"I still don't understand how Senjus can live without slaves." Prime minister Danzo shook his head in disagreement at the site of Ino Yamanaka, the maid who accompanied the Senjus.
"Servants do the job just as well." Lady Tsunade Senju retorted not bothering to hide how displeased she was to be in the company of people who didn't understand her ideology.
"Yes but they cost too much because you have to pay them weekly. For a slave you pay once and then you do as you please."
"Servants are treated like human beings unlike slaves. All people deserve that much." The poet Senju Jiraya came in his wife's aid.
The minister of war, Maito Gai, rose his glass. "I believe that slaves are pillars of our society equal to our country's brilliant minds like Senju Jiraya-sama and Nara Shikaku-sama. Some do the work and others do the thinking so that our country can prosper."
"Well said Gai-dono." Minister of economy Homura raised his glass too and they both toasted as if trying to spite the Senjus.
Naruto watched from his place near the wall between Haku and Itachi's slave Deidara as Sasuke looked displeased at the two ministers but did his best to stay quiet.
"I heard that your servants are allowed to refuse certain tasks." Lady Koharu, minister Danzo's wife and minister Homura's sister said. She was a woman with strong, calculated personality and sharp tongue just like her husband and unlike her brother. Debates like these were her specialty and entertainment.
"They are paid so why would they refuse?" Jiraya asked confused.
"Do they pleasure you?" Danzo intervened. He knew what she was referring to but was also aware that she felt uncomfortable to speak about such things since she was completely against sexual relationships between masters and slaves.
"Of course not. That's what the brothels in the Red District are for." Jiraya said exasperated.
"But you can get that much in the comfort of your home instead of a brothel where all commoners go." Danzo emphasized the word 'commoners' with disgust.
"You speak as if that is a bad thing."
"What do you think admiral Sarutobi Asuma-dono? Generals, could we also hear your opinions?" Koharu asked, dragging more people in the conversation hoping that they will sustain her opinion.
Sasuke could hardly wait for the subject to be dropped but it seemed that the ministers were set to contradict the Senjus all day.
Sakura stood up from her seat and bowed in front of everyone. "If Sasuke-sama and I may be excused we would like to take a stroll in the garden."
Several eyes fell on her and the emperor nodded. "Of course you may leave. It is your engagement ceremony and you do need to get to know each other better."
"If I may too, father." Itachi stood up and the emperor nodded.
Sasuke appreciated the opportunity to leave the table. The discussion was infuriating and he felt his blood boil in his veins as he tried hard to keep his tongue in place. The three left the room followed by Naruto and Deidara who were supposed to be by their masters' side at all times.
"You don't seem to enjoy yourself too much, little brother." Itachi pointed out rather amused. He was well aware what had caused Sasuke's discomfort but liked to tease him.
"Those discussions about slaves are not a pleasure to hear." Sakura said.
"They do have a point though. Why go to a brothel when you can fuck a slave in your own home?"
"Itachi!" Sasuke warned his brother. "You should not use such language in front of a lady." Sakura blushed and Itachi brushed him off.
"Why not call things what they are? It's normal to feel the need to release your hormones so what's wrong with using a slave for it?" Turning to Deidara Itachi continued. "Besides Gaara gives the best blowjobs. Am I not right, Dei?"
"Yes, master." Deidara bowed.
"I wonder how princess Conan feels about you doing that with Gaara." Sasuke interfered.
"She doesn't care….I think." From the answer it was obvious that he was the one who couldn't care less about his future wife's feelings but Sasuke didn't press on the mater. "You wouldn't mind if Sasuke fucked a slave, would you lady Sakura?"
"I most definitely would. I was raised to believe that the husband and wife should only engage in such activities with one another. I'm a virgin and I shall be until after my wedding with Sasuke and I hope that Sasuke can also keep himself for me." 'Too late.' Sasuke thought 'my heart belongs to someone else already and since I can't marry him….'
"But then we wouldn't need brothels and whores." Exasperation was obvious in Itachi's voice as he imagined such a world. "But you don't need to worry" he smiled "I'm sure that my brother can take care of his needs for two more years since he shares your ideas about slavery."
"I believe in marriages based on love and commitment." Sakura stated proud.
"And you believe that such things exist in high society? Everything is about power and interest." Sasuke spoke.
Sakura shook her head. "I do believe. After all I have been in love with you for a long time and now our destiny has brought us together in a holly ceremony of engagement." 'If you refer to marriage based on one sided love…you will have that' Sasuke thought.
Two pale fingers traced Naruto's spine from the nape of his neck downward making the blonde raise his head from where it rest on top of his folded hands that were on the bed's wooden frame and arching his back. The other pale hand was pleasuring his hard member in rhythm with Sasuke's thrusts.
The blonde moaned and spilled his seed all over Sasuke's hand.
"You like that, don't you?" Sasuke smirked and another moan was the only answer he received. His fingers grabbed Naruto's neck, pulling his chin upwards and keeping a firm grip he moved faster, ramming the blonde's prostate until he spilled his seed inside the blonde.
"Don't stop, please." Naruto begged, pushing his hips backwards until he met Sasuke's with a wet sound. Cum was leaking from his hole and dripping on the sheets below.
"Aren't you needy today?" Sasuke asked amused. "Did all that talk about sex turn you on?" The pale hips started to move again faster.
"It's not that. I was just wondering…"
"About what?"
"What's going to happen now?" Sasuke pulled out from Naruto, his still hard member covered in cum.
"What do you mean?"
Naruto looked away feeling ashamed but also worried. "I couldn't help but notice that lady Sakura is really beautiful."
Sasuke gave him a confused look. "Have you fallen for her?" Naruto's expression changed to panic.
"What? No…my heart only beats for you."
"Then why are you worried?"
"Don't you think she's beautiful, smart and with a pure heart? Wouldn't you fall in love with her?" Grabbing Naruto's shoulder Sasuke pushed him on his back but his head was over the bed's edge. Moving on top of the blonde he sucked the tanned neck, making sure to leave marks only where they would be hidden by clothes and once satisfied he licked and sucked the nipples knowing how much Naruto loved that.
"Look at me." Naruto raised his head to do so and watched Sasuke suck his nipples for a while before the prince pulled back, a trail of spit still connecting the nipple with his wet tongue. Blue eyes met onyx and Naruto saw in them something that he had never seen before in Sasuke, disappointment. He was the reason why his master was disappointed and he felt ashamed for that, almost regretting that he had opened his mouth to speak about Sakura. "Fuck me." Sasuke said with a stern voice, his onyx eyes piercing the blue ones.
The prince moved to lay on his back and spread his legs for the blonde while Naruto stood there dumbfounded.
"I want your dick inside me. Fuck me, Naruto. Now." The blonde was too afraid to not oblige. His master had never spoken like that. That was the kind of vulgar language that Itachi used all the time but not Sasuke. Sure, Sasuke also used the word 'fuck' but he never asked for things like that.
Pushing inside his master's entrance he moved his hips fast enough to not hurt Sasuke. He couldn't look Sasuke in the eyes because of shame but for some reason he couldn't break eye contact either.
"Fuck me harder. Spread my insides, tare me apart, Naruto. I want you to come inside of me again and again."
As hypnotized Naruto moved faster, his fingers digging in his master's thighs. Sasuke clenched his teeth in pain.
"Fuck me, Naruto. Fuck me." Naruto rammed harder although he could see that Sasuke was in pain. "Fuck me." For a while the only sound in the room was the screeching of the bed. "What do you think you're doing, Naruto?"
As if woken from trance Naruto looked around him, taking his time to absorb the information. He was on top of his master, looking at the prince from above as he fucked the daylight out of him. "A slave fucking his master is unheard of but a slave fucking a prince is blasphemy, father would have your head off on the spot. Why do you think you can get away with it? Why do you think you got away with it for this long?"
"Because… you love me." Naruto pulled out and realized that he was covered in cum and blood. He had hurt his master but above all, his lover and in more ways than one.
Sasuke cupped his cheeks and kissed him gently, all traces of his previous feelings long gone. "Do you believe me now? I love you and only you." Tears fell over the scarred cheeks. "Sakura may rival the beauty of spring itself with its cherry blossoms but you are far more beautiful than she is." Naruto couldn't help but feel touched although he had been referred to as a woman instead of a man.
"I'm sorry…" he cried "I didn't mean to hurt you but you kept on telling me to fuck you and I…"
Sasuke smirked "Were you aroused when I told you to fuck me?" he asked on a seductive tone making Naruto blush and look away. "I realized that you lost it for a moment. You liked it, didn't you?" Naruto nodded. "I want to hear you say it." The prince teased.
"I was turned on when you told me to fuck you." Naruto confessed and Sasuke pulled him in a kiss.
"Itachi does too. He makes Gaara beg for more all the time."
"Is that where you got that stupid idea from?" Naruto asked concerned "I hurt you because of that, don't do that again."
"I wanted to prove a point, Naruto. I was sad that you didn't believe that I love you."
"I love you too."
"I know."
"Does your slave follow you everywhere?" Sakura asked throwing a quick glance behind her and Sasuke to see that Naruto was following them through the gardens.
After the engagement Sakura had moved to the palace with a servant, Ino but life at the imperial court was so different from the one at her home that he hadn't adjusted yet. The presence of slaves everywhere doing different jobs or waiting to attend to their master's needs at any moment was a foreign thing for her. They were like living tools with no right to speak or act unless ordered to do so, all of them branded with collars with the Uchiha crest on it.
"He does."
"I heard that some masters prefer to have their personal slaves sleeping in their room. Is that a custom here at the palace too?"
"That depends. Mother and father do not sleep with slaves in their chamber. Itachi and I got our first slaves when we were twelve but Deidara never slept in my brother's room. When he turned fourteen and got engaged to princess Conan he got Gaara as a gift and ever since then Gaara never left his bed. Not that sharing a bed is mandatory, many slaves have their own bed in the master's chamber but Itachi prefers it that way."
"What about you?"
"Naruto has his own bed in Haku's room." Sasuke stated vaguely. It wasn't a lie but he wasn't about to tell her that he and Naruto share his bed.
"I admit that I feel relieved about that." She gave him a bright smile that he returned with a perfect mask. "What do you think would be needed to change this society?"
"I don't honestly know, a civil war maybe."
"That would lead to more violence and you can't fix violence with violence."
"Maybe but what else is there? Where did nonviolence take the Senjus? No offence but Senju Tobirama was killed by Uciha Madara because he spoke like you and even now the Senjus are ridiculed for their believes. I don't agree with slavery but openly speaking my heart wouldn't help anyone and freeing Naruto to prove my point would just make him someone else's slave. I believe justice must be brought by forcing people to act differently, forbid them to own slaves or suffer terrible consequences."
"I'm sorry that I can't adopt your believes my lord."
"Maybe you will understand my point after my brother's wedding."
"Why is that?"
"My brother likes to party and he will have a party tonight before the wedding preparations begin. You will understand after you attend that party."
"But I was not invited."
"Neither was I but we can watch from the outside."
After dark Sasuke took Sakura and Naruto to the dungeons. The place was lit with candles and torches and incense were burned as six slaves were brought in chains and tied to the walls. The guests entered one by one and Itachi was the last before Gaara who closed the doors.
Drinks were poured and music was played but the three couldn't hear anything from their hiding place outside. They watched through the window as the guests raised their glasses to toast and drink then forced the slaves to pleasure each other.
Itachi's best friend Kisame began to stroke his erection as he watched a female slave being fucked by three male slaves at the same time. Then he made one of the female slaves pleasure him and was soon followed by Karin who made the other female slave lick her clit and finger her until she became wet.
Itachi watched from the side with Gaara kneeled down between his legs with the prince's erection in his mouth. The price gave an order and Gaara began to finger himself, getting ready for his master to enter him.
Soon all the guests had a slave pleasure them and Sakura thought that she had seen it all when Itachi raised a whip and whipped the back of the slave who was sucking Kisame. Grabbing the slave's hair, Kisame rammed his erection down her throat making her gag. She was in pain and out of breath but the two went on until Kisame climaxed in her mouth. Pulling out he wrapped his hands around her neck taking her breath and leaving marks and she was left with her mouth open unable to swallow or spit the cum. It dripped from her lips as Itachi whipped her more.
"I can't watch anymore." Sakura covered her face. "I need to get out of here."
"Do you still believe war is not the way?" Sasuke asked.
"Please don't make me answer that now." She ran as fast as she could towards the palace and locked herself in her room.
Sasuke and Naruto were left alone and they too began walking towards the gardens. Naruto was deep in thoughts. He had been aware that was the life for many slaves but he almost forgot since he became Sasuke's slave.
"Are you alright?" Sasuke asked him after they got far enough from the dungeons.
"What's going to happen to them? Will they be killed?"
"Who knows?"
"What about Gaara?"
"Don't worry Gaara is safe. Itachi wouldn't hurt him like that. Those are slaves that were bought from the market this morning and they will probably get back there as damaged goods."
"I could have been one of them…"
"No one will touch you but me, you are mine." Naruto gave a small smile but didn't feel better or encouraged.
Emperor Fugaku had been away on a trip to a distance province where his presence had been requested for an urgent matter for a month when empress Mikoto received word that her husband had died of a heart failure on the way back to Cydona. The newly wed Itachi had to be crowned as fast as possible and take his duties as emperor of the Spring Kingdom.
"Little brother, have you ever wondered why the leader of the Spring Kingdom is an emperor and not a king?" Itachi asked Sasuke one day.
"It is all in the history books. The Senjus were leading an empire but once the Ucihas came they lost territories until the Spring Kingdome was left."
"Yes but I will restore the empire to its former glory. Father had no ambition to do so, he was pleased with governing this land and protecting it but he never desired more. I on the other hand will be worthy of the title emperor."
"Won't you just ruin everything with your ambition?" Sasuke asked skeptically and Itachi laughed.
"Ruin it? I'll make it all better."
After that day the war campaigns started. Word was sent to all allies to send troops to Spring Kingdom's aid and general Nara and admiral Sarutobi were sent to attack the Mountain Kingdom since it was an easy target once their port cities were occupied next was the Country of Rivers before the troops were allowed to return.
"What is the emperor thinking?" Senju Tsunade asked Sasuke when he and Sakura went to visit. "The armies have brought war prisoners…more slaves. Do we really need more? When will they be enough?"
"If you want to stop slavery you need to act lady Tsunade." Sasuke said calmly as he sipped his tea. "This is a good opportunity too; the country is at war with other countries and won't be able to stop a civil war inside."
"I heard a rumor around the capital that two masked ninjas were killing slave traders at the slave market and at the docks, freeing the slaves."
"Is that so?" Sasuke asked intrigued. "Does the emperor know?"
"Maybe or maybe he's too busy with the campaigns to even notice rumors." The lady retorted as if she couldn't care less what the emperor knew.
"I suppose that if merchants die and slaves flee it is more than just a rumor." Sasuke said with a perfect poker face but the lady was sharp.
"Do you know something?"
"Maybe and maybe not it depends on who's asking."
"If the slaves are organized and willing to fight then the civil war you speak of is possible. What they need are weapons, supplies and some training. The Senjus can offer that much."
"Is that an offer my lady?"
"Yes."
"I will try to contact the ninjas and inform them of your offer."
Standing up from his seat on the couch Sasuke turned to leave with Sakura, Ino and Naruto in tow.
"Do you know the ninjas?" Sakura asked on their way back to the palace.
"I don't know them but I do know how to contact them."
"Do you really think they can make a difference? They are just two no names."
"Actually they go by the names of Fox and Hound and they will have to be enough."
Naruto's tanned hand wandered over Sasuke's pale chest. "What's on your mind? You seem troubled."
"I'm not. I'm actually excited for once. It's as if the sun is rising again."
Naruto laughed. "The sun is rising every morning."
"That's not what I meant. The first time the sun shined for me was when I met you and the second time when you accepted to be mine, not as a slave but as a lover." A pale hand cupped a tanned cheek and the prince kissed the slave.
"Have you talked to Hound yet?"
"Yes he will take care of everything."
"Then there's nothing to worry about for now."
Sasuke shifted his position until he was on top of Naruto. "I wouldn't say that. You are hard down there and that always worries me."
"Then fuck me."
"Are you trying Itachi's trick on me?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him.
"Maybe…Is it working?"
"Yes."
"Then fuck me."
"Shall I start with your face?" Naruto nodded and opened his mouth sticking his tongue out. Holding his head Sasuke pushed his hard member inside the blonde's mouth and moved his hips thrusting until he was entirely in Naruto's mouth. Their gazes met and never broke as he pushed and pulled, hitting the back of the blonde's throat.
Saliva and pre cum mixed in Naruto's mouth, dripping from his lips and Sasuke pulled out slowly. A trail of saliva connected the tip of his erection to Naruto's tongue but the blonde broke it when he moved to suck on Sasuke's testicles.
"You have no idea how amazing your mouth feels."
"Will you fuck me now?" Sasuke pulled the slightly smaller boy on top of him and pushed inside him. With every move of his hips he felt Naruto erection slide against his stomach so he pulled the blonde closer for more contact.
"Fuck me harder, make me bleed." Naruto ordered. Sasuke's throbbing member sliding inside him with such speed put his body on fire and he fell in love with his master all over again like he did every night when they made love. His own neglected member was twitching but he paid no attention to it. "More Sasuke. Fuck me more." He moaned and came on Sasuke's stomach.
"You like my dick, don't you?"
"I love it. Your dick is the best."
"Aren't you a little needy bitch?"
"I'm a bitch who needs to be fucked by your dick." Naruto moaned, the dirty talk making him more aroused. Now he kind of understood why Itachi liked it so much.
Sasuke moved faster making Naruto cry and moan at the same time. "Your dick is piercing me, tearing me up…it feels so good…"
Sasuke spilled his seed inside Naruto and Naruto tensed his muscled to squeeze every drop.
"You're so tight."
"Spill it all inside." Naruto shifted his position making room for Sasuke to wrap his hand around him. He felt like he was doing to explode with all the pleasure and pain. It had to be a sin for a slave to be offered so much pleasure by his master.
"Fuck you, Naruto. Relax your muscles already or I'll come again."
"Yes, fuck me. Spill your seed inside me."
Sasuke was exhausted after a while. He couldn't count the number of times he came inside Naruto and he was sure that he had worn the blonde out too but Naruto wouldn't give up. He fell on top of Sasuke and closed his eyes but still mumbled 'fuck me Sasuke' like a mantra.
