Two days later...

Naruto knocked on the sturdy double doors of the Hokage's office. He glanced at Minoru who was off to the side who shrugged at him in response. After a moment, they heard a muffled "Come in" and opened the doubled doors.

Kakashi looked up from a file he was reading and gestured for them to sit, "There's a couple of things I need to go over with the both of you." He looked down at the files in front of him before fixing his gaze on his son, "Since I know that you're practicing absorbing chakra," he sighed, "I found something in our rather disorganized hospital files..."

Both Naruto and Minoru didn't like where this was going.

"It's unnerving, there are a lot of cases for the same individual for chakra poisoning. The reports that correspond explain that it was sure to drawing it out directly from an enemy or an attack. Either way, they wound up in the hospital, some times worse than others," his expression softened, "Minoru, what I'm trying to say with this... Is to be careful, which I'm sure that you, and that Naruto is making sure of that," he shot a look at the blonde, "I know that you're trying to figure things out, and you're doing a very good job... Just be careful when testing your limits."

Minoru managed a small smile, "I know, dad."

Naruto gave Minoru a sideways glance and noticed the tension in him. He frowned and looked back at Kakashi, "You don't have to scare him."

Kakashi glared, "I'm not trying to. This is unfortunately something that can happen, and from the looks of these reports, they were being careless. I trust that Minoru won't be." The expression is his eyes shifted to amusement, "I'm sure you don't want anything to happen to him either..."

Naruto fought a blush and frowned, and turned away to look at Minoru who gave him a warm smile.

"The other matter at hand that I wanted to discuss with you two is that mission I mentioned the other day," both shinobi turned their attention to him, "As you know, our truce with Takigakure has been compromised, currently they do now see us as an ally due to a conflict with Ishigakure. I don't want to take any chances, therefore I need our scrolls back before I try to talk to them," he sighed and leaned back on his chair, "I also need you to retrieve their political plan so I know what they're up to. Needless to say, you need to do this without being seen, as if you were never there. I don't want then assuming or knowing that it was us." He directed his attention to Naruto, "You will supervise, I want Minoru to take this chance to think on his own and treat it as a solo mission."

Minoru nodded, "When do we leave?"

"No later than noon tomorrow, I'll give you rest of the day to do any preparations. As for length, I expect you two back in two to three days, giving traveling time."

They both nodded in understanding.

"If you have no further questions, then you two are dismissed and I'm late for next my meeting," he said, both eyes turning to inverted U's.

"When are you not..."

They left the Hokage tower and Naruto walked with Minoru to the mission room for his shift. As they neared the building he lightly grasped the younger man's elbow, "Are you okay?"

Minoru offered the older man a smile, "I'll be okay," he assured him, "I just...," he trailed off with a sigh, "I don't like this feeling."

Naruto's brows furrowed with concern, "You're getting it though, your hard work is paying off."

"Is it though?" Minoru asked and Naruto's expression softened.

"You can't discredit everything you've accomplished. Everyday, you never cease to amaze me. I know that a lot of it is a guessing game, but damn you're doing a pretty good job at it." Minoru smiled at him, a genuine smile. He brought up a hand and cupped a fair skinned cheek, "You are an amazing person and shinobi, don't ever forget that."

Minoru felt a blush creep into his face, "You're not so bad yourself." Naruto chuckled and Minoru leaned in too give him a brief kiss, "I'll see you after my shift."

They departed and Minoru took a deep breath before going through the double doors to see Hatchi already behind the desk

The hours seem to drag, but his shift was finally coming to an end. Sixty more slow minutes and he could leave the building that contained Hatchi. Who he was trying to avoid once he noticed he seemed off. He sometimes wondered what was with him - namely towards him. He noticed, but frankly he didn't care enough. He took the liberty to put away the reports from that morning, making sure they were properly filled out. Minoru moved to the filing cabinet and looked over his shoulder when Hatchi stood and started to gather his things. He glanced at the clock and sighed when it told him there were thirty minutes left.

"I'm leaving."

Minoru looked at the other man confused, "You have thirty minutes left until the next person comes in to cover you."

"If you have a problem with it take it up with your dad," Hatchi said, moving from out from behind his desk.

Minoru glared, "Can you please stop referring to the Hokage as my dad."

"I suppose you're right," Hatchi's icy eyes were on him, "Since he's not your real dad anyway."

Minoru starred as the other man turned and left. The doors stopped their swinging and he swallowed, and closed the file cabinet when he realized he forgot what he was looking for. He moved to sit behind the desk and waited until his shift was over.

Naruto opened his door to find Minoru standing behind it, he seemed to have opened it right when the younger man arrived, "Wait...I thought we were meeting at the training grounds?" Midnight blue eyes looked at him and noticed how Minoru opened his mouth as if to say something but didn't. "Is everything okay?"

Minoru hesitated, and mentally shook himself, "Oh...no, I guess I forgot."

Naruto furrowed his brows and led the younger man inside. He eyed the younger man when he paced in his living room, "Minoru, did something happen?"

Minoru untied his hatai ate and set it on the coffee table before bringing his hands up and rubbing at his face, "It's stupid, it's so stupid," he groaned and ran frustrated hands through his hair.

"What happened?" Naruto's voice was full of concern, and dark eyes glanced at him before averting their gaze.

"It's stupid - it's so stupid - It's not like I don't know! Why can't he just keep his mouth shut? Why does he have to say things -"

"Minoru," Naruto interrupted gently, "Breathe." The younger man took a deep breath, and raggedly let it out and clenched his jaw. He closed the distance between when he saw the dark eyes glisten, "What happened?"

Minoru bit his lip and shook his head, "That bastard," he cursed softly, "I've told him, time and time again, I don't even know how many times - I've told him to please not refer to the Hokage as my dad - it's disrespectful let alone embarrassing if someone overhears!" Minoru groaned and paced, "And? blah blah blah your dad, blah blah this your dad, take it up with your dad." He clenched his jaw.

Naruto knew Minoru well enough to know what took get him upset. To see him so upset was rare and somewhat hard to witness, "What did he tell you?"

Minoru bit his lip, and felt tears sting his eyes and he wasn't sure if it was from his anger, "He supposed I was right since he's not my real dad," he heard his voice crack, "But you see - I know that - I'm not stupid. I know I was adopted, I know Kakashi and Iruka aren't my real parents - I know that! That's why I feel like a damn mystery to myself!" He felt tears run down his face and suddenly Naruto was right there, wrapping his strong and comforting arms around him. Lips kissed his forehead and fingers wiped at his eyes. And he let himself lose some of his control, let the older man's touches sooth him.

Minoru swiped at his eyes, and had to move to sit down. He automatically moved to the foot of the bed, next to the window. He looked up as the older man pulled up the desk chair to sit in front of him, "This kind of thing doesn't usually bother me, it doesn't, people say things sometimes...I just…," he looked down at this hands on his lap, and a slightly tanned one intertwined with his, making a smile tug on his lips, "I feel lost lately, it's like once I think I figure something out I realize that I don't. I don't know what's really going on, or what I'm doing with this bloodline that apparently has the potential of killing me. I try not to think about it, I don't like to dwell on it, I do what I can to keep myself and others safe."

He traced the palm with invisible patterns and looked up at the older man, "But in the end, I know who I am, what I'm capable of, how to handle myself,...who I love," he brought the older man's hand up to his lips and kissed it's knuckles, "and who's important to me, and what's important to me...just that lately, I've been at a lost with myself, but I'm trying," his voice cracked and the hand in his moved to cup his cheek, brushing its thumb under his eyes. He smiled and looked at the older man, at the warm blue eyes, "It seems like that bastard finally got to me."

Naruto grinned at him, "Don't worry, I can beat him up for you."

Minoru laughed, "I don't need you fighting my battles." He lovingly cupped the older man's jaw, "But I do need you. I don't know where I would be if it weren't for you, Naruto," he moved his hands to comb through the golden locks, "You've always been so patient with me, even when I would get frustrated with myself. And I don't think I've ever thanked you for everything that you've done for me."

Naruto shook his head, the fingers in his hair moving with the motion, "You don't have to thank me, I wanted to...and I still want to. And I'm so glad that I did," he chuckled, "At some point I used our training sessions as an excuse to be alone with you." Minoru smiled widely at him and the hands in his hair moved the back of his neck and pulled him in for a tender kiss. He found himself being pulled, moving from the chair he was sitting on and crawling onto the bed as Minoru shifted back. He sighed when Minoru pulled him flush on top of him, parting his legs as he did so. He delved his tongue into the younger man's mouth, eliciting a soft moan. Hands snaked into his shirt and up his back, making his skin break out into goosebumps at the tender touch.

A subtle rhythm started between them, shirts were stripped off and deft hands removed pants. Naruto trailed his mouth over flushed skin, mapping sensitive spots, reveling in the sounds Minoru made. He moved lower, over the abdominals dipping his tongue into his lover's navel. The younger man's breath quickened as he kept going, letting his breath ghost over the erection begging for attention. Minoru cried out above him when he took it into his mouth, dragging his tongue along the shaft and around the head. He held the slender hips, felt them twitch under his hands as he began a slow teasing rhythm.

All Minoru could do was pant for air and moan as Naruto bobbed his head. All he could focus on was that hot mouth - that hot tongue - wrapped around him, tasting him, teasing him. He spread his legs wider when he felt a slick finger trace his entrance, not even caring where it came from. He reached down and threaded his fingers into the blonde locks and moaned when the finger pushed inside of him. He felt his body flush as he rocked his hips back and moaned when the older man hummed in approval around him.

Naruto pulled away and hovered over his flushed lover, groaning as hips pushed back against his finger. He pushed another in and pressed against the bundle of nerves that made the body under him arch off the bed. "Minoru," he groaned and glowing eyes focused on him for a moment before the dark head trashed to the side in pleasure. "You like that don't you?"

Minoru felt his blush reach his ears at the sounds of the husky voice and couldn't suppress the shiver that coursed through him, "Y-yes" he managed to breath out, and looked up at the older man, his heart felt like it was going to stop when he saw the hungry, lust filled eyes.

Naruto grinned, and took the sobbing member into a loose grip, "You like it when I touch you, don't you?" His eyes roamed over the writhing body his grin widening when Minoru gasped out a "Yes", "I wonder... How many times you thought about this. Just how many times did you fantasize about me touching you..." Minoru gasped out a curse and he withdrew his hands, earning him a strangled sound. He slicked his own erection, his eyes locking with the half lidded pair.

Naruto pushed into the welcoming entrance, smoothing is hands over strong thighs and spreading them wider, groaning as the slender hips rocked against him. He leaned forward, bracing himself on a hand as he wrapped arm around his lover's waist and repositioned him, pulling him closer - angling his hips - Minoru cried out and hands gripped his shoulders. Legs wrapped around his waist as he thrust into deep into that tight heat that seemed to refuse to let him go. Not that he even wanted to. He would stay like this forever if given the chance. He was pulled down into a searing kiss that made his hips quicken.

They broke the kiss for air briefly before locking again. Naruto reached between and gave the sobbing much needed attention. He grinned when Minoru gasped and panted for air, their breaths mingling together.

"Naruto - I - I'm -," he trailed off with a loud moan as the rigid length keep thrusting against his prostate, "G-God- yes!"

Naruto groaned as the younger man arched under him, and the legs around his waist tightened - the heel digging into the small of his back - as he came, hard, into his hand, "Gods Minoru", the slender hips rocked with his and glowing eyes looked up at him as a hand came up to cup his jaw.

"Do you like being inside of me, Naruto?"

He grunted at the sound of the breathless sultry voice, his hips faltering as the heat around him intentionally clenched, "Yes" he moaned out. Lips sealed over his and their hips pressed flush as he came inside his lover. Their hips continued rolling together as they panted for air, and Naruto found himself being rolled over. His hands fell onto the slender hips that continued their rocking motion with him still inside, " Minoru."

Minoru gasped as he felt the member inside of him come back to life and felt it slide in even deeper, "Naruto". He looked down at the older man, at the blue eyes that looked back up at him. He couldn't help but smile as his hands smoothed over the firm chest, "I thought about this a lot," he whispered, and rolled his hips, "I thought about this so much," he moaned, the hands on his hips flexed, "No fantasy can ever compare," he rolled his hips again, "To how good you feel inside of me."

Naruto moaned when Minoru started to ride him. He raised his knees for leverage as he met the younger man's rhythm. His eyes roamed over the aroused body, watched entranced as Minoru leaned back using his knees as leverage and lifted his hips. Their rhythm turned heated and they were reduced to moans and vowels. Minoru cried out above when he took his ignored erection into his hand and began to pump him in time to their rhythm.

Minoru leaned forward, his hips bucking against the stimulation. He caught himself on his hands, his gaze locking with Naruto's, "I love you," he gasped out, "I love you - " his breath caught when a sharp thrust met his prostate, and his orgasm took him by surprise. A low moan erupted from his throat, his hips bucked as he spilled his hot seed on the older man's taut stomach. He panted for air he continued to roll his hips, "Naruto." He was pulled down flush onto the firm chest under him and sealed into a hungry kiss, an arm wrapped around his waist as hips slapped against his a few more times before they pressed flush against his. He felt the rigid length inside of him pulse as he came and shuddered pleasantly when he felt the older man's seed fill him.

They laid on the the bed, the room echoed their heavy breathing as they calmed their frantic hearts. Naruto nosed the younger man's forehead, and midnight blue eyes looked up at him with a smile, "I love you."

Minoru's smile widened and planted a kiss on the jaw in front of him, "I hope you don't need me to move anytime soon, because I can't."

Naruto chuckled, "I don't mind," he trailed his fingers over the curve of the younger man's spine, "We should probably shower soon though."

Minoru chuckled, "And get ready for tomorrow."

"We're so irresponsible aren't we..."

Minoru laughed and lips kissed his shoulder, "Soon." He managed to push himself up on his elbows and blue eyes looked up at him, "I wonder how much you thought about it..." He grinned with amusement at the brilliant blush that colored the older man's cheeks. He chuckled mischievously.

They reluctantly got out of bed, took showers that took a bit longer than they should have. After a quick dinner made by Minoru, they made their preparations for their mission for the next day. They made sure they had everything they needed and made note of what needed to be done in the morning before leaving. Naruto walked Minoru home and couldn't help lingering for a bit talking to Iruka.

With a good night kiss, Minoru and Naruto departed and got a good night's rest for their travel the next day.
