently, the world loved to torment me because Sai woke up when I uttered the loud moan.

"Naruto?" He asked groggily. I froze and tried to stay still. However, Sai's erection made that nearly impossible. All I wanted was to feel his hardness across me. I shifted a bit and Sai moaned again.

"I need you." I said. I knew that I sounded needy, but I felt as if I had the right to be a bit needy. I just wanted the one person that I loved most to be with me in the one way that I wouldn't let anyone else be with me if I had a say in it.

"We can't. You still haven't fully healed." Sai said. I tried my best to get him to change his mind, but he was adamant. Eventually, I gave up trying to persuade him to make love to me, but it didn't change the fact that I needed release.

"Fine. But will you please touch me?" I asked. I was expecting him to say no right away, so it surprised me when he actually paused to consider it. I jumped at his hesitation and tried my hardest to get him to see things my way.

"Please! You won't run the risk of hurting me and make me feel good at the same time." I said. Then I realized how selfish I was being. Before Sai could do anything more than blink, I kissed him.

I used the distraction of his lips on mine to slid my hand in between our bodies and grasp his erection. I heard and felt him moan at the friction that simple act had caused. When he pulled away from the kiss, I caught sight of the accusatory look in his eye.

"That's cheating Naruto." Sai said. I laughed slightly and shook my head.

"No it isn't. I was being selfish and I hate to be selfish. I want to make you feel good too." I said. When Sai made no move to stop me, I went even further. I slid down his body and licked the head of his erection. He gasped and I controlled myself long enough for him to nod his head. I engulfed his erection and sucked, hard. He let out a strangled moan and I prided myself on making him let loose that kind of noise.

After a bit of sucking, Sai came in my mouth. I greedily drank it down and let his softening erection slip out of my mouth. He looked at me and I saw his eyes. I couldn't tear my eyes away from his and I shivered. They were darker than usual and I knew it was because I had pleasured him so much. We stared at each other for a long time before he finally moved. He shifted his body so that he could grab my erection. When he touched the heated flesh, it was like something in my snapped. I bucked my hips forward and cried out. He took the initiative and started to stroke my erection.

After a few strokes, I suddenly wanted more. He seemed to sense that and slid down my body, much like I had slid down his. He didn't wait for me to say it was okay; he just took me entire erection into his mouth and started to bob his head. I was grateful for that because I didn't know if I had the control over my body required to nod my head.

It didn't take long for me to come. When I did, I let loose a yell that I was sure could be heard for a mile in any direction. It took a good five minutes for my breathing to get back under control and for my heart rate to slow down. After that, I looked at Sai and smiled.

"Thank you love. I needed that." I said. He nodded and smiled at me as well.

"You're welcome. In case you couldn't notice, I needed it as well." Sai said. I laughed at that and, after a few seconds, Sai joined in. When we got our voices back under control, I remembered what was going to happen that day.

Sai sensed the change in my mood and I saw him remember as well. He looked at me and seemed to be thinking of something. Even though I hadn't known him for very long, I knew what he was trying to decide.

"I am going with you. Even if you leave me behind, I will follow you. Only thing is, I wouldn't have anyone to protect me when I am alone." I said. I saw his jaw clench a bit and I wondered if I had perhaps gone a bit too far.

"And if I took you to Iruka and Kakashi? What would you do then?" He asked. I had already thought of that, so I already had an answer. I just hoped that it would be enough.

"Do you really want to take that chance? I could get away from them easily enough." I said. I saw him contemplate what I had said and when he smirked, I knew that I was in trouble. I didn't even know that Sai could smirk.

"All right. You can come along. However, there will be a few rules. First of all, no sex. Second of all, you can't put yourself in danger recklessly. Third of all, if there is a fight, I am to handle it. If it seems like I am going to lose, I don't want you to jump in. I understand that one will be a bit hard to follow, so you can help only if I say that it is okay." Sai said. I thought over the rules and, seeing as they were harmless enough, so I agreed.

We set off about four hours later. We said bye to Iruka and Kakashi. We asked both of them if they knew anything that could help us, but neither had much. The most significant thing came from Kakashi. He said that Danzo was a very dangerous man and that he would probably be hiding far away from civilization. We thanked him and left.

I followed every one of Sai's rules, even though it was hard. I wanted to have sex with Sai, but I knew that I would be a distraction to his current goal. There were a few fights, but Sai managed to take care of them quite easily. Every time that he would win, he would interrogate them about Danzo. Every time, they would say that they had no idea what we were talking about. The one thing that made me respect Sai even more is that he never once killed anyone. I would have expected him to take care of them so that they couldn't try again, but he didn't seem to care.

Eventually, we got the breakthrough that we had needed. It came in the form of a hooded man. He told us exactly where to find Danzo. We knew that it was possibly a trap, but we also knew that we had to risk it. Sai tried to talk me out of going with him, but I refused to even consider it. I even went as far as staying up the entire night to make sure that he wouldn't leave without me. When Sai noticed this, he told me to go to sleep.

"I won't leave without you. I give you my word. Now get some sleep. You are going to drag us down if you are tired." Sai had said. I had to admit that there was truth to what he had said. I conceded and finally went to sleep, trusting Sai at his word. If it had been anyone else, I know that I wouldn't have trusted them at all. Then again, I probably wouldn't have gone with them if they had asked, let alone volunteered.

When I woke up the next day, I saw that he had kept his word. He was sitting at the edge of the fire, an intense gaze focused at me. I blushed under the scrutiny of his gaze and started to get up. It didn't take long for Sai and me to pack up camp and start to head out in the direction that the hooded man had said. We knew that it would take at least half a day to get there, so we wanted to get started as soon as possible.

It was around four in the afternoon when we got to the place the guy had told us of. It was just a small cave in theForestofDeath. No one would give it a second glance if they passed it. We walked in and were blinded by the lights that suddenly came on. After a few minutes of blinking, my vision cleared enough for me to make out the interior of the cave. It was bare save for a single chair in the middle of it. In it sat a man with a bandage over his eye. He reminded me of what a farmer would look like. He had the leathery looking skin and he looked like he wasn't a stranger to work.

"Well, well. It seems you made it. I wasn't expecting you for another day at least." The man said. When he spoke, I realized that I knew his voice.

"You! You were the hooded guy!" I said. He looked at me and I could see the amusement in his eye.

"Yes. I am." He replied.

"Then why would you have us come all of the way out here instead of talking to us directly?" I asked, slightly peeved about how much extra work we had to do. To my surprise, it was Sai who answered.

"He couldn't talk to us out there because we were being followed. The people who were following us decided that we were on a goose chase so they left." Sai said. I flushed slightly. I hadn't even noticed another presence.

"I assume you know why I am here Danzo." Sai said. I couldn't hear any emotion in his voice, and it made me start to worry.

"I do. But goodness me, my training seems to have been quite a success. No emotions, eh? It was because you were so young." He said. I gasped at that. I never knew that Sai had known this man before now. I looked at him and he looked slightly puzzled as well. Upon seeing this, Danzo laughed.

"Of course you don't remember. We erased that part of your memory. But anyways, I digress. You want to know about your parents. I knew them quite well. Your father was Masashi Kishimoto and your Mother was Kira Kishimoto. I am very sorry to be the one to tell you that both of your parents are dead." Danzo said. The thing that got me was that he actually sounded sorry.

"Why would you care about them? Why would you train me to feel no emotions?" Sai asked. I was watching Danzo, so I saw a trace amount of pain cross his features.

"I was very good friends with your father. He named me your godfather when you were born. I trained you to feel nothing because you asked me to. You didn't want to feel the pain that losing your parents had caused. I'm sorry. I know now that I shouldn't have done it, but I didn't see anything wrong with it at the time. I have some pictures, if you want to see what they look like." Danzo said. I saw Sai's eyes widen. He looked at me and I gave him a small smile, encouraging him to go on.

"All right. Please. Let me see them." Sai said. I could hear the tremor in his voice, and it made me feel better. I knew that he wasn't completely emotionless, but it still worried me when he acted as if he didn't have any emotions.

Danzo stood up and produced a picture book. I hesitated, not sure if I should be up there for it, but Sai caught my eye. He looked at me and I saw that he wasn't sure if he could do this alone. I nodded and stood next to him. He opened the book and got his first glimpse of his mother and father. His dad had black hair and eyes, like Sai. His mother had reddish brown hair and startling green eyes. He started to flip through the book and, near the back, was a picture of them holding a baby Sai. I looked at Sai and saw his eyes start to tear up a bit. I hugged him and he buried his face in my neck. I could hear him sob, and all I could do was rub soothing circles on his back.

By the time Sai got control over his emotions again, my neck was soaked. He sniffled and lifted his head again. Danzo looked a little tortured, and I felt for him. It must have been hard as hell to try and make someone feel nothing.

"Thank you Danzo. C-could I keep these?" Sai asked hesitantly.

"Of course my dear boy. They are yours. I see that you have begun to feel again. Maybe we can both start to heal now." He said to Sai before he turned to me. "Thank you for breaking Sai out of his shell. I owe you a debt of gratitude. I will not forget this. If ever you need me, come and find me here." He said before he left.

It took another half an hour before I felt it was time for us to start heading back to Konoha.

"Thank you for being there for me Naruto. I wouldn't have been able to do that without you." Sai said.

"Of course. I will always be here for you." I replied. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

It took the better part of the rest of the day to get back to Konoha. Once we were inside the gate, I turned to Sai.

"You go ahead home and I will meet you there. There is something that I need to do." I said, giving Sai my keys.

"Are you sure you will be okay?" Sai asked. I nodded and he started to walk back home. I waited until he was out of sight to go to the Hokage's mansion.

When I knocked, I was ushered in by Shizune. She took me directly to the Hokage's office and left without a word.

"Tsunade. We need to talk." I said. She turned around and studied me carefully.

"What is it? I'm busy." She said.

"Why did you have people follow Sai and me?" I asked bluntly.

"I did no such thing." She said, but I noticed how her eyes darted to the side, a sure sign that she was lying.

"Don't give me that bullshit. I know it was you. Don't lie to me." I said, my anger getting the better of me for a minute. I saw Tsunade sigh, and she leveled me with a gaze.

"Because he knows too much about this village. We can't risk him getting captured by someone who would mean this place harm." She said. That cooled my anger a bit, but I could still feel it threatening to boil over.

"You didn't need to do that. I know for a fact that he wouldn't betray this village. Leave him be." I said. Something in my voice must have startled her because she jumped slightly.

"All right. I won't pursue him anymore. It wastes valuable resources. I will trust your judgment on this Naruto." Tsunade said. I nodded and took my leave.

'I hope that Sai can get some closure now.' I thought as I was standing outside of my apartment door.

Author's Note: I know that this took me a long time to finish, but I have been a bit lazy lately. I got it done, and the rest should be easy. I am pretty sure that I got Danzo's character completely wrong, but I have never seen him before so bite me. I think it fits into this story well enough.
