The hokage huffed angrily as she informed the anbu guards she would need to speak with Kabuto immediately. Tsunade, being the hokage, was allowed in immediately and was lead into a secured room where she could speak with Kabuto in the prison without interruption from any of the other inmates. The medic-nin knew why he was being brought to the secluded room and, just as he expected, the hokage was waiting for him looking very angry. He simply gave her a superior smirk as he was forced to sit down. "Hokage-sama, do you require assistance?" Tsunade glared at the medic-nin.
"I'll be fine." She said through gritted teeth as the guards closed the door behind them. "I knew you'd come crawling back." He said. The hokage didn't make eye contact with him; she knew Kabuto would now be less inclined to tell her anything now. "I know you're not stupid. You must have some idea of the effects your serum has and I want you to enlighten me with everything you know if you would be so kind." This sounded more like a threat than a request. Kabuto smirked. "But I thought I was going to 'rot away in jail for the rest of my miserable life'?"
"Just tell me what the fuck you know!" she shouted angrily, her temper rising. Kabuto stayed silent for a moment and then cleared his throat. "I want to be transferred back to the place I was in before." He said. Tsunade looked at him questioningly. The medic-nin noticed this expression. "Lets just say Orochimaru and I made a few… enemies along the way and it's not pleasant sharing a cell with people who are obviously trying to kill you." He explained. The hokage narrowed her eyes.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. The security is not enough. I've underestimated you again and I'm not about to make the same mistake twice." Kabuto didn't seem phased by this however. "In answer to your first question, yes I do have some idea on what effects may or may not take place..." His grin widened.
"…And how to stop them completely. You see I have had time to think and I remembered something that you would find…interesting." He said. The hokage had to admit, this made her listen intently. The smug bastard had a complete cure for Naruto and it didn't seem like he was giving away the answer any time soon. "Alright. You have your transfer. Now tell me how to heal him."
"Once I'm out of here, I might feel like telling you." He said. The hokage called for the guards to escort them back. She knew this was the only way she could help Naruto. Kabuto just couldn't stop smirking. 'I can't wait to see how Sasuke reacts if my predicted effect ends up working on Naruto. If Orochimaru-sama was here I'm sure he wouldn't want Naruto and Sasuke be in a relationship and, if it works, it will be the perfect way to split them up.'
Naruto had noticed that Sasuke had been acting a little different towards him since he regained his eyesight. The raven didn't seem to be looking him in the face, which Naruto couldn't understand. Just to make his mood better, the Kyuubi was trying to warn him about something. That night Naruto noticed something that Sasuke hadn't done before; he slept with his back to the blonde and stayed completely on the other side of the bed. "You know Sasuke, if you move any further away from me your going to fall out of the bed." The blonde grumbled. Sasuke shifted slightly.
"I'm not moving away." The raven muttered.
'Whoa! That's some serious shit!' Naruto hated it when Kyuubi shouted and nine times out of ten it ended in a headache. 'I don't suppose you could keep it down to a dull roar could you? Much appreciated.'
'Okay, you have to listen to this. I can sense something really bad inside you and its spreading…r-really quickly…are you even listening to me?!...' Kyuubi's voice faded away until Naruto could no longer hear the fox. He had no idea what was happening, but considering it got rid of Kyuubi and he felt fine he decided he wouldn't bother Sasuke about it. 'Not that he seems to care anymore…but I suppose I could be over-reacting. I mean, he could just of had a bad day or something. I would be pretty upset if I thought Sasuke had lost his eyesight.' The blonde shuffled across the bed and snuggled into Sasuke's side. The raven stiffened up a little, but let the blonde do it anyway.
The next morning Sasuke had found he had subconsciously rolled over and grabbed the blonde in his sleep. Usually he wouldn't of minded, in fact he liked having Naruto close, but not when he opens his eyes blearily to see red eyes with black slitted pupil. Sasuke gave a yell and launched himself off the bed. Naruto scrambled across to see what was wrong with Sasuke. "That's a nice welcome, teme!" he said. "What is with you?" Sasuke decided it wouldn't be fair on Naruto if he kept lying about what was really bothering him.
While Sasuke was thinking about that, Naruto was having different thoughts all together. He felt like something was building up inside him, something he had no control over. Little did Sasuke know, sharing his thoughts with Naruto couldn't come at a worse time. "Why did you do it Naruto? Why would you swap your eyes for the demons?" he asked.
"Well, if you didn't notice, I was blind and that was my only choice." He snapped back. "So you're going to go around looking like that? The villagers are already have doubts about you and walking around with those eyes isn't exactly going to settle their doubts!" Sasuke replied.
"I did kill Orochimaru so that should remind them."
"You were going to destroy Konoha, so that should remind them too."
"So today's plan is to have a go at me then?" Naruto hissed. Sasuke untangled himself from the covers and stood up. "Calm down dobe, I was just pointing out there must be a way to get your proper eyes back without you still being blind. If we talk to hoka-" Sasuke was cut off as he was punched by Naruto. He was caught off guard and he fell off the bed again. He stood up and brushed himself down, glaring angrily at Naruto.
"What the hell was that for?" he shouted.
"For calling be dobe. I already told you not to call me that several times." Sasuke noticed there was something wrong with the blonde, but his pride wouldn't let him stop the argument. "There was no need to punch me!" Sasuke snarled.
"Yes there was! You're being an asshole. Just because my eyes are a different colour your going off on one." He said angrily.
"Naruto stop being stupid! I was just saying we can go to the hokage and find another way to heal you eyes." Sasuke got another punch from Naruto and this time the raven didn't waste any time hitting back. "What was that for?" Sasuke asked.
"For calling me stupid." Naruto said. Sasuke frowned; Naruto was defiantly acting different. "There's no need to punch me!" Sasuke replied heatedly. Sasuke decided that perhaps getting Naruto angry wouldn't be the best thing to do right now so he gently put his arm around Naruto and tried to kiss him. The blonde just pushed him off. "Don't you dare try that! Tell me why you're so obsessed about my eyes." Sasuke looked away. "See! Even now you're not looking at me! Are they that bad?" Naruto shouted. Sasuke didn't reply and this made Naruto get even angrier. "Fucking look at me when I'm talking teme!" Naruto insult made Sasuke angry and all thoughts of trying to not argue went out the window. "I don't want to look at you! Not with those eyes…its just not you." Sasuke braced himself for Naruto's pained answer. He knew what he had said would probably really upset the blonde.
That wasn't how Naruto reacted however. The blonde felt another uncontrollable build up inside him and he saw red. "You…don't want to look at me?" Sasuke frowned; the blonde seemed almost calm. However Naruto's rational mood ended quite abruptly. "Well don't fucking look then bastard!" he screamed. Sasuke recoiled slightly at Naruto's outburst. "I can't believe you! Saying you love me and then coming out with crap like you don't like the way I look!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke was about to tell Naruto that's not what he meant when the blonde hit him again. This time Sasuke was expecting it and he managed to block the punch. "I hate you, Sasuke! I hate you so much!" he yelled. The raven was angry that Naruto tried to hit him again. "Well you're not exactly my favourite person right now, dobe!" Sasuke shouted back.
"I told you not to call me that!" Naruto jumped on Sasuke, knocking them both on the floor. They scrambled around, Sasuke trying to get Naruto off him. "Fighting won't get us anywhere do- Naruto!" Sasuke said quickly. The blonde didn't seem to be listening as he tried to punch Sasuke. The raven grabbed Naruto's wrists and pinned them over his head in an attempt to calm him down. "I hate you! I wish you were dead!" the blonde screamed. Sasuke tried to convince himself that Naruto didn't know what he was saying, but it still hurt hearing Naruto say that. "It would have been better if Itachi killed you along with the rest of you stupid uchiha's!"
Sasuke released Naruto immediately and the cloud of anger he was feeling suddenly lifted. 'About time! What the hell was that?' Kyuubi asked. "Get. Out." Sasuke hissed dangerously, picking up Naruto's clothes and shoving them at the blonde. "S-Sasuke, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean-"
"Get the fuck out of my room, get dressed then get out of my house!" Naruto was shoved out before he could say anything else. He was about to open the door when Kyuubi stopped him. 'Don't open the door.' Came kyuubi's stern reply. Naruto pulled his clothes on and hesitated slightly as he turned away from Sasuke's room. He felt twice as guilty as he could have sworn he heard a muffled crying from Sasuke's room.
