Notes: Finally to the interesting part! Wow...I'm hoping to make this one longer than the others, just cause it's that torture thing that I really like.

Also, I realized about the weapons and the name mixer-upper thing, sorry, I'm just a pain in the arse like that.
Does anybody even read these things? I could put a lemon up here and no one would ever notice, nope. /A gasp, light and sweet pierced the air and caught Sasuke as he looked down at the small piece of sun shine that he'd managed to find. His hands stilled from where they had been moving between Naruto's thighs.../ See what I mean?

/An eerie calm fell, before Iruka nodded, "If it's at all possible, I will take care of him." A frown came over his face, "What's his name?"
Naruto smiled, "Iruka, Uzumaki Iruka."/
~*~*~ Naruto's POV ~*~*~
I couldn't meet their eyes, I didn't deserve to look into their faces after telling them about my little one, my Iruka who I hoped was doing well with Oba-chan, hopefully staying out of trouble...I was such a terror at his age, I don't know how I was blessed with a little angel like him.
He takes after his father, he's stoic and quiet most of the time unless you really get him happy, then he glows like the mid day sun. Even with my own death all but certain, I can't help but hope that they don't know about Iruka, but always prepare for the worst, am I right? That's why I told Iruka-sensei about my child, I wouldn't have if I didn't know that they were going to try to take him and bring him here; I wanted Iruka to grow up happier than I did, I wanted him to feel loved.
Oh Gods, I sound like such a wimp, Sasuke would laugh at me and say something like, 'Hey Dobe, stop acting like a woman, last place.' Something that I'd get mad at and run at him and try to punch him...yeah, something like that. I hate being a grown-up, I miss having to worry about what ramen I was going to have next.
I hope that Sasuke and Iruka get to know each other, have some kind of bond...I feel so sad that I can't tell them, I'd disgrace both of them. I wanted...it didn't matter what I wanted anymore, I probably wouldn't even get to see him again.
I look up at my three companions, Kakashi whom for once isn't reading Icha Icha Paradise, Sakura-chan who grown into a beautiful woman, better than I could have ever hoped, and Iruka-sensei whose looking at me with such sad eyes. I always hated it whenever he would try to pity me and be too nice to me just because, now I feel ashamed that he did it, because I knew that I deserved to be looked down upon.
"I'm pretty sure that Sasuke told Hokage-sama, I just want to make sure he's well looked after." I sighed, feeling the bars imprint on my forehead.
Sakura-chan took a hesitant step forward; eyes fell on her, the two Jonin guards...I sighed. "Naruto...you're...you're a father?" Her voice held something in it that I winced from. Accusations always hurt, I've known that since I could remember, so I only looked away.
I heard her try to say something else, probably ask who the mother was...I briefly considered telling her the truth that /I/ was, but Sakura-chan for all of her rejections was hardly ever truly cruel to me, just mean sometimes.
I turned, one arm still hooked in the bars, "That's all I really wanted to say, I'm sorry that I made you all worry so much." It was cold, I hadn't tried to be cold, it came out sounding so much like a dismissal that I looked back and smiled, "If...if I get out of here...I'll treat you guys to some ramen." My smile wavered slightly, "As much ramen as any of us could ever eat."
Iruka nodded, the other two turned to leave. He waited until they were out the door before finally speaking, "I've missed you too," A sincere look, "And I will look after your son, should it become a possibility."
I smiled, genuinely. "Arigato, Iruka-sensei." And he turned and left too, leaving me to my thoughts and my dull company. I returned to sitting on the bedish slab, my arms wrapped around my knees and my face turned towards the fading light of the day. "I hope that it doesn't come up as a possibility..."
And I closed my eyes and tried to get some sleep for tomorrow, who knows what will happen then...
~*~*~ Some years prior ~*~*~
Quietly, he wrapped his arms around Sasuke's hard stomach and leaned his forehead against angular shoulder blades, the taller boy leaving him at a slight dissadvantage. Today was just another boring free day, no mission and supposedly no worries, so they had gone off to train near a stream. Naruto, for his part, tried hard not to get beaten into a pulp while Sasuke used him as an apponent.
Now though, it was too hot and they'd settled on playing in the water and enjoying themselves, which was the reason for the careful embrace. Sasuke placed his hands on Naruto's and a smile fell on his face, "You know that if any girls saw us that we'd be dead, right?"
Naruto tightened his hands, "I'd like to see them try, besides, you'd be safe while I was getting pummled." A half growl mockingly, "I would be currupting their beloved Sasuke-kun with me evil perverted Naruto ways."
Sasuke grinned un abashedly, "Then I'd be forced to protect you again." It was meant to sound flirty, and at the time it had been, with Naruto jumping up a bit and carefully biting Sasuke's ear before retreating quickly. Sasuke yelped as his tender spot was violated, smacking a hand over his ear and turning around, growling and hurrying off to exploit Naruto's tender spots...
~*~*~ End Memory ~*~*~
...I almost wish that you'd protect me now, Sasuke.
~*~*~ End Naruto POV ~*~*~
~*~*~ Trial room, Main Governmental Building, Konoha ~*~*~
Homura, Koharu and Hokage the third sat behind the trial plat forms, each looking at the young man whose head was bowed to them, his hands in front of him, bound and useless.
"You have been brought here, Uzumaki Naruto, to ask you exactly why you left. If your reasoning was sound and reasonable, we may consider revoking the death sentence that usually accompanies such a transgression that you have committed." The Hokage said, steepling his fingers and looking at the top of the bowed blond haired man. "The floor is yours."
Naruto looked up into his eyes for a moment before turning back to the floor; "I have no reason, Hokage-sama." He said, it didn't take a genius to hear the quiver in his voice. He was hiding something.
Hokage sighed, "We already know about this boy, your son." He sighed, Naruto looked up at him, startled but not really very surprised, he'd guessed that Sasuke had told the Hokage about Iruka, but he felt his last resolve leave him. "If it because you...had an affair with some girl, it would be best to say so now."
Naruto knew that that would be the best coarse of action, lie and say that it was some girl who passed away or something after Iruka was born...it would probably be wiser than telling them the truth, but when he looked up at the Hokage he knew that the Hokage would see through that in a heart beat.
He remained stubbornly quiet, tilting his face to look to one side.
Homura, one of Hokage's two advisors, leaned forward, "Who is the boys mother?"
Naruto frowned even more, and clenched his fists, feeling his nails bite into his skin, leaving half-crescent marks there, shaking his head.
He knew he couldn't lie to them, for one thing, Naruto was notoriously bad at lying about anything, let alone something important like this.
The woman, Koharu now asked, "If your afraid we'll do something to her, I assure you we'll leave the girl alone." Her kind old tone was nearly enough to infuriate him.
"There was no girl! All right?!?!" He yelled, before covering his mouth in horror. He didn't just shout that there wasn't a girl, had he? A quick glance up at the table was met with shocked expressions, which meant that his infamous short temper and fast mouth had gotten him into trouble once again.
"What do you mean there was no girl?" Came the cautious ventured voice of the male advisor, Homura.
He bit his lip, "No, it wasn't over a girl that I left, even though Iruka, my son, does have a great deal to do with this." He sighed; rubbing his fingers a little in nervousness. "Iruka...didn't have a mother, in the most common sought of sense of the word." He sighed again, now or never.
"I was Iruka's mother, if things become technical." He didn't dare lift his head to look at them, "I...was in a relationship with another man, and about five months into it, I started developing morning sickness. A month before I left, I /felt/ the babies chakra, and I put two and two together."
He smiled a little in bad humor before sighing, "When the man left on a few day mission, I left to try to spare him some of the.../difficulty/ of being a dad when you're sixteen." He frowned, "I ran to the village that Sasuke found me in, and had the baby there. I haven't disclosed any of the information on the village, most people just thought I came from a farm or something.
"I will not ask for forgiveness, my crime I wished dealt as if this wasn't the case. If you find it more appropriate to kill me, I only ask that Iruka-sensei looks after my child, should he be brought here." His tone was formal, too reserved to be what he truly felt.
The Third sighed, rubbing his eyes and frowning in annoyance. "Who was the boys father?" He asked, his tone tired from too much excitement, he was certain that now that the truth had been stated that all other information would be easily forth coming.
"I can't tell you."
All of them looked up at the tall standing middle teen looking man, his posture no longer looking to seem weak and small. It was surprising to see the amount of pride that flared through him, especially after the last few minutes.
"Why can't you tell us?" Koharu asked, the old woman's eyes crinkling at the sides.
"Because you do not need to know who Iruka's father is." The statement was said coldly, almost with a tone of malice underlying it. Hokage already had a very good idea as to who it was, but without Naruto's confirmation it was little more than speculation.
"Very well." With a flare of chakra a guard came in, taking hold of the unstruggling man out of the room. A second entered, "I wish you to go to the Limner Village, in the mist country and retrieve a little boy, about six, by the name of Iruka."
The woman nodded, before turning on her heal and leaving through the door. That left him, and his two advisors to discuss exactly how to handle the situation.
* * * * *
Well, the trials done, I thought that it was kinda odd, as I've never been to a trial and am not quite sure how the ninja's would adapt it. Anyway, the names of the people were actually his two advisors from the manga, I looked it up. The woman is related to the Hokage somehow, not sure how. Also, this whole story is ignoring the fact that the third Hokage died sealing Ochomaru from the Chuunin exam arch, so don't get mad at me.
...Should I kill off Naruto? I mean, really, or should I have him and Sasuke make up and have everything done with it?
Also, since I can't draw little kids at all, I'll be doing a conest for the best drawing of little Iruka, only guideline is is that he has to remotely look like my description, and can't be an adult.
The Prize? You tell me something you want in the story, lemon, fluff, violence and death, you name it, I'll write it and post it. As well as link to your art.
Since that's all,
Ja
