Recap: Still, he was suffering.

Sasuke didn't know what was wrong with Neji he just hoped he would get through it, alive at that.

Sasuke took a deep breath and walked into his room, leaving all thoughts about Neji behind. As he entered the smell of Cinnamon and Lemon attacked his nostrils. He loved the smell; it had to be his favorite ever since he was little. He continued farther, found his room had been cleaned, and Naruto perched on a latter trying to change a light that was busted. He seemed to be struggling, but kept on trying, getting on his tippy toes as a last effort. Sasuke then coughed making his presence known.

Naruto stopped what he was doing, and started to shake a little without even turning around to see who it was. Sasuke, the way he looked, his voice, and just his presence made Naruto quiver wherever he was or whatever he was doing. Naruto looked down and faced toward Sasuke and started to speak.

"Hello Master, welcome home, is there anything I can do for you?" It sounded robotic, rehearsed one too many times and it was. Sasuke had made sure to install this in Naruto's brain.

"No, I'm fine, Continue with what you were doing."

Now Naruto couldn't give up on changing the light because Sasuke would see it as an unfinished job, so he continued to try and change the light, failing miserably. The shaking wasn't help either.

Sasuke then walked passed Naruto and was headed for the bathroom when he saw Naruto slip, and close his eyes, probably preparing for the pain that was to come from making contact with the floor, but it never came. Sasuke had quickly ran toward Naruto and caught him before he hit the ground. Naruto kept his eyes closed still preparing for the fall only to realize Sasuke had caught him. His eyes opened in alarm fearing he would be punished although Sasuke saved him. When he looked at Sasuke he saw no anger, no emotion at all. Sasuke laid Naruto on the floor and continued on his way to the bathroom.

Sasuke POV

What was that? What compelled me to save him? Was it the look of pain on his face before he even hit the ground? And the fear in his eyes when he looked at me, I use to have that look when father would punish me, that fear. Have I become my father; the one person who I despise more than anyone else.

Normal POV

Sasuke was having inner turmoil. He didn't want to be anything like his father, and in the process of avoiding just that, he had become the man. He sighed inside the bathroom, things would have to change. He collected himself, splashed water on his face and walked back into his room. He looked in the general direction of Naruto and found him picking up shards of glass with blood stained hands. Naruto probably was doing it in a rush, so Sasuke wouldn't find out. Naruto eyes widen to Saucers as he saw Sasuke walk out the bathroom and continued to move even quicker. Sasuke then went and pressed a button and instantly a maid walked in with a broom and dustpan, and started to clean up the mess. Sasuke walked over to Naruto, grabbed his wrist, and lead him into the bathroom.

Naruto shaking by this point was out of control, it seemed he was having a seizure. The last time he was in this room, Sasuke had put some type of toxin in the air and Naruto could barely breathe. He had to stick his head in the toilet just to escape the mist that was in the air.

Sasuke tightened his grip on Naruto to keep him stable and carried him over to the toilet, telling him to sit. He then scurried around the bathroom picking up various objects such as; tweezers, bandages, rubbing alcohol, and a soothing ointment. He then went back to Naruto and knelled in front of him. Sasuke picked up the tweezers and grabbed Naruto's hand, but the shaking was too strong he could operate with them.

"Calm down." His voice was icy but he needed Naruto to relax.

"Y-y-y- Yes Master." It took a moment for Naruto to relax and realize he wasn't going to be punished, and once he did the shaking became a light trembling.

Sasuke quickly went to work with the tweezers; picking out glass, cleaning the wounds , applying ointment, and lastly bandaging the wounds.

Knowing that Naruto's wounds were probably throbbing, Sasuke walked over to the cabinet, pulled out a pain reliever, and handed it to Naruto.

Naruto was hesitant to take the pill. It wasn't blue like the one that made him erect, or the opal color of ecstasy that Sasuke had given him for punishment. Sasuke seeing the hesitation started to speak.

"It's a pain reliever, to ease the pain in your hands." He proceeded to hand Naruto the pill and walked out of the bathroom expecting Naruto to follow.

Naruto quickly swallowed the pill and trailed after Sasuke into the bedroom. When he entered a maid was already cleaning up the mess that he had made.

"Naruto. Come here." Sasuke tone was neutral as he spoke, but Naruto had started to shake again at the command.

"Yes master?"

"I want you to go downstairs and tell Teuchi to prepare dinner for me and a guest."

Naruto nodded and exited the room. On his way he ran into a few servants that the Uchiha's had let become actually citizen after their slave services were no longer needed. Most of them banded together and rented out various rooms throughout the mansion. Naruto rounded the corner and could smell the food. Then he heard a crash, turned around, and found that a girl had broken a vase that stood in the hallway. She seemed to be 12 or 13, and Naruto was instantly disgusted by anyone that had bought her for their "needs". He could see the fear in her eyes as she scrambled to pick up the shards of glass. It reminded him of the events that just transpired in Sasuke's room.

Naruto didn't know what moved him to it, but he ran over to the girl and started to help. Soon they heard footsteps coming toward them and hurried their cleaning. The girl stood up along with Naruto and they ran down the hall, they soon split at an intersection, one leading to the garden and another toward the kitchen. Naruto having to find Teuchi took the latter choice and headed to the kitchen, but as he turned the corner he ran into someone. With a thud he and the shards in his hand went tumbling to the ground.

As Naruto looked up he came into contact with the most frightening looking man his eyes had set on. He contained an air of dominance and immediately Naruto knew who he was. The blackish blue hair, the position of his face, and those onyx eyes that looked identical to Sasuke himself, but were more cold, less merciful. He hadn't met the man personally but many slaves had been told by their owners to avoid him. He had been said not to be a man, but a demon from the pits of hell. He had a reputation that came with his name that would make even the strongest men quiver.

So who was this man Naruto had just crossed paths with?

None other than the infamous Fugaku Uchiha.
