Chapter 4

"Hello?"
"Is this Uzumaki Naruto?"
"Yeah, how may I help you?"
"This is Hashiro Seki speaking." Naruto frowned. What does the elder want with me?
"I understand that that was Uchiha Sasuke on the line?"
Naruto nodded, but then realized the person didn't see it. "Yes, why?"

"We are under the impression that your relationship with the Uchiha goes beyond that of friendship." The old man spoke. "Are we right?"
"What makes you say that?" Naruto asked nervously. How do they know?
"Let's just say it's obvious," he said in a condescending tone. "But you do realize that their will be problems when you are together?"
Naruto frowned and bit his lip worriedly. "What kind of problems?"

"Well, for starters how will Uchiha revive his clan with a boy? It is his dream to revive it, isn't it?" the elderly said "And with you there, he won't be able to. The villagers want to see the life in the Uchiha compound again. So as long as you're in the picture he doesn't want to revive it."

At some point Naruto saw Sasuke walk in the room and beckoning for him that the bath was ready, Naruto gave him a hand gesture telling him he'd be done soon.
"If he doesn't want to then it's not my fault!" Naruto yelled against the telephone.
The man on the other line laughed humourlessly. "Off course it's not your fault. But you are the cause of it. Are you or are you not blocking Sasuke's chance of having children?"

"No," Naruto said and wanted to say more but the man interrupted.
"Off course you are," the old man insisted. "Do you want Sasuke to live with you and regret that he couldn't live out his dream, that he couldn't have children?"

"Off course not!"

"Well, then. Say goodbye to him. Be smart for once and let him go, he doesn't need a demon child. He had enough demons on his own."
"What did you say?" Naruto said in a low voice and lowered his head, so Sasuke couldn't see how his eyes were starting to get red.
He could hear the smirk in the man's voice. "I think you heard what I said." He spoke with disgust. "I don't need you the dirty the Uchiha anymore. God knows, what he did when he was with Orochimaru."
Naruto had enough of it.
Nobody talks to Sasuke and me that way! "
I don't give a fuck who you are but if you ever, and I mean ever, talk to me or about him that way, I'll personally make sure your death is as painful as it can get." Naruto said in a low voice. "Now goodbye."

Even though Naruto knew he shouldn't have provoked the man by cursing and yelling at him, he couldn't help it. His anger got the best of him, and he just hoped that that old man doesn't take it out on Sasuke tomorrow. Naruto walked as fast as he could with the phone call ringing in his head. He just had to get out of there. He had to think, without Sasuke being there.

Thinking of Sasuke made his chest hurt in a way he couldn't describe. Would he really regret it if we are together, Naruto thought miserably maybe he does want his clan revived. But then why would he come to me, if he knew that we couldn't have children? Was he planning on leaving me after a few years to have children? No! Sasuke isn't like that. He would've said so from the beginning. That's the way Sasuke is, he's straightforward and doesn't circle around things.

But Naruto still couldn't help but feel helpless. Damn that advisor for saying those things! But, Naruto thought, if he hadn't have said anything, would the questions still be there? In my subconsciousness? Would I have doubts if he's happy, every time we see a couple with a child? Naruto shook his head. Stop thinking about it!

Naruto looked around his surroundings and noticed that he was near the academy. That also meant he was near Iruka's house. He walked a little faster and soon arrived at his place. He knocked a few times, hoping that he was in.

A few minutes later the door opened and Naruto saw Kakashi stand in the doorway. "Naruto? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Sasuke right now?" Naruto ignored the question. "Is Iruka-sensei in?" he asked but at that moment Iruka came to the door.

"Naruto, what are you doing here? You should be-"

"Yeah I know, I should be with Sasuke, but I really need to talk." Kakashi raised his visible eyebrow. "Why not talk to Sasuke? Or is it about him?"
Naruto just nodded. Iruka gently pushed Kakashi out of the way to make room for Naruto. "Come in. I'm glad you're still confiding in me." Iruka said and let Naruto in. Naruto stepped inside and thanked him. "Nonsense, Naruto. You know you're welcome anytime you want."
"Anytime, Iruka?" Kakashi asked slyly. You could just hear the amusement and mischief in his voice. Iruka blushed prettily before giving him a look and ushered Naruto into the loving room.

"You want something to drink or eat?" Iruka asked him the moment he sat down. Naruto held his arms up defensively. "I'm fine, thanks." Iruka nodded and sat down. "Talk when you're ready."
Naruto nodded and smiled gratefully at him. He frowned a little and wondered where to start. "I don't know how to start." He told them after a while.
"Start from the beginning," Kakashi said. "What happened between you and Sasuke?"
Naruto sighed. "I don't know if it's really a fight or not, but…" he trailed of.
"But?" Iruka prodded.
"But we did yell at each other."
Kakashi snorted a laugh. "That didn't change between you two."
Naruto nodded but frowned. "Yeah but this was different."

"How so?"

"…" Naruto was silent for a while. "This time it wasn't because he had something stuck up in his ass" Naruto said. Iruka and Kakashi both looked surprised. "Then what was it about?" Kakashi inquired.

"I don't know if he'll be happy with me." Naruto said quietly. Iruka's eyebrows furrowed. "What do you mean? Why wouldn't he be happy with you?"
Naruto sighed. "One of his goals was to revive his clan…" he left the rest open, to let them figure it out for themselves.
"Naruto." Iruka said in a soft voice. "Do you really think that he'll be with you if he won't be happy?"
"But what about his clan?"
"Naruto, if he truly cares for you or even loves you, he won't let that get in the way." Iruka said wisely.

"But I don't want him to wake up one day and regret what we have because I can't have kids!" Naruto said with tears starting to form in his eyes. Iruka patted his head lovingly. "If he loves you, he won't regret it. Sasuke is the type of person to stand by his word. And if his word is that he'll stand by you no matter what, you're going to have to trust him."

Naruto nodded and thought back on this afternoon when they were in the lake. Sasuke told him he wouldn't leave him now that he finally had him, but what if that feeling fades? What if Sasuke realized he gave up in order to be with Naruto? Would he still feel the same way or would he leave him ultimately?

"You do trust him, don't you?" Kakashi's voice resounded in his head.

Naruto looked up at him and smiled sadly, "I trust him with my life."
"Then you have nothing to worry about." Iruka smiled at him gently. "Just talk to Sasuke about this, you'll see we were right and everything will be fine."
Naruto nodded and smiled at them both, a little happier, "Thanks, Iruka-sensei," he turned to Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei." Kakashi nodded in acknowledgement, and Iruka hugged him.

By the time Naruto left to go back to Sasuke, it was already dark. Maybe he's already asleep, or doesn't want to talk to me…

When he arrived at his door and quietly opened the door in case Sasuke was asleep. He heard the television on and walked to the living room only to find the Uchiha asleep. He smiled gently and kneeled beside him to brush a few loose strands of hair out of his face. This caused Sasuke to stir and Naruto was afraid he woke him up. "Naruto…" Sasuke mumbled. So much for not waking him. "I'm home." He whispered to him. Sasuke smiled although his eyes were still closed. "Welcome home." This made Naruto grin at him. "Don't you want to wake up and sleep in the bed?" Naruto asked him amusedly.

"Don't wanna, too tired," was his mumbled reply. Naruto laughed silently and walked to his bedroom to get a blanket. He came back a looked thoughtful at the couch. The couch is big enough for the both of us. And he laid himself gently partly on Sasuke and partly on the couch and covered them both with the blanket. When he snuggled into Sasuke's chest, the other teen mumbled, "Naruto?"

"Shh, just go back to sleep." Naruto reassured him. Sasuke nodded and put his arms around Naruto. Naruto chuckled a little. "I'm not going anywhere Sasuke. Don't worry." Sasuke smiled in his sleep and loosened his hold on the blond a little bit. Naruto kissed his cheek softly before laying his head on Sasuke's shoulder and eventually fell asleep.

--- Present ---

When Sasuke woke up the following morning, he was stiff and was lying on something hard with a heavy weight on top of him. Said weight shifted and Sasuke opened his eyes to meet clear blue ones.

Naruto smiled shyly at him, "Morning." Sasuke rubbed his eyes and mumbled a "Morning" back. Sasuke wondered why Naruto was acting so quiet and shy, but then last night's events caught up with him. Naruto was drawing circles on his chest, a pure sign that he had something on his mind and that he was embarrassed. "Sasuke?" he asked in a tiny voice. Sasuke looked up to see Naruto's troubled face. "I'm sorry about last night. I just needed some time to think and…" Sasuke raised his eyebrow to let him continue. "I want to talk to you about something. Or actually about us…" he trailed off.

Sasuke frowned. "What about us?" he asked fearfully, thinking Naruto was having second thoughts. Naruto, hearing his tone, smiled. He does care… "Nothing like that, Sasuke." Naruto reassured him. "I just wanted to know why you-" he cut off and thought about it. Sasuke patiently waited till Naruto had his thoughts sorted. He finally did speak a few seconds later. "What happened to your dream of reviving the clan?" Naruto blurted out.

Sasuke eyes widened. He didn't think he would ask something like that. "What do you exactly mean?" Sasuke asked wearily.
"I just meant that, when we were twelve you told us you wanted your clan revived, but you can't really do that…" Naruto looked down before looking up again "…if you're with me." He spoke quietly.

"I'm not stupid, you know." Sasuke smirking and Naruto furrowed his brows. "I know that a man can't have children, but I don't necessarily need to revive the clan. I'd rather be with you." Naruto got tears in his eyes when he finished. "Are you sure?" Naruto asked. "You won't regret it in the long run?"

Sasuke smiled gently and lightly hit him on the head. "Off course not, usuratonkachi." Naruto pouted at the name but then smiled and laid his head on Sasuke's chest again. "Is that why you ran off yesterday?" Sasuke questioned. Naruto didn't say anything but Sasuke knew that, that meant 'yes'. He brought his hand in Naruto's hair and began to massage his scalp. Naruto relaxed and let out sounds of pleasure. "So, who was that on the phone yesterday?" Sasuke asked casually while still massaging his head. Naruto stiffened a little but soon relaxed again. "It was the old man, one of the elders." Sasuke frowned "That was one of the elders?" Naruto nodded. "Why would one of the elders call you?" Sasuke asked, more to himself. Naruto shrugged. "I don't know. That was the first time they ever called me." Naruto thought back on that phone call. "It was about you, you know."

Sasuke raised his eyebrows. "They called you to talk about me?" Sasuke asked disbelievingly.

Naruto nodded again. "Yeah…"

"What did he talk about?" Sasuke asked, sounding interested. Naruto smiled wryly, his head still on Sasuke's chest with no intention of moving any time soon. "Well, not in so many words, but he said that it would be my fault if you don't want to revive the Uchiha clan. And…" Naruto questioned if he should say it, but one look at Sasuke gave him the answer. "…and that you would regret staying with me."

Sasuke sighed. "Naruto, sit up." Naruto frowned and looked up at Sasuke's face. "Come on. Sit up." Sasuke said again. Naruto looked at him oddly. What does this have to do with the elder? Naruto suddenly grew afraid. He's not breaking up with me, is he?

Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed as he saw the fear in Naruto's eyes. He took Naruto's head in his hands and looked deeply in his eyes. Naruto grew flushed and uncomfortable under his stare.

"Naruto," Sasuke said firmly, "I'm never, you hear me, never going to regret being with you. I care about you too much to let that happen." Naruto bit his lip and got tears in his eyes. He slowly nodded and hugged Sasuke. Sasuke held him close and nuzzled his face into Naruto's neck.

Naruto giggled when Sasuke gave light kisses to his neck. Sasuke pulled back when he heard the sounds. "Did you just giggle?" Sasuke asked with an amused smile adorning his handsome face. Naruto pouted and looked away, blushing slightly. "No, I did not." He denied. Sasuke chuckled and kissed his cheek to make him look at him again. Once Naruto did, he kissed him on the mouth and pulled back again. Naruto pouted again at the loss of contact.

"First I want to brush my teeth if you don't mind." Sasuke explained and Naruto nodded before moving from his lap and walked over to the kitchen.

Sasuke saw him moving toward the kitchen and raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you going to brush your teeth?" Naruto looked back and grinned. "I'm going to eat first." Sasuke nodded and started walking to the bathroom. When he got there a thought hit him as he saw only one brush. "Oi, Naruto!" Sasuke heard a grunt from the kitchen and proceeded. "Do you have any spare brushes?"

Naruto looked up as he poured water in the kettle and thought about it. "Maybe in the cabinet," he replied as he continued to put water in the kettle, he then put it on the stove and lit the fire. Minutes later Sasuke walked in with different clothes on. Naruto looked up from his breakfast ramen and looked at his clothes. "We really should go shopping today." Sasuke looked at him before eating his own cup ramen. Naruto made a face. "You just brushed your teeth and now you're eating that." He said while pointing at the ramen. Sasuke looked from Naruto to the ramen and back to Naruto, before shrugging. "So?" he asked indifferently "I've done that my whole life. Except for the ramen part." Naruto frowned. "Right," he said dryly. And he calls me the stupid one. "So you're going to brush your teeth again after you finished?" Sasuke didn't reply, just shrugged and slurped up his noodles. Naruto looked at him oddly, before throwing his empty cup away and made his way to his bathroom to brush his teeth.

Sasuke sighed as he threw away the remains of his ramen breakfast. Naruto's clothes really aren't comfortable! He scratched his back as it was itching the moment he put the garment on. The only nice clothes Naruto had were these. Nice was, off course, in Sasuke's eyes, dark clothes. And seeing as Naruto only had clothes with bright clothes he had to take these, cause Sasuke simply refused to wear those hideous clothes. No matter how good they looked on Naruto. No matter how much this damn shirt itches.

Naruto found him this way. Rotating to try and scratch a spot on his back. Naruto sniggered and walked over to him and held him still. Sasuke looked at him with a questioning gaze but Naruto simply turned around and scratched his back. Sasuke immediately arched his back and moved with Naruto's fingers. "Ah yes…there…aaah…" Naruto sniggered again. "You know, this itch probably won't go away." Sasuke groaned but didn't say anything else. After a few more scratches Naruto stopped and faced Sasuke. "Why did you stop?" Sasuke asked disappointed. Naruto grinned and kissed him. Sasuke didn't ask anymore, he just compiled and kissed back. But before they could really get into the kiss, someone knocked on the door. Naruto groaned before pulling back and stomped off to the door. What does it take to get a full blown kiss from him?

Naruto opened the door annoyed and scowled in the face of Sakura. She sweat dropped. "Am I interrupting something?"
Naruto grunted and walked back in. Sakura, taking this as her cue to walk in, stepped inside to find Sasuke in the living room folding a blanket and Naruto stomping off to his bedroom.
"I really did interrupt something, didn't I?" Sakura asked Sasuke as she closed the door. All she got was a noncommittal grunt. She rolled her eyes at that. Can't they for once give a normal answer?

"So what brings you here?" Sasuke asked as he laid the neatly folded blanket on the couch. Sakura sat down on the two-seater before replying, "Tsunade asked me to bring you two first thing in the morning." Sasuke stiffened as he heard the name Tsunade fall from her mouth and the itch on his back came back full force. "Why is that?" Sasuke asked with the same indifference, but inside he was sweating like crazy.

Sakura opened her mouth to answer but then Naruto came in and grabbed the folded blanket. "Probably for your talk with the elders." He replied casually as he walked to his bedroom to put the blanket away.
Sasuke looked at Sakura to see Naruto was right. "Yeah, that's basically why." Sasuke lifted his eyebrow in wonder. "Basically?"

Sakura held up her hands. "Nothing like that. She just wanted to prepare you before you go in." Sasuke nodded and fidgeted with his back. Sakura looked at him oddly. "Sasuke? Are you okay?" Sasuke nodded and tried to scratch his back again.

Naruto walked in to see him trying to scratch himself, again. He snickered. Sasuke gave him a dirty look for laughing at him but Naruto ignored it. Instead, he stood behind the couch where Sasuke sat and scratched his back for him, again. Sakura looked at them, smiling. They really are a special couple. One of a kind.

Sasuke stood up after Naruto was done and Sakura stood up also. "So,…" Sakura asked them as they walked towards the door. "Are you ready to face the Hokage and the elders?" they both shrugged but only Naruto answered. "I'm not the one who has to talk to them."

"Thank god." Naruto muttered under his breath.

When they arrived at the Hokage office Sakura had walked off to find Shizune and train with her till the Godaime had time for her. The Anbu at the entrance let them pass and as Naruto and Sasuke entered they saw Tsunade face down in her paperwork. Naruto sighed and Sasuke raised his eyebrows. This, is our Hokage! He asked himself. Sasuke saw Naruto waking her and as he did Sasuke stood up straight and looked out the window over the balcony. He saw Konoha villagers doing their business at the market and the shops.

"What do you want brat!" Sasuke heard the Hokage yell at Naruto. Naruto huffed. "You're the one who brought us here, you hag!" Sasuke winced as they reached a new decibel level with him in the room. He plugged his ears and as they made no move of quitting their little quarrel Sasuke had had enough. "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU TWO! YOU'RE MAKING ME DEAF!" The two just stared at Sasuke as if he was crazy and Sasuke stared angrily back. He panted a little because of the yelling but that didn't lessen the death glare he sent them.

Tsunade cleared her throat before rearranging her papers and folded her hands on her desk, trying to look professional. Trying is the keyword here. Sasuke just rolled his eyes and Naruto stood beside him to regard Tsunade wearily. "So why did you bring us here?" Tsunade ignored him and looked at Sasuke with her piercing hazel eyes. "Are you ready to face anything they ask to you?" Sasuke frowned, while Naruto huffed for being ignored.

"I may think so. I have nothing to hide."

Tsunade sighed and put her hand over her forehead. "They'll not only ask questions about your whereabouts for the past five years, but also personal questions and, off course, they want to know the main reason you came back."

Sasuke scowled. "I won't answer personal questions."

"You'll have to." Tsunade said firmly. Before Sasuke could retort Naruto spoke up. "Why would they ask him personal questions?"

"Because they have to know if he's trustworthy or not." Tsunade explained and turned to Sasuke. "They will have to know if you're not some spy for the Village of Sound." Sasuke opened his mouth but Tsunade held up her hand, effectively silencing him. "I know you're not a spy, but they'll have to find out themselves. Just answer their questions as good as possible and everything will work out fine." She smiled reassuringly at them but Sasuke could care less. His mind was working out all the possible questions they might have in store for him. He looked from the corner of his eye at the blond and knew for sure the elders would want to know about their relationship. Sasuke sighed, as if his life isn't complicated enough.

"-ill bring him there." He just caught that last part of what Naruto and Tsunade were discussing. He frowned at them, not knowing what they were talking about.

"I'll get the Anbu to escort you to the elders' chambers."

Sasuke resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Yippee, I get an escort." He said to her in a dry voice. She didn't say anything, just gave Naruto a look and closed the door to let the Anbu know. Sasuke thought she probably did it to let them have a minute alone, before his talk. Naruto sighed and looked down. "They'll probably talk about you and me, you know."

"I know." Sasuke confirmed. "I already figured that out."

Naruto looked up and bit his under lip. Sasuke took a step and came mere inches away from his face. Sasuke gently pulled his lip from his teeth and tipped his chin up to give his lips a short kiss. Naruto wouldn't have of it and put his arms around Sasuke's neck and pulled him in again. His tongue pried entrance and Sasuke wasted no time to let it in.

Finally! Naruto thought, as he finally got to kiss Sasuke with tongue and all. Too soon Sasuke pulled away. "Tsunade might walk in any second." Naruto wanted to reply but sure enough Tsunade came in to tell that the elders were waiting. Sasuke turned back to Naruto and smirked. Naruto rolled his eyes. He gave a quick kiss and gave him a hug while whispering something in his ear. Sasuke smirked as he pulled back, "I'm sure you will, usuratonkachi," and walked out of the office. "If you're done, Naruto will still be here." Tsunade said, as he passed her in the doorway. He nodded and let the Anbu escort him through the halls of the Hokage towers towards the elders' chambers.

- - - - - - - - -

Sasuke smirked as he sat in one of the couches in the elder chambers. He couldn't help but think about what Naruto had whispered to him.

If they do anything to you, I'll kill them!

He looked over the room and noticed that it was pretty empty. No unnecessary crap, just two couches opposite each other with a table between them. There was only one window looking over the Hokage Mountain, so the view wasn't all that thrilling. Sasuke heard the door open and his indifference came back on his face as he stared at the elders as they came shuffling in. There was an old woman and an old man wearing glasses. He glared at the man. That must be the fucker who talked to Naruto on the phone.

The man didn't seem effected by the glare Sasuke sent him his way, if anything it only made the man smile. Sasuke regarded him wearily before turning his attention to the female. She shuffled to sit opposite from him and the man sat next to her. She looked up and met Sasuke's stare evenly. "So you're Uchiha Sasuke, huh?"

- - - - - - - - -

When the door closed Tsunade turned her attention to the other shinobi. "So how are you and Sasuke doing?" she asked casually as she strolled to her seat. Naruto looked up from looking at the ground and looked at her confusedly. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Tsunade grinned and leaned forward on her desk, making her bosoms stand out even more. "I asked you how you and Sasuke were doing."
Naruto frowned. "I guess we're doing fine." Tsunade nodded. "I'll give you a warning ahead." Tsunade began and Naruto looked at her questionably. "Things won't be easy. Once the villagers know that Sasuke is back, they won't be pleased that you have a relationship with him."

Naruto sighed. "I already know that part. I also know the part where they'll want the Uchiha clan revived." Naruto said dejectedly.

Tsunade looked at him with a glint in her eyes. "About that,…" Tsunade began "…do you want to have children Naruto?"
Naruto looked at her. "That's not funny, you hag. You know we can't have children, we're both males." Tsunade just smiled at him wickedly and Naruto suddenly became a little scared.
