Unexpected Fortunes

Naruto should have seen this coming

Naruto should have seen this coming. He should have seen this coming a mile away. All the signs were there that morning, but like the easygoing fellow that Naruto was, he ignored them, thinking nothing of it. Big mistake! Warning bells should have going off that morning when Naruto woke up to a cloudy covered Konoha.

Konoha, cloudy? Such a rare occurrence should have clued the blue-eyed blond that so to speak, the shit was going to hit the fan soon. But alas, as the saying goes, ignorance is a bliss, and this ignorance was happily humming a tune while getting ready for the day. If only he knew what the day had in store for him, he most certainly would have crawled back into bed and be done with it.

Making his way to see the Hokage should have also told Naruto to run for the hills or at least to turn around. The grinning faces, not happy grins but grins that are reserved for when you are a part of some creepy conspiracy, on Izumo and Kotetsu should have keyed him that his dear, sweet Hokage, note the sarcasm, had a not so pleasant mission for him.

However, nobody calls Uzumaki (Namikaze) Naruto a scaredy cat, well except that one time, but emotional baggage comes with that remark and this is not the time or place to discuss it. So, with a great display of courage, though it was more likely sheer stupidity, Naruto walked through the door into the Hokage's office.

He met himself with a creepy smile that should have found its home with Orochimaru, but since Tsunade and the Snake were once teammates, she must have picked some things off of him, hopefully not the pedo tendency.

"Baa-chan….?" Naruto asked nervously. The creepy smile grew wider.

"Naruto, just the shinobi I was looking for. I have a mission for you," she said while throwing him the scroll with the mission details. "Good Luck." He was then promptly thrown out of the office.

Via the window.

Tsunade never did like being called an old hag.

Now a day later, after travelling with minor breaks he finally made it to the small civilian town and up to the place that he had to 'work' at. The target apparently visited the establishment often and he would have to get close to the target and steal the sought after information he had in a sealed scroll, without the target knowing. Though it sounded easy, it wasn't.

To put it simply, the establishment, which the target frequented, was an over-glorified brothel. Sure, it was renown for having the best tea and sake, but it still was a brothel.

Now, usually this wouldn't have been a problem for Naruto. He had the sexy-no-jutsu and after travelling with Jiraiya, the self-proclaimed super pervert, Naruto had picked up seducing techniques here and there. This shouldn't have been a problem.

But it was.

It was a big problem.

Naruto would even say it was a Kyuubified problem.

The brothel so to speak wasn't a normal brothel. It still served men and sometimes women, but the 'staff' did not consist of women. No, it consisted of men.

Naruto was standing in front of an over-glamorized brothel (tea house/bar some would say) that catered to men who wanted not female company, but male company.

Oh joy.

Naruto looked up at the clear blue sky and wondered what god or deity he had pissed off.

"Shit." That basically summed everything up.

Gathering his courage and repeating 'mission' through his head, Naruto entered the establishment.

Through the back of course.

Once through, he was given directions to meet the 'Okaa-san' of the business. She was dressed in a kimono and sat in front of a low table drinking tea. Her jet-black hair was pinned up traditionally and her purple kimono with a black obi fit her well. Her piercing brown eyes pinned his own as he stepped into the room.

"You must be the new kid. How old are you?"

"Eighteen."

"Good. You're a pretty boy and those whiskers give you an exotic look. You'll bring in lots of customers." Naruto just brushed his golden blond hair from his eyes and nodded, though he didn't like getting called a pretty boy. Yes, he was short for a male (only 5'8) and he was slim and lean, but he did not look like a female, no matter what everyone says, especially Kiba. Most importantly, he was not a pretty boy.

After that, he was led into another room where he got changed into a yukata, a white one lined with a type of red bird that Naruto was unfamiliar with and a red obi. Once dressed, Naruto was told to make his way where the other workers waited and talked with each other until they were called out to work.

While making his way to the room, Naruto passed by many rooms, some with customers and some with out. Luck, some would say, was shining on Naruto that night since one of the rooms he passed contained the target just getting seated. His target looked up and caught his eyes. Naruto gave a small smile and lowered his eyes before turning away. As he made his way to the staff room, he could hear the target making a request to the host for him.

Hook, line and sinker.

He was in the staff room for five minutes before getting his task. If luck would stay on Naruto's side, he could be done with the mission tonight and return home. Grabbing the tea tray, he made his way to the designated enclosure and fully opened the shoji doors.

"Sorry to intrude," he said softly, keeping his head down as he made his way in. Setting the tray down on the low table and kneeling as well, Naruto finally let himself look up. His target was not an ugly man, but not a handsome man either. He seemed to be in his thirties with short brown hair and pale green eyes. His stature reminded him of Jiraiya's, though since he was a civilian, he wouldn't be as strong. Going by his leer though, he must be just as perverted as his mentor.

"My name is Kaji," he said while patting the space beside him. Naruto shifted into place and began pouring the tea.

"Welcome Kaji-sama. I hope your stay with us will be pleasurable," he said in a soft voice, hoping that it would appeal to the man. Judging by his leer gaining depth, Naruto would say he liked it.

"Oh, I'm sure it would be most pleasurable," he returned, placing his right arm around Naruto's waist and bringing the blond closer to him. Naruto just about punched the guy for touching him before thoughts of the mission filtered through his head.

Must complete mission. Need scroll. Cannot punch target, must persevere. Can kill Baa-chan later when home.

"What's your name? I haven't seen you here before."

"My name is Ryutaro and this is my first day Kaji-sama."

"First day. Aren't I the lucky one Taro-chan. You don't mind me calling you Taro-chan, do you?" Outwardly, Naruto gave a blush and a small smile though inwardly, he wanted to bash the guy until he was black and blue. Do I look like a vegetable?

"Anything Kaji-sama desires." With that, tea was passed and Naruto idled himself with small talk while suppressing himself from punching the pervert who had lowered his right hand that was resting on Naruto's waist and was now rubbing his thigh. Naruto thought that for his sanity, he should speed things up.

"Does Kaji-sama want some of our sake?" Naruto asked slyly.

"Sake sounds perfect. After a glass, maybe we can move into one of the bedrooms," he answered, giving the thigh he was rubbing a squeeze.

"I would most like that Kaji-sama." Perfect. I just have to get him to the room, drug him, get the scroll, replace it with a fake and get out.

Standing up from his position, Naruto retrieved the tea tray and made his way out of the room, promising 'Kaji-sama' he would be back soon. Walking slowly down the hallway, Naruto passed other rooms, some with their shoji doors open or closed, with customers drinking sake or tea. Some of them had staff members in them as well but some didn't. Handing the tray to one of the workers in the kitchen area, Naruto waited outside the door, at the end of the hall while the guy got his sake tray. Leaning back beside the door, Naruto peered down the hallway, two rooms, one to the right and the other to the left, were the closest to Naruto. If he wanted to he could have peered into both. The left one was empty, but the right was occupied, though he knew that no staff member was with them.

"Why are we here? Why couldn't we go to a place that has tea served by females not males?" A baritone voice spoke out of the room. Naruto couldn't help but smirk. There was at least one other person besides him that wanted out of this place.

"Shut-up Suigetsu. This place has the best tea around and Sasuke-kun gets the best of the best. He wanted tea not women." A woman's voice broke out the grumbling of her male companion. Naruto straightened from his position, his eyes widening in shock.

Sasuke!! No way! Wait! MISSION! Can't worry about this now. If I have time, then I'll kick his ass and drag him back to Konoha.

"When are we going to go," a gravely voice interrupted his two arguing companions.

"Soon, Juugo. Relax for now." Naruto tried to suppress the shiver that the voice gave him. Naruto realized with a jolt that Sasuke's voice had gotten deeper since the last time they had met, which was almost two years ago. The last information they had received about Sasuke was that Madara had convinced him to destroy Konoha, but no other new information had come forth this past year so Naruto thought that Sasuke must have not been that serious about it.

He really wanted to see him, if only for a moment. Taking one step away from the kitchen door, Naruto could clearly see into the room. Sitting right by the open shoji doors was Sasuke. Naruto could see the side profile of him, but for Naruto, it was enough.

The door behind him opened up and a voice broke Naruto out of his gazing.

"Here's the sake Ryutaro."

"Thank-you," Naruto said to the helper, turning to him. He retrieved the tray from the helper and bowed before the helper went back into the kitchen. Turning around to make his way back to his own room, Naruto was met with coal eyes. Sasuke was staring at him from his spot in the room. A bit of panic flooded through Naruto's system before he controlled himself. Turning away from the sight, Naruto made his way down the hallway into the room where his target was. The whole way, he could feel the gaze of Sasuke on his back. He didn't dare turn around to confirm it.

"Sorry for the wait Kaji-sama."

"No problem, Taro-chan."

Naruto settled the tray down and resuming his previous position, much to his horror, before he poured the sake. After some drinks, more for Kaji than Naruto, the pair could be seen in a rather intimate position. Naruto, who was basically in Kaji's lap, tried to suppress the grimace as Kaji basically sucked face with his neck. Kaji had previously found the opening of Naruto's yukata and was now stroking Naruto bare right thigh.

Suddenly, a shiver passed through Naruto, the feeling of someone watching was there before it disappeared. As Naruto sat there contemplating if it was Sasuke, a knock was heard. Kaji stopped his actions with a scowl, tuning toward the intruder.

"Sorry to interrupt, but Ryutaro-san, you have someone that needs to speak with you."

"Can't it wait," Kaji grumbled. The staff member shook his head.

"Don't worry Kaji-sama, I'll be quick. Why don't you go to one of the bedrooms and I'll meet you there when I'm done." Kaji agreed with a perverted grin. After exchanging room numbers, Naruto went off to the room that he was suppose to meet someone and the staff member took Kaji to get settled into the bedroom.

Making his way to the designated room, Naruto came upon a closed shoji door. Opening it up and then closing it behind him, Naruto turned towards the room. Like all other rooms, it had a low table residing in the middle, however one Uchiha Sasuke was sitting at the table drinking tea alone. Naruto let an exasperated sigh at the outcome. Usually it would be him that chased Sasuke, but now Sasuke came to him. Why?

Wait a minute. Didn't Baa-chan always say that she used reverse psychology to trick the council to do her bidding and agree with her? Maybe it works on over-egotistical bastards. Oh this is going to be fun.

Settling down beside the Uchiha, he poured more tea in Sasuke's now empty cup.

"Naruto."

"My name is Ryutaro, how may I serve you," Naruto answered back. Red Sharingan eyes glared at him.

"I know it's you." A sigh passed through his parted lips as Naruto prepared to mess around with the Uchiha.

"Sasuke what do you want. I'm in the middle of an important mission."

"I didn't know missions involved you being a whore and letting men touch you," Sasuke ground out, his grip on his cup tightening.

"It's called being subtle. It's an undercover mission."

"I didn't know you could be subtle, dobe."

Naruto got up from his position making his way to the door.

"Where are you going? You aren't going to whine and ask for me to go back to Konoha?" Turning his head to look at the Uchiha, Naruto gave him a glare.

"I don't have time for your antics; I'm in the middle of a mission." With that said, Naruto opened the shoji door, stepped out of the room and closed it behind him. Making his way to the kitchen, Naruto tried to calm his fast beating heart, which was a result from his encounter from Sasuke. Picking up another sake tray, Naruto made his way upstairs to the bedroom that Kaji was in. Before going in, Naruto dumped the powder that Tsunade gave him into the sake jar. It dissolved on contact, but Naruto gave it a whirl before going in.

"Kaji-sama, sorry to keep you waiting."

Settling the tray and himself down on the ground by the bed, which Kaji rested on, Naruto poured some sake and gave it to Kaji.

"It's all right Taro-chan," Kaji answered drinking the sake. After almost drinking half the jar, Kaji stopped Naruto from pouring more before pulling Naruto up to the bed. Positioning Naruto to lay down on the bed, Kaji loomed over him before loosening his yukata at the top so he could have access to Naruto's chest. Once loosened, he again started attacking Naruto's neck while Naruto lay there waiting for the drugs to kick in.

Looking across the room, Naruto almost screamed when his eyes met Sharingan eyes. Naruto's eyes darted towards the open window and then back at the Uchiha. Twining his arms around Kaji, Naruto made sure he wouldn't move from his position of attacking Naruto's neck so he wouldn't see Sasuke. After a minute of this, with Sasuke glaring at Kaji and Naruto (more Kaji than Naruto), Kaji slumped over Naruto.

"Finally," Naruto mumbled before pushing the man off of him. Getting out of the bed, Naruto made his way to Kaji's bag. Rifling through it, Naruto found the scroll he was looking for. Taking off the bracelet he wore on his right wrist, Naruto dropped a drop of his own blood on it. A poof of smoke later and a scroll lay in the bracelets place. Unrolling it, Naruto came upon a seal and dropping another drop of blood in the middle of the seal produced the exact same copy of the scroll, in outwardly appearance, the insides were blank. Taking the scroll he got from Kaji, he sealed it into the scroll and changed it back to a bracelet before taking the fake scroll and placing it in Kaji's bag. After he was done and still ignoring Sasuke, Naruto picked up the sake tray and made his way to the adjoining bathroom. Dumping it down the drain, Naruto got rid of all evidence of the drugged drink before making his way back into the room. Settling the tray down, Naruto turned towards Kaji.

"Won't he know that you drugged him when he wakes up?" Sasuke asked. From the edge in his voice, Naruto knew he was tired of being ignored and still seething mad. Naruto wondered where the rest of Sasuke's teammates were.

"The drug I gave him will make him think he had the best sex ever." Naruto responded, humouring the Uchiha.

"Hn."

Making his decision, Naruto began to strip Kaji as well as mess up the bed.

"What are you doing?" A sigh parted Naruto's lips as he turned towards the Uchiha.

"If he wakes up clothed, thinking he just had sex, he'll get suspicious." After completing his task, Naruto finally fixed his own yukata before turning to see the time. An hour had passed already since he stepped into the room, so more than enough time had passed. Picking up the empty tray, Naruto made his way to the door.

"Aren't you going to clean yourself up and get rid of that man's smell on you?" Sasuke ground out. Naruto turned towards the Uchiha to see him glaring at Kaji.

Well this is interesting.

"I don't have time. Don't you have people waiting for you Sasuke?" Naruto said before leaving the room. Making his way down to the kitchen, he returned the tray before making his way to Okaa-san's room. Putting on a distraught face, Naruto knocked on the door before entering when he was allowed. Taking one look at Naruto's face, it seemed she understood.

"Didn't like it did you?" She asked. Naruto replied in a negative.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Some can handle it, some can't. Did you at least satisfy Kaji-sama? He is a very important customer."

"Yes, that went fine. He is sleeping now."

"Good. You can change out of those clothes and leave. Here is the money you earned for today. If you ever change your mind, you know where to find us." Naruto took the money before bowing and leaving the room. Making his way to the change room, he pulled off the yukata and took out his bag containing his clothes. Exchanging his yukata for black pants and a blue shirt, civilian clothes, Naruto gathered his stuff and left the brothel. Making his way out of the village, he travelled for a couple of hours into the night before stopping. Deciding that he was far enough away from the village, he settled down for the night and got some shut eye.

--000--

As the morning sun glistened down onto the blond shinobi, Naruto woke up to birds chirping as well as to find the source that woke him up. Sitting up, Naruto turned towards the source and lo and behold, one Uchiha Sasuke stood up in a tree glaring down at him. Naruto couldn't believe it.

I can't believe that reverse psychology crap is working on him. If I knew that this worked, I would have ignored him a long time ago.

"You still haven't taken a bath," the Uchiha drawled out, looking down upon Naruto.

What the hell! Is he still on that? Why pick now all of a sudden to become anal retentive about bathing.

"What does it matter to you," he retorted back to Sasuke. The Uchiha's Sharingan flared to life at that remark.

"I didn't know that you've become such a whore. Tell me, how many men have you slept with," sneered the raven.

"What's it to you," retorted Naruto. In a blink of an eye, Sasuke was on Naruto, clutching his shirt in a tight grip.

"DOBE!" He shouted at him. Naruto's eyes widen in surprise at the uncharacteristic behaviour. Something trickled at the back of his mind, something that Sakura had once told him.

"Sasuke was always apathetic to those around him. He didn't care for anyone and no one's opinion mattered to him. But you know what Naruto? You started to matter to Sasuke. Your opinion to him and your relationship to him, from rivals to friends, that mattered to him. I think it frightened him. He didn't know what to feel towards you. However, the truth was that you were his most important person. Until Sasuke actually realizes that, most likely it has to be something shocking, only then will he come home…to you."

"Answer the question."

Could Sakura have been right? But what set this off? Maybe it was Kaji.

Deciding that it was in the best interest of his poor shirt, he answered the question.

"No one bastard, now get off me." Pulling away from the raven, Naruto headed toward the river he camped near to get a drink before packing his camping gear away.

"Take a bath."

"No. Don't you have somewhere to be?" With no response being given, Naruto took to the trees, keeping the river to his right and following it. It would lead to a lake and from there, Naruto knew the way to Konoha. Without glancing back, Naruto knew Sasuke was following him.

"I'm going to destroy Konoha."

Naruto stopped on a tree branch and the branch creaked as the Uchiha stopped next to him. Naruto turned towards him and looked into his eyes. The statement lacked the strength and determination of when he use to say he was going to kill his brother. Naruto rolled his eyes and did the only thing he could do in a situation like this.

He smacked Sasuke's head.

"Are you an idiot?" Sasuke glared in response.

"Konoha betrayed my clan," Sasuke started before telling him what he had learned about the truth of the Uchiha massacre. After he was finished, Naruto rolled his eyes again before smacking the raven again.

"The council have screwed up lives since they were formed, that's nothing new. Hell, they've screwed with me since I was born. The council are bastards; everyone knows that, even Tsunade. Though recently she's been happy saying something about finally getting enough information to disband the council," mumbled Naruto.

"I'm still going to destroy that village." Sasuke said, but without venom. Naruto turned towards him again.

"Are you going to release the Kyuubi? Are you going to do Madara's bidding and finish what he wanted to do eighteen years ago?" Sometimes his mentor's informants were a godsend.

"Eighteen years ago, he sent Kyuubi to destroy Konoha. He indirectly killed both my parents. Are you going to finish it and kill me and release Kyuubi to kill all those innocent people who don't know of the council's manipulation? Are you going to kill all those people and be just like the council?" With the way Sasuke averted his gaze, Naruto knew Sasuke wasn't going to do it. Sasuke wasn't a bad person per se; he would never kill innocent people if they got in the way of revenge. If he did, he would have killed Naruto and Sakura a long time ago.

"Are you going to kill me?" Naruto asked stepping up to Sasuke. The branch creaked as he moved.

"…No."

Naruto stopped in his tracks. In all the time since Sasuke had left the village, he had always said that he would kill Naruto (though he never would) as a whim, but to verbally say no was a first. Naruto looked at Sasuke's face, actually looked at him. He still wore his clothes from his time in Sound. He looked more mature than the last time they saw each other and as Naruto loathe to admit, Sasuke had gotten taller, maybe around six feet.

He looks tired. I guess constant travelling and being on the run gets stressful. Huh, bastard wants to go home, but is too proud to admit it. Since Sakura and I haven't seen him in two years, guess he hasn't had anyone around to force him back. Damn that pride of his.

"Take a damn bath." Naruto's eye twitched in response.

"Bastard I said no!" A split second later, Naruto was naked and in the river. Looking up from his position, Naruto stared out to the shore to see a smug Sasuke holding his clothes. He let them fall onto the ground near him before crossing his arms. In retaliation, Naruto crossed his legs and arms and sat in the shallow banks of the river. He could feel the appreciative gaze of Sasuke as he looked upon his naked flesh, but he chose to ignore it, though he couldn't suppress the excited shiver than ran down his spine as well as the blush that had blossomed upon his cheeks.

"Wash your self. That man's scent is all over you."

Naruto thought a little teasing was in order.

"His name was Kaji-sama and no I will not wash myself." From the corner of his eyes, Naruto could see Sasuke uncrossing his arms and tightening his fists.

"Fine." Surprised, Naruto turned his head towards the Uchiha to see him taking off his clothes.

"What are you doing?" He squeaked out as his eyes met more and more of the Uchiha's flesh.

"Since you won't wash yourself, I'll have to wash you myself." Sasuke said, a smirk gracing his lips at the way the blond looked at him as he took off his shirt and hand guards. Slipping out of his sandals and bandages, he started onto his pants and boxers.

Naruto couldn't help but stare as Sasuke literally stripped for him. Naruto came to a realization that the Uchiha wasn't just going to be washing him if the erection the Uchiha was sporting was any indication.

"Sasuke…"

"Let's get you washed up dobe."

All things said and done, Naruto didn't really have any qualms about this situation.

At least not at that moment

--000--

Okay, maybe Naruto should have listened to that voice in the back of his head that had told him to not do it, but he had ignored it. If he had, at least he wouldn't have been in this humiliation position while making his way back to Konoha.

"Having fun, dobe?"

"Shut-up bastard."

Yes, the humiliation position, riding piggyback by the Uchiha. Tightening his arms around Sasuke's neck, Naruto shifted his position and winced in pain as his lower anatomy throbbed. Sasuke adjusted his grip with Naruto's knees so he was in a more comfortable position.

"Better?" He asked. Naruto settled his head onto Sasuke's right shoulder in response.

"Where are your teammates?"

"I told them to go on without me." This basically meant that Sasuke was going to come home with Naruto when he first saw Naruto at the brothel. Naruto let out a small smile as he tightened his arms around the Uchiha.

"They could have come to Konoha too."

"They'll probably come in a day or two once we reach there." Apparently, Sasuke knew his team well.

As Naruto saw the gates of Konoha that evening, he never would have thought that the mission that he was dreading and cursing the gods, would result in finally bringing back Sasuke.

I guess the gods were finally raining down some fortune to one Uzumaki Naruto.

A/N: I've been playing with this for a while and decided to put up despite not being satisfied with it. Maybe one day I'll fix it up and expand it when I'm more motivated. Otherwise, review to tell me how you guys liked it!
