"Thanks Naruto, hope this time, the ass won't ruin his last chance." she smiled kindly at him, earning a grin in return.
"He better not, or else; he'll be die incomplete."
Both laughed; happy to know that soon, both will have their mates.
Unbeknown to both females, crimson eyes stared at them- watching the blond's eyes and that smile that he haven't seen in years.
'Let the games begin,'
THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO
All my loyal readers, and for the patience, and love for my poorly work,
Thank You
Chapter Fifteen — Shadows
-SasuNaru-
Red eyes stare at the girls, smiling, squealing like fan-girls - fuckin annoying.
'So mom, you're giving him a chance to woo you . . .'
Getting tired of the idiotic scene in front of him, he came out of his hide out, glaring at his mother.
Naruto's smile faded away, sensing a killer aura behind him- he closed his eyes- ready to deal with his son.
Karin shivered, 'Geez, Izuna has the same dark aura that Sasuke had when he was pissed,' smiling softly, hoping to calm Izuna down, she turned and froze seeing Izuna red eyes' staring at Naruto.
"Rin, could you leave us alone please," jumping at the sound of Naruto's voice, she gulped, nodding her head; leaving them alone unable to help her friend.
Izuna's chakra was out of control; young and powerful, izuna still had problems controlling his chakra which caused the walls to crack easily.
"WHY? ARE YOU FUCKIN INSANE?!"
Blind by his anger, he let out his frustration towards the man who had raised him. In Izuna's eyes, Uchiha Sasuke was his nemesis and he's not going to give in and let that man come back without a fight.
Naruto opened his eyes, blue eyes gone-replaced with red cat-like eyes,
'Kit, he's your son remember . . . he's just pissed that you gave the Uchiha a chance, calm down,'
"TALK TO ME MOTHER! WHY DID YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE!"
It was enough, Izuna charged at Naruto, full power, ready to knock some sense into his mother, or died trying.
'NOW KIT!'
Blocking the powerful hit coming at his direction, Naruto grabbed Izuna, and teleported both into the training field close to their home, aware that this will take time and space.
-SasuNaru-
'This chakra? Naruto's' Sasuke thought, it was like nothing he had felt.
'Who could it be?'
"Shizune, call Kakashi and Yamato, tell them to keep an eye on those two."
"Hai,"
"Sakura!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama," she bowed at her Sensei.
"I want you to go and observe the fight, Izuna could be in trouble and by the chakra I'm feeling, Naruto forgot that's his son. Stay with them and intervene if it's necessary."
"Hai."
'I guess Izuna-chan found out about Sasuke-kun,' She ran towards the battlefield increasing her speed, praying that both were okay.
She gasped, staring at the field,
'Naruto,'
-SasuNaru-
Raw chakra protected Izuna's body from his mother's powerful attacks, skillfully avoiding them, while thinking of a plan to take down his mother.
'STOP IT NARUTO!'
'NO! HE NEEDS THIS, I WON'T HURT HIM- HE NEEDS TO LET HIS ANGER OUT ON ME!'
'BOTH OF YOU WILL HURT EACH OTHER BADLY, YOU'RE USING MY CHAKRA- AND YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT HE CAN ACTIVATE MY POWER AND THEN, YOU'LL BE IN TROUBLE!'
'Well, I guess I have to add more power . . .'
'NO!'
Naruto concentrate, sage mode and Kyuubi's chakra- equal to a total destruction, determent of ending this fight with Izuna.
'Damn, he's using his full power; he's not playing games anymore.' Izuna took some steps back, thinking- hoping that something useful might come into his mind.
'What do I do- god- think-THINK IZUNA!' crimson eyes' stared at his mother with terror, paralyzed- unable to think or ran away, his anger long gone, replace with fear.
'NARUTO! STOP IT, H-HE CAN'T MOVE, STOP THIS FIGHT NOW!'
"IZUNA WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? FIGHT! YOU START THIS, NOW NEED TO END IT LIKE A TRUE NINJA! C'MON IZUNA!"
Smirking, Naruto took some steps forward, while Izuna stood there, eyes wide and dull.
Closing his eyes, revealing his normal eye color- he smirked, and launched at his son without a thought or remorse.
Izuna's yes widened, his Sharingan helped to capture every movement but, even with his Sharingan- his mother was fast, faster then anyone he had fought.
Ready to take the strong blow, he closed his eyes.
But nothing happened; he opened his eyes to see his aunt Sakura, Kakashi-sensei, Yamato-sensei and even grandma Tsunade, barely holding Naruto, enough for him to move far away from them.
"NARUTO CALM DOWM! SAKURA TAKE IZUNA AWAY!" Tsunade yelled, still not believing what she had witness; she knew Naruto current level but never had seen it in action.
Kakashi and Yamato added more chakra, holding Naruto tight- even after training with Naruto; both couldn't keep up with the Naruto's brutal power.
Sakura carried Izuna to the other side, checking for injuries- sighing in relief when she found none.
"Izuna, you need to calm down and wait here," she smiled softly and then joined the others.
'Well, now you did what you thought it was right . . . control Naruto.'
'Yes, I know.'
"That's enough Naruto; you scare him to death- now calm down." Sakura yelled, hands on her hips.
Blues eyes turned into normal shape, his chakra disappeared- getting back his body in seconds.
Cracking some bones, stretching- he turned to them and smiled,
"You didn't have to intervene with our fight, I had it under control." he calmly said, looking for Izuna and found him sitting down, staring at him, scared.
"WHAT HELL? ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Sakura yelled, ready to start another fight 'Idiot!'
Kakashi stopped Sakura and said, "Naruto, you were about to hit Izuna, we had to stop you."
"Kakashi, you, should know better than anyone else that- that wasn't my full power, I was just trying to help Izuna to let out his anger on me, not on someone else."
"Well, I think we should leave Naruto and Izuna alone." Yamato said taking away a fuming Kunoichi, followed by a lazy ass sensei.
"Talk to him, don't scare him." Tsunade said before leaving the scene ready to deal with more paper work.
"Hai," Naruto smiled, walking to Izuna, now ready to talk with his son.
"Izu, are you okay?"
'DUH! HE'S NOT. YOU SCARE HIM!'
'Kyuu, calm down. . .'
'HOW COULD I, YOU SCARE HIM ENOUGH FOR HIM TURN INTO A ZOMBIE!'
'Just shut up and let me do this okay.'
' '
Izuna looked up, staring at those blue eyes, "Momma,"
Naruto flinched, 'I think I over did it.'
"Yes, baby- I'm sorry but I needed for you to let out everything- now, we can talk."
Izuna's eyes close- he nod but once he opened his eyes, tears poured down his cheeks.
Naruto sighed, and hugged his son.
Izuna had grown-up faster than any child in his generation, his goals were completely different, knowledge was his priority instead of games- getting stronger was one of his top reasons to live, instead of cuddling with his mother when he felt alone or sad.
Izuna pulled away and said, "I'm not as easy as you mother, so tell him that it will cost him more than he thinks."
He walked away; Naruto just smile.
'Well, at least he knows that I still care about him.'
It won't be easy, he knew that, but, he hopes that one day- he'll have his family together.
'Together . . . I hope so,'
-SasuNaru-
-A Week Later-
It was nine am, a beautiful day- a brand new start for both, Sasuke and Naruto.
Naruto was with Sasuke, it became a routine since day one of his temporary house arrest, as they waited for Tsunade's punishment, talking about random things but mostly about Izuna's skills.
Naruto was telling Sasuke everything about Izuna, awed with the information about his son- Sasuke couldn't help to smirk proudly.
His son was an outstanding Uchiha, strong- smart- worthy to be an Uchiha.
Naruto smiled, seeing the smirk on Sasuke's face, knowing what the raven was thinking.
"You better not said what you're clearly thinking to Izuna- he'll be pissed."
"I know."
It hurt to know that your son won't even spare a glance; he should've known that it wouldn't be easy.
In the end, he has to work hard to win his trust and his love.
"Naruto?"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry"
That word alone caused Naruto to looked at Sasuke,
"Please forgive my actions- I- I was trying to deny my feelings for you- and- I ended up doing the opposite; hurt you and tried to kill you. I had these feelings since our first day as Team 7 but I was confused- since I had never experience the feeling of love." he paused and stared at the blond, letting his mask fall- letting his feeling out.
"Sasuke-"
"Let me talk, please,"
"When I found out that you had our baby; it was a mix of feelings- anger, bless, confused- happy- I just didn't know what to do. I looked for you days, months- years looking for you but no luck. Day after day, my curiosity grew more; wanting to know my son, seeing him with you became my dream. I know Mandara wanted both of you, so I had to kill him in order for us to be in peace."
"I'll be honest with you- at first I wanted to kill you- destroy you and izuna- but, deep down I wanted to see you. I fought with my feelings, trying to keep them inside me but I just couldn't do it. I love you, I had always loved you- and I'm ready for any punishment to prove my love and loyalty for you."
Black eyes stared at blue eyes, distracted by the confession; Naruto didn't feel when Sasuke grabbed his hand.
"I want you; give me a chance- to be your other half, the father of our son; your everything. One chance, that's all I'm asking."
"Sasuke- I-I . . ."
Naruto stuttered, feeling like a three year old- unable to say a single word. It wasn't because the confession, it was the way Sasuke had expressed his love- emotions that were rarely seen- especially coming from Sasuke, were now on display just for him.
Besides, he knew what he wanted, but he needed proof that Sasuke was willing to change- and he just got what he was waiting for.
Bright blues full of love looked at Sasuke, with a smile on his face; Naruto leaned forward- and gave Sasuke his answer.
After a long, tender kiss Naruto broke the silence,
"I love you Sasuke, god knows how much I love you- and I'm willing to wait until you're free to be with us. The only thing I'm asking, begging is for you to take things slow with Izuna, he's a kid and he just found out that his father is in the same village as him."
"He needs to know that I want to be part of your life-"
"Sasuke! He's not like we use to be when we were kids- he's a great captain but now, he's a broken ninja that needs time to get everything together; trust me, we should wait and take it slow."
Sasuke looked down, there's was nothing he could do, Naruto was right.
He'll wait until his son was ready.
"Okay."
Naruto smiled, "Now kiss me Uchiha."
-SasuNaru-
-Two Weeks Later-
It's been two rough weeks for Tsunade, critics, gossip, fights and suggestions about Uchiha's future were brought up. The counselor had propose their idea, agreeing Sasuke to stay but with conditions and a proof of his loyalty to the village.
She stared at the paper; she smirked, ready to let the man know his future.
Walking out, away from the elder's office, she ordered to bring Sasuke to her office and waited for him.
After minutes, she was surprised to find Naruto, along with the Anbu's and the captive.
"Naruto, what are you doing here?"
Naruto looked up and said, "I want to be present, is there a problem?"
"No, but just to let you know, I can't change anything; it's been settle, so don't try anything."
"Hai."
Surprise to hear no complains, she proceeded- sealing the room just in case.
"Uchiha Sasuke, The elders and I have come to an agreement which you'll follow if you want to reside in Konoha. If not, you'll die along with your Kekkei Genkai and your file will be destroyed."
Tsunade took a moment, and continued since Sasuke didn't object.
"Uchiha, you'll be inside the village, guard by two anbu's 24/7 for two years with chakra seals and a special seal on your his Sharingan. After the two years you'll do missions, any rank for free, yes, you'll have to figure out a way to fight."
Naruto ready to protest, Tsunade stopped him, and continued,
"I was ready to send you to jail for rape and attempt of murder, but Naruto stopped me, telling me that it won't be necessary since you already got lots of things to suffer. I thought it was a joke, but he was right; your biggest punishment- will be winning Izuna's love and everything you had lost. So, that's enough for you."
Cold black eyes looked at the Hokage, part of him wanted to rip her body apart, the other- was glad that she went easy on him.
Keeping his mouth shut, he looked down and continued to listen.
"The Uchiha property still in process, you'll be able to move to the main house after its finish but I got an apartment for you. I almost forgot, Naruto and Karin are not allowed to see you and the others, no letters, no gifts or pictures- nothing."
"WHAT?!" both Sasuke and Naruto yelled in unison.
"Well, boys please escort them out of my office and please, do what you have been order to do."
"Hai." bowing, they grabbed Sasuke and Naruto, dragging Naruto who begin to scream at Tsunade.
"Dobe, calm down, we knew that this was going to happen, relax."
It was inevitable but he had hope, for them to have more time or at least a visit once a month, 'Damn,'
Sasuke looked at his blond, and smiled, Naruto cursed mumbling words that Sasuke couldn't understand.
"Can I say goodbye to him, privately?" both Anbu looked at each other,
"Don't worry I won't run away," both guards walked away, but not far just in case.
Sasuke smirked, grabbing a clueless blond, pulling him against his body; stealing a kiss from him.
Blue eyes widened but close loosing himself, feeling Sasuke's tongue doing wonders, memorizing Sasuke's flavor; enjoying the kiss until they see each other again.
Sasuke pulled away, smirking at the blonde's state, eyes closed, a smile on his face; breathtaking and exotic sight to see.
Naruto returned to the present, feeling someone staring at him, opening his eyes- he blushed, seeing that it was Sasuke.
"Just wait patiently for me love, don't do anything stupid and don't try to get me out of this- I deserve it, I want this."
"But Sasuke-"
"No. it has to be done, or else I won't be able to live a normal life with you and Izuna. I know it's hard, but be patient love." he smiled, giving Naruto that strength he didn't have at the moment.
With a nod, Naruto kissed Sasuke one last time before the Anbus' took away his lover.
-SasuNaru-
It was a long walk back home, not enough energy to make conversations with friends but still manage to get home in one piece. Ashamed to know that a man could affect him so much, he had forgot that he had a son to take care of, rushing to his room, he sighed, Izuna was asleep.
Closing the door, he headed to the living room, only to find Karin sitting with her eyes close.
Naruto sat beside her, waiting for her to speak.
"He got the same punishment as Sasuke, I think the three of them received the same." she sighed, opening her eyes to looked at her friend.
"How are you?"
"I'm okay- it's just- the thought of not seeing him . . . it's killing me, I just can't sit here and wait- it's not me but, I promise Sasuke that I wouldn't do anything stupid." Karin smiled, she felt the same way, sadly; they couldn't help them.
"Don't worry, we should be happy that the elders didn't kill them or worst." she hugged him, "You need to tell Izuna about Sasuke, but please don't scare him again."
Naruto laughed, "Geez, it was only a little fight."
-SasuNaru-
For the first time in Naruto's lifetime, he was lost, unable to keep going and pick up where he had left of; Sasuke was all he could think about and was driving him crazy.
Izuna was out most of the time, been Anbu Captain require him to be out of town, only seeing Izuna late at nights.
Karin, she felt the same way, most of the time she'll spend her time with Iruka-Sensei at the academy, returning home - directly to bed.
It was understandable, both felt lonely, unable to smile or talk normally without bringing them into the conversation, it was painful.
It become a routine for them, greeting each other, eating separately, leaving the house most of the time; and heading straight to bed and sleep.
It continued for a year, it didn't help that no one even tried to talk things out, been alone was better than pretending to be happy all the time.
After a year with three months, Naruto had enough; he sat down one day and waited for Izuna and Karin.
They couldn't be kept this up, it was pathetic- they were family and before Sasuke and Suigetsu arrive, they were a perfect little family, happy and united.
Karin agreed and apologized for her behavior, admitting that the first months were tough, but after a while- it wasn't healthy for them.
Izuna smiled, extremely happy to have his mom back and his aunty back, he knew those two were the cause but didn't say a word, it was not the time, maybe once he have those two face to face, he'll speak up- but not now.
-Two Years' Later-
'Calm down, think of it as a normal day-AAhhhh I can't!'
Today, after two years, Uchiha Sasuke, his Sasuke was finally getting out- free to be with him and Izuna at last. It took a lot of patience and support from his friends but he made it. It was a long, painful journey but now, he was happy to know that he'll see his lover once again.
He looked at the mirror one last time, making sure he looked good and went to the living room, waiting for Karin.
Karin smiled at him, checking herself for one last time; she gave Naruto a nod- ready to go, grabbing her keys, as both head to see their lovers.
Both ran, smiling, happy that they'll see them at last, no more torture; be able to see them and touch them . . . it was everything they had wish for.
Tsunade was already there with Shizune, waiting for them to arrive.
Tsunade smiled, and nodded to the Anbu, both Naruto and Karin watched as the Anbus' opened the door; Team Hawk came out, clueless, blinking their eyes- getting use to the light once again, but stopped when both saw Naruto and Karin standing there, smiling at them.
It didn't take long for the girls to rush to them, hugging them, crying that at last; they could be happy and live their life with no fears.
Tsunade coughed, once Sasuke started to make-out with Naruto, "Well, behave boys report to my office tomorrow."
"We should go as well," Naruto pulled away and face Karin who was blushing.
Seeing the blush on Karin's face, Naruto asked, "What's wrong Rin?" Karin for some reason got redder as she looked at Naruto, stuttering she answered,
"I-I got an apartment for us . . . I-I didn't know how to tell you until now, I'm sorry Naru-I-I didn't know how - I'm sorry." she looked down, she should've told Naruto about this since the moment she have receive the letter, but she didn't know how to tell her friend that she was ditching him for a guy. Naruto had welcomed her, helped her and gave her his trust when everyone rejected her.
But it was expected and normal.
It shouldn't upset him that Karin got her own place; after all, she needed privacy with her man, just like he needs his time with Sasuke.
"Karin, calm down- it's alright... That's the way it should be. Go now."
He smiled at her, it saddened him that she'll no longer live with him but, it was about time she started to live her life and make new memories.
'But now with Suigetsu,'
Karin nodded and dragged Suigetsu to their new place, eager to show him the town and spend time with him.
"You know, you never told me about your friendship with Karin... It kind of freaks me out,"
Naruto turned facing Sasuke and smile,
"Mmhn, to make it simple- I just told her that I wouldn't hurt her and if she wanted to go- she was free after her body was completely heal. After months, she decided to stay and asked for my help- that's how we started an awesome friendship." he smiled, taking Sasuke's hand, heading to his apartment.
"Hn."
"Yeah, I couldn't believe it either..." he laughed.
Arriving, Naruto looked at Sasuke and leaned, giving him a kiss.
"Hate to break this moment, but does Izuna know that I'll spend the night with you?"
'Damn,'
"He forgot,"
Both looked up, up in the roof, Izuna was standing and he was pissed, staring down at them with his Sharingan.
"Izuna I-"
"Forget it. It's cool- besides I'll be in missions most of the time, doesn't matter to me . . . but,"
He jumped, landing gracefully in front of Sasuke and stared at him; two man that had equal power and strength, if they weren't father and son, it would've been a deadly fight.
"You better not hurt him this time, or I beat the crap out of you and kill you." satisfy to let the other man know how he truly felt, he vanished, leaving a concern blond and a smirking raven.

Author's Note:
Hello, it's been damn, months even a year since I have update any fic . . . I feel awful and scare. .
I'll be honest with you, this is not my favorite chapter, not because of the drama going on, but because of my writing style has decreased. . .
It's bad, compared- well, I'm not a pro, but I use to write better- to my previous work and lack of practice this chap it's fuckin simple . . .
I know, I'm admitting to this, so DON'T FUCK OR COMPLAIN ABOUT MY CHAPTER OR SPELLING!
Yeah, this chapter was tough, to get back into the fic, write and think about everything again, made it harder than it was . . .
Plus, this chapter was old, and I need to check but I think I have chapter 16 already written, but chapter 16 is way better my brain started to think properly . . . lol
So, I'm deeply sorry for this chap . . . it wasn't important anyways, next chapter though, FUCK YEAH, Ohhhhh- forgot something- THE FUCKIN FIGHTING SCENE- : ( forgive me . . . it was crappy . . :P
