Chapter IXXX
Naruto's head spun. "Cracked skull possibly. Haemorage? Possible. Will get Nee-chan to have a look. Now where's that sandy fuck." He looked around and their laying on his back with the look of absolute horror was Gaara. Gaara was paralysed not just by the shock of defeat but because he was bleeding profusely from several wounds including one on his head and he was bleeding and the one who won was supposedly the dead last of his class.
Sasuke had landed with the grace benefitting of an Uchiha Shinobi "So...you won dobe. You have everything! A family and an extended one and that extended one is MINE! THEY SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT ME EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE CHUNIN EXAMS! NOW I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Screamed Sasuke the binding on his cursed seal eroding away and crept across his face.
Naruto looked at Sasuke, he was exhausted and the Uchiha appeared relatively fresh. Naruto concentrated and deep in his gut the fox reluctantly obeyed and refilled Naruto's reserves. The two slid into taijutsu stances "I don't suppose we can talk this over?" Sasuke spat on the ground and charged forwards, flipping onto his hands to launch himself off the ground to try and land a rotating kick to Naruto's chest. Naruto grinned stepped to the sides and kicked Sasuke squarely in the diaphragm. Sasuke spluttered and fell to the ground as three jonin appeared in the clearing.
Gemma jumped down and with ease separated the pair and place a tag on the slowly stirring Gaara "You two will explain yourselves back at the village. Tenzo, grab the boy and Hanzo make sure we are not followed. On their way back to the village Gemma filled the boys in "Sandaime's dead along with five or six other shinobi with forty or so injured and all but five are expected to make a full recovery."
Naruto nodded "What about Team Seven?" Gemma snorted "Sakura is dead and Team Seven is defunct as of now. The pair of you can clearly not be left alone and be cleared to go on missions together. As of right now the pair of you are to go into solitary confinement."
Naruto nodded the next few days were going to suck epically. They arrived back in Konoha to find Shisui, Daichi and a few ANBU waiting for them "Please don't resist...For everything will be worse if you do." Naruto nodded and placed his hands behind his head "Daichi-san please keep ahold of my sword when I get out."
The two found themselves in the same room and the ANBU closed the door "We tolerate no bullshit. So unless the pair of you have a very good reason then we expect the pair of you to NOT FIGHT!" With that the door slammed shut leaving the pair glowering at each other in front of the doorway.
Naruto jumped onto the top bunk. Sasuke put his hands on hips "As an Uchiha, I demand..."
"Fuck all. We get fuck all. Thanks to fucking you. All of this is thanks to fucking you and you're fucking 'me, me, me, me and me bullshit'. You would be dead if I hadn't saved your ass. Yet you repay me by trying to kill me after I had finished dealing with a threat to our home. If this is what you're like now, I can only wonder what you were like when you were a kid."
Sasuke's eyes hardened "You take that back! You're an Orphan! The Dobe! You have no idea of what I felt! Give me the top bunk." Naruto snorted "Eh no. Thankyou for pointing out the fucking obvious asshole. Now shut the fuck up, sit the fuck down or better yet go to sleep. We're stuck with each other for the forseeable future. I do not want to here or even cope with your whining and bitching."
Sasuke slid next to the wall where a bucket was positioned for them to relieve themselves. He was going to make Naruto pay, how he hadn't decided but deep down he knew that Naruto was right.
(Gemma et al)
Konoha had cleared the streets and had began the repairs on the village. Gemma, Hana, Shisui, Kakashi, Sakumo and Kushina were all sitting in the Mahou clan estate clutching bottles of sake. "What did my sochi do exactly? To get put in solitary?" Asked Kushina curiously.
"I saw him and Uchiha Sasuke fighting each other and not one of them had restrained Sabaku no Gaara. I didn't bother to get the story because it was unimportant at the time."
The Hatake's nodded "We'll get them out tomorrow morning or what's left of them and we'll get their reports." Gemma nodded "Agriato Kakashi-san. I'm heading to bed." Gemma said draining the last of her sake. She grabbed Hana and Shisui before leaving the room.
(Next day)
The door to the jail cell burst open and Four members of the ANBU burst in. Two grabbed Naruto and two grabbed Sasuke and promptly dragged the pair of them out of the cell. One calmly and the twitching. Outside stood even in Naruto's less than informed studies was Tsunade of the Legendary Sannin wearing the Hokage's hat. "Come with me." She growled and Naruto gulped "I'm about to become a Civilian. I'm about to become a civilian."
Tsunade and her entourage took the genin into the courtroom which was packed with Civilians and Shinobi alike. The shinobi were calm and expressionless whilst the Civilians were smirking at Naruto because they knew that the moment Tsunade had made her decision he would be theirs.
"I want to know exactly from your mouths the reason you two decided to bring your genin problems to the forefront when Konoha was engaged in a war for her very survival." Tsunade stated.
Sasuke went forwards to give his account of what happened the moment the invasion had started. The civilians clapped and whooped at the account, Sasuke was an Uchiha and they were gods so everything they said was the utter truth.
Tsunade nodded and jotted down crucial notes she was going to cross reference what Naruto said and then come to her own conclusions. Naruto's events were pretty accurate but a bit scattered at the initial outbreak of the crush but several veteran chunin had calmly voiced that they had seen Naruto in several running skirmishes.
Then they came to crux of the issue "Uchiha Sasuke says he you gave him permission to become the vanguard and chase down the Subaku Siblings and yet you claim you didn't. Explain." However Kakashi stood up "Hokage-Sama, I told Uzumaki Naruto, the Late Haruno Sakura to track down and halt the Sand Siblings as Sasuke had evidently gotten his orders from another jonin sensei or superior." Tsunade nodded mixed mission orders were common in these scenarios so she jotted that down.
She began to comb over the differences. From what it appeared Sasuke had gained a significant head start over any potential reinforcement and had caught up with Subaku no Temari. The T&I department had gathered that the Uchiha had broken the Elemental Nation Convention in the fact that he was about to execute a surrendering shinobi.
The questioning and cross checking of the hearing to examine if this should go to a court marshal lasted another fifteen minutes "I, Senju Tsunade, Godaime Hokage, declare that this matter concerning the actions and behaviour between Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke during the invasion not needed for a Court Marshal. However according to Mahou Gemma your jonin sensei..."
"Jonin Sensei Apprentice, Hokage Sama." Snapped Sasuke smugly. "Not needed Sasuke." Growled Naruto, he was sick to death of this already "My apologies for interupting Hokage-Sama. You were saying."
Tsunade cleared her throat "However this combat between the pair of you is a direct dereliction of duties. That will be a court marshal held tomorrow at Noon Hatake Time."
Hatake Time meant the civilians should arrive so the trial would be at eight in the morning "You both are to return to your respective houses and remain their until the trial."
"Neville-niisan tell me straight." Said Naruto as they trudged home "How fucked am I? How does the court marshal work?"
"Tsunade-Sama, Twelve Jonin, Two representatives and yourselves will be present. You will do the exact same here except you are going to be scrutinised much more closely. Naruto, I believe you as does Hermione and I'm pretty sure you have some clan heads on your side especially when it came to your telling of events. Only three people saw Sasuke whereas multiple witnesses saw you. As for the outcome...Death is possible. Suspension of pay and possible restrictions more likely. This isn't a D-Rank gone wrong." Naruto nodded.
"I know. Sasuke came at me with intent to kill or seriously maim and I defended myself." Neville nodded "Think nothing of it. Tomorrow Tsunade-Sama will sort this out."
