The List of Uchiha
Narrator P.O.V
Naruto took in every word Hideyoshi said, yes even the last part, and began to think how he would feel if he were in Sasuke's position and realized…HE WAS DEAD WRONG! Naruto wouldn't flip out but then again it was Sasuke and Sasuke was just trying to protect Naruto, even if he was an overachiever at it. Sighing Naruto got up as Hideyoshi started talking with Sakura and Kakashi came back sporting a bruised cheek and an angry Sasuke glaring from behind.
"Hey Sasuke!" Naruto called running over, Sasuke's eyes widen a fraction in fear he was in trouble again then he folded his arms thinking he was doing more then Naruto had asked. "Let me talk to you for a minute okay," Naruto smiled mischievously and Sasuke narrowed his eyes still suspicious this was a trap. Kakashi came over suspecting something was up and not wanting to waste time.
"Now, now you two can do what ever you want after we make sure Hideyoshi has arrived safely and we get home," Making Naruto pout and Sasuke anxious. Onward they continued until they came to the village.
"Hideyoshi are you sure you can't back with us?" Naruto said doubting it was possible, but still wanting to spend time with him.
"Yeah, yeah! It would be wonderful to get to know you better," Sakura trying to sound as cute as possible obviously completely over any crushes she had before.
"I'm sure the village wouldn't mind having you a while longer it's all up to you of course," Kakashi smiling, leaving it to Sasuke to wordlessly stand looking white at their questions.
"Well…" Hideyoshi paused putting his hand to his face thoughtfully, "I'd like to get to know everyone better…" This gained Sasuke's attention he looked expressionless, but it was clear he was interested, "Nah I think I've stayed long enough," He said bowing to everyone but keeping his eyes in Sasuke's direction,"
"Alright see ya. You better keep in contact though!" Naruto said pointing and started walking away with Kakashi and Sakura who waved. All but Sasuke who remained looking at the man questionable eyes watching him.
"Why, you didn't do that because of me did you, because if you did I don't care if you stay,"
"Sasuke there are lots of reasons I said no, you are one of them yes. The main reason though is because the longer I stay the harder it is to leave," he looked at Sasuke noticing that small softness that entered his eyes every time he spoke serious and Sasuke heard. "The other main thing is that my place is slowly dwindling there…and yours is growing," Sasuke's eyes broaden a little.
"Come on Sasuke let's go," Sakura called and Naruto waved him over.
"See, you know what will happen if you leave already, so don't keep them waiting. I'll check in ever once and while to make sure your doing what your best at,"
"Sasuke!" cried Naruto once again proving Hideyoshi's point as Sasuke looked back.
"How do you know, so-," Sasuke asked puzzled but he was already gone. "Hn," Sasuke nodded in the direction of the village and left to join his companions.
Tsunade P.O.V
I stare out the window the sky is clouded just as the villagers minds are about now. They know now that they have been torturing an innocent boy all the guilt keeps affecting many people through their day. We have had an abundant accidents today I should be concerned as hokage, but as a person close to that boy I can't help but feel this what they deserve and I feel horrible feeling that way even if it is justified. I've gotten word Naruto and his team are on their way back I'm nervous as I'm sure he is he'll be here by nightfall. How everyone will react is to anyone's guess I suppose all I can do is hope for the best.
"Hokage madam, There has been another accident a man has dropped some building equipment on his co-worker outside the market. No one is seriously injured, but the co-worker is traumatized,"
"Probably not from the accident, hmp. Alright get the paperwork," this is going to be a long week.
Naruto P.O.V
I tried to be as jumpy as possible on the way back so no one would worry, but when we reached the edge of town gloom engulfed us all we all fell silent. We walked together close, our feet in rhythm with each other and our heartbeats. I could sense everyone having that same knot that had in my stomach. I lick my lips nervously and breathe out harshly. I must have spooked Sasuke since he breathed in sharply. I suddenly feel guilty I'm putting them all in an awkward position, but even if I apologized they'd just say it was no problem and keep on going through everything because of me. I squeeze my jacket to my chest feeling tight and trapped. I think I'm going to get sick I'm so nervous and cornered.
"I'll see you tomorrow then," Sakura, said breaking my train of thought, she gave me a sympathetic look, but she didn't talk about what was up and I gave her a grateful nod.
"It is late I suppose I'll be going as well goodbye boys," Kakashi tried cheerfully leaving Sasuke and I to head home.
We didn't say much on our way there or entering the house, we just simply sat at the table staring across from it. We would look at each other, but not at the same time, we look away when one looks up. We take turns looking and thinking soon like everything else we do it becomes a contest. We don't say anything about the rules we don't need to we just do it. You can't get caught staring, so if they look up you have to look away, but if you look away you have to maneuver to make it look like you caught them, but you have to be careful not to look up to soon or give the idea you're going to. We don't say anything if we win we just mark it down in our heads and smirk. Sadly, again like everything we play, we get to competitive and start acting like sore losers.
"Hey, I caught you on that, man how are you so good at this," I say folding my arms he has caught me five times in a row I'm starting to fall behind.
"No, you didn't and I've had loads of practice,"
"Yes I did, and what do you mean practice!"
"Hn, dobe I mean I've stared at you before moron," I blush.
"Oh, well you didn't have to say like that," he rolls his eyes.
"Never mind I'll make dinner or something, so do whatever you want," he walked all moody like always.
Sasuke P.O.V
I knew what he was worried about but I don't know what to say I want to keep him away from all the pain, but I can't protect him from the whole world and right now, that's the entire village. Naruto was mine, but that's not enough now. I don't know what to do I guess I just do everything I normally do and hope for the best. I feel angry at that thought "DAMN IT!" I yell only to hope Naruto didn't hear that's when I hear the shower's on thankfully. My angry is flowing around me still I see I broke the pan that was under my fist. I threw it away hoping Naruto wouldn't question me buying a new pan. I decide takeout was probably good since I can't think straight and would probably burn down the house at my attempts to cook. I walk past Naruto's room all it has is a dresser and a bed on the dresser he the he has the same picture of team seven as I do. Sakura does as well; it's weird all of us being connected by that memory in a frame. I shake off the wave-link feeling to make the order I order ramen for dobe and some Lo-mein for myself. I noticed the voice over the phone is slightly familiar, but that's not surprising I'm sure I've order from this place before.
On my way, back to the small dinning room next to the kitchen when I noticed that a picture frame has fallen on the ground in the hallway. Without really thinking, I go to rescue the painting from the floor, bending down to retrieve the fallen art I look up to the closed door of that room again. With all that's been going on this room seemed a world away. Even through the closed door I could picture everything in the room perfectly two wall art on opposite sides of the room, a dark sofa in the middle, a large window with matching curtains when pulled back gave view to the forest around the this side of the district. I felt myself tighten the room was mocking me somehow. I had agreed in the hospital to let go of the past, but I still hadn't gone in the room. I remembered how it was rather recently that it was opened when Naruto had stormed and destroyed the house. 'Maybe it's time I tested my strength,' I think as I have said so many times before. The doorknob makes that loud scrap against the paint of the door as if screaming for me to turn back. No chance I step in as a rush of cool air pushed against me. I stand in the room and blink confused, it's just a room, a room. No force was trying to smolder me into the ground it was as if nothing had happened here at all. No more eerie a feeling then a big dark room. I jump though when Naruto puts his hand on my shoulder.
"Hey, dobe you don't do that!" I say looking at him annoyed but stiffen when I see his face is sad.
"Are you okay?" he asked turning his head eyes big and sky-like.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I smile for his benefit he smiles back, that's about the time I noticed he has nothing but a towel on.
"Moron your clothes!" he looked down embarrassed
"Yeah I kind of forgot them before, so had to get them from my room and then the door was opened…" I looked away he was, so…cute. He was just boldly walking around wet and naked. Oh my go- no, no bad Sasuke! My nose and face feel hot I run when the doorbell rings hoping a certain someone didn't notice the slight red ring around my nose. This stupid I'm an Uchiha I'm supposed to have this under control it's not my fault he's so attractive and forgetful.
As I pay for the food and I'm, closing the door Naruto makes it a point to jump on my back excitedly just to see who's at the door. I squirm uncomfortable at the new and dangerous weight (he's still not dressed) on me.
"Where did you go? who's at the door? HI!" he shouts in my ear adding to more embarrassment, he whacks me in the face with the doorknob.
"Naruto get down and behave, it's the deliver man," I say trying to get him off by attempting to stand up straight but his arms are around my neck. "Sorry about that good night," I say giving him the 'you may leave look,' while I felt Naruto's towel start to slip.
"Uh, right good evening," I think he was going to say something else, but I close the door to deal with the literal monkey on my back.
"Down Naruto!" I say as if talking to a dog but it does the trick and he gets down I put a hand to my face which is still flushed I pull my fingers through my hair then proceed to glare at Naruto disapprovingly.
"Sorry Sasuke I just got a weird vibe and I had to know who was at the door. I suddenly got a lot of energy and got so happy!" I look at him he's jumping like a child like usual, but this is the first I've seen him so happy. "You see I had a weird thought, I thought about you, me, and everyone having a party, not just a party a big huge jam for you!"
"No,"
"Come on you know I'll do a great job and handle everything as a thank you!" he starts hopping and hanging on me I look away. "Please you've done every thing for me I want to do something nice I promise you'll have fun!"
"Naruto I don't think that's the best idea I mean I hate parties and will YOU PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!"
"Oh yeah! And please think about it Sasuke it will be fun!" again off he went harebrained scheme intact. I knew I was going to give in one way or another but I was still going to make it to where I won too. Uchiha's keep their mates happy simple as that, but we don't stop acting Uchiha altogether that's not how I was raised and that's not how I will acted and Naruto knew that. He even told me that once he liked that when we first met when I was trying to ignore him something like 'Hey, you don't have to ignore me acting all high and might!'
'Do you think I'm going to listen to you?' I say irritated and slightly starting to enjoy picking on him it was so easy and fulfilling, then he got loud and grinned slyly.
'You know, you don't bend over for anyone good all the more reason for me to beat you,' Sasuke merely scoffed, but accepted the challenge that started many others.
That was a long time ago it was hard to believe that now we're living in the same house. It just shows the effect Naruto has on people.
Narrator P.O.V
That night both got a well-needed rest while they tried to hold any problems off until tomorrow. The next day had been confusing as the villagers all had very different reactions as some swallowed their pride and begged for forgiveness, while some just acted like nothing had happened and started treating him normally, and still others weren't completely convinced that Naruto could hold a demon and walk away without any influenced. Those were surprisingly forgiven for their rudeness though when Naruto wasn't looking they ended up in the hospital curtsies of Uchiha Sasuke. One occasion however most of any hostility and grudges were ended by Naruto himself when one of his enemies from the village confronted Naruto and Sasuke walking through the park.
"Well, I guess it makes since after the brutal slaughter of his family Uchiha would want to satisfy his sick blood fetish with a demon," The man said smugly looking down on them Sasuke was about to crush him, but before he could warn the man Naruto was on him. Sasuke watched as Naruto pounded his face until Sasuke finely pulled him off.
"DON'T YOU EVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT SASUKE!" he pause to spit "OR I'LL SHOW YOU BLOOD FETISH!"
Sasuke was proud having his boyfriend stand up for him and realized Naruto was there for him too. That wasn't only feeling that overcame Sasuke who was completely turned on by the display of defensiveness and jumped Naruto right there for a good ten minutes, before heading back to their place. Sasuke told Naruto he could have his party afterwards and spoiled Naruto with gifts and painted Naruto's room as a surprise. Naruto felt odd with all the extra affection he would get from Sasuke when no one was around he wasn't used to it so he decided maybe he should ask Iruka.
"Sasuke gave into letting you throw a party hmm?"
"Yeah softy, but I don't feel comfortable with all the stuff he's been doing for me,"
"Have you told him that?"
"Tch, every ten minutes but he always says the same thing 'Uchiha's take care of their mates blah, blah, blah, blah!'"
"Well, Naruto don't you think it's nice he loves you so much?"
"Of course, but man if I asked him to get me the moon he'd joyride on a NASA rocket or something. I mean I just feel he's wasting it on me,"
"He's not and Sasuke's smart he wouldn't do anything wasteful. When's the party?"
"After Valentine's Day, man I don't even want to think of what's Sasuke's going to do then, I don't even know what I'm going to do,"
"Well. You could always give Sasuke you Naruto," Kakashi said perverted intent coming up from behind Naruto and Iruka.
"Kakashi sensei don't be gross!" Naruto said blushing along with Iruka.
"Oh, you may find it gross but just the other day I found Sasuke staring at your-,"
"That's enough remember you're a teacher," Iruka scolding him and clamping his hand hard over Kakashi's mouth a little harder then necessary.
"GAH, I'm surrounded by perverts!" Naruto shouted throwing his hands up in defeat.
"Now, you two are the perverts I was simply going to say eyes," earning him a glare and a 'yeah right' from the two. "So, I'm invited right?" He said hopefully smiling.
"Yep, everyone's invited!" Naruto jumped up "It's going to be great!" Naruto shouted but then he closed his eyes and fell back onto the pavement.
"Naruto are you okay!" Iruka shouted at the top of his lungs Kakashi bending to try to help his student.
"Yeah, I just got really dizzy," Naruto frowned looking up blurred vision he felt cold. "Sasuke?" Naruto said under his breath for some reason. "Help to my house please!" Naruto begged Iruka who was trying to take him to the hospital. "I want to check on Sasuke first please then I'll go anywhere promise!"
"Naruto, Sasuke's fine we need to have you checked out stop squirming," Naruto protested when his vision went on and off every few seconds.
"PLEASE!" Naruto yelled gaining more attention. He really hadn't meant to yell, but the oncoming sharp pain in the back of his head made him grit it out.
"Alright, okay you probably need to lie down anyways," He stayed silent for the rest of the way as the pain kept coming back only to recede quietly. On the way in the house, Iruka called Sasuke only to find him in pain on the couch it seemed he too was suffering, though it didn't look as crippling as it was to Naruto. Iruka walked over to Sasuke who was looking at the ground in only slight pain. He looked up eyes wide Sasuke outstretched his arms as Naruto did the same. Naruto felt tears fall as he was easily handed to Sasuke who took him and held him to his forehead looking at him.
"Naruto, I'm sorry it was my fault I didn't know it would affect you too. It was a jutsu I was trying," Sasuke, said quietly as both experienced another wave of pain he held Naruto close. "It will ware off soon promise just stay with me okay," Iruka backed off feeling out of place.
After the incident Sasuke became persistent to make it up to Naruto, but the only thing Naruto wanted was to know why and what had happen, sadly Sasuke wouldn't tell. Even the eyes didn't work the eyes! Luck for Sasuke everyone forgot the incident and his butt was saved thanks to Naruto's party when he even agreed to let Naruto to invite in Sasuke's view the 'worm, devil, or the most popular the thing,' to come to the party. Naruto tried not to get his hopes up too high since Hideyoshi according to his latest letter was far in the desert. Valentine's Day was huge Sasuke took Naruto everywhere and wouldn't allow him to talk to anyone he bought everything Naruto looked at with interest. Naruto asked Sasuke the day before what he would like Sasuke in return. Sasuke said love, but Naruto took out his tools and drew the most amazing picture on both them under the shade of a tree. Sasuke looked at it; tracing his finger around it, he got up and put it in a frame on the wall without saying a word. Then he lightly kissed Naruto on the cheek and whisked him off to wherever Naruto wished.
The years continued on growing along with the boys another group of generations braving the world. Many questions for a while went unanswered bad things becoming good, people living in joy and complication. Especially the two boys who had been long over due for a normal happy life some would say growing up those four years were uneventful if you didn't know the people very well, but for at least those two it was the most excitement they ever had or wanted. For those next four years in comfort aware, it could be changed in an instant for better or worse they laughed along with the punches and kisses of life. For those two who had tasted almost every flavor of life knowing full well more tastes were ahead life would seem to bend to their wills and turn happy when they found the best route together. Breathing freely, fingers laced down those roads ready for any pain that would come.
THE END
So, what did you think? I like how this turned out honestly, but any comments are accepted. In part two, I will reveal who was part of the fox scheme, what that jutsu was, and whether it's going to be mpreg or not. The story before that is going to be an AU and another Sasuke/Naruto with a lot of interesting twist so look for it! I don't know how much I could Thank you!
