Chapter 8 : Two Heroes


.

.

.

Day two with the teme, Naruto mumbled to himself as he polished his badge and put it on his pockets. He decided not to tell anyone yet about his feelings to the raven. The blonde needed to make himself sure first.

He took his gun and handcuffs, and placed it on the sides of his legs. It was the raven's turn to drive today. Naruto grabbed some some sandwiches that he made just ten minutes ago and ate it. He glanced at the other leftover slice of sandwich. He thought about it for a while, and grabbed a tomato and knife. The blonde sliced the tomato and put some of it inside the bread. He put lettuce, too. Naruto blushed a bit. He hoped the teme liked it. He knew that the man had this weird love for tomatoes. He sighed to himself. Well, he was just repaying the teme's donuts yesterday.

Naruto packed his stuff and took off to the police headquarters.

The two sat awkwardly inside the police cruiser. They parked near the city's bank to check the traffic there. So far, no one had violated any traffic rule. Sasuke turned on the radio and sat silently. The blonde was nervous, as this was super awkward. He cleared his throat to capture the raven's attention.

"Um, Sasuke," said Naruto as he gave the man a plastic bag. "Here. It's for you."

The raven raised his right eyebrow and accepted the gift.

"Heh, y'know, as a thank you gift," explained the tanned man nervously. "Thanks."

"Hn. Thanks, dobe," answered the Uchiha with a flat expression.

They sat in silence again as they listened to the indie song playing. Naruto recognises the soloist's voice.

"Is this Green Day's new song?" asked the blonde.

"Hn. I suppose."

"Sweet!" grinned Naruto as the man mimicked a rocker playing a guitar. Sasuke just ignored Naruto's action, but he smiled faintly.

"I wanna be a celebrity martyr! The leading man in my own private drama, Who-oh!" Naruto sang along to the lyrics.

Sasuke just smiled at Naruto and hummed along to the song. They shared the same taste in music, after all. The blonde obnoxiously sang loudly in the car. The song stopped playing, and the radio DJ started talking about a robbery happening in Paris. Sasuke switched it off and picked up Naruto's sandwich. He ate it.

"It's nice," said the pale man.

"Heh," Naruto replied.

.

.

After the Uchiha finished his light meal, a sudden alarm blared from the bank. The two officers stared at each other.

"What was that?" asked the raven.

Naruto gritted his teeth. "Shit. Alarm from the bank, what is hap—"

Before the blonde could finish his question, the cops saw three men dressed in black entering a delivery van. They were carrying two big bags each. Those were definitely cash.

"Sasuke, look!" said Naruto. "Go! Go n— Whoa!"

Sasuke already pressed the pedal without Naruto reminding him. The two of them were on pursuit of the ugly white van. Naruto picked up his peaked cap that were thrown to the back seat because of the sudden acceleration. They chase the car around town, luckily there was no traffic whatsoever, and blared on their alarms. Naruto contacted Kurenai back at the HQ to request for back up, as Sasuke focused on avoiding other civilian's cars.

.

They were approaching the highway that was leading to Suna as the van crashed through the gates. Thankfully those were automated gates, so no one got hurt. But the debris were flying everywhere, some of it were crashing in front of them

"Shit," the raven cursed. He shifted the gears and swayed the steering wheel. They avoided those debris successfully, thanks to the Uchiha's skill on drifting the cruiser. Naruto was impressed on Sasuke's driving skills. This man was always a prodigy, heh.

Naruto heard several other sirens way behind him and glanced to the mirror. He squinted his eyes and saw three other police cruiser somewhere behind them. Good, at least back ups were coming. The blonde focused his eyes on the white van again.

They chase down the van, this time they were closing the distance. That ugly van was surprisingly fast. They must have added something so it could zoom this quick. Suddenly the top of the van slide open and a man in mask with a sniper riffle on his hands popped out.

"Where the hell did he get that fucking sniper riffle!?"

"Don't ask unnecessary question, idiot! Shoot them!" said Sasuke.

Before Naruto could shoot the van, the man aimed his first shot on the car window.

BANG!

"Fuck!" cursed Sasuke as he swerved the car the the right to avoid the bullets.

Naruto opened the car window and pointed his hand gun on the car's tires. He squinted his eyes as he aimed his shot.

BANG!

He missed.

The raven glared at him. "You fucking idiot!"

"Well, I'm fucking sorry! I'm not that good with guns!"

As Sasuke lost his focus on the van in front of them for a moment, the man aimed once more for the car window.

BANG!

The windshield cracked. The two stare at the bullet that almost shattered the glass. Well, shit. That was close. Thank Kami-sama that the man was a very poor sniper.

"Shoot them again!" yelled the raven.

Naruto sled his arm out of the window and pointed on the van again. Taking a deep breath, he squinted his eyes to focus on his target. He couldn't miss again!

BANG!

But yet he did.

"Fuck!" cursed the cop. "Sorry, Sasuke, I—"

Sasuke hissed and glared at the blonde man. Then, he took his gun with his left hand and held the steering wheel with his right one.

"What are you doing, teme!?" asked Naruto half yelling.

"Take the wheels, dumbass," said the raven as he opened the car window. Sasuke forced his body to fit the space and slid some of his upper body out. He aimed his handgun to the car wheels, and his other hand tried to grab the roof of the cruiser to regain his balance.

Naruto couldn't do anything else beside complying to the raven's instructions. He leaned to the seat and forced himself to sit there. He stepped on the gas pedal first. How the hell was this going to work!? Sasuke's legs were still there. After a while of adjusting the awkward position, he placed Sasuke's legs and feet on to his laps. The raven grunted and just agreed to the latter. Sasuke aimed his gun and shot two times.

BANG! BANG!

He successfully shot two of the wheels, as the van swerved uncontrollably. But their sniper managed to land a shot right in front of their cruiser.

"Fuck, no!" screamed Naruto as he swerved to the right to avoid the bullet. This caused the raven to lost his balance, some of his upper body was sliding back into the car. Naruto acted quick and grabbed the man's lower body with his right arm. The van was still stubbornly sliding across the highway in top speed, refusing to stop. Another man popped out of the side window and tried to shoot them. Naruto spun the wheels to the left to avoid that one. The sudden turn made his face stuck to.. Sasuke's crotch.

"GET YOUR FACE OUT OF MY CROTCH!" screamed the raven in annoyance.

"IT WAS A FREAKING ACCIDENT!" Naruto yelled back in defence as he moved his face away from the raven's body.

Sasuke tried to focus on the van again, and aimed his shot.

BANG! BANG!

Yeah! The raven successfully shot all of their tires. The van swerved to the side to the road and crashed. Naruto hit the breaks to slow down the car, following the crashing van's speed. Sasuke slowly sled his body back to the car, and he sat on Naruto's lap. The two was still to preoccupied at the sight of the crashing van to notice their well, rather intimate position. After they completely stopped in front of the vehicle, Naruto spoke up.

"Um, Sasuke," he began. "Can you, um, get out of the car?"

Sasuke snapped his head in realisation of their position. Both men were blushing, and Sasuke quickly opened the car door and exit it. Naruto followed Sasuke, as the man was already in front of the van, checking the damage. Naruto called the headquarters for more back up. Not a minute later, other police cruisers were approaching. They handcuffed all the criminals inside the van and brought them back to the HQ.

.

.

"Yes, sure. Yes, all three of them were back at the headquarters. Yes, we secured the cash," said Kurenai while she held her phone close to her right ear. She smiled to the reply she got. "You can thank two of your men, Kakashi," said Kurenai as she ended the call. She looked at the scene in front of her. The van was upside down, and there were three more police cruiser securing the scene. Kurenai smiled to herself in pride. Well, she guessed the boys proved themselves worthy then.


.

"Naruto! That was amazing!" said Kiba while he widened his eyes.

"Haha! I know, right!? We totally killed it!"

Sasuke huffed to the blonde's comment. "Idiot. Your shot barely hit a thing."

Blushing in embarrassment, Naruto playfully punched the raven. "Shut up, asshole!" Shikamaru, who was sitting across the three of them, smirked to the interaction. Choji was seating next to him, eating a dozen donuts all by himself.

The five of them were sitting down at the cafeteria for a snack in the evening. They were having a quick coffee while Naruto and Sasuke exchanged stories of the robbery. Everybody applauded the duo's effort on catching the criminals. It was covered on the news as well, a helicopter actually followed their action. This two new officers really made the headline of the day.

.

.

Suddenly, Sakura and Ino entered the cafeteria as they were talking to each other. Ino called their names and waved at them, but oddly, Sakura stood still as a rock. Seeing Sakura's weird action like that, Naruto stood up from his seat to approach her. He hadn't seen her in a while.

"Sakura-chan, what's wro—"

Sakura bolted from the door and ran somewhere else. Naruto was about to chase her, but Ino stopped his action.

"Ino! What was that for?"

"Psstt, Naruto don't talk too loud!" answered the long haired blonde. She tied her long hair into a ponytail. "She needs to sort things out," said Ino while she dragged Naruto by the arm to get back to his seat.

"But, Ino! I—"

The blonde girl took out something out from her pocket and wiggled it in front of Naruto's eyes.

"Are those coupons for Ichiraku Ramen!?"

"You bet it is!" winked the girl as she sat next to Choji. "Just be quiet and be a good boy, if you want this of course."

Naruto nodded his head furiously. Kiba thought that the blonde man looked like his dog at home, Akamaru. Sasuke and Shikamaru just ignored to commotion and drank their coffees while Choji kept gobbling his donuts.

A man with black hair suddenly approached their table. "Are you two.. Uchiha and Uzumaki?"

"Yeah! What is it?" said Naruto. Sasuke just stare at the man, waiting for the next sentence.

"Inspector Hatake is waiting for you at his office."

Naruto and Sasuke glanced to each other for a while and nodded. The rest waved their goodbyes to the two and continued talking.

The duo walked to the elevator in awkward silence and pressed the button to go up.

.

"Come in!" said the voice inside after Naruto knocked at the door. The two of them stepped inside the room and stared at the silver-haired man that was sitting casually on his desk. He was reading the porno book, as usual. Oh well.

"Is there something wrong, sir?" asked the blonde, breaking the silence.

The man closed his book and eyed them carefully. He took a deep breath and asked the two to take a seat. The duo sat at the chair and patiently waited for the next cue.

The Inspector brushed his spiky hair and stared at them. "First of all, I am very sorry about this."

Naruto shifted in his chair. A bad news? Oh shit.

The man's expression was dead serious now. "I want you to leave the Traffic Division."

Naruto stood up abruptly and started his rampage. "WHAT!? But, we did what he had to do! We-" he stopped talking as Sasuke pulled him down.

"Shut it, idiot. He's not done yet," said the raven in a soft timbre.

Naruto gulped and sat back down. He hoped the raven was telling the truth.

"Sasuke was always the intelligent one, eh?" smirked Kakashi. "and Naruto.. You were known as not so bright, but your insticts were good. Anyway! Yes, I did asked you two to leave your jobs at the Traffic Division," said the man. "...And join me in the Homicide Division."

Sasuke smirked at that statement, while Naruto was already dancing around the room.

"Oh yeah, baby! Yeah yeah yeah!"

The raven shook his head again and slapped his forehead at his partner's stupidity.

Kakashi smiled at them. "So, see you at ten tomorrow?"

"Hell yeah! Thanks, Inspector!" said Naruto as he shook the man's hand hard. Afterwards, the two exited the room in a good mood.

Naruto grinned at Sasuke. "Oh snaaaappp this is our lucky day!"

Sasuke smiled sweetly at him without the blonde realising it as they go to the first level together.


.

.

Some action right there! Do you like it? And.. what's wrong with Sakura? Naruto and Sasuke are getting closer as well!

The two was invited to join the Homicide Division! Well, it was kinda the 'fancy' division in the headquarters anyways. Great job, you two!

I guess it will be a while until I update a new chapter because I am currently quite busy. I'll try my best to update as soon as I can!
