The Prince and the Slave
Sasuke is a prince who had always been against slavery but unfortunately he wasn't the crown prince, so in order to put an end to slavery he would have to start a fight against his own brother and change the law once and for all.
Emperor Fugaku stepped out on the balcony in the throne room that overlooked the capital city of the Spring Kingdom, Cydona. His eyes fell on the beautiful buildings of the capital city and the beautiful bridge Cydona, an architectural masterpiece built almost a hundred years ago by master Sarutobi Hiruzen from the Sarutobi clan. In the distance were the Spring Peak Mountains where River Cydona was born and to the side was the endless Golden Sea glittering in the sun with Peak Island standing tall close to the shore.
"Call Sasuke." He ordered the slave who was cleaning the table in the throne room after the emperor's tea.
"Yes, master." The slave boy known as Haku left the room in a hurry with the tray and empty cups.
When Sasuke entered the room he joined his father on the balcony, his gaze moving automatically in the same direction as his father's. "You called me, father." His voice was too cold and monotone for a twelve year old.
"Tell me Sasuke what do you see?" the emperor asked making the young boy slightly confused.
"I see your kingdom, father and Cydona."
"All this will be your brother's to rule one day and when that day comes he will need you by his side to help and support him but in order to prepare you for that day you need to learn responsibility." Fugaku turned to his son and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Sasuke, you are now old enough to have your own slave."
The boy's gaze moved to the side as if ashamed but that was not the case. He had never liked the idea of slavery but would never voice such thoughts in front of his father. He had talked to his teacher, Iruka about it since he knew the man felt the same way and the young man did his best you explain the prince the advantages of slavery as they were seen by most people but that never changed the way the boy felt.
"Haku is more than enough for me, father." He said on a stern voice still not meeting his father's gaze.
"Haku is not you slave, he is mine. You are not his key keeper and that is the responsibility you need to learn at this age, the responsibility for a human's life. The slave's life is in your hands and you need to make them aware of that but you also need to take care of them so that they will serve you for a long time."
Sasuke was well aware that although his father was encouraging slavery he was a relatively kind master. The slaves that worked in the place were well taken care of, dressed, fed and had good conditions to sleep in as long as they did their job. His father however could also be very harsh to any slave who disobeyed him.
Other masters however were not so kind and treated slaves as mere objects that could be replaced any time.
Later that day Sasuke's teachers Iruka and Kakashi were ordered to take Sasuke to the docks where a ship filled with new slaves came from the across the Golden Sea.
"You need to look at them carefully and pick a healthy one." Kakashi instructed him. "What the trader will promote is not necessarily the best merchandise."
Kakashi's wise advice did not reach Sasuke's ear though because his gaze had fallen on a blonde boy about his age, maybe a bit younger with beautiful blue eyes. The boy dressed in rags was rather dirty after the long trip and looked thin and tired since he had not been fed well during the journey.
"I made my choice. I want the blonde boy over there." Sasuke told the merchant and the man hurried to serve his customer.
"A wise choice, my lord." The merchant dragged the blonde forth and unlocked the collar around his neck allowing Sasuke to put one with the Uchiha crest instead.
"Pay him Iruka." Sasuke ordered then waited patiently for Iruka to finish the transaction.
Sasuke was waiting for Haku to return. As soon as they returned to the palace with his new slave Sasuke instructed Haku to give the blonde a bath and new clothes before he brought him in Sasuke's room. When the silence was broken by a knock on the door Sasuke turned his attention to the door.
"Come in." The blonde entered the room followed by Haku who carried a tray with food and water. "You may leave us, Haku." The older boy set the tray on the table and after he bowed in front of the prince left the room in a hurry.
Sasuke moved closer to the blonde who looked rather lost without instructions and looked at him closely. Now that he was clean, Sasuke could distinguish three thin scars on each of his cheeks but he still found the boy very good looking.
"Are you hungry?" the boy nodded. "You may eat then." Sasuke motioned to the table where the tray had been placed. The blonde did as he was told and Sasuke watched him breath in the food until there was nothing left rather amused.
"Do you have a name?" Most slaves didn't have one and their masters had to give them one. Itachi had been the one to name Haku when he was brought from the Valley of Ice up north in the Winter Kingdom.
"Naruto." Sasuke nodded in acknowledgement.
"How old are you?"
"Twelve."
"Then you are as old as I am although I'm a bit taller. Did you have a master before?"
"Yes, Asashi sama had been my master for four years. He was a go teacher at the palace in the Golden Kingdom but he passed away and I was brought here."
"Did he teach you how to play?" Naruto nodded.
"He taught me many things."
"What did he teach you?"
"He taught me how to read, write and speak three languages and about arts. He loved arts especially painting and poetry."
"Very well, I shall test your skills at go then." Sasuke was skilled at the game since he played for years with his friend Shikamaru Nara, son of general Shikaku who was a strategy genius. His achievements in the war against the neighbor Autumn Kingdom made him leader of the Shadow Army, an army of a thousand warriors chosen from the elite. Shikamaru himself was considered a genius who followed his father's footsteps and would one day serve under the crown prince Itachi.
After over a half an hour of playing Sasuke clenched his teeth. He was losing. The feeling of defeat was nothing new to him since he experienced it with Shikamaru all the time, not even once had he been able to win a game against his friend but he liked to believe that by playing with Shikamaru he had polished his skills enough to be more than a mediocre player and yet here he was losing to his new slave.
"I resign." He said as his hands fell on his lap.
"I apologize, master." Naruto said in a hurry, seeing the frustration on his master's expression. "My previous master however always said that it is disrespectful to not play at full potential."
"Your previous master was right, Naruto. I'm not angry with you, just surprised. Tell me would you like to learn?"
Naruto looked at him with wide eyes. He had never dared to believe that after Asashi's death he will find a master who will teach him things. Knowledge was the only weapon a slave could have in life since slaves were not allowed to carry weapons and Naruto was ready to learn anything he could.
Two years had passed and at Sasuke's request Kakashi taught Naruto the arts of fighting which Naruto seemed to be a natural for. Kakashi was from the Uchiha clan from his mother's side but he had chosen his father's name when he chose to take the path of the warrior like his father before him. He was one of the best with great achievements at the battle of Hebi Path at the border with the Autumn Kingdom. These were the reasons why the emperor had chosen him to be his sons' teacher. Iruka also agreed to teach Naruto along with Sasuke and the blonde sipped all wisdom that the young teacher had to offer. Of course this had to be done in secret since many lives were in danger if Naruto was found wielding a sword.
One evening Naruto came in Sasuke's chamber bringing his usual evening tea.
"I brought your tea master." He poured tea in a cup and turned to leave when Sasuke stopped him.
"Why don't you join me?" Sasuke took the cup that Naruto had prepared and gave it to Naruto. "I think you will like it."
"I don't think I should, master."
Sasuke smiled at him. "I think you've done worse things than this." Naruto's gaze turned away in shame. "Please." Sasuke insisted but Naruto wouldn't budge.
Setting the cup back on the table Sasuke took the key that he always held on a silver necklace around his neck and took off Naruto's collar. The blonde looked at him in shock but did not dare say a word.
"I don't see any other reason for you to refuse now." Sasuke said as he tossed the collar on his bed and put the key around his neck again.
"Why?" Naruto asked with a shy voice.
"I do not wish for you to be my slave, Naruto but I can't let you go for your own safety and for more selfish reasons."
"Master has never been selfish." Naruto retorted.
"There are things I never told you but I think it's time and it's also time for you to make an important decision. I took your collar off because I don't want you to think that you are pressured just because you are my slave."
"Master…"
"I knew there was something about you the first time I saw you at the docks but over the years that feeling had become stronger." Sasuke closed the distance between them and lifting Naruto's chin so that their eyes would meet he kissed the blonde gently on the lips. "I fell in love with you, Naruto and I want you to be my lover."
Naruto felt his heart beating faster in his chest. He had been in love with Sasuke for some time but as a slave could not speak of such things. A slave falling in love with his master was unheard of and condemned if it ever happened but Sasuke was no ordinary master and Naruto had found it hard not to fall for him.
"I would love that more than anything." He said with teary eyes. Sasuke offered him the cup of tea again and this time he didn't refuse.
"From now on you can sleep in my room whenever you want and on those nights I will take your collar off so we can be equals. You can also call me Sasuke instead of master or Sasuke-sama." Naruto nodded and blushed then took a sip of the warm tea.
"Do you like it?"
"It's good…bitter at first but after a few sips it becomes sweet."
"It's white tea of highest quality from the Valley of the Wind in south. Haku makes it perfect so that it's not too strong but not without flavor." It had always been Haku who made Sasuke's tea even after Naruto came to the palace but although Naruto had tried to learn how to make the tea the way his master liked it he never got it right. Now he was determined to learn more than ever.
In the end Naruto finished the tea that he had brought for Sasuke but Sasuke didn't mind. Instead the prince took Naruto to his bed and kissed him again. Naruto kissed back this time with confidence and passion. He was finally free to express his feelings for his master and had every intension to do so. Taking Naruto's kimono off, Sasuke kissed his neck making the blonde moan in pleasure then moved to his chest leaving a trail of kisses and sucking the pink nipples. That was enough to make Naruto hard and Sasuke smirked pleased. His tongue licked Naruto's length a few times then set on the head licking around and making Naruto pant then taking it all in his mouth Sasuke began to suck, bobbing his head as his tongue stimulated the hard member.
"Master!" Naruto moaned as panic took over him. He was the slave and he should be the one pleasing his master with his mouth not the other way around. Sasuke's mouth felt heavenly around him though and he didn't want it to stop.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me master when you don't have your collar?"
"Sorry." Naruto apologized in a hurry afraid not to upset Sasuke but the prince's voice held no malice. It never had at least not towards Naruto. "But shouldn't I be pleasing you?"
"You are not my slave now Naruto so there is nothing you should be doing." Sasuke stood up from the bed and took his robe off. "But I would like to feel you inside me if you will."
Naruto had never done that before but he had seen his previous master being pleased by slaves before and he knew that this was not the way it was done. Sometimes the slaves felt no pleasure at all but were forced to use their bodies to please their masters. Sometimes they were fucked until they passed out covered in cum and blood and then abandoned for a new slave.
Sasuke laid on his back and spread his legs for Naruto who pushed his still hard member in Sasuke's hole. The expression on Sasuke's face showed that he was in pain and Naruto became concerned. Sasuke gritted his teeth as Naruto pushed a bit more until he was half way in before waiting a while then going all the way in. Moving his hips he caused more pain and Sasuke gaged himself with the sheets to muffle the sounds that he couldn't control anymore. Naruto didn't stop though. Sasuke asked for it and he wanted it too. The tight space made his member throb as he got closer to climax. His hand reached for Sasuke's member and he began to pleasure him until he felt Sasuke less tensed. When Sasuke's muscles relaxed and his breathing became heavy Naruto knew that he was alright.
"Harder!" Sasuke pleaded moving his hips to get more pleasure and Naruto obediently complied. When he touched a certain spot inside Sasuke the prince cried in pleasure and Naruto made sure to hit the same spot again and again, ramming into it until he spilled his seed inside Sasuke. Sasuke came at the same time all over his hand.
"Now you need to take me in and we will finally belong to one another." Sasuke told him and Naruto straddled him pushing himself onto Sasuke's cum covered member. Their hips began to move once again and Naruto cried in pain but didn't stop moving. He was getting hard again after coming only minutes ago inside Sasuke. Closing his eyes he tried to get over the pain of being torn apart by Sasuke's member but after some time the pain ceased and the pleasure that took its place was overwhelming. He could finally feel Sasuke's throbbing member sliding inside him and hitting a spot that made him see stars. His muscles relaxed and his breathing became hard then Sasuke's hips moved faster and so did the pale hand around his member and he couldn't help but cry and moan with every thrust.
Sasuke and Naruto were at their secret training spot in the Forest of Shadows. The forest was the emperor's hunting property and no one was allowed to go there unless they were invited by the emperor but since it wasn't the hunting season no one went there. That was the reason why Kakashi had chosen a clearing in the forest for their training ground.
Naruto and Sasuke went often there to spar even without Kakashi and today was one of those days. The clash of metal against metal could be heard throughout the clearing as the boys launched attacks at one another with what anyone would mistake for intention to kill. That was not the case though. They were both strong and they knew each other's limits so they fought in a way that would help the other improve.
"Shall we take a break?" Sasuke asked.
"If master needs a break…" Naruto gave a cocky retort.
"Are you insinuating something?" The prince raised an eyebrow.
"I would never disrespect you in such a way, master." Still Naruto put his sword away and followed Sasuke to the edge of the clearing. Now that they stopped sparring he felt like he could use a drink of fresh cold water.
They were alone and there was no need for him to call Sasuke master but he always did when he had his collar on out of habit. Sasuke stopped insisting some time ago figuring that is was probably safer that way.
"Come here." Sasuke pulled him closer and kissed him passionately to which Naruto answered gladly.
"Aren't you nervous about your engagement with lady Sakura?" Naruto asked.
The engagement was arranged a few months ago and would take place the next day at the palace where all the important people were invited. It was not going to be as big as Itachi's was two years ago when he was engaged with princess Conan of the Autumn Kingdom but it would still be an important event.
"Not really." Sasuke shrugged. "It doesn't mean much to me."
"Why? It's going to be the first step in adulthood and it will decide your future wife."
Sasuke laughed hard and Naruto looked at him confused. "You sound like my father but my first step in adulthood was when you fucked me the first time." The prince stated bluntly and Naruto blushed and turned his head in shame. "I think you don't understand politics very well. Father is trying to establish some connections with both Itachi's and my marriage. Itachi's engagement ended up with a peace treaty with the Autumn Kingdom. It was necessary to do this because our country's army was weakened after the war with the Autumn Kingdom a few years ago while they had stronger allies and thus were less effected. My marriage to Sakura is going to bring the Uciha and Senju clans together for the first time since Uciha Madara assassinated emperor Senju Tobirama and took his place on the throne. The two clans never really got along and the Senjus have quite an influence in politics. They are also known to be against slavery."
"They are?" Naruto asked surprised. He had never expected anyone to be openly against slavery. Someone who dared voice such ideology had to have some power.
"Yes. They don't own any slaves only servants although they don't really act in order to stop slavery. They know how many enemies they would make if they did so."
"What are servants?"
"Servants are doing chores that slaves normally do but they are treated better and are paid. Also servants are not owned so they are free people."
"I've never heard of something like that."
"There are some countries which don't have slavery anymore and adopted this system instead but they are far away and hardly influence our area."
"Then I suppose you are lucky to have something in common with lady Sakura."
"I suppose…but I wish I was free to choose. Not being a slave however does not make you free."
"It has its perks though." Naruto voiced his mind like he always did around Sasuke. It was in his character and it was hard for him to refrain from it so he was glad that he didn't risk his head around Sasuke. Sasuke liked that about him.
"It does but I feel this society is so degraded that it's like a leash for me. If I had been the crown prince I would have had the chance to change something but I will only be Itachi's shadow."
"Wouldn't Itachi do anything about slavery?"
Sasuke shook his head. "Haven't you seen him around his slaves? He is a slave driver."
Naruto blushed when he realized what Sasuke meant. "Maybe he will take it easy on Gaara after the wedding."
"I doubt it. He doesn't love Conan that much and Gaara is the perfect sex toy according to him."
