Chapter 28

Summary: "What would you name him Hokage-Sama?" Sarutobi looked at the baby that was looking right back at him with his small green eyes, what was unusual though was that the eyes of the child held some knowledge hidden in them. Sarutobi smiled at him, and the baby let out a giggle and pulled his beard, a name appeared in his mind, "I think I'll call him Tetsuo, yes that's perfect…Sarutobi Tetsuo."

-Last time-

Kiba's head was in his arms as he was lucid dreaming. He had yet to leave Tetsuo's bed side as everyone came and gave the boy flowers. Madame Pomfry had ordered him to leave but Kiba hadn't even heard her and she had given up on trying. Tetsuo's friends had come and tried to keep him company but it was barley received as the only thing on Kiba's mind was if his boyfriend would awaken or not.

His head snapped up when he heard a groan from the bed. His eyes widened when Tetsuo's eyes fluttered open and he was able to see those beautiful emeralds he hadn't seen in days. "Tetsu-chan!" He enveloped the surprised boy in the tightest hug he could, it had always been on mind that Tetsuo might never awaken but he had always crushed the thought.

"Kiba-kun-," His sentence was cut off as his lips were captured in the most desperate kiss they had ever shared. He gladly welcomed the feeling as they were able to reconnect after so much time being apart. When they pulled apart both had smiles on their faces, Tetsuo took a whiff of the air as his nose crumpled, "Have you showered recently?"

-Currently-

Since Tetsuo had awoken Madame Pomfry had allowed him to leave on the condition that he gets bed rest as soon as he gets back to his room. He of course didn't really promise because he had other things to do. It was still morning and most of the students hadn't woken up yet so Akamaru had carried Tetsuo back to their rooms since Tetsuo adamantly denied riding on the other boy until he took a shower.

Most of the poison was gone so most of his wounds were healing, his arm was still in a sling and his ankle was sprained but he could still walk at least. "You should take a shower when we get back to the room; I think your hurting Akamaru's nose."

"I get it already, I stink!" He glared at the boy as he walked ahead to get back to the room. When he crossed the corner Tetsuo brought out on of his special kunai and planted it into a nearby wall. He then got off of Akamaru's back and ignored the sting that shot up his leg

"Akamaru, I want you to go back to the room and tell Kiba that…"Tetsuo trailed off thinking of what to say so the boy wouldn't go looking for him, as much as he wanted to be right next to his side right now, he had another objective to complete right now. "Tell him I went to Gryffindor tower and that I'll return in an hour." Akamaru looked confused and stayed rooted to the spot, "I'll give you a steak when I come back," He bribed

The dog shook his head

"Two steaks?"

A head shake 'No'

"Two steaks and I'll let you sleep in our bed tonight."

That got the response he wanted, he petted the dog on the head before he disappeared from the school. When he arrived at his destination he was right behind his target as he formed a quick rasengan in his hand, "Hello Sasuke," He thrust his hand out but Sasuke expertly dodged it in the small room that only had three occupants.

"You might want to leave," He suggested to the third occupant, he was seriously pale, as in more pale than Sasuke to put on to the fact that he almost looked like the Uchiha, he was wearing a leaf headband although Tetsuo had never seen him before. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" He summoned a giant snake that destroyed all of the room and most of the building they were in. Tetsuo saw that they used to be underground but thanks to his summons that poofed away they were now in a large hole in the ground.

Sasuke moved to as there were a number of footsteps coming from the corridors to the left and right of them. Sakura came first and grabbed the pale boy by the neck, "You, what the hell are you after, how many times do you plan to stab us in the back before you're ha…" She trailed off seeing Tetsuo, "Tetsuo, how are you-,"

"Ah, is it Sakura…?" Sakura's sentence was stopped by her surprise as she slowly turned her head in the same direction Tetsuo was staring in. She released the boy's collar allowing him to breathe again

"Sasuke…-kun…"

Tetsuo guessed that the boy wasn't far behind and was proven right when he ran through the corridor as well and appeared in the huge hole. Tetsuo cursed silently at the pressure that he was putting on his ankle, but he would pull through it just for this occasion. "Sasuke,"

Sasuke only stared at them with a blank look on his face, "Naruto, so you came too…" He sounded like he couldn't care less who had come, "Does that mean Kakashi is here as well,"

Another man appeared, Tetsuo had seen him a few times as an ANBU and wondered what happened to Kakashi, "Unfortunately Kakashi-san couldn't be here but I'm here in his place. We, team Kakashi, are going to be taking you back to Konoha." He explained

This is the new team Kakashi?

"Team Kakashi, huh?"

The pale boy took out a short sword that from its sheath behind his back, "So he's my replacement, he was spouting some kind of nonsense about protecting the bonds between Naruto and me, on more pansy for the group, quite the fit I'm sure." He taunted

"It is true, my top-secret mission was indeed the assassination of Sasuke, but those orders don't matter anymore. Now I want to think and act for myself. Because of Naruto-kun, I feel like I might be able to remember something, remember how I used to feel. Something that I can't help but feeling was important to me." Sasuke only gave him a look of utter boredom as though what the boy was saying was idiotic

"I may not know you all that well but there's a reason why Naruto and Sakura-san chase after you with so much passion, in order to prevent their bonds with you from breaking. In order to keep them intact they're doing everything they can. I still don't have a very good understanding of it myself, but you, Sasuke-kun, you should know why…" Tetsuo had to wonder who this guy was to say something like that

"Sure, I did know and that's why I severed them. I have other bonds I carry, fraternal bonds forged through hate. Having to many bonds causes one to lose focus, weakening their strongest wish, their greatest desire." Tetsuo was dumbstruck, he had no idea what Sasuke was talking about because he knew of Itachi's betrayal that protected him from Madara so what was he talking about hate for. Either Sasuke was still acting for the sake of his brother or the curse seal had done more damage than they thought

Naruto had a troubled look on his face, "If that's true, then why didn't you kill me back then. Is that what you call severing bonds, Sasuke!" Naruto shouted at his friend who was paying him no mind

"The reason is simple, and it isn't that I wasn't able to sever my bonds with you. I simply didn't want to give him the pleasure of seeing me attain power by submitting to his plans."

"What do you mean by that?"

"There's no need for me to tell you, still the one thing I can say to you is that back then I chose to spare you're at nothing more than a whim of mine. If you want proof, just ask Tetsuo why he didn't chase after me the last time we fought." He then disappeared and reappeared right next to Naruto, "Come to think of it, isn't becoming Hokage a dream of yours?" He leaned close to Naruto's ear, "If you had to time to go looking for me, you would have been better off training and actually posing a challenge, don't you think, Naruto?"

Tetsuo summoned his sword from its protected place as Sasuke unsheathed his, "And that's why this time, you're going to end up losing your life, all at a whim of mine."

"Like there's any chance someone who can't save a friend could become Hokage, don't you think, Sasuke?" Naruto replied, conviction in his voice

Sasuke brought his sword to stab Naruto in the back but it was stopped by Tetsuo's own weapon, "Friends shouldn't be fighting friends, eh Sasuke?"

"What an effective way to block my attack," Naruto got out of Sasuke's hold by twisting the Uchiha's arm.

The ANBU clapped his hand and a wooden pole extended from one in an attempt to trap Sasuke, "Chidori Nagashi!" Tetsuo dodged it knowing when the boy was about to use it but Naruto was unable to and was caught in the electric current. Sakura charged after him but hesitated and was almost pierced by Sasuke's electric sword and was only saved by the ANBU taking the hit near his heart.

"Captain Yamato!"

"That was the wrong way to block my attack," Sasuke brought up his sword to defend against that slash that Tetsuo delivered

"I think its time you put a stop to this Sasuke before I put a stop to you." Tetsuo threatened as each boy tried to gain leverage by adding strength to the stalemate.

"If I remember accurately, I almost killed you in our last fight; and I can see you're still injured." Sasuke added electricity as Tetsuo added wind. Tetsuo heard a grunt from the ground and saw Naruto struggling to stand but his features were close to demonic as his scars broaden and his eyes were red and pupils dilated vertically.

Sasuke activated his sharingan and traveled to inside Naruto's mindscape and before Tetsuo could follow him he quickly returned to the struggle. Tetsuo threw him off as Yamato recovered from the stab, "Mokuton: Mokujou Heki!" A wooden dome from the ground and trapped Sasuke inside, but it was fruitless as the Uchiha broke out and jumped onto the ledge once more

He stabbed the ground with his sword as he performed familiar hand seals before sticking his arm in the air once more. Tetsuo had a flashback to the night of the tournament and was about to tell Yamato to make the strongest wood barrier that he could but stopped when Orochimaru appeared.

"You are not using that technique, Sasuke-kun." He ordered

"Remove your hand,"

The distinctive voice of Kabuto sounded from the ledge as well, "There you go again, forgetting exactly who it is you're talking to."

"I have no reason to stop,"

"You know quite well what Akatsuki is up to, we want to have our guests here from Konoha take care of as many of them as possible. Even one would be fine, if the other Akatsuki members get in your way, your plans for revenge could hit a snag, right?" Kabuto explained

"That's a weak excuse,"

"But surely you'd allow it if it means the increasing of your revenge succeeding by even one percent, right?"

"Let's go," Orochimaru led as the three friends shared in final look before one disappeared

"Dammit!" Tetsuo cursed as he sent his sword back to its protected place, he looked with sadness as Naruto sunk into depression at having failed to bring their friend back. "Oi Naruto, calm down, we'll get him back no matter what it takes." He tried to cheer the boy up but it wasn't working, "Sakura, I'll see in the village in a few days, I have to get back to the school to pack." He gave one last look to Naruto as he felt his body travel through the contract and he appeared in the hallway once more.

He sat down as his ankle was pulsing beneath the bandages; he stood on one foot and hopped back to the room hearing a ruckus behind the door. He opened it to see Akamaru sitting on a struggling Kiba. "Get off of me; I have to go find him!"

"Find who?"

Kiba's eyes were wide when he saw Tetsuo standing in the doorway all dirty, he gained new found strength as he went to go check on his boyfriend, "What happened to you, Akamaru told me you were heading to the tower."

Tetsuo suddenly looked nervous, "I fell…down the stairs," He lied

"Which ones?"

"All of them," He really hoped the boy was buying this but he knew he wasn't since Kiba could always tell when he was lying.

"Where did you actually-," His sentence was cut off when Tetsuo kissed him, he got a goofy look on his face as this was arguably the best feeling in the world, he shook it off though in favor of questioning, "Kissing me is not gonna-," This time it progressed into a heated make out session that had them heading towards the bedroom.

Tetsuo summoned his wand and transfigured two pillows into steaks for Akamaru before he closed the door behind them.

-Next few days-

Tetsuo heard a knock at his door as he was packing to leave and told the person to come inside, Dumbledore walked in and headed towards Ron's bed, "I remember in fourth year I set these curtains on fire, almost got myself expelled," Dumbledore joked but Tetsuo could tell something was bothering the man

"I put you in terrible danger this year Tetsuo, I'm sorry. Dark and difficult times lie ahead, soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. Remember this, you have your family back home and you have your friends here, you're never alone." Dumbledore comforted

Tetsuo had a smirk on his face as a memory was brought up, "You know its funny headmaster, I remember saying the exact same thing to a friend of mine."

-Few minutes later-

"You think there's ever been an exciting year at Hogwarts such as this one?" Dii observed as the children from all three school bid each other goodbye

"No," Three children answered with a chuckle

"Maybe I should come back next year?" Kiba suggested

"No way, you have to help in the hunt for Sasuke. Now that Naruto's back, I'm sure that'll be his top priority and they're going to need your noses." He petted Akamaru as he said this

"But we've barely began to explore our relationship yet," Kiba pouted

"Well, as soon as you bring back Sasuke, you'll be able to come with me every year." That got the Inuzuka spirits up as he nodded his head just like a dog asking for a treat

"I still can't believe you two didn't get together last year, it was obvious to everyone that you would." Hermione taunted as she was left standing on the wall by herself

"Well we're just thick I guess, besides when are you and Ron going to get together?" Tetsuo smirked seeing the blush on both of their faces

"Don't be absurd," She said haughtily going up ahead of them before stopping and turning back to look at her assorted friends, "Everything's going to change now isn't it?" She asked rhetorically

"Yes," Dii replied like it was obvious, but instead of being angry at his reply she seemed to accept it instead.

"Promise you'll write this summer, all of you." She said with a look towards Ron

"I won't, you know I won't," Ron replied though they could tell that he probably would

"Tetsuo will won't you?"

"Um, yeah, every single week." He joked making them all chuckle

Things were really about to change at Hogwarts

Whether they were for the better or the worse the four would soon find out

-Next day in Konoha, Tetsuo and Kiba have just arrived-

"It's good to see you again, Naruto." Tetsuo gave his friend a bone crushing hug that he wasn't able to give back at Orochimaru's hideout. "How was your training with Jiraiya-sama?"

"It was amazing Te-kun, I bet I'm even stronger than you right now." Naruto said excitedly, he had obviously been able to cheer up over the loss of Sasuke and was back to his normal self

"I don't know about that Naruto, I almost defeated Kakashi." Tetsuo boasted

"Oh yeah, I heard about that. That's what made you a Jonin." Naruto had a contemplative look on his face, "Doesn't matter, I bet I can still kick your ass."

Tetsuo really wanted to punch his friend over the head, "We'll see," Kiba came up to them with a huge pout on his face

"Tetsu-chan, I can't stay with you, I have a mission to go on." He looked sad because he wanted to do things with his boyfriend they weren't able to do at the school, things that weren't in the category of innocent.

"Well when you come back we'll just have to make up for lost time." Tetsuo gave the boy a not so innocent smirk as the Inuzuka pulled him close to give him a kiss that would last for a few days.

When Kiba walked away to start his mission Tetsuo turned around to see an opened jawed Naruto, "What?"

Naruto pointed at him, "What was that all about?"

"What was what all about," He asked

"The kissing thing, you guys never kissed like that." He scratched his head trying to remember if they ever had actually kissed like that

"Oh we're dating now,"

Naruto just blinked once before his eyes grew wide as plates, "EH!"

"Why are you screaming?" He held his ear as it ringed in pain

"You guys are together, when did this happen?" He continued to shout as he was taken by surprise

"Calm down, we only got together before New Year's." Tetsuo replied as Naruto once again sunk into a depression filled corner

"Everyone's changed, my best friends are dating, one's a Jonin, everyone else is at least a chunin, Gaara's Kazekage, and I'm the only genin left out of my year. Why is everything so unfair?"

Tetsuo just patted the boy on the back to give him some comfort while he's going through his issues.

-Next couple of days-

"Yo Nii-san," Tetsuo greeted his brother when he walked up to see him and Shikamaru playing their regular game of shogi. It was a natural past time for both laid back men and they would be caught regularly playing

"Hey, Otouto what's going on?" Asuma asked concentrating on the game at hand

"Nothing much, Kiba's on a mission and Naruto's training with Kakashi for some jutsu. What's up with you?"

"Well, did I tell you that Kurenai is pregnant," His face said it wasn't much news but Tetsuo knew his brother and knew that he was ecstatic over becoming a parent.

"That's great Nii-san, now I get another nephew and Konohamaru gets a cousin." He said excitedly over getting to spoil another child just like he did Konohamaru, "Did you already decide who the godfather is going to be?"

"Not yet, but I have an idea of who it's going to be." He answered before holding his head in his hands, "Ahh, I've lost again!"

"When we celebrate the end of our next job, the bill's going to be on you sensei." Shikamaru taunted

"Asuma-sensei!" They turned to see Naruto run up to them

"Hey Naruto,"

"What brings you here?" Asuma asked

"There's something I want to ask you, I need tips on how to manipulate the wind element." He asked with a deep bow meaning that he was desperate

"You're trying to learn how to control the nature of chakra?" Tetsuo asked, that was a hard lesson to master not even he could perform it as second nature like some ninja, "You need some talent to master that, you sure you can do it?"

"That's why I came to ask Asuma-sensei for tips."

"To hear that Naruto's chakra is of the wind element, that's a surprise." Asuma said sarcastically

"Can you give me some tips?"

"Let's see, my team celebrates the end of our missions by eating at Yankiniku. I'll consider doing this for you if you'll cover the bill for our next party, how's that?" Asuma gave a choice

"That's cheating!" Shikamaru chastised his teacher

"It can't be helped; I'll do it for my training." Naruto was resolute about getting help from Asuma

"Great, we've got a deal!" Asuma took out his chakra blades in order to teach Naruto about wind transformation

-Next few days-

Tetsuo was walking around Konoha when he was called to the Hokage's office. He entered the room and found Tsunade with her hands put together meaning that this was serious, "You asked for me, Baa-chan?"

"There were two Akatsuki sighted in fire country a few days ago, I sent a number of Jonin a chunin to head them make sure they don't leave. I think they're here for Naruto and I was wondering if you would aid in watching over him." It was more of an order than a request

"Of course I will, but I have to ask who you sent out on this mission."

"If you're asking if I sent Asuma then yes I did." She answered

"Why would you send Asuma, he's due to be a father." He asked, he knew Akatsuki was dangerous and Tsunade must have known about Kurenai.

"Asuma's strong, besides I sent Shikamaru with them, I'll even bet you three thousand Ryo that he won't come back alive." She held out her hand, it was the only thing that would alleviate the boys' worries since he knew about her bad luck streak at betting

Tetsuo did relax thinking about her bad luck and decided to take the easy money, "You're on," He shook her hand not knowing how he would feel on the day that Tsunade knocked on his door and when he opened it she just gave him a heavy sack before leaving.

A tear fell down Tetsuo's cheek when he looked inside and all he found where coins.


Sorry for the short chapter I just didn't want this arc going by so fast
