SasuNaru: two friends one fanfic! Part 29.
This story is a combined project from sasuXnaruXChan (/sasunaruchan) and sasunaruneechan!
Enjoy!
Recap: "So it was you in the bathroom!" Kiba says and Akamaru barks loudly to confirm it.
"I don't think that the main question should be 'were you here last time' but 'How did you two end up meeting each other after so long'. " Shikamaru says calmly. Naruto looks at Sasuke, who lays his hand on Naruto's cheek.
"It was, I guess, something like a week ago.. I kind of lost track of time.. But I was on my way to my house when I walked into Naruto." Naruto giggles soft as he remembers waking up in Sasuke's place. "I let him sober up, but he actually wanted to stay.. so..."
"Ne, Sakura-chan..." Naruto says as he looks at Sakura.
"yes.. what is it?" She says as she pinned the band aid at its place.
"Do you remember that I came back with hickeys?" He says as his cheeks become a light tint of red.
"Yeah, I remember.. I hit you really hard for that, and then you were gone again for a long time." Sakura walks to the empty spot next to Sai and sits down. "What about it?"
Naruto chuckles.
"That was the day I had woken up by Sasuke..."
End recap.
Never fading memories
After Naruto's words it remains silent for a while as most of his friends look at him shocked. Even Sasuke is surprised that Naruto would tell them that so bluntly. On the other hand, what did he expect? That's Naruto after all.
"Y-you're joking right?" Sakura asks, mouth agape.
"Actually he's not..." Sasuke says and sighs. "You see, Naruto-"
"Ah, Sasuke let me tell this." Naruto says as he interrupts Sasuke. "I am the one who started this story after all." Naruto grins and Sasuke smiles caringly.
"Go ahead. If you can remember it all."
"Teme! Shut up!" Naruto retorts as he hits Sasuke's upper arm teasingly and turns to face the others again. "You see that's the point. I didn't remember how I got them, cuss I was quite wasted that night... Gheheh... And ah I kinda left cuss of what turned out to be a misunderstanding."
"Which tends to happen some more since then." Sasuke remarks smartly causing Naruto to remember a certain first attempt on a make-out session that went wrong.
"T-teme! Shut up and let me do the talk!" Naruto says with a red head and Sasuke chuckles but doesn't answer so Naruto can continue. Or at least he tries to. "...Uhm... Thanks, bastard, Now I forgot what I wanted to say..."
"You forgot how you got them so you went back to find out?" Shikamaru asks and sighs, finding it all so troublesome.
"Ah right." Naruto says and hits with his fist in his hand. "Well that is not exactly why. I had forgotten my jacket, so I needed to get that back and I kinda left in a hurry... Didn't explain anything... And only got Sasuke worried... Uhm, anyway, I had to go back and apologize and thank him for helping me sober up." Naruto grins sheepishly.
"So was it Sasuke who made those hickeys or not?" Kiba asks, getting impatient.
"Ehheheh... Well... Yeah... I ah..." Naruto stumbles over his words as his face gets red when he remembers what Sasuke had told him.
"Naruto is quite the clingy person when he's drunk." Sasuke says, taking over the conversation. "None of you ever noticed that? Or is it that he's only like that with me?" Sasuke smirks at Naruto who pouts and growls lowly. "Dobe, don't tell me you already forgot what I told you this morning about pouting." Naruto blinks a few times until he remembers that Sasuke had told him he found it cute when he pouted.
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouts angrily as his face turns red again full force. He leans forward and manages to get a hold of Sasuke's bangs, the locks on the sides of his face in each hand. "You really should stop saying stuff like that!"
"O-ow! Naruto, knock it off!" Sasuke says as he grabs Naruto's hair. "I was just joking. Now... If you don't let go of me, I w-will do something you don't like..." They both are too stubborn to let go of each other and the others can see that on their face.
"Oh yeah?! Try me!" Naruto says challenging. Sasuke can see the glimmer in his eyes which they both get when it comes to their rivalry. Sasuke smirks before he quickly pulls Naruto closer and smashes their lips together. Sasuke closes his eyes while Naruto's widen, having not expected this.
A long awkward silence is in the room as no one knows what to say to Sasuke's surprise.
TenTen looks surprised at Neji, whose mouth is open, but he is unable to say a word.
Shikamaru giggles as he sees the reaction from Sakura.
"Euhm.. guys..." He says as he starts to laugh.
Naruto pushes Sasuke slowly away from him and turns his head to Shikamaru.
Sasuke looks up and sees the red faces from Sakura, Tenten and Naruto.
"I think that we need an explanation." Shikamaru says as he wipes away a tear of joy.
Naruto's mouth has fallen open, but he can't find the words to explain what just happened.
Naruto's face is darker red than his mothers hair and he has no idea where to look.
Sasuke is smiling slightly as his cheeks start to get red.
"What is there to explain?" He says calmly.
Sakura makes a fist as she breaths in deeply.
"What is going on, between the two of you..?" She says as she points at Sasuke and Naruto.
"Do you want me to be really calm and cool with it?" Sasuke says as he looks at Naruto, who is swinging softly from the left to the right. "Well..?" Sasuke says as he pulls Naruto closer to him.
Naruto sighs.
"If I went all calm over it, Sakura would probably hit me for not telling her..."
"So that is a yes..." Sasuke says as he looks at Sakura, who feels accused.
"I wouldn't hit you.." She says as she folds her arms. "I would... be mad at you for not trusting me with you secret." Shikamaru shakes his head.
"Just tell us already. You can go all calm and cool over it, if you want to." Shikamaru says as he shrugs.
"We are, at least, trying to be in a relationship." Sasuke pauses as he notices the confused faces.
" We made out, and.. we both liked it."
Sai clenches his fists.
"You took advantage of Naruto!" He says as he jumps out of the chair.
"Oi, Sai. Let him explain." Neji says calmly as he pulls Sai back in his seat.
"What do you mean with 'trying to'?" Tenten asks and Sasuke sighs.
"Isn't that obvious? I wouldn't be here if it weren't outmost necessary... Tsunade knows we're here cuss she had to heal Naruto up." Sasuke explains and takes Naruto's hand in his.
"You're referring to the being paralyzed part?" Shikamaru asks, remembering their short fight.
"Yeah... We got attacked on our way here. Sakura-chan you remember the mission we had in the waterfall village, right?" Naruto asks and Sakura nods.
"Of course I do. With Idate and the holy water. Why?" She asks, wondering what it was that Naruto was getting at.
"It were two of those enemy's that attacked us. Though they were easily beaten back then, they've grown in strength quite a bit. Still they wouldn't be a match for us." Sasuke says confident.
"Yeah if only we were in top condition..." Naruto says as he pouts with a blush on his face.
"Stop complaining dobe. You wanted it. You can't really blame it all on me." Sasuke retorts , gaining another glare from Naruto.
"They weren't all that easy to beat back then... But even so, Naruto, you can use Kurama's chakra now. Then why did you end up being poisoned?" Sakura asks.
"In order to use Kurama's chakra I'd first have to undo the seal. And, you know, that's not possible with two hands pinned down. They had used some kind of water-beast jutsu or something." Naruto replies while he scratches the back of his head.
"Then why not kick it off?" Lee asks on which Naruto's cheeks turn instantly red. Sasuke snickers, just enjoying the dilemma Naruto has gotten himself into.
"I-I... Like I said I... I wasn't really in a good condition to fight s-so..." Naruto stutters as his face is as red as a tomato and he keeps looking down.
"If you're hurt anywhere I can heal you, you know that." Sakura says as she get's worried and Sasuke has a hard time holding back his laughter.
"I don't think that would be necessary. That's Kurama's job after all." Sasuke says and smirks at Naruto.
"Sasuke, you bastard! You know this is all your fault!" Naruto says embarrassed and starts to hit on Sasuke, who just grins at his reaction.
"Fine, fine. I won't say anything about that anymore." Sasuke says smiling at the fuming Uzumaki. "Either way, it's not like you guys have to capture me or anything. Tsunade is working on getting my brothers and my name cleared."
"Why?" Neji asks and Sasuke sighs.
"I told her, with the thought that I'd never have to tell that story again. Yet Kakashi asks me, you guys now to... I would like to say 'Ask Tsunade' but she's not in Konoha at the moment so... I guess you guys will have to wait until she comes back." Sasuke says as he get's annoyed with everyone doubting and judging him once more. But the others won't buy it.
"If you think we will let you walk around freely, you are highly mistaken." Sai says and Sasuke can see the anger in his eyes. A part of him get's irritated and intends to hate him back just as much, but a different part pities Sai. Sasuke recognizes the hatred in Sai's eyes and he remembers all too well what it was like to be consumed by it. "And you still didn't make clear whether you took advantage of him or not..." Sai continues and the others look their way as well.
"We're together okay? No, Sasuke didn't take advantage of me. We got closer than we've ever been before which had led to this." Naruto explains clearly while looking at his hands that lay in his lap, but he looks up as he continues. "Also, none of you should doubt Sasuke's motives for being here, with me, or whatsoever. Al of Sasuke's actions have been just and are understandable. Konoha has done way more and worse things to him and his family, yet Sasuke let's it slide. He has every reason to hate and want to harm Konoha, but he doesn't. He wouldn't even be here if he didn't care so much about me... So I warn you; back off with your judgments towards my boyfriend!" Naruto has his fists folded and he looks each and every one of his friends in their eyes, one by one, challenging them to go against him. Sasuke is surprised as well as impressed that Naruto takes it up for him so much towards his own friends, not to mention threatening them. He smiles softly before he lays his hand on Naruto's who seems to relax a bit due the contact.
"What do you mean with : 'His actions have been just and understandable.' " Shikamaru says calm as he looks at Naruto.
"It is how I say it... His actions are understandable.."
Shikamaru sighs.
"I mean to say, how is it understandable? He left Konoha, joined Orochimaru, after that he joined Akatsuki and then he attacked Killer Bee and the kages."
"Naruto, I will tell them." Sasuke says as he lays his hand over Naruto's mouth. Shikamaru focuses on Sasuke as he starts to talk. "We all know why I left Konoha, though trough the years I found new intel about the reason my brother did what he did..." Sasuke stops for a moment, wavering over the words to use. "Itachi had an ANBU mission... And that mission was to kill the entire Uchiha clan... But he couldn't kill me..."
Naruto wraps his arms around Sasuke.
"I can continue if you want.." Naruto says as he lays his head on Sasuke's shoulder.
"No, I can do it..." Sasuke strokes through Naruto's hair.
"That doesn't mean that what you did is understandable..." Kiba says as Akamaru growls soft.
"I know that.. But by telling you about Itachi's mission.. I.. I just want you to understand that... At the kage meeting I wasn't after all the kages... I was after Danzo."
"Why would you go after Danzo?" Sai says as he tries to keep himself calm. "What did he have to do with your brothers mission?"
"Sai.. Let him finish his story before asking so much.." Neji says. Sai sighs as he folds his arms and looks at Sasuke.
"Thank you Neji.." Sasuke shows a faint smile. "Danzo was the person who gave Itachi his mission and the elders and the third didn't know of it until Itachi showed up and told them.." Sasuke swallows before he continues. "It is not really my fault that all the other kages wanted to kill me... It's not something I could have changed. All I wanted was for Danzo to tell me if it was true or not, and didn't think that Danzo would, I don't know, kill himself in an attempt to take me with him..." Naruto snuggles his nose against Sasuke's neck.
"So.. You actually joined Orochimaru for power so you could kill your brother, and when did you find out that it was a mission?" Sakura looks confused at Sasuke as she tries to understand him.
"After my fight with Itachi, I woke up in a hide out from Akatsuki. The guy we had a war with, Obito.. He was the one who told me about Itachi's mission.. That is why I needed to find Danzo.."
"Then why did you join Akatsuki? Because you attacked Bee before you attacked Danzo.." Tenten looks around and sees that she isn't the only person who wants to know it.
Sasuke slides his hands through his hair and sighs.
"I joined Akatsuki for.." Sasuke sighs again as he tries to find the words that would hurt the less. "I joined them so I could get a bijuu.. Back then, I was consumed by hatred.. And what I'm going to say isn't going to help me in this situation.."
Sakura looks at Sasuke as she wipes away a tear.
"I'm kind of getting a picture of what you have all been through.." Sasuke looks at Sakura. "Losing your parents is tough.. I don't know how it feels, but I'm sure that it isn't fun.. And then finding out that your brother had a mission and couldn't kill you... You must have been devastated..." She shows a faint smile as she remembers what all happened when she arrived at the bridge. "You have been hurt by so many people... I can understand that you can't trust us.. That is why it takes you so long for telling us..."
Sasuke bites his lip as he realizes that she was right. 'I want to trust them.. I really do.. But what is it that tells me I can't...'
"You can tell us, Sasuke-kun. You can trust us." Lee says as he stands up, but quickly gets pulled down by Neji.
"We have been in the same team. And in a team you can trust each other. After you left, that didn't change." Sakura says as she smiles at Sasuke.
"Thank you.."
Sasuke smiles as he looks around the room. 'They are my friends, that is why I can trust them.'
"Back then I wanted to use the bijuu to destroy Konoha..." Sasuke says as he is to afraid to look at anyone and tries to ignore the silent gasps. "I never got my hands on a bijuu... And Konoha was destroyed by someone else. So I skipped my revenge on Konoha and went for Danzo."
"And he confirmed this story?" Shikamaru asks after a short silence had fallen and Sasuke still looks away when he answers.
"More than that... Apparently Danzo had been taking more Sharingan's than just Shizui's..." Naruto tightens the hug he had been giving Sasuke to give him comfort. "You're the genius of our generation, Shikamaru. I'm sure you can figure out what that means..." Worry is clear to see on Shikamaru's face as he thinks Sasuke's words over while others just look confused.
"I don't get it." Kiba says as he looks from Sasuke to Shikamaru to Naruto. "What do you mean with that? It's not like he took yours by the look of it."
"Don't Sasuke." Naruto warns his lover as Sasuke is about to answer that. "It's enough. This conversation is over. You guys understand now that Sasuke been through quite a hell and had to face it on his own. If you have any questions left you have to wait till Baa-chan is back and then ask her." Naruto stands up from the couch and intends to walk away, but is pulled back by Sasuke, causing him to lend on his lap.
"Not so quick, Usuratonkachi. You still aren't allowed to walk around." Sasuke says protectively and Naruto scowls. "And I can handle myself just fine, though I appreciate your concern. I managed to tell Tsunade after all so-"
"If I am not allowed to walk around then I will not allow you to relive your trauma's over and over again." Naruto says sternly as he folds his arms and looks the Uchiha in his eyes.
"Tsk... Fine..." Sasuke eventually looks away while scowling, causing Naruto to grin.
"Well then. Now that all the talking is done. Who is in for some card games?" Naruto suggest enthusiastically and the others smile softly as they recognize their hyper blond.
"Ow yeah! Count me in!" Kiba says as he pumps his fist in the air.
"Nothing is better for bonding then some youthful card games. I will gladly accept this challenge Naruto-kun." Lee answers too.
"I wouldn't mind, but... Are you sure Naruto? Shouldn't you rest up from that fever?" Sakura asks as she looks at her favorite blond with worry in her eyes as most others do the same.
"Nah, I'm fine. Sasuke here is just being incredibly overprotective." Naruto answers as he grins down on Sasuke who smirks at that.
"You were the one that nearly collapsed not that long ago." Sasuke remarks back at the blond on his lap who pouts at that. "But I can imagine that you wouldn't be able to get any sleep anytime soon. Guess we can play a few rounds... As long as you don't overdo it, dobe."
"Oh Yes! Thanks teme!" Naruto cheers before he turns around and kisses Sasuke on his lips without deepening it. "I love you Sasuke!" Naruto grins and Sasuke smiles back at him. They soon begin with the first few rounds as all their friends decide to join in. They play till early in the evening, having a great time as nearly broken bonds are getting mend and strengthened more than before. As the sun sets Naruto's, and now Sasuke's, friends leave one by one. But not before they have promised to keep Sasuke's presence in the village a secret.
"There is only one person who could have done this." Onoki says sternly as the rest of the Kage's listen to him.
The Tsuchikage had been the one who had called forth the Kage-summit. Tsunade had been surprised to hear from him that rock ninja's had found two body's of whom used to live in Konoha. These two being Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu. Being curious why the elders of Konoha were leaving the village, taken all the stuff they traveled with, Onoki had called for the meeting to ask Tsunade personally. Tsunade had explained that the elders had made some dare mistake's in the past, but claimed that what those were was none of Onoki's business. Therefore coming to the point who might be the cause of their death on which they all had an opinion.
"And that person is, of course, Uchiha Sasuke." Onoki finishes and Tsunade's irritation grows with every speaking word.
"Uchiha Sasuke hasn't been heard from for over four years." Gaara says as he has his arms folded in front of his chest.
"But there is still a high chance that he has survived. Look at Madara, he did, and I prefer to rather not go into war again, taken where it had lead to..." The Raikage retorts. "Those damn Uchiha's are like weed. Better to finish him off before he manages to form a group or army."
"I agree that if Sasuke is still alive he's the most likely the reason of the death of the elders of Konoha. He had killed Danzo too after all." The Mizukage states. "It's only a matter of time before he goes after the Hokage now."
"Alright, that's enough." Tsunade says as her last string of patients has snapped. "It wasn't Sasuke."
"Don't you dare take it up for him now, Tsunade. Taken everything he has done you might as well admit that he's as much a snake as Orochimaru was!" The Raikage roars through Tsunade's explanation.
"What makes you think so, Tsunade." Mei wants to know.
"Explain your statement, Tsunade-hime." Onoki requests as he looks at her, feeling his own patients waver as well. All Kage's look at Tsunade once more who sighs.
"Because for the past five days Uchiha Sasuke has been staying in Konoha."
There was a huge silence as Tsunade spook her words.
Ay folds a fist as the anger in his eyes grow.
"What do you mean with Sasuke is in Konoha?!"
He slams the desk as he jumps up from his seat.
Tsunade sighs as she knows that she will never be able to end any sentence with the Raikage in this state.
Gaara looks at Tsunade and he wasn't the only person.
Everyone in the room has their eyes locked on Tsunade, waiting for her to explain what was going on.
"There has been some circumstances and I'm personally researching some things.."
"He is a criminal, Tsunade-hime." Onoki cuts Tsunade off.
"And I'm trying to explain to all of you why I let him in Konoha!" Tsunade says irritated.
Ay starts to walk around the room.
"What if he does something to your villagers?! You let a criminal in!"
"Raikage-sama, please calm yourself down. I'm sure that the Hokage has a valid reason to let him stay." Mei follows the Raikage with her eyes as she stays rather calm.
"Thank you, Mizukage." Tsunade sighs relieved.
She clears her throat as she continues.
"Naruto and Sasuke were attacked when Sasuke was bringing Naruto back to Konoha and Naruto got poisoned so he came directly to me. That's why he is in Konoha."
"Why didn't you notify us about it?" Onoki says.
"Is Naruto-kun okay?" Mei asks as she leans towards Tsunade.
"Naruto is recovering, we extracted the poison."
"Tsunade.. My question, please." Onoki says as he looks kind off irritated by the fact that Tsunade ignored him.
"Well, he isn't a danger for us so I decided that it could wait."
Tsunade says as she looks calmly at Onoki.
"Bring him here." Ay says as he folds his fist.
"What do you mean?" Tsunade says.
"Bring him here so he can get his punishment." Ay raises his voice and anger was clearly visible in his eyes.
"I don't think that Naruto would let you do that." Gaara says as he looks at Ay.
"I don't care! I won't allow him to get away with disobeying the law!"
"Raikage!" Mei says as Ay walks towards Gaara.
"Fine... I will listen to what he has to say!" Ay walks back to his seat and calms down a bit.
"But we still don't know how Naruto ended up by Sasuke.." Mei says as she looks kind of disappointed to Tsunade.
"I think that Sasuke and Naruto are the two who can tell you that part of the story. I don't know a lot about that part either." Tsunade says as she smiles at the Mizukage's disappointment.
"Just sent the messenger out already!" Ay says irritated.
"You know that by making Sasuke come here you will get Naruto as well." Tsunade says as she writes a note for Naruto and Sasuke.
"I don't care!" He says.
"That brat thinks he can get away with murder! I will prove him wrong." Ay smashes the table with his fist.
Within no time all the guards were standing in front of their kage.
"Raikage, please calm down." Darui says as he lays his hand on the broken table.
Tsunade sighs.
"I will take care that he comes here, but that means that Naruto would be standing next to him the entire time."
"They sound like a married couple." Mei says as she chuckles soft.
Tsunade looks irritated to Mei as Ay screams; "We don't sound like a married couple! Mizukage!"
He jumps up and is ready to walk over to her and show her with who she was messing.
"I was talking about Naruto and Sasuke." Mei says as she tries to hide her smile.
Ay mumbles something as he calmly sits down again.
"So... Where there any other things that someone wanted to discus?" Mei says as she looks around.
"What do you mean by that, Mizukage?" Onoki says as he curiously looks at her.
"Well, we are here and now we have to wait for Sasuke and Naruto to arrive.."
She folds her arms as she leans back.
"Were you planning on doing nothing but wait for them to arrive here?"
Onoki nods.
"Okay, it will indeed be a long wait.."
He looks around and notices that Ay was still angry at Tsunade for not telling them about Sasuke.
"How is it going at the academy?" Gaara asks.
"Come on dobe. It's time to clean up." Sasuke says as he tries to create some space between their naked body's. Naruto's fever had gone completely and he's back to his old self, which is reason to celebrate.
"Nooo... I don't want too..." Naruto whines as he pulls Sasuke deeper inside of him with his legs, causing his seme to stifle a moan. "You feel sooo good..."
Naruto nuzzles his nose through Sasuke's hair and teasingly licks his ear. Sasuke trembles slightly, wavering whether he should give in to the temptation of another round. Eventually he makes his choice as he manages to sit up, having pulled Naruto along with him. Naruto grins when Sasuke kisses him fiercely, knowing he has won this one. He opens his mouth and slides his tongue into Sasuke's mouth which Sasuke first allows, letting Naruto control the kiss for once, and he can't help the soft moan before he slides his tongue into Naruto's mouth, causing them to end up in a fight for dominance. Saliva drips down their chins caused by their rivalry match as they kiss each other fiercely. It is Naruto though who runs out of air first causing Sasuke to see and take his chance to slide his tongue further into Naruto's mouth, dominating the kiss shortly before breaking apart. They look at each other and see the passion burning in the other's eyes as they catch their breath.
"Sasu-keh..." Naruto moans as Sasuke starts to kiss and lick his neck. "P-please... Just- Ahahngh!" Sasuke bites playfully at Naruto's collarbone as he pulls him closer causing his uke to moan and sigh in delight.
"In the shower..." Sasuke whispers seductively in Naruto's ear who trembles at the sensation before he nods.
Sasuke takes it as his queue and stands up while he carries Naruto along who has wrapped his arms and legs around his seme tightly. They kiss once more while Sasuke struggles with the door before entering the bathroom and walking straight into the shower. Their tongues turn fiercely and Naruto moans loudly as Sasuke smashes him up against the wall while turning the water on. Sasuke breaks the kiss and they both hiss as the cold water pours over them before slowly turning warmer.
"Hnn... Teme... You forgot to lock the door..." Naruto says as Sasuke starts to lick and suck his neck, making a few more hickeys.
"I don't care..." Naruto hears him mumble and he lowers his head to bite Sasuke's ear.
"Someone... could walk in on... uhhsss!" Naruto moans as Sasuke starts to thrust into him again and he can't help but feel that a trivial thing like a door being locked or not, does no longer matter.
"Let them... walk... in... on uhussh!" Sasuke whispers into Naruto's ear with every thrust. "There is n-no way... we're gonna stop!"
Naruto screams it out as Sasuke hits his sweet spot while biting his jaw line at the same time. Naruto absentmindedly notices how Sasuke makes a hickey on his jaw line, which of course will be very visible later on. Neither one of them cares at the moment though as they enjoy the feelings that rush through their body's. Being one with the one they love the most, nothing else matters. It's not them against the world. It is the world that consists only out of them.
"Ah.. Sa.. Ah!" Naruto moans while Sasuke thrusts faster. "Moarh!"
Sasuke moans as he feels he is reaching his limit. He strokes Naruto's erection in the same pace as he thrusts in him.
Water mixed with a white consistency pours down the drain as Sasuke pulls out.
Naruto looks at Sasuke.
"You liked it a lot, didn't you?" Sasuke looks down and sees white drops leaking from Naruto's ass.
"Baka.." Naruto smiles as he hugs Sasuke. "Of course I liked it."
"I'm going out, enjoy the shower." Sasuke says after cleaning up and kisses Naruto's forehead before he walks out of the shower.
Naruto blushes lightly as he thinks about all the nice things he and Sasuke had done.
'It is almost too good to be true...'
"Sasuke, could you give me a towel?" Naruto says as turns off the shower.
"There is one close to the shower, you can reach it." Sasuke says as he stays in the bed room.
"But I want you to give me the towel.." Naruto pouts as he hears footsteps coming closer.
"You know what I think of you when you pout." Sasuke grabs the towel, which wasn't even a foot away from the shower. "You really enjoy that I give you attention."
Naruto chuckles.
"Well, you enjoy to see me smile."
"Come on, get dressed." Sasuke says as he puts the towel around Naruto's shoulders.
"Can you help me?" Naruto says as he holds Sasuke's hand.
Sasuke kisses Naruto's cheek.
"Fine." He sighs as Naruto grins widely. "But I only help you to get dry. You can put on your clothes by yourself."
Naruto crawls under the blanket.
"Oi~, usuratonkachi. It is almost noon.. Get out." Sasuke says as he tries to pull the blanket away from Naruto.
"No! I want to sleep."
Naruto wraps himself in the blanket and Sasuke sighs as he sits down.
An annoying ticking is coming from the living room.
"Nee... Sasuke.." Naruto stretches as he sits up and looks confused at Sasuke, who was still sitting on the edge of the bed. "What's that sound.." Naruto says as he lays down again.
Sasuke turns his head as he looks at his uke, who just hide his face in his pillow.
"You ask me what that sound is... And then you just go back to bed.."
Sasuke sighs as he stands up. "Wake-y, Wake-y" Sasuke says pulls the blanket away from Naruto.
"Give it back!" Naruto says as he tries to grab Sasuke.
"Time to get out.."
Sasuke walks to the door and lays the blanket on the couch. He looks around and tries to find the still ongoing ticking sound.
As he looks at the window in the living room, he sees a bird repeatedly ticking his beak against the window.
"Stop it already.. Stu-.." Sasuke stops as he sees that the bird wears a message at his back.
He quickly walks to the window and lets the bird in.
Naruto walks in and looks at the bird sitting in the windowpane.
"What is that?" He says as he curiously looks over Sasuke's shoulder.
"A note from Tsunade. I have to go to the Kage Summit and explain why I'm in Konoha and.. Well.. You can read.." Sasuke says as he gives the message to Naruto.
"I won't let you go there on your own." Naruto says while he lays the note down and hugs Sasuke.
"Naruto.. I don't think that you are healthy enough to travel.." Sasuke hugs Naruto. "I will be fine on my own."
"No! They.. they will try to kill you..." A tear rolls down Naruto's cheek as he holds Sasuke even tighter.
"Calm down.. I don't think that Tsunade would let them." Sasuke caresses Naruto as he tries to find a solution.
"They just want to listen to me and give me a punishment. That doesn't mean that they will kill me.."
Naruto sobs as he pulls Sasuke closer, making it rather difficult to breath. "Okay, you can come. But please, just let me do the talk..."
"Any of you who dare to mean Sasuke harm, have to go through me first!" Naruto's voice resounds through the room as he and Sasuke just teleported there, interrupting the conversation the Kage's had.
"Dobe..." Sasuke softly mumbles as he face palms himself. "I told you to let me do the talk..."
"I'm just saying, I won't let anyone lay his fingers on you." Naruto says as he holds up his hands.
"Uchiha!" Ay roars as he stands up. "Don't think for a moment you can get away from the punishment for your crimes!"
"Raikage, please sit down." Tsunade says as she massages her temples. "You said you would listen to his story."
"A trial shall be held. Uchiha Sasuke has a right to defend himself and his past actions." Gaara states as he nods towards Sasuke who nods back in gratitude.
"Thank you, Gaara." Sasuke says before he faces the other Kage's as well. "I would first like to hear all those crimes that I'm accused of."
"You know very will what you did wrong!" Ay shouts as he feels like Sasuke is just toying with them. "You kidnapped Bee! You attacked the Kage-summit and killed a Hokage! You joined first Orochimaru, then the leader of Takatsuki, whatever his name was. You threatened Konoha!" Ay hits the table with his fist at the last sentence and Sasuke sighs before he speaks up again.
"First of all I never succeeded in kidnapping the eight tailed. The entire battle was a disaster on the part of team Taka. Obito had never mentioned to us that the eight tailed Jinchuriki was in full control of his tailed beast and therefore we highly underestimated him. Everyone of my comrades back then made sacrifices during that battle. Two of them were unconscious by the end of it, the other had the appearance of a child again as a price to save my life, and I didn't even have enough chakra left to check whether what we took with us was the real thing or a clone." Sasuke explains as he shrugs his shoulders before he continues as the Kage's don't have the words to retort what he said.
"Second, I had never intended to attack the Kage-summit itself. My target was Danzo and him alone. You guys wouldn't even have known I was there if Zetsu, I take it, hadn't told you. In other words, we were betrayed, which tends to happen more then once to me... Raikage, as a man with a temper I'm sure you understand that I wouldn't back out of such a situation." Sasuke says as his eyes pierce right through Ay's, who has nothing to say against that, his temper being way worse then Sasuke's. "You were the one attacking me headfirst, having not even noticed that Killer Bee wasn't captured by anyone, other then yourself that is."
"Why you brat...!" Ay mumbles, but he knows that no matter how arrogant Sasuke behaves, he speaks the truth.
"About Danzo... My main intention was to ask him if it was true that the Uchiha massacre was an order he had given to my brother... Not only did he confirm this, he also used at least ten Sharingans of my own clan against me during our fight..." Sasuke clenches his fists as he tries to keep the morbid images from his mind and his anger under control. Naruto notices this and Sasuke calms down a bit as he feels Naruto's hand around his own. Multiple Kage's frown in anger or thought. "Danzo would never have been a good Hokage, taken his lust for power. You ought to be glad he's gone."
"Danzo had tried to take control of the new alliance using Uchiha Shizui's Sharingan." The Mizukage recalls. "The commotion that you caused, made him get away with it when he fled. If you hadn't killed him and he had made it back to Konoha, a war between Konoha and the alliance could have broken out... I agree with you that it's better that he's gone and instead of a punishment we should be grateful to you about it."
"I think it is more fitting that an Uchiha takes out the Sharingan thief." Gaara states. "It must have been painful to discover such truths." Compassion is readable from the Kazekage's eyes and Sasuke nods in agreement and gratitude, not trusting his voice which he clears before speaking up again.
"The third thing, about me leaving for Orochimaru. Ever since the Chuunin exams I had the curse mark, which made me experience the power that Orochimaru had to offer, though I first rejected it. The reason that changed was because Itachi showed up, threatening Naruto and making me relive the trauma I had gotten during the massacre through a genjutsu. Naruto was from then on trained more then the rest of us so he could defend himself against the Akatsuki. While I was being told that I should give up on my revenge, making it clear to me that Konoha had nothing more to offer. I believed I could not aim for my own future as long as my brother was still alive and Konoha not wanting to help me, made me leave to the only person who did offer me strength. Though I must say that I never intended to offer my body up to him. From the very beginning I knew I would kill Orochimaru when I no longer needed him."
"Then why didn't you inform anyone about your true intentions?" Onoki asks as he leans forward a bit while resting his head on his folded hands.
"If Sasuke had told me or Tsunade-baa-chan we wouldn't have tried so hard to stop him or get him back." Naruto answers the question, being sick of staying silent like he isn't there. "Orochimaru would have seen through. Not to mention that it was the way Sasuke was treated that made him lose fate in Konoha... We have been to blind to see the pain he was struggling with all along..." Naruto explains as he looks down to the ground at the last line as a wave of guilt overcomes him. None of the Kage's comment on this and Sasuke takes Naruto's hand as he continues.
"As for the last two accusations. I joined the Akatsuki in order to use them too. That's the game that is played all around us after all. Use or get used. I thought I could play it along but I was still so naïf..." Sasuke sighs. "I wanted to make Konoha pay for the pain they had caused my beloved brother. For using him. For using me... But it were mostly Danzo and the elders whom I aimed at. The reanimation jutsu gave me a chance to talk to my brother once more though and it's thanks to him that I changed my mind about it. I no longer wish Konoha any harm. It would make my clan's and brother's sacrifice for nothing..." Sasuke explains as he looks down and a short silence falls for a moment until Sasuke raises his head again looking at all the Kage's as he asks them his next question. "So I ask again; What are the crimes that I am accused of?"
Another silence falls after that. The Kage's just don't know what to say since Sasuke's explanation made it all clear, made his actions seem logical. Eventually it is Mei who breaks the silence, but not with an answer to Sasuke's question.
"I do have one question." She says gaining everyone's attention. "Naruto-kun, its for you though." Naruto blinks a few times as he progresses that she was talking to him.
"Eh... M-me?" He asks as he points at himself with surprise on his face, which Sasuke finds just adorable.
"What is it that you have on your jaw and how did you get it?" Mei asks, referring to the hickey on Naruto's jaw-line which Sasuke had made during their shower exercise.
