AN: About time to get our boys out of the hospital. Took me FOEVER to get this done and still not 100% thrilled with it, but I had to get them out of there eventually.
Warning:Language, no beta, NaruSasu kakairu
Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it... This can be either a blessing or a powerful curse. Sometimes it is both.
Tsunade-Sama the 5th Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves was Livid.
She glared at the two brats before her. What the hell were they thinking? Scratch that, they weren't thinking, that was apparent. She thought she had gotten her message thru to them yesterday, obviously not. Not only was the Uchiha heir sporting a new hickey to match the one he already had, But Naruto's neck looked like he'd been attacked by a vacuum. A black haired, obsidian eyed vacuum. Covering her eyes with a hand she sighed heavily, and started counting to 10, slowly, very slowly. That didn't work, so she settled for whacking each of them upside the head.
"Ouch, What the Hell you Old Hag, what was that for?" Naruto rubbed his head and pouted, while the Uchiha brat just smirked. He'd done a fine dandy job on Naruto, and seemed to be quite proud of his handy work. Stupid Uchiha pride and competitiveness. These two were gonna be the death of her yet. That is if they didn't die from blood loss by sucking it out thru their necks before that happened. To top it off that perverted Copy Nin was snickering behind her.
"Like you need to ask, have you seen yourself this morning Brat?" Naruto had the grace to blush as he scratched the back of his head with one hand, yes he had seen Sasuke's handiwork, umm mouth work. He'd actually been rather surprised Kyuubi hadn't healed it yet. Stupid Fox probably didn't do it on purpose and was most likely currently laughing his ass off.
"Well, I, Um. You see.."
"Stop, I don't even want to hear it. I thought I told you two to lay off the hickeys." She glared at the pair again, stupid teenage hormones, had she ever been this young, or this stupid. "Sasuke is supposed to be healing, not getting new injuries Naruto. But here you are, in a Hospital of all places chewing on each other like dogs with a new bone." All three males in the room thought the same thing at the same time. 'She said bone, boner te-he-he' She turned on Kakashi.
"You back there, stop snickering you're only encouraging them. Damnit why do I even try." Naruto batted his big blue eyes at her.
"Cause you loves us to pieces." Naruto baby talked and gave her a cute pouty face.
"Pieces is what you're gonna be in if you don't start listening to me Brat." Tsunade sighed again, she did love these brats, especially Naruto. "If Sasuke is energetic enough to nearly chew your neck off I might as well let him go home. But as his Doctor I'm telling you right now Naruto NO SEX, is that clear. I don't want you molesting Sasuke until his chakra networks are more stable."
"Huh, Why's that? What's 'that' got to do with the Bastards chakra networks?"
"Yes Tsunade-Sama, what does that have to do with them." Sasuke was curious as well. Besides he wanted to get molested by Naruto, if the Hokage didn't have a good enough reason… Well you know the drill, what an Uchiha wants an Uchiha gets.
"People who use chakra on a regular basis often infuse their love making with it. Something which you both need to avoid while Sasuke is still healing. Also, very strong emotions can trigger unintentional chakra use whether you mean to or not. I figure at the rate he's healing it will be a minimum of 2-3 weeks at least." Tsunade watched as the boys digested this information then, a look passed between. The Brats were hiding something, she just knew it.
"Naruto," Her voice sounding very intimidating at that moment. "Please tell me you two haven't..."
"Nani?! NO, no, it's not that. I wasn't planning on rushing the Asshole anyway. Though another two weeks, yeah wasn't thinking that long…" Naruto blushed a bit, he looked at the Uchiha Heir again, the dark haired boy nodded. "It's just, well Sasuke was having a nightmare where he was reliving his fight with Itachi and well, the Mangekyo Sharrigan activated. He accidentally drew me into it, not like he was attacking me with it." Naruto didn't want Tsunade to think Sasuke would hurt him intentionally, that was in the past and best forgotten. "But because of that I saw the whole fight.
"I see, when did this happen?"
"The first night after he woke up."
"Interesting. It appears that the emotional overload caused by the nightmare, his severely weakened state , not to mention what it was about may have activated his Mangekyu Sharrigan. The Uchiha clan has always misinterpreted how the Mangekyu Sharringan was brought on. If it was easy all the Uchiha's would have eventually activated it. But it takes extremely strong, conflicting and highly traumatizing emotions. Not something most people go looking for."
"Itachi told me I needed to kill my Best Friend to achieve the Mangekyu Sharringan. I obviously I didn't do that."
"See what I mean, he completely misinterpreted how it was activated based on how Madara Uchiha the first holder of the Mangekyu got his."
"Hn"
"Oh yeah, Grandma that's something else we need to tell you. From what Itachi told the Teme here, apparently Madara is still alive and kicking. He may have even been the real killer of the Uchiha Clan and not Itachi. At the very least they did it together."
"WHAT! That can't be, the 1st Hokage my grandfather supposedly killed him, at the Final Valley... Ah Damn, they never did find a body." Kakashi had been listening intently to the conversation.
"Tsunade-sama, that Akatsuki member Kakuzu told me he also had been around since the time of the first and had even fought him at some point. It is very possible that Madara Uchiha has been alive, biding his time."
Sasuke watched the 5th as she absorbed this new information. The things he had learned from his fight with Itachi burned in his mind. 'Madara, Madara Uchiha', that man needed to die, for so many reasons. Such as everything he had done to the village, to the Uchiha clan and most importantly what he suspected he had done to Itachi. This time though Sasuke wasn't going to repeat history and run blindly off in a hate filled haze of vengeance.
"That man, he needs to pay for his crimes against my Clan, this village and Itachi. I will kill him. Eventually."
"Bastard, don't you even think of leaving me again! We can defeat him together." Naruto began to glow softly with his chakra at even the thought of Sasuke leaving the village again, of leaving him. Sasuke smirked.
"Dobe, this time I'll do it the right way. With the blessing of the village and you at my side." Naruto unconscious chakra use subsided at the Raven's words. Sasuke placed a hand where the curse mark from Orochimaru used to be. "I-I was a child and blinded by my hate and anger, I believe Orochimaru's curse mark may have clouded my thinking even further. Now that it's gone, I can see all the hurt I caused everyone. I'm sorry Naruto, Tsunade-sama and you too Kakashi, I should have listened to you back then. I can't change what I did. But I can work on making it up to you all." Secretly the 5th Hokage was glad to hear the Uchiha Heir admit his mistakes. He still had a lot to atone for in her book, but if anyone knew what Orochimaru was capable of it was her, her and Jiraiya. They had been teammates after all, and a long time ago she had cared for him and considered the Snake Sannin one of her Special People until he had betrayed all of them in his greed for power and immortality.
"Well it's a start. Just see that it doesn't ever happen again Brat, or I Will list you as a Missing Nin, got it!"
"Hai."
"Well you boys have sure given me a lot to digest here. Knowing is half the battle, in the meantime Sasuke needs to continue letting his chakra networks heal and regaining his physical strength. Kakashi once Sasuke can start training I want you to work with him and Naruto on combining their chakra's and working together. Hmmm, I think I may have to bring that lazy Nara brat in on this one… Yes I think so.." Just as she was about to leave she turned back to the teenagers. "Oh Sasuke you can check out this afternoon. I'll get the head nurse started on the discharge paperwork. Have you two boys decided where you're going to be living?" Both teens blushed slightly, she didn't even ask just assumed they were moving in together. We're they that obvious? Silly Question, of course they were. It had been obvious to everyone around them for years.
"Hn"
"Yeah well the Bastard and I decided I'd move in with him. Guess all that house cleaning you had me do will come in handy eh Grandma." Tsunade thumped Naruto on the head, by now it was just a reflex of him calling her Grandma. There was no real strength behind the blow. More like a love pat than anything else to the kitsune vessel.
"You two sure about this?" Unconsciously their hands joined and fingers threaded, holding each other's hand. They looked at one another, blushed again and nodded.
"Yeah, we're sure."
"Good I'm glad. I want you to be happy Brats." Tsunade smiled and then ruffled the sunny blonde head before repeating the gesture with the Raven black head. She left after that, she had a lot work to do thanks to all the revelations that morning. But she'd rather be warned and able to make plans than get broadsided by that Monster Madara Uchiha appearing out of nowhere in the future.
A half dozen clones, 2 hours, a little paperwork to end his lease and Naruto was ready to begin his new life living with Sasuke in the Uchiha district and the mansion he called home. The paperwork to get Sasuke released was a trifle more in depth but eventually it was completed to the satisfaction of the hospital staff and they were free to go.
Naruto had sent a message to Kiba (via clone) to meet them at the entrance with Akamaru so they could help get Sasuke home. The Uchiha was in far better shape than when he had arrived in the Leaf Village a little over 2 weeks ago, but he was still in no shape to make the walk all the way to his house. Naruto didn't want to use the Teleportation Jitsu on the off chance that such a large amount of chakra use would be detrimental to Sasuke's raw and healing channels. Enter one pony sized Ninja Dog. Nice thing about dogs, they never hold grudges, and Kiba was just like his best pal.
"Oi, Kiba glad you could make it."
"Hey Naruto, Sasuke. Good to see you guys. Told ya if you needed help to just let me know." The Inuzuka heir smiled warmly at the pair waiting at the entrance, Sasuke sitting and waiting in a wheel chair (which was required for all leaving patients) Naruto standing next to him. Sasuke eyes went wide when he spotted Akamaru for the first time in over 3 years.
"Inuzuka" Akamaru boldly went up to Sasuke and sniffed him all over. Sasuke tentatively reached out a hand to scratch the Inuzuka dog behind the ears. While the pets were welcomed by Akamaru was a little shocking to Kiba, in the past the Uchiha would have either ignored Akamaru, or told him to get away from him. Sasuke had changed, and to Kiba it was looking like it was definitely for the better. The Uchiha had always been an unsociable fuck, seems being with Naruto was warming up the cold bastard.
"Arf arf."
"What's that Akamaru? Yup Sasuke sure does have Naruto's scent all over him. Didn't I tell you they were an item now?"
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
"Don't get lippy with me, I forgot okay." Kiba blushed a little as he looked at the curious pair. "Akamaru says it took the two of you long enough, apparently he always knew you'd make a pair of it. Well, and he's irked I didn't tell him as soon as I found out." Kiba scratched the back of his head as he tried to explain why Akamaru was put out at his partner.
"Arf, arf"
"Anyway, Akamaru says he's more than happy to give Sasuke a lift home."
"A lift? I'm supposed to ride Akamaru?" Sasuke seemed a bit shocked that this would be possible, despite how large Akamaru was now.
"Eh? Sure, I ride on him all the time. It one of his natural abilities, he channels a small amount of charka to strengthen his back and legs. This way we can cover a large area faster than even several ninjas on foot. Carrying you home is a piece of cake compared to running point on a mission."
Sasuke was placed on Akamaru's back and he got to 'ride' home. Naruto on one side, holding him steady with a hand to his back, Kiba on the other. Home, a place he hadn't seen since he'd left the village almost 4 years ago. A home that would no longer be just an empty house filled with nothing but ghosts of his past. Now home would be where Naruto was. A Home that would be filled with sunshine hair, laughing blue eyes, a ready smile, eager kisses, a warm body next to his at night and most of all Love.
Sasuke Uchiha was going home
