Chapter 7... And finally the storm comes.

The pale white petals opened quickly, showing a wide-eyed oniks. The owner of the oniks quickly moved his body from the bed and ran to the bathroom, when nausea felt more and more stirring his stomach. The door was a victim of the slamming of the young man who ran with his head to the sink and -Hueeekkkk! - the sound of vomit echoed between the tiled silver walls in the room.

One vomit is not even enough. After dinner, last night was washed away in the whirlpool of the sink. His stomach is like being stirred, forcing it to take out all its contents. The young man's breath panted. The bitter and disgusting taste in his mouth made him want to eviscerate once more.

"Ukh-hah - hhk-!"

Sasuke swallowed hard, his breath caught when nausea attacked him again. Immediately he took water from the tap and rinsed it thoroughly.Then take some more water and sip it greedily. Sasuke closed his lips tightly. His hands were tightly clenched. Staring at the reflection of a pale-looking face from behind the mirror in front of him. He gritted his teeth before moving quickly towards the bathroom .

Cold water that fell soaking his body immediately made him shiver with cold. Sasuke turned the tap and changed the temperature of the water to warm. He sighed deeply. His hands began to move to cleanse his body of dirt. The movement of his hand became faster and more rough. His body feels dirty, very dirty, how many times he cleans it, his body still feels so dirty. Living his day without a day is absent from the nausea and vomiting that has now become his routine in the last few days really makes him feel so disgusting. He would only feel relieved after the scent of soap filled his body replaced his disgusting scent of vomit.

His hand stopped when he touched his stomach. Sasuke bit his lips hard. Even though he tried to check it, he still felt a new chakra that was starting to grow in his stomach. However many times he tried to circumvent his situation, his body still reminded him of what was happening.Shit.

Why...

why did this happen to him?

"Damn!" he screamed at whom, his forehead stumbled on the wall, leaning his entire body against the tiled wall in front of him. His eyes closed tightly, as if he did not want to see the reality that was happening to him. This should not have happened, this should not have happened to him. Why...

"Why does this have to happen to me ..." he whispered softly.

"Your Majesty, your breakfast is ready. Do you want us to bring it here? Or do you want to eat it in the dining room, Your Majesty?" asked a waiter to him.

"Hn. Bring here." Sasuke answered briefly, stepping into the dressing room. He opened the closet door, and entered it. Inside is a room that is quite spacious, with so many and various types of clothes that are neatly lined up there. He took off his bathrobe before taking one of the clothes there and wearing it.

Food has been served at a dining table in the room when he finished looking neat. He also told the servants to leave him alone while he ate.Sasuke sighed softly and placed his body in the chair. In front of him there are so many foods with various kinds of menus that will make people drool when they see it. But Sasuke, with his current condition, he-

"Umph!" his hand quickly lifted holding his mouth that wanted to take out the empty stomach. His breath was held back. The smell of meat that should have smelled so delicious suddenly made him want to vomit.

Sasuke held back his nausea, and forced himself to eat something. But what power, the smell of the food in front of him was so thick, it felt so disgusting, rummaging through his stomach roughly forced him to vomit. "Damn!" he growled angrily and -Prang! - the entire food menu on the table slammed hard on the floor.

"Y-Your Majesty ?! What happened ?!" the servants rushed in frantically when they heard the noise of the loud slamming.

"Umph!" his breath was held back when nausea attacked him again. Without wasting time, Sasuke ran towards the bathroom. The float behind him immediately followed in panic, when he heard the sound of vomit from there.

"Y-Your Majesty ?! W-Are you okay? If you don't feel well, I'll call a monk doctor-"

"Noisy!" Sasuke growled angrily, cutting the servant's sentence.

"Go!" sharp offense.

"But, but Your Majesty-" the servant swallowed hard when the gazes of the two onices in front of him became increasingly sharp. He lowered his head in fear and immediately retreated from that place. Another waiter followed him, they quickly cleared the food that had become messy and rushed to leave the prince to be alone.

Sasuke's hands clenched tightly, his teeth trembling angrily. It feels like screaming at the top of the state that is in its nature. An upset feeling that keeps piling up every day seems to want to explode at any time. He was angry, very angry. So angry because this must happen to him ...

Brugh.

Bro!

"Damn it!"

Bam.

"There is no."

"There is no."

"Nothing! Why isn't there anywhere ?!" Sasuke screamed angrily, slamming a book onto the floor hard. Around him the books were scattered in disarray, there were even some who were torn by the tantrums. The supposedly neat bookshelf is now a mess with his books scattered.Chopped dust made the library room even more stuffy.

Sasuke sighed heavily, trying to hold back the emotions he wanted to explode. He slumped to the floor and sat crossing his legs in the middle of a mess of books surrounding him. He took one of the books he hadn't read, and opened the page. The title of the book is not important, because basically all the books he is looking for describe the same thing. He is just looking for something. Something that might give him clues to his body condition now ...

'Marking is done to tie a submissive person to the dominant one. Marking will not make a submissive pregnant. The formation of the uterus will only occur when the two demons are perfectly bound through the mating, because that's-

Srak! - a note of paper was heard when his pale hand turned the page of the book he was holding.

'-Mating will tie two demons for the rest of their lives. Two demons cannot be separated or separated again after they are bound by a sign bond. The chakra that is bound into one cannot be released, and will bind both partners even to death. If a mate loses his life, his partner will also die because of the bond they have- '

Srak! - the paper was reversed again when his eyes still hadn't found what he was looking for.

'Mating is also used to produce offspring. Without going through, a male submissive will not have a womb to conceive a child and give birth to it. Mating- '

Sis!

'The formation of the uterus occurs when the demon's chakra has blended into one. The fetus that begins to form in the womb will need the chakra of both parents to support its life- '

Sis!

'Only through submissive mating can-'

Sis!

'Mating is-'

Sis!

'Mating-'

Sis!

Srakkk!

SSRAKK!

"Damn!" the book slammed hard against the wall.

Sasuke stared fiercely at the book he had slammed. His teeth were snapped tightly, while his hands were tightly clenched. He glanced sideways, saw scattered books that also had the same fate as the book because he could not find anything in it. His eyes obstructed when he caught the word 'mating' from one of the books that opened his page.

" Damn it !" all the books were slammed hard somewhere. His hands trembled angrily, his breath panted, before he finally lost his energy and slumped to the floor.

"Why ..." he whispered to someone, his head bowed and his trembling hand moved to touch his stomach ...

"Why!" now he shouted.

"Why did this happen! We ... we even ..." His eyes began to heat up, his lips trembling to hold back the dam of tears that wanted to fall. "We even ..."

... haven't done the ...

This shouldn't happen ...

Why ... why do so many things have to happen to him ...?

Why does he have to bear this ...?

Why is that ... the fetus ... must grow in its stomach ...

A warm water began to drip on his cheek ...

Even from the many books he read, none of them explained the condition of his body. All the same. All the contents in the books are the same. Keep repeating one sentence that starts to make him sick. What the stupid book writers actually did, why write a book with the same content so much if none of them can help him now ...!

Sasuke raised his hand in front of his face, watching for the chakra that overflowed up and down in his hand. Naruto's sentence rang in his head. If the dominant is also experiencing the same chakra condition. Does that happen because of the fetus it contains now? If it's true then ... then ... what if Naruto knows his current condition ...?

What should he do ...?

He didn't even know how Naruto felt to him ...

Sooner or later, Naruto will immediately feel the fetus on his body. What should he do when that happens ...? What if ... if ...

... Naruto hated him for this ...

What should he do ...?

Why...

The dam finally broke, soaking his pale cheeks with warm water ... His gaze which began to blur became dark when he closed his pale petals. His head bowed, put on his arms which rested on his knees.

"Why ..." his voice became hoarse as it held back a sob.

"Why did this happen ...?"

"Haah ... bothering ..." Shikamaru sighed, he kept his hands in his pants pocket. While his feet stepped lazily following a horse-drawn carriage that walked slowly a few meters in front of him.

The train was accompanied by many knights. Maintain and monitor the conditions around the train so that no problems arise endangering someone who is now on the train. Some Anbu Ne were seen several times appearing from the forest around them, occasionally reporting to their chairman who was right beside the horse carriage.

The masked demon walked alongside the horse carriage, watching closely the condition of his master. The number of Anbu Ne in charge of protecting the train trip tells anyone who sees it to think someone who is sitting on a train is someone who is very important. Even so, there are still a lot of Anbu Ne, because the train still has to be accompanied by many royal knights during its journey.

Oh are you asking who is the person sitting on the horse carriage?

Well, seeing the number of Anbu Ne watching the train, who else is there if not His Majesty the King himself? Anbu Ne is the King's personal knight, who else do they protect if not Danzo. True, the person who was on the horse-drawn carriage was Danzo, the King whom they had to protect with the life of whatever happened.

The train trip, which took several days, was heading to a neighboring country to carry out some royal negotiations which I don't know, only those who knew. Accompanying a king is indeed a very important and honorable work. The knights will definitely scramble to get the chance, but Shikamaru? Haah ... He just sighed. Well ... you already know there are many reasons why this pineapple-haired young man is lazy to do a mission, moreover remembering that the mission must make him protect someone he is supposed to fight later.

Shikamaru glanced to his side, his eyes looking very lazy and sleepy, but his mind spun inquiring at his friend who also had the same mission as he seemed. His head suddenly remembered his conversation with Tsunade some time before.

"Mission?" Shikamaru raised his eyebrows at the blonde woman who was his boss.

"Hmmm, there's something I want you to do ..." Tsunade muttered, taking something from the desk drawer.

"But when it's urgent like this? Don't we still have to think about our coup plan?" Shikamaru asked in surprise.

"Hmm, yeah, precisely because of that ... Oh!" Tsunade's words stopped momentarily when he managed to find the file he had saved last night. He handed the file to Shikamaru and said again. "I want you to investigate this matter. There is something I want you to confirm."

Shikamaru raised his eyebrows in confusion, but still received the file. He opened it one by one. His eyes widened when he saw what the file contained. "This..."

"Do you still remember the assignment I gave to investigate the blonde boy?" Tsunade decided to ask.

"Naruto? About that ... I think there is something strange about him. He seems to be hiding his true strength. I saw him while on a mission, plus yesterday's practice match ..." Shikamaru replied hanging, analyzing what's inside his head.

"Right, Uzumaki Naruto. He will also take part in the mission this time. There is something you have to make sure ..."

Shikamaru sighed again. Because of Tsunage's request, he was forced to take on a quite boring mission now. His eyes glanced once again at his friend, or you could call him someone he was now investigating.

Yep, he is a blond young man named Uzumaki Naruto. There was still no suspicious movement from his friend, no, it did not mean Naruto acted like he always did - being a young man who could not keep quiet and continued to chatter or grin everywhere. The young man looks more silent now.

Could it be because of yesterday's match practice? Well, it's only natural, considering that yesterday's event really made a scene, and it seemed like that was the reason for the blond young man's silence.

Shikamaru glanced around, his ears able to hear whispers from the other knights. He could feel so many strange views aimed at his friend, and he admitted he also did the same thing to his friend. What else can they do? Who isn't curious about someone who should be a weak demon who can't even do shapeshifting , suddenly becomes a four-tailed demon? It's not their fault, if they're half-curious about the blond young man.

Moreover, the blond youth they were talking about acted as if nothing had happened. None of them dared to break their curiosity and ask the young man directly. There is an awkward or hesitant feeling when they want to betanya. Plus fear considering the number of tails that the young man now has.

There is an unwritten law which says that stronger demons can control weaker demons, and the more tails that demon possesses the more demonic power. This made them a little afraid of approaching the blonde youth now.

If the young man said he did not want to be disturbed, then they could not interfere. Because the demon blood in their body will be scared and obey the sentence like an instinct. So, all they could do now was whisper from behind, which actually made the blond youth even more uncomfortable.

Naruto sighed for so many times. He should not have taken part in this mission. What exactly does this do now? If all he gets is views and whispers that don't wear. They think he can't hear it now? They are wrong if they think the listener's senses are just the normal sense of hearing. He had practiced for years to train his five senses carefully. The voice that should have been just a whisper sounded like an ordinary conversation in his ear.

This is really bad news for him. He might still be safe in the eyes of those stupid demons. They would only think he had just gotten a high strength or something, which made his strength increase to four tails, or maybe because he had practiced quietly to increase it or because he had indeed hidden it from the start.

They would not think too far as he was infiltrating the kingdom to carry out a King's coup. But what about the others? Rumors about his tail will definitely spread throughout the kingdom. The Hokage woman must have heard it now, then what about the royal officials? Councils? Or even Danzo himself? He didn't know how he was now in the demons' eyes. Whatever it is, one thing is certain, its position is now very precarious. He can't waste much more time here. He must immediately think of a plan to kill Danzo before it is too late.

Oh, by the way about that rotten demon, maybe because of that he decided to take part in this mission now. Being a knight in charge of protecting Danzo itself might be his chance to look for the slightest thing as a gap in his plans later.

Naruto glanced into his hand when he saw a carved symbol burning. The symbols appeared within seconds on the back of his left hand then disappeared back to normal. His Chakra starts to flare up again. The symbol in his hand was a seal he had deliberately installed to control his chakra. Not completely curbing the chakra in the body. He can still use it, only within certain limits. If the chakra increases to exceed that limit, then the seal will work to curb it as it did.

Naruto still did not find the cause of his chakra instability. He really didn't know what was happening to his body. This never happen before.Indeed, there are a number of things that can be used as possible causes of losing control. But he had tried a number of things to restore it to its original state. But the result? Huh, just remembering it made him want to shout angrily.

The luxury design train finally arrived in a neighboring country. A quite festive and majestic reception made the knights a little shocked in holding back the cheers that greeted them. The train was immediately delivered to the royal palace. The negotiation they did did not take a long time. They only stayed overnight, before finally returning to their original kingdom.

"Naruto." Shikamaru called lazily, approaching his friend who was standing near the King's horse carriage. Danzo had finished negotiating, so now they were waiting for the King to return from the palace before they finally made their way home.

Naruto glanced sideways, a little worried about what Shikamaru wanted to talk about. The pineapple-haired young man is a demon who has a genius brain. He can't think of it like other stupid demons.

Shikamaru sighed, his legs stopped after he stood right beside Naruto. They stood in rows, facing the view of the palace building in front of them. Both of their faces were staring straight ahead, but they knew that each of them stealthily stole glances through the corners of their eyes to find out the facial expressions of their opponents.

"So ... do you intend to tell it?" Shikamaru asked without further ado.

"'What do you mean?" Naruto replied with a face that didn't understand.

"No need to pretend you don't know." Shikamaru sighed. "I was really shocked when I was training yesterday. I didn't know you had that much power."

"No. It's not like that!" Naruto shouted a little, putting on a face like a troubled person. Shikamaru who was slightly shocked finally turned to his friend. "I don't even know what really happened! You have to help me Shika! My position is getting more uncomfortable because they keep talking about me. You don't know how shocked I was when fighting Neji yesterday. The chakra on her body suddenly seemed to overflow! And when I realized, I already kicked Neji like that! I'm completely- "

"Wait, wait a minute. I don't understand." Shikamaru was forced to cut off the chatter of his friend who began to be confused, confusing him.

"I told you I don't know what happened, my body suddenly moved on its own, and my tail has become four like that! I can't even do shapeshifting! Me too-"

"Uh, slowly, immortal. I can't hear it clearly. Troublesome ..." said Shikamaru, massaging his forehead.

"I told you I don't know what happened!" Naruto said irritably, puffing out his cheeks and frowning like a child.

There was a pause before Shikamaru finally said. "You did not know...?" he said confused

'He does not know...? Is it true...? But ... ' Shikamaru wondered, his head spinning hard to find out the answer to the increasingly confusing thing.

"Is it true?!" a sudden shouting shocked the two demons. They turned towards the sound.

"Yep, I heard that Your Majesty will invite some important guests from other kingdoms during the festival later. Ahh ... I hope there will be one of the kingdoms that sends a Princess to Konoha ..." one of the demon who was chatting was wishing.

"Princess? Pfft even though they really came, you also won't be able to meet him, we're just lowly people, don't expect anything ..." one of the demons taunted.

"Tch, it's okay to dream a little. Indeed you don't want to see a princess? Konoha only has a prince now." The demon replied.

"But if it's true there will be guests from other countries, this festival will definitely be very festive! I can't wait to go back to Konoha." Another demon said in response.

"Festival?" Naruto unconsciously murmured.

Shikamaru turned towards him before sighing. "Commemoration of the establishment of the Konoha Kingdom. We always hold festivals every year to celebrate, remember?"

"Hmm ..." Naruto muttered unclear. He turned towards the palace when he heard the sound of cheers and noise from there. The large gate opened, then quickly a number of guards ran out of the door and lined up before the gate neatly, forming a road as if welcoming someone.

The Konoha knights quickly responded, without being ordered, they had taken a position and lined up like the guard. Accompanying a red carpet that rises long to the gate. Naruto, who was near the train, walked casually to take his position. He turned to the gate and grinned with satisfaction. A plan is now starting to form in his head. 'Festival huh ...?' his mind smiled slyly. 'I don't think there is any bad thing I am carrying out this mission ...'

A trumpet was sounded followed by a notification that the King of Konoha was ready to return. The King who was mentioned was finally out of the gate, accompanied by many guards and escorts. Sapah was carried out briefly, before finally Danzo was ready to return to his home country. Danzo stepped slowly but loudly on the red carpet which was heavily guarded by the knights, walking uncertainly towards the horse carriage that he was riding to return.

After a few minutes, Danzo finally arrived in front of his mount train. He also raised his feet to go up the stairs that connected the train to the ground he was walking on. The train door was wide open allowing him to enter.

"May you be lucky on your journey, Your Majesty." A voice suddenly stopped his body movements.

Danzo turned to the side. One of his eyebrows bent in surprise. Never once did someone dare to talk to him like this, moreover they were only a lowly knight in charge of guarding him.

The knight who had just spoken lowered his face, his hands floated in the air, made a gesture like he was letting the master before him to get on the train, and then he looked up, successfully making Danzo's only visible eye widen in surprise, when look...

... two familiar shapire eyes stared directly at him. A blonde mess that is slightly messy moves to follow the movement of the wind that blows past it. The pale pink lips formed a sharp grin, the three cuts on the cheeks raised slightly made the tanned face look even wilder.

"Y-you ..." Danzo involuntarily let out his voice.

"I hope you are safe on your journey, Your Majesty," Naruto said with a grin, his two sapphires staring sharply at the demon who was years older than him.

Danzo was stunned to see him. The face he hadn't seen for years, someone's face that he thought had died eleven years ago now appeared right in front of him. Danzo was momentarily stunned at what he was seeing before his lips formed a grin, his small black eyes returned a sharp gaze of sapphires in front of him.

"Ah ... thank you. You also be careful. Danger can appear at any time without us knowing" Reply Danzo grinned.

"Right. The danger can threaten our lives at any time." Naruto replied no less sharply.

A lightning seemed to snatch between the very sharp eye contact. The gaze that should only last a few seconds felt so long between the two demons who hated each other. Lips grinned at each other, flashes of lightning snatched through each other's eyes, as if they were declaring each other's statements of war.

Danzo finally let go of their contact, and moved again into the train. He immediately placed his body on the throne on the train. The door that only closed half made it turn sideways. Naruto grinned at him, his hands holding the doorknob. "Night can come whenever you pick us up, so be careful ..." - and the door closes. "... Danzo." He said, smiling coldly.

The night wind slid softly against whatever was passing through. The supposedly quiet night became noisy when the knights flocked into the palace area. After it was their duty to protect the King on his journey. Arriving at the palace they went straight to the rooms of each room, but some also chose to go for drinks and partying celebrating the success of their mission.

Naruto walked leisurely towards his room in the knight academy. He kept his hands in his pants pocket, his sapphire eyes straight forward, and his lips formed a satisfied grin. He couldn't wait to get into his room immediately. There were many things he had to think about and do before making a plan of rebellion that he had been waiting for after all this time.

One of his hands came out of his pocket, pulled out a key that he used to open the door to his room. Klak! - The door lock is open. Naruto slowly turned the doorknob. The brown mahogany door opened, giving him space to enter the room behind it. But after only two steps he moved, his body suddenly stopped when he saw something that made him stunned.

Naruto paused for a moment, staring in disbelief at the 'something' in his room. The 'something' didn't move, maybe because he didn't realize his arrival now. After a while, Naruto sighed. His hand, which still held the door handle, closed the mahogany door slowly, as quiet as possible so as not to make a sound. He also locked the door. The shoes he wore were released carefully. Somehow he didn't want to make a sound now. After putting his shoes on the shelf, he walked to the center of the room. He stopped right in front of his bed, only a few steps away from the object of the file. The two sapphires stared straight ahead, towards the 'something' which was now very comfortably asleep on his bed. The 'something' moved slightly and let out a small groan, but it didn't wake up at all.

The thin movement was almost invisible but Naruto could still catch it. A small chuckle unnoticed. Suddenly he remembered why he really liked to pay attention to the 'something' that was in front of him. The messy raven mane fell over a pale white forehead when the mane owner moved his head. The moonlight that infiltrated through the window bounced off the milky white skin, making it sparkle very beautiful. Two oniks beads now hide behind pale-skinned petals. Long, plump eyelashes make the handsome look even more beautiful. A soft breath sounded so sweet to fill the room.

The raven-haired young man fell asleep very comfortably on the bed. He let out a small groan and then hugged the pillow he held tightly as if he were feeling cold. Naruto half-consciously moved his legs forward. He grabbed the blanket on the side of the bed to cover the raven's body. His eyes stopped at the raven's beautiful face. Naruto sat on the floor, his sapphires stared fixedly at the raven before him.

Naruto continued to stare without blinking, as if watching a very beautiful face was so pleasant. But, maybe right, he felt he would never be bored seeing the raven. That beautiful face, dark black eyes that always drifted away by its beauty, cherry tiny lips that look sexy when they move, their arrogant, childish nature, their expressions that are so sweet when blushing, even the slightest movements from them are sometimes adorable, all, nothing about the raven even made him feel bored.

"Sasuke ..." the name slipped from her lips very softly almost silent.

One of his hands stretched forward, reaching for a strand of mane that had fallen over the face of the raven. He gently caressed the black mane. Smooth. The black strands felt so smooth on his fingers. It's surprising that you remember the back hair sticking out against gravity. A thin smile was painted on his lips.

'What is he doing here?' the question crossed his mind. Finding Sasuke asleep in his room when he returned really surprised him. He did not understand what made the raven like to go to his room. Various questions occurred to him, but none came out of his lips.

'Why is he here?'

'Has he been here long?'

'Is he having another nightmare?'

'Is he looking for me?'

'Is he ...

"Naru ..." the name was suddenly called so softly, stopping the movement of his hand playing with the mane of the raven. Naruto's body froze, he stared in alarm at Sasuke, afraid of the raven suddenly awakening. His breath was even held back without realizing it.

'Is he ...

"Naruto ..." he called again softly. But Sasuke will not wake up at all. The pale petals were still tightly closed. Only a small murmur could be heard from the tiny lips. A very small and soft murmur but able to make the butterfly in his stomach wake up and fell down. A tickling and suffocating feeling suddenly filled his chest.

... miss me? '

Naruto swallowed hard. Suddenly his body became itchy. His hand still floating awkwardly over the head of the raven was clenched tightly. The feeling of tickling in his chest felt even more, as if telling him to follow his body's wishes. He wanted to touch the beautiful face, he wanted to see the beaded oniks staring at him glumly, he wanted to kiss the tiny lips, he wanted to hug the pale skinned body with exasperation, he wanted to breathe the sweet scent mixed with mint that he really liked, he wanted to feel the neck the very seductive level, he wanted to touch it, he really wanted ...

"I like you..."

... and all those thoughts immediately dispersed when one sentence rang in his head. Naruto snapped his teeth firmly. His hand still floating in the air fell back to its origin. Why...

Why do you have to now ...

Can't Sasuke wait longer ...?

Can't ...

Not...

Maybe that's not it ...

Maybe if their position isn't like now ...

If only ... their situation is not like now ...

Maybe he ...

Maybe they can ...

"Tch!" the swear came out of his mouth. Naruto immediately left the floor. He also angrily stepped into the bathroom room. As if in a hurry, he stepped quickly towards his shower . Cold water immediately poured down his body. But the coldness of the water seemed unable to calm his mind. The clothes that were still wrapped around his body were soaked, clinging like skin to his body.

Bugh!

A fist hit the tiled blue wall in front of him. Naruto sighed. He pressed his forehead against the wall. His energy and emotions slowly disappeared along with the cold water flowing over his body. His eyes closed. One breath slipped again from his lips.

"What should I do...?"

After a few minutes, Naruto came out of his bathroom, only wrapped in a towel that covered his lower body. Grains of water still dripped on his neck and chest, his hair did not escape the water. He sighed and stepped into his wardrobe.

"Naruto ...?" a voice called out to him. Naruto turned towards the bed, finding Sasuke awake from his sleep. One hand that rubbed his eyes told him that the raven was still sleepy.

"When did you come back, dobe?" Sasuke asked him. One steam is released from his mouth.

Naruto paused for a moment then moved again towards his closet. He opened the closet and looked for clothes to wear. "Just now." He replied to Sasuke after a while.

Sasuke realized that the blond young man was only wearing a towel, reflexively turning his face away, his cheeks blushing slightly. "I didn't hear it ..." he murmured.

Sasuke glanced carefully at Naruto, he was a little relieved when he saw the young man already dressed. Stupid. What's wrong with him, even though he had seen Naruto's body completely. For what reason he turned his face like that.

Intending to eliminate awkwardness, Sasuke opened his mouth again, but stopped when he remembered the incident a few days ago. Sasuke bit his lip. He still remembers how cold the two sapphires were when they were angry. He did not know what Naruto knew about his condition now. It would not be surprising, if Naruto suspected him of being the cause of their chakra instability, and Sasuke would also not be able to dodge, because that ... was true ...

"W-Are you angry at me ...?" the sentence of this question finally said doubtfully.

Sasuke bit his lips tightly, daring not to lift his face to see Naruto's facial expressions now.

Silence formed when none of them spoke.

Naruto was stunned when he heard the question. He paused for a moment before sighing. He closed the closet and took the towel he dropped on the floor. "Not."He finally answered. He turned and looked at the raven.

Sasuke looked up immediately when he heard that, the two oniks glowed with relief. "Is it true?" he asked again, venturing to look at the blonde sapphire.

Instead of answering, Naruto just stared at Sasuke for a moment before stepping towards the bathroom. He put the towel he was carrying on one of the hangers on the bathroom wall.

"Are you mad at me!" Sasuke spoke again to him to the bathroom.

Naruto sighed, then turned again. "I am not angry." He said to the raven, before stepping into the fridge, past the raven standing at the bathroom door. He took a bottle of drinking water and swallowed the water greedily.

"But yesterday ..." Sasuke bit his lip, his head bowed. His mind raged. Did Naruto know now? Is Naruto angry about that? Should he do it if Naruto already knows? Or if he really doesn't know? Should he tell Naruto about the situation? And again and again so many questions continue to spin in his head.

'What should he do now?' only one question that he really wanted to find out was the answer. He was confused, very confused, and also ... afraid ...

"W-What about your chakra ...?" Sasuke decided to ask.

"Why?"he asked Naruto. He put the drinking bottle on the table, then leaned his body on the table, his body facing Sasuke. "Do you know the cause?" he asked again, staring suspiciously at the two oniks.

Sasuke held his body hard not to panic, keeping his expression as normal as possible. "I told you I don't know anything, dobe."

Naruto still looked at the raven before finally sighing. "What are you doing here, Sasuke?" he asked, suddenly changing the subject.

Instead of feeling relieved, Sasuke grew even more panicked. "II ..." What is he doing here ?! Think! Let's think about something Sasuke. "I'm just ..." Shit. What should he say ?! There's no way he said he came here because he wanted to meet the blond young man.

"Only...?"

"Uh ... can't I come here ?!" Sasuke finally asked questions with annoyance.

"No, it's just ..." Naruto muttered. "Hah, forget it ..." he muttered lazily, he moved from his place to the table in the corner of the room.

"Are you really not mad at me ...?" Sasuke asked, biting his lips again.

Naruto sighed. "Why do I have to be angry? Didn't you say you didn't know anything?"

"B-but ... I heard from the servants about yesterday's match practice ... They all already know about your strength now ..." Sasuke said a little muttering. "Are you going to do something about that?"

"I won't do anything about it. I can't change it if they already know. Besides, there are other things I have to do now." Naruto's light. He opened a small cupboard under the table, then took a roll of paper.

"Other thing?" Sasuke asked confusedly, he approached the blond young man to see what he was doing.

"I'll do the plan soon." Said Naruto, staring at the two oniks who looked at him confusedly.

"Plan?!" the black bead swelled as he finally understood the sentence of the blond youth before him.

"Right. The plan to murder the king of the kingdom. I'll do it soon." Naruto replied with a sly smile.

"W-when?" Sasuke asked incredulously.

"Why? Are you going to stop me, Sasuke? I won't be surprised if you say you will stop my plan. I-

"I will help you!" Sasuke suddenly cut Naruto's sentence quickly.

This time it's Naruto's turn to buy a sapphire. He was stunned to look at Sasuke in disbelief, and Sasuke seemed to understand that, because he repeated his words again.

"I'll help you. I've thought about it carefully. Let me help with your plan, Dobe." Sasuke's light, confidence was clearly reflected in the two onices.

"I will kill a king." Said Naruto as if he wanted to make Sasuke wake up.

"I know. Danzo made this kingdom more and more destroyed. Didn't you yourself say that too."

"I could lie to you." Said Naruto again.

"But you don't. I see the proof myself." Sasuke replied confidently, smiling satisfied when he saw Naruto who was still stunned.

"You're a crown prince. This is a betrayal."

"This is a coup. I did it because I knew this was the right thing." The smile on his lips widened into a grin.

Naruto opened his mouth again, but Sasuke quickly cut it off. "No need to beat around the bush, dobe. I know you're happy to get my help. I'm sure of my decision. Whatever you say won't change my mind."

Naruto paused, still staring intently at the two oniks. "Really? Are you sure, Sasuke?" he finally asked with a disparaging smile.

"Hn."

The two pairs of eyes met intensely. They just stared at each other, looking for sincerity from behind the reflections of each bead. Sasuke confidently, while Naruto ...

... the two sapphires faded slightly. A question crossed his mind. 'even if ... I said I was the son of the traitor king ...

... Are you going to think the same thing, Sasuke ...? '

"This will be a difficult battle, Sasuke." he said to the raven, still staring at the two black beads.

"I know. That's why I want to help you, Dobe." Sasuke grinned with confidence.

"Are you sure this is the place, Kiba?" a voice was heard in the darkness of the capital.

"Of course! Shika has brought me here to know!" Kiba returned the voice irritably.

"Then why is there no one here? The door is also locked. Where can we enter?" another voice responded.

"Right! It's already midnight. Isn't that the time of the agreement?" this time a higher pitched voice spoke.

"I know! They're late, don't blame me. I'm sure we're not wrong!" Kiba protested irritably at his friends.

"Don't be noisy. We don't want anyone to hear right?" another voice responded.

"But, Neji! It's past midnight! What if it turns out that Shikamaru is lying?" Tenten spoke again.

"Hey! This is my boyfriend you are talking about! He can't lie!" Kiba protested.

"Then why hasn't he appeared yet?" Temari demanded.

"But didn't Shika get a mission a few days ago? What if she hasn't returned?" Chouji responded.

"Mission? Why does he make the agreement now, if he can't come?" Kankurou also spoke, moved from his place which leaned against the wall.

"Hah ... troublesome ... can you not argue with me like that?" the owner who had been discussed earlier came from the dimly lit hallway.

"Shika!"

"Shikamaru!"

"Why are you taking so long, Shika?!" Kiba protested towards him.

"Haah ... troublesome ..." Shikamaru sighed. "I just returned an hour ago. Why didn't you come in?"

"If you mean to enter through the locked door, what if you tell us how?" Neji asked, raising eyebrows.

"Locked?" Shikamaru raised his eyebrows in confusion. He approached the door and tried it to open it, and indeed the door was locked. He sighed again. "There should be someone who welcomes you here ..." he muttered confusedly, eyes gliding through the hallway, checking one-of-his-friends' faces. The hallway where they were quite dark, only lit by lights. But, as owl, he can easily see in the dark. He looked at one of the roofs of the house that was not so high on the aisle. He sighed again. "Troublesome ..."

"Kakashi-sensei, why don't you go down here?" call him to someone who is hiding there.

The entire pair of eyes was reflexively turned towards the direction Shikamaru was looking at. Their eyes widened in surprise when someone suddenly jumped down from the roof. 'Why didn't I realize it before?' each of them thought the same thing.

"Ara ... I think it can hide longer, your eyes are indeed an observant in Shika's darkness." Said Kakashi with a grin, the expression is shown by one eye.

"It's troublesome ..." Shikamaru sighed again. "So what about Sensei? Has Sensei got what Sensei is looking for? They are still clean right?" he asked the silver-haired demon without further ado, as if he knew what Kakashi was doing by hiding earlier.

"Ara ... you are indeed a genius Shika. Take it easy, your friends escaped my observation." Reply Kakashi is still smiling.

"Wait what are you talking about, who is this person?" interrupted Kankurou irritably.

"Ah ... that's right. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hatake Kakashi, one of the knights in Konoha. This must be the first time we've met because I've stopped being a teacher in the academy for a long time." The light of Kakashi with curved eyes forms a 'U' like he is smiling happily.

"Hatake Kakashi ?! Hatake Kakashi the Copy Ninja from Konoha ?! The Dog Knight is famous for his genius and greatness. I never thought there would be an opportunity to meet a rival who was able to defeat Gai-sensei!" Lee shouted suddenly with eyes sparkling in admiration.

"Ah ... you must be Lee, Gai often talks about you." Kakashi replied still with a smile in his eyes, recognizing Lee's appearance which was very much like Gai.

"Wait, what do you mean by observation? Did you stalk us from before?" Neji spoke curiously, a little dislike because he was unconsciously observed.

"Haha take it easy, all of you graduate. I just want to make sure you really match what Shikamaru said. This meeting is very important, I don't want any intruders coming here." Obviously Kakashi in a happy tone.

Everyone was immediately alert when they heard the word 'meeting' from the silver-haired demon, some of them smiled confidently because they could take part in the meeting, but there also felt a little nervous.

"Troublesome ... what if we just enter now?" Shikamaru said lazily, he took the key from his pants pocket, then opened the door of the bar located in the hallway.

The door opened, revealing a dark bar with no lighting. One by one the demons went inside. Kakashi is the last to enter, checking the outside for the last time before locking the door tightly and following the others.

"Finally you come in too." A voice suddenly rang out, drawing the attention of all demons to him.

"Haku! If you already know we're outside, why isn't the door opened ?!" Kiba protested toward a beautiful young man standing at the door near the bar table.

"Hi, Kiba-chan." Sapa Haku with a beautiful smile. "Too bad. But it's Kakashi's job to bring you in. Sorry Kiba-chan." He explained.

"What is the task! He has been hiding since then! And stop calling me frills 'chan'!" Kiba protested again.

"Hah ... troublesome ... can we just go straight in?" Shikamaru asked lazily.

"Hihi, you're impatient, Shika. Alright, let's go in." Said Haku turned into the room behind the door, leaving the young demons at the bar stunned to see the beauty of the young man's appearance.

"Hey, who is that girl?" Kankurou whispered curiously at Kiba.

Kiba paused to hear that, before he burst out laughing. "Hahaha girl? She's a guy!"

"W-what?! You're kidding! She's so beautiful, there's no way she's a guy!" Kankurou's denial doesn't believe him.

"Why don't you just ask? And you should be careful with his girlfriend." Kiba replies with fear, before he walks after the others into the room.

"Girlfriend?"

After passing through several rooms, they finally reached the end of the hall, where the hidden door was located. The young stared in amazement and amazement at the bar, which looked so small from the outside, it turned out that it was quite a large and winding room, plus a basement secret which either they were not sure how big it was.

"For a long time, Tsunade-sama has been waiting." Said a tall-bodied demon or can also be called the 'boyfriend', was waiting for them at the end of the hall. Kankurou's desire to get to know Haku immediately when he saw how ferocious Zabuza's appearance was. No wonder Kiba warned him. Huh.

The wall turned into a sliding door when the door opened at the end of the hallway. One by one they descended the stairs and entered the basement. After a few minutes they arrived at a door and entered it.

Neji looked like it was filled with the contents of the underground room. The room was quite spacious and wide, but only lit by few lights. But that wasn't what surprised him. But the contents, the corner from the room, reached the other corner, filled with many demons lined up. What surprised him most of the academics were present in the room. Even the Hokage himself led the meeting.

"Tousan!" Ino called screaming when he found his parents already in the room. Even the parents of two friends, Shikamaru and Chouji were also there.

Tsunade cleared his throat is loud to attract the attention of the newcomers. All the demons there were silent and turned to the blonde woman who was their leader.

Tsunade glanced at all the demons who had just arrived and made sure his face was one on one. They've made it here, which means they are cleared of Kakashi's observation. "Ino, Chouji, Neji, Hinata, Lee, Tenten, Temari, Kankurou, Gaara, Shino." He gave them one by one. "Before I start, I have one question for you." He said with a sly smile, making the ten demons nervous.

"I want you to tell me ..." Tsunade glanced one by one at their faces. "... your goal is to come to this meeting."

There was a pause when none of them answered the question. After a few minutes, finally one of the ten demons stepped forward and boldly answered.

"The Hyuuga clan is the last remnant of the dragon demon clan. A few years ago there was a disaster that struck our family. Hinata-sama, and some of our family members survived it because someone saved us. That person is Namikaze Minato. -same." Said Neji, without hesitation in the slightest reciting the name that had become a taboo in the Konoha Kingdom. "I was very surprised when I heard rumors about Minato-sama. Because of that we came to Konoha to find out about it. Tsunade-sama, I knew Shikamaru invited us here because of your order, but ..." he sat on one knee and gave respect for Tsunade. "Minato-sama is the savior of our family, we will do anything to restore Minato-sama's name. Because of that,allow me and Hinata-sama to join in the plan for this rebellion. "He said confidently.

"Aaa-I-also, Ts-tsunade-sama!" Hinata said haltingly, she looked down with her cousin brother.

Tsunade was slightly shocked at the request. He smiled smugly and told the two Hyuuga descendants to return to their place. "Good. I'm glad to hear that. Anything else?" he glanced at the other demons.

This time Temari, followed by his two brothers who came forward. He has two brothers and is nodded confidently before starting to speak. "Me and my two coupons. Don't know what happened to King Minato eleven years ago, or about Danzo who is on the evil side. We just don't like the condition of this kingdom now. In just one look, we have decided that we hate this King of the kingdom. This is our chance to vent our dislike. " Temari said with a grin.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow, then glanced at the two brothers.

"Well, Temari explained it. I just want Danzo to get off his fancy chair." Kankurou shrugged his shoulders.

"What about him?" Sister who was just silent from earlier.

"Oh, haha, don't worry about Gaara. As long as we're here, he won't make a tantrum." Temari said with a grin, embracing his younger brother lightly.

"I understand, how about you?" Tsunade is the best at the rest of the other newcomers.

One by one they also said the reason they attended the meeting. Starting from Lee with the sentence of his youth, then continued with Ino and Chouji, Tenten, and finally Shino. Tsunade nodded in satisfaction after they all finished saying their destination came here. As Shikamaru has investigated, they are quite trustworthy to be involved in the imminent coup plan.

"Wait, what about Kiba? Didn't you tell him to talk?" Kankurou protested suddenly, glancing at the red tattooed young man who was standing right beside Shikamaru.

"He has been here for longer than you guys. Shikamaru with him remember?" explained Tsunade, which was followed by Kiba by sticking his tongue very childishly to Kankurou. Kankurou glared irritably at him.

Tsunade cleared his throat to raise the entire demo in the room. After getting it, he said. "Welcome to this meeting. I know you must have been waiting for this meeting for a long time. After all this time, we finally have the opportunity to carry out this coup plan."

Tsunade raised her hand to stop people from surrounding demons who started cheering and shouting excitedly. "We have got lots of evidence and guidance. I have ordered several people to prepare our plans three weeks ago, and now we finally get the right time to implement this coup plan." Bright again.

The demons cheered happily, showing how impatient they were to carry out the plans that had been arranged for years. Tsunade raised her hand again before speaking. He smiled proudly, staring at one by his men - no, not subordinates, but friends to restore their kingdom as before. Nodded with satisfaction and said. "The Konoha Festival will take place tomorrow night, and that night will also be a night where we will begin to change history." He said suddenly surprised all demons in the room.

"We'll have a coup tomorrow night at the festival." Said Tsunade with a grin full of confidence.

"I will attack Danzo on festival night."

The sentence that came out of Naruto's lips managed to make Sasuke widen in surprise.

"B-tomorrow ?!" Sasuke repeated if he didn't believe it. "Wait, won't the guarding festival get tighter?"

"That's right. The Konoha Festival is the establishment of this kingdom every year. There are lots of activities to attend to late at night. Some guests invited from other countries tight, but do you know what security is for Sasuke? " Naruto said to the raven.

"It is not obvious, this festival is a very big event, all Konoha will celebrate. Of course we will need guidance to regulate the security of this festival. Therefore ..." All words were stopped when he realized something. The two sapphires as if to make sure.

Naruto grinned. It seems like Sasuke already understood what he was looking for now.

"But, isn't that too risky ?! What if it turns out that Danzo has more guards, you also can't forget the Anbu Ne!" Sasuke said, disagreeing.

"No. At first I also thought this would be too risky. But it would not be that I should aim for. Others would think that attacking during a tightly guarded festival is very dangerous. are complacent? "Naruto replied with a grin.

"During the festival, the knights will guard twice as much as they should. In fact, sometimes they will lack people. But the King they protect, but the people who carry out the festival. The knights must make sure the festival runs safely and smoothly, so they will be moved throughout the capital, not just silent in the palace, besides that, they will not leave guests unattended, there will be several Ne Anbu who are mobilized to protect them is the right opportunity to attack. " Bright again.

"But ..." Sasuke fell silent. "What about the plan? Have you thought about it?" Sasuke decided to ask.

"Hmm, about that, I have thought about it. I will attack there. But there is something I must confirm first ..." Naruto said as he thought .

"Wait, Dobe, I didn't say that was a bad plan. But what would you do after you succeeded in killing Danzo? What about the Ministers, Daimyo, Nobles, and even the Council? They would not say nothing if they knew the King has been killed "You can't kill the King and just leave. Even if you manage to escape, they won't stay quiet. You're just alone! " Snapped Sasuke disagreeing.

"Didn't you say that would help me?" Naruto replied lightly, as if the things were talking about were not important.

"Just me won't be enough, idiot! I don't understand how you can infiltrate here alone to kill Danzo! Even if you succeed in doing it, then how after that, the council can choose a new King, and remember "The kingdom will only return to normal. What are you going to do, do you want to kill them one by one ?!" Sasuke demanded again.

Naruto fell silent. The two looks at Sasuke's two oniks. "I think I have the Crown Prince who helped me?"

Sasuke was stunned when he heard it. "You ... told me to take over this kingdom?"

"You don't want to do it? Aren't you sooner or later you will become the King of Konoha?" Naruto continued to stare intently at the two onices.

"Or are you afraid to do it Sasuke?"

The two oniks widened to hear it, before one second later turned into a sharp delikan. "No kidding."Sharp hiss. "Why am I afraid to do it? As a crown prince, it is my duty to lead Konoha." He said with a sharp look.

"I'm glad to hear that, Your Majesty." Naruto replied with a grin. Even though in the depths of his heart, without anyone knowing, Naruto was ... shouting.

This is very stupid. Really stupid. What is he really doing now. The plan was really like a double-edged knife, which could strike him at any time. Even if the plan works, what should he do afterwards?

He should not have involved Sasuke from the start. This is really stupid. Very stupid. That's because Sasuke ... hates him.

Sasuke hates the son of the traitor king. If Sasuke knew who he really was, he would definitely hate him and his plan ... will be totally destroyed. Should he do this? Should Sasuke be involved in the plan?

Not.Why did he become doubtful now? The main priority is to restore the kingdom as usual. Even if he didn't do it later, this kingdom could still run well in Sasuke's hands. Right. He was sure Sasuke would be able to do it.

Now all he needed to do now was get rid of Danzo and his followers from this kingdom. Only after everything is done can he surrender this kingdom to Sasuke. Only that. That's the only mission now.

"Sasuke."call it to the raven. "Are you sure you can do this?" he asked, looking at the two oniks seriously.

Sasuke who felt the seriousness was a little stunned. His body suddenly became afraid. But not. He won't be afraid. Naruto believed it. He was sure he could do this well.

"Hn. Of course, Dobe. This is my job." He said grinning, the two oniks stared in confidence.

Naruto returned the grin, staring intently at the two oniks.

Right.Everything will work out fine. The plan will definitely succeed, and Konoha will return to normal. Only that is what he needs to think about now.

Even if Sasuke hates him later ...

That ... won't matter to him ...

"We'll have a coup tomorrow night at the festival." Said Tsunade with a grin full of confidence.

"Tomorrow?!"

"At the festival ?!"

One by one, the demons in the room wondered. Tsunade turned towards Shikaku, and nodded at him. Shikaku lazily finally stepped forward to the center of the room, right next to Tsunade standing up. "Haah ... troublesome ..." his typical sentence came out of his lips.

He sighed before glancing at one of the demons around him, glanced at Tsunade to let him start.

"Alright, I know you must have many questions. Shikaku as the brain of this coup plan, will explain our plan in details. Said Tsunade told the pineapple haired man to explain.

Shikaku nodded lazily, then moved his hands to form hand seals quickly, then he clapped his hands hard and-

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

Poof!

Several rolls of paper appeared randomly in the hands of several demons. They gasped in surprise, but immediately understood and opened the paper quickly.

"That is the plan of the royal palace. I have marked a number of places there." Shikaku immediately explained. "Our plan is divided into several places. First, we have to catch the officials and the minister of the kingdom. You can see it in the plan, I have the place they will use while enjoying the festival, they will drink and drink, we will use the opportunity, some will also spill out, there are some nobles who are followers of Danzo, I want you to arrest him alive The first team will be led by Zabuza question? " he explained for part of their first plan.

My Shik is nodded in satisfaction when there are no supporting demons to ask. He also decided to continue. "Second, we have to capture the royal councils and daimyo. There are some of them who know the real condition of this kingdom. We will need them as witnesses of last year's events. This team will be led by Asuma." He is happy to make sure there are questions before he continued again.

"And the last is to catch Danzo alive. I have marked a number of places that Danzo will visit when the festival takes place. We will attack when the festival is over. The guard will weaken at that time. The plan to capture Danzo will be led by Kakashi. We will divided into four groups, the first group will help Zabuza, the second will come with Asuma, and the last will help Kakashi, the fourth group consists only of myself, Inoichi, and Tsunade-sama.We will monitor this plan remotely. question?" Shikaku stopped the explanation and glanced one by one the demons around him. Smiling satisfied, when none of them raised their hands.

"Good, now I will divide the team. Details of the plan will be explained after the team is formed." Clearly again, before continuing the division of the team.

"Shikamaru." Tsunade called the pineapple-haired young man.

Shikamaru sighed, before walking toward the leader lazily.

"What about the mission I gave? Did you get anything?" Tsunade immediately asked the point.

Shikamaru nodded lazily and answered. "More or less, there is something I want to be sure of right away ..."

"Tsunade, wouldn't it be faster if we approached the child?" Jiraiya spoke up, walking over to them.

"Hmm, about that ..." Tsunade muttered while thinking. "Shikamaru, I want you to do something ..."

Naruto moves his body very carefully. Walk down the Palace building without sound. The two sapphires glanced around him with alarm, making sure there wasn't anything as small as being missed from his vision. After arriving at one of the corridors he came out of his hiding place and walked towards the corridor casually, as if he really was there from before. The corridor connects the Palace building with the Great Hall, the place where an ordinary party is held. Several servants and knights were seen passing through the place. The servants are seen busy arranging the place as perfect as possible for the festival celebration party that will be held later tonight.

Naruto nodded to one of the guards there, being as normal as possible as if he was indeed on duty at that place. After finishing observing the hall, Naruto immediately moved away, towards another corridor. He walked casually, occasionally greeting the guards and other servants who were there. The Konoha Festival started this morning. The knights have been divided into tasks and scattered to their respective positions. All that was left in the palace was only the servants and guards who were busy preparing the Palace for the evening celebration.Naruto used the opportunity to investigate the place he was going to attack tonight.

He walked past another corridor, until finally he was in the Main Palace. But only a few minutes he was there, someone found him.

"Naruto-kun."

Shit.

Naruto turned to see whoever greeted him just now. "Sai." Call him with a grin.

"What are you doing here?" Sai asked, walking toward him. A typical flat smile was clearly stuck on his face.

"I have the duty to guard here. How about you?" he said with a grin, being as normal as possible.

"Oh, really? My job is also to protect this place. Isn't this a good coincidence? I'm very happy to meet you Naruto-kun." Sai replied smiling.

"Oh, b-so ..." he said awkwardly, scratching the back of his non-itchy head.

'Damn, I must leave immediately ...'

"Naruto-kun, how are you? Are you okay? I heard about the incident during the practice match. I'm a little worried if something happens to you." Said Sai, still smiling.

"Haha, of course I'm fine! Actually the incident really made me panic! My tail suddenly became four!" Naruto said fussyly.

"Really? I think that's a really amazing thing, Naruto-kun. It's rare for demons to have many tails now."

Wait, wait, is this just his feeling, or is Sai really walking closer to him?

"Ehehe thank you. But actually I still don't know how to control it," Naruto replied, rubbing the neck of his neck timidly. Even though he realized that Sai was moving toward him, he decided not to move, pretending not to be aware of what the black-haired young man wanted to do.

The smile on Sai's lips widened when he heard Naruto's answer. "Do you want me to teach you?" he said, taking the opportunity, one of his hands reaching out to touch one of Naruto's cheeks.

Sasuke sighed heavily. Finally he managed to escape from the celebration ceremony which was always done to open the Festival every morning. He walked through the corridor to the main palace to rest. His body feels very tired. Even though it was only a few hours he attended the celebration ceremony. His hand unconsciously rubbed his stomach, it seemed his energy was drained by something he was carrying.

Sasuke cursed irritably when he realized what he was thinking. Shit. Even though he tried to forget it, his body always reminded him like this.Even his hand became a habit of feeling it by touching his stomach like that. He sighed again.

One of the servants approached him when called. Sasuke took off the fancy robe he was wearing, and handed it to the waiter. The waiter nodded respectfully and immediately went to keep the robe in its original place. Without wasting time, Sasuke rushed to the palace where he was resting. It feels like he wants to lie down now.

His footsteps stopped when he caught something not far from the corridor where he was. The two onices widened, before one second then the black bead turned into a very sharp and cold delikan. Immediately, he stepped towards the scene he was seeing.

"Dobe."

Naruto swallowed hard when he heard an unfamiliar voice that now sounded so cold. Immediately he stepped away from Sai who was still trying to approach him. Not yet had time to say anything, his hand had been pulled hard by the owner of the voice.

"T-wait for Sasu-" Naruto swallowed his own sentence when the two oniks stared at him sharply.

Sasuke glared fiercely at Sai, then immediately dragged Naruto away from the place, leaving Sai there. They stopped at a courtyard of the Palace, a place that was quite quiet and calm from other people's disturbances. Sasuke folded his hands in front of his chest, then glared sharply at Naruto.

"What are you doing with Sai?" the sentence came out so sharply.

Naruto swallowed hard. 'Damn it. Just then getting away from the tiger now goes into the nest of wolves. '

"Shouldn't you be taking part in a celebration in the Capital?" Naruto asked, changing the subject.

"I left there. So what were you doing just now?"

Damn.

"Why?" Naruto asked, tilting his head. "Are you jealous of him, Sasuke?" he asked again with a grin. He still remembered how Sasuke had reacted before when something similar had happened. But it seems like this time he missteps, instead of being embarrassed like that.Sasuke instead ... fell silent. His head looked down, as if he wanted to hide.

"Hey, Sasu-

"... nar ..." a murmur was heard.

"Huh?"

"... that's ... right ..." he muttered again. Suddenly, Sasuke looked up, looked at Naruto seriously, but there was a flash of anger and resentment behind the black sky. "Right. I'm jealous! I like you, Dobe. Haven't I ever said that ?!"

His sapphire eyes widened, staring in surprise at the two oniks before him.

"Can't you-" understand my feelings ...

Sasuke bit his lip, preventing him from saying any longer. Shit. Now he really hates his body. His emotions became unstable because of his body condition, easily provoked like this. Suddenly he felt like crying. You damn hormone. He shouldn't be this weak.

"Don't you ... like me?" Sasuke finally asked.

Naruto widened at that. He opened his mouth but returned to close it tightly.

"I like you, Dobe!" Sasuke said loudly, as if he wanted to implant that sentence on the dominant one.

Harsh.

"I like you..."

The sentence rang again in his head. Sasuke's face now staring at him turned into a shadow of Sasuke's face when he said his feelings at that time. The oniks that looked at him now were still the same as they were at that time, filled with so much seriousness in them.

"Can't you reply to my feelings? That's why you didn't answer me at that time ?!" Sasuke's voice revived him to reality.

"Why are you silent, dobe!" Sasuke demanded angrily.

I...

Naruto opened his mouth, but again he closed it again.

What...

What should he say now ...

"No ..." the voice sounded trembling.

Naruto clenched his hands tightly. The two sapphires faded, turning flat.

"You don't like me, Sasuke."

His knuckles turned white, holding back his feelings now.

"You only like my strength. Nothing more." Naruto ended his sentence coldly, staring without the expression of the two oniks widening when he heard his words.

Sasuke's lips were proud not to believe what he had just heard. He closed his lips tightly and groaned irritably. Suddenly, he moved his body forward, pulled Naruto's jacket collar and brought his face closer, before ...

... his lips touched Naruto's lips ...

Naruto widened in shock, the two sapphires widened in surprise. His body could not move, even as he could feel Sasuke's moving lips deepen their touch slightly. The kiss is not the hot fondling they usually do. Only a touch between lips. Sasuke closed his eyes tightly, his coarse moving lips, now softened, softened the touch with feeling, as if he wanted to convey his whole heart through that touch. The oxygen demand finally released the touch of the lips. Sasuke let go of the grip of his hand, then looked at the two sapphires with feeling.

"I like you. I like you very much. Naruto, your face, your hair, your eyes, your smile, your character, your coldness, your ignorance, even the pretense you used to do. I like everything, everything in you. Not your strength, Dobe. Remember that. I won't forgive you if you underestimate my feelings. " He said seriously.

Sasuke kept his body away from Naruto and smiled confidently. "I don't care if you don't like me now. I'm not going to give up, Dobe. I'll make you like me, no, even kneel before me. Remember that, Baka." With that sentence Sasuke turned around, went away leaving Naruto, still frozen still, the two sapphires still wide open.

After a few seconds, Naruto turned, following where Sasuke was going, staring at the figure until it completely vanished from his sight. One of his hands raised, touching his lips with the back of his hand. He also gritted his teeth tightly, and-

"Damn it!" it was upset. If someone really pays attention to him now, he will see a red hue that slightly sticks to the cheek.

A loud voice made him turn around. He narrowed his eyes in the direction of the voice, immediately putting aside all of his chaotic thoughts."Get out of there." He said sharply to anyone who was hiding behind a tree.

After a while, whoever was finally came out. Naruto was a little surprised when he saw someone he didn't think he had at all.

"Haah ... troublesome ..." someone sighed.

"Shikamaru." Calling Naruto narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Shikamaru scratched his non-itchy head, feeling very awkward with his current position, not only had he been caught eavesdropping but also eavesdropping on something he didn't seem to know.

"What do you want?" Naruto asked without further ado.

Shikamaru sighed again, before finally answering. "Look, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Naruto raised his eyebrows.

Shikamaru sighed again before continuing. "I really don't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I won't even tell anyone about ... uh ... your relationship with ... Sasuke ..." he explained awkwardly.

"Look, what is clear is that I don't care about that. There's something I want to talk about with you. So I followed you here." Said Shikamaru affirming.

"You followed me." Naruto's birthday quipped.

"Uh, about that, it's really troublesome ..." Shikamaru sighed again. "Look, I'm sorry if this bothers you, but there is something very important that I must talk to you now."

"Then just talk." Naruto answered lightly, a little suspicious about Shikamaru's unusual attitude.

"Not here, Naruto. You have to come with me." Shikamaru said, glancing at his surroundings.

"Why? Does something have to be discussed elsewhere?" Naruto raised his eyebrows.

"That's ... oh, come on ... this is very troublesome. I want to finish it soon. There are other people who also want to meet you. This is just a conversation, I promise." Shikamaru said very lazily, or rather didn't want to feel bothered.

Naruto narrowed his eyes, staring probingly at the pineapple-haired young man, before finally sighing. "Fine."

"You're sure this is just a conversation, it's far away." Naruto's sarcasm.

"Troublesome ... be patient a little. This talk is really important. I'm sure you also don't want anyone else to hear it." Shikamaru's light was a little out of place for his friend who could not quietly grab him while traveling.

"What are we going to talk about?" Naruto's sneer inflated his cheeks irritably.

"I told you to have to wait a little more ..." Shikamaru sighed, cursing his fate to do this.

They walked through the capital, passing a small road until it ended in a hallway. Naruto raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Shikamaru bring him into the bar.

"Why is it so lonely?" he asked, glancing through the room.

After locking the door tightly, Shikamaru immediately walked into the room again, leading the blond young man to the basement.

Naruto's suspicion began to be proven when he saw Shikamaru opening a secret door, then told him to enter the hallway inside. They walked for a few minutes, until they ended at a door. Shikamaru knocked on the door several times to tell someone inside before opening it.

Naruto looked in surprise at the quite large underground room. His gaze stopped at the center of the room, where a table was located, with someone sitting behind the table. But it wasn't someone who made him stop walking. It wasn't the person who stunned him when he saw it.

"Shikamaru, you finally came too." Tsunade nodded, satisfied seeing the arrival of the two of them. He glanced at the blond youth who was still stopped in the middle of the room. "Naruto." he called the young man.

Naruto turned around, heavily removing his gaze at the person who had stunned him.

"Welcome to our hiding place." Said Tsunade welcomed him.

"Hideaway? What are you doing here?" he replied lightly glancing at the entire room.

Tsunade glanced at Shikamaru then to his friend who was standing beside him. They nodded in agreement.

"The hiding place of the rebels who will fight Danzo."

That sentence succeeded in making Naruto stop his steps around the room. He turned to someone who had just spoken.

"Naruto, don't you remember me?" Jiraiya asked him.

Naruto fell silent, then walked over to them. "No. Have we met?" he said tilting his head. He turned to Tsunade and said again.

"Rebels? Are you serious?" he asked with fear. "I could have reported you to the King about this."

"You won't do it." Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

"Who said? I could have just killed you by reporting to the King." He said disparagingly. "Then what is the purpose of you telling me to come here? Don't say you want to make me join?"

Tsunade clenched her fists, feeling startled at the behavior of the blond youth. This is totally out of plan. Shouldn't the child in front of him be the child they have been looking for for years?

A hand touched his shoulder slowly. He turned to Jiraiya, sending an uncomprehending expression to his friend.

'Leave it to me.' that is the signal given by the soft squeeze of the hand that touches his shoulder. Tsunade nodded in understanding.

Jiraiya stepped forward, looked at the blond young man seriously. "Naruto, do you want to hear a story?" he asked suddenly.

Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows confused at the sudden change, but decided not to answer.

"Once upon a time, many years ago, there lived a high-class fox power clan. The clans were quite ancient and large clans. They lived in a village called Uzushio. Their clans were the only clans that had nine tails genetically All babies born to their clan will definitely have nine tails that have been passed down from generation to generation by their parents, and there are even rumors that the clan was a clan that had the greatest strength in history, but it did not last long, a disaster struck the clan. One by one they were destroyed because of an illness. " Jiraya paused for a moment then glanced at Naruto, seeing the reaction the blonde boy was showing when he heard this story.

Naruto just acted normally, didn't make a sound, not immediately telling Jiraiya to continue the story.

"Before the clan was totally destroyed, a girl managed to get out of the village. The whole family told her to leave the village and stay alive. The girl traveled, until she ended up in Konoha. The girl decided to change the name of her clan so that no one After a while, the girl met a man, they fell in love with each other and became a pair of mate, unknown to the girl, if he was one of the crown prince candidates for the Konoha Kingdom, until finally when he was chosen as the successor the throne, the girl already had their offspring, and the girl finally understood when she found out who she really was, and decided to change the name of her clan to her lover's clan, a year later he became king, and the girl who gave birth to their son became queen. For years their lives were very happy, until one day a disaster struck the Konoha Kingdom The King and Queen died in the disaster, leaving his now lost son somewhere. Not only that, for a reason, the king and queen became scapegoats for the disaster that befell their kingdom. "

"What do you really want to say?" interrupted Naruto, putting on a confused expression, although in his heart he felt panic when he caught who exactly was being told by Jiraiya.

Jiraiya looked at him for a moment. But instead of answering, he just continued the story. "Until the end of the story, the people still consider the King and the Queen a traitor, while his son is now considered dead. Even now, no one knows who the girl clan's name is. Only the man who became his lover and some of his friends knew it. Even in the history of the kingdom, the name of the girl clan was the name of her lover's clan. Do you know what the girl clan's name is, Naruto? " he asked again.

Naruto clenched his palm tightly. "Uncle yourself said, if nobody knows. How do I know?" he asked back.

Jiraiya just smiled thinly, before continuing again. "The only nine-tailed fox clan that was destroyed many years ago, only comes from the village of Uzushio. The clan's name is Uzumaki, and the girl's name is Uzumaki Kushina. Where is that man? He is the fourth King of the Konoha kingdom, Namikaze Minato "Their son who is now considered dead is named Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto, and that ... is the blonde boy who is with us right now." He said staring intently at the two sapphires. "Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"

Sasuke clicked irritably, walked quickly to his room. He sighed with relief when he finally caught sight of the door to his room. But he had not had the chance to open the door, a voice called him.

"Sasuke-sama."

Sasuke glared angrily when he found out who was calling him. He folded his hands in front of his chest, and hissed. "What do you want, Sai?"

Sai just smiled flatly, then walked over to the Crown Prince. "Cold as usual, Your Majesty. I feel a little jealous of Naruto who can see you smile."

"Stop being polite. What do you want?" Sasuke hissed increasingly angry.

Still with his flat smile, Sai finally answered. "Danzo-sama wants to meet you, Sasuke-sama."

Sasuke bent his eyebrows, then clicked irritably. "Tch."

Without a word he immediately rushed to the King's room.

"Are you looking for me, Your Majesty?" Sasuke said, bowing respectfully to the king in front of him, both of his legs bent, with one foot as a support when he sat down on his knees.

"Sasuke, I didn't see you during the celebration this morning." Danzo asked from his place on the throne chair.

"Forgive my absence, Your Honor. I feel unwell and decide to return sooner." Sasuke obviously told him.

"Really? Have you felt better now?"

"Thanks to His Majesty, thank you for worrying about me."

"Hmm ..." Danzo only murmured to answer.

"If there's nothing more to talk about, there's something I have to do, Danzo-sama." Said Sasuke asking for leave.

"No, wait, there's something I want to ask." Danzo finally said, making Sasuke bend his eyebrows at once confused and uncomfortable.

"How about your training? I heard since entering the knight academy, you started training with your teammates." Danzo began the conversation.

"Hn. Our training is fine." Sasuke answered briefly.

"Really? What are the names of your two teammates? You never told me."

"Uzumaki Naruto and Sakura Haruno." The answer was brief, although inwardly he began to feel uncomfortable with the topic of their conversation. As he recalled Danzo had never cared too much about small things like this.

"How are they? Can you work well together?"

"Hn, they're pretty good." Sasuke did not want to go at length.

"Hmmm, Sasuke, do you still hate this royal traitor?" Danzo asked again.

Sasuke was a little stunned at the sudden change in topic. "Of course, they have killed the entire royal family. I will do anything to be able to reciprocate." He said sharply.

Danzo grinned at the answer from Sasuke. "Sasuke, what if I say the traitor king's son is still alive?" he asked grinning.

Sasuke turned his eyes, before then his eyes narrowed sharply. "Isn't that clear? I'll kill him." He said sharply. "Does His Majesty know anything about the traitor?" he asked to be interested.

Danzo's grin grew wider. "Right, I know where he is now. That's why I called you here Sasuke."

Sasuke widened in surprise when he heard it. He grinned happily, when he finally had the chance to avenge his family's death. "Who? Is he in this kingdom?"

"Right." Danzo grinned savagely. "He is in this kingdom, and even very close to us, Sasuke."

"Who? Tell me, Danzo-sama! Let me kill him!" he asked, becoming impatient.

Danzo's grin became even more sinister, and the sentence came out of his mouth ...

"Uzumaki Naruto. That is the name of the king's son who betrayed the Kingdom of Konoha."

Harsh.

"Wh-Who ...?" the word slipped from her lips again almost silently, her body froze and the two oniks widened wide.

"Right. That kid, that blonde boy who is your teammate, is Uzumaki Naruto. No, maybe it would be more appropriate to be called Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto. He is the person you have been looking for for years, Sasuke." Danzo said grinning wider.

What...?

That's impossible right ...?

Not. This is not possible. He must have heard it wrong. There's no way Naruto is ...

"Surprised?" Danzo chuckled softly. "I'm sure he said something to you about wanting to kill me. No wonder, considering that his parents were executed in this kingdom."

Not.

Not.

This is not right, right?

This must be just a lie ...

This is not possible...

Naruto is not possible ...

"I know you won't believe it, Sasuke. But I can confirm it. Uzumaki is the name of the kingdom's fourth queen clan, and it's obvious that Naruto is the traitor's son's name, not just a similar name. already killed your family, Sasuke. " Danzo said, increasingly influencing him.

... who killed my family ...

Sasuke closed his lips tightly, staring blankly at the King who was talking to him.

... he was the traitor's son who killed your family, Sasuke.

Naruto is ...

Not.

His teeth are crunching hard.

This is not possible.

His hands were tightly clenched.

This must be a lie.

Naruto is not possible ...

"He lied to you Sasuke. He infiltrated here to kill me, even using you by hiding his identity."

use it ...?

Since the beginning...

Naruto has never told his true identity ...

But...

"He lied to you Sasuke ..."

Is it true...

Is that true what happened ...

For Naruto ...

If he is ...

Sasuke bit his lips hard. His hands were tightly clenched, and his oniks looked blankly ahead.

"He tricked you, Sasuke."

Deceived ...

Has he been fooled ...?

He has been lied to by Naruto ...

Naruto already ...

"You don't like me, Sasuke."

"You only like my strength. Nothing more."

Ah ... right ...

Maybe it's true ...

Naruto doesn't even like it ...

Naruto never once liked it ...

She does not...

His eyes became hot, his eyes began to glaze over.

"Sasuke." Danzo called him.

"You must be very angry now. I can understand. The traitor is just a traitor to Sasuke. He deserves punishment." He said slyly grin.

Punishment...?

"We must give the traitor a punishment, Sasuke. Don't you want to reciprocate?" Danzo's grin grew wider.

"I know he will immediately attack me. Do you know anything about this, Sasuke? Tell me so I can help you avenge this kingdom, Sasuke, revenge your family."

Sasuke looked up, looked blankly at Danzo

"Tell me, Sasuke, what is the traitor planning?"

Right.

Tell him Sasuke.

Naruto has lied to you.

He already used you.

Even he already ...

... make you contain his child ...

The traitor has destroyed your life.

He deserves a worthy reply.

Therefore, what makes you doubt now?

Tell him, Sasuke.

Tell about the traitor's plan.

Hurry up and say it.

Sasuke opened his mouth but returned to close it tightly, his blank vision suddenly became chaotic and panicked.

"... Your body won't betray me. "

The sentence suddenly reminded him.

Why?

Does he feel scared now?

Afraid of the sentence he said?

Not.

Don't be stupid, Sasuke.

Shouldn't you be even more confident now?

He has restrained your body, Sasuke.

Control your body so you don't betray it.

"What are you waiting for, Sasuke. Tell me. I'll help you kill him."

Right.

What are you waiting for?

What makes you doubt?

What are you really worried about Sasuke?

If he really restrains your body, isn't everything getting clearer?

He restrained you so you couldn't betray him ...

So you can't ruin the plan ...

The black sky ball lost its light. Sasuke looked up, staring blankly at anything in front of him. His teeth were pounding hard when he realized how stupid he was. The two oniks became full of revenge. His lips moved to make a sound-

"He will attack during festival night."

-And the two onices widened when he realized that the sentence could be released from his lips ...

to be continued ...
