'Naruto, go on a date with me.' Itachi said with an expression that gave nothing away.
'What!?' Naruto was completely thrown off; Itachi was supposed to be… well… anything; not asking him on date. That was unexpected.
He said date right? Naruto thought. He had heard clearly what Itachi had said. But for some reason it wasn't sinking in.
'Uh… um… I… U…' he stammered. Then he tried to keep himself composed and rephrased what he had been trying to say.
'Uchiha-san, what are you trying to say?' he asked dumbly.
'I'm asking you on a date. Naruto.'
'Why?' Naruto felt like slapping himself for asking such dull questions.
'Take it as a trust earning process. Just like everyone else, let's start from the beginning where we get to know each other better. And after this, if you still don't trust me, what ever you decide do, I won't stop you. So what do you say?'
'I…' his face felt hot and somehow, there was a lump in his throat that blocked his voice. He cleared his voice and said
'I will go.'
'Okay' replied Itachi as if he had been expecting that answer. Right. His mind had been in frenzy all this time despite his stoic exterior. And now Naruto had said yes; he felt like bouncing off the walls. But come on, when would you ever find Uchiha Itachi doing "a happy dance"? And Naruto wasn't making it easy for him; blushing like that. He was so cute.
So still keeping his cool, Itachi savoured Naruto's expression in case it was the last he would see on Naruto.
'But no trying something funny.' Naruto added to divert his attention from looking at Itachi and feeling so hot from it. He felt nervous. He had just agreed to go on a date with Itachi. Where was Itachi taking him? What would happen on the date? Something like what had happened when they had dinner together just the two of them?
I hope not; because I don't know what I will do if it happens. Naruto thought.
Thinking about what Itachi would try while on the date made his nerves build up more as if what he had been feeling before was a nerve starter; and next the main course. Besides being Nervous, he felt flustered. The anticipation of what would happen made the pit of his stomach heavy.
'We are going now.' Itachi snapped him out of his daze.
'Huh? Now?' he asked with a panicked tone.
Now? Now is not a good time. I'm too nervous. Oh god. What have I just agreed to? Calm down Naruto. It's just a date, nothing more. Okay? He tried to calm himself.
'We have to go now or Deidara-kun will make me do my work. So let's go.'
'But I have to change?' asked Naruto, purposely stalling.
'You don't need to change; if changing is needed we are going to change on the way.' With that, Itachi grabbed Naruto's hand and walked outside through the back door; the media people were still in the front yard. On the way out, Itachi called for his car and the car came to the back yard as soon as they got there.
'Get in before the reporters realise that my car which was supposed to be at the front is missing.' Naruto didn't even get a chance to wow at the car when Itachi started the engine. Naruto quickly got into the car. The front gate was a bit far from the front door where the reporters were, so when they saw the car, it was already out of the gate.
'Uchiha-san, where are we going?' Naruto asked.
'Where do you want to go?' Itachi asked back.
'How should I know? You are the one taking me out so I have no idea where you had planned on taking me.'
'I didn't plan on where to go. But I guess I will just have to make it a surprise to you.'
'Right' responded Naruto. He wasn't sure whether he wanted to know the surprise or not. Guess I'll just wait and see. He thought; and tried to relax himself; sitting next to Itachi, even though their seats were separated, he felt hot. And each time Itachi moved his arms when driving, Naruto imagined them sliding onto his body.
Oh god no!
He shook his head to rid himself of such thoughts. However, his mind refused to let go of the sinful images he was having about Itachi. He blamed it on the little sleep he had had last night; be damned the media for making him wake up so early. Like everyone else in the house, Naruto had planned to sleep in since they had stayed up late after the party.
The party had begun at 7pm, and half way through it, Itachi had disappeared. Naruto was left to fend off the ladies with suffocating perfumes and heavy make up who were attacking him with different sorts of questions about Itachi. In addition to his quick healing abilities, Naruto had heightened senses which were a disadvantage at a time like this. He felt like vomiting at the mixed perfumes.
At round 9pm, the twins wanted to go to sleep and Ino appeared out of no where.
'Let me take them. I'm going that way too.' She had said and taken the twins to bed. Naruto had looked around for anyone he knew; he spotted Sasuke and Neji disappear up the stairs; probably going to sleep. But it was too early for them to go to sleep…
He had walked into the lounge area of the hall and found Deidara sipping his champagne lazily. He looked depressed; disappointed at something. Naruto went and sat across from him.
'Deidara-san, is everything okay?'
'Huh? Yeah. I'm okay.' He responded with a smile which was clearly forced.
'You don't look okay to me'
'Really. It's nothing.'
'Come on, you can tell me what's wrong.' Persisted Naruto. There was nothing he could do if told about what was bothering Deidara. But he wanted to be there to listen; just like Deidara had done.
'I can't do anything about whatever is wrong, but I can listen. You listened to me. So let me listen to you. It feels great letting it out and knowing that someone is there listening to you. So come on. Are you waiting for someone?' Naruto said sincerely.
'Well I have been waiting for someone. He couldn't make it yesterday to dinner but he said he was definitely going to be here tonight. He went to see his family about two weeks ago. I'm worried.' He shared with Naruto.
No I'm worried and I miss him. Deidara thought to himself.
'So you miss him.' Naruto stated as if he had read Deidara's mind. That startled Deidara and he responded with a dumb;
'Heh?'
Naruto just raised an eyebrow saying "am I right?"
'fine, I miss him a little, okay I miss him a lot; but he has never left me for more that a week before. And without a phone call. I'm so gonna kill him when he gets back' Deidara admitted with an angry tone.
'Haha…um… I hope that's just a saying. Right. You are not serious about killing him?' Naruto laughed nervously.
'It's just a saying. But I'm really mad at him.'
There was silence between them; it was a silence that said I understand how you feel.
'Anyway, Deidara-san, I would like to know how you came to know Uchiha-san.' Said Naruto as a way to take Deidara's mind off who ever he was depressing about.
'Naruto-kun. Are you using Uchiha-san instead of his first name because you want to believe that you are not close to him?' finally Deidara asked. It had been bothering him like crazy. Itachi had began using Naruto's name without any suffixes but Naruto was still hang up on using Itachi's last name with a suffix.
'Ahh you got me. You see, if I use his first name, I feel so close and intimate with him. It scares me.' Naruto explained himself.
'I see. Anyway you wanted to know how I met Itachi-kun. You see, we met in high school in the senior year.' Deidara began.
It was the second semester of senior high school. The bell rang announcing the beginning of classes. Even thought the teacher had walked in, everyone chattered on about whatever went on in their teenage lives. The teacher cleared his throat to get their attention; delinquents of the class carried on talking and the compliant students immediately became quiet. Nonetheless the teacher began talking.
'Everyone, I would like you to welcome our new student. Please be nice to him.'
In walked a young man with long black hair which was loosely tied at the back, and which contrasted with his pale skin so well. He had dark piercing eyes. His expression was hard to read. Despite the school uniform which was supposed to make him look like everyone else, he was completely from a different world from everyone. Literally. He got everyone's attention just by being there. He was from the worthiest families in Japan.
'Well, now introduce yourself to everyone.' The teacher said nervously. This kid was scary.
'The name is Uchiha Itachi.' He introduced with a tone that said "that is all you need to know so no more questions." The girls who had their hands up for questions frowningly dropped them. But that didn't stop them from having stars and love hearts in their eyes. The boys who thought had chances with the girls instantly found an enemy in Itachi.
The teacher looked around the classroom to find a better place for the new student. The classroom was packed and the only place available was in the midst of the delinquents, and amongst the delinquents was a blond with a high ponytail and some of the hair was parted to the front covering his left eye; you would think his hair was bleached since it is rare to find a Japanese person with such hair. But he was pure Japanese. His silverish light blue eyes didn't make the matter any better. His name was Deidara and he looked like he wanted nothing to do with the arrogant new student.
Next to Deidara on the left sat a student with blue hair by the name of Kisame; he was napping.
The teacher groaned; he didn't want to put the new student among them for various reasons. One of them being, Itachi was the heir of the Uchihas, who supported the school, financially.
While the teacher was agonizing on how to treat the Uchiha heir, Itachi had gone and sat next to the frowning Deidara. Nothing was said between them however the tense atmosphere among them was obvious.
The bell rang for the next lesson which was Art. And for some reason, Deidara seemed to rush to the lesson; the reason that Itachi soon found out. Deidara was involved with the Art teacher; in a sexual relationship. Someone simply looking wouldn't notice anything but someone who looked at people with a calculating gaze like Itachi would noticed it right away; he noticed how Deidara's eyes glowed when looking at the teacher and the same applied to the teacher. The Art teacher was young with red spiky hair, brown eyes and pale skin.
At the end of the lesson which was also time for lunch, Itachi approached Deidara.
'What do you want?' was the blunt question from Deidara.
'Oh, just wanted to know more about the school. You see I'm new here.' Responded Itachi nonchalantly.
'Find someone else to show you around.'
'I want you to show me around. You look like someone who knows where to hang when ditching classes.'
'Why you. I don't want to have anything to do with you. So leave me alone already.' Yelled Deidara.
'Why don't you want anything to do with me? It is because of my family name?'
'Well that, and you have the all and mighty attitude. Anyway what is an Uchiha doing to a public school? Shouldn't you be in a prestigious school or something?'
'I don't see why that is any of your business. But since you asked so nicely I will tell you. My father wants me to take over the Uchiha companies soon. And I told him, I will take over if I have my own workers; I want to build my own team. So I came here to find them. And as for school, I have already finished, that is I was home schooled even on the higher education. So from now on, you will help me find people.'
'I see. You Uchihas look down on everyone as if you rule the world. And you are crazy to think that I will just join you because you decided so. If you are looking for people to work for you, why not look in places like the student council or something; there are smart people there.'
'I think you are smart. You are just lazy. Besides with your grades now, do you even think there is a university that will take you? So you might as well grab the opportunity I'm offering you.'
'Just shut up you. I will never work for the Uchihas. And don't follow me again. You bastard.'
With that, Deidara walked away leaving a smirking Uchiha; Itachi wasn't going to give up yet. For some reason, Deidara played dumb, but Itachi had found one of his future workers. He was just going to observe until graduation.
So. From then on, Itachi began his mission to recruit Deidara and for Deidara to help him with finding other people. Itachi just wanted a few young people he could relate to and trust to work for him; he didn't trust some of his father's people.
The next person he recruited was Hoshigaki Kisame from the martial arts club. There was also one person that Itachi had trusted in the school; the person who had a great affect on Itachi's trust in people. And that person was a silver haired teen by the name of Yakushi Kabuto…
Unfortunately before the semester came to an end there was misfortune in the Uchiha house hold; Itachi's parents were found dead in their holiday villa. The killer was later discovered as Yakushi Kabuto working for Orochimaru. Apparently Itachi's parents had been sponsoring Orochimaru on his project which was unspecified to the Uchihas. So when they found out that the project was human experiments, they tried to back out.
Orochimaru couldn't risk exposure and he needed the money; and that's where Kabuto comes in; befriending Itachi, earning his trust that Itachi would share everything about his family.
Itachi blamed himself for their death. If only he hadn't trusted Kabuto, then maybe things would have turned out different.
And he had been right not to trust some of his father's workers from the beginning. After the funeral. No. in the midst of the mourning they had began devising plans on how to deceive Itachi into giving them ownership to the business. With the reasoning that Itachi was too young to take over the company. Fortunately Itachi had been fully trained to run the business and he was a prodigy. Besides that, nobody could delude him after what he had experienced.
His parents had severed all ties with the other Uchihas. So the only relative he had was his little brother Sasuke.
At the age of eighteen, he took over the business and a year later Orochimaru and Kabuto were arrested for murder. And when they found them in their hide out which was the lab, they discovered the human experiments and extended their period in jail.
A year later? The police sure took their sweet time in finding them.
Since then, Itachi couldn't just trust anyone; he developed the mentality that everyone who tried to get close to him had an ulterior motive.
When Itachi took over the business, he went back to high school to find Deidara and Kisame. They had agreed to work for him.
On how he had met Ino and Sai, well, Ino went to the same high school as Sasuke and she was recommended by Sasuke.
As for Sai, he had come to assassinate Itachi and had failed. Thought it doesn't make sense at all, Itachi had offered Sai to become his hitman. Anyway, Sai couldn't return to whoever had sent him with a failed mission. So he had gladly accepted the offer. Itachi had helped him erase all traces about himself from whoever had sent him; making him a dead man. Thus, he pledged his full loyalty to Itachi.
Itachi carried a sleeping Naruto out of the car. Naruto had slept all the way to here. He must have been tired. They had arrived where Itachi wanted to bring Naruto for their date; the port of Tokyo; no. they were going to board his cruise ship which was leaving in a few minutes.
He walked into the Supreme bedroom of the ship and he laid Naruto on the king sized bed with red silk covers.
Naruto woke and sat up in bed as Itachi was walking in the room from the balcony of the bedroom. Itachi had just finished a very important phone call to Sai; telling him to take care of some business that required his other skills, not his bodyguard skills…
'Ah, you are up.' Greeted Itachi.
'Where are we?' asked a confused Naruto. He remembered being in Itachi's car, then…
'We are on my ship.'
'Ship? Where are we going? What about my kids?' Naruto covered his mouth when he realised what he had just said.
'I mean, the kids… not my kids…' he stammered trying to cover up his mistake.
No. if Itachi finds out that they are my kids, he is going to tie me down knowing that I can't leave my kids. Naruto panicked.
Itachi climbed onto the bed and faced Naruto.
'I know. Naruto. I know that they are your kids… and mine.' Itachi said watching Naruto's reaction.
'How?' Naruto asked trying to fight the lump building up in his throat.
'I overheard you and Deidara-kun talk about it.'
Naruto's reaction was of devastation; as if he'd lost everything in his life.
'No!! You can't take them away from me. They are the only ones left for me. I won't let you take them from me. No way!!! Please don't do this to me. Please don't take them away from me. They are not yours. You rejected them when you rejected me!!' Naruto knew he was losing it. But he didn't care.
'Naruto. Calm down.' Itachi held Naruto by the shoulders. It hurt to see Naruto so broken just by the thought that he was going to lose the twins.
Naruto didn't calm down; he felt like attacking Itachi for all the pain he had caused him. He felt like that was the moment to let it all out onto Itachi.
'You don't get it at all do you? Do you even know how much pain I was in when I came to you? And you pushed me away? The day I found out about my forsaken past and the day that past caught up with me? I needed someone I opened my heart to, to tell me that everything was going to be okay. To tell me I was not alone. When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't know what to do. What could I have done besides seeking comfort? What man gets pregnant? I felt like I was a freak, especially when you pushed me away. I thought, maybe I'm not supposed to live, what is the point of living if I don't have a past and I don't have a future? What did I ever do to deserve such a life? I wanted to die. I wished I had no heart to feel such pain…' Naruto sobbed uncontrollably.
He stopped his struggling in Itachi's arms in defeat. Itachi didn't respond; he couldn't change the past. So the least he could do was let Naruto take it all out on him to his heart's content. He just held Naruto in his embrace tightly, rocking him from side to side; letting Naruto know that he wasn't going anywhere this time.
'The only person I thought of was you. And yet you… you… went and accused me of wanting your money. I didn't want any of your money; I didn't sleep with you for your money. I didn't even know who you were when I slept with you. And yet my heart had opened up for you against my will. If it wasn't for the twins, I would be dead by now. I decided to live for them, even if it meant seeing your face where ever I went for the rest of my life; in the magazines, on bill boards...So you can't take them away from. They are my life. You won't fool me by giving me expensive gifts. You yourself said I was after your money and just to insult me again, you go and give me a car which was bought by the same money you accused me of. What do you want from me? Why me. Isn't there someone out there dying to be showered with your money? Surely you can get any person you want beside me. Why me? Please don't let me go through that again. I don't want to… I don't want to… I don't want to… I don't want to…' cried on Naruto.
'I'm sorry Naruto, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.' Itachi apologized to Naruto like a mantra while still rocking him from side to side.
'I won't take them away from you. So don't cry. I only want you. I dont want anyone else but you. I want to have you and the kids with me forever.' Reassured Itachi.
Naruto sat between Itachi's legs with his back resting onto Itachi's chest on the bed. And Itachi had his arms around Naruto in a protective embrace. Naruto was calm now from his crying and he became so hot all over his body from just feeling Itachi's hard chest against his clothed back. He leaned back further into Itachi's chest and he felt Itachi shiver involuntarily. As if through empathy, Naruto shivered involuntarily too from their contact.
Without saying anything, Itachi tilted Naruto's head by the chin towards him and kissed him hungrily. It had been so long since he had been craving Naruto's taste. The other time at dinner hadn't been enough. Naruto moaned into the kiss. He felt Itachi's hot, wet tongue trace his tingling lips. Automatically, he parted them and Itachi inserted his tongue in.
While their lips were still engaged in the passionate kiss, Itachi's hands moved to undo Naruto's shirt buttons. Then slowly one hand glided up and down Naruto's body; from the chest to just below the bellybutton. Naruto's lower part leaned into the touch, aching to be touched there, but Itachi avoided it. His other hand found Naruto's nipples and began playing with them in circular motions then pinching them a little occasionally.
Naruto felt Itachi's hard member grind against his back. He groaned; wanting it to be inside him. He wanted Itachi inside him dammit.
Itachi reached for Naruto's pants' zipper and unzipped it. His hand slowly slid in the boxers and grabbed a hold of Naruto's member. He pressed his thumb against Naruto's slit and his other fingers moved smoothly on the underside of the hard on.
Naruto moaned at the sensation and tilted his head back against Itachi; exposing his smooth neck to Itachi. Without much ado, Itachi licked Naruto's neck and nibbled here and there; marking him. Soon Naruto's pants and boxers were gone and Itachi carried on his ministrations on Naruto's throbbing manhood. Itachi's hand's movements quickened and Naruto's moans grew louder.
'No… aha!! Itachi… no! If you do that I'm gonna… I'm gonna…' panted Naruto.
'Its okay let it go.' Itachi breathed hot air into Naruto's ear.
Those were like unbinding words to Naruto; he came into Itachi's hand, providing lubrication for what was to come next.
Before Naruto could recover from his high, Itachi's cum coated finger entered him. Naruto flinched a little at the intruder. Soon a second finger followed. Itachi moved the fingers in a scissoring motion. Stretching him. Naruto cried out when a third finger was added. God it hurt like hell. Itachi distracted Naruto from the pain by pumping up his manhood again while whispering in Naruto's ear soothingly.
'It's okay. Naruto. It will be fine. Okay?'
Naruto's body shuddered when Itachi's fingers made contact with something inside him. When Itachi felt that Naruto was ready, he pulled his fingers out of Naruto's opening and he quickly got rid of his clothes; finally freeing his aching hard on. He couldn't take it anymore. He had to be inside Naruto. Soon. It had been painful enough having Naruto squeeze his fingers so hard while they were inside of him.
Upon realising that Naruto still had his shirt on, Itachi growled at the offensive material. It was in the way of him indulging himself in Naruto's body.
He turned Naruto towards him in a sitting position in which Naruto was straddling his hips. He lifted Naruto up and with his other hand; he positioned himself against Naruto's opening. Slowly and gently, he pulled Naruto down onto his shaft by the hips. Naruto wrapped his arms around Itachi's neck and threw his head back. He cried out in pain; such unbearable pain. It felt like he was on fire.
'Ahh!! Ita... ah...chii!! Hurts... it hurts!!'
'It's okay. I'm gonna make you feel good. Naruto. So bear with it for a little while. It's almost all the way in. relax.' soothed Itachi.
When he was swallowed to the hilt, Itachi pulled Naruto down for a kiss as a sorry for the pain. His hands kept massaging Naruto's lower back to lessen the pain. He didn't move until Naruto's tear glistening eyes made contact with his saying "you can move now"
Itachi grabbed Naruto's hips' and began sliding in and out of Naruto agonizingly slow. Not getting enough, Naruto moved his hips frantically against Itachi; he wanted more, he wanted to feel more of Itachi. But Itachi was torturing him by going so slow and gently.
Itachi getting the message, his movements became faster and harder. With each powerful thrust, he managed to hit that spot; the spot that made Naruto feel like he was losing his sanity. He could feel Itachi's hard member become even bigger inside of him. As for Itachi, Naruto was squeezing so hard that he had to fight with himself to keep his control and not hurt Naruto. It felt so hot inside Naruto. Just like he remembered. Naruto was the only one that could make him almost lose his control.
The room was filled with their moans, heavy breathing and the scent of their love making.
Itachi lay back onto the bed and he pulled Naruto with him. His now loose hair spread onto the pillow messily. He kissed Naruto. Their kisses were wet; and that reflected how wet Naruto was. Itachi continued his thrusting into Naruto who was now leaning on top of him with his back bent and his head thrown back. Did he even realise what an erotic picture he painted for Itachi? who needs aphrodisiac?
Itachi reached for Naruto's hard on and began pumping it simultaneously with his thrusts.
'Ita… ahh!! Noo… I'm gon…na come. Itachi… no…' cried out Naruto trying to last a little longer for Itachi. Itachi hadn't come yet. He wanted to make Itachi feel good. Oh, he had no idea how much he was driving Itachi to the edge my panting out his name like that.
'It's… okay. Naruto. Come. Come as much as you want…'
'But... but... yo...u…'
'It's alright… ah I want to make you feel good. Naruto! You. Ah…re making me feel good too. Okay…!!'
'Ita… chi… do it .in… inside me!'
Dear god Naruto. Stop saying such hot things! Itachi thought to himself.
Their synchronized rhythm quickened and it became disorderly.
'Itachii!!' 'Naruto!!' the cries of each other's names announced the climax of their union.
Naruto collapsed on top of Itachi and he passed out instantly. Itachi held Naruto tightly and he didn't slide out of him for a little while. He pulled up the covers to keep them warm. And he smiled.
Itachi leaned on his elbow facing Naruto who was resting against his chest. His hand automatically reached out to pull back a strand of Naruto's messy hair that was hanging onto his face. Dejavu; Itachi remembered the same thing happening when they had first met in the hotel. With the exception that this time, he didn't pull away like he had been burnt. This time, he let his fingers linger a little bit more on Naruto's cheek, then his thumb slowly slid to Naruto's kiss swollen lips; he felt his ego double up and he smirked to see that the reason Naruto was looking so ravished was because of him.
He had finally had Naruto after six years and he hadn't been able to extinguish the desire to posses Naruto; the desire that had been burning for the past six years without rest. When they had joined, Itachi had become more definite that Naruto belonged to him; Naruto was meant for him only. Permanently.
Naruto's face looked so serene and trusting. Itachi remembered again that that's the expression that Naruto had on in the hotel; he had trusted him even though they had been strangers to each other.
Naruto still had a beautiful captivating face. This time though, a little more mature than last time. Itachi felt pain grip his heart just thinking about what Naruto's life had been; it made him more determined to give Naruto the life he never had.
Naruto stirred and opened his eyes. He found himself looking into the dark eyes of Itachi. Then his eyes moved lower to Itachi's bare chest, then lower past his stomach and they met with a pair of trousers. He breathed in a sigh of relief; for a minute there he had believed that they had done what his mind was telling him. But wait, if they hadn't done anything, why was Itachi under the covers with him? On the same bed? And not to mention his trousers were undone.
Mechanically, Naruto flipped the covers covering his lower part of the body and he jolted up only to receive a sharp pain into his lower back and hips.
'Oh god no.' He said and laid back onto the bed and pulled the covers over his head. Maybe if he flips them for the second time, everything would have just been a dream? To no avail.
'Hey.' Itachi greeted him. He had just watched what Naruto had just done. Was he regretting it? No. Itachi wasn't going to let him get out of it that easily.
'Um… umm, Ita… Uchiha-san. Did we?' Naruto asked nervously. And he was blushing like a high school student on their first sex. Come on, this was his second time. So there was nothing to be blushing about.
'Why call me by my last name when you were calling me Itachi just a few minutes ago?'
Naruto's face became flushed even more.
'Just answer the question.' His voice lacked the intimidation; his voice quivered.
'What if I say yes and what if I say no. what are you going to do? When you already know the answer?'
No this can't be happening! Naruto screamed in his mind. He gripped his head as if to squash all the memories of what had just taken place. They had done it. What did that mean? What did Itachi want to do with him now? Get rid of him just like before? No! He didn't want to get through that again. He would rather die than go through that life again.
'Naruto' called Itachi; taking Naruto's hands in his.
'Naruto. Please don't cry again. It seems that all I do is make you cry. Isn't it? Please tell me you are crying because you are happy. I don't want to ever see you cry of sadness because of me. I love you Naruto, so much to the point that it hurts so badly when you are not with me. Naruto, give yourself to me. I want all of you. I want to have you, feel you for the rest of my life. Let me love you. Marry me Naruto.' Proposed Itachi leaning over a crying Naruto on the bed as if to symbolise that he was there to protect him. He held Naruto's left hand firmly in his left hand for dear life and his right hand made its way into his pocket; gripping a red, small, but precious box.
